A Cowboy District Attorney.

Every body in the Panhandle knows
Lorenzo Dow Miller. Better than
that, everybody likes him aud admires
him. Dow lives at Panhandle City,
and is District Attorney, and rules
over twenty-nine counties. He is a
genius.
Born in Texas, he went to the Pan
handle wears ago, when the Indians
were still in the country. His capital
consisted OF an unusual amount OF
common sense and six-shooter. He
went out on the plains as a cowboy
and has punched long horns all the
way from Lost valley 10 the neutral
strip. Around his camp fire at night
he pored over an old volume OF Black
stone. Before very long he bought
some more books. Honest. sober aud
industrious, he made friends as fast
as the prairie grass grows In the
spring or yearling runs in a STAN
pede. He astonished the world one
day by Announcing his candidacy Tor
District Attorney. He astonished the
world on the day after the election by
having beaten w. II. Woodman, his
opponent.
From that time Dow has gone on
until be is invincible in his district.
One Of his arguments, made before a
Greer County jury before the vernac
ulsr OF the ranch had given way 10
the polish OF the efTste East. was a.
follows:
"Gentlemen OF the jury, look at
that prisoner. His phiz is dead tough.

A Queer People.

Strange stories are told OF the
Dokos, who live among the moist
warm bamboo woods to the south OF
KafTa and Susa, in Africa.
Only four feet high, OF . dark olive
color. savage and naked, they have
neither houses nor temples, neither
Are nor human food. They live only
on ants, mice and serpents, diyersihsd
by few roots and fruits. They let
their nails grow long, like tsloBs, the
better TO dig for ants, and the more
easily TO tear ia pieces their fsyorite
snakes.
The Dokos used TO be Invaluable us
slaves, aud they were taken Ia large
numbers The slave hunters used to
hold up bright -colored clothes a.
they came to the moist, warm bamboo
woods. where these human monkeys
still live, and the poor Dokos could
not resist the attractions offered by
such superior people. They crowded
around them and were taken la
thousands. In slavery they were
docile, attached. obedient, with few
wants and excellent health.
These queer people have only one
faut-n love for anti, mice ard ser
pents. and hibit OF speaking to yer
with their heads on the ground and
their heels In the air. Yer Il their
idea OF a superior power, to whom
they talk In this comical nature when
they are dispirited or angry, or tired
OF ants and snakes. and longing for
unknown food.
The DOkOs seem TO come nearest OF
all people yet discovered to that
terrible cousin 10 humanity, the ape.

Opium Smoking.

Exact knowledge OF the effects OF
opium smoking is yet wanting, and it
is still an open question whether the
habit OF smoking opium is really as
baleful as some persons allege-that
il is. for instance, more baleful than
the habit OF smoking tobacco. NJ. l..
Baret, a French naval surgeon, has
made some interesting observations,
which were reported in his "Nofes de
Geographic ct 4 EtsRsgraphis 4sdieales,''
published in the Archives de Mede-
cine Navale ct Coloniale October
and December numbers OF ls'?).

deplore the use OF opium in their
country, il is not on account OF the
rather illusory and very much eHag-
gerated evil effects on the population,
but ON account OF the important out
flow OF the precious metals which it
causes. Therefore they encourage

and southwest provinces Of the Em-

NJ. Baret states that during the
four winter months At Tientsin, and
now and again during the three
wears in the country districts OF Chi
ma. he had collected a large number
Of observations on opium smokers,
which have led him to the following
conclusions l. Opium smoke l. not,

Napier and the Swordsman.

After NApier's battle with the Hin
docs opposed TO the English, a famous
juEgler visited the camp and per
formed his feats before the general,
his family and staff. Among other
performances this man cut in two
with q stroke OF his sword lime or
lemon placed in the hand OF al assist
ant. Napier thought there was some
collusion between the iuggIer and his
retainer. To determine the point
the general offered his own hand for
the experiment, and he stretched out
his right arm. The juggler looked
very attentively at the hand, and
said that he would not make the ex-
pertinent.
