MEMPHIS, Tenn May l. - At
9:20 this morning the tow boat
Warner, from New Orleans to st.
Louis exploded her boilers when
opposite this city. The pilot houss
and roof were blown TO great
height and fell back upon the
wreck, while the air was filled with
splinters and fragments. The wreck
took fire instantly, and smoke and
steam hid the boat from crowd
which soon lined the bluffs. II was
thought that all on board had per-
ished. The Tug De Soto and two
or three skiffs were soon at the
wreck and succeeded in saving
several people. The second engi-
neer and some Others who were
asleep at the time and the fireman
were literally blown to pieces. The
boat had total crew of 25, but ow-
ing to the confusion, it is impossi-
BILE to tell exactly how many were
lost. In five minutes after the eX-
plosion all except the roof of the
wreck had sunk out of sight. A
toy OF barges was fired, but the
tug eXtingulshed the fire and land
ed them on the Arkansas shore.

Tae Paris Exposition Opened.
PARIS, May 1.-The Internation-
al Exhibition of 1878 was opened
to-day with great eclat, the pro-
gramme heretofore made public
being practically carried out. Pres
ident MacMahon reached the eX.
hibition at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, in the state carriage,
escorted by his military household.
He was welcomed by Teisserene De
Bort, Minister of Commerce, and
declared the exhibition open amid
salves OF artillery and mu-
sic by the band. The Mar
shall then, at the head of
brilliant procession, which included
the Prince of Wales, ex.King AM
adeus and the Crown Princes of
Denmark and the Netherlands, pro.
ceeded through the exhibition
buildings. The scene was pictur-
esque and imposing in the extreme.
State bodies in grand uniform,
counsellors and magistrates in their
robes, and the different bodies of
the Institute and the Legion of
Honor stood in strong contrast
with Senators, Deputies, Clergy
and other officers in their
civil costumes. The Exhibition
buildings were gai!y decorated
with the flags of all nations and an
immense crowd was congregated in
the svicinity. The American Sec
ton, though unfinished, compares
favorably with the others. The de-
partment OF manufactures shows
the least progress. The American
art department is the best ever
shown abroad by America.
