FK.'IBT IX OXlfiSTAN AN INCIDENT OF THE LATE AP ACHE WAR. BV APACHU QKOUUK. James Grtrnt was au early settler in tlio Coouey District, Socoito coun ty, New Mexico, ami located u line much auioug the foothills of the Mo gollon llange. T Y 'I i 1 1 lie uuut ins raucu-uouse ou a broad plateau overlooking Tulo Bosa Creek, near the point where its wa ters unite with Los Leutas Creek, aud form the San Francisco River. (rant had failed in business us a wool merchant in Sau Antonio, and assisted by a few friends, who pitied his misfortune; he had emigrated to New Mexico aud settled on Tule Rosa Creek, where ho engaged in sheep raisin?. He had been very successful, and in live years had been able, from the profits of the business, to pay oS all his old debts, dollar for dollar, at id ay aside a comfortable sum for the benefit of his fanuly4 which was quite arge, consisting of live gids and three boys, - His devoted wife had willingly ac companied him iuto exile, aud by her advice and encorageineut, had helped him to tiirht the battle that ultiiuate- y recuperated his fortunes. When the incident I am about to relate took place, Mrs. Grant was on a visit to friends in Antonio, the two oldest boys were at school at Santa Fe, and two of the girls were in u convent at San Antonio. There re mained at the ranch Mr. Grant, three small children, aud the oldest daugh ter, Kitty, now in her nineteenth year. Kitty was a very pretty girl, and withal very sensible. : She coaid ride a pony like a va- qutro, and her father often said that if he should be taken wuddenly from them Kitty could run tho ranch as well as a man. Aside from these sterner accom plishments; she was as gentle aud re- lined as the proudest lady in the land, could talk intelligently on rany subject, play the p;ano superbly, and sing,divinely. - Jake McGralh, the superintendent of her father's rancli," was, to use a frontier colloquialism, "stuck on Kit ty," and being a bold man, had bold ly declared his "love. Kitty had quietly referred him to her father. 'I like you very well, Jake," said James Grant, 'and so far as I am concerned, jou have my permission to co in and win the eirl. I don't know how she feels toward you, but it would suit me exactly to see you two married. I don't waut her to throw herself away on one of ijthese namby-pamy tenderfeet from the States." And here Grant's face clouded. "I've noticed lately that young Saltonstall, who owns the new mine over on the range, lias been eoniing here of tener than ne cessary, and I advise you to look sharp." Thus encouraged, Grant's superin tendent turned away, aud mounting his horse, rode to a distant part of the ranch. He was not yet out of sight when Arthur Saltonstall, the "tenderfoot from the States," rode up to the ranch, mounted on his superb, blood ed horse, Brown Bill. "I am so glad you have come, Ar thur !" was Kitty's greeting, as he vaulted to a position on the porch beside her and raised her brown hand to his lips. "Mr. Mc- Grath asked me to be his wife, this morning, and I referred him to fath er. I don't like him, and I never could be his wife." She blushed and hung her head, and young Saltonstall bent down and kissed her. "I don't fear his rivalry much," he said, uroudlv : "but as he has been A ' bold enough to speak to your fath er, I will delay no longer, but this morning will tell him of our love, and ask his consent to our marriage. "Oh, Arthur," said the girl, and her face face paled ; "I know he does not like you, though why I cannot tell. Only yesterday he spoke of vou contemptuously as a "tender foot in store-clothes.' He thinks that you are lacking in those cour t.rn o-fmis inalitiAK whih lift Rfi much I admires ; but if he only knew how ' her SeQtle pictured what might brave and noble you are, I know-" , be their fate witb the blo? thlsty "That he would gladly consent to foe ste&d advancing upon them, our marriage!" cried Arthur, laugh- I Then by a mighty effort she con ingly. "To tell you the truth, Kit- trolled herself, and hastened to obey tv?f never admired loner hair in a Arthur's directions. man, and if I don't wear buckskin and ducking, it's because I have plenty of other clothes in my ward-, robe that I can't afford to throw- away. "Remember, Arthur," said Kitty, coming closer, "that no matter how my father decides, or come what may, I shall never cease to love you!" . "I have implicit faith and trust in you," responded the young man. And then raising her hand to his lips, he walked away to hunt up the ranch owner. Mr. Grant received the young sui tor somewhat coldly, aud listened in gloomy silence to the story of his love. "Hike a man of grit," he Haid, when the recital was finished ; "and when you can prove to me that you ore a man, iu all that the name im plies, you are welcome to Kitty. Til tell you beforehand, though, that my superintendent, Jake McGrath, is in the field before you. Jake usually carries everything by storm, and if you don't look sharp, he'll carry off his wife right before you eyes." "Trust me for that," said Arthur, a little defiantly. Aud here turned to Kitty. Before he reached the house the writer of the history rode past him. I knew the young man, aud we ex changed pleasant greetings. "What's the latest news about the Iudians, George?" he asked. "Bad!" I responded. "A bunch of about twenty-five bucks passed through Black Horse Canyon last night. They were heading toward the other side of the range, aud trav- eliug very fast." i'The wretches !" cried Saltonstall. "Why don't the troops get after them ?" "A sqaud of our men are iu hot pur suit," I answered, "and the captain thinks we can overtake them before they reach Horse Spring. He wants to secure the co-operation of the cit izens as much as possible, aud I've come down to ask Grant to join us. We are in camp fifteen miles above here, on the creek, for our horses are sadly iu need of rest and grass. We'll take up the , trail early to-inorrow morning." 