THE APACHES.
OPINIONS OF ONE WHO HAS
BEEN AMONG THEM.
Their waVS Not Ways of Pleas
antness, SSOr all Their Paths OF
Peace; a People TO Whom Dis
LancS Lends the EHchantment.


WASHINGTON, b. {. October 10.
Editor Citizen:-I notice nyOur paper,
some days ago, an announcement to the
Indian Board Association, an invitation
to bring on its Apachcs."
When YOU have had as much experience
with, or seen as much of the ApaChes as
the undersigned, | don't hesitate to say
that you will not lose much time Ill dc
manding of the Association to take
away its Apaches."
The writer has lived near neighbor to
the Apaches in Arizona Territory, and is
familiar with their manner of deportinp
themselves, and has seen their exploits
on their native heath, on the sandy dcs-
crts along the Gila river. These black
caunibals live on raw ErasshOppers, liz
yards and snakes; and take great delight
in performing a war dance around a
white victim tied by the hands and heels
to two trees, with Il fire kndled on his
stomach. They are the lowest and most
tcIocious type Of aboriginal humanity
that ever inhabited the continent OF the
TWO Americas. They retain All the
malignity and tiendishness OF the worst
tribes of Indian S1vaGes in the United
States; and come nearer the plane
and character of the lower wild ami
mails than any Indians between the
Iwo oceans Their form is about all
there is hum;l; about them. fhelr reser-
vatiuns in Arizona have been guardcdt tor
years bv a Gordon of forts; but right ulI-
der thI muzzleS OF the guns, and III deh-
ancc to the troops, the black wrctcheS
often break loose undcrcover of the night,
and start on a scalping tour over the
valley settlements. They will often be
have themselves for months properly to
throw the forts off their guard, and then
suddenly before break of day be heard
from, lifting hair and cutting throats of
frontier Settlers, and before the guardians
of Uncle Sam arrive on the scene, the
bloodthirsty and murderous Instincts
born in the ApLches-have been satiated
in the slaughter of ten or twenty men,
women and children-taken unawares by
nocturnal raids. have myself been laid
up for two weeks i'll Spanish ranches,
with the stage coaches rOadbound, or
Sidetracked, waiting for the Apaches to
move, ontheir scalpiug raids, away from
the highways, or for the troops Of the
torts to drive the kniving scamps from
our route.
You say the government proposes to
circulate some money in Western North
Carolina bv the establishment of a fort
in the Basam mountains to guard these
Apachcs. You will find that none, cir
culatcd by the fort is dearly bought,
when those wild Apaches break loose
some night, and, before your tort is
awake, carry havoc into your valley set
Elements. Ifyou expect the forts to guard
the Apachcs and protect your sleeping
mountaineers from the Indian scalping
knives, you expect them to do what they
have never accomplished in Arizona. II
these scalping savages kill one man, wo-
man, or child, in Western North Carolina,
the money brought to the State bya fort
would be a high priced revenue, written
in the blood Of dead North Carolinians.

A Night OFF.

Our theatre goers will have an oppor-
tunity next Wednesday evening, October
3Oth, to see an excellent stock company
produce one of the best comedy successes
of Augustin Daly's Theatre. "a Night
Off," the title of the play, suggests farce
or something of the burlesque order, but
this impression would be entirely an
erroneous one, as the piece is a fine come
dy requiring dramatic ability of high
order to interpret it. The company
that will appear here is composed of well
known actors and was specially engaged
to produce the DAILY Theatre success
throughout the South.

Death of Miss Laura Fripp.

Miss Laura Fripp, native of Charles
ton, S. c., but for the past twenty years
a resident Of this place, died on yester-
day, in the seventy-ffth year of her age.
For nearly ten years past, Miss Fripp
has been an invalid, patiently bearing
her affections and awaiting the call
which to her would indeed be from labor
to refreshment.
A short and most appropriate service
was performed by Rev. Mr. Bryan, in
the presence of small assemblage of
friends last evening, and every one pres
ent realized that the uncomplaining suf-
ferer was, indeed, ASLEEP in Jesus"

There have been stupendous memories

tes and Hortensius and Cineas, of whom
Cicero speaks, and in our later days Pas
cal, who, tits said, vcrlorgot ANYTHING
he had seen, heard, or thought; and Avi-
tenna, who repeated by rOte the entire
| Koran when he was ten years old; and
| Francis Suarez, who, Strada tells us had
the whole OF St Augustine i'll his memory
enough, one would think to destroy all
his mental powers of digestion; and Jus

to repeat all the History" Of Tacitus
without mistake on forfeit oil
his life; and in our own days
edediah Buxton and Icrah Colburn,
among others, who had such a prodigious
power and rapidity of calculating i'll their
minds. Colburn, it is said, could tell the
| number of seconds in iitty-eight years al
\ most before the question could he repeated
rhe story is told that Jedediah Buxton

WASHINGTON, October 22.-[SpeciaI. +
The case Of Cross and White against
North Carolina was argued in the

THE FLOWER MISSION.
The Humanity fthiS AsEeViIleI HI
stitutiOn Attracting Attention.

We are gratifed to see that what THE
CITIZEN has contained relating to the
benevolent and useful work of the Flower
Mission here has attracted the attention
OF the Atlanta Constitution, if not OF
other papers, with view to urge it upon
it's community as useful example. We
quote the following from the Constitu-
ton with the remark that the mission,
having passed beyond the realm of flow
ers and sentiment, has also passed be-
yond the limits of experiment in the field
of practical benevolence. That work is
going on vigorously and with system,
And it is proving blessing to the COM
munity in its warfare with the vagrant
and its enmity to the tramp.
The Constitution says:
A humane experiments is now being tried
at Ashcville, n. c. The ladies of that
place have a "Flower Mission" origin
ally organized to supply the sick and
poor with flowers. This mission has eX-
tended its work. 1t looks out for the
tramps and secures employment for
them. The authorities keep their eyes
open. If they find that an idle stranger
is willing to accept the work provided by
the mission they let him alone, but if he
refuses employment or leaves it to LOAF
about on the streets they nab him at
once.
1t is unnecessary to say that there is no
Flower Mission" in Atlanta to watch
over the great army ofvagrants. If these
rovers are willing to risk themselves
within our gates they will have a hard
road to travel.

A LADY was visiting a friend al
Americas recently, and she wore a
set of false teeth. A little 5-year-
old boy saw her take the teeth from
her mouth, and ran terrified to his
mother, exclaiming: Mamma,
mamma, Miss Mary pulled out a
whole handful of teeth at once, and
tore all the skin out of her mouth,
and didn't cry one bit. 1t didn't
hurt, but you'll have to give Ter all
of old Spackle's eggs to eat, for she
can't chew her vitctuals." He
couldn't be made to understand that
they were false teeth, and was sure
the lady would starve to death.
