has been seen here heretofore. The colorings

ASTUTE APACHES.
THEY TRY THEIR DIPLOMACY ON
 THE .CALIFORNIA COLUMN"
It Was Way Back In GA When the Caiifor- nia Column Had Garrisoned Arizona. They Thought Separate Companies Were Separate Tribes.

It was an interesting story that an old member of the California column told the reporter yesterday. He said: "In the spring of GA we were quartered and fortified in good defensive position where Camp Grant now stands. We were on our guard against Apaches, for their were thousands of them about. The Graham mountains. whose cliffs stood boldly out, only one mile east of our camp, were lined with indians every morning and evening. We numbered just ninety-two men, and we knew that the copper colored dogs could out num- Der us, ten to one, and that if they only had the 'sand" they could annihilate us.
 But we also knsw that they did not possess the sand requisite to tackle the Auglo-Saxon, so we stood our ground without further worry than keeping four men on picket duty continually, for we did not propose to be surprised.
 One afternoon, about three hours be- fore sun down, an alarm was given by the easternmost picket. He discharged his rifle in the ar, and when the ser- geant of the guard with file of men hurried to his position, it was immedi- ately seen that small body of the red- skins were approaching the canton ment.
 They were then distant about half 8 mile, and on the discharge of the gun raised what was supposed to be flag oi truce. At any rate it was something white, and, as we awaited their ap. proach, everyone of us prepared to turn loose at the slightest sign of treachery. On their nearer approach, the flag of truce proved to be V shaped banner, that, it was evident, had once adorned the neither extremities of some white man.
 At recognizing this we were incensed, for we knew that the man who had once worn that flag of truce had fallen victim to their murderous hate. But we held our peace, and when they had advanced within speaking distance our captain, with ten picked men advanced to meet them.
 And what do you think they had come to propose? They told our captain that they had discovered another tribe of white men about 100 miles south, and offered to join in with us and go down and annihilate them. The other tribe of white men was detachment from our own column stationed at what is now known as Camp Bowie; and these Indians, in their ignorance, thought we were separate tribes, and that by pitt ing one against the other they could | clean us both out.
 "It is needless to say that they were sent back with their flag of truce. But few days later we advanced on their strongholds and gave them such a thrashing as they never forgot. am satisfied that they never forgot it, for very few of them remained alive, or in a condition to remember it."

When Your ncnl Ea OF.

As human curiosity has never been satisfied as to the precise moment of death in cases of beheading, the ac- count of the experiment on decapi- tated criminal communicated to French medical journal by leading scientist of Lyons is of absorbing in- terest. This time the results are more satisfactory than has hitherto been the case; the doctor making the following statement with regard to the manifes- tations of consciousness after the head had been separated from the body: 1. That the head, on being separated from the body, remains in possession of all its faculties, if the hemorrhage does not pass certain limits. 9. Inc propor- tion of oxygen in the blood is sufficient for keeping up the nervous functions for a brief space, never exceeding half-minute. 8. That the repeated opening and closing of the jaws after the separation of the head from the body are nothing but the reflex action common in cases of acute asphyxia.

Lawn Tennis and Englishwomen.

Lawn tennis continues to decline in popularity among Englishwomen. The fact is that the game, among ex. perts, is now played at so furious a rate that it is more like hard work than play. When it was introduced at first it was carried on in a very leisurely fashion, without serious disarrangement of costume or overheating of the per son, both serious evils to the feminine performer of che less enthusiastic kind. The game, moreover, has be- come so scientific that the casual play CT has no chance of distinction, and as no young woman is ever willing to be seen at a disadvantage, it naturally fol- lows that the experts have the field al- most entirely to themselves, and that the crop of rising players of the softer sex is growing smaller every year.

How Bi. Fellow Tunbled Overheard
 and Lost His Teeth.
 An amusing accident happened one day last week to a participant in sail ing party at Bar uarbor, the true in- wardness for which is even yet un- known to the other members except one, says the New York World. There were four couples. Among them was a charming young widow whose little boy was kept carefully in the back ground. Her escort was a big, brawny, good-natured fellow, for all the world like the ideal man the lorn woman would cling to. The boat ran consid- erable distance out, and then the happy pairs nestled closer to each other. con- versation Jagged and became half whispered. The widow and her beau were in the shadow of the sail. A gust of wind caused the craft to roll and in- stantly heavy splash startled the ex- cursionists from their reverie. The big fellow had fallen overheard. He was fished out, but the sudden morose- ness which he had apparently ac- quired in the water made him a veritable damper on the company and the party was headed toward the shore. The unfortunate took the ex- press north the next day. The widow, learning he had gone, told friend in great confidence and with many bushes that the poor man was just about to kiss her when the boat rocked, and in his excitement his false teeth became loose and sank in the sea. She knew it, for she saw them flash in the moon light ere they disappeared forever.

 NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Dr. Paul Glbier. director of the New York Pasteur Insti- ute, reports for the first six months of the second year of the institute that Alb persons, having been bitten by dogs, cats and other animals, applied for treatment. In the case of 345 of these persons it was demonstrated that the animals attacking them were not mad. In seventy cases the anti-hydIophobia treatment was applied, hydrophobia of the animals intiicting the bites having been evidenced clinically, or by inocu- lation at the labratory, and in many cases by the death of other persons or animals bitten by the same dog.
 lndigents were treated free of charge. There were treated seventeen from New York, sixteen from New Jersey, eleven from Massachusetts, five from South Carolina, five from Texas, three from Connecticut, two from Maryland, two from Missouri one from Ohio, one from North Carolina, one from Michigan, one from Pennsylvania, one from Rhode Island, one from Arkansas, one from Virginia, one from Mexico, one from West Indies.
 Marion Adams, years old, of South Birmingham, Mass, who was badly bit ten on July IA in nineteen places by q dog recognized to be mad, was treated from July l5 to Aug. l. Symptoms of hydrophobia appeared six days later. She died on August 9. Three other per sons (two sisters of the patient and a man bitten by the same dog) who re- ceiyed the same course of treatment, are now in good health.
 This, so far, is the only death by hy- drophobia out of the 255 cases treated at this institute to date.

AN ISLAND OF THE DEAD.

Miles of Fare Rocks Covered with Thou
 sands of Human Skeletons.
 "A party of explorers from Ventura, Cal, recently returned from an eXpedi- ton to San Nicholas island, which is located seventy miles off the coast of California, opposite Monterey county. Tbc island is twelve miles long and four miles wide. On the east side of the island the party found human bones for a distance of five miles along the beach. They also discovered the remains of hundreds of human bodies upon the higher land half mile from the beach. In some places two and three skeletons were found together as if they had been buried in the same grave. The wind had blown the soil away, exposing the ghastly relics of some unknown race.
 From all appearances, says a San Francisco paper, upward of four or five thousand bodies must have been buried on the island. A rude hut was found on the west side of the island, buried to tho roof in sand. The explorers visited the islands with view to taking up gov ernmcnt land. After walking around for two days on a carpet of human bones and bare rocks they concluded not to exhaust their rights on land so valueless. The rocks were entirely des- titutc of soil, givin 2 the whole island a very desolate appearance

nere is clever scrap from letter written to John Lothrop MotI,y by Oliver Wendell Holmes: ''I sat by the side of Emerson, who always charms me py his delicious voice. his fine sense and wit and the delicate way he steps about the words of his vocabulary. If you have seen cat picking her foot steps in wet weather you have seen the picture of Emerson's exquisite intel lgence feeling for its phrase or epithet.

ARIZONA MINES. There are Plenty of Them Everywhere if You win Only Look.

The platinum mines, the discovery of which was mentioned in the evening paper, will, no doubt, be another source of wealth to this fortunate valley-per- haps, however, not so lasting as the tin mines recently discovered on the south side of the river. So far, in the worlds knowledge of mineralogy, platinum has not been found except in nuggets-never in lodges. But this new discovery only helps to demonstrate the truth, that in Arizona it is only necessary to stub ones toe against rock and knock off piece of it, to discover mineral ledge.

Judge o. B. Boomer left yesterday for Harrisburg, where he IS the supreme justice of the peace. After arranging matters there. he will start on a pros pecting trip across the Colorado river. He knows the country he is going to- and knows where to find the water. He says the grass is good there, for there are no cattle to eat it down. He knows where there is something worth having and he is going to get it. The best that TIE REPUBLICAN can do is to wish him good luck, as it wishes good luck to all miners, who were the men who first opened up this splendid country, and will yet be the men who will make us the leader,
