Some Ijcautilul eosfoirnoB for Saratoga
or Nf.trport' havn been imported in
boxes, arranged beneath tlio glass to
show the effect when made. Tlieso are
partly of the now Bayontmiso wool in
colors, draped over flounces of cotton
satteen, on which are printed roses and
foliage so admirably done that it is mis
taken for . hand-painting. The basque,
for instance, is tif dark porcelain blue
Bayonnaise, with a vest; of palo blue
satteen, on which is a special design to
represent ' a hand-painted vine of tea
roses. A new white lace outlines the
vest in plnitings, and trims the. neck and
sleeves. The boufl'ant aprou drnpery is
of the Bayonnaise without trimming.
The flounces of the lower skirt, of
which there is a very wido one box
plaited above two narrower ones, are of
the light bluo satteen, with a separate
design of tea-roses, leaves and buds im
printed . on each. Lace edges the
flounces, and a glimpse of the dark bluo
is seen at the foot. Above these flounces
all of the lower skirt that is visible is
shirred in puffs around the skirt. In
the box with this suit is a parasol of the
lightest blue satin, bordered with aroso
wreath, lined with bluo silk, and having
a stick like a fishing-rod. There is also
a fan of tho pale blue, with creamy
roses and sticks of white wood.
Another bit of French coquetry is a red
bettle au inch long of gilt and stone
that is resting on the plaited lace of the
dress front. This single beetle is dis
covered ou other French costumes,
sometimes reposing on the left shoulder,
while on other dresses it is transferred
to the sleeve. Harper's JJtuttr.

SAVED FROM SAVAGES.
Thrilling Artv.-ntnrp Among Ihe Apnche.
Krai-ulng While Women from Ihe Indian
In Arizonn.
During tho brief but memorable war
waged by tho late Apache chief, Vic-
tono, ngninst the white and Mexican
inhabitants of Arizona and New Mexico,
many incidents occurred, which for in
tensity of dramatic interest, have few
parellels in the pages of history or ro
mance. Last summer, a few days after
Yictorio and his pitiless band had
mado ono of their ruthless incursions
upon a settlement near the Maricopa
Wells, on tho Oila road, word reached
Tucson that two white women were
coptives in an Apache camp in the Santa
Cruz mountains, some seventy-five or
eighty miles distant, now the report
was brought I cannot eay. There was
certainly no Termlnr eomniiiriien.tion be
tween the citv and tho camp, by tele
phone or telegraph, mail or express. I
suppose, as is usually the case, the
squaws circulated the rumor, and gave
it such impetus that it was carried to
Tucson, where it was fairly credited,
and it proved to bo true enough. It
made a good deal of excitement in -the
city, and tho general sentiment was that
something ought to bo done to effect
tho rescue "of tho captives. But what
steps should be token no one nt first
seemed capable of suggesting. Tho
force at Cam) Crittenden was small,
and even had it been numerous it
would have availed nothing, because
upon the approach of troops the Indians
would have fled to some of the inacces
sible fastnesses of the mountains, and
perhaps murdered their unhappy pris
oners. The subject was discussed in
all its phases, and every plan proposed
for" the relief of tho unfortunate women
had been rejected as impracticable,
w hen suddenly some one asked:
' Where's Charlie Dupont ? He's the
man we want for an occasion like this.
Ifgjuvy thing possibly can be done
Charlie will do it, aud make no fuss
about it, either."
The suggestion was eagerly caught up
and assented to, and a search was at
once commenced for Charlie Dupont.
Ho was of French extraction, his mother
heiug a woman of the Ancaree tribe,
among whom his sire had trapped, tra
ded and hunted for many years. Charles
was a lemmine-Iooliing young fellow,
whose dark, slender mustache barely re
lieved him 'of the appearance of effemi
nacy, and whose soft, musical voice and
quiet movements betrayed nothing he
roic in his composition, yet ho was re
garded by those who knew him as every
inch a hero a terrible fellow hi a fight
or at a fandango, and one of the most
daring and successful scouts our troops
had ever employed in their warfare
against the scourges of our Territory,
the bloodthirsty Apaches. For months
he had been in almost constant service
as a scout, but was now, for some reason,
spending a few weeks in Tucson. He
was at length found and conducted to
the fonda, where the principal citizens
were still engaged in discussing the
topic of all-absorbing interest. He was
quickly made acquainted with the situa
tion, and was then asked:
" hat do you say, Charlie ? Can von
do anything for these women ?"
' Yes, I think I can," ho replied, de
liberately and contemplatively. " Give
me a good man to go with me, and
w ill see what I can do."
It was not a very difficult matter to
find men willing to accompany him on
ins proposed perilous expedition, so
much reliance was placed on his coin
age, coolness, skill and judgment. He
selected as his companion Billy Tall
man, a reckless sort of fellow when in
Ihe white settlements, but whom a long
and dangerous exponent' as a driver on
tho Tucson and Mesilla stage route had
rendered cool and wary when among
the haunts ot the savages, lie was
man totally different from Dupont in
manners and personal appearance, but,
like mm, would " do to tie to under
any circumstances and amid any sur
roundings peculiar to an unsettled com
mniiitv.
In a very short time tho two adven
turers were equipped and mounted for
tneu enterprise. uood horses were
placed at their disposal. Armed .vith
their trusty Spencer carbines and Colt's
revolver, and provided with a small
quantity of provisions, and having as
certiuned as nearly as might be tho lo
cation of tho camp they proposed to
visit, they sprang to their saddles and
were soon riding rapidly across t'.io
mesa, threading then- wav among tho
cacti, and pursuing as straight a course
toward their destination as the nature of
the ground permitted! Their horses
were fresh and they kept steadily to
their work.cnlivening their way with song
and jest, or with serious conversation
concerning tho delicate and important
mission they had undertaken. It was
scarcely noon when thev started, and by
nightfall they had covered move than
hulf the distance thrv had to traverse
riien, as their steeds showed signs of
weariness, they halted, picketed the
animals, ate a frugal meal, wrapped
their scrapas about them, lay down upon
tne ground, ana were howled to sleei;
by the shrill voices of scores of hungry
n a votes.
After a refreshing slumber, in spite of
the cowardly beasts which dared not ap
proach within effective shooting dis
tance by tho starlight, the two adven
tiirej-s wore awake and alert with tho
early dawn, and, having breakfasted
saddled their horses and proceeded ou
their way. Toward noon they began to
ascend the mountain slopes, when their
progress became slower and more toil
some. They were now approaching the
camp oi wmcn iney were in quest, but
ot its location they knew nothing accu
rately, and must trust to luck and acci
dent to reveal to them its whereabouts,
lhey now proceeded more carefully
keeping their eves well about them, (lis-
coursing only iu whispers, and favoring
ineir norses iy selecting tlio easiest
grades and smoothest ground for the
ascent of the mountain. Fortune favored
them, as she sometimes, not. ulwavs.
favors the brave. Having reached a con
siderable elevation, they were making
their way through a wooded dell when
they came upon a half-naked savage,
who, after a hasty observation of the
intiuders, turned and ran directly from
them, waking the echoes with his idioms,
evidently intending to alarm tho camp
" What shall we do ?" said Tallman
' " Follow him close." replied Dunont.
and giving their horses the spur they
ran the fleeing redskin into the camp,

