curious TraaI1Ien. ortho Ash.

The Ashantees have this tradition, and
on it their religious opinions-it religious
they can be tcrmed-sre bSilt: In the be-
ginning of the world God created three
white mon and three white women, three
black men and three black women. That
these tw elve human souls might not com
plain Of divine partiality and Of their sep
arate conditions, God elected that they
should determine their own fates by their
own choice Of good and evil. A large cal
sbaSh or gourd, was placed by God on the
ground, and close by the side of the Gala
bash also q small folded piece OF paper.
God ruled that the black man should have
the first choice. He chose the calabash
because he expected the calabash, being
so large. could not but contain everything
needful for himself. He opened the Gala
bash and found a scrap Of gold, scrap OF
iron, and several other metals OF which he
did not understand the use. The white
man had no option. He took, of course,
the small folded piece Of paper; and dis
covered that, on being unfolded, 1t revealed
a boundless stock Of knowledge. God
then left the black men and women in the
bush, and led tho white men and women
to the seashore He did not fOrsake
the white men and women, but communi-

while they returned to Africa with vari-

AriOzona Apaches.

WASHINGTON, October 27.-COl. Brad
ley, of the Thirteenth Infantry, has
sent the following communication to
the War Department, touching the
operations of the troops pursuing the
hostile Apaches, under date, Santa Fe,
October 9th:
General Crook reports by telegraph
that the hostile Apaches, who have been
in the Dragon AMI Chihachua Noun
tains, Arizona, since the last of Septem-
Der, were driven to Mexico, on
the 9Th instant, by two troops OF
the Twelfth Cavalry and a party
of cowboys. 1 have ordered
five troops of the Sixteenth Cavalry,
under Col. Morrow, to occupy the line
from Chambrey, on the Southern Pa
cific Railway, TO the Miners Cienega,
and to patrol this line daily from the
Rio Grande to the Arizona line. These
pests, with daily patrols, will watch the
country better than the former posts
on the Mexican line, in my opinion,
and enable US to get earlier information
of any movements of the hostiles north
north through this Territory. The re-
port of hostile Indians near the Datil
mountains, about ten days ago, was ln-
correct. A party of Navaios hunting
IN that country were mistaken for
Apaches. Major Sumner, of the Eighth
cavalry, reports that he found
no fresh trails on the Mogollon
mountains. Lieut.. Cecil rau in
party of rustlers," disguised, be-
tween Bear Creek and the Lapiils. He
followed them some distance, but they
escaped in the mountains. This pSrty
has probably committed depredations
that have been charged to the Indians.
Mayor Sumner will endeavor to capture
or break up this party. As lar as
known, there are none of the hostile
Apaches in New Mexico, though, as they
have been driven out of Arizona, it is
very probable they will return to this
Territory, sooner or later.
The commanding officer of Fort
Wingate reports a collision between a
civil officer and q small party of
Navajos yesterday, at Gallup, west of
Wingate. The difficulty grew out of an,
attempt to arrest a Navajo Indian,
charged with stealing cattle. Shots
were exchanged and one Indian is re-
ported wounded. The dispatches of
last evening announce the difficulty is
over. Colonel Grafton thinks it was
caused by tn hasty action Of the whites,
and it may lead to some further action
on the part of the civil authorities.

High Standard.

WAsHINGrOS, October 27,-The Star
tonight says: at is understood that
Secretary Bayard does not contemplate
making any changes In the consular
service in the countries south Of the
United States for some time yet. 1t is
the policy of the State department to
cultiqate more friendly relations with
Mexico and the South and Central
American people, and to extend our
commercial intercourse in thatdirection.
For this reason the consuls who have
already secured the good opinion of the
people with whom they have TO zeal, 1t
Is thought will be of greater service just
now than would new men who have to
devote most of their time at first to
making acquaintance 1d winning con.
fidences. The delay IN consular and
diplomatic positions Is due not more 20
desire TO respect the tenure of office
and law than to wish TO maintain
higher standing for service.

adelphia. presided. Resolutions were
adopted TO hold Mendelssohn Celebra-
ton on the 4th of January, 1886. Ad-
dresses will be delivered on the life of
Mendelssohn in the synagogue that day
and the following Sabbath. The chill
dren will be addressed on the subject.
DR.. Mendez introduced a resolution
providing that the oath of October be
observed annually as Monteiore day.
Considerable discussion was created,
and the resolution was finally laid on the
table. Among those who opposed the
resolution was DR.. Sold, of Baltimore,
who said he was not IN favor of canon
ising anybody, that the practice had
never been introduced, and that it
would be unjust to the illustrious men
who were so plentifully streTn through
Jewish history. The meeting then re-
solved itself into a committee Of the

1t was decided to form Jewish School

A Quaker Girl's Dilemma

Residing on the Clackamas River. in
Clackamas County, Oregon. says the
Portland Sunday Welcome, is a good old
Quaker couple, whose pretty daughter,
with her ''thees" and "thous" and chaste
style of dressing, has been more thor
oughly admired than any one for miles
around. In fact, Kate Castleton, the
theatrical Quakeress, at her prettiest
would not compare with this true-born
Hicksite girl for genuine beauty and
real lovable characteristics. The fame
of her beauty was not confined to the
immediate neighborhOod of her fathers
farm, but had reached the ears of
stalwart young stone cutter OF this city
named Stafford, and also the auriculars
of gay young railroad engineer named
Morgan.
Both fell in love with the modest girl
at first sight; the parents Directing to
Stafford, who was Catholic, while the
daughter manifested slight preference
| for him. To make long story short,
Stafford was so DEVOTED in his attentions
| that, unknown to the parents, be sue
ceeded in engaging himself to the object
OF his alteration, and gave her 800
with which to purchase a few necessary
articles of wearing apparel. This reach
ing the fathers ears he sent for Stafford
and MOrgan-the latter appearing upon
the scene accompanied by two friends
and with his pretty daughter met them
all in his little parlOr.
The feelings OF the rivals can be well
| imagined when the blunt Old Quaker
announced to bis daughter thar her two
admirers were before her, and that, al
though he preferred the engineer, he
would leave the choice of her future
| husband entirely to her. The poor gill
| burst into tears, and it could be plainly
seen by the tumultous heaving of her
bosom that a great struggle was going
on between filial devotion on one side
and love in the choice of her young
heart on. the other Pending the de-
cision Stafford and Morgan hardly dared
to raise their eyes from the carpet. At
last, with a mighty effort and a voice
full of tears, the young Quakeress sob
| bed the name OF Stafford, and gently
put her hand IN his. Morgan accepted
the situation like a sensible fellow and,
with his friends, left the house sans
eeremonie.
