THE CAUSES OF THE DISASTER.

Details of the Afghan disaster are very
slow in arriving Thus far it is only
known that General Burrows had cut loose
from his supports and offered battle to
Ayoob Khan despite the fact that the lat
ter's forces outnumbered his own three to
one. 1t seems also that part of the Brit
ish force, consisting of Afghan cavalry,
deserted to Ayoob while the battle was
being fought. In any event the British
detachment was routed, and half its num-
Der were left on the field, dead or wounded !;
and as the Afghans do not give quarter,
every wounded man must be counted as
dead. Blame is laid upon the Commander
in-Chief, who is evidently not popular.
The fault may have been partly his, but
the presumption is that General Burrows
was acting upon his own responsibility,
and that he deserves the largest share of
censure The effect, however, has been to
discredit all the Generals in the field, and
cry is being raised for Sir Garnet Wolse-
ley If he is sent out it is to be hoped
that he will not again have his hands tied,
as was the case in South Africa, where he
was compelled to look on while Lord
Chelmsford Numbered and destroyed
armies, instead OF putting that incapable
officer in the rear, and doing what he alone
knew how to do thoroughly.

EssrERy GOLD MINES.

There appears to be a mining epidemic
breaking out in the Eastern States. Dis
coveries, or alleged discoveries, of pre-
cious metals, are being continually made in
hitherto unexpected parts, and it is pos
sible that a gold fever such as swept over
the Pacific Coast twenty years ago may be
impending on the Atlantic side. The
strong probability, however, is that the
majority of the mining discoveries an
nounced are illusory, and this suspicion
rests upon two circumstances, the first
being the fact that no geological surveys
have heretofore given indications of any
such deposits, and the second being the
fact that all these alleged discoveries are
being utilized by the swift organization of
companies. When we reflect that within
the past year there has been an unprece-
dented migration OF California street and
curbstone brokers to New York, moreover,
and that these gentry have as yet failed to
secure the expected footing for Pacific
Coast mines, we are led to suspect that
some of the new discoveries may be in
the nature Of the famous diamond fields
which had SO singular history few years
ago. The formation Of companies is indeed
the most ominous phase OF the new in
vestment, for it points to a shrewd and
cool-blooded element of speculation in the
back ground, waiting to take advantage OF
popular folly Thus far, however, the
Eastern public do not seem to have jumped
at the golden bait very eagerly. The truth
is that the gloomy condition OF the
Comstock for so long period has dis
couraged investors, and made mines drug
in the market. Then, too, the East
ern capitalist class has its eye
teeth cut. 1t has seen good
deal and heard good deal
about mining speculation, and it
perhaps holds back until it can get some.
thing more satisfactory than fire assays or
proofs OF that caliber. No doubt there are
plenty of people in the East who could be
persuaded to drop their money on plaus-
ible swindles if the general excitement
should rise high, for in such cases even
shrewd men get carried away, and lose
their heads But the boom is evidently
hard to start, and enthusiasm does not
grow fast in the Atlantic soil. 1t will
take more putting than is necessary in Cal
ifornia to get up anything like furore
about Eastern mines.

WHY SHOULD NOT GARFIELD speak,

1t has been suggested that General Gar
field might with equal propriety and use
fulness take the stump and give his party
and the country the advantage of MS elo-
quence and mastery of living issues. The
only objection that has been or can be
urged against this proposition is the asser-
ton that it would somehow be undignified
for candidate for the Presidency to take
an active part in the canvass. But the
fact is that no precedent of this kind has
been established. On the contrary, sew
eral Presidential candidates have partici-
pated in the canvass, and it has never been
pretended that they injured themselves in
the popular estimation by the course they
took. Clay, Douglas, Seymour, Greeley,
all took the stump when they were candi-
dates. Then why not Garfield 1t fire.
quently happens that the candidate is not
a fluent speaker, in which case it is no
doubt best that he should be silent. But