'Til meet you," said Saltonstall, "and bring three good men with me. I bent them to Clairmount yesterday for the mail, and told them to ca 3 for me here this afternoon." 'All right!" I said. "We'll look for you.". And the ranch -owner coming up at this juncture, I briefly detailed the purpose of my visit, and he promised to accompany me back to camp with such of his men as he could spare from the ranch. He told his daughter of his intention, and made hurried preparations for departure. As we rode away, he looked back toward the ranch-house, on the porch of which Arthur and Jiitty were seated in close and confidential com munion. If that whipper-snapper was a man," he growled, "he'd be in the saddle, assisting to drive out these murderous red demons, instead of talking sentimental nonsense to a girl, like the coward that he is !" "He has promised to join us to morrow morning with three of his men," I retorted, somewhat nettled, for ' I thoroughly understood - the young man's better qualities, and know him to be as brave as lion. "Oh, of course he'll come!" re joined Grant, sarcastically. And the subject was dropped. The hours passed swiftly by, and Arthur and Kitty, talking only as lovers can, took no heed of the flight of time. Suddenly a Mexican boy, mounted nn a tiantincr ponv. whose steaming x ' body was white with foam, dashed up to the ranch. "Los Indies !" he cried, throwing himself from the saddle. "Where?" cried Saltonstall, start ing to his feet, while Kitty trembled with terrox. "In the foothills yonder," answer ed the boy, pointing in the direction whence he had come. "They are not five miles back, and are riding this way !" "Quick !" cried Saltonstall, turning to Kitty. "We have no time to lose. Get the children, and I will notify the women about the ranch and have ponies saddled. If we move expedi- tiously we can reaca fcne Banger , ! camp before they overtake us. For an instant Kitty hesitated, as In fifteen minutes the little party was in the saddle, and with Arthur guarding the rear, galloped briskly up the creek toward the camp of the ' Rangers. ' , A half- mile from the ranch-house met Jake McGrath, and hastily com municated the dread intelligence the Mexican boy had brought in. As the words fell from Arthur's lips. McGrath's knees beat a loud . tattoo against his saddle shirts. Before his trembling lips could utter a word, there was borne to the ears of the little party a faint and eerie yell, that sent a cold chill to theirs hearts. " "There they come!" gasped Mc Grath. And wheeling his horse, i he dug the spurs into the animal's side and dashed away, before Arthur could prevent him. . "The coward!" hissed the young man, as the ranch superintendent's form disappeared among the rock. And urging the fugatives to spur up their ponies, the journey was con tinued. From time to time they heard the yells of the savages, and Arthur noted with alarm that they grow louder and nearer. "Hurry! hurry!" he cried, and they dashed on at a gallop. More than half the distrane had been passed, and the trail wound through a hwow pass, flanked n either side by towering cliffs. Beyond this pass was an open stretch of country, which they would be obliged to cross. As fiey reached the divide, anoth er yell, so near and distinct that the women screamed with affright and children began to cry, was borne lo their tears, and Arthur's face paled. He bent suddenly in the Vaddle, and touched his lips to Kitty's check. "Darling," he said, "the wretches have been gaining steadily upon us, and will surely overtake . us in the open country. You know the trail. Ride on with all speed. Iu this pass one man can hold au army at bay. I will remain. Before the miscreants can retrace their steps and go around the mountain, the Rangers will be here. Ride for your life, and God bless you !" She thought of the danger to which he was so bravely subjecting himself, and words of objecting rose to her lips. "Ride!" he' commanded. 