A Timely Topic.
I A Under the. above, head the Wil
mington Sur says:,-..
The unfortunate condition of affairs
in Florida will, it Is thought, result
in a diversion ol much of the winter
travel heretofore going to that State,
to points in North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia.
W are not sure of this. It does
not fellow that where yellow fever
occurs in any one season it returns
again to the same place soon after.
The disease greatly afflicted Norfolk
and Wilmington some year ago
Norfolk in 1855, and Wilmington in
1 862 but these places have been ex
empt since then. It may be, and we
trust will be, that by the adoption
of timely and effective hygienic meas
ures, Jacksonville and other places of
usual resort in Florida may hereafter
prove at safe as they were previous
to this present severe visitation of
yellow fever.

Burning the Dead.
Cremation waa proposed io Italy
in 18G6, experimented upon in 1872,
illustrated at Vienna m 1873, and
advocated by Sir Henry Thompson
as a 'desirable substitute for burial
in 1874. One cremation at Breslau
and one at Dresden took . place in
1874, and two at Milan in 1876. It
was shown in 1879 that tie human
body oftn be entirely - ooosumed,
without smoke or effluvia, in about
an honr. In the ten yenrs ending
with 1886" there were 461 cremr
tions at Milan; and at Gotba 473
bodies were burned between Janu
ary 1, 1879, and Ootobr 31, 1887.
