The Afghan war is perhaps the beg in
ming of new chapter in the eastern ques-
ton, which is settling down into strug-
gle between Russia and Great Britain.
The small state of Afghanislan extends
400 miles from north TO south, and 40
from east to west, between British India
and Russia. Its surface is very irregular,
with lofty table lands, vast mountains,
deep valleys and ravines. 1t offers great
natural advantages for defence against
foreign foes, and a campaign, even by so
resolute u military power rs England,
against the Afghans is no holiday af
fair. Tic boundary line between India
and Afghanistan is along a range OF lofty
mountains, through which barrier are
only two passes that permit the entrance
of invading armies. One is the Bolal
pass, leading from India into Beloochistan
ut point 40 miles south of the Afghanis.
tan line and southeast of Candakar. the
sacred city of the Afghans. The other is
the celebrated Khyber pass, farther north
and opposite Cabool 1t is said to be over
80 NILS long; narrow and running between
lofty mountain walls that furnish over
whelming means of defence against an
invading foe. 1t is along this pass that
the first collision between the Afghans
and the advancing Brtish-India troops is
likely to take place. The population of
Afghanistan is about 6,000,0 the largest
proportion of the inhabitants being bold
aud hardy mountaincers. England's OBJ
ject is to prevent Afghanislan from bccom
ing an ally Of Rassa, and to better watch
the operations of the Car in that part of
the continent So it is safe TO assume, the
Gar will give aid and comfort to the AZ
ghans and new Asatic eastern war
may soon be attracting the eyes of all OBJ
servers.

1t has been discovered that when con-
grcss passed the silver bill last winter, it
neglected to repeal section 3jll of the
revised statutes, which provides that "the
one dollar gold piece at the standard value
of 2j.S grains shall be the unit Of value"
This means practically that all values in
this country shall be measured by the gold
dollar.

The work of the two houses was COM
p,eted about 3 O'Clock this morning though
the final adjournment took place at 10: 80

We leave for later issue a review OF
the work of the session and will this
week say only that there have been great
many had bills killed to Offset the few bad
ones passed. OF course too some merito-
rious measures have me- fate they did
not deserve. But we think the work OF
1878 will compare ftvorably with that OF
preceding sessions.
The two houses were well oflicered and
Speaker Martins energy drove along the

that it was ut the last ahead of the more

The use of Representatives Hall having
been granted for the purpose, religious
services were held at the State House Sab
bath afternoon, under the auspices of the
Young Mems Christian association. The
Hall was densely filled, and the exercises
were both interesting and impressive.
Mr. A. j. Howe, of Montpelier, presided.
and conducted an appropriate Bible read
ing. Mr.. Camp. Of Newport, spoke of
the origin and work of the association,
and clearly showed that instead of its
being a rival to the churches in their legit-
innate work, it was their most efficient
helper. Effective remarks were also made
by Senator Mead and Representatives Cur
It's OF Lowell, Holton of Jamaica. and Rey.
Mr.. Hincks of Montpelier. The latter
gentleman was especially grati6ed that
the religious element in the legislature
should thus find appropriate expression,
in the hope that it might prove in some
measure an antidote for the pernicious and
demoralizing influences which uniformly
attend session of the legislature. On the
whole, the meeting was Xcr du.ly i'm
pressive and hopeful in It's hiucn e, and
it is a matter of deep regret thai Efforts of
the kind had not been Instituted erlier in
the session.

Chief JOseph's Family.

A CORRESPONDENT of the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, who has recently WIS.,
tied the Mes Perces, says: Joseph's
squaw and papoose have a buffalo skin
lodge, plentifully furnished with robes,
blankets and the paraphernalia of camp
and war. Mrs. Joseph, sole squaw Of
the hero, is a pretty, little black-eyed
beauty, with flashing teeth, fine arms
and dainty feet. Asmile and hand-shake
was her greeting, and with native grace
pointed to seats on the great robes. A
cunning little brown papoose, strapped
to a board, was brought forward for our
admiration, and it was funny to see how
calmly it continued it's nap while strange
tongues were chattering around it. 1t
woke without clamor, and placidly
yawned and blinked it's black eyes at us,
its arms pinioned to it's sides, and it's
whole body bound tightly in its buckskin
vest. Around the hood of it's board
cradle was hung q bead chain: hung
with ten cent silver pieces and little
beaded bundles that we guessed to con.
tain the medicines to avert evil spirits.
Our conversation with Mrs. Joseph was
confined to dumb show, but we learned
that the papoose was nearly a year old,
had gone through the summers cam
paign without once crying at inopportune
moments, and that it vas its fathers
idol, his only consolation since the mis-
fortunes of his people and the loss of
his daughter, a young girl, who disap-
peared the morning of their last fight.
She went out with the other children to
gather in the herd when the first attack
was made on their camp, and it is not
known whether she was shot, strayed off
into the strange country, lost, or joined
the renegades who made off in the night
with Sitting Bull.

jenkins Island.

