cd N “ TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. The Afghans im the Rear of Jelalabad. THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR. The Basuto Rebellion Fizzles Out. ' THE OCCUPATION OF ROUMELIA. —eceeneGieenoentiicl The Bulgarians in Roumelia Still Drilling. ‘i [Bx CABLE TO THE HERALD.) Loxpon, Mareh 31, 1879. The news from Afghanistan this morning is hardly satisfactory. The movement which has been apparent recently on the part of the hill tribes to carry on a guerilla warfare against the military posts defending the various lines of communication has evidently as- sumed more serious proportions than the public has been given to be- lieve. . An important despatch from Lahore states that the British officer in command of the post at Ali Bagham, a small village on the main Peshawur road, leading through the Khyber pass, and only ten miles out of Jelallabad, was attacked on March 24 by 2,000 Malliks. He routed the enemy after a severe fight, killing 145. ‘The British are reported to have lost only two killed and six wounded. The Standard’s correspondent at Labore states that according to official information Yakoob Khan is making no serious preparations for resistance, but ap- pears to postpone his submission in order to satisfy his subjects that he yields to force. The Times’ correspondent at Lahore believes the government is not disposed to press Yakoob Khan to a final decision until the snow has melted. THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR. There is but little news of importance from South Africa. A special despatch to the Stand- ard from Cape Town, via Madiera, mentions a report that the rebellious Basutos have already deserted their chief, Morosi. Indced, the so- ‘called “rebellion” of Morosi is reduced to small dimensions when the facts are known. The Cape Argus says that ‘‘among the people of the Bechuana Bay, allowed by the late Chief Moshesh to settle in what is now called Basutoland were the Baputi, one of the lowest sections of the nation in the scale of human- ity. These were placed in the southeast corner of the territory, under the rule of Moshesh, in a country so mountainous. that oul- tivation of the soil was almost impossible. This section of the Basutos has, from the circumstances here briefly mentioned, always been more troublesome than its neighbors. The local chief, Morosi, could not keep his people in order, and it was sometimes said that the gentleman who was magistrate in the district not long ago was as much to blame as the chief, Morosi, himself.” Not long ago, however, the most troublesome, man on the Baputi fterritory, Dodo, son of the chief Marosi, was arrested on a charge of horse stealing. A very indifferent guard was placed over Dodo and some of his friends managed to, effect his escape. Dodo hid away among his father’s people, and the magistrate called upon Morosi to give up his son. This the Baputi chief refused to do, and not only this, but threatened to clear out the magistrate and the local forces. The affair was at first simply a local one, though it was feared that it might be supported by other Basutos. But the desertion of Morosi’s friends seems to indicate that the English will have but little further trouble. A despatch from Cape Town to the Daily News states that Colonel Wood is intrenched at Pongolo, waiting for reinforcements, in consequence of several unsuccessful attempts to dislodge the enemy in the mountains. ROUMELIA—TURKEY—GREECE. France, ‘says the Zemps, has thoroughly re- solved not to contribute oa contingent for the mixed occupation of Roumelia. A despatch from Constantinople says that Feports addressed to Lord Salisbury state that the drilling of Bulgarians in Eastern Roumelia still continues, and that 70,000 men are now being armed. The reports tay that “the mere moral effect of mixed occu- pation must not be relied on, and that ® strong force is necessary” to keep down any rising of the population. It is evident that the Bulgarians in Roumelia have not given up their intention to strike for full union with Bulgaria when the opportunity shall have arrived. ‘Nor is the question of the mixed occupation settled, for a despatch to the Aforning Post from Berlin states that a report is current in the Prussian capital that Count Schouvaloff is urging a conference of ambassa- dors at St. Petersburg to settle the question of the mixed occupation, fresh difficulties having arisen respecting it between Russia and Aue tria. In the ‘meantime, however, the Bul- garians on both sides of the Balkans are actively engaged in agitating for full and com- plete union of the divided nationality. A de spatch from Vienna states, contradicting the rumors from Berlin, that Prince Bis- marek has arranged for the occupa tion of the interior of Eastern Roa- melia by Austrian, English and Italian troops; the northern boundary by Ruasian and the southern boundary by Turkish troops. Tho tntire question is, however, at the present mo- ment in a very unsatisfactory state. A‘despateh to the Zimes trom Vienna says the Porte is inclined to accept the conditions tho British