That Kiss.
She came to school, a lovely girlie,
With golden hair so fair and curly.
As I, a lad, her school attended.
Beneath her sway my young heart bended.
When on the stairway I would meet her,
I'd think I ne'er saw darling sweeter:
And tho' I studied Cicero.
I wanted much to kiss her, oh,
And often tried, with Romin daring,
The maiden from her watchers snaring.
full often pegging hard nt I.-itln,
I'd hear the swiss of silk, or satin.
And looking up from tiring duty.
Would see the little dimpled beauty
Then how my heart would start a-thumping,
Up 'ncath my jacket bumping, bumping.
But Latin, mathematics botching,
hull for my chance I kept a-watching.
ZZX3'2ly her "nursie" missed her,

IN CENTRAL ASIA.
Her'tljtess Across the Deserts and
Over the Great Oasis of Turkestan.
A little east of the narrow tract now
in dispute between Russia and Afghan
istan is that extensive protuberance
called by tho natives the Pamir, or the
Roof of tho World. This wonderful pla
teau, furrowed by deep valleys, through
which flow tho head streams of great
rivers, is the loftiest in tho world, and
stretches away for some hundreds of
miles from 10,000 to 15,000 feet above
the sea. It is an elevated isthmus con
necting those almost impassable moun
tain systems of Asia, tho Thian Sban
and Altai on the north, with tho Hindoo
Koosh and Himalayas on tho south.
Hero history places tho cradle of the
European races. Here lived our Aryan
forefathers, who, leaving tho Pamir
slopes, followed great rivers westward,
and finally pastured their herds in Eu
rope. Hither are returning now their
descendants, tiie Slavs and Celto-Sax-ons,
sooner or later to contend for the
supremacy of Asia upon the historic
grounds from which their primitive pro
genitors arc believed to have migrated.
The Pamir sent its waters west to fer
tilize the Turkestan desert, gave the
nationB a passageway through mountain
barriers along its streams that poured
eastward into theTarim and southward
into the Ganges and the Indus, nurtured
the civilization that Genghis Khan and
Tamerlane founded in Turkestan, and
made possible the advance of Russia
into Central Asia.
Though Peter the Great dreamed of
extending Russia's power far beyond
tho Caspian, it Mas not greed of con
quest or commerce, but the need of de
fending herself against barbarous neigh
bors across the Ural that first turned
Russia toward Central Asia. Ivan III.
put an end to the terrible Tartar inva
sions that for centuries wasted half of
Russia and laid its chief cities in ashes.
Rut his successors did not free Russia
from the pest of pillaging Kirghiz and
Turcoman tribes until they established
tho Muscovite power in the large terri
tory between the Ural river and the
Aral sea. They sank ells in the Ust
Urt plateau to facilitate the operations
of their army, marched against the tur
bulent Kirghiz, and after several hard
campaigns they subdued these 2,000,000
nomads, who for over 20 years have
paid their conquerors without a murmur
their annual tax of three rubles a tent.
Beyond the Kirghiz steppes that
bordered Russia stretched far eastward
across the deBert two belts of verdure,
through which flow two great rivers,
the ancient Ozus and the Jaxartes, now
known as the Amu-Daria and the Syr
Daria. The ono rising on the southern
and tho other on the northern slope of
the Pamir, had for ages distributed over
their banks alluvium borne on rapid
tides to their headwaters, creating long
and continuous oases in the midst of the
most desolate desert of the world. Hero
were rich lands and populous half-civilized
nations. Here were the routes to
inner Asia, caravan roads that led to
China, tho highways over which great
camel trains from Bokhara had for many
years borne to Orenburg and Astrakhan
tlielr loads of cotton, Bilk, skins and uha
green leather to exenange for Russian
hardware, chintz and guns. Here was
a chance for vast expansion of Muscov
ite power and commerce. Russia's mo
tive was no longer self-protection, but
tho subjugation of the khanates of Turk
estan and the extension of trade.
The three khanates are estimated to
contain from 6,000,000 to 0,000,000 peo
ple. Vambrey says that in tho richness
of their soil and in tho variety of their
productions it would be difficult to find
in Europe a territory that would surpass
tho oasis countries of Turkestan. Bok
hara, ancient seat of Mohammedan
learning, still attracts thousands of stu
dents from India, Afghanistan, Cash
mere and China. Tho town has
175 mosques, and when Vambery
visited it 5000 students wore study
ing theology, logic and philosophy
in its 80 colleges. Tho chief cities
of tho Khokand oasis, Tashkeiid,
Tchemkent, Khodjend und others, aro
scatterod along tho rich valley of tho
Syr-Daria. Several thousand Russian
and Cossack peasants havo, with gov
ernmental assistance, becomo tillers of
the soil near Tashkend and Samarcand.
Tashkend has 100.000 population, 13
inns, 10 colleges and many mosques, j real men. Naturally sho fancies that sloner for tho purpose of settling dis
and its exports and imports in 1878 her ideal men must bo somewhere, since putcs arising out of tho frontier question
amounted to $24,000,000. Tho Kbivan thoy aro not within hor own circle, and and definitely fixing on a dividing lino

