Raurchunder, for some time resident
OF that capital, and who is related to the
notorious Mana Sahib, has again appear.
ell as friend and adviser OF Abdurrah-
man Khan, to meet whom he is a second
time on his way to Afghanistan. The
suspicious which his former movements
in Russia and Afghan Turkistan have
created in the minds OF those
who believed in the latest report
of Russian intrigues in Afghanistan,
will probably only be increased by the
latest advices about him. Raurchunder
intends to 20 to Icheran on his way to
the Ameer's headquarters. He says the
Ameer finds no sympathy at Tcheran.
The Persian officials regard him AS an
instrument Of Russia. They are also
highly displeased at Gen. SkobeloHs

A BAD TICKET.

1t is impossible to conceive worse
or more vulnerable ticket than the
one nominated at Chicago, as The
standard hearers Of tile Republican
party in the November Presidential
contest. Not only the Democratic
and independent Journals of the
country attack personally Garfield
and Arthur, but many of the Re-
publican Journals stand aghast at
the charges preferred against their
nominees at the thres hold Of the can
vass. The New York San and other
we'll informed Journals, openly and
directly ehnrge Garfield with perjury
and bribery, and the New York Her
aid is out in a leader demanding that
the Republican candidate for Presi-
dent, should ask for investigation or
institute suit for libel against the
Sun at once, that the truth may he
judicially determined. Here is the
close of the Reralds article:
"such an investigation IL is no less
his good policy to invite than it ia the
duty of the people to require. They
have not closed the doors of the White
House firmly against imperialism only
to open them on oiled hinges of cor
ruption.n

HENRY WArTERsoN, editor of the
Louisville Courier-Jounal, served in
Congress with Garfield, and is tho
roughly well acquainted with him.
He gives the following pen picture of
him: owe can beat Garfield as easily
as we beat Hayes, of whom, in truth,
Garfield is large likeness; brainier
and, because brainier, o better man,
bat yet sleek embodiment of the in
sincerity, the intolerance and the loose
fitting morality of latter-day Republi-
canism. AS amiable as Blaine, and
more plausible, though less intrepid;
as smiling and smooth as Washbarne;
rs cool, wary and painstaking as Sher-
man, and almost as acute aud trained
ne Edmunds, this new leader, which
something like a destiny has raised up
for the Republicans, will unite the
party and poll its full strength"

PHOTOGRAPHS THAT WINK. - The
last new kink in photography surpass
es the ingenuity of the man who in
vented the spirit photographs, and
suggests how handy it would have
been had that crafty person added this
to his devices. A Freuchman takes
one negative of sitter with open
eyes. Then he makes the sitter shut
his eyes aud remain in exactly the
same position while another negative
ia taken. The two negatives are print
ed on the same paper, one on each
side exactly coincidiDg. When this
double-faced picture is held in proper
position before lamp, aud the lamp is
rapidly moved or caused to flicker, the
curious effect is produced OF long-con-
tinued winking. 1t is rot claimed that
a person looks more beautiful when he
keeps winking, but it cannot be de-
MED that it gives one very interest
ing appearance. - Philadelphia Re-

MIR. ARTHUR.

The Boston Advertiser, which
fought for Grant at the late Chicago
unpleasantness, has this to say about
Mr.. Arthur, the candidate for Vice
President on the Chicago ticket:
sit is an ungracious task to find
fanlt with any action taken by con
vention whose main work has been so
satisfactory. But it would be Sinking
the truth not to say that the nomIna-
ton for the Vice Presidency is a great
disappointment. Mr.. Arthur is rep
resentative in his own person of Prin-
ciples and methods in politics which a
large portion of the Republican party
utterly condemns and unfortunately
he represents nothing else. His name
could add nothing to the ticket, for his
National reputation ia the slightest !;
and such "a it is was acquired in a
contest with President Ha! es, in which
the President was in the right and Mr..
Arthur in the wrong. He was collect
or of The port of New York during a
large part of Grants administration ;
and many objections to the adminis:ra-
ton arose from the highly objection
able manner in which the customs ser
vice was employed in outside politics.
The same thing was attempted in
Massachusetts and was overthrown.
In New York it was also overthrown,
but only through the removal of the
responsible ntticers, of whdm Collector
Arthur vas the chief. If it was neces-
sary to propitiate Senator Gambling,
after losing his magnificent battle for
Gen. Grant, it was small price for
him to ask, but much too high price
for the convention to pay. 1t degrades
the cause which he led so CALAMITY,
and it will offend many mole than it
can possibly conciliatc. In not I'M
possible contingency Mr.. Arthur might
become President of the United States.
What are his opinions? Who knows
them' We are informed on one p"lut
only. He is thorough believer in
the spells doetiine III politics. Heaven
grant tItat we may never have occasion
to read them in an address 10 The two
houses of Congress"

COLONEL MCCLURE on THE CNl-
CAGO TICKET.

I share the general conviction Of
most of the delegates who made the
nomination of Garfield that he is not
likely to prove strong candidate.
He has been a gallant soldier. He has
filled high measure of civil trust.
He has risen to the leadership of the
House. He is able in dispntatioE and
is justly esteemed as patriotic, but
few would single him out as a great
administrator, and he follows too
closely in the footsteps of Hayes to
awaken either popular enthusiasm or
command intelligent trust. He would
not be the type of Executive that the
humiliating experience of the last
nearly four years has impressed upon
the positive Republican leaders as an
Imperative necessity. 1t was the pitt
able weakness of Hayes that made it
possible to anchor over three hundred
votes n the convention in favor of
Grant with all the blemish of his ad-
ministration, aud while the party will
accept Garfield with mechanical unity
the desperate courage and uuscrupu-
lous strategy which made Hayes Presi
dent will not be repeated for Garfield
by the only men who could repeat it.
The nomination makes every Southern
State Democratic, makes Ohio doubt
full, makes New York and New Jersey
hardly debatable for the Republicans,
and makes Indiana, California, Oregon
and even Pennsylvania depend upon
the verdict of Ohio in October. If
Garfle'd's own State shall be lost in
the preliminary October, the ensuing
contest will be ended and his defeat
overwhelming, while if he shall carry
it by reduced majority, as is inevita.
bic against strong Democratic ticket,
his election will then be no more than
possible. He will be assailed in his
own State and by his political friends
with uncommon bitterness, and his
integrity will be as positively ques-
TONED as the defamers of Blaine have
questioned the purity of his public
record. His own constituents and par
ty associates have made this public by
standing out as his nccusers. That he
does not deserve thus to be assaulted
any more than does Blaine, | do not
doubt, and the independent press of
the country will I've faithful in his de-
fense against defamatory assaults.
But they have weakened him in the
popular vote.
He will lie compelled to wade
through n violent food of partisan
b;tt rness from nov until The melan.
choly days of November, of which be
spoke in nominating Sherman, shall
come to deliver him from the angry
waves of political strife, and as if it
was predetermined that lie shonld be
ovefweighted in the race the nomina
ton of Arthur for Vice President was
loaded upon him to make the battle
for the controlling State of New York
a hopeless one. 1t il possible for
Democratic foil" to elect the Garfield
ticket. Its election will be impossible
if statesnianship and patriotism shall
