The Mor mons like to hiae this teaching from the, world outside of Utab. and they give strangers to understand-that polygamy is an entirely voluntary rite. But to citizens of Utah, both Mormon and Gentile, no fact is more patent than this one. that man and women who, by nature, revolt from polygamy, are actually toYced into it by -the pressure which' the Church brings to bear on their religious nature.

' " decaderit has been evident that the time was soon . to come when their frontiers would meet The total revenue of India last year was $360,000,000; and the not only pays her own way, but affords a rich field for British capital, commerce, and manu factures. Russia's Central Asian posses-. Sums, on the contrary, yield an annual revenue of only $3,000,000. and the annual deficit caused by them to the imperial treasury has averaged $2,850,000 for ths last fourteen years. The Russian ad vance south upon Asia began from Oren burg, on the Russian side of the Caspian sea, and has been pushed 1200 miles. The English encroachment borth began from Fort Willia'm, and has been pushed 1&Q0 miles. Together the two powers have cov ered 9000 miles si pes they started from their bases, and now they are practically faca to face. Between them lies Afghan istan, Russia and England long ago agreed that this state should remain as .a buffer between them. Bnt they have never come to a definite agreement as to what (be . precise limits of Afghanistan were. The nearest approach to such an agreement was arrived at in 1873, when the 'British India office accepted the late Princ' GortschakofTS summary of the understanding which resulted from long negotiations between the two govern ments. But this summary was unsatis factory, the controlUngitera stating" that the territory In tbe actual possession at the present moment of Shere Ali Khan should be considered to constitute the limits of Afghanistan." This, as a matter of course, left it to be settled, what terri tory was in Shere All's actual possession in 1872? That question has been debated between the two governments ever since, and. s. tbe ostensible ground of the pres ent quarrel. . Diplomatists on both . sides appear to have agreed, three years ago, and maps of both countries so exhibited it, that t hti northwest boundary line of A,f ghanistan was from Khojah Soleh to the Persian frontier in the neighborhood of Sarakha. - , '-'.-? - Russla, however, bas rudely disturbed this understanding of things by her later, action. Merv, which she assured the English government in 1883 she had no in tention of taking, she seized upon early in 1864. The agreement to regard a line drawn from Khojah' Saleh to somewhere about Sarakhs as the limits of her advance she has. now -altogether brushed aside. This line would certainly exclude her from Penjdeb, which is over 40 miles south of it, and Sarl-yazi, which is over 20 miles south of it, and all the other ad vanced points which she now claims, and most of which she occupies with her Cos-Fa'-ka, Tbe Bone of Contention tbe Key to tbe Gates of India-Plain Facts'- - ' : VToi-tb.

Between the Hart Raid and Kushk rivers a nunilcrof salt bikes lie, and the use of these Huss'a claims to be indispensable to the tribesmen under her protection. The,, whole of the debatable land lies between Sarakhs aud Herat on the one side, and between Penjdeh and Herajt on the other side of the map.' M. Lessar, the famous Russian engineer, furnished to his government in 1882 a de scription of the country from Sarakhs to Herat, which is full of .interest. This re port of M. Lesar is significant from the tact mat 11 snows ine rtussians to nave a thorough survey of the country over which they lursst niove to Herat, and that . there arc nag-eat natural obstacles in the way or their advance. , The question- may now beput why is Herat sojinpcriant 1 What makes Eng land alarmed lest Russia should obtain possession of it, and what is there about Herat anyway that entitles it to be called " the key of India"Geueral Skoboleff, writ ing in 18K2, when he Was chief of the Asiatic branch of tbe Russian general staff, said : A body of European troops established at Herat, and standing With Its front to the southeast, would draw upon it the atten tion of the whole poptildxion of. India. In that lies the significance of a military occupation of Herat: and it. is not with out reatoa that a number of English ex perts, Knowtagindia welt, have expressed their belief that were an enemy to occupy Herat with powerful force," the English army, without having fired a Shot, would consider itself half beaten." The civilian mind can perhaps, better understand why Herat is "the key of In dla,"lf it is said that the vulnerable part of India cannot be reached by Russia except through valleys, which cannot be entered and hel l so long as Herat is held by a British force, or by a force friendly to the British. . These valleys, running nearly north and south, are bounded on the er.st by inaccessible mountain heights, and on the west by impracticable deserts. Herat blocks the only entrance to them that an army could safely make. If Herat is raptured the road is clear, through these valleys, to Candahar, and thence to ail British India. . . ; - . It is believed that the English will ad vance from Pish ro. to Quetta, thence toi Herat. The railroad runs no further than PLs'iin. and is not yet built to that point. though it soon will be. From Pishinto Candahar is a little' less than 100 miles. ar.dfrom Pishin to, Herat is, 460 miles. The British army to be sent from Quettah, where Lord Dufferin has gathered a force fully large enough to held Herat, if it can get there before the Russians, will, there fore, have a march of about 500 miles to accomplish. There is a broad wagon road the whole way. . Russia, has railway communication nearly all the way from the Caspian sea to Askabad. From Aska- bad to barahks is :J85 miles, and from Sarahksto Herat Is 202 miles, making a total difctiinte to be marched- by the Rus sians ol less than 400 miles, against SOU relies to be covered; by their British com petitors in the race. But it is to be re membered that the Russians are established- already .at Penjdeb, at Ak-Robat and at ZnlSker, which "are but 120, 100 "and i0 miles respecrlrely-distant from Heratv ; How large their forces are at thoteiointa is not known, .and hew much General La m saen nas aone to bar a sua f!en adv&nce, if it is attempted.