The Louisville COurier-JournaIS cor
respondent at the Samoan Islands, says
There is a small island to the east
ward of Samoa about 200 miles. 1t be-
longs to the group called Souworof, and
was uninhabited until a few years ago,
when an American named Jenkins took
up his abode there with his family. He
claimed the island as his property, and
correspondent with Secretary Seward
about his claim, requesting permission
to hoist the American flag over the
group. The group was discovered in
1914 by st. Lazarif, commanding Sou
woroff, a vessel belonging to the Rus
sian-American Company. I think he
obtained the desired permission, pro-
vided no other claimant appeared in a
certain time. Any way, he flies the
star spangled banner and claims the
group under the protection of the United
States. He has established himself on
the largest island in the group, which is
about four miles long and three wide.
There is a lagoon in the centre, which
has no connection with the sea, and the
land consists of strip around, varying
from one-fourth of a mile to over q mile
in width. Mr.. Jenkins has been very
energetic, and is now reaping the re
ward of his labors. A visit to this little
gem of the ocean is by no means unin-
teresting. Yankee thrift has made it o
little paradise. There is a good road
around the island, and the owner will
take you a drive in his dog.cart along
the beach, bordered on u side by the
sea, and on the other by a row of cocoa
nut trees and bread-fruit trees-all, ex-
cept the horse, the result Of his enter
prise. He will show you a good SUBJ
stautial Westinghouse, and the houses
of his hired help, which consist OF sew
eral families of natives, a good stone
wharf, a trim-built little schooner, bnilt
by himself and son-in-law.

PurgatOry and Paradise.

In an account of a well-known New
York barber named Tom Higginson, who
died recently, the New York Sun tells
this anecdote A noted divine, who has
been preaching hereabouts nearly thirty
years, went into Toms one morning to
be shaved. He was not so generally
known then as he is now, and the fore
man assigned a green hand to him.
After a bungling Iathering, the fellow
began to scrape and tug at his customers
face. which CHANGED to be in a most
tender condition. The sufferer bore it
for some time with patience. Finally he
could stand it no longer. Pulling the
towel impatiently from his neck, he
roared out, "This is purgatory, sir /;
worse than purgatosy." Tom had just
come in. At once he pushed his subor-
dinate aside. He gently lathered the
great red cheeks, and softly rubbed the
lather in. Then with delicate touch he
passed the sharpest Of razors across the
growing beard. How is this, sir ?"
"This," the satisfied preacher replied
"why, this is Paradise" From that
day forward the preacher and barber
were warm friends, and Tom used to
tell the green hands story with great
oustO.

1t Ended All Right.

A pretty and accomplished widow,
living in Jackson, Miss, met at Sara
toga last summer a handsome and in.
telligent widower from Norfolk. Va; a
brisk Irritation led to an engagement,
and the lovers separated with the under
standing that she was to return to her
home and break gthe news to another
lover, who had Won her hand before she
went to Saratoga. But it was not 50
easy to be off with the old love Of it had
been on with the new. The Jackson
gentleman was wild, and despairing, con-
demning her as an arrant iilt, and VOW
ing that she should marry him or else
remain a widow. Letters from Jackson
to Norfolk the same from Norfolk to
Jackson more of them by every pass
ing mail, and warmer day by day, until
the postal sacks were menaced with
spontaneous combustion ; final result
flight of the widow from her home and
proposed secret marriage at Baltimore.
The arrangements were perfect, with
one exception. No allowance wa made
for the weather. The storm came on,
the rains poured down and the floods
clapped their hands in the valleys of
Virginia. The lady reached thetrysting:
point forty eight hours behind time, and
in a state of mental and nervous collapse.
He was not there to meet her; she
trembled, sighed, te%legraphed, cried,
waited two days, and finally resolved to
return to Mississippi. She took the
botel ~nronrietor into her confidence,
and after settling her account, started
for the Camden station 4; but, as she
was stepping from the platform, 10! a
manly figure. It was the gentleman
from Norfolk, who had been tearing his
hair and looking for her in every train
from the South, except the one by which
she had come. They were married that
afternoon at st. Barnaba's Church, and
went down the bay that night. One OF
the first purchases which they will make
on going to housekeeping will be an

A japanese Rip Van Winkles

The Japanese have the story Of Rip
Van Wrinkle in another form. A young
man, fishing in his boat, on the ocean,
was invited by the goddess of the sea to
her home beneath the waves: After
three days he desired to go and see his
old father and mother. On parting she
gave him a golden casket and a key, but
begged him never to open it. At the
village where he lived all was changed,
and he could get no trace of his parents
until an aged woman recollected having
heard of their names. He found their
graves a hundred years old. Thinking
that three days could not have made
such o change, and that he was under a
spell, he opened the casket. A white
vapor arose, and under its influence the
young man fell to the ground: His hair
turned gray, and his form lost its youth,
and in q few moments more he died OF
old age.

The Result Of Wrestling.

A fatal and most distressing accident
occurred in Berryhi)l township, n. c.,
recently. Benjamin and Robert Price,
son of John ]. Price, Esq, the former
about twenty years of age and the latter
about eighteen, were engaged in a
wrestle, when Benjamin threw his
brother and fell on him. At first the
younger brother experienced no pain Or
inconvenience from the fall, but subse
auently he discovered that he had lost
the use of his arm, and then began to
feel himself growing weaker. He kept
on sinking for q short time, when he
died. An examination showed that he
had burst an artery in the lower part OF
his neck, and had bled to death inter.
nally.
