Marriage Among the Apaches

Even those copper colored cut-throats, the
Apache Indians, have touch of delicacy and
romance in them. From a lecture delivered In
San Francisco by Colonel John O. Carmany we
take the following account of their counting GUS
toms
Every young girl is at liberty to refuse a suiter
for her hand. The father. mother, and brother
are prohibited from interfering in her choice.
Her person is ct her own disposal. After brief
courtship the lover makes a formal proposal by
offering 30 many horses Horses are standard
OF value among Indians. AS the squaw does all
the work, horses are accepted as an equivalent
for her labor When young warrior becomes
enamored, he fastens his horse near the wgwam
of the squaw whose hand he seeks, where he ID
left for four days. II she fails to feed and water
the horses during that time the master is reject
ed, but il she accrpts his offer she grooms and
kindly cares for the horse and then ties him to
the wigwam of her lover as much as to say, II
am willing to be your slave and do your work"
At the marriage the sages and sachems meet
together, and the bride is not unfrequently load
cd with forty or fifty pounds Of silver and copper
trinkets,

The Providence Journal discourses appetizing-
ly OF certain pals of butter which have glad
dened that market, coming all the way from an
Illinois dairy sweet, fresh and possessing del
icate aroma, uniform in quality and hardly dis
tingushable from each other, though made in
summer, autumn and winter:
They contain little salt and no buttermilk.
The perfect butter is churned daily from fresh
milk Here lies the secret Milk one hour
butter the next. No setting of milk pans and
storing up of cream. No subjection of milk and
cream to atmospheric, electric and thermal
changes. No expensive cellars with running
water to secure fresh air and equal temperature,
or default, a perpetually fiuctuating product of
butter. In place of the band churn, the power
churn. In place of inefficient hand working OF
the butter, jaws worked by powder, squeezing
out the buttermilk, just as the melted Stag is
squeezed out of the softened iron pudding"

Some of the young female operatives in the
Lowell factories have provided, out of their
slender earnings a home for worthy girls who
are out of work where also the children OF
mothers engaged in the mills are taken care OF
during the hours of labor.
The New York Times gives long list of the
organic atoms in active operation n that city to
assist and relieve destitute and unfortunate
girls 1t AYERS that there is plenty OF work for
all females willing to perform it, and declares
that 1.-THE fact is, in New York, that no poor girl
need take to dishonest courses for living. II
she does it it is from sheer folly, perverslty, or
ignorance Besides the various institutions OF
charity, q Thousand homes are open to shelter
aud employ her. The great thing which IL need
ed in this city is precisely what the Ohldref
Aid Society and other kindred associations are
doing-the training of children and young girls
in the habits Of purity, order, and industry, 80
that they may be kept from crime atterward,
and the offering to those who are little older
temporary shelter, so that in the short interval
of losing one occupation and taking up another
they may not be driven into criminal courses.
For domestic service, wages, during the war
doubled or trebed in price But as our curren-
cy retarned toward its normal standard, their
payment remained the same, Aud now, when
kitchen girl can buy her calico and shoes at about
the same price as before the war, her wages have
risen from seven dollars to fourteen or twenty
one per month. Little girls, of from ten TO
thirteen, who ought to be in school, Will earn %
per week in factories girls OF the same age to be
employed in families az messengers will receive
$6 o $8 per month and their board. Young
girls who enter the various sewing-machine
schools, entirely ignorant of the business, will
often go forth i'll three weeks with q competent
knowledge, aud earn from 81 to - per day. In
all the region round New York sewing machine
women are in demand at from 81 30 to ~ a day
