The Oabul Massacre.

S3 { London Times. ) e We have received from a private source

the following account of the massace, as from the lips of one of the

taken do

, survivors :— | have just had a long converstion with

‘one of Sir Louis Cavagnari’s servants, who

'escaped ; he and three others are, as far as

‘known, the sole survivors of the hideous | massacre, of which doubtless you have been ® already in‘ormed »y wire. The particulars

|of the occurrence are as follows: At about |7.30 a. m., on the Ynd, crowds of Afghan isoldiery were perceived rushing towards the Residcnecy. Six Louis Cavagnari must have expected something, as he ordered all the Sowars inside, and had the gates closed. Soon a mob of four thousand men had col-

lected. The gate was broken down, 5 and in a few seconds the Sowars,

though they fonght nobly, were borne down by numbers and massacred to a man. A few soldiers, with the four white men, met the assault of the infuriated throng, who wild with fanaticism and the exultation of feeling their prey in their grasp, swarmed to the attack. No _ flincli-

N HH : VV, ing, no wild firing was to be seen inn the gallant liitle band that met and re- pelled the attack. Agoim and again did the

, Afghans, like a recurring wave, forced on by the pressure of those behind, vain- ly essay to win their way into the house. Each effort but increased

the heap of _ slain that _— fast

A large assortment of

which that statesman is alleged to Lave expressed his intention not to assume} the Liberal leadership.

The British fleet in the Pacific is to be reinforced and none te soon, for it is far too weak to protect the important interest there confided to it. Russia has a couple of ironelads in the Pacific while England has no more, and one of these is on the eastern shore of the Pa- cific and, therefore, not readily avail- able for any warlike operations against Russia.

Meeting a newsboy whose face was scarred with scratches, and looked like & map of some great railroad centre, a newspaper reporter asked the young: ster what the matter was. ‘Feller spoke disrespectful of my sister ; said he’d bet she was cross-eyed, and I sail ed in.’ ‘Is your sister cross-eyed ?’| asked the reporter. ‘Hain’t got no sister, was the reply. ‘ it was the prin- ciple of the thing that I got licked for.’

A gentleman sent his Irish servant up to his room for a pair of boots, and at the same time told him to be sure and get mates, as there were two pairs in the closet. Patrick returned with two boots, but odd ones. ‘Why don’t you see that these boots are not alike— one is a long top and the other a short one ?’ said the gentleman, out of pa- tience with the fellow. ‘ Bedad, your honor,’ said Pat in apology, ‘ and it’s true for ye; but thin the other pair was just so, too !’

The King Cetewayo received a les- son in the social duties of Civilization while zoing to Cape Town on the Na- tal—he was photographed! We will do His Majesty the justice to say that he submitted to the operation at first with extreme reluctance. Stratagem was necessary to get him on deck, and he appears to have regarded the camera with much apprehension as something which might go off and hurt him. When he found that the portraying*pro cess caused no pain, he kept still enough to furnish a negative; but when the insatiate photographer begged him for another, the King sternly refusel. One, however, will be sufficient to furnish all the picture shops of the Strand with six-penny copies, and the ex-king will soon figure there, and by his supreme ugliness prove a valuable set-off to the charms of Mrs. Langtry and other British ladies.

on the Residency continued. Yakooo had plenty of other troops besides those that attacked the Residency, yet he made no attempt even to send them to the rescue. Daoud Shah, the Commander-in-Chief, found a suthcient reason in the pelting of a couple of stones at him not to inter-

CATA RRE. fonst cutional Catarrh hemody CURES CATARRH.

Tear what a Reverend Gentleman says of the Constitutional Remedy.

|

lr. J. B. Harpine, Esq., Brockville, Ont. :—

Dear Sir—Itis now two years since your ‘‘Censtitutional Catarrh Remedy’ was intro- duced tome. Ihave waited this ong to see i? the cure would remain permanent before do- ing this, my duty, te you, as at first the happy effects seemed to me to be “‘too good rg true.”

I was afilicted in my head for years before I suspected it to be Ca‘arrh. In reaiingin your Circular I saw my case described in many par ticulars, The inward “drop” from the head had become very disagreeable, and a choking sen-ation often preveating me from lying long, I would feel like smothering and be compelled to sit up im the bed. My health and spirits were seriously affected. When your agent came to Walkertown in August, 1876, I secured three bottles. Before I had used a quarter of the contents of one bottle I found decided re- lief, and when I had rfsei two bottles and a third, | quit taking it, feeling quite cured of that ailment, and have not used any since until of late I have taken some for a cold in my head.

A sense of duty to sufferers trom that loath- some disease, Catarrh, prompts me to send you this Certificate, unsolicited, with leave to make wiat use of it yon may see proper Yours truly,

W. TINDALL, Methodist Minister.
