At War with Afgha ntstan.

By the convenient means Of pub
fishing despatch from Lord Gran
brook, the Indian Secretary, TO Lord
Lytton, the English government de-
clares how and why it finds itself to-day
at war with Afghanistan. It seems that
'in the course of human events" some five
years ago the Aneer asked England in
Russian invasion. The Russian outposts
were then so far away from India that Eng
land turned deaf ear. When, however,
it was found that Russia had been gobbling
up Turkestan and had sent an envoy to
Cabul the India Office dug up the old
on answer, whose alleged terms can
be found elsewhere. The whole trouble
has arisen out of the impossibility
of getting this long delayed answer
to Cabul. The Ameer had found
the Russians to be quite respectable
asking, what he had been vainly seeking
south of the Hindoo Koosh. 1t was
now England's turn to insist. Never
was politeness SO thrust upon an
astonished barbarian; but he was obdurate.
Then came anger, injured dignity and
an ultimatum. Unless he apologized and
received permanent British guest at
his court he was to be considered
a declared enemy The barbarian has
held his peace, and consequently, as the
time for an answer expired yesterday, finds
himself at war. All the London news
papers sing battle hymns and the troops
arc ordered TO advance. They are in ''splen-
did spirits" The ''spirited foreign policy"
has brought them war at last. Now let us
see how the silent barbarian will receive
his uninvitcd guests.

THE BONANZA BOSS"
From the Paris Figaro.


Who is the richest man in the world is
no longer an enigma
i, was only fiji that Paris should this year
number among her guests Mr.. John Will
liam Mackay, Of Virginia City, United
States, and that It's Exhibition should be
visited by the most powerful representa-
tive on record Of the kingdom of gold and
silver. Born in Dublin in 1885 Mr. Mack.
ay went 10 America when quite youth,
and was first employed in large ship
building house in New York. Toward the
end Of 1852, soon after the discovery of
gold, he sailedIfor California in a vessel
built by his late employer, and reached
there in the winter Of that year.
Having natural inclination for everything
connected with the mining he Immediately
adopted II as profession, meeting with all
the hartships and ups and downs that are
part and parcel Of It's ways. Commencing
his career in Sierra county where he re-
NAMED several years, he at length made a
raise" and started for Virginia City, Here
his funds ran out, and he worked for some
time timbering the Mexican mine AT 81 a
stated tnat about this period Mr.. Mackey
was frequently saying that if he could only
get together $4,000 to make the declining
years Of his dear mother comfortable, his
greatest ambition in life would he obtained.
Besct by various changes of fortune he
ultimately, in 1868, became associated
with Mr. r. NJ. Walker, and to this firm
was added, in 1868, Messrs. Flood an d
O'Brien, remaining SO until 1868, when
Mr., Walker retiring, Mr.. replaced him,
The stupendous wealth Of these four enter.
prising men then became manifest. They
having secured the Hale and Norcross, one
Of the Bonanza mines, were enabled 10 pro.
cure Others, finally purchasing the Consoli.
dated Virginia ground for about $4,000.
Further acquisitions of territory resulted in
in their obtaining that marvellous deposit Of
ore known as the Comstock lode. With
their constantly increasing capital, and the
active and incessant efforts made
10y Mr. Msckay and his partners,
the wonderful Bonanza mines
were eventually opened to the astonished
world. Mr.. Mackay has three.eights OF
the profit derived from them, and yearly
adds to his overlooking eXchequer the al
most fabulous sum of $4,000, 600 francs
This is calculated to bring him in exactly
l25 francs minute, 1900 francs an hour
and 10000 francs day. Little over AZ
years OF age, Mr.. Mackay is still in the
prime of life, has a handsome, commanding
face, splendid physique, and fine presence
and, whether among his miners, in the
society Of the elite, or IN the bosom of his
friends and family, we view in the Boss
of the Big Bonanza all those attribute,
