Map of the Probable Seat of War. A glance at the district outlined around Penjdeh will show the relative positions of Russians and Afghans before the late- engagemant. Komarofl'sattack on Penj- deh may pmsibly have been prokaed by the Afghan garrison. But it is in suspici- ous eonsonanc with the spirit that has animated the eastern movement of the Czsr's armies. When Russia began her eastward march irom the Caspian Sea it was known that she would not stop until she reached the gate of India. Khita, Bokhara, BallrhI Merv fell into her hands, and her troops went southward from Merv toward Herat. Herat was admit- tedly Afghan, and therefore under British protection. But just to the north of Herat, in the valley of the Rivers Mur- ghab and Heri-Rud, there were many places which, as some said, belonged to Afghanistan, and as others said, be- longed to Turkestan. If they belonged to Afghanistan. then England claimed their protectorate. If they belonged to Tur- kestan, then Russia claimed their pisses- sion. A commission was appointed to determine the ownerehip of these p‘ncea, and Sir Peter Lumsden, an Anglolndian oflisial, represented English interests in this body. While it was preparing to survey the ground the Afghans seized and occupied Penjdeh, one of Paying a Scoundrel. Alexander Dumas contributes to the Curieuac an anecdote told him by the late Henri Didier. who was a Deputy under the Second Empire, Didier'e father was Secretary to the Minister of the Interior at the time when the Duchess de Berri was arrested at Nantes at the end of her attempt to raise the country against Louis Philippe and in favor of her son, the Count de Chambord. The traitor, Deu’z, agreed to tell to the Government the secret of her hiding place for 500,000 francs, and it was the elder Didier's duty to pay the scoundrel for his dirty work. He took his son Henri into the office and said : “Look well now at what passes, and never forget it. You will learn what a. [ache is, and the method of paying him.” Deuiz was then brought into the room where M. Didier was standing behind the desk on which were planed two packets, each con- taining 250,000 francs. As Dani z neared the desk, M. Didier made a sign for him the desk, M. Didier made a sign for nun to stop ; then, taking a. pair of tongs. he extended the packets one after the other into the hands open to receive them. Not a word was spoken ; and, when the trans- fer was effected, M. Dldler pointed to the door. The petrified forest near Corizo. on the Little Colorado, is a. sight which travellers should not miss. The visitor to the ferest begins to see the signs of petrifactlon hours before he reaches the wonder. Here and there, at almost every stepin the road, small pieces of detached limbs and larger stumps of trees may be seen, almost hidden in the white sand. The road at a distance often miles from Coriso enters an immense basin, the slope being nearly a semicirle, and this is enclosed by the high banks of shale and white clay. The petrified stumps, limbs, and, in fact, whole trees. lie about on all sides; the THETiiUSéb-EmHAN DEFFICULTY. A Petrified Forest [ years 11 hills th: disputed puts, and “i the Rus- sians seizad and ozcupied PuliKhatun another of the disputed posts indicated 1,01] the map. A loui cry was raised in Eng- land concerning the actions of the Rue- sians. and just whenit reachedits loudest pitch General K )mzrofl‘, the Russian com- mander, fouczht an engagement with the Afghans. Wnereuoon England demand- ed that General Komarofl‘ should make an explanation, and that his troops should withdraw from the debatable region. The objective point of both English and Bus- sians will be Herat, the “ Key to India.” The topographical features of the district surrounding this city show that the appel- lation “Hill Throned Herat" is not un- merited. The Rabat Pass between the Barkheet mountains to the south-east of Pondjeh, is a narrow defile through which the Russian armies musw reached Her-at. The latest cables anncuece that Sir Peter Lumsden is actively engaged formfying this point. If this be true there is little danger of a Russian coup de main, as this defile, walled in by tin-scalable preclpices. could be held against an army by a hand- fal of men. If the Afghans are as friend- ly to England as Ahdurrahsm, their Amper. assens, then Sir Peter Lumsden, the British Commissioner, will have no difliculty in occupying this strong position and preparing to stand a siege within irs walls. He will then wait for reinforce- ments from India. It’s no Secret that Dr. Pierce‘s Com- pound Extract of Smart-Weed is com- posed of best genuine French Brandy, distilled Extract of Smart-Weed and Jamaica Ginger Rmt, with Csmphor Essence, and constitutes, therefore, the best remedy yet known for colic or cramps, cholera morbus, diarrhea, dysentery or bloody-flux, or to break up colds, fevers and inflemmstory attacks. 50 cents.
