DIED


PERKINS On the evening OF the 5th inst.
At his residence, corner Walker avenue anC
Heragndo road, Col. J. perkins,, aged % years
His funeral will take place to-day At 3 pm.
HANEY-Died, in this city, at the residence
OF Mr. Charles Jones, on Court street, on sun
DAY, zsth september, 1857, JOEN HASEY, aged
about u years.
In the death OF this excellent Han, Memphis
has lost one other Oldest and most estimable cit
izenz He was "a native OF Virginia, and emf
grated to this city as early as 1895. He was
identified for many years with the commerce.
OF our city, first with Capt Fritz OF tie old
steamer Memphis; afterwards successfully
a hrst clerk on the AIsck Scott, the Au-
tOcrat, the Hill. aud perhaps others
Of our nrst class river steamers. de
was for mauy years clerk in the Union
Bank; but for the last ten or fifteen years was
confidential book-keeper and ONCE manager
for Mr.. Charles Jones, in his large and ramined
building and other industrial operations. The
immediate cause Of his death was enlargement
Of the liver.
In all the business and social relations o. life,
Mr. AM was a model man. Of peach
able integrity, he combined in his busfness
transactions the highest honor, the most
perfect fairness OF dealing, with the
WNt Nsa NAS@-A1y Va m3NhG anu
disposition. We doubt II a single hu-
man being was ever even RI fled with hin
on account OF any business transaction. In
the private circles and relations OF life. he was
modest, amisble, and thoroughly well-bred.
He was, IN its highest sense, a gentleman.
It cannot be otherwise than gratifying TO his
distant relatives and friends to know that his
last moments were soOthed by all the atten-
lions that the most tender ana aGecdonate
friendship could bestow, in the excellent fam
lily in which he was for so many wears dones-
tieatsJ. 1t must, TOO, be to them a consolation
to learn that ne is universally mOurned by al
our Old citizens, as one Of the very best Of their
number. Would that In the future we might
hope to see the gaps made by death filed with
such men! They are rare In any age or in any
community. Peace to his memory

THE EPIDEMIC IN NEW ORLEANS.

THE EPIDEMIC IN NEW ORLEANS.
The New Orleans PcGgUae furnishes
the following mOrtuary statistics for th'
week ending the Ist inst. There are slsC
some important facts touching the pro.
gress Of the disease from It's first appear.
snce:
MORTUARy THE PAST WEEK.-The
total number Of interments reported by
the sections OF the various cemeteries fol
the week ending Sunday WAS 1872, oi
which 4S9 died from yellow fever, SO
from other fsYers, and 100 from various
diseases.
The first case Of yellow fever reported
as fatal this season was during the week
ending July It'll. There was only one
case that week. Tire figures since then
up TO the present, show that the disease
bss been steadily on the increase, and
has extended throughout the length snd
breadth Of the city, carrying mourning
20 hundreds and hundreds Of households.
The increase Of the week just past is
seveuty-One over that Of the week pre-
vious.
The total number Of deaths from yell
low fever since its first appesrance this
season mp TO Sunday, has been l776.
The figures sUll show that the IGeiOr-
i-y Of deaths are among foreigners Cr IN
aeclimated persons; and, also, that the
disease is more fatsl among the males
than the females. This last fact is won
dered at by many. We think the cause
Of this is that the ~avOcstions Of the men
force them to more exposure, besides
their habits are not 50 regular or tenn
perste as these Of the female population.

The following is from & correspondent
Of one Of the Northern papers:
~ Ditto, in a late article, holds that
Mexico obtained q great victory when Il
shot Maximiiiau that his death was the
exposition Of three hundred years OF
struggles, sutferings and miseries imposed
upon the people Of the country by smbi-
uOus Europeans; that daylight, after a
long, long night, broke 80 Qaeretaro
when Macmillan died, and that Maxi

The Indian uSurper and Dictator Of
Mexico, JUAREz, was perhaps influenced
by these savage sentiments when be
signed the death warrant Of AIAxnuL.

One Of the wealthy men Of New Or
leans, the late Mr.. MeDonough, had en-.
ETsVed upon his tomb 4 series OF maxim,
lich he says he adopted for the guild
ance OF his lie, in 1904, and TO which he
attributes his success in business. He
makes them public for the benefit Of all
who desire to become rich. and they are
worth reproduction here: Rules fol
guidance Of my life, lSO4-Rsmember
always that labor is one of the
conditions OF our existence. Time
IS gold throw not one minute
away, but place each u to account.
Do unto all men as you would be done
by. Never put OF till tomorrow what
YOU can do to-day. Never bid another
% WHIST you g do yourself. Never
covet what is not your own. Never
think any matter so trihing as not to de-
serve notice. Never give out that which
does not first come IA. Never spend but
to produce. Let the greatest order regu-
late the transactions Of your life. Study
10 your course of life TO do the greatest
amount OF good. Deprive your
self Of nothing necessary to your
comfort, but live ia an honor
able simplicity. Labor, then, to
the last moment Of your existence, Pur-
sue strictly the above rules, and the Di-
vine blessings and riches of every kind
viii flow upon you to your hearts con-
tent; but first Of all, remember that the
chief and great duty Of your life should
be to tend, by al means ia your power,
70 the honor and glory Of our Divine
Creator. The conclusion to which Ihave
arrived is, that without teuzperancethere
is no health; without religion no hsppi-

MEMPHIS AND ONO RAILRoAD.

