Penjdeh, where the first Russo.
Afghan battle was fought, is between
sixty and seventy miles south of the old
Russian boundary, and about fifty miles
Russians, but disputed by the Afghans
and English. 1t is, in fact, very near
the ce2ter of the disputed territory,
which extends from north to south
about 40 miles, and from east to west
about 100 miles on its southern side, and
100 on its northern. Il is not large
area, but is well watefed by the Kushk
and the Murghab rivers. which unite o
little north Of Penjdeh. and by the Herr
Rud, which bounds the territory on its
western side, defining tho Persian
frontier.

wealth nor their mineral resources of

istan and the passes into India. While
Pcnjdeh may not of itself be, as Lord
Dufferin 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 Penjdeh
and the territory above described, un-
less there existed the Interior purpose of
acquiring Herat, thus putting tho Rus
slams in position to influence the pol
icy Of the Ameer, and ultimately alb
sorb his entire dominions.
The more this question is examined
Ms to its political bearings in Afghanis-
tan 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
it is. and il possible force its retreat

A NOTED CHARACTER GONE.
John Mccullough Dead.

John Mccullough, the actor, died
at his residence, in Philadelphia on
Monday last. Mr.. McCullough's
death. although not entirely unex-
pected. occurred quite suddenly. AID
was due to ian affection Of the brain
caused by blood poisoning" DR..
Engel asserts that Mr.. Mccullough
was not insane, and that it was a
mistake to have placed him in the
Bloomingdale Insane Asylum, where
he was confined for a number Of
weeks. His failing mental powers
were first noticed in the early part of
January, 1884, and April of that year
he made iamentahle failure Of 9th
ello' in Washington. After that, his
ailment manifested itself at various
times in the loss of memory the
prompter ct times being obliged to
follow him about the stage. In the
summer of 1884 he spent some time
in Carlsbad, Germany. and returning
to this country in August, he played
q five night engagement in Milwauk-
ee. Thence he went to Chicago
where he appeared on the stage for
the last time in his life on the night
of September 20 1884, in the char
acter Of Spasta tacus in the "Gladia-
tor" His condition that night was
so bad that the curtain was rung
down at the end of the second act.
From that time he has gradually
grown worse, occasionally mending
slightly, but at all times his condit
ion was considered hopeless by his
friends He was brought to Phila-
delphia Sunday night, October %
and taken to the residence of his
family, where he died. At that time
he recognized no one, not even his
wife or his two sons, and had no
control of his muscles. He regained
the use Of his limbs slowly. and in a
few days was able to raise himself
to sitting posture. He continued
in about this same condition until
his death.

We clip the above from an ex-

certain? He goes on at considerable
length to tell, but proves that it is all
theory and guess work. On the other

stead England, haye instituted exten-
sive experiments to ascertain this
fact, by placing receivers below the
surface and analyzing their contents,
and by this means clearly proved that
the most valuable constituents of ms-

never upward unless under the rays
