the AFGHAN REVOLT AGAINST
THE BRITISH.
The startling announcement cornea by
cable of an insurrection in Cnbni, tbe
capital of Afghanistan, tbe plundering
of the arsenal of the Ameer by mutin
ous soldiery and the populace, and al-
go of attack made npon tbe britisb Em-
bj.gy and its military escort, and of tbe
nnsvailing effort of the Ameer to quell
tba outbreak. Such news as this must
have been a matter of profonnd sur
prise to tbe British public, which has
been led to believe that the Afghan war
was over, that a scientific frontier had
been secured, and that Earl Beacons-
field’s famous phrase that the object of
Her Majesty’s gavernment was to obtain
“peace with honor” was justified by the
result. It now appears to be quite
probable that the only solution of this
new outbreak is the conquest of the
whole of Afghanistan, from the fron
tiers of Beloocbistan to those of Turkes
tan. The whole story, the rising of the
soldiery and the populace, the attack on
tbe members of the British Embassy,
the desperate defen 1 e made by them,
sad the fearful straits to which at last
accounts they were reduced-leaving no
Lope of their rescue—recalls vividly the
similar rising of the Afghan soldiery in
1811-42, cutting off the British supply
columns, and of its ending in the terri
ble massacre of the retreating British
forces in the Koordi-Cabul pass, where
in spite of promises of safe conduct,
out of 4,500 men of all arms, only one
man escaped alive. It is remarkable
that with the knowledge of this terrible
slaughter of tiio entire British force that
bad entered ‘he city of Cabul as con
querors, and of the treachery that made
such a slaughter possible, the British
Embassy, consisting of Major Cavngna-
li and three other persons, should have
been allowed to leave Jellalabad for Ca
bal under so small a military escort as
fifty infantry soldiers and twenty six
cavalrymen. That the Embassy should
rcuch Cabul unmolested, and that Ma
jor Cavagnari should report, underdate
of August 18th, the submissive action
of the Ameer in respect to tbe letters
sent to him by General Kaufman, the
Russian commander in Turkestan, only
serves to show that if intrigues were
then on foot to incite the Afghan sol
diers to rebel, as will probably prove
ti be the case, they were kept profound
ly secret. The orders since issued bf
the Viceroy of Iudia for the seizure of
the passes, and the concentration of the
British troops under General Stewart
at Caudahar. while General Roberts ad
vances through the Peiwar pass to Ca-
bul wi‘,h all the forces tinder his com
mand, is a proof of tbe alarm which the
insurrection in Cabul and the probable
massacre of the British Embassy has
created among the authorities in India,
and the almost feverish energy with
which it has inspired them. In 1842,
when after the massacre of the British
army in the Koordi-Cabul pass, it was
determined to recapture Cabul, and so
vindicate the honor of the Britisb arms,
it took General Pollock four weeks to
reach Cabul from Jellnlabnd; and al
though General Roberts may not meet
with similar opposition, he cannot even
now appear before the gates of Cabal, if
circumstances shonld peculiarly favor
him, under a less period than two
vreeks,—Baltimore Sun.
A Lost Child Found by a Dog.—In
llilkauweo on Monday evening a little
hoy, three years old, was missing, and
his parents became alaimed. A fine
Newfoundland shared in their anxiety,
and joined in the search through the
neighboring streets. He soon gave a
joyous bark, and the father joining him
found that the boy, tired by bis wau
derings, bad crawled benen th the step
plate between the sidewalk and the
crossing, and was fast asleep, The
dog’s jcy at his successful hunt was
skated by the rest of family.

