GEN. GRANT DECLINES A kNIGHTHooD.
A cable dispatch from Lisbon states that
General Grant dined with King Luis. of
Portugal, On the LIST instant. All the MEM
bers OF the ministry were present, and also
members of the judiciary and military de-
partments of the kingdom. The palace was
gaily trimmed with flags, and the day was
festival throughout the city. The Kings
reception Of the ex President was very cor
dial. His Majesty offered the General the
highest decoration of knighthood known to
the kingdom. General Grant thanked the
King, but said that he was compelled to de-
cline the honors, as the laws of the United
States made it impossible for an officer to
wear decorations, and, although he was not
now in Office he preferred to respect the law.
He thanked his Majesty heartily for the
honor intended. King Luis then offered
him copy of his translation Of Hamlet
into Portuguese, which General Grant ac-
cepted with many thanks.

4 SHIP SUNK IN KrD.0CF4y

The steamship Utopia, which recently arrived
IN New York, reports = collision with the Bremen
bark Helios. The Helios sank after, but the
Utopia received no serious damage. The fog was
intense. The Utopia's engines had been reversed
AS soon as the ship discov cred, nd at the time
OF the collision her hesdwsy was entirely checked.
The passengers on the steamer were greatly
alarmed. and as II took few minutes for the cap
tain to learn the state Of his vessel, panic seemed
imminent. The suspense was heightened BY the
TACT that the forward part of the Utopis was seen
10 be steadily settling in the water and that the
crew were lowering and making ready the life
boats IL was finally reported thai the steamer
nau sustained no serious damage, and that tue or
der to lower the life hosts had been given a. a
matter OF precaution. The settling forward was
due to the fact that the rigging of the Hehos was
entaneled in the bow of the Utopia, and the ship
was thus weighing down the ste amer. The ITO
pia was soon backed down and got free from the
snip, and few moments afterwards the liehos
hIed, careened on her lett side and sank.
AT the moment of the collision number Of the
crew ciambered over the bow of the steamer and
thus easily escaped. One man, however, had his
arm fearfuily mangled, and another, losing his
hold, was jsnimed in mass of broken tmbers Tor
about ten minutes, when he was rescued. Seven
oil the men of the Helios, who were not so fortu-
nate, climbed on to the side of the ship that was
slowly settling over, and knowing that their ves-
sci had sixty tons of stone ballast pitifu.ly cried
for help. All of them were taken off, and within
twenty minutes AFTER tne COLLISION all OF tue crew
of the Helios, twelve in number, were safely on
board the Utopis. When the accident occurred a
wind was blowing from the southwest. The
Hehos was making seven and a halt miles an
hour and the Utopia less than ten. The two ves-
sells discovered each other simultaneously, and it
is said that # each had kept s course they would
have just cleared each other. The He0s, how
ever. attempted to pass TO one side of the Utopia
and moment later, Misunderstanding the steam
er's movements, changed her course to the right.
She was too late, however, and the Utopia struck
her about third aft of her bow, crushing in
her hui and causing her to sink 10 less than three
minutes.
