Details Of the Cabul Massacre.

LONDON, September 17.-Indian Off
on the British Residency at Cabul. 1t is re-
lated by the trooper who escaped that when
the mutinous troops were making the out
cry for their pay a soldier cried, " Let us kill
the Envoy and then the Ameer." The mu-
tineers then rushed upon the Embassy and
stoned some of the servants. The troops
composing the escort OF the Embassy hred
upon the mutineers without orders from
the British officers. The mutineers
then went for their Weapons. They were
absent about quarter of an hour, during
which time the British officers might have
escaped. The Residency was defended from
the windows and from trench made on the
outside with a mud roof. A trooper was
the bearer Of letter to the mutineers, then
on the roof of the Embassy, promising them
six months pay. He was seized and thrown
from the roof and made insensible. When
he recovered he was brought before Gen.
Kerim Khan, commander of the mutinous
brigade, who said he was powerless against
the mutineers, and ordered the trooper to be
imprisoned.
Another account from Simla gives the fol-
lowing additional particulars: The roof OF
the British Residency ut Cabul was COM
manded by other houses, and consequently
untenable by the besieged, who made a
trench outside. At about O'Clock in the af-
ternoon on the day of the massacre Maj.
ting bullet on his forehead. Mr.. Jenkyns,
Mai. Cavagnari's assistant, who arrived at
the Residency during the attack, wrote to the
Ameer for help, and the Ameer's reply
was: "God willing, 1 am making arrange
ments." A previous request for aid from
Maj. Cavagnari had met with the same re-
ply. Mr.. Jenkyns wrote again when Maj.
Cavagnari was wounded, but the bearer of
the letter was cut to pieces by mutineer.
A trooper then started but was disarmed
and imprisoned. He succeeded in escaping
at daybreak on the 4th of September, and
visited the Residency, where he said the
corps of Lieutenant Hamilton, commanding
the escort of the British Mission, was lying
across a mountain gun. He says that Mr..
Jenkyns was with person called Yahayahah
Khan, and he is therefore presumably alive.
The escaped trooper saw no troops on
the road from Cabul to Jellalabad and Dakka,
and as far rs he knew none were coming, and
comrade who was confined in Cabul in
formed him that Lieut.. Hamilton shot three
of the mutneers with his revolver, and killed
two with his saber. DR.. Kelly, who was con-
nected with the Mission, was lying dead in
side the Residency. Major Cavagnari was In
room which was burned, and which had
fallen in. His body had not been found.
Three native officers of the guides were
burned to death near the Residency.

THE PENNY YE MEANTTO GPE."

There's funny tale of n stingy man,
Who was none too good, but might have
been worse,
Who went to his church on Sunday night,
And carried along his well filed purse.
When the sexton came with his begging plate,
The church was but dim with the candies
light, -
And chose "A coin by touch and not sight
It's an odd thing now that guineas should be
So like unto pennies in shape and size,
am give penny" the stingy man said,
The poor must not gifts of pennies
despise." 49, --r.7 .--
The penny fell down with n clatter and ring!
And back in his seat leaned the stingy man.
The world is so full of the poor" he thought,
81 can't help them ALL give what can"
Ha! hai how the sexton smiled, to be sure,
To see the gold guinea fall into his platel
Ha! Ha! how the stingy mans heart was
wrung,
Perceiving his blunder, but Just too latei
" No matter" he said, "in the Lords account
That guinea of gold is set down to me.
They lend to Him who give to the poor;
1t will not so bad an investment be-" r
Fl" Ma, ma mon," the chuckling sexton cried
out;
" The Lord is ma cheated-He kens thee well.
He knew it was only by accident
That out o. thy fingers the guinea fell!
" He keeps an account no doubt, for the puir
But i'm that account He'll set down to thee
Ma mair o. that golden guinea, my mon,
Than the one bare pennyye meant to g1'e."

A tenement house on Gold Street, South
Boston, Mass, occupied by number of Ger

18th. Most of the inmates were asleep, and
the flames spread so rapidly that escape was
cut off. Mrs. Mary Huldreth was burned to
death and her husband was badly burned.
Ferdinand Muth and his wife and son
jumped from the roof to the ground. The
husband was killed outright and the mother

Political Division of the House.
From the Philadelphia Times 1nd. -Dem.)

lfrom the Ph1laoelph1a Times (lnd- --Dem.).J
The election of four Republicans to
Congress from California is now conceded,
and the close condition of parties in the
House attracts very general attention. All
the members Of the present Congress are
now chosen, with the exception of vacancy
in the Westchester District of New York, oc-
casioned by the death of Alexander Smith,
Republican, who died on the day he was
elected, and a vacancy in Iowa, occasioned
by the death Of Rush Clark, Republican, who
died during the late extra session. Both
these vacancies will be filled ut the fall elec-
tions-that in Iowa in October, and that in
New York in November. The New York
district is strongly Democratic, having given
Tilden 12,04 votes to 9,574 for Hayes, and
having elected Clarkson Potter to Congress
in 1876 by 4,919 majority; but Smith, Repub-
lican, was elected in 1878 by a plurality,
through large Greenback diversion. 1t is
reasonably certain that Democrat will be
chosen, unless the internal dissensions of the
Democracy throw it away. A Republican
will doubtless be elected in Iowa to succeed
Clark, as the district gave Clark 8, ,120 ma
jority in 1876 and 2,194 in 1878. Assuming
that the two members to be elected will be in
accord with the overwhelming political sen-
timent of the districts, the House will stand
as follows when it meets in December:

How Grasshoppers are Conquered In
the Sierra Valley.

During the past two seasons Sierra
Valley has been subjected to the devas
tations of the Unsuitable grasshopper.
The farmers, however, have not been
discouraged, but have maintained their
unequal fight against the pests, unwil-
ling to lose land so productive and val
liable as long rs there was the slightest
hope for deliverance. A new ally has
come to the farmers assistance in the
shape of white worm. Millions of
little eggs are laid alongside the grass
hoppers' eggs, and the worms coming
out first proceed to feast upon the unin-
cubated egg of the grasshopper. If
any of the hoppers survive the attack
of the worms, a little red bug darts into
the fray and proceeds to business at
once. The first active work he does is
to eat the grasshopper's head off. He
quietly fastens himself behind the grass
hopper's ear and burrows into his brain,
which he devours in few hours, leav-
ing the grasshopper physically and men,
tally in a bad fix. The hopper does not
always die, but his mental faculties be-
ing affected, he loses his fine sense of
discrimination, and is just as liable to
eat up one of his numerous relatives or
patch of weeds as to banquet upon the
farmers wheat, and finally he perishes
miserably. The red bug meanwhile
dies in the grasshopper's head for want
of nourishment, and the white worm,
having accomplished its mission on
earth, winds up its business affairs and
is gathered to its fathers, while the hi
larious farmer, happily rid of the multi
farious insectiverous pests, takes down
his fiddle and his bow, and dashes off Il
familiar hoe-down on his back stoop,
and the hired help "pat juba " while
the children dance merrily until the
moon rises in the eastern sky, and al
hands go to bed.-Pirginia City (Nev.,
