Panic took possession of the passengers;
Five minutes after the collision the main and
mizzen masts fell across two large boats
which were filled with people and ready for
launching. Thu boats were crushed to pieces,
and many of the occupants killed and injured:
In the brief interval between the collision and
sinking of the steamer the crew were able to
launch only a whaleboat and the Captains
gig:
The Loeb Erne went a mile before stopping.
She then got out feur boats to pick up the
people struggling in the water.
The Purser of the Vile du Havre, in his &C
count of the disaster, says:
1.-THE scene was awful, and beyond descrip-
ton. The air was rent with shrieks, but some
were heard saying calmly, Gas we must die,
let us die nobly." The water rushed into the
hold with incredible velocity. 1 undressad
myself, and with a companion, jumped over
board and swan toward the Loeb Erne, then
half a mile distant. AS I left I heard the shir
cracking, and looking back saw her go down
with one plunge forward. For a moment the
shrieks were terrible, then all was silent. II
was the silence of death. The Captain re-
manned on the bridge of the Vile du Havre
during the whole, and went down with the
ship. He was picked up an hour afterward.'

property to the amount of "a sos, lab. Prop
erty amounting to 50, 023, 52S, and 1913 lives,
were lost through casualties by fire alone,
showing the urgent necessity of still greater
precautions being taken to guard against that
destructive element on steam vessels.
q" Notwithstanding the steam marine OF the
country has suffered severely by reason of
casualties 1 am pleased TO state that a con-
stant increase in the tonnage thereof has con-
tinued. Sew 9nty-two new steamers, with an
aggregate tonnage of II. 966, were added to
the several inspection districts during the
year 1872.
''Among these were the iron steamers of
the new American Steamship Line. of PhIa-

ity was 8, 500 tons, freight and measurement.
Her main saloon was fitted up with marble
wainscoting of three varieties, the uphol-
stery was velvet, and the woodwork was

gines were compound direct-acting, of 5000
horsepower, and made in England.

A BEAUTIFUL WoMAN.-The percep-
tive faculty of women is usually keener
than the same chronological organ in
men. Woman knows that beauty rather
than genius is worshipped by the sterner
sex. A man may talk with his lips of
the latter to his lady-love, but the
keenness of the woman knows that he
is thinking of the former in his heart.
All women have an innate desire to
please their 6eaur. They are fond OF
admiration, hence one of their longings
is to be beautiful. The grand secret of
female beauty is health-the secret of
health is the power to eat, digest and
assimilate a proper quantity of whole
some food. Take VINEGAR BIrTERs. 1t
will cleanse the stomach, tone the vital
organs, give a perfect digestion. purify
the blood, clear up the complexion and
produce a state of mental and physical
electricity which gives symmetry OF
form, bright eyes, white skin, glossy
hair and a genuine type of female love-
illness which no cosmetic can compare
with.-[Com.

SANo CoRPoRE.-The influence of the
stomach on the brain should be carefully

Happily, there is no necessity for any long dis
Arrangement of the functions of the stomach,
since in AYER's PILLS we have SO perfect a
combination, admirably adapted for relief.

Half a dozen swings Of dray drivers

in the vicinity. Dry Goods lost his hat
and fed precipitately to the edge Of the
bluffs near the old water tanks, followed

he turned round and was at once col

fed across the bluas toward Monroe
