Archery may be said never to have
entirely gone out of fashion, even after
the introduction Of villainous saltpetre
and the musket Edward VI. was fond
Of the bow, and Charles /. not only
practiced it, but encouraged its use
among its subjects. Charles II. and
his queen patronized tournaments Of
archers, and rs late as 1852 thousand
bowmen competed at a grand fete given
by the London Artillery company. In
Cromwell's time, the weapon was not
entirely banished from the army. and
Charles III. had bis keeper Of the bows.
At Chester on Shrove Tuesday and
Easter Monday, the archers shot for
prizes provided by the bridegrooms of
the past year; and at Harrow, we he
lieve is still preserved the arrow for
which, up the year I'LL, the boys shot
annually on the 4th day Of August, q
day associated in the minds Of their sue
cessors with oratorlcsl displays. Nor
must it be forgotten that the Queens
body guard in Scotland are the Royal
Archers, who have always numbered
in their ranks the pick Of the Scottish
aristocracy and citizens Of Edinburgh.
The very jargon 80 freely employed re-
Gently has been transmitted unbroken
from former times. Flight and clout
shooting, and rovers allowance, bear
ing, bobtaiiing, chrysal, cutting the
mark, he-heing, keeping length,
nocking, over handing, linking, tab,
under bowling, wind down, whipping,
and SO forth, are all terms as old as

Cattlenen's Convention.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 18.-The second
dsys's session Of the National Convention Of
Csttlemen began in this city this morning.
Chairman Rainwater announced that the citi-
zens' executive committee Of St. Louis had In
vtted the delegates to grand promenade con-
cert At the Merchants Exchange. Hon. John
Finn was appointed sergeant-at-Arms. The
formal ann ouncement wss then made Of the
permanent organization, and resolutions, con-
sisting Of one delegate from each association
which is rcoresentcd In the convention, and
from each state and territory, numbering in
all over one hundred In each committee. The
most fruitful cause Of discussion and delay
which has thus far been developed In the
tion. By the action Of the convention yes
terday, the committee on the subject was
made up Of one delegate from each associa-
tion which Is represented. II 10 thought now
by many that this action was Ill considered
and apt TO result In much debate, II not in bad
feeling. Mr.. Carey II Wyoming, said this
morning that he represented not only the
largest association In the convention, but the
soclation, representing q, ,06O 900 head OF cat
tie. This is made up Of fourteen minor asso-
Citations, each Of which might be considered ~
entitled TO representative on the committee.
However, he would not insist on this, but he
venti0n to the fact that this gigantic concern
had the same voice, and no more, than dozen
minor associations, owning, perhape, one sim
gle small herd Of cattle.
On rcasscmbling at 8 p. m Mr.. Harris of
Montana announced that the Committee on
Credentials wss not ready TO report, and Mr..
Scwai!en Of New Mexico made q similar an
nouncement for the Committee on Permanent
Organization, whereupon the Convention ad-
journcd till 10 o'clock tomorrow. The COM
mittce on permanent organization will present
in the morning the name Of Governor Routt Of
Colorado for Permanent Chairman; General
Curtis Of New York for First Vice President
and one Vice President from each State and
Territory represented, aui Major A. T. Atwa-
ter Of st. Louis as Secretary. The Committee
to report ut the opening Of the morning ses-
sion, and It ia expected that no further delay
will occur TO the business Of the convention.

NIescalero Indians i'm Town

The lobby of the fremont house presented
a picturesque scene last evening as REPUB-
LIcAN reporter entered. A delegation of
Mescalero and Jecorela Apache Indians were
seated about the apartment. They ar
rived here yesterday from New Mexico,
where the tribes are located, and are
The names of tho detachment are
Nantagila, chief; Tall Bull, Peso captain
of Indian polce), Roam Horse Captain of
Indian police, Haratu, Augustine, and Juan
Jailier. The chief and Tall Bull were attirsd
in fantastic outfits. Bright colored blankets
were wrapped about their rather stout forms,
their faces were bedaubed with bright red and
mounted their heads. The police cap
tains. Peso and Roam Horse, were
distinguishable by their uniforms. Peso
wore uniform of navy blue, with
gilt buttons and red trimmings similar to
those worn by United States troops in the
Mexican campaign. Roam Horse wore sky
blue uniform, such as are issued by the gov
ernment to inmates of soldiers homes. These
Indians are all fine looking men. The object
of their visit to this city is to recover poses
sion of n tract of land (about 1900 acres) al
legged to have been withdrawn from the Mes
calero reservation by an erroneous survey.
The land is now being occupied by white set
tiers. The delegation called upon Secretary
Teller yesterday.
1t will be remembered that about one year
ago provisions became short on tho Mescalero
reservation in New Mexico and Agent
Lewellyn telegraphed to the interior depart
ment that if the government did not hurry
and send food he would pack up and leave
the reservation, as he was afraid that there
would be an outbreak. He feared that him
self and family would be butchered in that
event,

"Wo are here TO represent the Creek people
before congress and the depsrttb bents. One of
the chiefs principal objects, however, is 20
bring TO the attention of congIess the losses
our people sustained by the rebellion. He
thinks the government will respect his claims
because he was member of tn o union rogi.
ment of Indian home guards. These claims
embrace between 6,000 aud 7,00) Greeks who
were forced into Kansas rs refugees by the
con federatcs.
How about the recent elect on troubles in
your nation 2" quered the repdrter.
That is settled, | think,p he replied.
"Tbe opposition candidate fdr head chief
tried TO count Hon. lspehcche out, but the
vote showed that he had been elected by "a
majority. The agent of the interior depart
ment who investigated the matte is satisfied
that lspeheche is elected. The opposition in
| counting the returns threw out the votes of
three towns, but the election was ratified by
the chief justice of the Muskogeo nation, and
will therefore stand"
is the Creek nation prOspcrpus?'
Very was the reply. "Wd are au agrl-
cultural people, aud as au evidence of our
prosperity, over $4,000 was appropriated last
| year for the support of our public schools"
| At this point three fantasti cally attircd
Apaches, wearing great rcd blankets and
with their faces hideously daubtd with bright
red and yellow paint, entered the room The
speaker, after smilingly shaking hands with
them, turned to the reporter and said "rhe
