brother, DIR. EuDoRus EvERrs, aged 80 yeags.
He lived without reproach, and died without a

ted. He protested beliefs crcumscribed by creeds,
but every act of his life was confession Of faith
Christian in its charity, benevolence, and humility
Justice sat enhroned in his moral Organization, and
SO evenly adjusted all his acts, none but his own
conscience saw the balance vihsate. He leaves q
wife behind him, sadly bereaved.
Our heart is light for HIM. but for her, the weight
of many collins presses heavily upon it. Thus it is
one by one the segments drop from that beautiful life
circle into which we have been born, and the ring
closes in around us. Like broken arch our family
begins to crumble Soon the and ivy will shade
its last remains, and the strangers footsteps press
the dust Of what once was a temple Of many columns.
The reflection is a sad one-and yet there is joy
even in its sadness-for we see above us and beyond
a circle broader and more beautiful, in which rev
hands are forever being joined-and an arch span.

The Posi- OFFIcE.-The Washington
Uaiom publishes decision of the P. O..
Department, to the effect that enclosed cir
culars or other printed matter in envelopes
upon which is printed, impressed, or written
the name, &C., of the person or persons
issuing such circular, is decided by the Post
Master General not only to subject the
entire package to letter postage. according
to the express requirements of the act Of
1852, but that such postage must be pre-
paid to entitle the packages to be mailed.
If unpaid, being under the law treated as
letters, they are, of course, returned to the
dead letter Office
The Union also states, at the instance of
the Department, that Postmasters should
make no record or marks upon registered
letters by which the fact of their containing
money or other valuables may be suspected
or made known. 1t has been ascertained
that, in some instances, Postmasters are in
the habit of marking the word registered F."
on the outside of such letters together with
the amount of money enclosed. The prac-
tice is unauthorized and impoltic.

New.Orleans.

The papers of New-Orleans are despond.

prosperity of that city. A general stag.
nation has settled upon the community, and
circumstances seem to have combined against
its future greatness. Its position on the
Mississippi subjects it to an annual overflow
while from the bayous behind it, a miasn
arises which, in the summer and autumn
months, falls upon the city, in the form Of
cholera and fever, with more baneful eff
