The population of Alghanistan is
estimated to be about 100000. They
are divided into . large number of
tribes, ne two Of which are in many re.
SpeCts alike. The most numerous race
Is the Afghan proper. They have few
equals in their physicacl form. The
nation is divided into the nomadic and
fixed population, each Of which is fur.
ther divided into clans. The former
nngags in fighting and stealing from
each other, and notwithstanding they
make great pretentiens to hospitality
As long Is the stranger is inside their
tents, as soon a. he gets outside they
feel themselves at liberty to rob or muir
der him. They are no respeCtors Of
persons.
The NomAds render tribute to the
Ameer Of Cabul, and furnish a contin-
gent for The regular army. They also
form the hulk Of the militia, upon
which the Ameer draws when addition
Al force Is needed. Otherwise they are
apparently independent of the Cabul
Government. The fixed population are
mainly farmers. All are proud of
their country, and would rather be
Afghans than Remains under Cesar or
Briteas under ViCtoria. While they
are liberty-loving IS individuals, they
are strsngly devoted to their family
clan. They arc Mohammedana, and
their government and customs much
Fessnble other Mahommedau nations.
They are not so rigidly devoted to the
Prophet, however, that when otherwise
disposed they viii not disregard his
wishes. This is especially seen in their
large consumption Of Intoxicating
drinks.

The Regulators Bali.

AS announced the first reception Of
the Delaware Regulators took place last
evening, in Websters Dancing Aca-
DENY, Masonic Hall, and if the charao-
ter Of the reception is to be taken as a
criterion of the metal of which the asso-
citation is composed, We should say en-
phatically that it ranks A l. The
grand march was led off by Master of
Ceremonies, Mr.. John B. Farley, accom-
panied by Miss Annie Collins, at . 40,
sixty-fve couples participating, after
which the Regulators and their guests
INDUCED in tripping the light fantas-
tic to the excellent music furnished by
Prof. John Richie. The principal fea-
ture of the evening was the introduc-
ton of new quadrille, styled "Min-
nie's Redowa." This was remarkably
we'll executed by Mpssrs. John B. Far
ley, William Green, Harry Taylor and
Daniel Mcguire. The entire affair,
music, steps, ETC., were wholly new,
and in neatness Of design, far superior
to any dance ever introduced in this
city. The above named gentlemen are
also said to have composed the dance,
and the devotees of terpsichore Of Will
mington are under lasting obligations
to them for having furnished such
treat. Refreshments were served in
abundance at intervals during the
evening.

Cast Iron Trees.

Some time ago tive venerable trees,
on the premises Of Lam0tte DUPONT,
Esq, near this city, being enfeehled by
the encroachments of years yielded to
the fury Of a storm and were blown
down. Both trees were very old, one
of them over hundred years, and as
a nIemento Of their honOred existence
it was decided to place two cast iron
tac similes Of portion Of their trunks
on the sites the trees so long occupied. {.
These cast.iron stumps were made at
the foundry of L. &. Stotsenburg Il
Co., at Front and Washington streets,
and one OF them has just been put in
position. 1t has been painted to re-
semble nature, and in size and contour
is exactly similar to the older of the
two trees that were blown down. Il is
about 4 feet high, and nearly five feet
in diameter at the base, and at little
distance looks Just like genuine tree
stump. The other casting is now in
the foundry, receiving the finishing
touches, and will be completed in a
few days.-Gazette.

Drunken Grows.

A correspondent of the Hartford
"Courier," states that short time ago
the family of DR.. Tourney, of Wilton,
Ct., threw away lot of wild cherry
pits, the same having been soaking
in brandy since last fall. Soon flock
of crows came along and made hearty
meal of the pits, and the consequence
was that nearly all of them became
drunk. Some would stagger around
the field and finally lie down apparent
ly inspnsible, while others would fly
up in the air and then, losing all con-
troll of their wings, would fall to the
ground, in several instances breaking
their necks. About fifty of the birds
were killed or captured, and the affair
created qtite an excitement.

