Whether or not the ombrogllo of the
great European powers in the northwest
of Afghanistan shall have any moro scrt
ons result , a anbiUntlal and permanent
benefit will remain In the ahapo of im
portant contrlbutloBS to the geography of
regions in Central Asia heretofore al
most unknown. Happily , the British
section of the pint commission appointed
by England and Rnseala for the dollmln-
ation of the Russian-Afghan boundary
moved to the place of rendezvous by way
of Teheran and end the frontiers of
northern and eastern Persia. On this
horseback rldo of moro than a thoniand
miles the intelligent eyes and ready pen
ells of the staff of Sir Peter Lumsdon and
of the correspondent of the London Il
lustrated News accompanying him wore
actively at rrork , and as their routes
travcncd In part a region perhaps
never before visited by a Frank traveler ,
their observations and pictorial nkotchcs
possess unusual Interest. The map o
the disputed territory east of the famoui
Persian province of Khorasean already
needs thorough reconstruction in th
light of their dsc6vcriot ! , and many o
the facts disclosed have Important tola
tlon to the pending questions between
Russia and England , and to the glgantl
struggle that may bo coming. From th
nairativo so far published , and to som
extent from other oourccs , the following
summary has been made np.for American
readers ;
The tract Involved in the boundary dls
pute lies inalnly > botwccn the two atreami
called the Herl-Rud , or rlrer of Herat ,
and the Murghab , or Rlvor of Morveaoh
named from the chief city on its banks ,
Both flow In courses of general parallel
ism from the mountains cf Afghanistan
to the westward and northward , unti
lost in the sands of the Hyrkanlan Stepper
or Khivan Deaont. The Herl-Rni
rises in the highlands Hazaro , and
for many miles , runs nearly duo west
between the ranges of the Safoyd-Koh
or Whlto Mountains , and the SlahiKoh
or Black Hills , both westward extension
of the great Hindoo Koosh. Soon af to
passing Herat , It bonds to the northeast
ward , and near KushanStllowithin
the Afghan boundary , by oil maps t
the northward. From the latter point ,
It forma the eastern limit pf Persia t <
Sarakhs , where it tiuks into the earth
to reappear further on , under a change' '
name , the Tejend , by which it ia known ,
nntll ita waters are finally absorbed in
a desert marsh , far to the north. In thi
rainy season , however , it flows with fnl
flood to the end ; but , in ordinary stages
it has a limited volume , which can b
crossed anywhere that the banks can b
reached.
The Murghab has its source in the an
dent Parapomisua of the Greeks , th
present White Mountains of Afghanistan
or Safoyd-Kon. It la divided Into uppei
and lower Murghab at the village of Mar
ohan ( "tho anako well" ) , above Ponjdeb
Until near the latter place its valley li
narrowed and shut In by rounded hills ,
pushing down from the higher country !
which at times reduce the river valley ti
a more defile ; but at Bund-l-Nadlr th
valley opens out , and thenceforward ti
the desert It is ono to four or five milei
wide , richly fertile , and once highly cul
tlvated. At Ponjdoh it is about at ita
widest , and the river hero appears as
fairly broad stream ( "wide as Rogon
street , " says ono writer ) of considerabl
depth , and flowing with a steady , strong
current of bluish-gray water. The prac
ticable fords npon the river are very few ,
At Pnl-1-Khusk which names a venerable
able brldgo of nine arches , decayed
but still serviceable six mile ;
above Ponjdeb , It receive ;
the waters of a smaller stream , the
Knshk-Rud , from the direction of Herat ,
crossing almost completely this ' 'Mesopo
tamla , " or between the river's countryt
The lower valley of this also contained a
numerous population of old , but has
been long deserted , and only within twc
or throe years has come to bo ropoople
by the Saber Turkomans fleeing from oppression
prossion at Merv. Up the valley o ;
Murghab runs the only direct road from
Merv to Herat , the possession of which
may have Importance by and by.
The major part of the tract between
these two principal waters from Herat t
the deserts , Is called the Badghia dlstrlo
from the nomadic tribe chiefly inhabit
ing It. It is 100 to 150 miles In widtt
from west to coat , and until about a century
tury ago supported a largo if not decs
population , as is Indicated by numerou
oatth mounds and other ruins of village
and cities. The most of these have beoi
entirely abandoned through the ferr'.bl
raids of the fierce Turkomans of Morv an
the Oxus , who ceino but to plunder , t
misiacro , to carry Into slavery men
women and children. The moro peace
ful tribes of the Salon Turkomans , how
ever , occupies in part the lower or northern
orn part of the strip , back from Sarakbs ,
and 'the Sarok Turkomans , who wer
driven out of Morv many years ago , th
region about Ponjdoh. Some districts
nevertheless , are still BO far a wlldornoe
that game is found in them in groa
abundance , as partridges , small d
wild boars and aesos , and other animals
and birds. The whole region , like most
very ancient seals of empire , ia almost
treoleas , and in parts waterless , though
the fluid , so precious in eastern coun
tries , may generally bo had a short dis
tance below the surface. Little of it is
sandy desert , but much is rocky or bar
ren , except in the river valleys. In the
Interior two range * of moderate height ,
ono of them with many rooky
peaks , connect the Elbnry Moun
tains of Persia with the loftier heights of
Afghanistan. The country thus possesses
important strategic advantages , and tbo
officers of the British commission deem
the holding of it absolutely noccarary to
tne defense of Herat and the political se
curity of Afghanistan. Any largo body
of troopj moving through it from north
to south , however , must keep mainly to
the valley of the fieri Rud or the Mnrg-
hab , from deficiency cf water and other
difficulties of the Inland march. At the
former river the more stoppe-liko country
drops dcwn in bluffs 150 to 250 feet high ,
which have natural posies at every few
points , although the skill of military en
glnoers could soon open others. One of
these , the Xnlfagar Pass on the east tide
of tho.Deri Rud , baa recently been occu
pied aho the poaition at Ag Rabat as
advanced poitj of the Rusaiins , The
former Is 120 miles from Herat and the
other is in the vicinity.
Thirty miles down the valley , or north ,
h PuM-Khatum , the position which hat
I jumped lnto , udclen fame as the principal
I Uuaailan outpost toward A/ghanUtan. II
Is not at all a village , much less a city ,
bat merely a bridge , as the name Implies ,
on tha Persian sldo of the Henri Rud ,
tbo Muscovites being encamped upon the
other , just below the bridge. This
brldgo , however , has some Interest from
Its title , "The Brldgo of the Lady , " hav

