STEAMBOAT DIE VERNON SUEK.-The
Memphis and Beulah packet, Die Yer
non, Captain Frank Hicks, in rounding
out from Australia landing, forty miles
above the mouth of White river, Sunday
morning, struck snag which tore a
large hole in her hull, causing her to
ship water and sink in thirty minutes
after striking the snag. She rounded out
and landed at wood pile, when it was
found that she was sinking rapidly. A
part Other furniture, safe and piano,
and some of the bedding was saved. She
careened over, and her cabin parted from
the hull and foated down the river. The
hull, with the machinery, sunk in deep
water out of sight. She had on board
twenty-five bales of cotton and some
miscellaneous freight, which was lost.
No lives were lost. The Commercial, in
command of Captain Levy, came along
few hours after the accident, and rem
dered good service Captain Levy
brought up the Die Vernon's officers and
the furniture that was saved The Die
Vernon was valued at $4,000; owned
by Martin Walt, of this city, Captain
Hicks, her commander, Captain Banfl,
first clerk, and John McCuen, of St.
Louis. She was insured in ST. Louis
and Cincinnati Offices for $4,000. Cap
tain Hicks and clerk Banfl filled similar
positions on the ill-fated Henry Won

ways being approved, Il being well known
that they had no interest in the matter
and would not buy anything that was
not needed. But things are changed
now A Board Of Trustees and Pur-
veyor look after the hospital and pur-
chase the supplies. II the Sisters need
a little soap they must apply to them for
it; the same way with anything else, and
there is no appeal from their refusal.
The excuse for this uncivilized conduct
is economy. The hospital has been too
expensive, the Sisters bought too many
delicacies for the poor patients, and the
city cannot stand it. The expenses
must be cut down, even il the patients
die. We call the attention Of the Mayor
and Board Of Aldermen 10 this matter,
and demand in the name Of humanity
that something be done. We are in fa'
vor of retrenchment, but the hospital is
no place to enforce it after the above
style. The poor unfortuuates who have
no home to go to and no friends to take
care Of them, are common property and
should he well looked after when they
are sick, whatever may be the cost Let
them have every luxury necessary, and
no citizen will grumble at the bills. The
people of Memphis are generous. They
spend their money literally for charita.
BILE purposes, pay thousands of dollars
to see Ristori or the opera, and even the
economical officials expended the city
money like water to entertain Congress
sional gentlemen. This being the case
we hope to see our hospital made worthy
of our beautiful city, and not disgrace
to the humanity of our people.

The public mind having become
greatly excited by rumor that the New

had been destroyed by fire on the night
of the 10th, l find it necessary to state to
them that such is not the case The
New Olympic is still in the full tide Of
success, as hundreds can testify who
were there last night, and were highly
delighted at the quaint performance OF
Mr.. Henry Mason, who is quite an &C
complished artist in the Ethiopian pro-
fession, and the thunders of applause
which greeted the appearance of Harry
Blood, the emperor of banjoists, would
have shook the roof off of any building
that had been the slightest injured by
fire. Not even drop of water penetra-
ted the building, The scenery, dresses
and decorations are as fresh as ever, aud

The rumor must have originated in CON
