Cattlemen's Resolutions.

The following preamble and resolutions
which were introduced by Hon. Granville
Stuart in the Cattlemen's Convention in
Chicago, and which were adopted by that
body, explain themselves. They are sound
to the core:
WHEREAS, In the Territory of Montana
more than 1000 square miles of land is
set apart as Indian reservations; and
Whereas, The greater portion Of said
land lies along the International boundary
between the United States and the Domin-
ion OF Canada; and,
Whereas. The Indians in the western
blood and speak the same language as the
adjacent tribes on the Canadian side; and
that they visited back and forth at will,
and when they return homo they almost
invariably steal the horses and kill the
cattle of the settlers on both sides of the
boundary line; and
Wheras, This state of affairs can never
be remedied so long as there is an Indian
res ,rvation along the Canadian border.

Ancient Writing MaterlaI.

When the Prophet Ezekiel was COM
manded to write about the city Of Jeru-
salem, he was compelled to write his ac-
count on smooth tiles, and we find frag-
ments of such tiles to this day. The
heaps of broken pots and crockery of all
Sorts which are now so abundant in all
Eastern towns, prove that bits of smooth
stone or tiles were constantly used for
this purpose The Island Of Elcphantine,
on the Nile, is said to have furnished
more than a hundred such specimens.
One Of these is soldiers leave of alb
seucs, scribblcd on a fragment of an old
vase. How little those scribcs and ac-
countants imagined the interest with
which their descendants would one day
treasure their rough notesl Still quaint
cr were the writing materials of those an
cicnt Arabs who, before the time of
Mohammed, used to carve their annals
on the shoulder-blades of sheep. The
''shecp-chroniclcsn were strung together,
and thus preserved After awhile sleeps
bones were replaced by Sleeps skin, and
the manufacture of parchment was
brought to such perfection as to place it
among the rcfinemcnts of art. We hear
of vellums that were tinted yellow, others
white. Others were dyed Of rich pur-
pie and the writing thereon was in gold
en- ink, with gold borders and many
colored decorations. These precious
manuscripts were anointed with the oil of
cedar to preserve them from moths. We
hear of one such in which the name Of
Mohammed is adorned with garlands of
tulips and carnations painted in vived
colors. Still more precious was the silky
paper Of the Pcrsians, powdered with
gold and silver dust, whcreon were
painted rare illuminations; while the
book was perfumcd with after of roses or
essence of sandalwood. OF the demand
for writing materials, one may form some
faint notion from the vast manuscript
libraries Of which records have been pre-
served, as having been collected by the
Caliphs both of the East and the West,
the former in Bagdad, the latter in An
dalusia, where there were eighty great
public Libraries, besides that vast one at
Cordoya. We also hear of private libra
ries, such as that Of physician who de-
clined an invitation from the Sultan of
Bokhara, because the carriage of his
books would have required 400 camcls.

Anacne Charncterisiios

The Apaches and kindred tribes arc
among the most cautis5is-- 49,. -
earth, and also among the most desper-
ate. Near the close of last year band
of Chiricahuas numbering eleven killed
twc1ty-one friendly Apaches living on
the reservation, and twenty-five white
men, women and children. Their supe-
riors as prowlcrs in war probably never
existed. The army officers in Arizona
declare that the Apaches are the ideal
scouts of the whole worl with then
hawk eyes, stcalthy motion and sensitive
ears. Though understood, they have
broad, deep chests muscular limbs. and
small, wiry hands and feet They march
about four miles an hour, hating after a
few hours tramp long enough to smoke
cigarettes. If no matches are at hand
they bring fire in from eight to forty-fve
seconds by rapidly twirling between the
palms hard, round stick fitted into
circular hole in another stick Of softer
fiber. They will march forty miles
day on foot across dry plains and precip-
itous mountains regardless Of the fcrcest
heat. The Apache finds food where the
Caucasian would starve. He can catch
turkeys, quail, rabbits, doves, field mice I
and prairie dogs; feast off dead horse
gather acorns from the stunted mountain
oak; roast the Spanish bayonet or cen
tury plant and strip the fruit and seed
from the cactus; dig the wild potato Of
bulb of the tule; raid the nest Of the
ground-bee; or, if driven to it, keep
down the pangs Of hunger with the inner
bark of the pine or the roots of wild
plants. With the rifle and bow he has a
life training. every track in the trail,
mark in the grass and scratch on the
bark of tree explains itself to an
Apache. He can tell to an hour almost
when the man or animal making them
passed by, and, like hound, will keep
on the scent until he catches up with the
object of his pursuit