Tlmon , or Tamerlane , the great Asiatic
conqueror. The ruins of a caravanserai
of Tlmon's time are observable on the
Persian side. Hero the road from the
"aacred" and wealthy City of Meshed
comes down the valley of the Keshlf-Rad
but cannot cross the bridge , from the
ruin of the central arch , which was de
stroyed sixty years ago and has never
been replaced. Here some of the maps
place the beginning of the northwest
Afghan frontier , and the position is said
to have important military advantages.
Fifty-two miles further down the val
ley to the pair of towns known as Old
and Now Strakhs. The latter Is on the
Persian side , is comparatively modern
and has a small population , besides a
Persian garrison of a few hundred , with
six old-fashioned small brass guns. A
mud wall of about 700 yards dlamotor in.
closes the citadel and town. On the op
poslte aldo of the liver , at some distance
from its commonly dry bed , is Old Sa
rakhs , which has also become noted as
the headquarters of the little' Russian
"army of observation on the Afghan bor
der. " Toward this place the engineers
of the cz r are rapidly pushing the twen
ty-two Inch narrow gauge railway from
Klzll Arvat , on the Attrok river , 1GO
miles from Mlchaelovsk , on the Caspian ,
whora the construction of the line was
begun In 1879 , at the ontset of the war
with the Akhal and Merv Tokko Turko >
mans. The place is nothing but a miserable
orablo mud ruin , utterly abandoned for
permanent habitation , and only valuable
for military purposes. It was occupied
many months ago , soon alter the acquisl
tton of Morv , and at last advices abou
2,000 troops were there , with some
pieces of artillery , encamped in Turko
man round tents or "klbltkas , " withouf
fortifications. The traditional tomb o
Abel Is hero ; that of Cain is shown a
Old Sarakhs.
Eight miles above this point , at Klzil
Kol , jnay bo seen the "bund" or dam , t
very primitive affair of wattles and earth
thrown across the Hoii- Red , bjmean
of which inhabitants of the two village ;
received their water supply for Irrigation
and other purposes. All cultivation p :
the soil in this region is done by the ni
of irrigation.
Returning to the valley of the Murg
hab , the only place hero demandlnj
special attention la Ponjdoh , which hai
figured largely of late in the foreign dis
patches and where the recent fight oo
carted.
This is another abandoned snd ruined
town , evidently once of some importanc
But up and down the river valley here

