The manner in which Senator Blaine daugh-

of which was made in telegraphic dispatch)
is thus related in letter from Augusta, Me-:
"Talking with gentleman in the parlor of
her fathers house, she .oyed and played with
tiny pistol that belonged to her brother.
The visitor begged her to put it away, although
it was unloaded, and spoke gravely Of using
even empty pistols as playthings. When he
arose to go away, she laughingly ran up stairs
TO her brothers room, got cartridge and put
it in the cylinder, and came bounding down,
calling to her friend, who was passing out of
the front yard, to see her shoot but, before
she had leveled the weapon, in her gleeful
hurry she pressed the trigger, and the ball
struck between her eyes, passing upward.
Miss Blaine clasped her head with her hand,
and crying 'Oh am shot ! fell to the floor.
Surgeons have probed for the ball, but cannot
find it. The child suffers terribly Inflamma-
ton Of the brain is feared, but the surgeons
give the family hope"

will be found them on Souris river in the Dirt
Hills region. The Canadian Indians, who hung
around the fort during the conference, are de-
lighted with the way Sitting Bull talked back
at the Commissioners, and express great con-
idence in him. He told me an hour ago that
he would live quietly on Canadian soil, and
would, on no consideration, violate
Canadian neutrality, and before he died he
hoped to make the Americans cry. The Nez
Perces are scattered all over, and are inclined
to rest. Walsh says there will be no more
trouble until the Indians feel themselves strong
enough TO begin another campaign, probably in
the spring. The police regret the failure of
the commission, but are satisfied that they
can make satisfactory arrangements with Sit
ting Bull"
