. The greatest activity prevails in carrying out the preliminary ■ measures for the construction of the submarine tunnel between ' Calais and Dover. No les3 than 7,971 soundings have been taken f rwhich have brought up 3;207 specimens of different geological formations. The tunnel, Which is to be 22£ miles, will be dug through a ; stratum ,of gray chalk. -. • ■ _ . ■ " The London correspondent of the Auckland Star writes :— Summarising the results of the three months' war so far, I may briefly put it thus : Both sides are where they were with the'difference that some 1500 or . 2000 British subjects have been killed whilst engaged in slaying some €000 Zulu3; We ijave invaded Zuhiland without reasonable cause and purely to gratify the bad temper of \ Sir Bartle Frere, and we have all but evacuated it after killing three Zulus for every British soldier who has fallen in the fray. Regarding the recent treaty entered into between Great. Britain and Afghanistan, a contemporary writes: — The third clause provides that the foreign policy of Afghanistan is to be under the control of Great Britain. .It is evident, therefore, that . Great Britain has compelled the Afghan' Ameer to allow her to guarantee the integrity of his territory. In effect, the result of the Afghan war is that the further* advancement of Russia in Central Asia in the direction of Hindostan is stopped. There can be' no further advance of that kind without war between England and Russia, and England has chosen the. battle ground as .'far w possible from the Indian frontier. The AngloTurkish treaty, which was concluded after, or simultaneously with, the Berlin Treaty, prevents any Russian advance— under penalty of an Anglo-Russian war — between the Black Sea and the Caspian. The AngloAfghan Treaty, which bars Russian advances between the Caspian and the Chinese frontier, {s'rleaily, therefore, the necessary qorapleraent to the Anglo-Turkish Treaty. The Afghan war thus has come to appear in a perfectly new and unexpected : light. It . turns out to have been a masterly stroke of policy, designed to complete the limits set by British power to the further spread of the gigantic Russian Empire. That Empire waa "gradually drawing nearer "to our Indian frontier. Lord Beaconsfield has stepped' out and stopped its progress. The military skill and valour 9hown by Ihe army in conjunction with the diplomatic force of the Government, has probably produced an impression on the hitherto all-conquering Russian which will be lasting. It is one thing to shoot down wild Turkomans and Kirghiz, quite another to face the matchless infantry- and artillery of -Great Britain, and the splendid horsemen of Hindostan. Whether these masterly precautions will after all be necessary id an open question, for the Russian Empire is in danger of falling to pieces. But as that, too, is an open question, it is eminently satisfactory to the British public that ; £he precautions have been secured. ' • v '■*•"' Coming events cast their shadows before them— those who remain too long hesitating Jget overtaken by the event as well as the shadow. How many a valuable life would have been saved, if the premonitory symptoms of coming disease bad been regarded ? ♦ f Ghollah's Great Indian Cobes/' if taken in time, are the most certain p'reyentatives of serious disease ever yet discovered. They are infallible remedies, and sold by all Chemists. : ' - ;r : .\. ...
