Penjdeh, vhere the first Russo
Afghan battle was fought, lis between
sixty and seventy miles south Of the old
Russian boundary, and about Fifty miles
north Of the line now claimed by the
Russians, but disputed BY the Afghans
and English. II is, IN fact, very near
the center Of the disputed territory,
which extends from north to south
about Ito miles, and from east to west
about 100 miles on - southern side, and
$50 on its northern. It is not large
area, but IS well watered by The Kushk
and the Murghab rivers, which unite q
little north Of PEN 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, hut it is neither their agricultural!
wealth nor their mineral resources of
the mountains that make the territory
50 desirable. If the territory in dispute
Lis conceded to Russia, it brings her
frontiers within q hundred miles of
Herat, the acknowledged key to Afghan
istan and the passes into India. While
Penjdeh may potsof itself be, as Lord
fDuferin says, worth fighting about, its
possessions by Russia would bea sub
ject of solicitude to England, who, con-
}ssidering the steady advance Of Russia
| southwark from Khiva, must necessarily
mistrust the motive of this extension Of
] ths Russian frontier. There could be
no especial object il acquiring Penjdeh
and the territory above described, un-
less there existed the ulterior purpose OF
acquiring Herat, thus putting the Rus
SLAMS in 9 position to influence the pol.
icy Of the Ameer, and ultimately alb
sorb his entire dominions.
The more this question is examined
as to it's political bearings in Afghanis
tan and Northern India, the more es
sential it appears for English suprem
acy and prestige in that quarter of thu
world to stop Russian aggression where
it is. and if possible force it's retreat
back to Khiva at least. $8sT

Elephauts Tending Babies.

. Wea kness appeals powerfully to the
friendly protection Of the strong, and
even among brutes-at least the nobler
kinds-the appeal is often not i'll vain.
In the curious relations between mon
ster and midget We not unfrequently see
the fable of the lion and the mouse re-
peated without words. There is nothing
by any means uncommon or incredible
in the stories which have been reported,
SAYS auckland, about the children of
mahout being cared for by the mahout's
elephant.
The whole family Of the mahout be-
come, as it were, parasites to the ele-
plant by whom they earned their living.
I have seen baby placed by its mother
Systematically under the elephants care,
and within reach of his trunk, while the
mother went to fetch water, or 10 get
wood OF materials to cook the family din
ner.
No iackal or wolf would be likely to
pick up and carry off a baby who was
thus confded to the care of an elephant;
but most people who have lived a life in
the iungles know how very possible it is
for iackal OF a wolf to carry off a baby
when lying in a hut, when the mothers
4 back is turned.
The children thus brought up in the
companionship of an elephant become
ridiculously familiar with him, and take
ell kinds Of liberties with him. which the
elephant seems to endure on the princi-
pie that 1t does not hurt him while it
amuses Che child. You see o little naked
black child, about two feet high, stand
ing on the elephants bare back, and TAX
inc it down to the water to battle, vocif-
Grating all the time in the most unbe-
coming terms Of native abusive language.
On arriving at the water the elephant, os~
tensibly in obedienceto the child's com
mand, lies down and enjoys himself, just
leaving part of his body. like small
island, above water, on which the small
child stands and shouts, and shouts all
the more if he has several companions
of his own age, also in charge of their
elephants, al wallowing in the water
around him. II. the child slips off his is
nlnd, the elephants trunk promptly re-
places him. IN safety. 4. !. :. 4.

Country Boys il Nov FORK.


One 81 the most frequent Of the ques-
tons that are sent into the New York
newspaper Offices IS the one asking
whether lad from the country can
succeed IN the city. It is asked usually
by some youngster who has ambition to.
get away from the hamlet in which he
has spent he eighteen years Of his life.
and who is cropping blindly for informa.
ton and advice. The newspapers re-
ceiye so many questions Of one sort OF
another that, as rule,it becomes neces-
sary tomake it some ones business to
answer them The usual answer. to this
query is to the effect that nineteen out
Of twenty Of the successful men in New
York City came from the country and
that success depends not On where a boy
was born or reared or educated, but on
what he can do. The great trouble for
Young man from the country is to
get start-a chance to show Of what
stuff he is made. The lawyers offices,
| the newspaper sanctuns, the pulpits,
the Wall street Offices are recruited With
country boys, but for all that it is very
| hard for country boy to get an intro
duction or start. There are a hun-
| dred applicants for every vacancy. The
managing editor Of the Sun, Mr.. Lord,
told me the other day that he had on
average Of three applications in person
| from Journalists and four or five more
by letter every day, for work as re-.
porters OF editors, Mr.. Bowers, tue
city editor Of Che Tribune. saidfecently
that fully twenty men called on him IN
the course Of every week, to ask for
work. Mr.. Elihu Root, himself q. sue
cessful lawyer. thinks that the we'll
known lawyers have two applications
day on the average from young men
who wish to become lawyers clerks
with view Of practicing when they are
able to do so. Further inquiry led to
the discovery that there is in the
stores and brokers' offices and the
banks, the physicians and dentists,
| the photographers rooms and IN the
railroad offices, constant and per.
+ petual stream of applicants for work.
Of course, not one in one hundred is
employed. The tendency Of provin cia]
journalists to desire to come to New
York is natural, for the reason that New
York newspapers pay better wages. Il
smart, bright young fellow makes
mark in the country, he desires to gel
to the city where his talent will be felt
and where he can make Roadway up the
ladder, of fame. AS rule such make
the best men on the metropolitan
PRESS, and the workers on well
known newspapers are. nearly al
country bred. OF the Suns stat
only one man of merit was brought uI
in the city of the Tribune's, not any o.
the times, two only, and they are on tbe
reportorial staff. In the law, the pro
portion is very much greater. Hard',
