Border Life, Present and Past.

The terrible fate of Custer aud his gallant three hundred adds another tragic chapter to the great book of border events, whose beginning dates from the earliest settlements Of our country, whose end will be only when the Indians as race shall have become extinct.
 The horrors of the Modoc cam paign are yet fresh in our memories The historic Lava Beds, Indian cun- ming batlling the skill of our sol diery for 50 long q time, savage ma- lightly and treachery culniinating in the death of the brave Canby and others whose mission was honora- ble treaty and peace-all these are still remembered with q slIudder. Their parallels in device and at.oci- ty arc only found In the deeds that compose the history of the "Dark and Bloody ground" or among those which mark the bloody tracks of the treacherous Mingoes, de- scending from their Great Lake fast nesses upon the unsuspecting tribes and settlements 0. the Susquehanna anu AIltSncHt.
 So with this heart-rending story of Custer and his men, which has been sprung upon the country so suddenly, and which is being read amid tears of sorrow and calls for vengeance, from one end of the land to the other. Some may find its parallel in tine history of Leonidas and his three hundred; some may seek for like sacrifices amid the annals of the Scottish Chiefs or Polish Patriots. But it is only when we turn to the thrilling chapters of our old Border history that we read and re-rcad, in intensified form, the bloody story Of Rose Bud and Biz Horn Rivers. Custer and his three hundred, ambushed by a willy foe and melting away in death before odds rendered doubly and terribly formidable by bewildering shrieks and stealtly mode of fighting, recall with vivid effect the tragedy of Brad docks Field, whose details are so graphically and fully narrated in that wonderful book, Our Western Border One Hundred Years Ago. ''a
 Or if other parallels be sought, they abound in the same brilliant, stirring and faithful volume; for Custer and Big Horn, Canby and the Lava Beds, Modoc and Sioux, are but repetitions, now fainter, now iiercer, of Dalzell and Bloody Run, Crawford and Battle Island, farmer and the Miami Towns.
 The new story, whether Of yicto- " or defeat, massacre or escape, cunning or adventure, treaehery or dash, hardship or retreat is but an epitome of the old filled with it's quaint and primitive portraitures, halocd about ny thrilling traditions, and sanctiiied to Us by the facts that our fathers were part of it and these our dwelling-places were scenes in the midst of it.

Suicide.

From the Gazette of the list inst, we learn that Col. J. NJ. Loughborough shielded at hls residence in Little Rock, on the evening of the 3lst ut. Of the affair the Gazette says: "Short- y after l o'clock yesterday even ing our city was startled by the intelligence of the sudden death of Col. J. NJ. Loughborough, state senator from this district, and one of the leading men of city and state. The Col. it appears. had entered his house about F o'clock and shortly after the re port of a gun was heard. A ser want had occasion to go up stairs upon an errand, and in . little hall room at the head and to the right of the stairs he found the dead body of Col. Louehborough. A double barelled shot gun lay to his left and near his feet, while a short distance from his right side lay his umbrella. Appearances indicated that the deceased had suffered death at his own hands, by placing the muzzle of the gun against his breast, opposite the lower part of his heart, aud pnsh ed the trigger with .he handle of his umbrella. The charge passed through his heart but did not 20 through his body.
