KABUL AND ITS PEOPLE.
An Unattractive apital and its Re.
pulsive DeniZens.
lInndnn Standard

London Standard
The diversified crowds of people that
surge through the streets of kabul agree
in way. At night, when the narrow
bazars are aglow with the reflected light
of oil in little metal wick-lamps, ignited
cotton floating in earthenware saucers, or
the wood-fires of the cooks, the Ferghanee
has no objection to sit side by side with
the Bokharian on the low, open verandah
of the cooks shop; and on the same
platform with the seething fesh-pot
in the center, containing Jumps
of meat skewered upon a stick,
representatives of twenty different No
hammedan nationalities are content to
sit together on terms of equality, and af-
terward to exchange the hookha and the
national love-song and the romance of
chivalry and theft. Our native agents
who have lived IN Kabul, representing
the Government Of Indii in fitful fash
ion, have limited at crimes being frequent
ly committed in the bazars; and as the
Kabuli woman is celebrated IN Eastern
song for her eyes, her height, her olive
skin, her long, black haii and her gal
lantry, though never for her love of
washing, it is easy to zee how such hot
bed of unthinking passion as Kabul is
might become hot bed also for assassin
alton and counter-assassination.
The Kabulis have no known police,
and it is believed that the inhabitants
would object to the introduction of con-
scientious individuals Of that class, be-
cause they would interfere with ancient
prerogatives. Troops are employed as
revenue collectors at different times of
the year, and as they collect revenue for
themselves as well as for the State, the
Kabuli cherishes a hatred toward all rev.
enue collectors unless he happens to be
one himself. -..
Like other Oriental towns, Kabul is
filthy. Sanitation is not even dream
with the inhabitants There are four
principal roads, which are from thirty to
forty feet broad, and these are considered
the handsomest streets.
One is the Great Bazaar, or Charcutta,
composed of one-story mud houses, which
have verandas, slightly elevated above
open CUTTERS, opening full upon the
streets. The verandas become shops in
the daytime, and are stored with speci
mems Of all the furs, silks, and wool and
hair cloths that Central Asia produces
In the evening, three or four cronies sit
on mat in almost every shop, set Q
lamp in their midst, fold their feet, put
on their skull-caps, and smoke and tell
stories till midnight. Another great
bazar, leading from the Western Gate to
the Bala Hissar is moDopolized by cook
and butchers.
Heads and carccsses are suspended
The Cincinnati daily star. [volume] ([Cincinnati, Ohio]) 1875-1880, 1879-10-30

there in plenty, but no trace of the un-
clean animal, the pig, is described. II is
in this bazar, by oil-iight, that some Of
the most picturesque-looking rufians in
the work may be seen. Observe this one.
A man over six feet high; his head conf
calshaped, the jet-black hair close cut,
almost to the bone; his face long, sallow,
and fringed with grizzly black whiskers
which meet beneath in one long matted
beard; the eye small, black and keen;
the nose arched and thin;
the mouth cruel and compressed;
the chest and arms to the elbows bare,
the body enveloped in a tattered blue
shirt reaching beneath the knees; bare,
SCARED legs the feet treading on grass
sandals, which are held on by the toes.
That is a Kabuli beggar, and a most
arrant villain he is, for, maugre his rags,
he conceals a knife, like the rest of his
amiable countrymen, and will use it with
the rage of wolf if he is tempted. The
cooks are glad enough to toss kabob or
two to gentlemen of his class.
The other two roads have no particu-
lar characteristics, excepting that they
are great deal broader than by far the
larger portion of Kabul. OFF these four
principal roads numerous dark and filthy
lanes, twisting for quarter of mile az
time, and not more than three feet
broad, shoot at frequent intervals. The
fat-roofed houses in them are made of
mud, .hickly mixed with straw, and
the apartments are dark, square holes,
much worse than the much-decried shan
ties of the Galway peasants.
Men, women and children sleep to-
gether, and never change their garments
till these drop off. Frequently cattle and
fowls are to be found crowded into these
apartments, together with the human in
mates. Such places are dangerous to all
strangers Not even an unusual parish
dog could stray into one Of them, for he
would be worried by hundred jealous,
big-boned, hungry ours. In the last
British attack on Kabul, Afghans who
preferred "dying like poisoned rats in a
hole" retreated to their tortuous streets
and lanes, and many good life was lost
in hunting them out.

Upon Secretary Thompson during the
recent naval review in Hampton Roads
small joke was literally played. As he
reached the side of the flagship in a
steam launch the band, says the Balti-
more American, began to play the air
from "Pinafore," which announces the
arrival Of Sir Joseph Porter, X. @. B.
The Secretary observed that everybody
smiled, but he is one Of those rare persons
who have not seen Mr.. Sullivan's opera,
and wondered, no doubt, at this cause
less merriment. As he went on visiting
each ship of the feet, each band repeated
the same air As the Secretary was ac-
companied by large party of ladies' and
gentlemen who followed him wherever he
went, the picture was certainly not un-
like that on the deck of the "Pinafore."

A Cruel Hoax.

Last evening, just before sundown says
a frontier paper, gentleman, who was
sitting by his window on North B street,
casually remarked: "There goes the wo-
man that George Browns dead gone on"
His wife, who was in the back room get
ting supper ready, dropped u plate on
the acor, stumbled over. the baby and
ran like quarter-horse to the window,
with: "Where? whereS Tell me quick
ly" 'The one with the long cloak-just
at the corner" Then the woman at the
window said, in tones of deep disgust;
"Why, that's Browns wife" "Yes, ex-
actly," remarked the brutal husband
quietly. Then the disappointed woman
went back and got the supper ready, but
her usually sweet disposition was soured
for the entire evening.

The DAILY CHRONICLE, and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE,
will be kept up during the year
1879 to their usual high standard.
by enterprise, accurateness, and
close attention to the wants of our
readers, we hope to merit a contin-
uation of the liberal patronage
heretofore extended these journals.
Nearly nine years ago, when
there was not Republican daily in
the State, and only two or three in
the South, we commenced the pub
LEGATION of the CHRONICLE. In all
these years we lave battled for Re-
publican principles, and see no
reason to change our course now.
Hence we shall continue to publish
a truthful, reliable Republican
journal, not the organ of any man
or clique, but the outspoken and
fearless advocate of principles,
measures and men, best calculated
to promote the welfare of the
country and the Republican party.
We will endeavor to make our
agricultural columns worth more to
farmers than our subscription price.
AS newspaper our publications
shall not be excelled in the State.
In addition to our telegraphic dis
patches from all parts of the world,
our readers shall have the benefit of
correspondence and every other
means through which reliable infor>
nation is obtained,
Each number of the paper will
contain selections made with special
reference to the home circle. We
will continue to avoid everything
calculated to contaminate, and will
publish paper that may be taken
without question within the sacred
orecints of the family circle.
Our market reports shall have
lose attention, and be made entire
y correct and reliable.
We call upon all persons inter-
9sted in the publication of our in
fearless, reliable Repub
lean journal to come to our aid and
assist in extending the circulation
IF the DAILY CHRONICLE and
WEEKLY WING AND CHRONICLE.
In view of the financial pressure
upon the country and the general
reduction of values, we have decided
20 reduce the price of the WEEKLo

lines. In the future we will send
