Indian Pioneer.
The following is an incident on the
recent return of some British officers
from Aighanistan: Scene-The widest
part of the Khyber, with barren rocks
towering on all sides; an English officer
riding along, escorted by motley com
pany of maliks and tribesmen all armed
to the teeth; more armed Afreedees in
the middle distance; weary, lonely tig'
ure toiling on the dusty road in huge
black boots, face burned a brick red and
fringed by scanty sandy beard. The
figure is clad in a thick wadded garment
and has bundle on its back.
Halt Who are you"
"A Turkistani."
"Where are your comrades"
al am alone"
"Where are you going?"
"To Mecca"
GLOW will you get there?"
"God will help"
peace be with YOU"
"And with you"
The figure moves off, and the armed
circle breaks mp. The poor devotee had
tramped hundreds of miles through
hills and valleys, swarming with cut
threats, secure in his simple faith
which had led him to leave distant
Turkestan in quest OF the still more dis
tant Mecca.

The Wool Situation.


BUYERS have withdrawn from the
country, except that portion OF them
termed 'lOcal buyers" These We have
always with you, who are setting around
as Mosquitoes are supposed to do, await
ing an opportunity to suck the blood
from fresh victim. 1t is claimed by
those who know, that more wool
changed hands this season than ever
before in the same length OF time,
throwing a large amount OF money into
the country, which is already being felt
we are told-and will be to greater
extent, as soon as farmers get through
with their "harvest."
In the East, the buyers are busy open
ing out their purchases, and are twitting
each other about getting excited dur
ing the recent storm" of buying, and
paving too much for wool. Manufac-
turers are looking on with apparent In
difference, until assortments are made
up. They expect to buy at about the
price paid in the country, at the same
time the most of them are reported as
being very short OF stock, and selling
their goods as fast as they can make
them. Some bad purchases have been
made in the country. These are being
opened out and offered to the market,
and in some cases sold at concessions, !"
but the better lots are being held back.
the holders relying upon the known fact
that many manufacturers are short OF
wool produced in this country to keep
our machinery running, and wool here
has scarcely reached an importing price.
The future of prices depends much
upon how manufacturers can sell their
goods. The greater portion of them talk
freely and seem more encouraged than
for years. The fleet OF goods made dur
ing and shortly after the war have been
about used up. Shoddy seems to have
had run, and the great inquiry is for
pure wool goods; "slx quarters wide
and all wool?" is now the inquiry.
II We had any advice to give to farm
ers who have not sold their wool, 1t
would be, do not get scared. Butat the
same time il you want to get good prices
for your wool, stop buying cheap shoddy
goods, and shutting your fleeces," and
we will say here, that we think farmers
are more to be blamed for buying 'shod-
DIV goods" than for stuffing heeces.

Fat PEOPLES Misfortunes.

Some of the savage tribes enter their
dwellings through afiole in the roof,
and when a person becomes so fat that
he cannot get in, he is regarded as an
outlaw. Had this system been adopted
in the United States, the "outlaws"
could not have made more active de-
mand for Allan's Anti-Fat than now
exists. Hundreds who had lived in
constant fear of sudden death have, by
its use, been reduced to a comfortable
living weight. The Anti-Fat is purely
vegetable and perfectly harmless. Sold
by druggists.

President Lincoln as Practical Joker.

PRESIDENT Us u IEdSblSaA OOAOt'
From the Springfield Republican.
One morning he stepped out into the
porch of the White House in his dress
ing gown and shouted TO the Irish gar
dener who was at work on the grounds.
Failing TO attract his attention, and see
inga young man passing in front OF the
porch, Mr.. Lincoln hailed him and asked
him il he could throw a stone. The
young man thought he could. "Well,"
said he "throw one at my gardener there,
| can't make him hear" The Young
man, obedient, picked up stone and
let fly, hitting the lrishman fairly in the
back, whereupon the latter jumped up,
and, turning around indignant, wanted
to know of the young man what he
meant by hitting him, and began TO APP
proach him hastily in a threatening
manner, muttering and scolding as he
came. Meanwhile, the young man mo-
toned with his hand toward the porch,
meaning to have the gar
dener understand that the
President wanted him and that the
stone had been thrown at his instance.
But the irate lrishman paid no atten-
ton 10 the gestures, seeming indispOsed
to understand their significance or to be
Modified. Surprised at the mans
threatening manner, and wondering
why the President did not speak in his
behalf, the thrower of the stone turned
to look for the President, but he was
not to be seen. In moment his tall
form arose from behind the balustrade,
where he had concealed himself when
the stone was thrown, to see the fun.
Giving the gardener his orders with a
twinkle in his eyes. he glanced at the
young man, who walked away realizing
that he had been made victim OF a
pra ctical joke.