WESTERN WILDS,
And The Men Who Redeem Them.
An Authentic Narrative, Embracing an
Acconnt of Seven Years Travels and
Adventure in the Far West. By J. H.
Beadle, Author of “Life in Utah;”
Western Correspondent Cincinnati Com
mercial, ect. Illustrated. Jokes Bboth-
ER8 & Co., Cincinnati, Chicago, Phila
delphia. 1878.
The time when the country west of the
Mississsppi river had no past and no
material for the record of history, is
within the memory of thousands now
living. The land of the tawny, wild-
rushing Colorado; of the delightful val-
ley of the Yosemite and the wonders of
Golden Gate, were unknown to ns ex
cept by dim tradition a half a century
ago. Now the Panorama' of this im
mense territory discloses the America
Eldorado, not only in Precious metals,
but in a fruitful soil and a genial cli
mate; not only in pure, health-restor
ing atmosphere, but in the most easily
accessible means of rapid fortune. Its
history is more entrancing than any ro
mance.
Every interesting locality in this ter
ritory was visited by Mr. Beadle. He
investigated its advantages and disad
vantages, and duly recorded every im
portant fact relating to its people, its
resources and prospects. His book iR
the carefully compiled outcome of sev
en years travel, observation, inquiry
and experience in the Far West, Un
der the treatment of Mr. Beadle it has
resulted in the most fascinating book of
history, anecdote, and adventure we
have ever read, and addresses itself to
readers everj-where abundant promises
of instruction and amusement.
The impression created by the suc
cessive chapters is that of an eatertain
ing narrative, very picturesque and full
of surprises; but at the close, one finds
it has contributed to his miud a store
of information not elsewhere obtainable,
land which is of more than t rJinary
value because it forms one of the most
important segments of American an
nals. Its newness, as the record o!
people, heretofore unknown in our his
tory, its courage, independence, aiid
bold dashes at error; its transcripts of
strange in' erviews with notorious out-
lav/s, rangers and frontiers men; its hair
breadth escapes and funny documems;
its facts, humor, figures, pathos and el
oquent decriptious its fine maps and
appropriate illustrations—all "'unite to
stamp it with originality of conception,
brillian t execution, and a masterly com
prehension of the true art of book mak
ing.
The purely historical portion antedate
argonauts of ’49, and record all Pacific
coast, overland, and mining affairs
from the beginning. It includes the rise
and fall of “cities;” the origin, progress
and decline of Mr.rmonism, with its
hundred tragical incidents; the various
Indian out-breaks; building the Pacific
railroad; exploits of scouts and prospec
tors; campaigns of Custer, etc.; and its
record of thrilling adventures and gal-
aut deeds is more absorbing than any
thing in the language.
It is a book of more than six hun
dred pages, and it is, therefore, useless
for us to attempt anything like an ade
quate review of its contents in these col
umns. Its illustrations, of which there
are one hundred and twenty-seven, are
elegant and appropriate, and, all to
gether, it is not only one of the most
interesting, but one of the handsomest
volumes everjissued from the American
dress.
Akotheb Chahce fob Grant.—It is ru
mored that the Emperor of China has
solicited General Grant to take com
mand of the Mongolian army, and to
make the offer a tempting one, the
moon-eyed monarch has mentioned
matter of §1,000,000 a year as a fair
compensation for tho service. Except
General Grant, there is no man alive to
whom the confirmation of this story
would assume greater pleasure than Mr
John Sherman. The sensation along
his spinal column would give his Presi
dential hopes a boost that would last a
week in the most adverse wind.—Bar

THE XTHERY TROUBLES.
A correspondent of the Boston Herald,
writing from Halifax, gives the views
which Captain Babson will embody in
his report to the State Department on
the fishery question. This officer was
sent to find the causes that have led to
bad blood between the American
fishermen and those of Newfoundland
and the Dominion. He found that the
feeling against the American fisher
men is no more than the world-old feel
ing of any class of laborers against la-
bor-saviug appliances. They are net
tled by the American energy, and be
cause their competitors in the race for
wealth are better fitted for the contest
than themselves, The only privileges
the Americans enjoy^in Newfoundland
is tbe merely commercial one of-coming
in to porebase bait. There is a class of
colonial fishermen who make the for
tunes of influential merchaants by buys
their sopplies of them on credit and pay
ing with fish at the end of the season.
The American practice of purchasing
bait has caused these men, for the lure
of the American ready money, to al
most abandon their codfisbing and de
vote their entire energies to catching
bait. Such practice results in the tra
der, at the close of the season, being
minus of the supplies advanced to the
fishermen. Consequently a wealthy
clasR of traders, men who make a doub
le profit, first on the supplies advanced
rn the fish in which they are paid, have
thrown themselves into the opposition,
and taken advantage of the discontent
of the fishermen at the better equip
ments of tlieir American competitors to
foster the feeling that the Americans
are damaging the fisheries, and ton
measure encourage open resistence to
the yaukees. In conclusion, Captain
Babson thinks that if the treaty
be abrogated Americans and American
fishermen will not suffer, and that any
continuance upon the present .prepos
terous financial basis would be not only
utterly nncalled for by the facts, but
most highly injudicious.— Philadelphia

