THE AFGHAN DISCLOSURES. ANSWER OF THE DUKE OF ARGYLL TO THE LET- TER OF LORD CRANBROOK. {From the London ‘Times.] ‘The Duke of Argyll has written along letter treating the diplomatic history of the Atghan question. This letter is nothing less than a direct reply to Lord Cran- brook’s despatch by the Secretary of State for India in the government of Mr. Gladstone. The Duke of Argyl regards the publication of the Ministerial docu- ment as having removed from him any obligation. to reticence, and he makes public several important pieces of information which could only be known to one who held his former position. A similar course hes been taken by another member of Mr. Gladstone's late Cabinet. Mr. Childers yesterday addressed his constituents at Pontefract, and he challenged ip very vigorous terms the accuracy of one of the principal statements in Lord Cranbrook’s despatch. He denounces that de- spatch as “incomplete, incorrect, misleading and dis- ingenuous,” and he adds that if he were in command of the Prime Minister's vocabulary he should em- F & still stronger epithet. A good deal of irri- Wie iniecsmaeldeita political affairs, but, for the credit of English public life, we hope it may be con- sidered at leust out of place to indulge in indignation at a Minister's “disingenuousness.” Not a week without our columns affording evidence of the ibility of the most conflicting interpretations be- War in good faith upon the same transactions andthe same documents; and, in order to explain these tempestuous collisions of opinion, nothing more is necessary than to suppose, as all persons but Ministers out of office do, that Ministers, whether in OF out of office, are fallible. But, putting aside thove recriininations, the Duke of Argyil’s letter presents @ view of the course of our recent relations with the Ameer which is very different from that put forward by the government, and our readers may safely pro- sume that in Lord Cranbrook's despatch and the Duke’s letter they have before thom the main lines of the discussion which is next week to be opened in Parliament respecting the conduct which has led to the present war. THE PRESENT SITUATION. We may summarize the present state of the con- troversy by saying that there are now before the public three distinct accounts of the course of aifairs, ‘The first is that of Lord Cranbrook, in which the Ameer's hostility to us is traced to the hesitation of the British government at various times, but espe- cially in 1873, to give a sufficiently definite guarantee that we would ‘repel Russian aggression upon Afghanistan. This view of the case pervades Lord Cranbrook’s despatch, and the ¢stablishment of a firm alliance with the Ameer in face of Russia may be regarded as the key to. the policy of the present gov- ernment. The second view is that adopted by the Duke of Argyll, who agrees that the existing difficulty has arisen from our stance to give the Ameer # sufficient guarantee against the disturbance of his throne, but who considers that the disturbance against which he coveted protection was not that which might have been apprehended from Russia, but that which might arise from domestic dis- sension in Afghanistan itself. There is, how- ever, a third view of the case—that, namely, of which we yesterday ta f gave an account, ua having been put forward by Sir Henry Rawlinson. Sir Henry, as a member of the Indian Couneil, speaks with # knowledge of facts which is not far short of that of the two rival Secretaries of State, and his ac- count has thus much in its favor, that it affords a reconciliation of the two other views. He is disposed to think that Shere Ali was in the first instance prejudiced against us by our too subtle distinction fr'iu7s between his povition as ade facto anda do jure ruler, He was keenly disappointed at not re- ceiving our moral sapport against his rivals, and he conceived from that time a deep rooted suspicion of us. RUSSIA'S WORK. But this suspicion, in Sir Henry Rawlinson’s view, would at any rate have been harmless had it not been iven snbstance and point by the advance of Russia. 