government demands for its intervention in obtaining o loan, particularly those giving England control of the Asiatic provinces. ‘The Italian agent in Albania reports that the Albanians will forcibly resist annexation to Greece. CABLE NOTES, Reuter’s telegram from Constantinople says tho Greek Minister there is about to depart on furlough. ‘The Times’ derpatch from Genova states that the question of capital punishinent must still be sub- mitted to the people and the Cantons, but a dissolu- tion of the Chambers will not be necessary, A meeting of delegates from agricultural commit- tees of sixty French departments has passed resolu- tions against renewing the treaties of commerce, and in favor of the extension of protection to agricul- ture, and particularly the imposition of a tax of three franca per quintal on foreign wheat so long ae the price of wheat is below 90f. President Grévy, receiving the delegates to-day, assured them that no treaty of commerce would bo concluded until the se bone Chambers had come to a decision on the subject of the commercial policy. Ata meeting of operative weavers at Blackburn, on Saturday, after reports of interviews with the employers had been read an operative moved the acceptance of the five per cent reduction, and stated thut half the operatives of Blackburn were starving. ‘The speaker was several times interrupted. Another speaker urged a strike, The union officials pointed out that a strike would be inopportune. The dis- cussion was very animated and a show of hands nearly equal, but a ballot resulted in a majority of 401 in favor of accepting the reduction, the vote being 474 to 373. Many of those present abstained from voting, and they may be nearlyall reckoned as favoring acceptance. MEXICO. San Franctsco, March 30, 1879, A despatch from Tucson, Arizona, says:—‘Gov- ernor Marescal, of Sonora, has arrived here, The object of his visit is to have telegraphic communica- tion with the City of Mexico. He says the reason the revolution in Sonora collapsed so suddenly was because the federal government joined General Serna, and he withdrew to avoid bloodshed, although his forces were superior to those of both his oppo- nents."" THE PONCA INDIANS. MOVEMENT OF THE CHURCHES IN OMAHA TO ALLOW THEIR RETURN TO THE RESERVATION— AFFECTING SPEECHES OF STANDING BEAR AND HIS WIFE—A TELEGRAM TO SECRETARY SCHURZ. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Omaua, Neb., March 30, 1879. The Presbyterian and Congregational churches here at regular meetings this evening adopted reso- lutions requesting Secretary Schurz to send the Ponca Indians, now incamp here, back to the Omaha reservation, and not force them to go back to Indian Territory, wheuce they came. Prominent members of the Omaha churches held a council with the Poneas to-day and heard their story, which was told in most affecting terms. SPEECH OF STANDING BEAR, Standing Bear, the chief, suid:— Weare dying in Indian peg We know how to work and are willing to work. The as have sent 2 petition to General Crook to allow us to come back to their reservation. We are afraid to return to Indian Territory. I. hada son; he was a brave, good boy. Icouid not read or write or speak English my- self, and I saw it kept me poor. I gave my boy @ good cducation; he learned to read and write and speak English. I was proud of him. ‘There was no young man tribe like him. He was dear to, his mother: her heart was on him, When we reac! Indian ‘Territory he, too, was taken sick. He was sick a long time and died. Before he died he made a request of me; he said don’t bury me here; take_me back to the old reservation and bury me there. I could not refuse. Itold him I would, and his bones are with us here now. I want to go back with my people where our land is, and where our homes have been, and where we learned to work like the white man, and where our friends are buried, -I want to bury my son there and live there. ‘THE INDIAN MOTAER’S LAMENT. Here tho chief was interrupted by bis squaw, who burst into tears and groans and epoke several words rapidly. The interpreter repeated them as follows:— Ho was a good boy: he was a good boy. Tell General Crook he was a good boy and kind to his mother. My heart 1s broken. I wantto bury him in the old reservation. STATEMENT OF GENERAL CROOK. ‘The church representatives visited General Crook this afternoon and he said:— 1am sorry for these people and would be glad to see them allowed to return, but I am a soldier and obey orders. Iam instructed to return these Indians to Indian Territory. I will allow them to remain here for a few days. Ihave received a petition from. the Omahas that they be allowed retarn there. You can ask the churches to move in this matter. The Indians are managed to some extept by churches. Let them muke. such request as they think proper of Mr. Schurs and I am sure it will receive attention. ‘The result was the action of to-night by the lead- ing churches, adopted without s dissenting voice and telegraphed to Secretary Schurz. The condition of these Indians is pitiable, and they have the wniver- eal sympathy of the people here.

