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
