| M. M. Noah died in New York last week. Mr..
Noah has occufaed distinguished position as an
editor. He was of Jewish extraction, and, if we
mistake not, native of Charleston. At an early
age he went abroad, and on his return published
two volumes of travels, favorably noticed in the
reviews of that day. He became connected with
the newspaper press about the time of the war
with England, having been selected by the demo-
Gratis to conduct the leading paper of that party in
the city of New York. He afterwards established
the New York Courier and Enquirer. This paper
changed its political affinities on the bank ques-
ton. Mr.. Noah withdrew from it and established
the Star. A few years since he commenced the
Times, with which paperhe was connected at his
death. He supported Taylor, and al the time of
his death belonged to the Independents. Mr.. Noah
was one Of the most accomplished scholars con-
nected with the American press His style was
extremely graceful, and within our recollection
marked by much bonhonsmie. Like Chandler, of
the North American, he delighted to notice the
little incidents of daily life, drawing from them
interesting side. Many of his simple sketches pos
sessed all the pathos and beauty of Irving.
About 1910 he was appointed Judge of the Court
of General Sessions, having criminal jurisdiction
in the city. This Office he held several years, and
while on the Bench, Bennett of the Herald was
convicted of publishing libel on the Court
After conviction he wrote a letter appealing to the
clemency Of the Court. Noah, with great gener-
osiiy, inflicted a fine and dispensed with the i'm.
prisonment.
He lived to a good old age, in him rendered
agreeable by the softenng of the passions. We
had nearly forgotten that episode in his life when
he assumed the character of legislator and at
tempted to enact the part of second Moses.
He purchased large island in Lake Erie which
he consecrated with much religious pomp as the
spot where the Jews to assemble prior to their
return to Jerusalem. 1t proved signal failure,
and what was intended as high tragedy, degen-
Grated into broad farce.
At one time he filled conspicuous place in the
public mind but of late he belonged to class of
men now obsolete, and his influence was in a great
measure gone. But he will be missed in the circle
composed of the intellectual men of NewYork

| WHAT HAS BEEN AvEDe"-Under this cap
| ton, the New York Herald enumerates the various
amounts saved to the Government by the want Of
time to perfect the laws The failure of the Bill
for the Relief of the Insane, is saving of $l2,-
SOC, 900 in public lands. Another SIC, 900 900 is
saved by the defeat of the bills giving the alternate
sections to railroads. Then the defeat of fhe steam
mail projects is another saving of s., 900 900
This economy meets the appreciation of the Herald.
The first item was a mere matter of humanity.
We do not claim that any profit is to be derived
from such an appropriation, and we abandon il TO
the economists The second, however, is by no
means gift. The establishment of railroad en-
hances the value of the lands for miles. The Gov
eminent, where it cedes section of land, sells
ten IL is a. mere matter of trade, by which
both parties are benefited. So, too, with the
mail steamers. 1t is a cheap mode of increasing
and maintaining an efficient steam Navy, ready al
any moment to be converted into armed fleets
But the Herald lamen,s over the defeat OF the APP
preparation for the relief of the Collins line! 1t
| is all judicous economy when the West is deprived
| of its appropriations for Internal Improvements
when the Insane are left destitute-when the Steam
Navy is left TO struggle for itself; but when New
York interest is affected, then comes in the old
story of " if and it, said the lawyer
| The River and Harbor Bill was defeated by the
action of Soule and Davis. Immediately after
this, Mr.. Hamln, of Maine, carries through
large appropriation for the Northern Light houses.

unfavorahle, and portend disaster. The breaks on
the river line. in Carroll Parish, will again s,oamp
our many friends on the Bayou Macon, Tensas and
Black Rivers. There is little time now, under the
most favorable change, for the waters to pass of
from large portion of these extremely fertile cot
ton lands.
AT Point Coupee the danger is imminent; and if
the most unremitting exertions can enable the plan
tsrs on the upper line Of that Parish to escape with
partial loss, they will be thankful.
Al nearly all points below Upper Point Coupee,
where danger is apprehended, the most laborious
efforts are being made to strengthen the levees.
This is indeed critical time for large portion of
the most valuable plantations in the lower sweep
of the Mississippi.

SEEING THE ELEPHANT.-By public direction,
the gamblers implements seized by the marshal OF
Boston, on the night of the 9Th, were exhibited in
the City Hail on the Monday following. Such
was the desire to see them that arrangements were
observed by which visitors had to enter at one and
pass out by the other side Of the Hall. The ar
rangemens must have been judicious, as the Bos-
ton Journal of Monday evening the 10Th, informs
Us that it had been ascertaiIed by actual couat,
that between 81 in the morning, and in the after
noon, more than $4,000 persons had gratifed their
curiosity by attending this free exhibition. The
implements were to remain On exhibition in the
evening, for the accommodation of such ladies as
might desire to see them. The ladies of Boston,
henceforth more than ever, will think that theirs
is The City of Notions,'

The Health of New Orleans.

The report of the Board of Health is a curious
and interesting document. 1t is drawn up by Drs
Barton, Hort, (not Hart as we were made to say
yesterday and Ker, gentlemen who have paid
much attention to the subject of the health
police Of the city They assert that there are no
natural causes for unusual degree of disease,
and that very much Of the mortality is owing to
causes easily removable. The introduction into
the heart of tho city of thousands of emigrants,
causes vast amount of disease. The number Of
Americans, chiefly residents of the Valley, who
annually visit New Orleans has been ascertained
to be some $4,000. These constitute the floating
population. and they contribute largely to the
mortality.
The Committee urge the importance of a more
abundant supply OF water through the city, so that
the sewers may be continually filled with running
water. The canals, too are neglected They
should be kept in motion by the machinery now
attached to them. The Health Wardens should
perform their examinations of enclosures thoroughly
and frequently. The Scavengers should be forced
to fulfil their contracts, and remove decayng mat
ter promptly. The sewerage of the city should be
improved. All foreign vessels should be stopped
below the city, until the passengers in suita-
BILE condition to mngle safely with the people,
These are few Of the reforms proposed. They
deserve the attention oil our city authorities. Re-
move the causes which create the local, not for
egn, yellow fever, and you double the value of life
and property Of the city. A fearful responsibility
rests on those entrusted with the management of
the police of the city. The Board of Health GER
tanly neglect duties entrusted to them but
their power is too limited.
We commend this able paper to all of our read
ers. In fact it ought to be distributed through the
cities of New Orleans and Lafayette.

ROBERT NORRIS, THE CoLoRED LAWYER
Commissioner Hallet has given his opinion Of the
guilt of Morris in connection with the late Boston
outrage, at great length. He shows that the efforts
of Morris, by his counsel, to prove that his
Citations with Shadrach and the mob was that of a
legal adviser, wholly untenabe, and positively
contradictei by the evidence Of many witnesses.
He holds Morris guilty than the others, as he
knew better the enormity of the offence. He,
therefore, put him under bonds of $1,000, which
