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 is, like a recurring wave, forced 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 l»oic bravery. He exposed himself IMauntedly to the hottest fire; for a Imehe seemed to bear a charmed life, lutat length a bullet pierced his heart, T d he, fighting nobly, fell.

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 (yticura HUMORS OF THE SCALP.

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. London Christian World. Persons Who Disappear.
