Cremation in Victoria.

A HOVKI, UPKOTACftB

The body r f tl c lute Mrs EHzibeth Irger H< nniker, an fig* d lady of English birth, who resided in Victoria for nearly forty years, whs cremated, with the sanction of tho Chief (?ommi?6ioner of Police, and in the presence or a gathering of relatives and friends, on the afternoon of March 19, in a little seashore bay between Sandringham and Beaumaris. This is the first time that a European has been cremateJ in Victoria, although as recently as last week the " corpse of a Hindoo was reduced to ashes near the Rftma spot, according to the rites of his religion. It was by her own express, wish that the body of Mrs He nniker was disposed of by fire, and the ceremony was ; canied out in a decent, and orderly manner, which minimised as far as possible the natural shock to the feelings of the onlookers, which the novelty of the spectacle excited. The body, which wan enclosed in a kauri pine coffin, was cod veyed in the customary manner from the deceased's late residence at Richmond to the spot selected for cremating it. As the fire gained strength and crept round the coffin, the mourners sang softly the verses <«f the hymn " We shall gather at the river." When the fire died out nothing was left but a little heap of black and smoking ashes Nothing re mained of the corpse or the coffin except the iron handle and the name-plate It seems that Mrs Henniker originally belonged to the Church of England, but some years ago went over to the Unita rians, and drifted thence into the tenets of Spiritualism, which (he continued to hold up to the time of her death A van containing three tons of firewood and a keg of kerosene was sent on in advance, and every thine was ready when the procession arrived at the chosen spot. Ihe c ffin was removed from the h?arae, J and placed on the sea beach at the base of a cliff, Logs were piled round and over it j seme dry brushwood, sprinkled with kerosene, was laid among the logs ; and thf>n the undertaker's men, ha ing finished their ta-k, withdrew. The mourners, carrying wreaths of white flowers stood round <ha pyre, while a Bin of the deceased lady with his own hands api>l'°ed the match.

CHITRAL.

Calcutta, Apri! 8 The enemy, who numbered 5000, remained at the other end of the valley waiting for the British advance. Twelve hundred took up a position on the hills and fired from the sides. The Sikhs clambered up the slopes, and fiercely engaged them, while the guides and cavalry charged and dislodged the main body. The Bedfordshire regi ment repulsed an attack directed upon the stores. The British loss is reported as under twenty-four. A thousand men led by Umra himself were waiting at the A'adend fords in a strong posi tion. Despite a constant fire from the heights the British troops crossed the fords with a brilliant dash, the Bengal Lancers being the first over. Umra fled, pursued by the cavalry for nine miles. Thirteen Sepoys were wounded at the Swat river engagement. Oaiodtta, April 9 Umra Khan has withdrawn a por tion of his force from Ohitral, in order to resist the advance of the British through Swat, and it is believed Mr Robertson may now succeed in forcing a passage to Mastuj.

DISBANDMENT OF MILITIA.

Adelaide, April 9 In disbanding the militia the Go- Tern no en t was influenced by the opinions of the Imperial and local Defence Committees that the only danger in the present state of European armaments to which Australia might be subject would be from flying cruisers insufficiently manned to attempt an. invasion, consequently they considered that the only needful defences were warships and forts.

COMMERCIAL.

London, April 8 The butchers consider the bullocks by the Buteshire were excellent, except that they Were too old, and slightly wasted from the effects of the voyage. They w ere killed afc Smithfield, and the meat is selling at 6fd. The market is unusually good* owing to the scarcity of American meat. Thirty of the Buteshire sheep have been killer?, and are telling at s§d to 6d per lb. They averaged •ixtyfour pounds in weight.

SHOOTING AFFAIR.

Wellington, April 9 A shooting affor occur red at Palkaki riki last night, as a reMiit of which Thomas Edwnrd Mslntosh, a guard employed on the Welllngton-Manawatu uiiiway has been arrested on a charge of attempted murder. Ib appeared th»t Me [ntosh had a drink in a hotel early in the evening with a number of Maoiis, amoig whom was one named Mutu Abraham Mclntosh and Abiaham had words, and the former then went homo. Abraham's story is that he went along to Mclmosh's house, a couple of hours later, to apologise, when the latter fired three shots at him from a revolver, (me Btruck his toe, and another entered hia left should-.r and passed out through his arm, and none of the wounds were veiy serious. The Btory of ihe other side is that, about eleven o'clock at night, the Maori an! another man went to Mclntosh's house and knocked. As soon as JJclntosh ap peared at the door he received a blow over the eye, which knocked him down. He then fetched his revolver and fired it several times in the air to frighten the men away, bat the Maori, on rushing at Mclntosfa, came into the line of fire and acd was wounded. Abraham is the son of a well-known Wainui chief Mclntosb was brought up before the S.M this after noon, and temanded till the 18bh inst.

Two Misers.

The fear that misers have of leaving the money which can be of no use to them behind when they die is very strange. An old miser, who lived in Gonnaaght, was so mean that he denied himself bread, and only kept his miser able life in its tenement by gifts of food from charitable neighbors. But he wts known to have plenty of money hidden away in his wretched shanty, and his neighbors got tired at last of giving to one so entirely unworthy. For some days no one went near the Old man, and the cabin stood desolate. No one was seen to go in or out, and at last the constable determined to take the obstinate old creature to gaol, The The door was broken open and the old miser was found dead. *n his wretchedly starved condition, and frantic at the thought of leaving his loved money behind him, he had tried to "swallow some of his own banknotes. The other miser displayed an equal amount of cunning, yet was over reached as completely. This second old miser was blind, and lived with a half-witted son near the sea. Together they managed to do a little work which supported them. But everybody knew the old man had a "bag of money" stowed away, on which he could have lived without work if he wished. What to do with this bag of money troubled the old man greatly. He was growing feeble, and felt he had not long to live.' He resolved to take the bag out wfti drop it into the sea, where no one but the fishes would ever have a chance to benefit by it. The old man, with the money hidden under his coat asked the son to row him out to sea. So they started, but the son took good care to keep only in the ghajlow water. " Are we far out now f asked the old man. " Oh, yes, father," answered the boy. So the old blind miser, with a sly smile, dropped his bag of money overboard, and the son, reaching out his hand, had nothing to do but to lift it out of the shallow water and carry it borne under his coat. And the old miser died peace-, fully in his bed, content that his artful scheme had, been such, a success.

TIMOTHY. ■ I AM A BUYKH OP FIRST-CLASS SAMPLES. -'W F. FERRIMAN. t H FOB hALE ■ OTRONG SHEEP NETTING, WITH CENTRE STRAND. H F. FERRIMAN fl The Portable Water Barrow. I The latest number of the Nineteenth Century has an interesting article fl upon the dread scourge of DIPHTHERIA, and, in introducing the subject, the ■ writer remarks, that the latest epidemics in Russia swept away nearly all the ■ children in some village!; and, in Prussia, no less than one sixth to one-fourth ■ part of all children dying in the age of from one to five years succumbed to H Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed in Westprn Europe as well. H Keen interest is being taken in the expetiments of the French Doctors, Koux ■ and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera,Typhoid,Malaria and other -B kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused H by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally into and B upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by H Bacteria or the poison* which they secrete, there is nodiphtheria. Thb Portablb ■ Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable in the direction of perfect ■ sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is deiived. The fever JB and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what U otherwise a tourca ,^S of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to the pig trough J^^k or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to various kinds ~*>'~^™ use, and they are so admirably constructed that, with them, a child can do H work which otherwise 7 requires the strength of mature years.
