virginia applied for an injunction in Baltimore
Tuesday through B. F. Butler and Geo. NJ. Robe
SON. against Attorney General Garland, Secretary
Endicott, Commissioner Lydecker, and 6. B. and
s q. Chittenden, contractors. The bill alleges
that the Great Falls Manufacturing Company IS
nossessed of Conn's Island, in the Potomac river,
and of certain lands and water rights pertaining
thereto extending about half mile up aud down
the river from the Great Falls OF the Potomac,
and Of the Teulson tract, containing about l,ooo
acres with all the easements, rights OF wate> use,
NAVIGATION fisheries, and privileges pertaining
thereto This land, it is alleged, would have long
since been taken up and used by the company 1or
manufacturing purposes, to the great income,
profit and advantage Of the company, had 1t not
BEEN for the unauthorized, unlawful, and oppres-
sive set Of the officers, persons claiming 10 oe
officers of the United states, and claiming TO ACT
under its authority, who lntrnded themselves
upon the lands of the company and oil Verteo large
quantities Of the waters away from the company
lands for the purpose of supplying the city o,
Washington with water, so that the company an"
all other persons were prevented from improving
and using the water power because Of the uncer
taiuty as to how much water would be diverted.
and because of the dnubss thrown on the title OF
the company By the Intrusion. The bill is sisnei
by Gen. Benjamin F. Butler az president The
court passed an order for the defendants to show
cause, by May II, why an ipj JUNCTION should not
issue.

Ia the notice of the commencement OF
Miss Dorsey's Calisthenic class, in Tuesday
evenings GAZETTE, there was no mention
made of the May Queen, Miss Ruthie Pref
lyman. Her modest, lady-like department
when so conspicuousy called before the
public won the admiration of all present,
who fully endorsed her classmates choice OF
her as the most fitting occupant Of the
pretty throne, which was tastetully draped
and garlanded by the little sovereign's sub
jects.
The May pole dance, with its many in
tricacies so prettily rendered, was enthusi-
astically applauded. At one time it seemed
about to be failure, as by one inattentve
step all was thrown into confusion; but that
was soon remedied, and more than once the
pole was covered by the plat of bright
colors.
The grace, beauty and precision of Miss
Myra Civaiier, the winner of the medal IN
Company A, was universally admitted, as
was also the excellence of the other medal
lists Miss Steiner and Master David Ian.

FIRST SETTLEMENT OF THE EARTH-Ac-
cording to the opinion commonly received
the general deluge, recorded by Moses, oc-
Cured about the year of the world l6oo,
and $3.50 before the Christian era. Ihere
is q difference, however, among chronoiogists
of from one to three hundred years, on &C
count of different ages assigned TO antede,
luviau patliarchs. About one hundred ana
Gfty years from the dcluge, that IS about
two thousand two hundred years before our
era, according to the common computation,
the inhabitants were considerable in the part
of the earth where they lived, there being
then five generations, including the sons OF
Noah, who lived to great age The attempt
to build Babel, the separation of the human
race and their dispersion into distant re-
gions is usually fixed at this period. Some
of them, the children and grand children OF
Ham, went south to Canaan or Palestine
and thence some of them into Egypt, where
the climate is mild and the soil rich, aud
soon became numerous people. Japhet
settled in more northern or northwestern
parts of Asia, and thence passed into Eu-
rope. And the descendants of Shem settled
Chaldea, and thence emsrated into the
eastern and southeastern parts Of Asia. The
people of India are certainly an ancient
race Some people suppose that Noah HIM
self lived three hundred years alter the