't is, indeed, the weak point in the Duke of Argyll’s statement of the case that he makes no allowance for the influence which must have been exerted on the Amecr’s mind, not merely by the conquests of Russia, but by her undoubted intrigues in Afghanistan. Hé passes over us scarceby affecting the case the tact that the Russians in Turkestan bad since 1871 opened a correspondence with Cabul; and he fails to see that if, as he himself states, the Ameer was inost reluctant to receive a Russian mission, the intrigues which at length induced him to receive it must have been very persistent. In fact, Sir Henry Rawlinson’s state- lent appears opportuncly to afford a working hy- pothesis for explaining the fact that two successive Hecrotaries of State should regard each other as pur- blind. One approaches the matter from one side and the other from the reverse, and the trath will proba bly be found in a combination of the two views. SHOT ON THE PLAINS. [From the Omaha Republican, Nov. 30.) Information was received here yesterday of trouble among the few settlers of Custer county, It seems that some parties on the Loup River have been steal- ing a good many cattle recently. Among the losers by these acts is I. P. Oliver, of Plum Crevk, whose range and ranch is between fifty and sixty miles dis- tant from that village. On the occasion of a recent depredation the foremah of Mr Oliver's ranch, Mr. Henry Stevens, accompanied by two of the herdsmen known as “Pete” and “Barney,” went to the camp or dngout of some parties believed to be guilty of the theft. The fo n was armed with authority to arrest the being deputy sheriff, He gave one of the supposed thieves to understand his purpose tw arrest the party, whereupon this individual started to get a weapon, He was immediately covered by Ste- vens’ revolver, At this instant the other alleged thiet whose name is Ketcham, fired from some place where he had not heen noticed, sending the ball through Stevens’ bedy, intlieting wound likely to prove fatal.

STORY. AN ASTOUNDING THE HUSBAND OF THE. MAN MIDWIFE OF GEN- ERAL CUSTER'S OLD ‘‘COMMAND” 4 SUICIDE. (From the Bismarck (D. T.) Tribune.} Corporal Noonan, of the Seventh cavalry, whose “wife” died some wecks ago, committed suicide in one of the stables of the lower garrison on Saturday. It was reported some days ago that he had deserted, but no one this side of the river had seen him. It now appears that the man had kept himself out of the way as well as he could for ‘several days. His comrades had given him a sort of cold shake since the return of the regiment from the chase after the Sloux, and this and the shame that fell on him in the discovery of his wife's sex undermined his desire for existence, and he crawled away, lonely and forsaken, and blew out the life that promised him nothing but infamy and disgrac The suicide was committed with a pistol and Noonan shot him- self through the heart. The affair created as in- tense excitement at the post as did the announce- ment of the death of Mrs. Noonan, but there was a sigh of relief on the corporate lips of the Seventh cavalry when its members heard that Noonan by his own hand hadgrelieved the regiment of the odium which the man’s presence cast upon them, De mor- tuis nil nisi bonum. But there was so much in Noonan's cureer that made his life oppressive, not only to those around him but to himself, that the hunt must be thorbugh to find something’ that will not reflect on his memory. On Thursday afternoon a reporter for the 7'ribune interviewed Noonan upon the unfortunate relatfons between himself and man who repre- sented himself as Noonan’s wife. ‘When I married her, sir,"’ said Noonan, earnestly, “I Delieved her to be a woman, and I never k w.to the contrary until I heard of the post-mortem. “You were a husband to her, were you not ?”’ asked the reporter, “i husband with all that the name im- plies ?” “I was,so help me God, but the later revelations mystity me. Ican’t understand it. She told me once that she was about to make me happy by presenting me with achild. We talked it over, nd th of us wished it might be a girl. Suddenly she apprised me ot the fact that e was mistaken of we both mourned the misfortune. During all our married experience we longed for children, but there seemed to be something £ could not understand that pre- vented the full fruition of our hopes.” “Are you prepared to say, Noonan, that during your marital experience you never dreamed of what the medical officers vered 7” “T mean just that. I dare not say that the medical officers were wrong, but I know that I am right, and Iknow that my wife was a woman. There some terrible mystery about this thing that I can’t under- stand, She lo rgesicn rope and rorya here at the post. ‘was trusted and respected by a number of Veen’ end I can only think that ake must have done something terribly wrong which de- ieee & disguise of the sex by the diagnosing physicians.” “But her wrong must have been to one of her sup- posed sex, and I can't understand how the alteration could benefit her,” “Nor I. There is something dark and somethi terrible about this