Roberts. v The Earl of Dufferin is the Viceroy of : India and has made a brilliant reputation as a diplomat, ad administrative officer, and man of letters. , He believes in att . energetic and vigorous attitude towards Russian ag gression on the northwest frontier of In dia. As soon as the Russian outposts ap peared on the Afghan frontier he- de manded of ' Mr. Gladstone strong rein forcements of troops from England, and when the Prime minister began to hesi tate Lord Dufferin made the demand per- General Lumsden was appointed by the British government early in 1384 as the Commissioner on their part to proceed to Afghanistan and meet a Russian Com mlasioner for the purpose of delimiting the frontier by mutual consent... He is a veteran in the service and wears medals for bravery and . valuable public services. Gen. Komaroff is over fifty and hard fighter. He has seen much' aidubus serv ice in the many Asiatic wars by which the eagles of Russia have been brought to the position from which they now men ace the British empire In India. In the expedition which captured Merv he dis tinguished himself. He. bad been gov ernor of Askabad for some time prior to that event, which occurred . In 1883; and It was under his. orders.: that ihe dashing Major Alikhanoff, whose name occurs quite Often of late In the cable dispatches, pushed forward and brought the Mervia tfrrjalwraaon February -f2, that the fodr chiefs' fXr?i etailejrof ; ilarT gathered ia General "Komaroff Is drawing- room at Askabad, and ; took fhe oath of allegiance to the White Czar. Under the orders of General Komaroff.' MerV was promptly fortified after the;.-European fashion, and io-day the base of tbe new Russian advance southward. As a re ward for this service he. received the Or der of the White Eagle, and his district (Askabad) was raised to the rank of province-equal to that of Turkestan, and he himself . was made f overnor-general. This is the man who fired the first shot at Ak Tepe recently and the Czar promptly decorated him afresh for the gallant , .A- sault upon and capture of that place. In this move if he was not acting under or ders from St Petersburg it seems strange that his success should, nave received the recognition it did The Russian leader to whom all eyes are turned as the man most likely to com mand tbe Czar's armies h Gen.

With the geographical, military and personal data above laid before oni readers, the general conditions of the great struggle now opening between Rus sia and Great Britain will, we think, be tolerably clear. We have drawn upon various standard authorities for the facts comprised in this article, and believe its statements may be fully accepted as cor rect so far es they eo. To aid the reader still further in appreciating the lay of the land, as exhibited on the map. and, the relative difficulties of tbe British air Russian advance toward Herat, we ap pend a table of distances between the dif ferent points : ...v.i.1. 1. h.,-.i must lie multiplied many I tlrte8n.vpB.wotfi4 gpt coriMf fi,5 know, replied tbe doctor, as tbe state 01 tuings 111 me "k'; l."'Tl I a iiinntuM is taken of woman 1 , Object treason In Natural HIatery. - Two boys were looking at the animals in Central Park.

'-S--i -SssSfc This map, or bird's-eye view. is thj great chess-board on which - the military game, watched by the world, ia now being played. The Russians are' established at several points far- within' the boundary line claimed by England for Afghanistan. They "are not only at Sari-Yazi, Pul-l- Khatun. and Penjdeh, bnt also at Zulfli- kar and. Ak-Kobat. A glance at the map trl show that the Czar's coftimahdersare, therefore, almost in full possession of the frontier line which the Russian govern ment, through its agent in London, M. Lessnr, now claims. But the key to the understanding of the whole matter is to remember constantly that Herat is the place of supreme im portance on the map. Herat is the real objective point of both governments. - It is only as steps towards the (capture of Herat, that the Russian occupation .of Zulftkar and Ak-Robat," and its ' later seizure of Panjdeh, are important. It is only as outposts protecting Herat from surprise and seizure that the English gov ernment is so deeply concerned to compel Russia to retire therefrom. FromZulfikar and Ak-Robat to Herat the Russians have to march less than 100 miles to bring them to the gates of Herat. Study of the map shows that the Rust sian advance upon Herat will be made along two river lines. On the western Bide the czar's forces will follow the Heri Rud river. On the eastern side'they,wlll follow the Mnrghab river, and It feeder, the Knshk river. The Kushk river, it will be noted, rises in the Paropamisns mountains, Immediately north of HeraV within 40 miles, and, running parallel with the Herl-Rud river, finally joins . the Mnrghab river, just at the point where Fort Ak Tepe (recently captured by Kom aroff) commands an 4 controls the whole Penjdeh' district. Penjdeh." is about 120 miles from Herat. -Ak: Robat Is less than 80 miles from Herat - ' " Fort AK Tepe, on the map, is enclosed by black lines, - It was built last year by the Afghans, under the advice of the British.' It stands on a huge mound (hence its name, which means white hill,) on a piece emptory, and threatened to resign his nostuMess it' was complied withJ It was as ft result of this coercive step that Mr. Gladstone reluctantly advised the queen to call out the army reserve And the mil itia.

The failure of the physicians In General Grant's case ought to have an eye opening effect upon the public. It onght to see the futility of. trusting entirely in pro. fession whose practice is so largely exper imental. The test of merit is success, and when any agency has won a record proved by the testimony of promineUt men and womeu in all ranks of society, it stands to reason that such a preparation ' is worthy of universal confidence.