their frontier joins that of Russia. Both I
these great rivera aro vnluablo artorics
of trade, but tho Oxus, though tho fer
tile lands along its banks aro not so ex
tensive nor so populous as thoso along
the Syr-Daria, is destined to bo commer
cially the mora important stream.
While tho Syr-Daria leads only toward
the comparatively barbarous countries
ot East Turkestan and Thibet, the Oxus
vt ill carry tho freightage of Russia al
most to the gates of India. It is evident
to tho students of her progress in Cen
tral Asia that Russia's commercial aims
include not only a vast augmentation of
hor overland trade with China, but tho
opening of India to her products as the
row art! of her long and, as yet, illyro
quited sacrifices m Turkestan. Tho
revenues from her new possessions as
yet cover hardly a third of the annual
expenditures.
When Russia had conquered tho khan
ates there was still hard work for her
armies south of the Oxus, where largo
tribes of wild Turcomans constantly
menaced her enterprises, and blocked
the way to Herat. Somo years after
Khiva fell, Skobeleff and his Cossacks
scattered tho Teke Turcomans, tho
greatest slave hunters and most lawless
nanuids who roamed the desert of Kara
Kum. Last year the last stronghold of
this tribe was occupied by Russian
troops. It was the earth fort they were
building in a bend of the Murghab river
at Merve when O'Donovan visited them
four years ago. Its ramparts, -15 feet
hich and 00 feet wido at tho base, were
speedily knocked to pieces, and Merve
now forms part of the Russian Trans
caspian province. Years before, Sir
Henry Rawlinson, tho greatest author
ity on Central Asia, had told the British
government that "Herat is at the mercy
of tho general who occupies Merve."
But public opinion in England did
not keep pace witli the march of
events in Asia, and it was- not till
the Russian forces had left the
Merve oasis and received tho sub
mission of the Turcomans south of
Sarakhs that Great Britain awoke to
the belief that the czar was threatening
Herat and menacing India. New York

