The HoMEL1Esr MAN IN THE World.
"A fow years ago there lived in an
adjoining county q physician, who,
though not i'm Adonis, was not the
less respected for his professional
attainments than. admired for his
social qualities. On one OCCASION,
afteru consultation in q neighbor
ing county, and while at dinner
with his host, he asked him if he
ever saw his (the doctor's) wife, md
was answered in tho negative:
"Then," said tho doctor, "will you
do me the favor to cnll on her. the
first time you 60 to town 2" Ger
tainly, sir, if you wish it, said the
host i'll some surprise, "but why ?"
"Why,' repeated tho doctor, "why
because my wife insists that I mn
the homeliSst nan in tho world, and
ono looA at you will convince hor of
hor mistake. "--Binghamptom Re-

That Great Britain has sont an
army into Afghanistan, readers Of
recent cable dispatches know; but
tho reason for this attack end it's
probable result are not so clear.
Afghanistan is a mountainous tori
tory in Asia important only because
it separates British India from
Russian territory. Both Great
Britain and Russia look with jealous
eyo upon tho Alnoer of C;.bool. and
whenever he smiles Oh England
Russia gets mad, while the }east CO.
quetting with Russia drives Eng
land to despotism. Of lat, the
Amecr has been too friendly with
Russia, and he brought matters to a
climax by refusing to receive an
English envoy. Bcaconsfield has
therefore decided to whip him into
friendship. The Afghans are war;
like race, and have all the advanta~
gos Of position. Onco before, Eng
land found tholn too much. She
overran Afghanistan forty years ago,
but found she had caught tartar
indeed. So after two years of occu-
patton. and after having an army or
two cut up by way of diversion
John bull took tho back track to
Indria. AT the present writing tho
English claim to be carrying every
thing before them, but their bulletins
read like one of Con pope's disputch-
es during the late war, or tho
Tri6une's reports the dsy after IN
election. Many leading English
men think that Boaconsfeld has
blundored, and that Russia will step
in if necessary, just US England
stepped in to save the Sultan.
Sir George Canpcll, ex-governor Of
Bengal, and Il member Of Parliament,
says that Afghenistan is equal to
three Bosnias without q Christian
population to assist, and he is utter
ly opposed to raising the animosity
of her brave people. AS Beaconsiield,
however, has been overwhelmed
with abuse at every step, and has
gono on stAAdil y winning fresh
laurels, it is bottor to defer judg-
ment until the position OF tho con-
tonding parties and Of Rlssi ia can
DO moro clearly defined.
GOVERNOR HAs1pro1' KIND HEART.
~Halnptons feeling for
the colored race is illustrated by u
writor in tho Springfield Repubti-
can, wEo declares that the Governor
is "all soul" This writor says that
Hampton, when riding, during the
last campaign among the rico
fields, had his carriage stopped by
a furious colorc1 vino held IL pine
knot in her hand, and swore she'd
kill him. ''Tne Governor took ;. IS
note and handed it to tho wretch.
She gazod 1T him and then at lis
money. 'Aunty,' no said, 'thnt is
not to buy your vote; women cant
vote What is it for2' asked the
stupefied woman. Il, as child,
slept many an hour in my old col
orcd nurses arms, and [ feel kind
for your race. l am your friend,
woman, but you do rot know it.
Tears ran down that swarthy face +;
She run to the field near by with all
hor speed, and led her husband
back by the hand. 'Man, she srid,
Governor Hampton glb me dis sS5.

the DnIias Fair Assoc,a,lon.

The convention held at Houston, on
May lat, for the purpose Of forming a
circuit Of fairs, was timely and wise
action upon the part Of the different
associations who were represented on
that occasion. Such concert of action
cannot but prove of mutual profit to
them. Captain Swink, who represent.
cd the association from this place, has
taken considerable interest In the mat
ter nom It's very commencement, and
has, by his energetic workings, placed
Dallas at the head of the list. Our fair
is the first in the circuit, commencing
on the 3Oth Of September, and ending
October 9Th. The other associations
that have entered into the arrange.
ments will come in the following or.
der: Marshall, Tyler, Austin, Hous-
ton, San Antonio and Victoria. Sufh-
cient interval will be given between
the expiration of one association and
the beginning of another to give
exhibitors ample time to get in
readiness. This harmonious arrange
ment will cause q much larger attend,
ance, while it will enable exhibitors
to show at each of them. The premi-
ums for the Dallas Fair association
will consist for the most part In mon
ey, and will be larger than those OF
last wear. The association will meet
ia the next few days to make neces.
sary arrangements.

INIsnt Associated Press Report.I

Notwithstanding the silence of the
st. Petersburg semi-oificial press, there
is little doubt but the following dis
patch represents the present views OF
the imperial court and chancellory;
"Complete secrecy is maintained in
regard to Count Schouvalof's reports
to the emperor and the conference at
the foreign office. Strict silence upon
the subject also appears to have been
imposed upon the semi.ofiicial organs
In order that previous to Count Schouv-
aloffs return to London no unneces-
sary discussion may arise between the
Russian and foreign press to disturb or
injuriously affect the evident concil-
iatory intentions apparent In the In
tercourse between England and Rus
sia.n
1t is assumed that Count Schouvalofl
will leave st. Petersburg at the end Of
the week to return to London, after
making short stay in Berlin.
Notwithstanding the secrecy, it IL
known that the independence Of the
Christians will be insisted on. There
is on the other hand, no disposition to
inscretie noH me Jdrgere on the map Of
New Bulgaria, which was only set W
as provisional draft. AT the same
time other compensations than those
fixed upon in lieu of war indemnify
are not regarded as excluded from dis
cussion. While 1t is declared Their
can be absolutely no serious idea of tn
retrocession OF Kars, the same is no
true of Batoum. The advantage to Rus

to have its reverse side, inasmuch a
