Cabal and Its People.
The diversified crowds of people that
surge through the streets of Cabul agree
in a way. At nicrht when the narrow
bazaars are aglow with the reflected light
oi on in tune metal wick lamps, ignited
cotton floating in earthenware saucers,
or the wood fires of the cooks, the Ferg
hanee has no objection to sit side bv side
with the Bokharian on the low, open
verandah of the cook's shop; "and on the
same platform, with the seething flesh
pot in the centre, containing little lumps
of meat skewered upon a stick, representa
tives of twenty different Mohammedan
nationalities are content to sit together up
no terms of equality, and afterward to ex
change the hookah and the national love
song, and the romance of chivalry and
theft. Our native agents who have
lived in Cabul, representing the Govern
ment of India in a fitful fashion, have
hinted at crimes being frequently com
mitted in tne bazars; and as the Cabul
woman are celebrated in eastern song
for her eves, her height, her olive skin.
her long black hair, and her gallantry,
though never for love for washing, it iff
easy to see howi such a hot-bed of un
thinking passion as Cabul is, might be
come a hot-bed also for assassination and
oounter assassin. The Cabuls have no
known polioe, and it is believed that the
inhabitants would object to the introduc
tion of conscientious individuals of that
class, because they would interfere with
ancient prerogatives. Troops are em
ployed as revenue collectors at different
times of the year, and as they collect
revenues for themselves as well as for
the State, the Cabuli cherishes a hatred
toward all revenue collectors unless he
happens to be one himself.
Like other Oriental towns, - Cabul is
filthy. Sanitation is not even a dream
with the inhabitants. There are four
principal roads, which are from thirty to
forty feet broad, and these are considered
the handsomest streets. One is the
Great Bazaar, or Charcutta, composed of
one-story mud houses, which have
verandas, slightly elevated above open
gutters opening full upon the streets.
These verandas become shops in day
time, and are stored with specimens of
all the furs, silks and wood and hair
cloths that Central Asia produces. In
the evening, three or tour cronies sit on
a mat in almost every shop, set a lamp in
their midst, fold their feet, put on their
skull-caps, and smoke and tell stories till
midnight. Another great bazaar, lead
ing from the western gate to the Bala
Hissar, is monopolized by cooks and
butchers. Heads and carcasses are sus
pended there in plenty, but no trace of
the unclean animal, the pig, is dis
cernible. It is in this bazaar by oil-light,
that some of the most picturesque look
ing flnSans in the world may be seen.
Observe this one: A man over six feet
high; his head conical-shaped, the jet-
black hair close cut, almost to the bone;
his face long, sallow, and fringed with
grizzly black whiskers, which meet be
neath in one long, matted beard; the
eyes small and keen; the nose arched and
thin; the mouth cruel and compressed.
the chest and arms to the elbows bare;
the body enveloped in a tattered blue
shirt reaching beneath the knees bare,
scarred legs, the feet treading on grass
sandals, which are held by the toes.
That is a Cabuli beggar, and a most
arrant villain is he, for, maugre his
rags, he conceals a knife, like the test of
his amiable countrymen, and will use it
with the rage of a wolf is he is tempted.
The cooks are glad enough to toss a
kabob or two to gentlemen of his class
The other two roads have no particu
lar characteristics, expecting that they
are a great deal broader than by far the
larger portion of Cabul., Off these four
principal roads numerous dark and filthy
lanes, twisting for a quarter of a mile at
a time, and not more than three feet
broad, shoot at frequent intervals. The
flat-roofed bouses in them are made of
mud, thickly mixed with straw, and the
apartments are dark square holes, much
worse than the much-decried shanties of
Gal way peasants. Men, women and
cniidren sleep together, and never
change their garments till these drop off.
Frequently cattle and fowls are to be
found crowded in these apartments, to
gether witu the human inmates. Such
places are dangerous to all strangers
Not even an unusual parish dog could
stray into them, for he would be worried
by a hundred jealous, big-boned, hungry
curs. In the last British attack on Cabul,
Afghans who preferred "dying like
poisoned rats in a hole," retreated to
their tortuous streets, and many a good
life was lost in hunting them out. Lon

Stonewall Jackson's Daughter.
When the Jackson statue was un vailed in
Richmond some years ago, after the pro
cession and oratory, Governor Kemper
brought forward upon the platform a
slender little girl, and addressing the
great crowd of the old Confederate
soldiers, said: "Comrades, let me pre
sent to you the daughter of Stonewall
Jackson." Somehow the tears sprang to
every eye at the sight of this delicate
child of their restless leader. There was
no cheering, but every face showed a
deep emotion. Ever since that time a
tender and poetic interest has clung to
this little lady, and there are many
thousands who care to know of her well
being. She has recently arrived in Bal
timore under the care of her mother, who
never loses sight of her, and who brings
her to school. They are at present stay
ing with Mis. Hugh Lee at 118 St. Paul
street. .Miss Julia Jackson is about six
teen years old, tall, slender and graceful.