THE BELLEROPHON. Hautrax, N.8., March 30, 1879, It is understood the ironclad Bellerophon, flagship of Admiral Inglefield, will be relieved from this sta- tion in May and proceed to England. A CLERGYMAN EXONERATED, Aupawy, N. ¥,, March 30, 1879. Some time since the Rev. Johu Lumley, editor of the Zion's Watchman, was charged with lying, em- bezzlement, libel and attempting to obtain money under false pretences. Thocase being presented to: the local preachers here they held Lemley for trial by the Methodist Conference. Tho trial lasted four days, and the Conference decided that neither o charge nor @ specification wae sustained, and unani- mously juitted the defendant. The complaint grow out of the fact that after Lemley had sold a religious ss. called the Censor, which was pub- lished at Rockford, Ill., he took a copy of the mail ing glist and started a similar © with another name in this city. He claims that he needed the list to aid him in collecting subscriptions.

ELOPEMENT AND MARRIAGE. Their Present Life in a Tenement House and Prospects of a Western Farm. Journeys end in lovers meeting Every wise man’s son doth know. At least, so says the wisest of all wise men’s sons, and who can dispute his word in a question of love? Certainly it is not for the modest reporter describing the courtship and marriage of a New York belle and a Sixth avenue horse car driver to deny the ez-cathedra utterances of Avon's bard. Nor is there anything in the circumstances of the following story to war- rant an appeal trom his decision, It begins with a journey m a Sixth avenue horse car, which led to Miss Clarence Treadwell meeting her fate in the glances of Denis McQuinn, It continues with his journey to his inamorata’s house, her journey to the dwelling of a rival and the post marital journey of Clarence and her husband to Philadelphia, ‘The last journey was the return trip of the newly wedded couple from Philadelphia to a Seventh avenue tene- ment house, and there they are likely to remain for some time to come, unless 4 railroad ticket to the far West changes their present plans. “O, MISTRESS MINE, WHERE ARE YOU ROAMING ?” It wasin the carly fall of last year, while yet the weather was so bulmy and pleasant that the doors of the street cars were kept continually open, that Miss ‘Treadwell, who only the previous summer had graduated from one of the most fashionable ladies’ seminaries, and a few weeks thereafter made quite a furor as the bridesmaid of a lady friend, was be- witched by the beautiful eyes of Denis McQuinn. Seated in the centre of the car, she first felt their in- fluence, and, moving toward the front door, she sat down by the open window where she could com- mand a better view of her charmer. But no good driver turns around at haphazard. Attention must be paid to his horses, and Dennis was a model driver. So for blocks and blocks his victim rode on, remain- ing quietly seated until at last a mere incident, the calling of the conductor, caused him to turn, Ther his eyes again met those of the passenger, whose first impression was confirmed. Her second view of the fellow’s lustrous orbs only increased her secret longing to know more of their possessor. Any one who saw the young lady at the moment when McQuinn, unaware {that he had become an ob. ject of close scrutiny, once more fixed his glance im- movably on his horses, might nave seen her pull out of her pocketbook a tiny silver headed pencil, and, glancing furtively around as if afraid that some one were watching her, put down the number of the car inasmall memorandum book. Then satisfied that all was right, and the front door being happily open, she lightly tapped the driver on the shoulder and asked him to stop at the next corner. Once more she had a chance to look into those eyes that had en- thralled her heart. And, leaving the car by the front platform, she did not failto scan them for the last time as Denis started his horses off again. MAUNTED BY THE DRIVER'S EYES, . ‘The conflicting emotions thd® racked that bright young soul the night following this eventful meet- ing may not be descrived by reportorial pen. Miss ‘Treadwell, be it remembered, was not of the giddy class of young women who love to flirt for flirta- tion’s sake. Neither was she an ignorant, untutored maiden, incapable of measuring the consequences that might follow her infatuation. She knew full well that her sisters and her cousins and her aunts, to say nothing ot her uncles and other relatives and friends, would discard her at the first intimation that he meditated a union that would lower her sociul sianding. But still those fatal eyes haunted her before and during the hours of sleep, and re- appeared with all their original power even when the bright sunlight of the morning streamed into her handsomely furnished room. T! ‘was no happiness for her without the