THE lASSO.
Evidence That It's Origin Is One of Great
Antiquity.


Antiquity.
The lasso is of great antiquity. 1t Is
said to be depicted in the ruins of Nineveh.
An early Persian manuscript, preserved in
the Escorial shows sportsman (whom /
suppose royal by his Olympian expression
and careless seat in the act of catching
wild ass with nicely plated lasso. The
monarch bestrides rather "stocky'' look.
ing, dark colored horse, with four white
feet and white face. A bow, quivers and
saber are hung from his saddle, and a
sort of housing half covers the horse. How
the wild ass is to be restrained, even by
the hand of monarch, is not at first sight
evident, for the lasso is neither fixed to
the saddle after the fashion Of the gauchos,
nor is half turn taken round the pom
| mel, in the style adopted by vaqueros in
Mexico and Texas. Apart from this de-
tail, all is as realistically set forth as 1t
would be today in a photograph. Tho
horse bears away from the beast lassoed,
and the king sits little to one side, ex-
actly as Texan cowboy or an Argentina
gaucho sits under similar circumstances.
Irises and narcissi spring up under the
horses feet, and an applauding group of
| angels peep out of a cloud. while in the
Iniuule ulStdnce announcer PERSIAN SaucnO
| shoots an antelope with an arrow while
| galloping at full speed.
The Laplanders are said to lasso their
reindeer, and the Tartars and modern
Australians use documentary lasso fixed
to long pole in order to catch wild or re-
fractory horses. The Poles, Croatians and
Wallachians, with the Hungarians, seem
to have used the lasso till about tho begin
ming Of the present century. A picture by
the German artist Richter shows Polish
remounts for the German cavalry being
lassoed in the Zwinger at Dresden. The
| horses look as wild as Texan "broncho"
or an Argentina 'gagual," and the atti-
| tude of men and animals and the way the
ropes are coiled and thrown are identical
with those adopted in Spanish America
today. The lasso appears to run through
q ring in the pommel of the saddle 1t is,
however, in Spanish America where the
art has been most developed. This is on
account Of the open country and the vast
| numbers of wild and scmiwild horses
which up to the middle of the present cen
fury overspread its plains. -Badminton

QUICK WORK.

Secretary of State Jackson has broken the record in publishing and putting on sale the recent acts of the legislature. The Montgomery Advertiser of yesterday says:
 One month ago the general assembly of Ala bama adjourned.
 Today the acts of that general assem- bly are on sale. This breaks the record. Yesterday Secretary of State Jackson had the new laws out in printed form. and began sending copies to the justices of the peace.
 Ordinarily the compiling and printing of the acts have required several mondhs. and Secretary Jackson Is due congratula- . tions. It may be sa&d too, that the work is facilita ted of recent years by the fact that the law governing the printing of the acts has been simpiified and changed; i; nevertheless, the secretary and his assist ants displayed ccmmenda-ble energy in giving the people the new laws.
 Secretary Jackson has been the subject of many compliments for the business manner in which he conducts the duties of his office

A GRACIEFrI1 ACT.

A Washington special to the Mon5- gon1ery Advertiser contains the following reference to a graceful act of Congress man Underwood. of this district. in yield ing his seat to J ". Bailey, the demo- cratic leader on the floor of congress:
 An interesting incident of the drawing of seats by members of the house of rep resentatives of the new congress was furnished by the graceful act of an Ala bama member. Oscar Underwood, of the Birmingham district, was among those fortunate enough in the lottery to get an early choice. and selected the seat form erly occupied by J. w. Bailey. the chosen leader of the democratic minority. MT. Bland took a seat at Mir. Uuderwood's side, and it was easily seen to be a con- spicuous point of vantage for a member. MT. Bailey was among the last whose names were called, and would have been compelled to take a bacl1 seat but for the thoughtful courtesy of the Alabama member. MT Underwood took one of the back seats and gave his Co MT Bailey, so that the young Texan leader wiM have by his side the father of latter day free silver agitation, Richard Parks Bla nd.

 MT. Ellis mouth opened at least two inches his eyes watered, he put his hands across his head in a bridge fashion and looked at the young man for fully five minutes without uttering a. syllable, so great was his amazemenfc, and the young man walked off, wondering at Mr. Ellis" silence
 MT. Ellis district contains but two postmasterships of great prominence in the state and they are Portland and As toria, and she scramble of his consttu- ents after the place is something ter rife when there is vacancy at either; this fact, coupled with the Ohloan's re- quest, was more than he could stand, and he was too dumbfounded to talk.
