The burning OF the steamer WGNasset on, the
Potomac on Friday, proves to have been one Of
the most frightful and terrible accidents tbat has
ever befallen our river steamers.


1t would seem to be almost impossible for a
fire to get such tremendous heAdway without be-
log discovered, where there were so many passen-
gers, beside the crew Bot this seems to be the
case despite of the smell Of burning wood and
the smoke which must have escaped at some point
before the flames broke out In such destructive
rage as TO bupn off the strong supports TO the
walking beam. On a river like the Potomac, q
boat could be rnn ashore or 10 shOal water In Eve
or ten minutes, and that sIxty-seVen lives should
be sacrificed where there was no surf, on a calm
pleasant summer day, and in region Of country
where nearly every male is expected 10 know how
10 swim, seems astounding and almost incredible.
Such an accident goes to prove the necessity for
constant care and caution on the part Of those
who mauuge our river steamers andthat there is
almost as much danger to be apprehended on them
where the officers grow eOnfdent and careless as
there is on the ocean steamers.


The safest mode Of travel seems to be the rail
car notwithstanding the frequent accidents that
occur in the variou1 part1 Of the country.

DEATH.


Elsewhere in our columns will bs
found the proceedings of one of the
largest meetings of the Memphis bal
ever held IN the city. More than one
hundred Of the leading members of the
profession were in attendance yesterday
at the federal court-rooms to testify by
their presence the profound regret
which the entire bar experienced in the
loss of Judge Hudson, whose sudden
death we announced yesterday. The
resolutions adopted but family portray
the spirit Of sadness, respect, and affec'
ton which characterized the meeting
1t is true that these resolutions are al
that a refined and cultivated COMMITTEES
OF gentlemen, called suddenly and
without preparation to the task
OF writing them, might graciously
offer as an expression Of the
sense of the meeting; it is true that they
are admirably drafted, and say and
mean much in a few words; but he who
would fully enter into the spirit Of the
meeting of yesterday should have lis
tened to the tributes, sorrowful, respect
fuI and tender, which were paid at that
meeting by the ahlest and best lawyers
Of Memphis, to the memory of Judge
Hudson. They were the spontaneous
OutgrOwth Of appreciation for combi-
nation Of kindly virtues which made
the deceased beloved by those who
knew him-beloved as a man, honOred
and esteemed As an upright Judge. In
our issue Of yesterday We gave brief
review of the career in Memphis of the
lamented dead; to-day, in speaking Of
zhe meeting Of the bar, had in respect
to his memory, and as the last sad act
of friendship in committing his ashes to
our mother earth, we cannot
but remember that Judge Hud-
son was a federal soldier, and
a federal judge, type of that political
aud sectional antagonism which has, in
times past, divided our country and inn
perilled our liberties; and yet, the most
glowing tributes paid to his memory
feE from the lips of southern
men and ex-COnfederate soldiers. But
the other day the simple offering of a

loving hands Of fair and gentle women,

Confederate dead, .sleepingat Arlington,

Pharisee, let US thank Cod that the
light Of brotherly love shines as itshould
shine, broadly and lovingly, in our own
sunny-land; that the dark spirit, born
Of the war;. has fed from US forever;
that the virtues that adorn true man
hood are ever passports to the esteem of
all true southern gentlemen, and that
We can revere the graves Of those

The death of John Stuart Mill recalls an
incident which revealed the depths of his ten
der nature. His work on Liberty ap-
peared in 1859. soon after the death Of his
wife, and the memory OF that lady's singular
abilities and womanly virtues was embalmed
by him in the touching ana eloquent Dedi.a-
ton of the volume. 1t was as follows;


"To the beloved and deplored u'emory of
her who was the insprer, and in part the
author, of all that is best in my wIihngs-
the frierd and wife whose exalted sense of
truth and right was my strongest Indictment,
and whose approation was MY chief re-
ward-I dedicate this volume. Like all 1
have written for many years, it belongs as
much to her as to me; but the work as it
stands has hal, in a very insufficient egree,
the inestimable advantage OF her revision;
some OF the most important portions having
been reserved for more careful re-rxamina-
ton, which they are now never destined to
receive. Were but capable of interpreting
to the world one half the great thoughts and
noble feelings which are buried in her grave,
l should be the medium of greater benefit
to it, than is ever likely to arise from any,
thing that can write, unprompted and un-
assisted by her all but unrivalled WISDOM"


Mrs. Mill lies buried at Avignon, long the
home of the wellmated pair, and in the
spring of every year since her death he has
made pilgrimage to her grave. During the
last Of these visits he died. The world now
pays to him tribute as sincere and as just
as that which he paid to her.

The anger Of his pursuer was subdued