'It is our only iiope ofVaietyT" He dismounted, and turned away his head to hide the tears that would come; and Kitty, with a numb, name less terror at her heart, urged f ors ward her pony, and the party of women and children disappeared down the divide. "Heaven grant they may not be too late!" was Arthur's low-mutter- ed ejaculations, as the sound of hoof- beats died away in thedistance. And cocking his six-shooter, he turned his eyes upon the propor tions of Brow n Bill, who stood rest lessly pawing the ground. "Poor old fellow !" cried Arthur, through hisjtears. And throwing hisarms around the horse's neck, he hugged him close. Then quickly stepping to one side, he raised nis six snooter and sent a bullet crashing through the animal's brains. With a low moan the horse pitched formard on his knees, his limbs quivered, aud he fell upon hia side dead ! Lying extended at full length be hind this barricade, Arthur awaited the approach of the Apapches. On they came, yelling fiercely ; but when the advance reached the turn in the pas and saw the dead hcrse, they halted; and Arthur, taking quick aim, fired, and the foremast Indian threw up his hands and pitch ed from the saddle, dead! Now they opened fire upon him, and the bullets fell upon him like hail. Twice was he wounded, but he still kept up a rapid fire, and the In dians finally fell back. He knew this was only a ruse, and that if he exposed himself, a bullet would surely lay him low. . His wounds pained him, and the fierce heat was intolerable. He longed for a drink of cool wa ter, and counted the minutes as they slowly dragged by. ' And how passed two and still no sign from the foe. Would the Rangers never come? He raised his head to look about him, and a bullet whisted by so close that it made him shudder. He dropped behind his dead horse, and the Indians, thinking him dead, set up an exultant shout, and rush ed forward in a body. The bullets from bis Winchester did not check their advance, and he knew that in another minute their cruel knives would be drinking his heart's blood. He determined to sell his life as his'feet - As he did so, a loud cheer awoke the echoes of the canyon, and the dismayed and discomfited red men felbsk before the steady fire, of our men, who had arrived just in timet"! uave brave ArthurSaltonstall's life. ; . The conflict was short and sharp. Thoj Indians foil back, leaving sev eral of their dead und wounded, Those that escaped scattered in th'e .foothills, and se gave up the pursuiii.. Arthur Slatonstall was badly wouuced, and we carried him back to our camp on an improvised stretcf-er. Wh?a we came up he fainted, and James Grant, who had accompanied our pafty, sprang to his side. Thepplication of a little cold wa ter, and a drink of whiskey, revived him, and when he opened his eyes, the rarch owner grasped his hand. "Sakonstall," he cried, "forgive me for misjudging you ! You are a brave , man. Jake McGrath is a boaster and a coward. - Yjpu love Kitty, and Kitty loves you. Take her, iry boy, and God bless you!" HCW AND AVHAT SHOULD V GIRLS PLAY? Philadelphia Press. " A young woman from one of our finest colleges for women ha3 recent ly returned to her home for the sum mer vacation.? Lotta, as we will call her, lifw grown stoukand ruSdy, yet standi.-? at the head of her class in scholarship, and is a bright, lovable ; and. eetty girl. But her figure! It delighted the sensible, but shocked the fashionable "Aren't you going to prj corsets on that girl, Mrs. Hand ?" inquired a neighbor, anxi ously of ihe lady's mother. "Oh,. UD." returned Mrs. Hand, quickly. She can't go through the exerCi4es 'properly in corsets." "Then I would take -her out of college and put her somewhere Vhere she could have her figure properly curbed." V- .

(The contempt with which this remark was uttered I) "Yes, and she is as strong as a horse," was the response. "It would tone her down to dress her properly, and couldn't hurt her with such a constitution." But Lotta is still untrammeled by corsets. She can run a mne without getting seriously out of breath ; can climb any tree in search of birds nests or botanical specimens, of which she collects a great many ; plays tennis superbly in short, is a glorious example of what American girls of seventeen ought to be. "I have never curtailed her in the matter of playing," said Mrs. Hand, in describing the way in which she has brought up her daughter. "She never was what would be called a tomboy, but always very fond of ball-playing and of rowing. She has developed mostly out of doors, aud you can see the result. Her waist development is large, it is tiue. I dislike to have her look so unlike other girls as she does, but I am content to leave her as the Lord made her. She is a noble, high spirited, perfectly healthy girl. I consider that her outdoor exercise, in which 1 have allowed the fullest freedom of motion, has been Jthe source of her superior health and strength. . We make no remarks upon this in cident. It is worth, while to cousid- er, however, with reference to it. Some boys aud girls are nourished by the same food, warmed by the same fire and taught from the uanie books, reason would indicate like plays as suitable for both. There be quiet boys and noisy girls : there be quiet girls and noisy boys. Do not reason that because a girl is a girl she can not and should not play the invigorating, and healthful plays which are usually relegated to boys. If her nature demands vigorous ex ercise, let her have it. This placing of stones on the heads of our girls, as it were, to prevent them growing to the full divine stature, is an insult to them and the civilization under which we live.

