The deceased was born in Portland, Maine, November 10, 1810, and Fietvatos at Waterville College. at the head of his class. He then became the h of the Latin school at Portland. He traveled through the southera states and among the Creek and Cherokee Indians and wrote letters to different journals, and was one of the first Washington corres- pondents, He was elected to the legislature of aine in 1835, and subsequently went to Europe, whence he corresponded forthe Portland Adver— tiser. In 1846 he established the New York Express, and in 1847 he was elected to the New York legislature. Im 1845 he was elected to Congress, where he remained four years. He was subsequently elected a member of the 31st. 32d, 38tn, 39th, 40th and dist Congresses, and was reciceted to the 42d, as a democrat. Three years ago Mr. Brooks made a tour of the world. Mr. Brooks retained all his faculties until the last moment. THE POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION—CANCER ON THE STOMACH THE CAUSE OF DEATH. Atthe request of Dr. A. Y. P. Garnett, the family of the deceased acquiescing a post- mortem examination was made for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of Mr. Brooks’ death. There were present at the examination Drs. Garnett, J. C. Hall, Drinkard, and Ashford, and two surgical experts from the army medical museum, Drs. Schaffer and Lamb, who per- formed the autopsy. The examination devel- oped the fact that disease was an extended cancer on the posterior portion of the stoma ch, from which the patient has been sutfering prob- ably for the past three years or more. Allthe other organs of the body were found to be ina healthy state, with some slight deviation trom a norma! condition of the system. The resuits miirmed the opinion held by Dr. Garnett as to the nature of the disease. THE BODY has been embalmed, and is to be placed by Mr. k. W. Barker, the undertaker, in one of Stein's patent burial! caskets, of solid’ walnut, covered with fine black broadcloth, with massive silver mouldings around the top and bottom edges and at the joints of each angle.

Two detacned wood panels, covered with black cloth, are fitted to cover the glass top and fastened with silver thumb- screws. Either or both of these-latter panels may be removed at pleasure, thus exposing the inside to view. On the heal panel is a plain silver plate, on which is the plain in “James Brooks, born in Partiand. M 10, IN10 1 octagon to the casket are pl ally designed metal plumes.

A letter from Honolulu, Sandwich Isiands, i—dn the vicinity of Makawao, on East Maul,a succession of heayy stamps and jars awoke everybody about 4 o'clock on the morn- ing of March 3ist, and every one knew that there had been an earthquake. The motion was from east to west, and was felt asa series of violent jars that caused things to rattle lively. There has been a good deal of rainon Hawaii lately, aud Kilauea is,as usual after a storm, quite active. We look for some outbreak on that island before long. Tue Rerortep Sioux Massacwe IN THE Nortuwest.—Information has been received at Toronto, Canada, from a source generally considered reliable, to the effect that some American traders having poisoned two Sioux chiefs—Little Knife and Sitting Bull—at a place called Cypress Hill, in the British terri- tory, by administering strychnine to them in their food, the Sioux fell on the post there and massacred all the Americans in the vicinity. It is also stated that the half-breeds living in the same neighborhaod shared the same fate. but this is contradicted u, another report. Cy- press Hill is about 40 miles from Fort Garry. Lyxca Law in Kentucky—A Colored Boy Honged.—About midnight Tuesday night a crowd gathered around the Mercer county at Harrodsburg, Kentucky, aroused the jailor, and took out a negro boy, carried him & short distance from town, and hanged him. Nearly a year ago he was sentenced toa year's im- prisonment for attempt to commit a rape. The jailer permitted him to go after his cow every evening, and one day last week he made a second attempt on the person of a little colored girl, He was fouud hanging dead yesterday morning. Snockine Data or a MoTHer AND HER Inranr.—The wife of Lewis Heydegger, at Kingston, N.

Her hand, missin, his wife, instituted search, and soon discovered her body, lite being extinct. The infant was found shortly afterward, dead. Hicnway Rorsery.—We learn from the Norfolk Journal that on Monday night last Mr. Jokn Q. A.

