The Apache Indian Scout.


Captain Bourke in Outing for August.
1t may serve to give some idea of the
courage, boldness, and sublety of these
raiders to state that i'm their dash through
Sonora, Arizona, New Mexico and Chi
huahua, distance of not less than 800
miles, they passed at times through To-
calities fairly well settled and close to an
aggregate of at least 5000 troops, 500
Mexican and 500: American. They kill
ed twenty-five persons, Mexican and
American, and lost but two-One killed
near the Total Wreck mine. Arizona, and
one who fell into the hands of the Amer
lean troops, of which last much has to
be narrated.
To attempt to catch such a band of
Apaches by direct pursuit would be about
as hopeless piece of business as that of
catching so many fleas. All that could
be done was done; the country was
alarmed by telegraph; people at exposed
points put upon their guard, while de-
tachments of troops secured in every di-
rection, hoping, by good luck, to inter-
cept, retard, mayhap destroy the daring
marauders. The trail they had made
coming up from Mexico could, however,
be followed back to the stronghold; and
this, in military sense, would be the
most direct, as it would be the most
practical pursuit. The Apache scout
trudges along as unconcerned as he
was when the cold rain or snow of win
ter chilled his white comrade to the
marrow. He finds food, and pretty good
food too, where the Caucasian would
starve. Knowing the habits of wild
animals from his earliest youth, he can
catch turkeys, quail, rabbits, doves, or
field-mice, and, perhaps, a prairie dog
or two, which will supply him with
meat. For some reasons he cannot be
induced to touch fish, and bacon or any
other product of the hog is eaten only
under duress; but the flesh of a horse,
mule. or jackass, which has dropped ex-
hausted on the march and been left to
die on the trail, is delicious morsel
which the Apache epicure seizes upon
wherever possible. The stunted oak.
growing on the mountain flanks furnish
es acorns; the Spanish bayonet, n fruit
that when roasted i'm the ashes of a camp
fire, looks and tastes something like the
banana. The whole region of Southern
Arizona and Northern Mexico is matted
with varieties of the cactus, nearly every
one of which is called upon for its trib-
ute of fruit or seed. The broad leaves
and stalks of the century -plant-called
mescal-are roasted between hot stones,
and the product is rich in saccharine
matter and extremely pleasant to the
taste. The wild potato and the bulb of
the ''tule" are found in the damp noun
tain meadows; and the nest of the
ground-bee is raided remorselessly for
its little store of honey. Sunflower seeds,
when grown fine, are rich and nutri-
tiOus. Walnuts grow in the deep ra-
vines, and strawberries in favorable To-
cations; in the proper season these, with
the seeds of wild grasses and wild pump
kins, tn, gum of the mesquite" or the
sweet, soft inner bark of the pine, play
their part in staving off the pangs of
hunger.

The Midnight Sercnadc.

Tampa Tribune.
The night was serenely beautiful. The
atmosphere was redolent with the per-
fume of flowers; and each star, like a
crown encrusted jewel, shone with bril-
liant splendor. Nothing was to be seen
but a solitary figure coming up the road,
smoking cubeb cigarette. He had ca
tarrh in his head and a guitar under his
arm. Arriving at a vine embOwered
cottage he opened the gate softly and
tripped lightly over the shell walk. He
gazed intently for a few moments at the
second story window. Love beamed in
his eyes, for it was in that room that his
dulcina lay in the arms of Morpheous,
wrapped perhaps in sweetest dreams,
and who knows but of him? His soul
was filled with unspeakable rapture, and
his thoughts scared on lightning wings,
into the realms of fancy. He thought of
the time when he would clasp his darl-
ing Arabella to his breast, and own an
interest in her fathers ice factory and
the corner lot left her by a maiden aunt.
Claude Adolphus continued to puff on
his cigarette, which had grown short as
Jersey bank cashiers accounts just
after an assessment had been paid in.
The blue smoke curled lazily on the per-
fume laden air. An old rooster perched
on the top branches of live oak got a

THE CATERPILLAR IN THE COTTON.
COLUMBIA, S. c., August 3.-The
caterpillar has made its appearance in
the cotton fields. 1t has been noticed
in Sumter county, where it is operating
on ridge lands as well as in the bot
toms. Reports received to-day note the
worms in Orangeburg and Berkeley
counties, and in Anderson county the
boil worm has been seen. The cater
pillar appeared yesterday on the river
bottoms in Richland county, few miles
below Columbia. Reports from all Sec
tions of the State indicate the largest
yield Of all crops for years, and unless
the cotton is badly damaged by worms
the crop will be larger, as the plants are
well fruited.
