The Narlike Apache.

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean says: The Apache is not only the
most warlike Of American Indians and
| do not except the Ute Indians, the
Sioux, nor the Comanches-but he is also
the most skilled in war. Trained to an
endurance which would be unattainable
in more endurable country; with the
eve Of hawk. the stealth of a coyote,
the courage Of tiger, and its mcrciless-
ness. he is the Bedouin of the new world.
He has horses that will exist on a blade
Of grass to an acre, and will travel 10
miles in twenty-four hours thereby with
out falling dead on the homestretch. lie
knows every foot of his savage country
better than YOU know the interior of
your parlor. He finds water and food
where the best of US would starve to
death for Che want of both. More than
100 different plants yield him intestinal
revenue. He has Businesses from which
no force can dislodge him; and when
you Law siege he quietly slips out by
some back door canon, and IS OFT like
thistle down on the wind.
The dangerousncss of an Indian is IN
inverse ratio to his food supply The
Apache, born to starvation, his whole
life a constant fight to wrest living from
yixenish nature, as well as to wrest life
from his neighbor is whctted down to a
ferocity Of edge never reached BY the In
dian of section where wood and water
and faciIe game abound.

be the longest on record. But now it

A Wonderful Toy.

A wonderful toy has been on private
exhibition in Paris. Fancy seven life
sized kittens covered with real skin, but
with eyes of emerald set in white enamel,
and playing upon flute, zithern, a
violin, drum, harp, cornet and an
accordion, all perfectly harmonized and
going through the most striking airs of
the new and successful comic operasl
The unseen mechanism is of the same
kind as that of musical box, and the
sounds given forth are most delightful,
so that the owner Of this remarkable toy
can have a most agreeable concert at any
time by touching certain springs and
winding them up.

Fair Morning IN the HarhOr.


Fair morning is on tbs harbor,
And morning on the bay,
And the boats that were lying at anchor
Now silently steal away.
No wind in the sails to bear them;
They drift with the tide afar,
Till they enter the outer harbor
And silently cross the bar.
1t may be the skipper is sleeping,
He sits at the rudder so still;
1t may be the skipper is thinking
OF his young wife on the hill.
She wastes no moment in signing;
with day her labors begin,
Wide open she filings the shutters
10 let the still sunshine in.
She pauses only an instant
To look at the steel-gray dew,
From that to the rose bush glances,
Where it sparllles fresh and new.
And down the slope to the harbor,
And over the harbor afar;
For her dear little heart with the skipper
Is just now crossing the bar.
"God bless her" the skipper is saying,
God bless himn' the wife returns,
Thus each for the other is praying,
While each for the other yearns.
