exposition, making powerful impression
upon the vast audience, who listened with
solemn attention. The evening sermon
was by DR.. Hargrove, on the Possibility
and danger of apostacy," delivered in
most mastery aigumentative style.
There were number CT seekers Of reli-
gion at the altar on Saturday and Sunday
evenings, and a very deep religious feeling
prevailed. The people were orderly and
well behaved, no disturbance whatever
occurring, and all the people taking great
interest in all that promotes the success of
the meeting, or the comfort of attendants.
They supply the wants of those gathering
there just as none but the people of Rob-
ertsOn county can do, as ii ey sre all out Of
debt and have large surplussge, and then
they are by habit and nature most hospi-
table people.
The train which left this city Sunday
morning was managed with great care, and
returned punctuslly on time. It is always
pleasant to travel with the officers having
the charge of trains on this road, and their
attentions are acknowledged by all.

THE CRISIS IN FRANCE.

PARIS, Aug. 81 Political circles are
again in a fever of excitement over the
policy to be adopted by the Assembly
with regard to the present executive.
New complications have arisen, and there
is row a serious dispute between Presi-
dent Theirs and the committee on the
proloDgation of executive powers, which
has brought the matters under considera-
ton to a sudden termination. There are
fresh rumors in the city to-day which
state that Theirs will positively submit
his resignation to the Assembly to-mor-
row.
Paris, Aug. T.-Night-The negotia-
lions of the party of the Right with Gen.
Chargarnier, which have been carried on
for several days past with view to his
appointment as successor to President
Thlers, have terminated unsuccessfully,
Gen. Chsngarnier positively refusing the
use of his name in connection with the
Presidency.
Miduight-The speedy termination OF
Theirs term of office as chief executive
is considered in official circles as a fore
gone conclusion.
1t is now the general belief that should
Theirs persist in his determination to re-
sign, majority of the Assembly will
agree upon Gen. Chauzy as his successor,
and the iatter will be made President of
the republic with executive powers similar
TO those proposed for Theirs.

ANOTHER OILER Blu fCHERl
A Steamer EXplOdes in Mobile
Bay
With 200 Excusionists Aboard.
Some 5Oor go Killed or Grip
pied.

MOBILE, Aug. 26.-The low pressHre
steamer Ocean Wave exploded her boiler
at o'clock Sunday 'tsrnoon at the wharf
at Point Clear. There were about 200
excursiOnists on board. 80 to go of whom
were killed and wounded. A portion of
the bodies were brought to this city by
the steamers Fountain and Annie last
night. The others will be brought here
to-day. Efforts are being made for the
recovery of the bodies of the drowned.
The cause of the disaster has not been
ascertained, and eli investigation will be
made. Out of seven persons comprising
one Creole family, six were killed. The
captain, engineer and pilot were killed.
Oaly three officers escaped.
Later Details.
MOBILE, Aug. % The steamer Ocean
Wave left the city on Sunday morning
with about two hundred persons on board
for an excursion to Fish River. About
twenty miles from the city on the return
trip, the boat reached Point Clear at five
in the evening and made fast. The band
and part of the passengers went ashore
and after the lapse of half an hour the
whistle was blown and all returned to
the boat.
The feeling is intense. The boat has
been for some time considered an unsafe
boat and has always been unlucky. The
appearance of the boiler indicated that it
had yielded through ro!tenness, as it had
been torn apart in long seam. Had it
exploded with greater violence the de-
struction of life would have been gene
raj. The force of the explosion was di-
rected upward and forward.

that the coming Congress of anti Iufal-

The Doliinger Catholics, though placing

itiatory war steps will be taken. There is
nothing expected from Bavaria, although
the action of the government of that
country in refusing to sustain the ecclesi"

who though communicated Continued
to exercise his functions is regarded as
hopeful sign. The governments viii
sooner OF later have TO decide upon the
demand which is proposed to be made by
the snti-infalliblists for acknowledgment
they are Catholics, are the Church and

has now full charge.
