Death Of the Widow of LeOnidas
Polk.

The New Orleans Picayune, of
Sunday morning, thus chronicles the
death of the venerable and beloved
lady who was the honorcd wife Of
Gen. Leonidas Polk:
1t is with profound regret that. we
record the demise yesterday of that
estimable lady, the widow OF the late
Bishop Polk. This sad event took
place at the residence of her son-in-
law. DR.. Joseph Jones, at the corner
of ST. Charles and ST. Andrew streets.
Though not unexpected from the man
ner of her illness. the death of Mrs.
Polk is of more than mere personal
or local importance, though to her
immediate family circle and friends,
her loss is, from her rare qualities o!
hear, and mind, an irreparable blow
To thousands and tens of thousands,
who never saw her, her departure
from our midst will bring recollections
of name cherished and revercd in
the history of the South; aud many
an eye will moisten in sympathy,
when far and wide the men who wore
the gray shall hear that the dearest
friend Of the good and noble Polk has
Joined him in another world. The
: funeral % the deceased will take place
/ Tomorrow at 10 u. IA. from Christ
Church.

Suspension of the Orphans Home.

in the Enterprise Courier, Of Satur-
day:
1t is with profound regret that we
announce the suspension OF the
Orphans Home We ardently hoped
the tact and administrative ability Of
Rev. Mr. Hall would he sufficient 10
carry the Home safely through the
breakers that surrounded it. 1t is Il
sad .retlection-the very saddeSt Of
the hard times that are upon Us. Our
people had grown So poor that appeals
tor charity tell, tha.k God. not to
christening aud lukewarm hearts, but
to empty pockets. 1t is gloomy
picture when 50 noble an institution
as the Olphans' Home must pertorcc

We are convinced, however, that a
better time is dawniGg upon us; and
the day Is yet coming when Mlssis-
sippi will d. her duty TO herself aud
to all the helpless ones dependent
upon her. May God speed the day
"Tbe tact and ability of the Rev
Mr.. Hall" were not sufficient to check
the downfall of an insti; tuition So long

agement. While regretling this
result it does not surprise us.-IickS-

"The chief excellence of the modern
public school system, illustrated more
thoroughly in Nashville than in any
other Southern city, is the manifest
pleasure with which all the pupils,
from the highest to the lowest grades,
perform the duties and participate in
the exercises required of them. And
the Zeal, earnestuesS. and enthusiasm
of The teachers, and the fascination
which their work has for them, are no