General Garfield is statesman and orator
of high order No man in the country is
better versed in the issues which are in
controversy. He has been an active agent
in all the important national legislation
since the rebellion. He is in no danger of
misconoeiving or treating unskillfully any
of the subjects before the people. A few
speeches such as he could make would en-
phasize the breadth of the distinction be-
tween the candidates, and show the coun
try still more clearly the need of a trained
intelligence at the head of affairs. Nobody
expects Hancock to take the stump, for
everybody understands that he could not
do it. In the first place he cannot speak
in public, and in the second place he would
not know what to speak about. 1t has
indeed been alleged as reason why Gar
field should not take the stump, that if
elected he will be a non partisan President,
and that therefore he ought not to identify
himself with party now. With due
COUI NC ti1o OpJOStlOh
strikes us as ridiculous It is true that
in theory President is the President of
the whole country, but it is not true
that there has ever been a non partisan
President. The Executive must in the
nature of things stand for the policy of one
of the great parties. That policy must
control his administration. And since
every candidate for the Presidency must
be partisan before he can get the nominal
ton, and must be partisan after he is
elected, we fail to perceive any valid reason
for objection to his proclaiming the politi-
cal faith that is in him during the canvass.
General Garfield could be very useful to
himself and his party in the field. His
presence in the campaign would add vigor
and enthusiasm to it. His utterances
would serve as rallying cries for his friends
and followers. His popularity would be
increased by such manifestation of his
oratorical power. We can see nothing to
counterbalance the advantages to be de.
rived from his participation in the canvass.

Details of the Afghanistan Disaster.
LONDON, August 3D. The yiceroy of

July 10Th:
General Burrows marched from Kushki
Nakute on the morning of the 9th, having
heard that Ayoob Khan,s advance guard had
occupied the main read three miles
cavalry appeared, advancing from the
direction OF Hyderabad. The artillery and
cavalry engaged them about o'clock in the
morning. Shortly afterwards the whole force
OF the enemy appeared, formed in line of bat
tie. with seven regiments of regulars in
the center, three others in reserve, two
thousand cavalry on the right, four hundred
cavalry and two thousand irregular in
fantry on the left, and other cavalry and
lrregulars in the reserve, and five or six bat
teries OF guns, including one of breeeh-load-

was slightly undulsting. The enemy were
posted in the best position. Until l o'clock
in the afternoon the action was confined
to artillery fire, which was so well
sustained and directed by the enemy
that our superior armament failed to compen-
safe for the inferior number of guns. After
the rife fire began our breech leaders told,
but vigorous advance of cavalry against our
left and of Ghazis along the front caused
the native infantry to fall back in confusion
on the Sixty-sixth Regiment, abandoning
two guns. Our formation being lost, the in
fantry reiterated slowly, in spite of the gal
liant efforts of General Burrows to rally
them, and were cut off from the cavalry and
artillery This was at 3 o'clock in the after
noon, and the camp followers and baggage
were striking towards Candahar. After a
severe fight in inclosed ground, General Bur
rows succeeded in extricating the infantry
and brought them into liae In the retreat
no efforts would turn the fugitives from the
main road, which is without water at this
season of the year, and thus majority OF
the casualties occurred from men falling from
thirst and exhaustion. The enemys pursuit
continued to within ten miles from Candahar,
but was not vigorous. The cavalry and artil-
lery, with few infantry, reached the
banks of the river Argandale, forty
miles from the scene of action, at
o'clock the next morning, many
not having tasted water since the previous
morning. Nearly all of our ammunition was
lost, as also were 100 rifles and two nine
FOUNDER guns. Our loss is estimated: Killed
and missing Regiment 400;
Grenadiers, $50; Jacobs Rifles, $780, artil-
lery, 40; sappers, "a; cavalry, CO.. The
Provisions and ammunition are plentiful.

Why Strawberries ara Red.

St james Gazette.
All ripening fruits and opening flowers
have q natural tendency to grow bright
red or purple or blue, though in many of
them the tendency Is repressed by the
dangers attending brilliant displays of
color. This natural habit depends upon
the oxidation of the tissues, aud is exactly
analogous to the assumption of autumn
tiuts by leaves. If plant, or part of a
plant, is injured by such a change Of
color, through being rendered more con-
spicous to its foes, il soon loses the
tendency under the influence of natural
selection in other words, those individuals
which most display 1t get killed out, while
those which least display it survive and
thrive. On the other baud, if conspicuous
ness is an advantage to the plant, the exact
| opposite happens, and the tendency
becomes developed into q confirmed habit.
This is the case with the strawberry, as
with many other fruits. The more bright
colored the berry il the better it's chance
| of getting its iruitlets dispersed. Birds
| have quick eyes for color, especially for
| red and white; and therefore almost all
edible berries have assumed one or other
! of these two hues. So long as the
fruitets remain unripe, aud would there.
fore be injured by being eaten, the pulp
remains sour, green and hard; but as
soon as they have become itfor dispersion
it grows soft, fills with sugary juice and
acquires its ruddy outer flesh. Then the
birds see and recognize it as edible, ane
govern themselves accordingly.
