Is the Northwest rebellion due to the rest
less ambition and nischievous talents of the
leader, Riel, or to the Improvement of the
colonial authorities? Whatever the causes
may be, the consequences can not fail to i'm
press the English mind very profoundly with
q sense of the truth that misfortunes come
not singly, but in battalions. Whichever
way England turns she looks into the muzzle
of q rife or the mouth Of cannon.

TIRE delay In concentrating troops against
Riel's insurgents, or in obtaining news from
the front is owing to cut telegraph wires and
the fact that Swift Current, the point on the
Saskatchewan river at which the forces en-
bark for Battleford, the besieged point, Is
$50 miles northwest Of Winnipeg. Medicine
Hat 10 $50 miles farther, and Battleford is
300 miles beyond, making the distance owe r
which the troops are obliged TO march and
sail before they reach the belesguered point,
upward Of 1000 miles.

GEN. KAMARoFF,S REPORT
or the Battle at Pendjeh-The Afghans Force
the Fight.

ST. PETERSBURG, April 13.-The Official
Messenger publishes the following telegram
from Gen. Kamaroff, dated April /: "On the
18th Of March our detachment approached
Dash Kapri. When near the bridge we saw
an intrenchment occupied by Afghans. In
order to avoid p conflict, l stationed my
troops five versts "a little over three miles)
from the Afghan position. Negotiations
with Captain Yates "a member Of Sir Peter
Lumsden's force) commenced on the 26th.
When the Afghans had become convinced
that we had no intention of attacking them,
they daily drew nearer to our camp. On
the 9th they dispatched against = company
Of ours a accommodating party of three com.
panies, with gun and ssme cavalry. NeIt
day-their audacity and arrogance incrsas.
ing-they occupied high anG commanding
position on the left flank of our camp, made
intrenchments and placed . cavalry post in
the rear of our line and picket within gun
shot Of our fort. On the Goth / sent the
Afghan commander an energetic summons
to evacuate the left bank Of the Kushk river
and right bank of the Nurghat as far as the
mouth Of the Kushk. He replied that, act
ing on the advice of the English, he would
not retire beyond the Kushk. I then sent
him . private letter couched In amicable
terms. On the 30th, in order to support my
demand, I marched with my detachment
against the Afghan position, still expectings
pacific issue. But fire from the Afghan mus
kerry, and an attack of their artillery, com
PEELED me to accept combat"

ST. PETERSBURG, April 13.-The Journal
says the foregoing statement leaves no ques-
ton of Russian aggression that moreover,
Sir Peter Lumsdsn's second dispatch to the
British government justifies Gen. Kamarofrs
action and that even Gladstone has shown

President of Guatemala.

The troubles in the neighboring states Of
Central America, in which our government
has been called ON to interfere and has taken
some action, brings into prominence Gen.
Barrios, who has been fomenting revolution
in these countries since 1867 For the past 80
years the five petty states lying between the
Gulf of Tehuantepec and the Isthmus of
Panama have been kept in a chronic state Of
instruction by revolutionary leaders in the
vain hope Of establishing there republic
such as ours. The mixed population of ne
gro, Indian and Mexican blood seem to be
i'll fitted for self government, the numerous
instructions resulting only in keeping other
wise fertile lands impoverished.
The present president of Guatemala, Gen.
Barrios, who Is endeavoring to bring about
a union of the states Of Guatemala, San Sal
vador and Honduras, has had a remarkable
career Born in Guatemala 80 years ago, he
received a collegiate education, graduating at
the age of 81, and has since devoted his life
to revolution, which, in 1867, broke out in
open warfare against the government, ending
in the latter's overthrow in 1871. Immedi-
ately after organizing the new government
under president a fresh revolution broke
out, which Gen. Barrios quickly suppressed.
Since 1878 he has been the president Of the
republic of Guatemala.
Since the above sketch was written, Bar
rios and his son have been killed in the first
collision of forces between his army and
those of the confederation leagued against
him and his successor has already been in
stalled. 1t is the general belief that the war
ended with the death of the ambitious and
impetueus Barros. His scheme of confed-
Grafton was undoubtedly the best one for
the Central American Republics, and it
would be better for the United States, IN its
present contemplated relations with the
Isthmian people, If one strong Republic,
patterned after this, were organized out of
the turbulent little governments now exist
ing; but although Barrios was man of great
ability and courage, he had not forces enough
to accomplish his project against the confed-
Grafton of jealous and rival rulers. 1t may be
he was personally too ambitious and revolu.
tionary In character for the public welfare
that he was not the man for the occasion
and that it is well his overthrow so soon fol-
lowed bis Dictatorship; but until there is
such confederation of the Central Ameri.
can Republics there will be neither power,
peace nor progress on the Isthmus.

Cows and the Curry-comb.

It is probable that not one farmer in hundred ever thinks of using such thing as the curry comb and brush on his cows, although those in- struments are used regularly in the horse stable. Yet there is just as much necessity for keeping the skin of the COW in good condition as that of the horse. No matter whether the COW is suffered to run at large in the pasture all the time, or is kept in a stable or corral and fed, the process of currying and brushing will consume but little time and the farmer will be amply repaid for his trouble, both in the better appearance and increased yield given by the cows for their good treatment. That a currying is necess- ary for the health and is grateful to the animals may be seen by the habit which cows have of brushing" each other for half-hour at a time with the spiny surface of their tongues. The evident signs of satisfaction which they give when undergoing this process should furnish hint to the observant farmer which needs but little trouble to act upon. In some parts of Europe where cows are kept in the barn nearly all the time, their coats are as carefully combed and at tended to as is the hair of child's head, and it is regarded as a matter of necessity. No doubt this sugges- tion may be laughed at by many who are accustomed to let both horses and cows go almost uncared for from one years end to another; but the fact nevertheless remains that keeping a cows skin in good order and cleanly is of as much importance to her we'll being as keeping her Well supplied with nutritious food.-LiUe Stock Monthly.
