The length of the Indian frontier
which is threatened by the attacks of
the tribesmen, from the Chitral district
to Baluchistan, is about five hundred
miles. The Swat, Momand, Ozarkzal,
Afridi and other tribes which are fight
ing against the English are hardy
mountaineers, living on the slopes of
the Hindu Kush range. Most OF them
occupy debatable ground between At
CHAN and British territory, and they
acknowledge no allegiance to either au-
thority. Some of them have been sub
sidized by the Indian government, and
the Afridis, the most warlike of them,
have furnished recruits for the Indian
army.

The labor leader who says that low
wages comes from the competition or
women, and that this is why male
workmen cannot afford to marry, is
more or less right; but unfortunately
women have to live somehow, and they
must have money to do It. The dill
Guilty with labor leaders is that they
look at things as they ought to be ana
not as they are; but capital as well as
labor is subjected to conditions most OF
which are inevitable. For. OF course,
the women can't be assassinated; and,
after all, affection rules to some extent,
and there are proportionately more
marriages among the very poor than
the very rich.

The turn of life is a turning either
into a prolonged walk or into the
grave. Between the ages of forty ana
sixty a man who has lived a proper
life ought to be considered in MS
prime. His matured strength of coEstl-
tuition renders him almost imperVlous
to the attacks of disease, and eXpe-
rience has given him soundness ana
ripeness of judgment. His mind is res
olute, firm, and equal; all his func-
tions are in the most perfect order.
He assumes a mastery over his bust
ness. builds up a competence on the
foundation he has formed in early
manhood, and passes through period
of life attended by many qualifications.
Having gone a year or two past sixty,
he arrives at a standstill. But here
comes what we have termed the turn
of life. which, if successfully negotla-
ted. leads to old age. At this period
govt and apoplexy lie in wait for the
traveller. The system and powers nav
ing reached their utmost expansion,
now begin either to close in like HOW
ers at sunset, or to break down at
once. One injudicious stimulant,
single excitement, may force it beyond
its strength, whilst careful supply OIL
props and the necessary care and at
tention should sustain the system IN
health and vigor.

A NEW GOLD FIELD.
Rich Prospects on KOtzebue Sound
in Alaska.

San Francisco, Oct. 80. - Capt. B.
Cogan, of the steam whaler Thrasher,
asserts that there are richer gold fields
on the Kotzebue sound than anything
that has yet been discovered on the
Yukon. When the whaler was at
Point Hope on her way into the Arctic
last spring the Indians came in with
quantity of gold in small sealslzin
sacks. They said there was plenty of
the same stuff in the auckland, Neatak
and Kewak rivers, and what they had
had been scooped up with their pad
dies. Capt. Cogan, Capt. Whitman,
late Of the steamer Fearless, and one
or two other whalers are bound for
the sound next spring. The whaling
bark Northern Light, now in Oakland
creek, will probably be fitted out and
will carry the party to Point Hope.

Explosion Causing the Instant Death
of Thirteen Men.

Torres, Mex, Oct. 3O-A disastrous
explosion occurred in the Amerillas
shaft of the Grand Central mine at
Mnas Priestas. Thirteen men were
killed outright, and three sustained
probably fatal injuries. In some un-

distant from it's center, three were

Grand Central mine was recently pur-
chased for $1,OOO,OOO by an English
syndicate.

Death of Mr.. T. A. Gloss.

Mr.. Thomas A. Gloss. a former citi-
zen of this place, died in Manchester,
Va, where he was living at the time,
about ll:20 o'clock on Monday night
of last week, Oct. 18th. He had been
sick for some time with consumption
and it was known to his friends that he
was fast nearing his end. The body
was brought here and buried Wednes-
day, Goth.
Mr.. Gloss was a telegraph operator
in the employment of the Postal Cable
Co. After severing his connection
with the mercantile firm Of Parker &
Gloss he went to Raleigh to take
charge of the Postal Telegraph office.
Later he was transferred to Atlanta,
being promoted to the position of man
ager Of the office there. His health
failing and the work proving too heavy
the Company asked Mr.. Gloss to take
the Augusta, Ga, office. About six
months ago at his request he was as
signed to duty at Richmond, Va, hop
ing the change in climate and hours of
work would prove beneficial to him.
But the malady was too far ad-
vanced for climatic influences or medi-
cal aid to do him any good.
Mr.. Gloss was we'll known and very
popular in Henderson where he lived
for several years. He was a son of
the late Rev. VIM. Gloss, u. D., of
the Methodist Episcopal church, and a
brother of Mrs. w. S. Parker. He
was about 80 wears old.

is clean, decent, and up to date. They
have splendid band and one of the
finest orchestras in the South. The

high character and worthy nature of
the personnel and performances Of The

ering from an attack of typhoid fever,
but with the exception of not being
quite as handy in handling himself yet
awhile he is the same genial gentle
man whose pleasing and affab.e mau-

goes.
DR.. Blue Mountain Joe has been

Talking Over War Times.

We take the following from recent
issue of the Gastonia Gazette. AS it
concerns a townsman Of ours we copy
it with pleasure:
care you related to Col. Burgwyn
of the 25th North Carolina Regiment"
casually asked Capt. j. d. Moore,
cashier, of Col. W. H. S. Burgwyn as he
was examining the affairs of the First
National Bank last Monday. .Yes,
he was my brother and was killed at
Gettysburg; did you know him?' was
the bank examiners reply and enquiry.
"Yes,' answered the cashier, ''he
was shot and fell right at my side"
The examiner dropped his pen and
stopped work. He seemed to have
found man he had long been wanting
and asked eagerly, 'Was he carrying
the colors?'' "Yes, answered Capt.
Moore, land as soon as he was fatally
shot he began to turn round and round
slowly as an animal is sometimes seen
to do when he is ready to lie down.
and then fell with the colors thus
wrapped about him." Col. Burgwyr,
as devoted to the cause in peace as he
was brave in its defense in war, is COL
lectng data for history while he can.
Some had said his brother was carry
ing the colors when slain, others
thought not. Capt. Moore's circum-
sSantial memory set the matter arrest.
The examiner turned again to his
work saying, 1--WE must finish this in
spection, but you must dine with me
today The two soldiers dined to-
gether, and two hours of the afternoon
were spent in talking over war times
and making out data thereof.

LINCOLN'S IDEA on THE QUESTION
OF EMANCIPATION.

Mr.. NJ. B. Prince has handed us the
following anecdote attributed TO Pres
ident Lincoln. Discussing the negro
problem after the proclamation eman-
cipating the slaves had been promul-
gated, Mr.. Lincoln said:
"Well, you see we've got TO be
mighty cautious how we manage the
negro question. If we are not We
may be like the barber out in Illinois,
who was shaving fellow with hatch
ct face and lantern jaws like mine.
The barber stuck his finger in his Gus
TONER'S mouth TO make his cheek stick
out, but while shaving away he cut
through the fellows cheek aud Gu, off
his own finger. II we don't play
mighty smart about the Niger we may
do as the barber did,"
