An Apache Torture,

In the summer Of 1882, when the
Apaches were raidlng the ranches and
haciendas Of southern Arizona, said Thad
II. Motifs, | was a private In Company
X, stationed at Whipple Barracks. The
Indians had caused the department
ceaseless trouble. We we're Kept oh the
march continually, but for two months
we failed to get close enough to them 10
become engaged in n fight. One morn
ing, while we were camped at the base Of
the Chiracon Mountains, n courier came
to the camp bringing the information
that a band Of about 200 renegade bucks
had attacked a small emigrsut train
about ten miles away and had killed the
entire party. We were 500 In Our sad
dies and were riding rapidly towards the
scene. The day was almost insutferably
hot. The sky was not obscuted by a
single cloud aud the sur beat down with
exeruciating tierceness upon the weary
soldiers. When arrived upon the scene
OF tie massacre, we found the bodies ly-
ing about IN the burning sands horribly
mutilated. We had made but a short
stop and had mounted our horses to give
chase to the redskins, when | heard faint
groans. It was some time before we
could locate the place whence the agon-
iEing sound came. Finally we found it.
The Ind ians had skinned one Of the dead
horses and had sewed up a man (whosc
name was +. r. Tarleton from Ohio
tightly in the green hide. His body was
doubled up an the hide was closely tied
around him, We released him as quickly
as we could, and applied ~testotatives
that sooh brought him 20 himself, But
when he gased around at his murdered
family, he drew a knife from his pocket,
and before any one could stop him cut
his throat.
Tying a man up in a green hide was d
hew mode of torture to the soldiers.
They had never seen it before. But l
have since learned that in the early days
of that Territory it was not i%nfrequently
applied by the Chericans as well as the
Apaches,-St, Louis obe-Democrat.

HOME oR1Nx1Na IN ENGLAND.

The announcement is made that the
British Government proposes TO deal with
the very serious and growing evil Of home
drinking by women of the middle and lower
middle classes. The existence of this vice is
due in large measure to granting to retail
grocers licenses for the sale of wines, beer
and spirits. Since this SYSTEM was estab-
lished, about twenty years go, the drink
demon has entered thousands Of decent
households and has stayed there with COM
sequences that are toll almost daily In the
police and divorce courts its victims would
lose caste if seen drinking in taverns or
hotels, lut it is deplorably easy for them 10
arrange with the family grocer to supply an
occasional bottle of wine or spirits and enter
it in the bill as tea or coffee. The thing is
done every day in thousands of homes, and
almost the only way to kill it is 10 abolish
the g~rocer's license, which the Government
is expected to do.-New York Sun

"The p%elicans are found, of course,

then, head down, wings close to theft

H E MENACE TO NATIONAL LIFE.

THE GREAT MENACE TO NATIONAL LIFE.
DR.. Ezra NJ. Hunt, in a series of most val
liable articles upon Race Questions aud
HEALTH and the relations Of alcohol and to-
bacco thereto, writes;
IT statistics did not show a large increase
in the consumption of alcohol, we would be
able to suspect 1t in studying the etiology Of
disease ana the evidence we have of some
worm at the root of the sapling life of the
Nation. We have lived amid the colored
race before aud after and during the war,
and tried from a National point to study its
relation to National force and perpetuity.
We have lived in States passing through the
ordeal OF restricted tavern license, of free
saloon license, of local option, and at last
have seen the saloon in politics, and quite a
part OF the family life OF the people. Aud
we find ourselves compelled to say that from
a physical, social and sanitary point of view,
such as radically effects the proves and per-
petuity of the United States, we regard the
present freedom of license and freedom of
use OF alcoholic beverages as a greater men
ace to race vitality and so TO National life
than slavery ever was. 1t is sustained by
the same greed for INDECENT and easily ac-
quired wealth, IL seeks TO WELD and aggrf.
gate for itself the same bold exercise of
governmental power, it corrupts physically
as well as morally in the same directions,
only that it permeates more generally the
masses, the family social life. Its bondage
Is more general. 1t puts shackies on many
a man and woman or misery, o, lunacy, of
crime, whose clanking is worse than that Of
the slave mart, and has overseers and dealers
as cruel. 1t sells out of homes or burdens
in the homes wives and children, as many as
were ever brought to the block in trading
marts. Ii we could be oblivious to all the
dire results TO individuals, TO minds, TO souls,
to real credit, when we see it seizing upon
the vitals of the body polite and endanger-
ing the Republic in health as we'll as morals
in that race vitality which is Indispensable
TO National existence, we may well resolve
10 let listlessness give way to alarm and
alarm to a steady plan for National remedy.
DR.. Lord tells us that in Rome loss of raos
vitality was the first step toward the down.