We have not felt inclined 10 discuss
the propristy Of the action OF the Presi-
dent and Directors Of the Memphis and
Ohio Railroad, because the reasons for
the agreement with the Louisville and
Nashville railroad were co clearly and
satisfactorily set forth by President
WOODRUFF in the communication which
We published a few days since. We
have regarded the Lessee to the Nashville
and Louisville Railroad as the best the
Directors could do with the road, and At
the same time meet its obligations. II
there are other parties who viii furnish
the means to take up these obligations,
let them have and manage the road.
But there being none who wilt, let the
present Directory continue in charge Of
the road.
It is with pleasure that we have wit
messed the action taken by the City Coun-
Gil authorizing their representatives to
cast their votes for the reelection Of the
WOODRUFF Directory. We think it not
only an sct Of justice, but q measure cal
culated 10 prevent the road falling into
the hands Of parties iu whose manage
meut the general public is wanting il
that confidence reposed ia the present

The special services ia connection with
the synod commenced on Saturday az
sernOon, the 18th Of September, ia the
church Of st. Lawrence Jewry, Guild
hall, one OF the largest and handsomest
churches in the city Of London. The
bishop Of London was first advertised TO
preach the opening sermon, but In con-
sequence or bis indispositi0n the duty
deEolyed upon the Right Reverend DR..
l.. Polk, bishop Of Louisiana. -Four
O'Clock was the hour appointed for the
service, and at the hour the church was
crowded. The congregation is said 70
have been the largest ever assembled on
e week day in the city, except on some
national special service at st. Paul's ca
thedral. At the sound OF the organ q
procession emerged from the northwest
corner Of the church, and moved slowly
down the aisle, about sixty ehOristers IN
/ surDlfces singing the professional hymn
1.-THE Son Of God goes forth 10 war;
The lord bishop of Louisiana, United
States, followed. attended Ky about thirty
elerRymen in their robes.
The above paragraph is q part Of The
compiled English news which appears in
the New York papers. Il il difficult 70
account for 30 singular an error. The
RI. Rev. LEoNIDAs POLK, who wa.
Bishop Of Louisiana, 1t. General in the
Confederate army, was killed at Pine
Mountain, Georgia, in 1868 by 3 cannon
ball from a Federal battery. The &C
count Of the services st the church Of st.
Lawrence is a ~slngularIy awkward effort
probably 10 describe the fact that the
Diocesan successor Of the lamented and
ilustrious Polk performed duties first
assigned to the Bishop Of London. There
were perhaps on funeral hOnoFs paid
to the great soldier and Priest on this &C.
casion, As would have been most appTo-
priste and well deserved. Ia this way
the ideas Of the reporter became
mLred, and he represented our
pure minded and venerated Southern
Bishop as having risen from his sacred
resting place and ministered at the altar
in the presence Of the assembled Angli-
can prelates Of the world.
Would to God that CREST aud coed man
mad not been cut OF in the meridian OF
his life and fame, and that this news
could be credited on this side Of the Al
Iantic! Would that the great Bishop
were truly a member Of the couvocatiOn
now assembled at Lambeth, where bis
piety, devotion and eloquence could be
made to minister to just aud righteous
principles! But no! Let Us not disturb
the holy ashes Of the i!ustrious dead.
Let them rest IN the peace Of q blessed
immortality, where he cannot witness

miseries and misfoTtunes Of his country

festati0ns from the p0pulace, as the re-
cult OF cholera epidemic. The following
paragraph explains how the ignorant are
affected by it:
Popular tumDlts, attended by the most
atrocious acts Of -blo0dshed, continue TO
take place in those parts Of the southern
provinces visited by cholera. Tne poBu-
lace ia every case appear % have been
excited by their belief that the cholera
was propsgsted among them by the
authorities or other persons, who either
poisoned their wells or had some means
Of injecting the air with the deadly emf
dernic. Some journals, however, attrib-
ute the s~aDgutnary eKcesses that have
hsen committed 10 Bourbon and clerical
intrfguers, who Lave sought to make the
endemic q means Of disseminating
hatred against the government, and ex-
citing rebellion
A similar delusion existed, during The
visitation Of cholera, last year, to our
city, among the negro population. They
believed that their food was poisoned at
