Killing Kavagnari.
The Best Story or the Massacre or the
British at Cabul.
The best story of the Cabul mats tore
lis the following, taken down from the
lip, Won# of the survivors and furnish-
led to the London Standard. Says the
lwriter:
“I have just had a long conversation
■with one of Sir Louis Cavagnari’s ser-
Ivanls who escaped; he and three others
lire, so far as is known, the sole survi
vors of the hideous massacre, of which
doubtless you have been already in-
jfjrmed by wire. The particulars of the
icnrrence areas follows: At about half
|past seven a. m. on the 2d, crowds of
1 Afghan soldiery were perceived
nhiog toward the Residency. Sir
jouis Cavagnari must have expected
■amething, as he ordered all the Sowars
inside, and had the gates closed. Soon
1 mob of about four thousand men had
collected. The gate was broken down,
|tnd ioa few seconds the Sowars, though
they fought nobly, were borne down by
umbers and massacred to a man. A
lev soldiers, with the four white men,
pet the assault of the infuriated throog,
po, wild with fauaticism and the exul-
Ltion of feeling them in their grasp,
kvirmed to the attack. No flinching,
f i wild firing was to be seen in the gal-
pt little band that met and repelled
]he attack. Again end again did the

In by the pressure of thoso behind, vain
ly essay to win their way into the house,
tich effort but increased the heap of
pin that fast accumulated round the
louse. Cowed by their reception, they
withdrew to the cover available from
Sails and houses, and from their ’vant-
fee ground poured a hail of lead into
|wy opening in tho building. Gal-
lM Hamilton, so lately adorned with
lo \ ictoria Cross, adorned it with hiB

IMauntedly to the hottest fire; for a

continued. Yakoob had plenty of oth
er troops besides those that attacked the
Residency; yet he made no attempt
even to send them to the rescue. Dad
Shah, the Commander-in-chief, found a
sufficient reason in the pelting of a
coupie of stones at him not to interfere.
Yakoob’s eon, a mere boy, visited the
scene of attack, but being politely told
not to interfere could not conquer his
feelings of sympathy with the slayers of
the Kaffire; he, too, did nothing. One
noble man there was, a Mollah (a Mus
sulman prieBt,) who sought Yakoob du
ring the attack and begged him to inter
fere, and reproached him with tho dis
grace of killing a friend and an ambas
sador; but Yakoob said, ‘I can do noth
ing-’ It is stated that all was Yakoob’s
design, and the seeming mutiny of
troops was but a skillful cloak for the'
murderous act of his own origination.
It is strange that, a Mollah had similar
ly reproached the Ameer, and that his
words were the means of saving the
lived O'f George Lawrence and others of
the mission who had been seized and
were momentarily expecting their death.
No Such good fortune was in store for
our unfortunate Countrymen.”
A Compliment to Hayes.
An interesting reporter, says the
Washington Post, having in mind the
counting out of Mr. Tildep, after his
fair election to the Prasidenoy, and the
counting in of Mr. Hayes, after his
equally fair defeat, screwed his courage
to the sticking place and squarely pro
pounded to Mr. Hayes the question:
‘Haven’t we great reason to fear that
the Democrats will count out our nomi
nee, no matter what his majority may
be? They have both Houses now, and-
their power over the returns is abso
lute.” To this terrible centre shot Mr.
HayeS replied : "I think public opinion
will prevent them from adopting suoh
a course. The independent voters and
and independent newspapors, siding
with those of the party to be defrauded,
would form too strong an opposition to
be defied. A few moderate Democrats
Congress woul^ have tips power to
prevent the carrying out of such a
scheme.” There is no danger that a
fraudulent President will succeed the
fraud now in that office, but the cool,
insolent assumption of this man sur-
passes anything in human experience.
The case supposed is his case. He was
counted in in spite of the clafoor of
independent voters-and independent
newspapers.” And yet this product of
combined iniquities puts on a sanctimo
nious air, and piously relies on the hon
esty of a Democratic Congress to defeat
what his party perpetrated in his inter
est. There have been many exhibitions
of execrable taste and unblushing ef
frontery on the part of this man. He
has slandered the man whose office he
holds by the grace of crime, and whose
salary he draws by the same instru
mentality. He has gossiped of Mr. Til-
den’s personal affairs with the volubili
ty of a fish-woman. But this last per
formance scales the heights of impu
dence, and successfully defies all efforts
to fitly characterize it.
Gen. Harney and the Indians—
Felix G. McConnell.
S‘» Louis Correspondent of the Courer Journal*
There is no man living who was ever
more successful, or who so well under
stands the Indian character to-day, than
Gen. Harney, whose power and in
fluence over them is next to the Great
Spirit in their estimation. Gen. Har
ney was unjustly put on the retired list
under Mr. Lincoln, but he is active and
robust as ever, and the war department
could hot do better than restore him to
a command and sond him out to treat
with the Indians, as his influence over
them would by equal to an army itself.
Gen. Harney was always of the opinion
that the. dishonest Indian agents were
responsible for the mo t of our Indian
troubles, and earnestly advocated that
they should be wholly abolished and
officers in the army appointed in their
stead by making the agenoies 11 military
posts.- There is no question but that-
the whole system of Indian agencies-itf a
failure, and the peace and welfare of
the country demand that it should be
abolished. Gen. Sam Houston was of'
the same opinion, and was the earnest
defender of the rights of the Indian
when in the Senate against the outrages
committed by these Indian agents.
This recalls to mind the famous
speech of the npted and eccentric Felix
Grandy McConnell, of Alabama, in the
administration of Mri Polk. The
Indian appropriation bill was before
the House, and threatened to be defeat
ed by the opposition, when Mr. McCon
nell, who was celebrated for his satire
and sarcasm, rose to' reply to an Eastern