She is a blonde, with fresh color and fair
hair. Her eyes are of exquisite clear
gray, large and expressive. Her man
ners are gentle, but not shy or reserved.
There is not any marked resemblance to
her illustrious father, and she seems
hardly conscious of the distinction that
she enjoys, and the romantic interest that
she carries with her.
Miss Julia Jackson, daughter of
"Stonewall" Jackson is about sixteen
years old, tall, slender and graceful; a
blonde, with fresh color and fair hair.
Her manners are gentle, yet not shy.
The Kuius or tn Tulleries.
It Seems impossible to dispel the idea
that the stability of French forms of Gov
ernment may be promoted by rechristen
ing streets or buildings, opening or clos
ing thoroughfares through palace gar
dens and razing or preserving royal resi
dences. The Fans municpality is now
busy in abolishing all names calling up
monarchial reminiscences. A public
road made two years ago alongside the
Tuileries was exulted over as an ad
ditional impediment to the revival of
royalty, and the razing of the Tuileries
was discussed by the Chamber as though
the permanency or instability of the Re
public were at stake. Some of the
speakers, indeed, adduced aesthetic or
financial arguments, but it was easy to
see that political considerations were up
permost in their minds, for in no other
way can the fact be accounted lor that
the Conservatives were ranged on one
side and the Republicans on the other.
A foreigner might have supposed that
the restoration or the destruction of the
Tuileries was as grave a matter as that of
the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the
captivity, symbolizing, if not a religion
or State, at least a form of government.
The Sanballats of the day were MM.
Proust and Clemenceau. The former
urged that after eight years' indecision,
it was time to remove the rums, that any
remains of interest could be preserved in
the museums, that the present garden
should be extended; and that the Tuil
eries could not be harmonized with the
Louvre without being rebuilt in a dif
ferent style. M. Clement ceau de
nounced the ruins as an insult. Baron
Haussmann, formerly famous for his
demo1itions he protested he had demol
ished only what was mean and insalubri
ous, but he was twitted with mutilating
the Luxembourg gardens was this time
champion of conservation. He regretted
the eight years inaction, but, while dis
claiming any desire for a restoration fit
ting the palace for a royal residence, he
urged the rebuilding of the central por
tion, the galleries of Philibert Delorme,
and the two Medici pavilions as a
museum. This, he said, would not ac
commodate a Sovereign or even a Presi
dent of a Republic, but it would termi
nate the vista from the Arc de Triomphe,
concealing the irregularity of the line be
tween the Arc and Louvre. The Flore
and Marsan pavilions, on each side, im
plied, moreover, an intermediate build
ing, or they would appear like two long
arms an ungraceful spectacle, which
would not be permanently tolerated. The
garden and casts of intereresting frag
ments would cost, moreover, 2,0fJ0,000,
and he deprecated a hasty decision. M.
Rene Bice likewise warned the Chamber
against taking, at four days' notice, an
irrevocable step; but a verdict of "Raze
it; raze it even to the ground," was pro
nounced by 246 to 166. It is to be pre
sumed that the Senate will not decide in
Buch a hurry, and that the Government,
uncountably silent to-day, will then ex
press an opinion. Paris Letter.
Death oe a Berlin Composer. The
musical world and Berlin society have
lost a much-valued ornament in the per
son of Herr Carl Eckert, conductor at
the Royal Opera here, who died very
suddenly last evening at the compara
tively early age of 59. Walking through
the streets to join his wife at the house
of Professor Helmholz, Herr Eckert sud
denly felt very ill, and. hailed a cab to
return home, but was dead before arriv
ing there. Born at Potsdam in 1820, the
son of a Sergeant in the Uhlans of the
Guard, Eckert, while still a mere child
nerformed wonders on the piano and vio
lin, and was regarded as a prodigy by
Berlin society. Before reaching his
tenth year he had completed an opera,
and three years later an oratorio. Men
delssohn gave the lad lessons in compo
sition. In 1851, after Eckert, favored by
wealthy patrons, had gone the artistic
round of nearly all Europe, he became
attached, in a high capacity, to the Ital
ian Opera of Paris, and in 1852 accom
panied Henrietta Son tag to America.
