A venomous Battle.

A short time ago one OF our young
men conceived the idea Of getting a Ia.
rantula and pittins him against Mr..
Smiths scorpion in m open hght. The
tarantula was procured recently, and
both venemous creatures were placed in
q large tin box. In an instant they made
q dart at each other. and were rolling
over and over until they brought up
against the side Of the box. Then they
settled down to business. The tarantula,
being much larger than his antagonist,
made great efforts to crush him in his
strong embrace, but without success.
Then he piled his sting. aud kept the
scorpion pretty busy. who relied upon
his sac Of poison and his hostile claws
for victory. He seemed to prefer to
keep underneath the taran,ula, and Lying
on his back he covered the enemy with
bites and poison. The fight lasted about
ten minutes, and ended In favor OF the
scorpion. About an hour afterwards
the tanntula died. but the scorpion Is
still fresh for another battle. -E'usku

rnE AFGHAN VA. ENDED.

As will be seen by reference to our
telesraphic columns to-day. the war in
Afshanis,an is virtually ended. letter
from the viceroy Of India announces
tho receipt from shere Ali the Ameer's
answer to the viceroy's ultimatum. II
concludes with the declaration that he
.ntertains no enmity toward the British
Government ; that he desires to resume
former friendly relations. and will not
resist the visit Of the British mission to
Cabool.
As to the s for this war. and in
fact whether there was any good honest
u on the part Of the English
Government for declaring war. and carry.
ing death and desolation into the land and
homes Of the Afghans. lisa question very
seriously considered by other nations.
The real aspect Of antagonism seems
to have been between England aud
Russia. England assumed the often
sivs. and the Afghan protest and def
ance was as that OF a poodle against q
bulldog. Russia did not actively inter-
fere. in fact hardly had time to inter-
fers before the war. so suddenly COM
menced. anne to a summary end.
The result was what might have been
expected; the march Of the English
troops was merely a succession OF tri.
umphs. and the miserable Afghan soldiery
were summarily slaughtered. trsmpled
under foot or dispersed like 20 many
frightened sheep. Even tho natural and
almost impossible defences OF the coun-
try were abandoned one after the other
in dismay. at the first onslaught OF the
British troops. The inefficient. un-
skilled Afghan soldiers. with their equal
ly inefficient officers, could not make
any sort Of successful stand against the
indomitable. well handled aud oficored
English forces. supplied with all
the appliances Of modern improved war
fare; therefore retreat and final submits
sion was their only course. They
showed their willingness to fight, also
their inability. II the war is really ter
minated. it's well. and all good Christian
people will rejoice, even though it has
ended in Amser fzzle. But the best