How Dr. Talmqge Construed
“Come.”
Soon after tho arrival of the ‘Great
American Orator” he engaged to deliver
a lecture in Bristol for £40, and the
gentleman who made the agreement
>ut a sixpenny agreement stamp on his
etler. Shortly after this Dr. Talmage
sent to eav that he must havq £50 and
asking for an immediate reply.
“Come 1” Within a .short time of tho
day fixed upou another letter arrived
from the Doctor, stating that the in
quiries for his services were bo numer
ous that he could not go to Bristol un
der £60. The telegram in reply was,
“Come! Cornel! Cornell!” He came
and produced “roars of laughter ’ by
his lecture, and some of our moat popu
lar ministers laughed heartily over his
jokes and prayed for the divine blessing
to rest upon his labors. But instead of
receiving £60 for his hire the cash
handed to him was £40. “Oh! this is
wrong.” said Dr. Talmage, “I.said tha t
I would not come under £60! But
when ho saw the stamped agreement he
found that he had been outwitted for
once and had to be content with £4U.

Mr. JuraeB Red path, lately missing,

still some mystery about his reasons tor
going away; And apropos to this, a
writer in the Atlantic Monthly for No

during the last year, there were .wS
cases of missing persons reported to the
police, and of these one thud were wo
men. Though many of them have been
heard from, quite a number are yet un

detective that there are probably 2,00b

In several provinces oi Russia tho
wolves make havoc among the cattle;
even children and men sometimes, fall
victims of their rapacity. The Kicxli-
anin reports the following case:
“On August 16th, at noon, a wolf
made his appearance on the streets of a
village in the province of Vilna, and
seized a boy three years old, who play
ed itl the yard near the house. On
hearing the cry of her child the mother
ran out of the house and was shocked
at seeing her boy in the teeth of a wolf.
Hor! screams) at once attracted many
people, who, together with the unhappy
mother started in pursuit; but the wolf
with his victim in his teeth succeeded
in escaping to the neighboring fores!.
The authorities and the villagers search
ed the for two days, but without discov
ering any trace of the child.”

tor Thurman if he didn’t think the re
suit in Ohio wiped out the Democracy.
Whereapon the grand old man snatched
the inevitable bandanna from his hip-
pocket, and after a blnst as loud ns Ro

as follows: . .
“Wipes out the Democratic party?
Why, no ! The Democratic party oan’t

we have ft form of free government.
You might as well try to make me ba-