Faster inthe churches has become a show, aspectacle which people go to see just as they cid the Black Crook, or a procession on inau- guration day. The pillars ave wreathed with green, the fonts and altars are decorated with white and crimson flowers, emblematic of the passion and the pain, the purity and the re- pone. gl which saved—or tried to save— mankind. But redeeming love expressel through the rapturous and agonizing tones ot the great organs through the bird-like not’s of the three thousand do! cantatrice, or the measured cadences of the ten thousand dollar —— no chance against spring mil- inery or the Jatest stylé of poionaise. Was the suffering and the death seer well expended upon tlie volatile crowd? These gayly tripping young women who are busy sesuning theit neighbor's attire, and these ‘cravatted young men, who fidget and seem so desperately w in their own? Is there anything to save w. mentioning? or anything to kill in them worth the powder? The white and the purple, the heart of flame and the starry crown, mean to Eero fot what they cost at the florists. They in them no hidden lessons, no anguish mace divine by its sacrificial char: acter, obtain from them’ no inspiration to a purer, nobler life; how should they when they are occu} in solving the mysteries of the fashionable Mrs. Turnout’s drapery or ealou- lating the cost of the lace upon her inet? Is there no new dispensation by which people ean be saved from their dolly instead of from its consequences? EASTER FESTIVITIES. Easter gayetics have expeudced themselves yrineipally upon eggs and tlowers. The con- iectioners every year make a greater display of colored SESS, Sud little eggs laid in straw in fancy baskets, tied with colured ribbons; but they also every year increase their prices, until itis no longer possible for modest people to sar- prise Easter morning with these unwonted pro- duetions of the barn-yard. Moreover, the sim- ple colored eggs have lost caste—surpri (ggs, containing more or less costly Easter presents, bave superseded them, and even chil ren have learn to look for something in their des the yolk. plentiful ils I ments have been of the fashionably p k but they subscription readings and music thentricals for charitable purposes, and er things by which men and women borrow the li he devil to serve heaven in, ption, hos the Easte This was a gather: ing of T se-bud garden of Girls,” in fined to but in soi in the past winter and the admirable Crichton: d to meet the It w y, and created great le circles.

It will ti curious to note how many marriages and how any divorces will grow out of this rose-bud party. EASTER OPENINGS. The important openings of the season now ce in April, either at the cl ing of Easter. Displays nery are sometimes made a week or two pre- vious, as there is additional desire to wear new bonnets upon Easter Sunday; but bonnets—or hats, for there is only the ditference of a name between them—are now but 2 secondary con- sideration; the costume is the main thing, ant until this is decided upon it is dificult to select the minor articles. Many of the houses have now three «lis- tinct rooms, only one of which —even on open- ing day—is ‘free to the general public. The second is visited by the Knowing and curious ones, and the thi known Customers and those who are specially invited. The first or large show-room contains what may be termed general styles for in and out-door wear, walk ing-dresses, morning-dresses, suits and cos tumes of average material and quality. The second contains special designs in co=tumes, dinner-dresses, and the like; embroidered dresses, which require to be kept partially cov- ered, and must upon no account be touched; for though “donot handle” is placarded upon every Gress in the public exhibition room, yet almost every woman will touch in spite of the probi tion; and delicate colors and textures suifer in same Fir pete as the nerves of a touchy President after a day's hand-shaking. From the third or inner sanction sanctorum the di light is excluded, and innumerable gas-jet= light up brilliantly, lay figures arrayed in the jest and most utiful evening robes, each ‘one perfect in every detail. Outof the whole collection po two will be found alike; all are distinctly and distinctively different; and when one is sold, no other is modelled precisely upon the same design. The prices of these dresses vary from three hundred and titty to one tho sand dollars, and when one considers the dif! culty of getting up exclusive designs, and the amount of costly lace and gther material u- the cost seems moderate. NEWEST TOILETTES. For the benefit of my readers | will try to re- call some of the treshest of the designs recently exhibited. And first it must be premised that all the newest and prettiest costumes, jackets, , aecercayre and mautles, are trimmed the entire length of the back. Mantles simulate various kinds of hoods, and are ornamented with lace in spirals, rich passementeries, watered ribbon, in loops and ends, and inassive cords, festooned and finished with handsome tassels, Beautilul costumes ot unbleached batiste have broad embroidered nds dewn the back and front of the polonaise, the lower ed, ished with linen lace or fringe. skirt is headed with marrow embroidered ban ‘Three narrow or graduated tlounces are now more fashionable than oné deep one, where polonaise or an upper-skirt is used, and thes. are gathered or side pleated. Very novel morn- ing costumes are composed of foulard and ba- tiste. The foulard is dark blue, spotted with white, and forms a polonaise, which is orna- mented with abroad band of batiste down the back, buttoned ever with immense buttons covered with batiste, but embroidered in the centres with the blue aud eau of the foulard evpleating, headed with an em- batiste niatching the puttous. ‘The cuffs, rolling collar and pockets of the po- lonaise are composed of batiste, ornamented with buttons only. Itis only multiplying words without use to attempt descri ‘i complicated dinner and eveni ‘toilets, 3 ments, which need not deceive any one into the Lelef that the cost is thereby lessened.

