At Amargo, n ST sion On : e Apache
reservation, | had an OPP Ort nifty to
inspect the dreaded re skin on his
native heath. There were about fifty
of them, men, women and children,
around the depot. AS soon as the train
came to stop, they made a rush for the
news agent, and bought out nearly his
entire stock of apples at eXorbitant
prices. II is an amusing sight to watch
an Apache devour an apple. His facial
expression is one of supreme happiness.
Scalp-taking and apple-eating appear to
be their chief accomplishments. Their
dress was mixture of white mans and
Indians. The long, straight, black
hair was parted in the middle and tied
pp-a switch on the back of his head.
This was adorned with gay feathers.
Their shoulders and chests were covered
with bright-colored blankets. Their
legs were encased in pantaloon legs.

pair of pants sent by the Great Father.
proceeds at once to cut out the seat.
These pantaloon legs were bound onto
them by bands of red, white and blue
cloths. They cit Ter wore moccasins or
nothing at all on their feet.
l tried to negotiate with an aged
worthy, who, by the way, bore the rep
utation of having taken in his day some
thirty or forty scalps, for the purchase
of his bow and culver of arrows. "How
muchP" said 1. "Five doucee," hold
ing up his outspread hand. l asked him
again and he dropped his price to
g Four doucee and a half" We con-
tinued to haggle, partly in Indian
English and partly in pantomime, until
the train got ready to leave, when he
let me have the coveted prize for zone
doucee," or one dollar.
The Apache has acquired many civil
lied ideas besides those incident to the
striking of barga3. He has always
an excuse ready for his misdoIngs, no
matter how heinous his offense may be.
One old Indian of this tribe had the rep
utation of being a very bad Indian.
Among other things he had killed his
mother, his wife and his pappoose. In
consequence he soon gained the reputa-
ton of "bad Indian" This was too
much for the noble red man. So he
enters his complaint to the Indian agent.
Says he: "Thev don't treat me fair

mother. Yes, did. but 1 did it be-
cause she was too old to work. Then
they say killed my wife. l did that

talk about my killing my pappoose.

much and 1 couldn't sleep. 1 am

The MOntenegrin POst.Office.

1t would be very difficult to find a
worse organized establishment. For
The past five years the Austrian Govern
ment has paid Director, whose mission
it was to organize postal service: in
all this time he has succeeded in estab-
fishing but one post-oflice, that of Get
TIME. Throughout the rest of the Prin-
cipality there isn't a single letter-box,
postman, or office for the sale of stamps.
Whether this backwardness be due to the
want of energy or talent on the part of
the Director l can't say. Certain it is
that he has other talents of a minor
kind. He can initiate the flute by
whistling over the edge of knife, an
accomplishment which affords infinite
qualification to the dancing portion of
the Cettinje community, and, besides.
the owner of the hotel being absent on
military service, he conducts the estab-
lshment, looks after the cooking, tastes
the wines, and makes the chamber
maids attend to their duties. 7Insleyi

Musical Signals.

In fashionable Brooklyn Church
there are two organs, and the two or
ganists telegraph to each other by %
code of musical signals. At a public
rehearsal the singers were much wearied
and sung with lack of spirit that the
organist wished to correct. According
" he blended into an interlude the air,
''Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter BeP'
The choir braced up and the audience
remained in ignorance. Presently the
musical spirit sagged again, and the
organist put into another interlude
touch of days of Absence" with an
exaggerated expression indicating about
the way in which the choir was singing,
and this stimulated them again. The
leader was asked what was the usual
signal to the other organist. He said:
"Ium-ti ti-tum ti-tum ti-tum IT, the
last syllable being in a high key.

ATLANTA, Ia., Zee. 10.
The CoIored Educational Conyen-
ton had quiet but interesting ses-
sion here this moruing, the time
being taken up in five minute
speeches on the educational situation
in Georgia and the best way to in.
crease the school facilities. The con-
vention adjourned at 0 o'clock to-
night. The afternoon was spent in
hearing addresses and passing resolu
tiona. A committee was appointed
to memorabilia Congress on the sub
ject of national aid, and another COM
mittee was appointed to visit Con
gress and present the memorial. A
third committee was appointed 10
memorable the State Legislature.
General resolutions were passed ask
ing for colored representation on the
Boards OF Education and for the cleo
ton of school officers instead of their
appointment. This action was taken
because some counties have negro
msjorities, and it is hoped to thus put
ton. A thorough organization was
effected for political campaigns, with
a view to casting the colored vote for
men who will pledge themselves to
increase the school fund. The man.
agement of the campaigns will be left
to a Committee Of Sixty, and the
policy to be vigorously aggressive.
District committees are to work up
matters in their neighborhoods and
counties. aud if the plan is carried
out, may be able to affect the color
of legislation more or less. J. G.
Brice, a prominent colored man OF
North Carolina, made long and en-
couraging speech to the convention,
in the course of which he said the
United States owed the colored
people an education. The session
was thoroughly harmonious.
