: REOEnT EVENTS.

A Paris dispatch says George Sand,
the American novelist, is dying.
The Southern Memorial Association
of the District of Columbia decorated
the graves of 300 Confederate soldiers
buried at Arlington Cemetery on the
81 inst.
A strike took place in the news-room
of the indianapolis Telegraph office
April 18th, against the employment of
Miss Amanda Boetticher, a lady of
many accomplishments, and skillful in
the "art preservative." The strike was
purely on the ground that she is a
woman.
The Emperor and Empress of Brazil
and suite visited Mount Vernon on the
morning of the Sd inst, and shortly
after their return left for Niagara Falls.
The distinguished party will soon sail
for Germany, where the Empress is or
dered by her physicians to celebrated
water cure.
A tank containing a thousand gallons
of water in st. Georges Hospital, Lon
don, gave way on the morning of the Sd
inst. The water crashed through the
wards, carrying away the patients in
their beds before it, tearing out walls,
and deluging the entire building. Sew
eral patients were killed, and many Sc
riously injured.
The House has agreed to the following
item in the Indian appropriation bill
for incidental expenses of the Indian
service on the Pacific Coast States and
Territories: California, S3O,OOO; Oregon,
$4,000; Washington, $1,000; Idaho,
5000; Montana, $1,000; Nevada, $1,000;
Utah, $1,000; New Mexico, $4,000, and
Arizona, Sl6,OOO.
It is a noticeable fact that Demo-
cratic Senators make no fight for the
wholesale reductions in the legislative
appropriation bill effected by the
House, but acquiesce generally in
amendments restoring all the reduced
items to their original proportions.
Thus fails another cheap effort for po-
litical capital at the expense of public
service.
Opinions are still divided as to
Speaker Kerr's guilt, but hitherto moth
ing has shaken witness Harney's posi-
tive testimony, sustained by circum-
stantial evidence on corroborating
points. There would be less disposition
to believe Harvey if Kerr had not de-
MED acquaintance with him. If he can
reasonably explain a good motive for
securing an army appointment for a
New Yorker instead of for constituent
of his own, it would strengthen the sus-
picion that Harvey himself pOcketed
the money.

STABBING AFFRAY.-Yesterday afternoon a
number of sailors who had been drinking free
~ were discussing different matters in front of
Thomas Foden's boarding house On Fore street,
when something was said about the American
flag. This drew out one James Jackson, who
is m ate of the schooner Emma E. Parker, now
lying at Portland Pier. He asked if any insult
was intended TO the flag, when Nova Scotian
replied in sighting manner, and at the same
time struck Jackson. The bow was returned
by Jackson, who then drew large sheath
knife and threatened to mlrder the first man
who touched him. Several Of the crowd start
ed for him, when he struck the Nova ScotaD,
cutting long wound in his abdomen. Officer
Sterling appeared on the scene at this point
and arrested jackson. The surgeon who at
tended the injured man thinks the wound is
not serious one.

description of New Hampshire, in 1892, DR..
Belknap, the historian, mentions the true

of our rival mountains in the same year, 1925.