scattered the tented and reed-hut village ;
of the Sarak Turcomans' , of whom this ii

north of Herat , and oven the maps pub.

boundary line running nineteen miloi
south of it , about where M. Lossat , thi
French engineer in Russian ecrvica pro
poses to the English government th
shall remain. An Afghan outpost wa
pushed across the border several month
ago on account of Russian movements in
the Mnrghab valloy.ono of which brough
the troops of the czar close to Penjdoh
The older travelers , from Abbot down ,
always mentioned this place as belonging
to the Khanate of Khiva , now undo :
Russian domination.
Further up the valley and on undlt
pntod Afghan territory is the frontlo :
town of Bala Murghab , whers Sir Pete :
Lnmsden , tht > British commlesloner , had
nntll a few weeks ago , his oncampmen
with an escort of about 2,000 troops son
from India , the Eleventh Bengal lancer ,
and the Twentieth Pnnjanb Infantry ,
This was the appointed place of meeting
for the joint commission in November
last , whore St. Peter has since waited in
vain for the wily RUBS. A pretty strong
fojrt is hero , protected in part by thi
waters of the Murghab flowing around it.
Herat , the reputed objective point ol
the Russian movement , is the large city
well known In ancient as well as modern
history , on the right bank of the Herl
Rud. It Is ono of the oldest capitals in
the Orient , Its time-honored name

town has probably about 50,000 people

Asiatic politics as the "Gate of India , "
holding the only practicable route from
the west across Afgbanland to Hlndo-

earthwork , most of It , no doubt , very
anolont. It la 250 feet thick at the base
and 50 feet high , crowned on top with a
wall twenty-five feet high and fourteen

In Jane , 1883 , Mlas Elizabeth Cleve
land , present mistress of the Whlto
house , delivered an address before the
Elmlrs , N. Y. Female college , which iho
Presbyterian Evangelist pronounced
"groat. " a deserved compliment to an
excellent woman. It was entitled "Al
truistic Faith , " and for her Illustration
she took Ohodidja , first wlfo of Moham
med , who was rich and much older than
he was when she married him. When
aikod In later years why ho did not'put
her away and take a younger wlfo , ho
replied that ho loved her best because
she believed In him when all men des
pised him. Oheuidja's faith made Mo
hammed.
There la faith in God , faith in self ,
and In humanity. The first produces
the others. Faith In humanity believes
that llfo Is worth living and worth saving.

loss nights of agony and days of distress ,
because of the narrowness of their code
and the selfishness of tholr purpose , restrain
strain them from resorting to those agen
cies which may lilt women to a piano of
greater usefulness and to a nobler llfo
Many a woman lacks the faith of Oho-
dldjah. If they had faith In tholr own
reserve of physical power , confidence in
the personal experience of others would
follow ; and Instead of a race of suffering
mortals slaves to the prejudices of those
whoso only interest in them is bounded
by their professional fees wo should sec
nobility of station reinforced by nobility
of mind and robustness of llfo.
The power to rid themselves of the

