CHAN England var being turned to ac-
count in more quarters than one by her
statesmen.n
As to Russia's purse in the matter
the Golos observes: "Russia may pos
sibly keep quiet while the English re-
main at Quettah. But II the English
advance in the direction of Ghuznee
and Candabar, things assume a very
different complexion. If the occupa-
tion of these points renders India more
defensible, it likewise facilitates an at
tack upon Russian Turkestan. II the
English go to Candahar, there is no
doubt that the Afghan question will
lead to further complications. Indeed,
such complications are to be desired in
the Russian interest"
Add to these utteranoes the fact that
Gen. Ven Kaufman, the Russian mill
tary governor of Turkestan has sent
troops and munitions to the ameer, and
the complications Of the Asiatic ques-
ton are plainly Swallowed. As yet the
English have encountered only native
Afghansin their march into the enemy's
country. They may, ere long, come in

BROKEN IMAGES.

Every little while there arises an
iconoclast who destroys many Of the
worlds choicestidols. The latest is Prof.
Wheeler, who lectured before the alum
nj Of Yale college. Among other his
torical images he essayed to smash are
reported the following: The famous
saying attributed to Louis XIV. Of
France, "L'etat c'est MOL" was never
uttered by Louis at all, but was said
by Mazarin twenty years before Louis
came to the throne, and said before
Mazarin by Queen Elizabeth. Sappho
" killed herself by jumping from a
rock, but died a natural death. Leoni-
das fought at Thermopyle, not with
only 300 at his back, but with 1000.
The philosopher Diogenes never lived
in a tub. The story Of the virtues of the
Roman matron, Lucretia, must be re-
jected, while the story of the Horatii
and Curatii is worse than doubtful.
The sons of Brutus were not the VIC
Tins of their fathers firmness but of
his brutality. 1t was utterly impossi-
bic for Hannibal to have followed up
his victory at Gamma, and the story of
his using vinegar to cleave the rocks
Of the Alps is absurd. So, too, is the
story OF Cleopatra dissolving a
pearl in q goblet Of vinegar and drink
ing up a fortune at n draught. Ar
chimedes never said, ''Give me a lever
long enough and 1 will nov the
world" nor did he cry out, "Eureka!''
at any known period of his life or dis
coveries, nor was the Alexandrian Ii
brary burnt. No more did Calico say,
''And yet it moves, for all thatl''
since it is proved from authentic docu-
ments that he did not dare to. That
Columbus broke the end of an egg and
thus confuted his Knockers is fabulous,
as also is the story that he encouraged
his followers with brave words when
the shores Of San Salvador were still out
of sight. Richard ILL.,, Of England, did
not kill his brother Clarence, and the
story about a butt of Malmsey arose from
the fact that the body of Clare who
died a natural death, was transported
from Calais to England in q wine-butt.
Charles II. never had the body Of
Cromwell taken from Westminster Alb
hey and hanged at Tyburn, for the
daughter Of Cromwell, apprehensive of
some such ill-treatment had her faith
