The Republicans have undoubtedly

United States Senators and three Presi-
Dental electors.
For the first time trying, our younger
sister has done beautifully. Three mem
bers of the Electoral College fer Hayes

Representative is still! better. Two Re

The first care OF the Sart physician is
to study your general appearance and
ask you about your temperament. He
has learned in the "Tukhpatul Mum.
iniu," the most common medical book
here, that you must belong to one Of
four classes, and his treatment Of your
nalady is governed accordingly. When
he has combined your symptoms with
your temperament, he will pull a bag
out Of his pocket, or mite the scarf
which serves him Cor girdle, and open
an assortment OF drugs in twisted bits Of
paper, perhaps tasting and smelling to
find the right ones, and having chosen
the proper medicine, will give you the
usual directions about doses and diet.
The medicaments employed by central
Asiatic physicians are, in general, very
simple, being in most part vegetable
substances; but few animal matters and
minerals being used. They aro usually
taken simply in the form OF POWDER
and decoctions, and when a mixed medi
cine ia used. the physician delivers the
substances TO the patient and allows him
to mix them for himself. This not only
saves the physician trouble, but, in .
certain way, soothes the suspicious feel
ings Of the patient, who NIGH imagine,
in case he did not Immediately improve,
that he had been poisoned by the doc

Withdrawing Leisurely.

The Elko New Independent tells
the following: While travelling through
Arizona in 1S49 with an exploringparty,
we made our camp Que. evening near
canyon, the bottom OF which was cover.
ell with fine sand that had drifted irom
the neighboring plains. While employ
ed in arrauging our camp, the botanist
Of the expedition, DR.. b., wandered
some distance in pursuit OF plants. Ho
returned shortly and reported that there
were Indians near ut hand. He was as
cool as n cucumber, and didn't show auy
sign Of anxiety or alarm. In answer to
our hasty inquiries, he replied that
while he was engaged in examining a
fossil specimen he heard q grunt behind
him, and on looking around discovered
III Indian who had seized his gun,
which had been placed against rock.
The Indian drew bead on him. aud III
retaliation he drew his revolver and
sighted the Indian, retreating at the
same time toward the canyon, which was
close at hand. Neither fired. On reach
ing the cany on he walked leisurely into
camp. A party Immediately set out to
deter imine the possibility Of danger, and
discovered two Indians aud squaw.
After capturing them they examined the
vicinity in which the doctor had met
with his remarkable adventure. They
found his footprints, which signitled u
cautious retreat to the canyon. But
alas | for the frailty of human nature
his footprints in the canyon were eight
feet apart, by measurement, and not
exactly Indicative OF the leisurely man
ner in which he had approached the
camp. The doctor acknowledged the
corn, md remarked that that was about
as leisurely as ho ever wished to walk
under similar circumstances.
