The massacre of CabuI.

Cabul, the scene of the recent butch
cry of the British Ambassy by the Af-
ghans, is a city with remarkable re-
cord of massacres, especially of ambas-
-sadors from foreign courts. It became
the capital of ofAfghanistan in 1923. Dur
ing the reign of the great Mogul Akbar
it was attached to the Indian empire for
fifty years, during which half century
it murdered two Indian governors, with
all the persons of their court. In 1869
it murdered its own sovereign, burning
him alive in his palace, with his house
hold. In 1875 an ambassador of the
Shah of Persia, Mahomed Mira Kahn,
was surprised in his residence in the
capital and put to death, together with
all his embassy, after which the dead
bodies were dragged through the streets
of the city. Not long after Persian
army sent to avenge the outrage stormed
the city and beheaded several thousands
of its Inhabitants. On November Q,
lS41, the mob of Cabul assassinated Sir
Alexander Burnes, his son and another
officer. The whole town rose against
the English resident, his followers were
massacred, and he himself was shot,
his body being dragged, like that of
Mira Kahn, about the streets, and
treated with indignity. When the En-
glish re-entered the town they burnt the
great bazar in which the bodies of the
murdered English had been exposed

An Arizona Carnival.

A correspondent of the Los Angeles
EGpresS, writing from Tucson, Arizona,
thus describes the manner of celebrating
a fiesta in that town: These .feStds are
the relic of n fast departing barbarism
and more like the mad revels of the wild
Indians or of lunatics than of supposedly
sensible persons. Yet here nightly you
would have seen congregated at this i'm
moral exhibition those who put on the
airs of gentility and want to rank as the
elite of the lana. Here are ladies dressed
in silk, their hands glittering with dia-
monds Husbands represent some of the
heaviest business houses) sitting for
hours alongside of Chinamen and the
lowest of the Mexican herd, playing
chuses or roulette, trying to win the
common herds money, and by some in
scrutable freak of the tickle goddess they
and the Cinnamon won nearly all the
money. Picture to yourself some eighty
canvas houses, of all sizes and shapes,
surrounding four sides of square, in
the center of which is IL large canvas
tent, which is used for dancing on the
sand. When the fiesta is in full blast,
between the horrid din, the dust and the
weird, fitting figures, you can safely
imagine yourself in pandemonium. The
rest of the tents are occupied by whisky
shops and gambling tables, of which
some forty are in full blast, harvesting
fools money. Here are nightly gathered
together from 1000 to 1000 people of all
classes, nations and colors, who walk,
gamble, drink, dance and howl like a
pack of coyotes. All other business has
had TO succumb to it.

A New Breed of Horses,

The Nubians, who have recently ar
rived ut the Paris Jardin d. Acclima-
ton, have brought with them several
animals which are likely to excite much
interest with biologists, among them
being mare of the Abyssinian noun
tain breed and three stations from Don
COLA. Bruce, in his travels, saw these
Dongola horses, which, according to
some authorities, are not of African orr
gin, but of Arab descent, having been
introduced into the country at the time
of the Mussulman conquest. The Don
COLA horses are, for the most part, on
the big side, averaging sixteen hands.
Their powerful characteristics are a
loug and well-set neck and good shoul-
ders and forelegs; but they are in
clined to be tride tlat-sided. They
are endowed with great stamina and
make excellent war horses. The breed
is to be found in the deserts of Alfalfa,
Yerra and Dongola, in which latter dis
trict the largest are bred. They are
generally bay, black or white; but one
never sees a gray. Mr.. Hoskins says
that the best horses of this breed arc
black, with white feet and legs. They
cost from $3.50 to $3.50, and some years
back one of them was sold ut Cairo fol

Curious Facts.

Man has the power of initiating al
most every motion but that of fight.
To effect this, he has in maturity and
health sixty bones in his head, sixty in
mis- thighs and legs, sixty-two in his
arms and hands, and sixty-seven in his
trunk. He has also 434 muscles. His
heart makes sixty-four pulsations in a
minute, and therefore 2,S4o in an hour.
and 90, l6o in day. AS to the speed of
animated beings, size and construction
seem to have little influence. The sloth
is by no means small animal, and yet
it can travel only fifty PAGES in day; a
seconds, but a ladybird can fly twenty
million times its own length in less than
an hour. An elk can run mile and a half
i'm seven minutes an antelope mile in
minute; the wild ass of Tartar has
speed even greater than that. An eagle
can fly eighteen leagues in an hour. A
violent winds travels sixty to seventy
miles an hour.

A WOman's Work In Paris.

The Christian Union reports great
work among the English shop-girls of
Paris, conducted by Miss Ida Leigh. In
1868, having become interested in girls Of
this class, she started Bible-class for
them, which soon had sixty-four atten-
dants. The Franco German war inter-
rupted her projects, but at its close she
returned to Paris; and, shortly after, a
girl who had attended heI meetings, gave
her franc wrapped up in a piece of
paper upon whicn were written the
words: 1.-THE gift of faith and love for
girls home in paris" This incident de-
termined her to carry into execution a
long cherished plan, and, on the Goth of
December, 1872, she opened a home with
twelve beds. In five days the beds were
all occupied and the number was soon
increased to thirty. At this point tile
French law, which forbade the ca rying
on of charitable work in apartments,
compelled her to secure other accommo-
dations. She selected suitable building,
and, before the time of payment arrived,
secured the $50, 900 for its purchase. AS
result of her efforts there are now five
separate Homes, with sanitarium at the
top of each for the sick. Provision is
also made for the care of the young chill
dren of English mothers who IRE com
PEELED to work during the day. Re-
ligious services are held morning and
evening; ten mission meetings are con-
Quoted every Sunday in different parts of
the city, besides regular church service.
Sixteen hundred girls have enjoyed the
privileges of the Home; and, in connec-
ton with it, two establishments where
food is supplied every Sunday, to shop
girl: free of charge, are carried on: M,
hospital built by him, but paid the heavy
fees for conveyancing. There are now
one hundred and thirty girls at the Home,
and Miss Leigh has recently made an ap.
peal for aid in carrying out her large and
| beneficent charity.