"There must be somewhere in the neighborhood of five hundred girls compositors in the town nov,' he added, . "and most of them make a good living at it.

Gordon related an incident J of his experience iu New York which appeared to have touched him very deeply. He was compliuiented, in the first place, by being invited to act as aide upon Gen. Hancock's staff. When he called to report for duty he was handed au order which directed staff officers to take their positions in the line according to their rank. Gen. Gordon was em barrassed when he read this, lie had held one of the highest offices iu the Confederate army, but under the existing order of things ha had no rank. So he solved the vexed ques tion of his position by going modest ly to the end of the line below every one of the regular army officers down lo the humblest But he was not permitted to remain there. Au aide from Gen. Hancock came, galloping up and directed Gen. Gordon as the ranking officer to take his position at the head of the staff next to Hancock himself- This recognition of his old grade deeply touched Gen. Gordon, not that he cared anything for' the position itself. He is too much of a man of the world to be moved about trifles, but the spirit of courtesy and frif.Tiriiinesa that dictated the offer stirred his chivalrous netuie to its fullest dapths. Again at the tomb Gen. Gordon fell back, decided to yield the place to some of Gen. Han cock's regular military associates. But even theu he was foiled w his attempt by the watchful courtesy of Gen. Hancock. Word came quickly to Gen.

She is a lady in every way fit to appear in any so cieey or at any court, and to make her Jewish origin an excuse for de clining to receive her . husband " as minister -is to ' show a harrow anj mean spirit which Secretary Bayard has denounced as it deserves. When Congress asks for the publica tion of the con espondence it will be seen that the Austiiaus pay a very discreditable part iu it, and that Secretary Bayard has temperately and with proper dignity, but with proper vigor also, resented aud denounced the narrow-minded bigotry of the Austrian foreign office. THE INDIAN'S THIRST FOR BLOOD. Colonel Royall, of tlie army, says a Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune, is one of the best known Indian fighters in the service. He is here ou leave, his health being much impaired" by many years life on the frontier. Speaking of the pres ent disturbances ar-.d the love for murder which everv Indian eeems to possess iu a greater or less degree. he said : "I once asked a remarkably intelligent Indian, who was known have kilerla -wJiite juau some years ago, why it was that his race enjoyed so much going on the war path and killing people. The con versation which ensued ran some thing like this, the Indian beginning : "Did you ever shoot a rabbit ?" -Yes." "Did you ever shoot a deer ?" "Yes." "Didn't you get more fun out of killing the deer than the rabbit ?"' "Yes, I guess so." "Well, there's a heap more fun for an Indian to kill a man than a deer." "That was Indian logic, and pret ty good logic, too, I should say," Col. Royall remarked, and added : ""My experience has been that the minute an Indian sheds human blood, it seems to affect the whole tribe the same way that the smell of blood would a pack of wild beasts. It in toxicates them. They become dev ils. They must satisfy their lust for murder, aud the settlers on the trail they inane their victims." A SUCCESSFUL SCHEME. Texas Siftings.

A ball shattered my left leg. I lay on the ground not far from Cemetary Ridge, and a Gen. Lee ordered his last retreat ha and his officers rode near me. At they came along I recognized him, and faint from exposure and loss of blood, I raised unon my hands, look ed Gen. Lee in the face and houteF as loud as I could, 'Hurrah for tho Union!-' The General beard me, looked, stopped his horse, dismount ed and came toward me. I confess that I first thought he meant to kill me. But as he came up he looked down at me with such a sad expres sion upon his face that all fear left me, and I wondered what he was about. He extended his hand to me, and grasping mine firmly and looking right into my eyes, he said: v " 'My son, I hope you will soon be well' "If I live a thousand years I shall j never forget the expression in Gen. Lee i face. I here he was- defeated, retiring from a field that had cost him and his cause almost their last hope, and yet he stopped to say words like those to a wounded sol dier of the opposition who had taunted him as he passed by.
