ACCOMMODATIONS.

We are much indebted to a correspondent.
Il gentleman of our city for the following
items of steamboat news. The letter was
sent US on Saturday evening.
The gorge in the Mississippi above the
mouth. broke loose at II A. NJ. on the 8,h
inst 1t extended about twenty miles above
the mouth the Sacramento hes on the Hi
nos side of bar abreast of Powers Island
Her starboard guard touches the water, while
the larboard is elevated six feet from the dry
sand. The ice broke her hull and though
the pumps were at once manned, the water
gained so rapidly, the officers were forced to
run her on the bar.
The Archer, frelghted mostly with pork
for Cairo, lies opposite Buffalo Island on the
Missouri side. She is laying upon the ice,
some 3 or 4 feet above water, with s feet
of ice under her. She will be lost Noinsur-
ance. Three hundred barrels of pork got
out on the ice, our correspondent says will be
lost beyond doubt.
The Boston, bound for Cincinnati, lies OPP
posite Able's Tow Head, in Is or 20 feet wa
ter, about miles above the mouth.
Our Cairo correspondents last letter dated
the 9th was carried by to Louisville accident
ally, bat got her on Sunday The news ii
contains is now old, but we give the following
about the Boston and Cairo:
"The steamer Boston in attempting to
break through the gorge of ice in the Missis-
| sippi a lew miles above Cairo, soinjured her
self as to sink to the hurricane roof in twenty
ii Je minutes thereafter. She was freighted
for Pittsburgh with lead, iron, lard &c
She is insured at $40 O00. Messrs Nelson
g. Eads have contracted to wreck her for 80
per cent, and will probably commence opera
lions in a few days.
All is lie and activity at Cairo. The
steamer Robert Campbell, Alhambra, Dr.
Franklin No 2, Nit. Vernon, John Hancock
Neplus Ultra, Commerce, and st. Cloud are
in port receiving and discharging freight and
passengers. The passengers from the steam
ers Iowa, Hndoo Boston, and Archer are al
this point awaiting boats. Cairo is full Of
strangers"

excellent Job Printer from Louisville, and having
the largest and most fashionable assortment OF
types between Louisville and st. Louis, we can
do work in better style than any other office in
his region. and on as reasonable terms:
The Journal Office is now prepared to pin
Steamboat Bills in plain or colored inks, and in
the haDdsomest styles. We have one of the f n
est and largest cuts made in the West, with
smaller ones for large cards, &C. If our work is
not equal to that Of Louisville in beauty anC
neatness. no charge will be made. Steamboat
cards of all sizes and quality executed on reas
enable terms. We respectfully solicit of oul

The VALUE OF PoULTRY-From an inter-
esting statistical article in the Boston. Tran
script we learn that the amount of sales OF
poultry in one market in that city, for the year
1913, was six hundred and seventy-four thou
sand and twenty three dollars. The amount
of poultry sales for the whole city of Boston.
for the same year. was over one million OF dol
lars The amount Of sales of eggs for the
whole city Of Boston, for the same year, was "a
fraction short of million of dollars. 1t is no

What tl,e Anzeiger thinlks.

The Editor of the Evansville Anzieger
German Democratic paper) remarks as be
low on the Democrats attack upon the Ger
man population. Whether he will consider
the publication of the lbels, proper apol-
ogy, with the sweet and loving words in con-
necton we not know-but that IS all the
Democrat gave in yesterdays Extra. The
Anzeiger says:
With not little astonishmenth have we read
the Extra of the Vanderburgh Democrat Of
the 9th inst, and can no longer doubt the de-
parture of that organ from its Democratic
principles. We have expected to see an ed
itorial in the paper which sent this missbegot-
ten birth into the world, recall it, and that il
another Extra, this monster might be annihi-
lated, but as yet we hear of no recall, as an
other Extra to-day says nothing about it
not communicating even one syllable to US.
We are still expecting such an article, a;
we as Democrats cannot disgrace ourselves
longer, by going with him under the same
banner, and must hencelorth refuse to receive
| its articles.

last November, via New Orleans and Pana-
ma, returned home last Saturday. 1t was
from no want of energy, nor as we sup
pose for want of means, that they did not sue
coed in getting to their place of destination,
but they neglected 70 take g Though tick
et' at New Orleans, and on their arrival at
Panama, they found a large number of per-
sons. unable to go on, and many of them des-
titute OF means to get back. Through tick
cts could not there be obtained, and the pros
pect for getting a California bound vessel
speedily, was so poor, that a large number
including those gentlemen, returned. They
are OF the opinion that large portion of the
elephant can be seen between this place and
Panama, and judging from this portion, he
must be huge animal. While we regret
their bad success, we unite in welcoming
them warmly to their old home.

TThe bill exempting homesteads from
execution, providing for the exemption of
$500 worth of real estate from execution.
passed the House on the 9th by vote of SO
to Al. MIR. Greathouse opposed the bill, which
is called the "Poor Mans BILL" and voted
against it. The Journals report thus alludes
to our distinguished representative:
Mr.. Greathouse was perfectly 'mum" on
this question. 1t was dangerous one for
youthful members. He would liked to have
lodged it-even the voting on the bill. But
calls had been made for members to come out
square toed.' and hence he appeared on the
floor. If an exemption was passed he wanted
it bill that would exempt all alike.
