From the New York Herald
 To live to the age of 128 years Is an achievement. To thus survive and at the same time retain all ones faculties with the exception of sight is marvellous.

London newspapers, reflecting the worldwide interest taken in cases which dwarf into insigfficance the accepted "three score years and ten' the ory, are making inquiries concerning the oldest living inhabitants of the earth. In such an investigation the United States must lay claim to attention. MT. Raby IS said to be the oldest man in America, If not In the world. He has been for thirty years an inmate of the New Jersey insti- tuition, is contented with his lot, smokes and drinks whenever he feels so inclined, dwells with interest upon the one affair of the heart to which he confessed and looks forward to several more years in the land of the living.
 Noah Raby was born in Eatonton, Gates County, In 1773. His mother was a native of North Carolina, but his father, Andrew Bass, was an Indian. Though the blood of the aborigine Is in his veins, Raby's skin is perfectly white. When the Herald cor respondent was shown into the sitting room and introduced MT. Raby extended his hand

Carefully Avoided.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-George II. Moul-
ton, of Colorado, United States consul TO
Demarara, in British Guiana, has arrived
in New York, being on leave OF absence.
In discussing affairs in British Guiana, Mr..
Moulton said: 1.-THE rush TO the gold fields
of British Guiana and Venezuela, which
was expected TO follow the settlement OF
the Venezuelan boundary dispute. failed to
naterialize. The new BOUNDARY fixed by
the arbitration court is quietly accepted
by the people of British Guiana and Vene-
zuela, and no further dispute is likely to
arise. Gold mining is still being prosecuted
IN the British Guiana gold fields, and a
few Americans are there, trying TO make
their fortunes.
THE yield of these gold fields is about
100000 a year. All the gold obtained is
secured by placer mining. No shafts have
yet been sunk for lode mining. Mining in
British Guiana is attended by the greatest
difficulties and hardships. and there is also
some danger to life and limb. The gold
fields are all at some distance IN the in
terror. To reach them, the miners have TO
travel through swamp lands and dense
brush, which are infested by aligators,
enormous reptiles and wild beasts. Every
thing the miners carry along has to be
packed by men. British Guiana is no place
for American miners. They can do better
