PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY BY W. P. BRADIURN, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. A Queer 1eople. Chamber's Journal, discussing a re cent book of missionary travels in Af rica, thus alludes to one of the tribes which are found in that terra iagnita : But the strangest of all are the storics told of the Dokos, who live among the moist, warm bamboo woods to the south of Kaflta and Susa. Only four feet high, of a dark olive color, savage and naked, they have neither household temples, neither fire nor human food. They live only on ants, mice, and serpents, diver sified by a few roots and fruits; they let their nails grow long like talons, the better to dig for ants, and the more easily to tear in pieces their favorite snakes. They do not marry, but live india crimuinative lives of animals, multiply ing very rapidly, and with very little maternal instinct. The mother only nurses her child but a short time, ac customing it to eat ants and serpents as soon as possible ; and when it can help itself it wanders away where it will, and the mother thinks no more of it. The lukos are invaluable as slaves, and are taken in large numbers. The slase hunters hold up bright colored clothe as soon as they come to the moist, warm bamnt woods, where these human monkeys 11P ; and the poor Do kos cannot resist the attraction offered by such superior people. They crowd around them and are taken by thous ands. In slavery they are docile, attached, obedient, with few wants and excellent health. They have only one fault--a love of ants, mice and snakes, and a habit of speaking to Yer with their heads on the ground and their heels in the air. Yer is their idea of a superior power, to whom they talk in this comi cal nature when they are dispirited or angry, or tired of ants and snakes, and .longing for unknown food. The Dokos seem to conme nearest of all people yet discovered to that terrible cousin of humanity-the ape. Wbto ulty of demse hins. The prussiate of potash is made in large quantities in Cincinnati from the hoofs, horns and other refuse of slaugh tered cattle. Cow-hair, taken from the hides in tanneries, is employed in making plas tering-mortar, to give it a fibrous qual Sity. O Sawdust is sold for sprinkling the e floors of markets. It is also used for packing ice for shipping. it The rags of old. worn out skirting, i- calico dresses, and the waste of cotton factories, are employed to make the pa per upon which these lines are printed. Old ropes are converted into fine note it paper, and the waste paper itself, which a is picked up in the gutter, is again re * converted into broad, white sheets, and thus does duty in revolving stages. The parings of skins and hides, and the ears of cows, calves, and sheep, are carefully collected and converted into glue. The finer qualities of gelatine are made from ivory raspings and the bones a- and tendons of animals. e Bones converted into charcoal, by roasting in retorts, are afterwards em be ployed for purifying the white sugar p- with which we sweeten our coffee. The ammonia obtained from the dis u tillation of coal in making gas, is en ployed for saturating orchil and end ir. bear, in making the beautiful lilac col ors that are dyed on silk and the fine woolen goods. i Carbonic acid, obtained in the distil m lation of coal tar, is employed with Sother acids to produce beautiful yellow Scolons on silic and wool. SThe shavings of cedar wood, used in making pencils, are distilled to obtain or the otto of cedar wood. Brass filings and old brass kettles are remeltel, and employed to make the S. brass-work of printing presses and pumps. Old copper scraps are used in the construction of splendid brodne chao deliers, for illuminating our churches and the mansions of the wealthy.
