A WAR WITHOUT PROFIT.

Whatever may be the consequences
of the recent English disasters at
Candahar, it is pretty clear that En-
gland can no longer place any reli-
ance upon Wallis power to hold
Candahar, nor even feel at all salts
fed that the warlike levies there are
not more favorably disposed to
Ayoob Khan than to the English.
These last reverses have added
immeasurably to the already over
whelming burden of anxiety resting
on the shoulders of Lord Harrington
and the Viceroy of India. 1t needs
only a a.couple more such perilous
surprises to excite cry in England
for the abandonment of Atghanis-
tan.
The fact that Abdul Rahman has
been selected by the Yiceroy as
most acceptable to the English for
the Ameership of Cabul has un-
doubtedly drawn the support of the
other aspirants to the same throne
to the forces of Ayoob Khan. Ay-
Dob, indeed, is the most favored
leader of tho Afghans, but he de-
clined to live under the English pro-
lection as Ameer, and the Viceroy
had to select one whom he thought
he could control.
AS matters are at present, Eng
land will probably find it to her ad-
vantage to allow the Atghans to set
tie their own affairs, and leave the
country. There is not the slightest
chance for Russia, at least for some
generations to come; to interfere
with England's interests in India.
The English may we'll be thank
full that their situation in Afghanis-
tan is not worse to-day than it is
They have broken the heart of
Shere Ali, imprisoned his son, over
run the country and have fought
successfully. But on the other side
they have found that the Afghans
never knew when they were beaten,
that their resources in war are con-
siderable, and that the whole CAM
paign is a wanton waste of valuable
lives and millions of money, through
a foolish fear of Russia's designs
| upon England's Indian possessions.

Board of Health.

SPECIAL MEETING ON sATU RDAY
EVENING - THE QUESTION OF
GARBAGE.
The Board of Health held spec.
ial meeting on Saturday evening
President Singley in the chair.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of considering the contract
of Davis j. Gerry. for removing the
garbage from the Fourth District
Since last Monday complaints from
| said district have been pouring in to
Enoch Moore, Jr., Chairman of the
Committee on Garbage. That gen.
tleman investigated the complaints,
and found that the contractor had
only cleaned from Market to Wash
ington street, during the week. The
contractor does not seem to under
stand his duties, and as the COM
plants were so numerous, the Board
determined to take some action in
the matter.
After an expression of views in
regard to the matter, Mr.. Kelly Of
fered resolution which was adopt
ed instructing the Committee on
Garbage to employ sufficient num-
ber of carts 10 remove the garbage
from said district until such time as
the contractor can perform the work
himself, the expense of employing
such carts to be deducted from the
contractors pay.
The chair stated that there was
an old shanty, wherein a
colored family resided, on Fourth
street between French and Walnut
streets, which was in a very filthy
condition, and at an inquest held
over an infant that died suddenly in
the house last week, the Board had
been censured by the jury for allow
ing such a place to exist.
On motion the matter was refer
red to the Fourth Ward Committee
with instructions to have it abated
at once.
On motion the Board adjourned.

Hon. Edward Mcpherson says the republi-
cans are perfectly sure of controlling the
organization of the new House. I'VE have 149
straight republicans elected and conceded
to be elected. That is a majority of one over
all; but we have besides Brumm, of the
Schuylkill district in Pennsylvania, who was
elected by republican votes and who will act
with us, and Smith of Brooklyn, a thorough
going republican on National questions, who
was elected by combination of independent
democrats. We count confidently on him.
Then there are seven greehbackers. -Four
of them are from Missouri, and arc as good
republicans as ANYBODY. think the repub
lican nominee for speaker will have los

Death when it comes to the young and Wig
orous is always saddening. Last week
Charles o. Hoxie of Somerville, Mass, was
brought to Augusta to be buried. He was n
native of this city, but twelve years ago his
father removed to Massachusetts, and engaged
in business there. Three months since his
daughter-a lovely girl of Twas taken
away, and now the grim messenger has called
for his son who was just budding into strong
young manhood. The young man was a
sailor who had risen by his own exertions to
the position of second mate, and was to have
been promoted to first mate on the next voy-
age. He was in Augusta to attend the fun
eral of his sister, and at that time was not in
robust health. Yellow fever contracted in a
Southern port had sapped his constitution,
and he soon fell prey to disease. We are
sure that his bereaved friends have the sym
pathy of the community in their affection.

The Ice Business.
Several ice companies have already began
scraping ice, preparatory to harvesting whe n
it becomes of proper thickness. Ice dealers
are anxiously waiting, hoping for indications
of an open winter that will warrant putting
up of an amount of ice equal to last season.
If such indications are not forthcoming, only
regular dealers having contracts for series
of years will go forward with the business,
the other dealers who were in the field
last season preferring to invest their
capital in less risky business. If,
however, the weather the last of the month
indicates lengthy period of mild weather, il
may be expected that during the first months
of the new year, it is prophesied by prominent
ice merchants of this quarter more ice
will be put up than last season, which then
on the Kennebec ard adjacent ponds
amounted to million tons.

As the result of conference of railroad
men in Portland, it was determined to put on
night train between Bangor and st. John.
The train going east on the European and
North American railroad will connect with
the evening train from Boston on the Maine
Central railroad, allowing passengers time to
take supper in Bangor. At ST. John close
connection will be made with the Intercoloniai
Railway for Halifax and Quebec. thus
bringing those cities twelve hours nearer
Portland than before. The western train
will arrive at Bangor from St. John in the
morning in time to connect with the Maine
Central train for Portland and Boston. The
date of the beginning Of the proposed ar
rangement is not yet positively fixed upon'
but it will probably occur in about two
weeks.