thing. Where it will end don’t know. Iam but a sergeant, while those in con- trol of this thing stand far above inein rank. They can pronounce her man, woman God or devil, as they see fit, but Iam doomed to the iufamy and ‘can find no relief. As Almighty God is my judge my wife was » woman, and I care nothing for post-mortem examina- tions to the contrary. Why, I tell you, ae she wt one time had an abortion procured upon her. In her eurly life she was in the habit of carrying heavy bur- dens. ‘The effect of this was to so pox her muscles that she could not carry child, Three or tour hard sicknesses resulted, and I mg@clf was party to one abortion to save her the pain of another. After that— I may as well tell you the whole story—she told mo ot the coming tootsteps pattering on the clouds, but it resulted in nothing but pain and sickness."’ x “sergeant, are you lying to me, or telling me the ruth ?? “The truth, so help me God. I will swear before my Maker that she was a woman. But I can’t tell what could have induced this concealment of her sex. Ican't understand how she came to dic. There is something beyond my wife's grave that must be set- tled at some time, and there will be « time when the mystery will be ‘cleared up. It may not be in your lirctimeé, or mine, but I tell you, sir, the woman has been strangely wronged, and were I in # position to clear the thing up I would defy the world and prove that she was 4 Woman.” Such earnestness in facing the charms of the grave is entitled to weight, Wiile Noonan spoke the shadow of death was in his eyes. ‘There was something which awed the reporter. Noonan is dead. If # liar be is damned. If he has told the truth there is a tearful mystery,somewhere. A ‘MIRACULOUS ESCAPE. A MEMBER OF THE MARYLAND LEGISLATURE VALLS INTO A RIVER AND SAVES HIS LIFE, [From the Frederick (Md.) Times, Dec. 9.) On Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, as the Winchester accommodation train, Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, approaching the junction at a slow rate of speed, had nearly reached the west side of the Monocacy Bridge, the shrill, sharp whistle for down brakes cut through the keen night air with such start- ling suddenness as to cause passengers to start from comfortable snoozing positions and to wonder what on earth was the matter. In almost a second after the reverberations of the alarm signal had died away the train came to @ standstill, but only for a moment. The éngineer immediately reversed, and the train was quickly run backward from the trestle-work, again suddenly stopping upon reaching the cast side of the stream. A boy now ran through the cars bawli out the information that “4 man had been knocked from the bridge into the stream below, a distance of thirty-five feet, by the engine, ‘That the man had been killed was the natural conclusion renched by the passengers, to be followed by & Hutter of eatitetnons aad s general rush for the plat- forms, Inafew minutes the eastern bank of the stream was crowded with men with lanterns. About cight or ten feet from the shore a man’s head was discovered, his body being submerged in the water, at this point about three feet in depth.

He was carricd up the bank, placed in the baggage car of the Winchester train, and stimulants were applied, which had the desired effect of resusci- tating him. He was placed upon his feet, when a search was made for broken — but he in- sisted that he was “all right.” After being made us comfortable as possible by the railroad officials— Snpervisor Mantz and others—he was sent to | home at Limekiln Switch.

RAPID TRANSIT CONTRASTS. To rae Eprtor or THE Hrratp:— . While the Metropolitan Elevated Railroad is en- deavoring by every possible means to suppress or lessen the noise of its roud, the New York Elevated Railroad seems to have adopted a plan of action directly to the contrary. To say nothing of the great difference in point of construction and eqnipment be- tween the two roads, the puffing noise of the engines of the Third avenue line is intolerable and unen- durable. That it is not necessary is plainly shown by by the engines of the Sixth avenue road, which make but little or no such noise at all. Cannot this be reme died? VOX POPULL A HINT TO RAILROAD MEN.

Mr. Henry Kisch appeared for the plaintiff and Mr. Yelverton and Mr. Gresham Wells for the defendant. ‘The points raised for the defendant were that there was no evidence of any promise of marriage after the defendant came of age and that the Judge ought to have told the jury that what was sect up as an inde pendent promise was only 4 ratification.
