Br. LOUIS, March 19.--The ApHebes
are raising the very mischief down on
the Colorado river, near the town OF
Double Mountain, Texas. A short time
ago wagon belonging TO Drains 10 Hop
kTns was fired upon by o party OF Apa-
che braves. but determined stand
being made the eowardly ''reds" drew
off. The afternoon succeeding the at..
tack upon the wagon, hunter named
Marshall Jewell wac eatstnred after =
desperate Resistance by the same band,
and himself killed and soaiped
and then horribly mutilated. Upon
receiving { intelligence of Jewell's
murder at Double Mountain, d q
party OF eight OF the murdered
man d comrades started out TO avenge
his death. Somewhat indlsoreet, they
found themselves surrounded by nearly
100 yelling, painted demons, who inn
mediately charged upon them. Nothing
daunted at this seeming certainty OF
death the brave eight repealed the
charge and charged IN return, quitting
through the lines OF tho enemy, killing
four Of them, and with the loss OF but
one man, an old hunter named Spotting
Jack. who being wounded In the knee
and having his horse shot from under
him, was left to the tender mercy Of the
enemy. Tho party then returned to
Double Mountain, when o detachment
of fifty men were raised, which imme-
diately started on the trail. Nothing
has been heard Of them since they
started, but when they return they will
no doubt have o good report to make.
The Apaches In that region ore very In
solent. and have several times threat.
eaed tho safety of various ranches In
that neighborhood.

February was o lively month In. the

DAMAGE S.
A Thrifty Husband Makes Money Out of
HIS wife's Misfortune.
New York Heraid.J

New York Herald.
On January 5, 1876, Mrs. Geo. Kane,
OF No. 10 Grand avenue, Brooklyn, was
about entering q Flushing avenue car at
the Fulton ferry, when the car suddenly
started, throwing the lady to the ground.
She sustained an injury to the spine of
. permanent nature. Last year Mrs.
Kane brought suit In the City Court
against the company and recovered a
verdict for two thousand seven hundred
dollars, Her husband then brought suit
in the same court to recover o,009
damages for the loss of the services of
his wife, through her inability to per
form her usual domestic duties. The
latter case was tried before Judge Reyn-
ol5s last fall. when the jury gave him
verdict for $500. On application OF the
Defendants counsel, Winchester Brit
ton, the verdict was set aside as ex-
cessiye, and a new trial was ordered.
Yesterday the cause was retired before
Judge Neilson, Counselor Morris ap-
pearing for the plaintiff. The jury gave
a verdict Tor the plaintiff in the sum OF
$1,000. The case will be again appealed
by defendants.

MARRIED ON HORSEBACK.

STORY OF OLD sLAvEHoLDING TINES.
| once knew a wealthy widow whose
large plantation and swarms of negroes
did not give occasion for half SO much at
tention and trouble as her only daughter,
Kate. 'v.ts r
The mother was a vigorous specimen
of her sex, broad and ruddy, used to
| being up early of mornings, with voice
which could he heard and felt from the
''gr't house, as the mansion OF the white
| folks was called. to the "quarters" where
the black lived. 1t was little her slaves
| cared for their overseer in comparison.
| For "old Miss Kate"-the mothers name
being the same as the daughters-they
did care. She was the highest ideal of
energy of which they could form any
conception, and of sleepless watch also,
so far as smoke-house, corn-crib, poultry
yard, cotton-gn, press or field was con-
| cerned. Pallas Athene was vaporous
phantom to the Athenians as a tutelary
diety, in comparison to Ms. Ryle in the
eyes OF her subjects. She was their SUI
perstition. 1t she did not see everything,
know everything, hear everything, do
| everything on the plantation, it was i'm
on the place to suggest the exception.
Never sick herself, never off the grounds,
apparently never asleep, she worked
harder than the hardest worked hand
| there, and always harder than the 'smart-
est boy" of them all in ''the rush OF the
| season." when the last handful OF cotton
was to be got in and the last bale of the
crop was to be pressed. She was present
OF m ha al-s
all their sick, cut and had made under
her own eyes all their clothes, saw in
person to all their food, directed the
least detail of every funeral. Any idea
of Providence bevond ''ole Miss Kate"
on their part was vague to the last de-
gree.
But Kate the daughter-and she had no
son-was ten times the trouble TO her of
all her place and people. At Is the
lesser Kate gave assurance OF filling up
in fullest measure and in due time the
utmost outlines of the older and larger
Kate. 1t was her having neither husband
nor son to do it for her which had so
developed the mother compelled to man.
age her large property herself.
Now. Kate the younger had gradually
secured to herself the exclusive care of
So much of the possessions OF her mother
as came under the head of '.the stock"
A serious charge it was, requiring and
wonderfully developing all the energies
of this duplicate OF her mother. Tho
plantation rolled its acres upon one side
along a .'rivet-bottom,' the waxy, black
soil Of inexhaustible fertility for cotton
and corn wherever the pecan trees, with
their wagou-oad of nuts in the season,
had been girdled or cut down for the
crops. On the other side Of the "grt
house." which stood upon ridge above
chlls and fever, the surface spread in
bllows as of the heaving sea to the hori-
zon, one wide wealth of the sweetest and
richest mesquit.grass, over which roamed
