B. Stafford.
We give below the tributes paid to the
memory of the late A. b. Stafford by the
various associations OF our citi-
zens who have felt his loss as
general calamity. Never, we are sure,
has any death thrown over our com.
munity such universal gloom. 1t has
touched every interest OF Cairo; for with
every thing that tended to Its elevation in
business, in education, in literary culture,
in charitable and beniticcnt works, Mr..
Stafford WAS cOnspicuously identified.
yet great deal Of what he did, especial
~ tor the suffering poor, was so done
that his hand was not seen in it, even by
those whom his benetaCtiOns blessed.
The resolutions here published have
appeared in our different issues during
the past week. We gather them together
here because we deem it due 10 the men,
DRY of the generous man who has gone
from Us, that these estimates Of his char
acter and tributes OF afiectionate admir-
ration should be presented at one view,
and because we wish to meet an aston
ishingly large demand which has come
to us from his friends both here and
abroad
The following brief biography OF the
