. AMONG THESAPACHLS. STUDIES OF SAVAGENRIFESMADE . AMONG CAPTIVE‘HOSTILES. Characteristics of the Chiricahuas—~Ter- sonal Adoranment—Domesticity of the Squaws—The Apache Mead-Dress and Gewgaws—Game of Na-Joose. We have been enjoying a considerable Apachefication of the post. For several months a lot of woman and children, cap- tured by Capta Crawford and Davis, have partakon of the'hospitality of a log-cabin adjoining the guard-house, diluted with sufficient freedom. The youngsters romped outside at will, and the squaws adorned the porch of the round-house daily. They were a rather industrious sot, and turned many a proper peso by weaving handsome bask- ets of bear-grass in the Moqui syle, making moccasins for the soldiers, and constructing toy models of their unique cradles, They wero also given some light work to do around the post, which helped to keep them healthy and happy. When Lieut. Faison arrived with his fifty-eight prisoners from the Sonora surrender the guard-house cap- tives were let out to join them, The whole band wens down to a little arroyo, three- fourths of a mile from the post, and camped amid the sand and rocks Fire-wood and rations were hauled out to them, and they quickly made themselves comfortable, For the first day the improvements comprised only a grubbing of cacti, and the building of semi-circular wind-breaks with bushes, etc. But soon the patient squaws bad achieved a village. The tall stalks of the century plant were peaked over the spaces inclosed by wind-breaks, and around these rude tent-poles wore stretched blankets or umerous rods of unbleached muslin. These roofs were, on an average, about three and one-half feet from the ground. The general effect of each tent reminded one of such an umbrella as our friend lends us oa a rainy da They were elfective, Lowever, in ke z off the wind and sun—which is where they overmatched the umbrella, CHARACTERIST THE CRIRICAHUAS, While the squaws trudged mbout in these pursuits of domesticity the bucks were equally industrious—in gambling. They squatted arcasd blankets spread in the sand, and defuly dealt poonkan (the Mexi- can monte, s.apping down their piays with the peculiar v: nence which you may see as well in a Chicago saloon as in an Apache They gambied tor money, for car for tlankets, and for ponies. Their chips wero sometimes coileo beans, soma- times cartridges, and often neat slivers of bear grass cleverly bundled. A fair share of the day, however, they rested from gam- bling to personal abandonment. Down un- der some wind-warding bush you would stumble upon an athletic warrior carefully painting his face in crimson rings and stripes, or mayhap mollfying his great crop of hair with a fist-sized chunk of mut ton tallow—base barbarian, who has not yet learned the delicacy of civilized refinement in rouge and perfumed lard! The Chiricabuas are a straight, athletic, well-sized tribe, with intelligent features supple bodies, and noticably small hand, and feet. The females, big and little, woas simple print dresses, which reach their ankles The Mother Hubbard style of archi tecture ssems not unpopular among the old women, though eschewed by the young. The rest of the wardrobe comprises high- shanked buckskin moccasins, a bright head. berchief, and bracelets of silver, brass tin- can, and beads, with similarly constitated necklaces and earring: The hmucks, when in fdli dress, wear a print shirt, licen draw ers, moccasins, and a voluminous Gstring The latter in a sine qua non. The drawers may be omitted at wish, but without the Ustring no one can have the entree of the Apache best circies The Apache's realm is essentia dom of cactus, and he cuts according to his thorns Instead of ending at the ankle his foot-gear climbs to within three inches of the knee-pan, whence its sur plus is turned out and down so as to fort a double armor for the shin-bone The most curious adaptation, however, is at the too. Instead of the flat point in vogue with northern and eastern tribes, the prow turns up a couple of inches, and ends in a little rawhide disk of the diameter of a two-bit piece. It is a wonderful protection fron the assassinative stabs of oss desert daggers The bumble moccasin is of the soft buckskin gray; but that of the more aspiring is dyed an attractive yellow by rubbing it with a dry paint APACHE HEAD-DRESS AND ORNAMENTA For a head dress tio Apache rolls a big bandana to a threeinch band, and binds is around his bulging cranium from stem to stern. In prosperity he decks this band with big disks of silver, Around his waist he wears one, two or three webbing bells, full of Uncle Bam's copper sartridges of 43 70 denomination. Dependent from the sides are his buckskin tobacco pouch, an encased awl for moccasin mending, and a Shefleld butcher-knife ic a sheath which swallows all but the very tip of the handle, He further sports earrings—old Napay had two heavy watchebains fastened to his—from two to a aouen necklaces of big beads, a small circu lar mirror, and rings and bracelets till you can't rest.