The printing;bill regulating rates for
legal advertising, which has passed
both houses, fixes the rates for all ad
vertising emanating from tbe offices of
the sheriff, clerk, ordinary and marshals
of the towns and cities, at 65 cents of
each insertion of one hundred words for
tho first month an advertisement runs,
and for each subseqnei.t insertion the
fee is 35 cents per hundred words. The
bili makes it extortion for any officer to
collect any otLer or greater sum, and
makes it penal to retain any part of the
fee as commissions.
Four-fifths of the national bank cir
culation is in the Eastern States. The
Boston banks alone have over twelve per
cent, of the entire circulation of the
country, The amount of the circula
tion of the Boston national bonks dur
ing the fiscal year was §28,325,000,
while the circulation of the New York
banks was bnt §22,086,000, and of the
Chicago banks but §565,000. - These
figures help to show the localities that
profited most by speculation and the
necessities of the government in time
of war. Where the bonds are, there is
also tbe greatest banking capital.
New uses for the telephone are being
discovered every day. At North Dana,
Massachusetts, a telephone connects
the room of a sick lady with the pulpit
of the church in which she- was accus

hear the sermon and singing, although
confined to her bed a long distance from
the chnrch.
WORM-PROOP COTTON.
A Mr. White, of Texas lias discovered
a new kind of cotton which he claims is
entirely worm-proof, and which is said to
be of excellent quality. The Financial
Chronicle says of it:
“The writer examined the cotton
growing. The stalks were large and
healtny, a brownish red aolor, the leaf
resembling ordinary cotton, with a very
rank weed odor, the bolls were larger
than ordinary cotton and well filled with
lint. In the centre of each boll thers is
a small pod containing, evidently, the
seed. When the boll is fully opened
this pod of seed is also opened, and
the seed drop ont, leaving the lint cot
ton in the boll. The Bolls will all ma.
ture in a few days of each other. This
the planter could remedy by planting at
different times. Mr W. says the cotton
can be picked within one hundred days
after planting. Mr.W bite has taken
of ordinary cotton with cotton worms at
work upon them, placed them in and
alongside of his cotton, so that the
worm conld easily get on his cotton, bat
in no instance did they cut any of the
leaves, stalk or boll of his cctton. He
has gathered the worms from other cot
ton stalks and placed them on his cot
ton with the same resuit, and feels very
confident that no worm will ever touch
it.
Should Mr White’s discovery prove
to be what he claims for it, absolutely
worm-proof—aud upon this he has no
fears—the value and importance of the
discovery cannot easily be estimated, es
pecially in the old cotton belt.
Gen. Ord, of Texas, recently sent to
the Springfield Mass, armory a piece of
meteor picked up in Mexico some
time ago, with the request that it be
made into a sword for himself. The
piece is composed of iron mainly,hut it
is so soft and brittle that tLe workmen
find it- very dfficult to harden the met
al snfficieu'ly for the blade, though
they will probably be able to finish it
in good shape.
The Philadelphia Times suggests that
good way to prevent strikes in the
Fall river, Massachusetts, mills is to
stop the stealing of the mill treasurers
and to pay the operatives better wages.
The Times holds that if the stealing is
stopped the mills can afford to pay bet
ter wages. But the trouble is they
would have to hang all the pious rndi
cals in New England before they can
stop the stealing.
The Flobida Ship Cakal.—Mr Con
over, now in Washington city, says that
the people of Florida, at the present
time, are full of the questions of the
building of a ship canal across the State,
lie says that the Railroad interest of the
State are opposing to the canal project*
but it is his opinion that the people at
large are favorable to its construction*
aud that there will be an extra session
of the Legislature called to give the ca
nal company the necessary charter, to
proceed with the work.

It is stated that the Lord Lieutenant of
Ireland, the Duke of Maryborough, has

A man in Kansas who represented
himself as a “practieol farmer” visited
all the fairs with a prize pumpkin, and
took the premium every time. It meas

Grove, a rival farmer attempted to tap
the pnmpkin in theabscence of its own
er, to get some of the seeds, and he dis.
covered that it was made of wood. This
beats the ingenious Connecticut inven
tion of bass-wood cucumber seed.
