The comparative table again shows a

This tender, memory of his grand

in the career of Blaine. It accounts for
his fervent devotion to the Sonth, hith

The Afghah Situation-—Since the
downfall of She.'e Ali, Ameer of Af
ghanistan, and bis subsequent death
under the pressure of the British invas
ion of his territories because of the
smgnlar want of politeness of that bar
barian, matters appear to be working
round satisfactorily for Her Majesty’s
Government. Yakoob Khan, the son
of Ali, who is said to be something of a
soldier, is a discreet one, perhaps, aud
it is now reported that he has entered
or is about to enter into negotiation
with tho British Goverment—which, of
course, while they lead to peace, will
also establish Yakoob m poder undis

English, most probable, in his favor as
against any possible Russian influence
or aggression hereafter, Tiiat will se

possessions in the east. Meantime the
poor Afghan Ambassadors who accom
panied the late Ameer to Tuskend in
search of Russian sympathy and aid
have, it is reported under instructions
from the Czar, taken their leave, with
out a message to their new sovereign,
Yakoob. Evidently Russia means to
take no responsibility as to Afghan suc
cession.

It is gratifying to note; too, that the
bonds are being received universally, as
far as heard from, as currency. There
can be no question of the constitution
ality of this issue of tho bonds, and
they will prove a great convenience to
the general public. They enlarge our
currency without inflating it. • The
bonds are bonds iu the severest sense
of the word,-and if there is anything
illegal in them the illegality consists,
as Mr. Garrard has aptly said, “in the
smallness of the type and the size of
the paper.” We hope, therefore, to
see tlum freely used throughout the
State to facilitate barter and trade.
Iu any event, however, the experiment
of four per cents has proved a success,
and Georgia's credit goes up to. the ver-
y highest point. And it drives in the

A DISASTROUS FLOOD.
Czedcgin, a city of about one hundred
thousand inhabitants, in Hungary, Eu
rope, was visited by a disastrous flood
on the 12th inst. The city is built on
the banks of the river Theisse, at the
point where this river unites with the
river Maros.
The river is confined to its channel
by high bunks, and^the city is really
below the level of the water. The
melting of the snows probably caused
the rapid rise of the river, which car
ried away the banks and inundated
the town. The telegrams says eighty
thousand people were thrown out of
houses and fully three hundred were
destroyed. A vast amount of property
was destroyed.
The government- of Austria sent re
lief to the sufferers, and probably other
governments will do the same.

Babies found. j lowp.
A new England showman named Gur-
nella gives exposures or imitations of
spiritualistic performances. Previous
to his regular exhibition in Natick he
permitted one of the audience to hand
cuff him and lock him in a cell of the
jail. Within five.minnies after being
left alone he emerged from the prison
free of handcuffs, and said; *-Yon see
that it wjnid be impossible to keep me
imprisoned.” The secret of the trick
was that he had secured duplicate keys,
hiding them in his month while the
committee was searching him;but this
was not made public, and his’ escape
was regarded as almost miraculous.
On the following dav he stole three dol
lars from, his landlord and was put into
the same cell again. A multitude gath
ered around the jail expecting to see
him walk at wili, bnt he didn’t.