A Woman Explains Why Men do not
Marry.
TNcw York Mail and Express.
At a small party of w orkers and think
ers a few nights ago, says a letter w rit
cr in this city, I was in a group that dis
cussed the distasto for marriage jvliich
characterizes the girlhood of tho day.
One young lady had fortified herself
with a newspaper clipping on tho sub
ject, which she drew from her pocket
and read, as further substantiating her
position. It was to the effect that husband-hunting
maidens, young or old,
were very much scarcer than of yore ;
that instead of being anxious to marry,
girls wero slow of inducement in that
direction.
"It is true," said the young lady. "I
scarcely know a girl who wants to mar
ry. They are learning something in the
way of a profession, something that will
interest them as well as support
them, two roles in which husbands
just now fail. The truth is, we are
scared away from any desire to mar
ry by seeing how wretched those who
do marry are. Where would we look
for husbands? Among tho 'snips' and
'sports' and characterless young men
tliat till onr drawing rooms? lliey are
insufferable as mere acquaintances or
beaux ; who could contemplate them as
husbands? I have always thought that
if I could find a young man at all like
my father I could love and marry him ;
but that school of men has vanished
from the younger ranks."
Nobody doubts that she expressed the
convictions of a large representation of
young women. Their lack of interest
in marriage is not due to the larger act
ivities winch continually open before
women, but to the unattractive, unrelia
ble material in the way of husbands.
Women are women, and would love and
marry as readily to-day as when the
world was new if thoy came in contact
with men trho arouaod tlifir respect and
admiration. The order of maidenhood
that could content itself with an inferior
article of husband, merely for the sake
of being married, lias also vanished.
The young woman of the period has too
much character and self-respect to dread
being an old maid so much that she
would contract an uncongenial union to
escape it.
Tho same evening I had a chat with
rny bright young hostess about ineffi
cient men, a sort of annex to tho con
versation just recorded. She wondered
what would becomo of the human raco
if the men kept 011 deteriorating at tho
rate of the last 20 years. She declared
it was almost exceptional for tho young
men of first-class society to support their
wives. They married into rich families,
and at tho end of two or three years
wero pensioners on the relations of their
wives. "It is astonishing," she said,
"how few young women who aro sup
posed to bo rich really depend upon
their husbands for luxuries or even sup
port. Their fathers orgrandfathers fur-
nisi, the money that supplies their
homes oftener than tho outside world ;

"Do yon think tho class of incfllrcnt
men aro really increasing?" I asked,
"Alarmingly, and in all ranks of soci
ety, but most among the rich. I scarce
ly know a married woman intimatoly
who feels secure who has confidence
In her husband's energy, nbillty and

Army and Navy Journal.
Story of a Love Letter in a Bottle.
A sea captain related to a Boston re
porter that, June 4, 1831, the schoonor
R. Bowers, Capt. Thompson, bound to
Gloucester from Messina, was pitching
about in a long ocean swell in latitude
42 deg. 40 min., long. CO dcg. 47 min.
They had made a good run thus far, but
on this particular day struck a dead
calm. There was little to do, except to
watch tho vessel and whistle for wind,
and several schemes were invented by
the officers to pass away the time.
Cruik8hank, the second mate of the
schooner, had left a sweetheart at homo,
and naturally his mind drifted across
the watery waste to her bright eyes.
Noticing his preoccupied manner, tho
captain's wife suggested that he send
his love a message from the sea. The
idea seemed a good one. He wrote a
note, inclosed it in an envelope, ad
dressed it to to the young lady at Big
Brook, Cape Breton, inclosed tho wholo
in a bottle, and threw it overboard.
There was great speculation at the time
as to wliero the bottle would bring up ;
but in a few hours a brcezo sprung up
and, in working the vessel, all thoughts
of the bottle and its contents wero for
gotten. Tho schooner in due time ar
rived in Gloucester, and Cruikshank
started for Capo Breton. His arrival
was expected, but his astonishment may
be imagined when his lady-love brought
forth the identical bottle which the mato
had thrown into tho sea, and produced
the noto contained therein. The story
of the drift was a singular one. It had
been picked up on the shores of Little
Dover bay, on the east end of Nova Sco
tia, after a drift of 41 days, and tho
finder sent it to the young lady. An
other singular circumstance connected
with the finding of the bottle was the
fact that tho finder turned out to be a
near relative of Cruikshank, although
they never had seen each other.
The Afghans havo been tho theme
for some past, but little has been said
regarding their arms. Tho Afghan
matchlock or jazail has no parallel as a
firearm on tho faco of tho earth. It is
about nine feet long, and is fitted near
the muzzle with a prong which sup
ports it on the earth when it is about to
be fired off. It is fitted with a liowder
can and a catch for holding a fuse, and,
therefore, he is by no means a certain
shot. During the last Afghan war it
used to bo a joke among tho British sol
diers, that an Afghan would poiso his
jazail upon a rock, calculate when his
enemy would be likely to arrive in front
of his muzzle, fix his fuse, and then go
off to some little distance and sit down
and smoke. If the enemy nrrived in
front of tho matchlock just as it went
off, why then ho would most likely bo
killed ; but if ho didn't and tho weapon
went off a quarter of an hour after he
had passed it, then no harm was done,
and its owner would philosophically set
tho jazail again in hopes of catching the
next comer, and then go off to his rock,
smoko and await developments.
Secretary Manning has given direc
tions to stop tho issue of $1 and 2 notes,
withaviow of forcing into circulation
the silver dollars anil subsidiary coins.
Treasurer Jordan is in entire sympathy
with this policy and will endeavor to
make it a success. Ho is firmly con
vinced that tho stoppage, of $1 and $2
bills would bring into circulation small
silver coins. Tho trouble has been that
small silver coins havo flowed into the
banks, only to bu forwarded to Wash-
1 ington for redemption. When tho banks
discover that they cannot get f 1 and $2
notes at Washington, they will pay out
small silver, of which about $32,000,000
of tho $50,000,000 coinage remains in
tho treasury.

