The Afghanistan Country.

The disputed territory which
lies between Herat and the Bobat
pass, forty miles of Herat, and
which Sir Lumsden is endeavor-
ing to secure against the Russians,
is fair sample OF the general char
acter of Northern Afghanistan.
For the whole of the eleven miles
from Herat to ParWana the road (if
such may it may be called) wiadE
steadily uphill, over successive
ridges of bare, broken rock, haunted
by small green snakes. Beyond
Parwana it dips slightly and then
rises again by degrees to its maxi
um height of 5000 feet at the
"town" of Khushk, a cluster Of
mud novels grouped around q tum-
BILE down fort. The famous pass
itself, steep, marrow, winding and al
most blocked in more than one
place with masses of rock that have
shelved from the huge crumbling
cliffs above, is the the most dismal
spot imaginable, ill deserving it's
name of "Bobat' { house Of shelter) }.
This charming section is peopled
by Jamshidi Tartars, who live chief
ly in tents of black felt spread upon
poles. They are a strong and
hardy race, despite their short stat
ure, but far from courageous in bat
tie, havingsstrue Tartar fear Of ''big
pistols" (artIllery). The caravan
route through this tract follows one
of the chief tributaries of Murghab,
appropriately named "Khushk'
(dry), it's condition in the height of
summer.

The Rov. clark and Marchant.

In a prominent city in Northen
Ohio, and a prominent retail dry
goods store, German lad found a
situation. He was patient, indus
trious and ambitious. He rose,
step by step, in position, salary and
in the confidence of his employers.
He was finally placed lin charge of
the print department with a salary
OF 81 400 year. He had so faith
fully improved his opportunities
and his time that he was well vers-
ed in the dry goods trade and felt
confident OF his own ability to begin
business for himself.
During his years Of his clerkship
he had made tho acquaintance of a
leading salesman in a prominent
dry goods house who had sold his
employers very largely. He inter
viewed him and asked him if he
would give him credit for goods if
he commenced business on his own
account. After an investigation on
the part of the New York salesman
be was informed that he would give
him credit for all the goods he
wanted to buy

The NIahdf,s Manifesto.

The Arabian papers publish the
full text of the manifesto which
the Mahdi has issued in reference
to his claims to the Caliphate. In
this document the Mahdi says: 81
testify before God and the Prophet
that L am drawing the sword, not
for the purpose of founding an
earthly empire for myself, nor to
amass wealth, nor to live in a mag
nifcent palace, but in order that l
may afford help and consolidation
to the faithful, with q view to their
Liberation from the slavery impos-
ed on them by the infidels, and in
order that the power of the Moslem
may be restored in all its ancient
splepdor. | therefore first resolved
to carry my sword, first from Khar-
toum to Berber. Then shall pro-
coed to DongOla, Cairo and Alexan-
dria, restoring Moslem rule and
government in these cities. From
Egypt l shall march to the land Of
the Prophet to drive out the Turks,
whose government is no better than
that of the infdels, and shall
restore the land of Arabia, with it's
two sacred cities, to Islam. Sons
of Ismail, you may depend upon my
soon making my appearance in
your midst with the sword Of
faith -

Guiteau's ETaledfctfons.

Some of Guiteau's maledictions
have been strikingly verified. In
one of his moments of real or as
sumed passion it will be recalled,
not long before his execution, he
held his bible high in the air and
with eyes rolling and gnashing of
teeth predicted that the republicans
had elected their last president;
that Arthur would fail of the nemi-
nation which would fall to Blaine
and Blaine would be defeated. The
fatalities attending those associated
in the prosecution are remarkable.
The district attorney, cursed by the
assassin, soon lost his wife and his
office. Two of the attendant bailif's
have died. OF the jury which con-
victed him, one has died and two
have become lunatics, two have fail
ed in business, and the rest have
! seen nothing but trouble ever since

Return After a Years.

A Tombsboro, Ca, special says:
The family Of Mrs. j. 5. Brady was
greatly astonished when q bearded
stranger, bent with age, stood at
the doorstep, and inquired for Mrs.
Horn, the mother of Mrs. Brady.
81 am your husband" he said, rs
soon as Mrs. Horn appeared. Az
ter looking at the stranger intontly
for a moment, Mrs. Horn swooned
away.
Twenty years ago W. c..
Horn, at that time one Of the most
substantial men Of his place, en-
listed in the Carswsll Guards and
served until the battle of Gettys-
burg. On the retreat he had a dis
agreement with his captain and de-
serted to the federal side. After
the war he wrote to his wife, but
the letter was miscarried. Since
that time he has roved all over the
country. In the Indian Territory
he met a Georgian, and learned
that his wife was still alive, but
mourned him as dead, and that his
baby daughter had grown up and
become the wife of j. S. Brady. To
see them once more he had tramped
all the way home.

her what she would like best, and
Becky confessed that to have her
wedding ring back was the hope Of
her life; and this led to the cause Of
its pawniBg and all the story of
poverty aGd sorrow. Then the dark
hours ended and day broke; and
there was foed in the house and fire;
and as it happened that baby Min
MES father needed just such work
as poor Nick could do, he gave the
place to the cobbler; and from that
day there was enough and to spare
in the little home, because of the
simple kindness shown to baby
Minnie.
$50 it's never time thrown away
to do a kindness to any one" says
Becky, often, ''for somehow you are
always rewarded for it. IfI'd left
the little lost beggar child, as I
thought it, in the street and never
stopped to care for it-as l might
have done in such trouble-where
would Nick have been, and the
children and me, this night? Not
that I did anything but what a
christian ought, but see how we
were paid for it."

Killing che CANNES,

The lost. and starving dogs in
London are carefully collected and
taken TO a "home," where, to the
number sometimes of q hundred a
day, they are killed by a process,
than which none could be more hu-
name. After being given a meal
they are placed in cages, graded ac-
cording to size as nearly as possible,
and with the vicious dogs by them
selves. The cages are then sur
rounded with an atmosphere charg-
ed with ehloroferm and bisulphide
of carbon. In one or two minutes
sleep falls upon the animals, often
stertortous, like that Of men in un-
easy attitudes or when dreaming.
They begin breathing fainter and
fainter, and in six minutes are dead.
Their bodies are then buried in
heaps of bog moss, so prepared that
decomposition is completely perfect
ed within week from interment.

Whereas, it is well established
that $9OO,O0O,OO0 are annually worse
than wasted in this country in the
purchase of alcoholic drinks; over
$500,000,o00 annually spent in the
punishment of crime and the relief
of the poverty and misery growing
out of the drink traffic; and not less
than 100000 our citizens sink each
yesr into druRkard's graves, many
of them leaving destitute widows
and helpless children, while over
100000 children are, from the
same cause, running the streets of
our cities in rags, instead of filling
schools and happy homes; all the

sellers; who are banded together
in the common effort to control state
and national legislation in their in

startling facts, inspired by a wish
