Hon. Mr.. Blackburn, of kentucky, has
consented to deliver the address before the
Southern Historical Society next October.
Governor John c. Browne, offences

Society at the White Sulphur Springs in

General Banning, chairman OF the Mill
tary Committee OF the House, has been ill.,
yited to attend the commencement and eX-
aminations Of the Virginia Military 1nsti-
tute, and will endeavor to do so.
Expenses Of living here seem much lower

only sincere thing the Old wretch uttered
during the whole discussion.

DISSOLUTION OF oCUREMENT
OF STEAM CRUISERS.
LONDON, May lit is stated that Lord
BeaconstieId has resolved on dissolution

made by the Government at various ports

The Paris Exposition.
PARIS, May "details OF the opening

ther OF the King OF Italy and ex-King OF
Spain; Prince Frederic, crown prince Of

gallery occupied by Madame MacMahop.
In opening the ceremonies President Mac
Mabon said: " | desire to join in the sentl-
ment expressed by the Minister OF Com
merce. offer my congratulations upon the
magnificent result achieved and which / am
happy to have the whole world rs witness.
We have also to thank the foreign nations
for so completely responding to the appeal
of France. In the name OF the Republic
declare the exhibition opened" The Mar

the organizer of the exhibition, on the au-
spicious opening of the grand enterprise.

BRITISH FLEET IN THE SEA OF MARMORA-POSI-
TONS OF THE RUSSIANS AND ENGLISH.
CoNsTANTINOPLE, May 1.-The British
fleet which left Ismid for tactical exercise
and artillery practice IN the Sea OF Marmora
will return to the former place in two days.
General Todleben has not succeeded IN
his efforts to arrange simultaneous with
drawal OF the Russian troops and British
fleet from this neighborhood. The Russians,
it is stated, regard war with England as in
evitable. At the Porte also the hopes OF a
pacific solution are weaker.

a LOUISIANA FECD.-The differences be-
tween Wells and Anderson on one side, and
Kellogg and Packard, OF Louisiana, on the
Other, have grown into bitter feud, which
promises to make good deal of trouble for
Mr. Hayes, who, it is claimed, has steadily
sided With Wells and Anderson in the mat
Ter OF appointments. Kellogg charged
squarely in private that one Of the members
Of the Returning Board demanded q large
sum Of money before he would count the
return in 1876 for the Republicans. This
charge was reported to Hayes, who at once
extracted denlals from Wells and Ander-
son. Now they are talking about suing
Kellogg for libel; but they are pretty sure
not 10 do it, as there may be foundation for
the charge.

AN ENDORSEMENT FOR Mrs. HAYES
Washington, April 29.-The annual meet
Ing OF the Women's Christian Temperance
Union was held to-night-WiIliam E.
Dodge in the chair. The secretary's re.
port was read and showed good work done.
Mr. Dodge made an address and stated
that be was much panied at the criticisms
on the wife OF the President few days ago,
and at the action of temperance people in
washington. She had done on the occasion
referred to as she always had, refused to
touch or countenance the wine-cup, and it
oid not help the cause Of temperance, in his
opinion, to assail lady Of such high posi-
lion and weli-known character, and who
mad done so much for the cause OF temper
ance.

Destruction, Of RiverSteamer.

MEMPHIS, MAY 1.-The tow-boat Warner,
from New Orleans to st. Louis, with five
model barges and the trading boat koligan
in tow, exploded her boilers to-day when
opposite the elevator. The pilot-house was
blown to great height and fell back upon
the wreck, while the air was filed with
splinters and fragments. The wreck took
fire instantly, the smoke and steam hiding
the boat from the view Of the crowd which
soon lined the bluffs. 1t. was thought
that all had persisted. The tug-boat De
Sofa and three skiffs were soon at the
wreck, and succeeded in saving the follow
ing persons: John w. Poe, clerk, slightly
bruised; Jacob Cox, pilot, badly bruised
Both were blown into the air and fell back
ON the wreck. Captain George Dawson
was slightly scalded. Napoleon Deviney,
pantryman, was cut in the head and arm,
but not dangerously. John Sullivan, the
second cook, was badly cut in the arm and
scalded. Clara Black, the ohambermald,
was badly bruised. Barney Cassiday, the
mate, was thrown through the roof and
badly hurt. Chris. AnchutZ, the first en-
gineer, was slightly injured; also sundry
others.
Dixon Kennett, the pilot, and William
Radcliffe, the engineer, who were asleep at
the time of the explosion, were lost, and
one fireman was literally blown into frag-
ments. The boat had total crew OF TWEEN
ty-fye, but owing to the confusion, &C.; 1t
is impossible to learn how many were lost.
The wreck sunk very soon, but the IRE,
which had communicated to the barges, was
soon extinguished, and they were toWed
over to the Arkansas shore. The crew, &C..
of the wrecked tug lived in St. Louis. The
explosion was very severe, and shook many
buildings in the city. 1t is thought that the
captain Of the tug is certainly lost.

The Mysterious Russian Steamer at

ELLSWORTH, May 1.-The steamer CHM.
bria lies quietly at her anchor at Southwest
Harbor. There has been little or no COM
munication with the shore, except for the
purchasing OF fresh provisions. The Wea-
Their, however, has been very stormy. Cap
tain Bordenhausen has expressed the opin-
ion that the men are destined for the Pacific
coast to man Russian vessels already on the
Pacific, and that they are waiting here until
it is determined where to land them. Sey-
eral OF the Russian Off GERS have before been
