James Wilkinson, of Delhi, who is considerable as a scientist, recently cornmittcd suicide by a very ingenious method. He drank half a quart <f find dynamite, and then swallowed a seidlitz powder. The explosion was terrific. The Nkw Indivx Frontier.— The expedition which is to inarch to the Zhob Valley (the climate being temperate compared with that of Indian plains) numbers neatly 4000 combatants of all arms, including the North Staffordshire Regiment and contingents from some of the best cavalry and infantry regiments of the Native Army Supplies have been arranged for along the old cart route fioin Quette to Thul Chotiali, and neighbouring chiefs have agreed to supply the column with 1500 camels. The Zhob Valley— or Long Valiey, as the name means — is nearly 100 miles in length, and averages 20 in breadth, and, being well watered and irrigated, produces wheat, millet, maize, and lodder in abundance, so that, anxiety with reference to the continued supply of the British-Indian expedition against Shah Jehun may be dismissed. The Zhob Valley is populated by the Saruns, one of the seven Kakar tribes which, though at present at feud with eoch other, agree in claiming descent from the same Jewish family as Saul. Although this genealogy is very mythical, the lvaltars have an uninistakeable Jewish cast of countenance, and unlike the clans _ by whom they are surrounded, they display an Hebraic instinct and aptitude for trade. As many as 6000 or 7000 of the«e traders are stated to come down to Herat annually, the chief commodity in which they deal being asafcetida. But the Saruns of the Zhob Valley are at odds with all their neighbours, and are a source of serious trouble to frontier officer**, owing mainly to the imperious and ambitious character of their chief, Shah Jehan ; and this sole defier of the British Government in Southern Afghanistan, and the ruler of a conntry which he boasts has never been defiled by the step of the Feringhee, is now about to experience the inconvenience of his imprudent insolence and audacity. At the same time Shah Jehan, " The King of the World," is a foe not to be despised, and Brigadier-General Tanner will require to conduct his march with the utmost wariness, at least until the mountaineers are disabused of the belief that their chief possesses the mystic power of causing the guns of his enemies to emit water instead of bullets.