A CHECKERED CAREER CLOSED
Death of the Man Who Wrecked a
Bank.
The New York Tribune says : Willfam
R. Humphrey , of New Rochelle , died o
apoplexy yesterday. Coroner Tico o
Mount Yoinon will hold an Inquest this
morning. Mr. .Humphrey was born in
England seventy years ago , but 'tcamo to
this country at an early ago. Ho settled
In Now Rochelle and soon became one o"
Its most respected ( citizens. Ho opened
a drng store and did a thriving business ,
Ho served for many years as a Justice o :
the Peace , and when Now Roohollo was
incorporated as a village ho became
its president. While George J ,
Penfield was president of the Now Rochelle
chollo Savings bank , Mr. Humphrey was
its secretary and treasurer , and the great )
confidence that every one bad In his hon
esty and Integrity added to the bank'i
popularity and success. In 1877 It began
to bo hinted about that all was not right
In the bank , and an investigation ended
in the bank going into the bands of i
receiver , who had an export make an ox
amlnation of tbo books. It was found
to the amazement of the people that the
bank had boon systematically rDbbed by
Humphrey by moans of false entries
Ho would recoiro money from do
podtors and enter it In their books ,
but would fail to put it into the bank's
books. Ho never got mixed up witl :
the depositors though , because ho kepi
a private memorandum of tbo real de
posits. Ho was indicted for the crimes ,
but to great was the people's faith in him
that many refueod to believe in his guilt ,
Ho was convicted , however , and sen
tenced In 1878 to five years in the slat
prison. Alter serving hli tlrno he returned
turned to Now Roohollc and opened i
grog shop. Gov. Cleveland restored him
to citizenship a short tlmo ago. Mr ,
Humphrey was an active domooratli
politician , and attended many convon
tlons , at some of which ho was mad
chairman.

The Fair Box at Poker.
Waihiugton Letter in Boston Traveller ,
The craze for playing po er haa broken
out among faihlonablo ladles in Wash
ington , The dotnga of the Army Poker
Olub , where the llvoa and reputations of
so many olllcora have boon blatted , are a
matter of general knowledge aud got alp.
but during Lent , when U was ao wicked
to dance , the fair dames have consoled
themselves with the clatter of chlpa and
the excitement of "tbo draw. " It la
stated that one young society belle re
cently Joat orer { 200 at five sittings. This
la quite a largo anm In'a game where bet
tiog above 26 conta waa prohibited. The
favorite game among young ladles , how
ever , la the "penny ante , B-cont limit"
This is almost exclusively con
fined to ladles who have only a limited or
moderate amount of pin money each
week , but tbero la Bald to bo a heap of
fun for the spectators. Very few gen-
itlemon are admitted to tins gamo. A
much more refined and respectable form
of amusement has boon established for
tholr enjoyment. The poker parties ,
where both sexes play , do not use vulgar
chips , or still moro vulgar money ; that
would bo carrying the thing too far.
Elaborate and costly favors are provided
paid for , of coarse by the gentlemen
and then the entire party sits down tea
a game of "frecza out. " This Is a very
popular and entertaining style of amuse
ment , and is played < qulto extensively.
Some of the lady players have become
adepts at the gamo. Ono of the most
dcrmuo looking young misses in town re
cently defeated an "old stager , " tat a
party given at a certain iMbionablo resi
dence and when , a few evening later , ho
came back for his revenge , she won
enough kid gloves to last her a year.

"Do you sell them principally in Now
York ? "
'No. A great celluloid trade is done
.a the west. The washwomen oat there
must bo either bad or hard to get , so the
men wear celluloid cuffs and collars , ami
ave tlmo , trouble and rrnnoyanco. You
would bo surprised If I told you some o
'he high-toned men about town who wear
hem. They S don't dlsgniso the fact
and swear they have gone back on linen
: ollara and cniia forever. Celluloid goods
ilwoys appear laundriRd , and never melt
down in hot weather. The big celluloid
caff and collar trade begins in the sum
mer months Youths going to Coney
Island with their sweethearts want thorn ,
and old men , too. They are becomlnp so
lOpular that I predict that within ton
oars they will altogether supersede linen
or collars and cnfh. "
