From the Hartford Tines.
Already, before the old year hiss

were ten days ago. As yet, there is no
change in the time of the suns rising,
which IL still at its latest; but the morn

change-even IL il be . slight one. But
the marked gain in the duration Of light
In at the sunset hour. There is not only
an actual gain of several minutes in the
suns delay in retiring, but the curious
increase in the twilight, which begins
with the very first change in the swing
of the years great pendulum, is already
sufficient 20 be perceptible on clear
afternoons By the close of next month
the days will be an hour longer than
they were last week; and about three
quarters of this marked change will be

Here, in our northern American winter

light is enormously diminished, at this
low angle, We nevertheless get q great

partial compensations for the various

almost from its very beginning, and while
its severest weather is coming, we can
yet note the increasing length of the

The Topography Of Cabal.

The recent fighting near Cabul appears
to have taken place partly in the valley
OF the river, and mainly on the hills
that wall in the city on the south. The
city of Csbul stands almost entirely ON
the right or south bank of the river of
the same name. On each side rises q
lofty ridge, surmounted by ruinous for
tifications, and these two ridges meet on
the west, where the river has worn the
Cabul gorge" Close TO this pass is the
tomb Of Baber, on the rising slope of the
hill, about mile from the city, interest
ing from its historical associations. The
emperor himself, who founded the great
Moeul empire in Hindustan, and whose
favorite residence was at Cabul, lies
under plain slab of white marble. As
is usual with Mussuln,an tombs, the
area has been formed into a garden,
where the flower birds are watered by a
clear running stream. 4 magnificent
grove of poplars takes the place of the
funeral cypress. From this picturesque
spot the southern hill range runs east.
wards, towering high above the city, and
commanding though from . considerable
distance, the Bala Hissar. A road TO
Ghuznee runs southeast up the valley of
the Logar. In no part Of the world is
irrigation pursued more industriously
than in Afghsnistan. In the south Of
the country the water Is usually convey
ed from its source by means of under
ground channels, one of which is stated
BY credible authority to reach the
astonishing length of thirty miles. But
in the Cabul valley irrigation Is conduct
ed by canals and squeducts above ground,
which cut up the whole surface and Dor
der sll the roads. From these main
channels the water lie diverted over the
fields by countless bitches, and the
dit ches are in their turn lined with trees
for fruit and shade. The Cabul valley
may be fairly described As the orchard Of