THE NEW COURT HOUSE.
The Site at Tenth and Market
Streets Selected for the New Bull.
ding-The ResOI ImtiOns.

The Levy Court yesterday took decid-
ed action on the building of the new
Court House, and choose the elevated
site Of Tenth and Market streets, where
the old basins are now located, on which
to build it. The entire square has been
accepted and it is said that the build
ing committee Of the Levy Court will
shortly make a tour Of the court houses
in the neighbori1g counties to see
which in their judgment is the best.
1t must not be- inferred however that
the Wilmington court house will be an
exact model of any other court house
in the country, for there never has been
any built yet which could not be i'm
proved. Through the kindness Of Mr..
Springer, Clerk of the Levy Court, we
have been furnished with the following
resolutions on the subject which were
passed by the Levy Court yesterday:
RESOLVED, That this Court, after
having viewed the different proposed
sites for the erection of a Court House
for New Castle County, Sin the city of
Wilmington, deem the square situated
between Tenth and Eleventh and Mar
ket and King streets, in said city," as
the most convenient to all the business
interests and therefore the Lest loca-
tion for said purpose.
Resolved, that the Attorney OF this
Court, George Gray, Esq, bs and is
hereby instructed to inquire into the
title of said property, and that he have
the necessary papers prepared convey
ing the whole of said Square with the
improvements thereon from the said
city of Wilmington to the Trustees
named in the bill passed by the Legis-
lature at the last session, "and entitled
an act to remove the County Courts of
New Castle County"
Resolved, That the Clerk of this
Court be instructed to send a copy of
the foregoing Resolutions to the Chair
man Of the Committee of City Council
at Wilmington.
On motion the resolutions were adop
ted. Attest JEo. P. SPRINGER,

A man named William Devinney was
arrested last evening at Ninth and Mar.
ket streets by officers Jones and Kane.
For eighteen years Mr.. Devinney was
employed in building the stone walls
at Duponts, but wa, discharged several
months ago. Shortly after his dis
charge he moved to Philadelphia, and
not having employment he becsme dis
couraged, and contemplated taking a
trip to Australia where it is said he
has several relatives. He came down
to this city yesterday and called on a
real estate agent, talked of selling some
property which he owns in this city.
He was perfectly sober and on leaving
the Office he bade the agent good-by aud
stated "that if anything happened for
him to take care of his children"
The agent thinking that something
might possibly happen the man, after
he left the Office called the attention OF
the proper authorities to his strange
actions. The man passed up Market
street to Eighth and stopping at the
peanut stand told a party "that he was
going to drown himself" The officer,
arrested him at Ninth and Market. On
arriving az the hall he was searched
and a small sum of money and other
minor articles was found,o his person

Another Hog Ailing.

1t appears that swine are not only
subject to fatal attacks of cholera, but al.
so that typhoid fever sometimes attains
among them the malignity of an pp-
demic. An English farmer writes to tine
London STANDARD that typhoid fever
was, at the date of the letter, sweeping
off large numbers Of hogs in Berkshire
county. AS an instance of the NOR
tality among the herds of breeders, he
states that one breeder lost 81 hogs out
OF herd of 56, and another So out of
So. Tho Berkshire breed is so choice,
and commands among farmers and
breeders such nigh price, that any
great mortality among the herd Of that
county would entail very heavy loss.

Strange Freak OF a Religious En-.
lhusiast.

W. R. Smith, of Hartford, Conn, be-
came impressed with the idea that his
religious obligation required him to fast
40 days and 40 nights, and he began at
once, refusing all nourishment. His
friends could not persuade him to eat
or drink anything, and physician
was called in. He resolutely declined
to take even the least particle of food
or water, protesting that his action was
the result of a direct spiritual order
He kept his resolution till he became
very weak, when his friends had him
sent to an Insane Asylum, where he is
now compelled to take nourishment.--
The strange thing is that he is perfectly
sane on other subjects.
