The Viceroy of India telegraphs,
under the date of December 81,
details of the Ameer's withdrawal
from Cabul. The Ameer held q
durbar December 10, when it was
resolved that after the fall of Ali
Musjid snd Peiwar no further re-
lance could be placed on his troops
or resistance offered. The Amesr
therefore concluded to seek Rus
sian protection and place his case
before a European congress, leav-
ing Yakoob Khan, his son, in
charge. A Reuter- telegram from
Calcutta says that General Roberts
finding the hostile tribes collected
in considerable numbers, attacked
them with three small colunans, and
was completely victorious. Forty
troops of Punjaub cavalry charged
a mass of the enemy, killing nearly
three hundred. Skirmishers of the
Tenth Hussars drove the enemy
from Brouen Gromo. One hum
dred prisoners, a quantity of.grain
and large number of cattle were
captured. The British loss was
trifing. The victory is expected
to have great moral effect.
The Viceroy OF India telegraphs
confirming the news of, General
Roberts victory over the hostile.
tribes. but says that owning to ru-
mors of threatened attacks by the
Mongols, General Roberts intends
to return to Koorum, concentrat-
ing his forces, which are now much
scattered. Friendly letters have
been received from several Sirdars
of Cabul. The general feeling in
Afghanistan is very strong against
the Ameer and Russia.

The question is often asked,
"What is the use of pair ? 1t is
scarcely conceivable that the in
Fiction has no object" There are
obviously two aspects of this ques-
ton +: In one, science has an inn
mediate interest; with the other it
has a secondary, but not unim-
portant concern. The first is es-
ssntialiy physical. What useful
service does the pain subserve in
the animal economy? The answer
is thrust upon us by daily observa-
ton and experience. There are
two sentinels posted, so to say,
about the organism to protect it
alike from the assault of enemies
without, and exscting friends with
in. The first of these guardians
IS the sense of fatigue. When this
speaks there is need of rest for re-
pair. If the monitor be UNDECIDED,
exhaustion may supervene; or be-
fore that point of injury is reached
the second guardian will, perhaps,
interpose for the vital protection
namely, pain. The sense of pain,
however, is more directly signifi-
cant of injury to structure, active
or threatened, than an excessive
strain of function, although in the
case of the vital organs pain oc-
ours whenever the pressure is
great. Speaking generally, it may
be set down as an axiom that
whatever collateral uses pain may
subserve, its chief and most Obvi-
GUS service to humanity is as de-
terrent and warning sensation to
ward off danger. 1t is worthy of
note, though sufficiently familiar
to medical observers. that the alb
sence OF this subjective symptom
in cases of severe injury is too Of
ten indicative of an injury beyond
repair. The extinction of pain is
not the highest, although it may
be generous impulse. Ii there
were no guardian sensibility of this
nature it would be impossible to
live long in the world without self
inflicting the most formidable in
juries. That pain, in the second
place, has an educational value as
regards the mind and temper no
one can doubt. Some forms of
pain would seem to be chiefly in
tended for this purpose: bat even
in this view pain has q practical
interest, because the higher de-
velopment of the mind and of
which the brain is the formative
organ, is a process Of physicoment-
al interest governed by natural
laws, of which science is perfectly
competent to the cognizance. The
subject as q whole is one with
which the physician and physiolo-
gist have much concern.-London
Times.

There is perhaps nothing Of ma
tional interest in the message of
the Governor of Delaware, Of
which we print a full synopsis, but
it is q very simple and straightfor-
ward statement of the affairs of
State which, despite the sarcasms
which is sometimes aimed ct it ON
account of its size, manages to give
its people asgood a government at
as little cost as any commonwealth
on earth. 1t is State also in which
the thought or suggestion Of finan-
cial dishonor would not be enter
tanned by O single decent citizen.
AS story of good government in
this era OF i'll government it strikes
us as well worth publishing, es-
pecially as It is that of the one
State in the Union which has been
for years unanimously Democratic
in every department of its govern
ment, having not q single Repnbli-
can In its Legislature or in any
State or county Office within its
borders.