Returning in the same year to Paris as
conductor at the Italian Opera, he went
to Vienna in 1854, where he remained
till 1861 as chief of the Imperial Opera,
and then removed in a similar capacity
to Stuttgart, whence, after a residence of
six years, he was persuaded to come here
as a leader of the orchestra. His opera,
William of Orange, failed to obtain a
permanent place in the royal reportoire,
though as a composer his fame will
doubtless survive in some sweet and
characteristic songs. Berlin Corre
spondence of the London Times.
A pretty shabby looking man walked
into the office of a Western newspaper,
and approaching a man in a red shirt and
top boots, who had his feet on a desk and
his chair tipped back, remarked:
"Are you the editor?"
"I am, , sir; but haven't time to talk.
If you have anything to say, boil it down
to a stickful."
The visitor eyed him sharply for a mo
ment, and then drew a seven shooter
from his pocket and advanced a step or
two. The editor turned pale as death,
when the other said:
"Don't be frightened. I shant hurt
you. I am tired of life, but have too
much self-respect to commit suicide.
Here, take this poem on Spring and this
pistol and do your duty as a citizen who
loves law and a higher standard of litera
ture." His pistol was handed back, also the
poem, and the versifier remarked as he
stepped to the door:
"HI were rich and had everything
necessary to make me happy, and should
offer you an ode on Spring you would
kill me, but now you are too mean to
pull a trigger. I thought I eouldpome
m here and be quietly massacredRit I
can't. You are the most contrary man I
oversaw."
Then he marched out with solemn
grandeur.
"If it was for the years couched upon
his head," wrote the obituary writer; and
then he got right up and howled when
the type-setter rendered it. "If it were
not for his ears he could have stood upon
his head."
Hark Twain In Politics.
The largest political meeting of the
campaign was held in this city by the
Republicans last evening. The Opera
House was densely packed to hear Gen
eral Joseph R. Hawley, of Connecticut.
General Hawley was introduced by Mark
Twain (Samuel L. Clemens) who said:
"I see I am advertised to introduce the
speaker of the evening, General Jlavrley,
of Connecticut, and I see the report that
I am to make a political s peach. Now, I
must say that this is an error. I wasn't
constructed to make stump speeches,
and on that head (politics) I have only
this to say: First, see that you yote.
Second, see that your neighbor votes
Lastly, see that yourself and neighbor
don't scratch the ticket. General Haw
ley" was President of the Centennial Com
mission. He was a gallant soldier in the
war. He has been Governor of Con
necticut, member of Congress, and was
President of the Convention that nomi
nated Abraham Lincoln.
General Hawley That nominated
Grant.
Twain He says it was Grant, but I
know better. He was a member of my
church at Hartford, and the author of
"Beautiful Snow." May be he will deny
that. But I am only here to give him a
character from his last place. As a pure
citizen: I respect him; as a personal
friend of years, I have the warmest re
gard for him; as a neighbor whose vege
table garden adjoins mine, why why, I
watch him. That's nothing; we all do
that with any neighbor. General Haw
ley keeps his promises, not only in pri
vate but in public. He is an editor who
believes what he writes in his own paper.
As the author of "Beautiful Snow" he
has added a new pang to winter. He is
broad-souled, generous, noble, liberal,
alive to his moral and religions responsi
bilities. Whenever the contribution
box was passed I never knew him to take
out a cent. He is a square, true, honest
man in politics, and I must say he oc
cupies a mighty handsome position. He
has never shrinked a duty or backed
down from any position in public life.
He has been right every time, and stood
there. As Governor, as Congressman, as
a soldier, as the head of the Centennial
Commission, which increased our trade
in every port and pushed American pro
duction into all the known world, he has
conferred honor and credit upon the
the United States. He is an American
of Americans. Would we had more
such men! So broad, so bountiful in his
character that he never turned a tramp
empty handed from his door, but always
gave him a letter of introduction to me.
His public trusts have been many, and
never in the slightest did he prove un
faithful. Pure, honest, incorruptible,
that is Joe Hawley. Such a man in poli
tics is like a bottle of perfumery in a glue
factory it may modify the stench if it
doesn't destroy it, And now, in speak
ing thus highly of the speaker of the
evening, I haven't said any more of him
than I have of myself. Ladies and gen
tlemen, this is General Hawley.
Mr. Clemens was frequently inter
rupted by applause and laughter. At
the close of his remarks, General Haw
ley stepped forward, and, for an hour
and a half, spoke on the issues of the
day. Elmira Republican.

