1t is rumored that an advance on
JellaIabad has been ordered, and
that the Ameer of Afghanistan has
fed TO Turkistan.
The reply of the Amer OF Al
rhanistan to the Viceroy of midas
ultimatum has been received by the
Indian Government. The Ameer'
in acknowledging the receipt OF the
ultimatum, criticizes the processes
friendly intentions OF the British
Government, and aliudes to its action
in the past. especially its lnterces
sion in behalf OF Yakoob Khan, as
contradictory of such intentions
The Ameer explains that his refusal
to receive General Sir Neville Cham.
berlain's mission was not intenGed
to be hostile, but arose from fear
of the loss of his Independence, an
apprehension which was confirmed
bv the allusion in the ultimatum to
protection being given to the khy-
berees who had been engaged 10 es-
corting the mission. The Ameer
declares that no enmity exists be-
tween Afghanistan and the British
government: that he desires to re-
sumo the former friendly relations.
and, finally, that he will not resist
the visit Of small temporary mis-
sion.

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

The report Of the Commissioner
of Lands as presented to Congress
through the Secretary of the Int
rior. shows that during the past year
nearly eight and three quarter mil
ffons of acres OF the public domain
have been disposed Of, more than
half Of which has been taken up I'M
der the provisions Of the Home
stead Law" OF the remainder 87o,'
555 acres have been sold for cash,
and the rest, absorbed under The
provisions Of special acts of Con-
gress for particular purposes, nearly
1000 600 acres having been entered
under the law OF Congress which
provides that any person who shall
plant and cultivate acreage OF TIM
her. shall be entitled to enter quar-
ter section of land, and receive a
patent therefor at the expiration of
q specified time, in return for so do
inc. Some idea Of our vast area OF
public lands may be formed from the
statement, derived from the same
source, that although nearly $780,
OOO, 900 acres Of the pnblic lands
have heretofore been surveyed and
placed upon the market, there yet
remains to be surveyed over l,OOO,-
100000 acres. BY far, the larger
portion of this amount is of compar.
atively little value for agricultural
purposes, but there is still vast
area OF we'll timbered and fertile
lands, which will in time be peopled
by prosperous settlers, whose pro
ductions will add largely to the ma
tional wealth.

THE AFGHAN WAR.

General Roberts telegraphs from
Peiwar-K hotal as follows:
During the night Of December l
tue Afghan position was turned by
a flank march over the Spengwai
Pass. We surprised the enemy at
daybreak on the 81 inst, when the
72d Higblanders and the 9Th Goork-
has CALAMITY drove the Afgbans
from several positions They after
ward endearored to reach Peiwar-
Khotal, but the assault could not be
delivered on that side. We then
threatened the enemy in the rear,
and attacked and carried Peiwar-
Khotal at about 4 o'clock in the af-
ternoon. The enemy had, on the
previous evening. received reinforce
ments of four regiments. They
fought desperately. Their artillery
was well served; their defeat, how
ever, was complete. We captured
Is guns and large quantity of am
munition. Our loss was moderate,
considering the number OF our OPP
ponents. and the difficult nature Of
the COuHbFys MAYOR AuA6ESOBy OA
the Pioneers, was killed. General
Cobhe and Lieutenant Munro, Of the
.72d Highlanders, were wounded.
Oar men behaved admirably. We
shall move toward the Shutar-garden
Pass on Thursday the 9th inst.
The enemy's loss Is heavy. The
British loss is 80 killed and wound
ed. ~
Detailed reports of the fighting 10
the Peiwar Pass show that the AT
ghans, who were posted in some
pine woods, resisted General Rob
errs second movement on Peiwar-
Khotal most obstinately. Some
times they even assume the often
sive, bard pressing the most advane-
ed troops until reinforcements came
up. Not single body of the Az
ehans remained unbrokeE at the end |
or the day. TIE English lost ten
killed and eight wounded.

CHRISTMAS CHIMES.

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here see no more;
Ring out the feud Of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out slowly-dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sveeter manners, purer laws.
Ring ont the want the care, the sin,
The faithless eoIdness of the times,
Ring out, ring out, my mournful rhymes
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
che civic SANDER and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring ia the common love Of good.
Ring cut old shapes of foul disease,
Ring cut the narrowly lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars Of old,
King in the the thousand years Of peace.
Ring In the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness Of the land,
Ring in the Christ that is to be.

THE CIRCULATING MEDIUM.

amount OF circulating mcAluA albCl
Jan. /, 1879. We think these tables
will be found accurate. 1t is not
possible, perhaps, to predict the ex-
act effect, but the last table seems
to indicate an easier money market:
Our currency was at it's maximum
os volume in 1865. when President
Lincoln died. The quantity and de-
scription at that moment has been
declared at the Treasury 10 this
wise:
State bank circulation. $142, 919 ,638
National bank circulation, 146, 137 500

Fractional currency. 25,OO5, 02o
1888, 31s, 6S5
Geld value of above. 692, 256, 354
Then was the perfect fruition Of
imitation. If we take the same de-
scription of circulation for subse-
quent years, the total sum Of it and
the increase or reduction of it can
be seen at glance:

We have not met with q statement
of the possibilities of our circulation
which will be in the hands of the
Treasury if Mr.. Sherman's plan pros
pers. But the following is, we think,
a fair exhibition of it:
State bank circulation....$ 426.5O4
National bank notes, inelud-
inc gold notes. .......... 3a2, 400, RS
Demand notes. 81, O65

aforesaid ...-.-.....---- SS,U9U, ooI
Total . s1,U44, 589, 994
The World further explains these
figures:
lit be said that State bank notes,
demand notes, one and two year
notes and compound-interest notes
ought not TO be counted as "circuIa-
ting, that no one can tell accurate
ly how much of coins are in the
country and that bullion should not
be included, then this will be the
statement:
National bank notes, etc. 1922, AGO, 715

This still shows an amount Of pos
sible circulation not far short of thai
of 1865.
But, In considering this element
it must be remembered that the
World always gives q rose color tc
national bank circulation and to the
amount or the present circulating
medium.

The First Days Sport at the Annual Meet
of the st. Paul Sportsmen's Club.
Yesterday, the first day of the third annual
shooting tournament of the st. Paul Sports
mems club, opened with bright sunshine and a
brisk breeze, but with not SO much of the lat
ter as to materially affect the shooting. As the
day wore on, it became excessively warm, and
then it was that the benefit of the wind began
to be appreciated. Altogether the day was
propitious enough until o'clock in the after
noon: when a thunder storm, accompanied by a
violent down-pour of rain, came up, which
efectually closed the days proceedings. The
attendance was good, there being quite num-
Der of the Milwaukee Merchants association
present and several ladies.
The shooting set for the day consisted Of ten
single rises at twenty-one yards, for which five
prizes were offered, under: S75, $45, $50,
$15, and 1000 shells donated by the Metropoli-
tan hotel. Appended is given the score, which
exhibits some remarkably fine shooting, and it
may be added, some that was remarkably bad
