Apache courtship.

H.
Even those copper-co'ored cut
throats, the Apache Indians, have a
touch of dcliacy and romance in them.
From lecture delivered in San
Francisco by Col. John @. Oamany,
we take the following, account OF
their counting customs: Every young
girl is at liberty to refuse suitor for
her hand, Tie father, mother, and
brother are prohibited from inter-
ering in her choice. Her person is
at her own disposal, After brief
courtship the lover makes formal
proposal by offering so many horses.
Horses arc II standard of value smong
Indians AS the squaw does all the
work, horses are accepted as an equiv.
alcnt Tor her labor. WheA u Young
warrior becomes enamored he fastens
the horse near the wigmam Of the
.squaw whose hand he seeks, where
he is left Tor four days. Ii she fails.
to feed and water the horse during
that time the master is rejected, but
il she accepts his offer she grooms
and kindly cares for the horse, and
then ties him to the wigwain Of her
lover, as much as to say, Il am will
ing to be your slave and do your work"
AT the marriage the sagcs and sachems
meet together, and the bride is not
unlrequently loaded with forty to
fifty pounds ofsilvcr or copper trinkr

How to Distinguish Diamonds

M. Rabinet, of the French Academy
of Sciences, gives the following test
to distinguish colorless gelus from
diamonds. Ita porson looks through
a transparent stone at any small OBJ
ject, such IS the point OF a needle, or
q little hole In card, and sees two
small points, or two small holes, the
stone Il not diamond. All white
colorless gems, with the exception OF
the diamond. make the object exam
ined appear double; in other words,
double reiraction whenever exhibited
by stone, is conclusive proof that 1t
Is not diamond.

Mr.. Schwartz, OF dving.swan fame
For many years the world remained
in comparative darkness and ignor-
once concerning this great and good
man. In fact little or nothing was
known OF him, more than that he was
a Bavarian Missionary TO the bcnight-
ed Indians, aud that when he died,
he sang like a dying swan, and also
when he sang, he died like q singing
swan. For many long weary years
he was supposed 10 have lived and
died bachelor, but recent develop.
ments have proven that this supposi.
ton was false, A young lady friend
of ours, who sometimes contributes
TO those columns, discovered and
showed severa! years ago that old
man Schwartz was not only married
IN his life time but actually lett be-
hind him beautiful and accomplish
ed daughter, now living In Union
county to mourn his loss. Miss
Schwartz went to live in uaion coun.1
ty because she said in Union there is
strength. II now comes to light that
the old man had also a son who was
tho delight and comfort Of his doiiug
father, as is cvinced by the accompa-
nying poem written by the old mans
own hand. aud which was
no doubt afterwards set to music and
chanted by him while on his dying
couch. CoRREsroNDEHT.
