Sanborn The many beautiful homes scattered over our country are evidences of a very high order of refinement and of the thoughtful care and trenerons provision made by our people for the comfort and happiness of the living. "While we are admitted to be in ad vance of all others in scientific re search, and eveything pertaining to the interest of the hvuig we are yet very far behind other nations, and es pecially the ancients, in nrovidinir suitable receptacles for the repose of. tne oouy atter deatn. Tins is not owing to our indifference, for no peo ple have greater respect for or vener ation for the dead, and none have made a more liberal provision for their repose; but anything m con nection with this subject has been considered disagreeable, and in con sequence of this we have shrunk from a consideration of this subject until forced to provide a receptacle or rest ing place for a departed loved one. The preserved bodies of the an cients taken from the catacombs of their buried cities, are now exhibited m our museums, as evidence of the care, skill and reverence felt bv them for their dead. The modern funeral director is far in advance qf his anrient brqther, he is generally refined, competent and well-skilled in the art of embalming, and injall details of his profession, but he has had nothing in the past to offer his bereaved patrons for the money they so freely lavish on costly funeral pageants, and profusely decorated wood or iron burial cases, which are covered witli costly satins, velvets and plushes, and ornamented with gold una snver trimmings tnat are borne by loving friends to beautifully adorned cemeteries, where thev are placed in marble vaults or lowered in me ground noneatlj pqstly niqnuments, case as on ordinary tached to the wood caskets. The universal adoption of these cas kets should be encouraged and looked upon with favor by the pulpit, the press and all classes, for in preserving the body by arresting decomposition, they fill all the Christian and sanitary requirements, besides appealing to the most refined ideas in rp.rmrcl t ,. own or me nnai resting place of our loved ones, in that they bring within the reach of all classes, a miniature yunumu ciuu imperisnauie vault and burial casket combined, that will guard their sacred dust for all time.

The O. R. & N. Co. intend meeting the wheat rate of 84.70 per ton from Pendleton, to Taooma, which is now operative on tne Nortnern Pacific railroad. The O. R. & N. Co. will, for the same rate, transport all wheat shipped from Pendleton over its lines to Portland, load it on one of its bar ges, ship it via ocean to Taeoma and reload it aboard any vessel desiring freight to Europe that may be await ing a cargo in the harbor of Taeoma. This active competition it is thought will result in the building in the near future of the Union Pacific rail road direct to Taeoma. Taeoma Led ger, 2G. Trj- IIy French Nougat X.J. Bergman.

All, in fact, is done which love and solicitude can suggest; but in our ueipiessness we are compelled to nn- ceptthe only burial reoeptaple the undertaker has heretofore been able to provide, The peculiar relation ho sustains to his bereaved patrons makes his recommendation of any thing in this line appear indelicate. For these reasons the public has been left in ignorance of the merits of our caskets, and they are compelled from sheer necessity to purchase the com mon wood or iron one, in which to place the sacred remains of the loved one. These facts have awakened much in- . .! ui iuic, umu ai;umuiu sqeieties. the press as well as the public, are at present earnestly considering this question, from, not only a sanitary, uulh uuuiuu sentiment. We instinctively shrink from the thought of having the remains of Iqved ones, consecrated by the tears of be reaved friends, placed th6SG com mon woqd qr iron repeptaoles, which will so soon decay, admitting the loathsome objects which infest the grave. These things, regarded either from a Christian or sanitary stand point, have created a demand fnr something better; -something that can be furnished at a price that can be placed within the reaph. of tlie rich and the poor altye; -.something that is not susceptible to the iufiuen1 cesof the acids of decomposition or the alkali of the earth; something in fact, which will preserve and pro tect the remains of our loved anas, and admit qf their disinterment, with out, at any time, shocking the sensibil ities of the living, Many attempts have been niacin in construct burial oases from metal and otner suostances, but they have al ways been found very defective in that they retain the fluids of the hu man body, and soon corrode and de cay, permitting the escape of noxious gases to pollute the atmosphere and endanger the health of the living. Some, in their despair, advocate the return to the aucient practice of cre mation, but this to the Christian world seems unsatisfactory, if not re volting. Many eminent prelates, scientists, and others, at a meeting lately held in the city of Buffalo, advocated tlie mtombment of oiir dead in imnprisl.. able cement, and tins has awalrpimi the thoughtful consideration and tlia inventive crenius of our neonlp. wliinh has resulted in the plan proposed by these gentlemen, beincr adopted, and a casket embodying these, as well as omer important principles, is now be ing manufactured, from a. material known as artificial marhle that is made from imported cement. The method of manufacturing these caskets is as follews: First, a galvanized woven wire steel frame, which is strong enough in its self to cam- a large body. This is formed over a core composition oement is then nwlnto the mold, leaving the wire frame in the center of the wall of the casket, binding all the parts and giving it great strength and symmetry without the clumsy unwieldmess of the an cient Egyptian receptacles. A groove is cast in the upper edge or flanges of the body, which, curving outwardlv. forms a bell-shaped flange. i1 or sealing the top to the body per manently, prepared cement is run into tne grooves. For temporary sealing u rouna ruoper tuDing is used. The casket being jointless, makes it, when properly sealed, absolutely air-tight, thus arresting the decomposition of the body and preventing the escape of noxious gases, and admitting of their storage in vaults or their disinterment or transshipment to any part qf the world. It also effectually overpqm'es the sanitary and other ' gtqeo'Uonable features of tb, old. style caskets now in, use, and at the same time guarding the bodies of our loved ones from grave-ghouls or robbers. They are strong, light, beautiful in design, and constitute within them selves miniature vaults. They are fin ished in broad-cloth, plush and satins, all the latest designs, and are furnished at a price which brincrs them with in the reach of the rich and poor alike.
