Ocott, and Communications from MI.
Brown, DR.. Arm and others. The commit
tee, who were appointed at the last meet
ing TO draft resolutions embodying their
ideas, reported the following:
WHEREAS, We consider cremation to be a
method OF dispOsing of the bodies of the
dead far preferable to that Of inhumation,
from sanitary as well as aesthetic and eco
nomical reasons; and wheareas we believe
that very many persons would favor Gre
nation if it were properly presented 60
them and when rendered practicable; there
fore, be it
ReSoipcd, That we form ourselves into an
association for the purpose Of promoting
cremation and securing its practical appli-
cation
ResolUed, That the members of the society
agree to perform this act for any of the
members who may desire to have their
remains disposed Of in this method, but
that this ceremony shall be entirely optional
with all members, and that any person may
JON the society and aid its progress with
out being bound to accept cremation for
himself: and, be it further
ReSotred, That this society shall be found
ed on broad humanitarian basis, without
distinction as to creed. profession or nation
ality.
After brief discussion these resolut ions
were adopted.-New York Herald

The Opera.

To-day at the matinee will be presented
Halevys three act opera, Lies MOusque-
taires de la Refine The evening perform
ance will be signalized by the appearance
of n. Van Huffien in the character of
Marcel. in Meyerbeer's grand opera in five
acts, Les Huguenots." nj. Van Hutfiep,
after retiracy of nearly three years from
the operate stage, has consented to appear
on this occasion at the request of M. Guey-
mard, first tenor from the Paris Grand
Opera, whose benefit takes place tonight.
Though by no means in his repertoire and by
far beneath his great abilities the character
oftSt. ETis will be sustained by NJ Devoyod.
the distinguished baritone from the Grand
Opera OF Paris. Another event of the
evening Will be the appearance of Mile.
GaorIeile Moisset, in the role of Marguerite
recorded so many triumphs. both on ac.
count of her versatility and her rapidly
maturing talent, that we may confidently
look forward to great success for her this
evening. NJ. Lourde, of whom it must be
sald that we see too little, will De the
Nerers of the evening. Nine. Fursch- Nader
will appear as Valentine and Mile. Carini
as the Page. NJ. Gueymard, the benef-
clary. appears as Raoul.
St. Charles Theatre.
Owing, doubtless. to the storm of last
uiSnt lut mouse at the St. ClarIeS was very
light. Miss Lille ElGridge appeared as
Alma in the dramatization from Miss De
La Rama's story of " Granville De Vigne."
Her acting of this character is natural and
effective, and she struggled bravely to
make the play acceptable to the few pres
ent, but the remaining characters in the
piece are much too fine for the st. Charles
company, as at present organized, and the
entertainment can not be recommended as
dramatic delight. Miss Edridge and Mr..
DeBar's company will play at the same
piece again tonight. Tomorrow evening
! Mignon" will be produced for the benefit
OF the star.
Grunewald Hall.
The concert for the benefit of st. Johns |
Episcopal Church, given at this hall last |
night, was nOt so well attended as the en-
deserved, for it was one in |
every way worthy of patronage. Some |
change was made in the published pro-
gramme, and Mr.. Auguste Davis, tenor and |
pianist, and Misses Borremans and Perat |
gave valuable assistance. Mr.. w. E. |
Cooper gave a bass solo, and Mr.. Marks |
Kaiser added greatly to the entertainment |
by the skillful manipulation of his violin.

Southern Mails.

The spring season has been uncommonlv
rainy at the South, and many delays and
disasters have occurred on the railroads.
On the twenty-seventh eff last month many
complaints were made at our postoffice that
the mail from New Orleans of the fifteenth
OF March had not been received until that
day, although due at P. NJ. of the eight
eenth. The delay of eight days seemed in
explicabie and unpardonable, and the New
York office was berated accordingly. Post
master James Immediately wrote to the
superintendent of railway mail service, Mr..
c. Jay French. at Chattanooga. Tennessee.
requesting information as to the cause of
delay.
This morning he received reply. con-
tanning the following explanation: .'The
mails from New Orleans for New York of
the fifteenth ultimo were delayed at Green
vile. Alabama, by break in the Mobile
and Montgomery railroad, caused by heavy
rains. Mails of March Is left New Orleans
al P. NJ. of that date, and were due at
Montgomery at 9 A. NJ. on the sixteenth
but were detained as above stated. The
first train after that date was on the twenty
third, and that only went from Montgomery
sIxty-fve miles south and returned. The
m all of the fifteenth finally left Mont gomery
at 9:5O A. NJ. OF the twenty-fourth, and, it
appears, went through without detention"
The mail arrived at the New York postoffice
at 7:55 z. NJ of March 26. The condition Of
the Alabama railroads is deplorably bad at
best, and the present rainy season Is the
most disastrous that has been experienced
for years.-Neac York Commercial Adrer-

New YORK, April IA meeting of mas

The Wrecked Steamship Europe.
The General Transatlantic Company's
steamship Europe, reported abandoned by
cable, was reckOned one of the best and
safest vessels after the loss of the Vile de
Havre.
She was comparatively a new vessel.
having been br 1t at G asgow, Scotland.
She was heightened last year at Newcastle
On the Tyne, and altered from sidewheel
steamer to a propeller. Her commander
was Captain Leman, an able and ex-
perienced officer, in the employ of the COM
pany for number of years and has always
been considered skillful and careful navi-
gator.
No list of passengers nor manifest of
cargo. supposed to be of usual character
on ships of this line, consisting of wines,
silks, ETC., has yet been received in this
country.
Four hundred passengers and crew were
saved.
AO StCdluSulp EulOUc was WOEIu dUOuL
81, 900, and she was insured in French
companies for about two-thirds of her
value.
The cargo was very valuable. Her agents
think she carried a great quantity of fine
goods for the spring trade, and the value of
her cargo was not less than $l,000,O00; the
greater part of the goods was probably in
sured. 1t lis thought all the papers of the
ship and mails were saved.
= <1,n< <~f k1,4 -
appear that there was sufficient time to
transfer the passengers. The baggage was
probably lost, as it must have been IN the
hold of the vessel.
The loss of the Europe falls heavily upon
the Transatlantic Company at this time,
as they had just completed their arrange
ments to run weekly steamer throughout
the coming season. The Greece, with the
rescued passengers, is expected tonight or
tomorrow.
A Pugilist Shot.
Dooney Harris, we'll known pugilist,
was shot last night--twice in the shoulder
and once in the stOmach-by another rough
during drinking saloon quarrel. Harris,
whose wounds are accounted dangerous,
was taken to the hospital.
Five Mile Boat Race for the Champions

A five mile boat race has been arranged
between William Scharff, of Pittsburg, and
George Brown. Of Halifax, the champion of
the Province. They are to row five miles
in shell boats. two miles and half with a
turn. for $2009 side and the championship
Of America. The race takes place at
Springfield, Massachusetts, in June.