M. O. Russell of Lake City, Lonlsl
nnn. has been appointed agent of tho
British government to engage a number
of river pilots for service on tlio nno.
Several northwestern pilots entered
that service last year, and wero so much
more satisfactory than any pilots tho
novernnient had ever engaged that Rus
sell has been deputized to import a dozen
more. Ho Iwh already secured tho sor
vkvsofslx. Thoy will bo paid K0 a
month and all expenses from tho ttiuo
they leave America until thoy return.
Tho timo of service Is 0110 year, tho gov
ernment reserving tho right to extend
to 18 months. Thoy are to run on
transport steamers on tho Nile, 11 num
ber of which aro building, similar to the
Mississippi river steamers.
Postmaster General Vilas has inform
ed democratic congressmen that whore
there aro several applicants for a jnwt
office tho candidate considered most fit
must be so designated by tlio member
from tho district. Many representatives,
not caring to incur enmities, havo taken
tho safe course of indorsing all tho ap
plicants as good, leaving to tho depart
ment tho responsibility of making tho
selection. Vilas says this is a resjionsi
billtythat ho does not propose to an'
sume and that unless congressmen de
sicnate their selections thoy need not
call upon him to make changes.
Speaking of the election of a republi
can stato senator in a democratic district
of Illinois lately, a Washington social
says: Tho fact is not to he disguised,
despito all explanations which havo
been made, that the democrats aro not
satisfied with tiro course of thoadminis
tration at Washington. They saw lead
inc republican ollico-holders, somo of
them whose terms had expired, manag
ing tho recent election in tho interest of
Logan, and openly defying all rules laid
down by tho president relating to tho
civil sorvice.
Tho United Slates supremo court has
decided that Tennessee as well as Vir
ginia must pay her debts. Tho technical
issues in the two cases were different,
but the Kcneral effect is the same that
a stato that Issues bonds is liable to the
bondholders for the payment of interest
and principal on them, and cannot re
pudiate the indebtedness by subsequent
legislation.
Government clerks buy more tickets
in tho Louisiana lottery than any other
class of people. It is said that about
$20,000 por month go into the coffers of
tho oily Dauphin of New Orleans from
clerks in various departments. The sec
retaries intend to put a stop to this gam
bling, if they can get the names of the
clerks who woo fortuno in this uncertain
manner.
The right ot fruit to a large place in
every person's diet is urged by the
Lancet, London's famous medical jour
nal, on tho ground of tho nutritive value
of its starches and saccharine materials,
as well as of tlio cleansing and stimulat
ing effects of its acids and salts. Straw
berries aro now in season, and cherries
aro coming in quick succession.
A strawberry-eating contest was in

Tho mongooses imported into Jamaica
to eat up tho myriads of rats abounding