uctual presence of those bewitching eyes. Her resolve was soon taken, She would take daily rides on that identical car. In- deeed, had she not taken the number for that pur- pose on the previous day? And so she hurried forth, walking for a long time up and down Sixth avenue, awaiting the arrival of the car. But Dennis was discovered before the number could be seen. He stopped and she entered, accidentally of course, by thetront platform. ‘The ‘driver seemed to recognize her, but maintained his stolid indifference. On she rode, way down to the Vesey street terminus, and then, ying the conductor a second fare, she said that she had made a mistake, and intended to stop somewhere along the avenue. ‘THK YIRST BOLD MovE. Watching her opportunity, the front door being still open, and while the conductor was talking to some one on the rear platform, she approached the driver, and to the latter's astonishment told him him that she wanted to see him at her home. The poor fellow, utterly nonplussed at being addressed by # handsome lady aud requested to call upon ber at her house, did not know what to think. But handing him a slip of paper on which her name and and ad were written in full she said, ‘Now, don’t forget; I must see you this afternoon. Arriving at the depot, Lennis pleaded ill-health and asked to be replaced till morning by another driver—a request readily granted by the starter. Wondering what a lady residing with her parents in & prominent uptown family hotel could want of him, McQuinn put on his best suit and soon reached the proper address. ‘Tne young lady was already waiting for him. Indeed, time was precious, as the hour for papa’s returning from business was rapidly: approaching. Her story was soon told to the be- wildered driver. She wanted to marry him and bask in the sunshine of his eyes, which to her were al- most divine. His objection, however, was not so easily disposed of. ‘1 am already © ngaged to & young woman em- Di in w west side hotel,” he said, “Do you love her?" was the rejoinder, and the hesitating driver was captured before he could say another word. |“L'll see her and make her give up the engagement,"’ was Miss Treadwell’s iy sola- tion of this ditticnlty. THE RIVALS. But it was not 80 easy ot accomplishment as Miss Treadwell imayined, and as the sequel will show. Obtaining the young Woman's address she distnissed the object of her love, first, asa matter of course, ar- ranging to meet him again. A note was quickly despatched to the hotel where the fiancée was em- ployed, and the latter, not dreaming what the nature of the business could be, presented herselt ut Miss. ‘Treadwell’s domicil the next morning. Without further ado the latter unfolded her plans, saying that she was determined to marry the Sixth avenue horse-car driver. nt you never shall,” exclaimed Margaret in a “you vught to be ashamed of yourself to try ¢ him from me.”" Words can hardly describe the seene of passiomt and pleading that followed, and the first interview ended any way but satisfactorily to. Miss Treadwell. Days and weeks clapsed when at las., with the aid of Dennis himself, she endeavored to pacify the en- raged Margaret. But all to no purpose, until at last he himself settled the question by renouncing her and giving his hand and heart to the new love. All this, to Margaret's credit bo it said, was kept a secret from the Lreadwell family, and it was only after the driver and his young bride had reached Philadelphia that word was sent to the distressed parents. AYTEMPTS AT RECONCIZIATION, Acar driver's funds are never very large and the honeymoon was not protracted, The young man's presence among the young lady's acquaintances shortly after was for the purpose of reconciling the old folks to their daughter's match, and his good looks, it is said, have thus far done much toward ac- complishing that end, Still peace has not been fully re-established in the ‘Treadwell tamily circle, aud while efforts are progressing towant reaching this result, the driver's bride oceupies the second floor of @ Seventh avenue tenement house and there daily waits for those small hours when the hus- band’s attention may be diverted from his business to his wife, Friends state, however, that this will not last long; that before many weeks have passed Mr, and Mrs. McQuinn will be comtortably settled on a West- ernfarm, there to oujoy that freedom from social criticism and restraint which New York society fails . to grant. ph TER tap dt -aline DONOVAN'S DIFFICULTY, “ft's me wife, Jedge, and I want to have her put up. Sho’s drunk from Monday morning till Saturday night, and neither mo children nor meself have any ve with hor,” was the plaintive appeal of Daniel novan to dustico Kilbreth yesterday, ‘The accused stood before the bar, her hat thrown back off her head and her hair falling around her fa nd shoulders.

