The First COlored Mans Passport,

Mr.. Robert Purvis, OF Philadelphia father OF
Or. Puryis, of this city, says that he went to
Europe with the first passport ever given TO a
colored man 10y the United States government.
He applied for passport. aud received a scrap
OF paper bearing few hurriedly written lines
signed by Louis McLane, then Secretary OF
State, and addressed to American consuls in
Europe. This brief little official document"
says Mr. Purvis, stated that was a colored
man travelling in Europe and ii closed by ex-
pressing hope that the persons TO whom it was
addressed would assist me If needed il during
my travels. Being a native-bom American citi-
zen, the tone of this note-for il did not have
the slightest resemblance 10 passport-made
me very indignant" Mr. Purvis straightway
handed the note to Mr.. Roberts Eaux, who said
This is infamous; but l know President Jack
son intimately, and L will see that You have q
passport at once" Two or three DAYS later Mr.
Vaux returned with a regular passport signed
by Andrew jackson. President of the United
States. MIR. Vaux said that when he explained
the case and handed him the note President
jackson said: by the Eternal. il can't be pos
sible that an officer Of the United States would
issue thing like this and send natiye-born
citizen to a foreign country with it." nuine
passport was made out at once, and il is still in
Mr.. Purvs' possession.

The Loss Of the TeutOn.

TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY-SIX LIVES LOST.
A telegram to the Union Mail Steamship Com
pany confirms the London Standards account
relative to the loss of the steamer Teuton, that
the boat containing so women and children. of
which it was thought at one time there might
be some hope, was swamped. The steamer
Danube has returned from the search for sur
vivors from the wreck having discovered moth
ING. At the time the steamer struck the
weather was clear. 1t was moonlight night.
but there was a haze along the shore The
striking of the vessel was utterly without warn
ing. After floating the Teuton steamed direct
for SimOn's bay. but her speed gradually slack
ened. The compartment which struck the rocks
remained sound, but that next to the engine
room filled with water, probably through the
starting of plate. Perfect order was MAIN
tanned among the passengers and crew during
their embarkatien in the boats. The sudden
sinking of the vessel was caused by the collapse
OF the bulkhead dividing the Compartments
The Union Mail Steamship Company estimates
the total loss of life by the laundering of the
TeutOn at $50.