The Bra nd is n ed Club.

Commissioner French appears to have
some ideas on the subject of police regula-
tions not unlike those that are the common
possession of the people. He believes that
the bludgeon with which the policeman is
armed should be carried in sheath sus-
pended at his waist and not in his hands,
and he says, II am determined that the
locust shall not everlastingly be in the
hands of these ignorant fellows" Though
this may appear to be small point it is Of
moment. The habit of carrying and swing
ing club is half way to the evil. But
Commissioner French's good idea has not
been made rule-and why? Because the
police do not wear belts in summer. Well,
let them then not carry clubs in summer or
wear belts at oil times when they carry
clubs

quick and jealous to turn opportunities
to account. Instead of going about the
country making speeches of congratulation
and self-gloritication he would DO more
usefully employed in faithfully warning
the country against the danger of keep
ing the greenbacks in circulation with this
great tide of gold flowing in upon
US, and insisting that 'from this nettle,
danger, we should pluck the flower, safety"
by conveying the abundant streams of gold
into the bank reserves and supplanting and
distinguishing the legal tender notes. which,
reluctantly adopted in great emergency,
have served their purpose and had their
day. There was no intention, when the
Legal Tender act was passed, that the
notes should be a permanent part of our
currency, and the time is fully ripe and all
circumstances are favorable for finally re-
firing them in faithful fulfilment of the
pledges made at the time they were author
lied.

An Argument for Asphalt.

The president of the Neufchatel Asphalt
Company in a conversation with reporter
the other day, defended the asphalt road in
front of the Hotel Brunswick by saying
that if we would only be patient in time the
horses would become used to it and learn
to slide over it and there would be no more
accidents. A horse is most intelligent
animal, and we have no doubt he could be-
come accustomed to asphalt. We might
shoe him with snow-shoes, or he might
learn to skate. These accomplishments are
possible even to the horse. But on the
whole, we prefer the good old fashion-a
safe, sensible road, where the horse can 60
his gait without stumbling. The president
reminded our reporter that Mincing lane,
London, was paved with asphalt. This is
true, but Mincing lane is notorious as the
very worst road in London for horses.
Asphalt is not without its uses in our do
mestic economy, but its very worst use in
our variable climate-and in city so over
burdened with traffic as New York-is as a
pavement. The sooner the whole Of Fifth
avenue is macadamized the better it will be
for the comfort of those who drive and the
safety Of the noble animals which are
driven.
The New York herald., 1879-10-29
Good for Senator Kellogg.

We have not been so fortunate as always
to agree with Senator Kellogg of Louisiana
indeed, sometimes we have felt obliged to
speak of his political course in q manner
tending to persuade him that the HERALD
had very poor opinion of him. But we
cordially commend his last political move
ment. Louisiana holds an important
election on the ID of December, and Sena-
tor Kellogg urges that leading Northern re-
publican speakers shall 60 down there as
soon as the New York canvass is completed
and address the people of Louisiana.
That is very sound proposition; and we
promise Mr.. Kellogg the jealous assistance
of the HERALD in persuading eminent re-
publican speakers to hasten to Louisiana.
1t has always been reproach to the North
orn republican leaders that they have re-
fused to take part in the canvass of South
ern States They have constantly aban-
doned their Southern allies to their fate;
here now is an opportunity which Senator
Conkling, Senator Blaine, Secretary Sher-
man, Secretary Schurz, General Garfield
and a dozen other able and inhuen-
tial republicans ought to use. Let
them hasten to Louisiana and show
the people there what kind Of men they
are. Senator Kellogg assures them that If
they make n canvass of the State they can
easily carry it for the republican party, and
If they can do this they will break the
solid democratic line in the South and will
secure, with proper effort, at least halt the
Southern States for their tickot next year.
We hope Southern republicans will JOIN
Senator Kellogg in insisting on the pres
ence and help OF the ablest and most con-
spicuous Northern republican speakers IN
Louisiana during November, and in North
and South Carolina. Arkansas, Florida,