FOX HUNTING IN KENTUCKY. (From the Lexington (Ky.) Press, March 20.] In view of the fact that red foxes are becoming very numerous in this county a move is on foot to organize a tox hunting club. ‘The idea is to purchase a pack of fox hounds, procure the services of a hunts map, and master of the kennel, whose duty it will be to take care of the dogs. ‘The’ club will wear red coats and yellow pants, and their horses will have their tails squared. The number of gentlemen to compose this organization will be limited to fifty— twenty-tive from the country and twenty-fivesfrom, the city. SPORTIN EVENTS ABROAD. DEATH OF AVOWAL, [From Bell’s Life, March 15.] The horse, Avowal, by Confessor out of Rocket, by Artillery out of an Arabian brought from India by Lord Strathnairn, died on February 18, having succumbed to inflammation, through brutality. On February 11 the stud groom, unknown to Lord Strathnairn, rode him to covert twenty miles from home, when he did a sharp run of one hour and forty minutes (having been locked up in the stables- for many weeks owing to frost). This proved too much for him and he broke down com- pletely, so it was remarked by observers, in spite of which the groom still went on, and finished sixteen miles from home. ‘The return jour- ney was accomplished with great difficulty and suf- fering. He was instantly attended to, but inflamma- tion set in and he died in a few days, The groom decamped and has not since been found. It will be remembored that Avowal was matched at Newmarket in July, 1877, against the Prince of Wales’ Arab Alep, four miles, on the Round Course, £500, half forfeit, and won easily. His head, skin and feet are now: being preserved and mounted by Rowland Ward & Co., No, 16 Piceadilly, where they will shortly be off vie ENGLISH POINTERS FOR AMERICA, (From Bell's Life, March 15.] Mr. Pilkington has sold Faust to the St. Louis Kennel Club for £250. This is one of the largest prices ever paid for a pointer, but we heartity con- gratulate the members of the St. Louis Kennel Club. on their very excellent purchase, as our country correspondent has, from the first time he saw Faust, pronounced ‘him to be the best. pointer in England, and his successes last year at the Crystal Palace, Birmingham, and the Alexandra Palace quite corroborated the opinion. Faust is a magnificent liver and white pointer, possessing immense power and bone, and he is beautifully put together from head to stern. His credentials as a performer in the field are quite as good as they are on the bench, as he ran very weld, in the only field trial he Mas competed in; and he went so. well with Garnet on grouse last season that the brace was kept down together three days in succession in preference to. a fresh relay of dogs. The Americans are going in strong for pointers, but they insist on the highest pedigree, good looks and first class field pertorm- ances. The St. Louis Kennel Club last year pur chasedtBow, by Champion Bang, but not until he, had been tried very highly on the prairies, and we hear now that the same society, besides purchasing Faust, have bought Jaunty, sister to Fancy, out of Mr. Pilkington’s kennel, and Zeal and Lassic, owm sisters to Bow Bells, out of Mr. S. Price's kennel. CALIFORNIA SHEPHERDS.