Norman Horses for Farm Work.
would say in relation to the Normans, I
have kept them for the last fifteen years
with great success and find them to be
first-class work horses. As to their
standing hard work and hot weather I
can say that I never owned but one
horse his breeding unknown that I
thought was as good as the Norman. I
may differ with some in what a first-class
work or farm horse should be. I want
them to weigh at least fourteen hundred
to fifteen hundred pounds each on short
and well-shaped legs, to feed well and to
walk four miles per hour. Such teams
are found among the Normans more
easily than any oi the breeds of horses
that I know. In Hlinois we have very
warm weather through corn tending and
harvesting. H a horse can stand up to
hard work and thrives, you can calculate
the hot weather does not hurt him. I
have had a great many big days' work
done with my Norman teams. In the
year 1868 I farmed 720 acres and used all
Norman mares to do my work. I had
one team that planted twenty -five and a
half acres of corn in one day, with two
men on .the planter, and sold one of them
the same fall for $600. She was jet black,
and the pair weighed about 3200 pounds.
The Normans are always ready for their
feed. Hard work don t take away their
oppetdte, as it frequently does with many
horses if you give them a hard day's
work. As a rule the Normans are kind
and gentle. Horsemen well know that a
nervous and high strung horse is not as
likely to stand hard work as those which
are mild in temper. The Normans are
essentially mild tempered, and it is a rare
thing to find one with a spavin or ring
bone. They are very close jointed and
compactly built, making them less likely
to set blemished than if loosely built.
AsTo their traveling I think they can go
off ten or fifteen miles and back as quick

a Norman further in two hours than I
ever did any other horse. Prairie

A Reminiscence op Webster's Reply
to Hayne. James Watson Webb writes
as follows to the New York Times: I
have just read with pleasure your notice
of the late John Gales, so long the vet
eran of the press, and of his accomp
lished and estimable widow, recently de
ceased. You mention the fact that Mr.
Gales reported Mr. Webster's great
speech in reply to Hayne, in relation -to "
which the following incident, stated to
me by Mr. Webster and confirmed by
Mr. Gales, may be of interest: "I had
no idea," said Mr. Webster, "of the great
importance which would be attached by
tae public to my reply to Mr. Hayne,
i and I was not in the habit, up to that
i period, of making full notes, as at pres
ent. Consequently, when my mends,
with great unanimity, demanded the
publication of the speech, I was quite
unable to gratify them. I had observed,
however, that during the delivery of the
speech my friend Gales had taken notes
of it, and I applied to him to know if he
could aid me. He expressed his regrets
that I had not made the application
sooner, and added that he did take full
notes of the speech, but it was in short
hand, and unfortunately he could not
! decipher his own short-hand after an in
terval of a few days. Of course I was
annoyed and felt that the speech was
lost, just when the public, by their ap
preciation of it, had made me appreciate
it. Mr. Gales perceived my annoyance,
and said, 'It has frequently occurred
that, when I could not decipher my
short-hand notes,- Mrs. Gales could.
Give me your brief notes and I'll place
them with my full short-hand notes in
the hands of Mrs. Gales and see what she
can do for us. The result is my pub
lished speech in reply to Mr. Hayne,
which I bad not estimated very highly,
but which I now consider one of my best
efforts. Its preservation is due solely to
Mrs. Gales."
Tragic Love Stories. What a place
Rome is for sad love stories. Here is the
last. A young workman on a railway
was about to get married. The very day
before that set apart for the wedding he
was run over by an engine and killed.
No sooner did the girl hear this than she
laid herself down across the tracks with
the hope of being killed in her turn. But
she had only an arm crushed. The arm
had to be amputated, and she bore the
operation like a soldier. She told the
surgeons all the while that it was no use,
that she could not live now that her lover
was dead. They gave no heed to such
ravings. When nobody was looking she
removed the bandages and bled to death.
Here is an American story to match it.
Miss Lily George, pupil of the Cincin
nati College of Music, aged 18, was to b
married to Fred. Ferriman. Saturday
morning he was taken with congestive
chills, and died in the evening. She at
tended him faithfully during his illness,
and before he died said: "Good-bye,
Fred., we will not be separated long."
Sunday morning she placed the muzzle
of a pistol over her left breast and fired.
There was very little hope of her re
covery. Corns in Horse's Feet. Corns are
the result of a bruise of the sensitive
part of the sole of the horse's foot, and
generally occur at the inside heel. They
are caused by the shoe. Among the
symptoms are redness or discoloration
of the horn at the inner angle of the
heel, more or less increased loeai heat,
tenderness, and consequent lameness.
When standing the horse is inclined to
favor the foot by slightly raising the
the heel from the ground. In soma
cases active inflamation and suppuration
may ensue, evidenced by the escape of
matter above the hoof, where the hairs
join the same. In ordinary cases relief
may be obtained by proper attention to
the shoeing. Such a horse should be
shod regularly every three or four
weeks, tke diseased parts carefully pared
down, but without starting the blood;
and the shoe should be affixed so as not
to bear on the inside heel.
