Peniaeh and its SURROUNDINGS.
From the Cincinnati Commercial

From tho Ciacinnau IumnlHtcAl
Penideh, where the first Russo
Afghan battle MAS fought, is between
sixty and seventy miles south cf The old
Russian boundary, and about fifty miles
north Of the line now claimed by the
Russians, but disputed by tho Afghans
and English. 1t is, hi fact,, very near
the center of the disputed territory,
which extends from moth 10 south
about 10 miles, and from east to west
abott loo miles on its southern side, and
$50 on its northern: II is not large
area, but is well watered by the Kushk
and the Murghab rivers, which unite q
little north Of Penideh. and by the Herr
Rud, which bounds the territory on its
western side, defining the Persian
frontier.
The valleys of these rivers are fruit
full, but it is neither their agricultural
wealth nor their mineral resources of
tho mountains that make the territory
so desirable. II the territory in dispute
is conceded to Russia, ii brings her
frontiers within hundred miles OF
Herat, the acknowledged key 30 Afghan.
istan and the passes into India. While
Penideh may not of itself he, as Lord
Dufierin says, worth fighting about, its
possessions by Russia would be sub
ject Of solicitude to England, who, con
sidering the steady advance OF Russia
southwark from Khiva, must necessarily
mistrust the motive Of this extension of
the Russian frontier. There could be
no especial object in acquiring Penideh
and the territory above described, I'M
less there existed the Interior purpose Of
acquiring Herat, thus putting the Rus
SLAMS in a position TO influence the pol
ICY of the Ameer, and ultimately alb
sorb his entire dominions.
The more this question is examined
rs to its political bearings in Afghanis-
tau and Northern India, the more es-
sential it appears for English suprem-
acy and prestige in that quarter of the
world to stop Russian aggression where
il is, and If possible force its retreat
back TO Khiva at least.

General Grant and Nellie sartoris.
Philadelphia Times.

IL is no wonder that the arrival of
Nellie Grant Sartoris has revived her
fathers spirits. Nellie Grant was her
fathers fayorite child and she was q
lovely girl. Being the only daughter,
he not only set great store by her but
had high ambition for her future. Even
AT the moment when her heart was 60
ing out to Sartoris her father was hop
ing that her future life might be prom
inent and useful one in this land. When
Miss Nellie came to the white house
she was still in short dresses, and hence
il is seen that she married very young.
Probably no other young lady in Wash
ington society at any time was more
highly respected or more sincerely
loved than was Nellie Grant, She was
bright, winning, affable, discreet and
generous to all. No ladies who
have occupied the white house
had more true friends than Mrs.
Grant and this daughter. 1t was
but natural, then, that the sturdy old
warrior should expect to soc one OF his
own countrymen, one OF its bravest and
best, lead this favored child to the altar
and then into a life as high Us any one
IN the country for which he had done so
much. This was no unreasonable as
piration, and her preference for Mr..
Sartoris was naturally a bitter disap-
pointment to her father. II was to all
Washington society. When il was an
nounced that this favored American
girl was to marry an Englishman chill
ran through the entire circle who enjoy
ed her companionship. But, while the
father was grieved, he threw no OBJ
stacles in the way of his daughters
choice. and the marriage took place. IL
is said by those nearest to the family
that her going to a foreign land IN
creased rather than decreased the
fathers affection, aud that as soon as his
malady began TO prey upon hrs iron
will his chief wish was for Nellie, IL IS
no wonder that her coming had given
him new heart. and there is much that
Is touching in the meeting OF the great
soldier and this child. He may not
have much longer TO live, but his last
DAYS will be easier. for the light which
went out of his house while he was the
ruler Of the nation has returned to make
his sick chamber cheerful and his last
days happier.

look, the present generation viii leave
rich heritage 10 posterity. II Is
astonishing TO see the improvement 10
the human form that has accompanied
the increase OF wealth in this country.
Poverty may be, and often Is, respec-
table, but IL is the ruin of many
hne pbysique, and It is. matter for
jubilauon that we have within our
borders a large and growing class who
can afford to be comfortable.
OF course there is danger of running
to the other extreme. The sleek and
well-fed business man is sometimes
suggestive of equity old age, as is the
buxom and robustious beauty of the
waddling dowager; but on the whole
there is "A most decided betterment.
And, although it may not be in our
time, we may indulge a reasonable
hope for not far distant future when
the toiling race of New England
farmers wives, that sallowp skinny,
salaratus-fed sisterhood, shall be ex-
tinct, and 10 their, place shall stand
a hale, hearty and happy following,
who live on the fat of the land, and
sell only that which they can not use
themselves, who have time and taste
to array themselves in something be-
sides a cheap cotton gown, and gladly
make concessions to fashion in the
matter of couture; who read something
besides the Bibles and, on the whole,
have almost as easy a time as their
spouses' beasts of burden
Take it all in all, we believe we
have good right to felicitate ourselves
IN the face of the world over our fair
women
The great and overwhelming ad-
vantage that la belle Americana pos
sesses over her foreign compeers is
that, although she revels, as girl, in
what the French call la beaute du
diable, her charm does not fade with
the tleeting years of youth, ard we
are spared the horror of seeing the
highAbred loveliness into the SEM
blance of big, labby, and some what
Incorporate cook, or the trigbtful
spectacle afforded by our continental
sisters of the shrinking and changing
Of pretty. piquant face to the weaz-
ened features of an elderly female
monkey.
Of course, innocent, unconscious
beauty is thing OF the past, that we
cannot hope to regain. The young
woman of the present day knows her
good points as well as She knows the
Contents OF her pocketbook, and what
they will buy in the market a good
deal better; but what she has lost in in
genuousness she has probably gained
in practical common sense. Boston

Communication being almost entirely
cut off, supplies were low and the
army did considerable in the foraging
line, On one OF these expeditions a
clerk at department Headquarters
Wiley Eritton, who was a very fine
writer and apt scholar, went out with
party of scouts south of the Poteau,
a stream that empties into the Arkan-
sas just above Fort Smith. They ran
upon a company of Texas rangers, and
in skirmish with them he got shot
through the left wrist. Returning he
reached Fort Smith and was laid up
for some days before his wound heal
ed and he was fit for duty again. He
then got it into his head that fighting
was not particularly his fort, siiice his
wound, neither was writing, and he
desired to get back to his old home in
Missouri. He went to Gen. Thayer
and asked for a discharge, but the
general, thinking he was too valuable

with so valuable and apt clerk. Wiley

micro-organisms. Nothing Is richer
in bacilli than ordinary hay, from
which they are never absent. Human
beings are never free from them. They
occur in the body in life; they are
constantly found in saliva. and the
