TIE RETREAT FROM C4BUL.

The Candahar disaster has fastened rather
than retarded the retreat of the British forces
from Cabul The difficulty experienced IN
massing rcinfOrcements at the mouth Of the
Bolan Pass and dispatching them northward
has suggested the hazardous expedient of q
march southw ard from the Northern Capital.
General Roberts is to set out without delay
with column of ten thousand men to relieve
Candahar and to crush the army which
Ayoob has mustered in the West. 1t
is terrible season of the year for
"A forced march over mountain roads where
the springs have dried up under the scorch-
ing midsummer sun. General Roberts, how
ever, has succeeded in everything which he
has undertaken during the campaign In
Afghanistan, and with SO strong a force can
hardly fail to overcome every difficulty and
to enter Candahar in triumph. Meanwhile,
the garrison ut Cabul will retTaco its
steps to the frontier and leave the
new Ameer to establish himself in his
capital On the eve of the disastrous
engagement in which General BurrOws's brig
ade was defeated In the open field, the Sir
dars had agreed to follow General Stewards
advice and to unite in assisting the Ameer to
pacify the country. VIII they be faithful to
their pledges after the last detachment of
Sepoys has filed out of the crooked lanes of
Cabul7 The Afghans have not wholly for
gotten how to fight, for, after score of de-
feats in the East. tho stalwart Ghazis
have succeeded in putting to rout
regiment of British veterans. In like
manner, the chiefs may hold to their faith
now, albeit treachery has been the badge of
all the tribes. Yet the East is ever the change
full East. The Ameer of to-day may be fugi-
tive and an exile tomorrow.
The circumstances under which the Sepoys
are evacuating Cabul cast strong light
upon the criminal folly of the whole

The beautiful charity which is now familiar to US
in all o. orr great cities by which pO.r children OF
babies and their mothers are invited "a guests or
rakeu to board in faTmhouseS for a week or two
during the heat OF the summer, is about 10 be tried
III London. Free oxcursions for them fer the day
have been common there for years, but now The
PcU NaH Gazette anxiously comments on the haz-
arlous experiment which is being tried Of sending
children actually taken from the worst Of London
sunis out to the fresh country to board for whole
week or fortnight Certain well-known philanthro-
piss declare that the thing is feasible while others
look on wrh bated breath at these wretched babies
le, loose on the green fields, pretty much as they
might do if the frogs from the Poutinc Marshes be-
gan to hop no over the sacred marbles Of Rome.
They only hope that the final destruction Of all
things will not come out of it.
There is something prominently British in
the manner in which the Londoners have
caught and accepted this pretty idea. Some
body imported it from America and pro-
posed in a spasm of doubling desp rate courage, to
try il on the London children. One or two reform
crs took it up but at arms length, handling it tim
idly, as though the whole generation Of urchins
might explode INTO dynamite or Jack Cades. Last
week preparations were slowly going on to elect u
Board of City and also Country Directors salared
Chairman, Secretary and Treasurer and to make
provision for branch Boards as they should be
found necessary" BY the time this tremendous
machinery is in running order, and the first depu-
tation of babies ready to move the winter will
have set in, and the money will be used up. Two
or three good women in linen busters. going about
with sweet, bright faces from miserable slum to
CHEEKY farmhouse, are all the machinery which
New-York or Philadelphia has used for years past
to save thousands of lives and to give happiness TO
uncounted little ones every summer.

campaign into which British India was
dragged entirely against its will. The
immediate cause of the war was the refusal
of the former Ameer TO allow a British En-
bassy to enter his capital. The troops have
fought their way twice to the city, once 10
establish an Embassy there and subsequently
TO avenge the massacre of those who had been
left behind; and now after enthroning new
sovereign they retire disclaiming any inten-
ton of returning or any wish to have dlpIo-
matte representatives in the capital. 1he
remote cause of the war was the resentment!
felt by the British officials because
courtosies which were denied to themselves
were freely extended to the Russian Envoy.
Yet the sovereign whom they have themselves
proclaimed is the same Abdurrahman who for
twelve years has been living in exile IN
Russian TurlSestan. Mr.. Schuyler when he
visited Tashkend found HIM on excellent
terms with General Kaufimann-the very

GRIM GOBLIN AT WALLACKs.


The reopening of Wallacks Theatre for
o preliminary season was effected last
night, and the public thronged into
that pleasant auditorium In such great num-
bers that 1t was speedily filed in every part.
The audience also proved sympathetic
and responsive If the entertainment
presented was not altogether such as thought and
taste could desire or refinement entirely ap-
prove, it nevertheless was found to be quite
harmonious with the vivacious, gossamer
spirit of the hour and, as 80 much
merry fooling. 1t was accepted by an
eager and not fastidious assemblaGe 1t was an
admiXture of burlesque, pantomime. grotes-
quere, vocalism. balIet-danclng, and me-
chanical invention. 1t was prettily set and
handsomely dressed, and after one or two
repetitions its scenes will doubtless work like
magic and, equally without doubt fair degree
OF success may be anticipated for its medley of

UNITED md HARNONTOUS.

Since the Presidential campaign of 1868
the Republican party has not been so solid as
1t is in the present contest. All delu-
sions about the Democratic party have
vanished. 1t has had "a Iull trial in
both houses of Congress. and has demonstrated
that no good thing can come out of 1t. The
old virus Of disloyalty and subseryicncy to the
South poisOns the whole body. No Republican
wants to try the experiment of trusting the Ma
tional Administration in the hands Of this party.
Liberals, Independents. Republicans Of every
sort who have criticised the management OF
their party at any time during the past eight
years, or objected to the conduct Of some OF
It's leaders, are now united in believing that
it is not safe to hand the country
over to the Democrats Old differences
are forgotten, old quarTels reConcned and
old iealousies healed by the conviction that
the public credit, the currency, the safety OF
business, and the perpetuiy OF the results OF
the war. are all mcnaccd by the alliance be-
tween the Solid South and the Northern De-
mocrdcy.
The Republicans 90 in TO this fight united,
harmonious and determined to WIN. There
are no grumblers, no laEglrds, no desertcrs.
The ranks are formed, and every man iden-
tilted with the great party Of freedom ard
nationality answers to the rol-call. The
spirit that animat,s this mighty Republican
host is a sure omen of success.