The richest lace jackets are composed of insertions of guipure, bordered with guipure, and ornamented profusely with colored rib- Costumes of black grenadine are enriched with guipure lace, and ornamented with bows and sashes of black watered ribbon. A lovel dressing-gown is of tine blue cloth, tri two rows of wide white cluny guipnre, with narrow black velvet thi h the center, down the back, one row down by the top and bottom of the slee: and across the pockets. The bottom of the skirt is plain. The beat is blue leather, gilt-mounted. The latest style of bonnet is the “ Norman- dy.” It has a high black lace crown, «mall, flowing brim of straw or chip, filled in with lace. and an Alsatian bow on the top. A small cur- tain finishes it at the back, which is addition- ally ornamented with lace lappets, fastened 2 with a steel or jet NEW THINGS AND PRETTY THINGS The new Trianon fans are very popular. They are immensely large, and composed of black or tinted silk, upon plain sticks of un- painted wood, the silk painted in flower clus- ters upon the left side. Still finer ones exhibit exquisite Wattean designs upon black or white satin, mounted with ivory oF pearl sticks, and then the cost isdoubled and quadrupled. "New fichus, chemisettes, and collareties abound. ‘The most of them are made in turquoise silk or crrpe de chine edged upon either side with net or lace quilling, but some are shaped like a | double-breasied vest, and have two rows of huge buttons "down the front, in order to additionally simulate that article of at- tire. Instead of inen—for morning and travel- ing wear—striped percale or batiste is used, with | faring cuffs and English collar turned back | over-a double-breasted habit skirt. To mateb hese, there are high, striped, lisle thread stock- ings, worn with walking boots, thick soled and | heeled—English — style—but exceedingly y rambiesand mountain ions.

The new ie are plain, stitched in the shade of the kid, and cut long upon the wrist, where they are fastened with two or more small gilt buttons. Ladies with any pretension= to feshion, will not wear gloves less than three buttoned upon the street, while six is the usual Dumber for evening wear; and i many re- turning from abroad, bring with them gloves fastened with (en buttons, a source of pride al- most as great, as that formerly felt in the length of the train; for every experienced woman knows that the butioned gloves cannet be aoe og outof Paris. An atiempt is arty made to revive black lace mitts, but Uhie country it is a decided failure. American women are fastidious as to their hands, and the; are perfectly aware that nothil eserves their sottness and beauty so well as kid, or so entirely conceals any defects. There is, however,a very nice English lisle-thread glove, which has been much used as a summer travelling and morning gese of late years. Itisa fine as silk, per- rectly made and fitted, and is sewed and finished in every respect likeakid glove, but is mach cooler and more pleasant to wear, especially by those who have warm hands. The price is only a trifle lower than the kid glore. The “walking-stick” rasols have disap- peared.

Blue— a dark shade—and plain, are the leading colors. Mere serviceable are the small umbrellas, m foft silk bog which may be used for sun or rain, have handsome carved wood or shell han- dies, and are popular in all dark colors. More dressy parasols are of black lined with blue, or pink lined with white, with large, deep cano- pies, and lace or heavy fringe orders, and shell or ivory handles, while still more ele; are the parasols of pale pin k or blue or white, covered with lace, and mounted on rich sticks of carved ivory.’ coral, agate, and sandal or camphor wood, the stick alone worth the cost of two ordinary parasols.
