A FEARFUL catastrophe occurred in
Galveston at 7:3O o'clock on the morn
ing of the Sd inst. One of the boilers
in the fremont Hotel exploded, in
stantly killing four persons, wound
ing several others and doing great
damage 10 the hotel The conclusion
from the explosion was appalling, and
to those living in the immediate neigh
borhood of the hotel the shock was
very perceptible, shaking houses for
several squares around and shattering
windows generally. Various theories
are advanced as to the cause of the
explosion, some going so far as to CEN
sure the engineer; but Capt. Hirsch
berger, Inspector of boilers at Calves
ton, gave as his opinion of the explo-
sion, overpressure and not lack of
vigilance on the part of the deceased
engineer, the boiler being manufac-
featured of al inferior quality of iron.
The fremont House is a large five
story brick structure with $50 feet
frontage on fremont street and about
the same depth on Church street. The
boiler-house was situated at the north
west corner of the building, and was
small one-story brick structure at
tached to. the main building. The
explosion shook the great building
with such a force that the guests
thought tremendous earthquake had
occurred, and ran panic-stricken about
the hall ways.

The Confederate Bazaar, recently
held at Baltimore, and which ran for
seven days and nights, realized nearly
$4,000. The receipts were largely
in excess of the anticipations of the
most sanguine. A number of the
tables received money donations as
mnch in some single instances as $500.

We have met many of our farmer
friends during the past week who were
in town attending Court, and all join
in saying that the prospects for good
crops are very fattering so far With
continuance of the present favorable
weather they will be enabled to clean
out their corn and cotton, and finish
rice planting. The area planted this
year far exceeds that of last, many
having almost doubled their acreage.
We are glad to learn that more at
tention has been given to the cultiva-
ton of corn in this parish than here
tofore, our farmers having realized
the fact that a full crib of corn is
more than half the fight against hard
times. So, in the summing up of Cal
casieu's future crop prospects, we are
encouraged by the happy mode we
find our country friends in when
speaking on the subject.

SECRETARY CARROLL, of the N. Y.
State Board of Health, does not an
ticipate that cholera will reach Amer
lea through Eastern seaboard cities,
but thinks it will make its appearance,
if it comes at all, along the Mississippi
river, entering by the Gulf of Mexico,
and will spread in every direction
unless strict sanitary regulations be
enforced. This should be warning
to our State Board of Health, and there
should be nothing left undone to pro-
tect the people of the Mississippi Val
ley from this pestilence, and every
town and hamlet in the State should
adopt and enforce strict sanitary regu.
lations Immediately for the protection
of their citizens, as any delay in this
most important matter might result
fatally.

THE UNRESTRICTED COINAGE OF
SILVER.

Dr.. Arendt. the energetic leader OF the
by-metallist party in Germany, recently
announced that the Monetary Standard
Commission of the Free Economic Asso-
citation would propose in the Reichstag,
in the curse Of a few days, a motion
urging the Chancellor to arrange for the
representation Of Germany at the next
International Monetary Conference in
Paris, with the object of obtaining an
agreement for the reopening Of the minis
of the United States, the Latin Union,
and the German Empire to the unre-
stricted coinage Of silver He argos that
. renewed discussion Of the question
mast appear to all by-metallists to be
e~minently desirable At the present con.
jancture, and that the adoption of the
proposal BY the Reiehstag may, under
existing circumstances. be regarded as
assured. the attitude Of the Reichstag
with regard to the question being, he as
serts. now very different from what the
gold party supposes. The policy Of the
German by-metallists. it is urged. should
now be the promotion Of the conclusion
OF an international monetary agreement
without the cooperation Of England, IS
the adoption Of by-metallism would
greatly facilitate German exchanges with
foreign countries, and thus assist Ger.
many in her competition with Great
Britain in international trade. Advant.
age should. therefore. ii il consended. be
taken Of the present colonial movement
IN Germany TO bring forward this view
Of the question.