which mrneu out in coniusion to ascer
tain the cause of the uproar. But few
mules mado their appearance, how
ever, and those mostly old and decrepit,
while a considerable number of squaw-
ana children were seen scampering
toward the rocks and timber. A few
shots from their carbines scattered the
lilies, and then, -seeing a.. group, of
squaws hastening toward a ledge of
rocks on the upper bide of the dell, they
turned their horses heads m thatdtroc
tion and dashed among thjeni. Their
boldness Was rewarded by finding in
this group the womcn-of whom they were
in search one an American and the
other a Mexican, and both, notwith
standing the grief and anxiety depicted
upon their countenances, fair to see.
The hags who had thom in charge were
loth to lot them go, but our heroes,
dismounting, swung tho captives, by
main force, to tho saddles, and then,
springing on behind them, began their
retreat.
This was a much moro difficult feat
than the advance, for the Indians who
had'at flrst supposed they were assailed
by a detachment of troops, now dis
covered that their assailants were but
two in number, and were rallying to cut
off their retreat. A running fight en
sued, in which the deadly accuracy of
tho carbines told to good advantage,
while, on the other hand, the nature of
the ground gave the savages opportuni
ties for ambuscades w hich they were not
slow to improve. Only the proverbial
cowardice of tho Apaches saved nlivo
our heroes and their precious charges,
exnosed as thev wero to assaults from
every side, unable to urge their jaded
and over-weighted norses to any satis
factory degree of speed. Tho fleet
footed savages were easily able to keep
up with them and harass them from
behind trees, rocks and bushes with a
rapid discharge of both arrows and fire
arms, tho number of their warriors hav
ing evidently received an accession,
while the'squaws and children kept up
an infernal uproar of hoots and yells.
Dupont's horse got an arrow iu his
shoulder, which rendered him almost
unmanageable, and Mrs. Benedict, the
American lady, who occupied Tallman's
saddle, received a bullet-wound in the
fleshy part of her arm. . As soon, there
fore, as they reached a convenient spot,
tho little party stood at bay, and
tho fight began in earnest. Tho rapid
ity of the carbine tiro soon partially si
lenced tho volleys of the Indians, who
now skulked under shelter and watched
their opportunities; but every time one of
them raised his head it attracted a bullet,
and it is almost certain that several of
them were converted into good Indians
by the gospel of lead. It looked that
way to our heroes, who, although they
had no way of ascertaining tho tact, ten
sure that some of their shots were cnect-
ive by tho evident consternation of the
enemy and the fact that with each vol
ley they became more cautious and re
tiring, and at last withdrew from the
hold, when our friends lost no time m
getting down from the mountains and
putting a good piece of ground between
themselves and the redskins.
Their camp that night was carefully
chosen and strictly guarded, but they
suffered no further molestation, and in
ilue time arrived m Tuscon with the
rescued captives, who wero received
with the active and cordial sympathy
which grows only on the wild soil of
the Western Territories aud Pacific
States. It was found impossible, how
ever, to restore them to their friends,
for these, alas ! had been murdered by
the Indians, airs. Benedict was, at her
own request, sent to California; Senora
liiviera remained in Tuseon ond was in
due time married to an American in re
spectable standing. As for Charlie Du
pont and Billy I oilman, the bovs ap
plauded them; and that, beyond their
consciousness of having done a good
and bravo thing, was the extent of their
reward. And, doubtless, if necessary,
they would undertake a similar adven
ture upon the same terms. Ciwinnuti

A Fight Between Stallions,
Lady Florence Dixie, whose work
" Across Patagonia," has attracted con
siderable attention, rode in man fashion
in that country, and apparently for that
reason was able to follow game for
hours, to throw herself from her horse,
and otherwise conduct herself like the
men of tho party. Headers of Beer
bohm's book will remember tho exciting
description of tho contest between a
tame and a wild stallion. Lady Flor
ence saw such a sight, the interest be
ing deepened bv the fact that the wild
stallion very nearly succeeded in driving
oil all their mares to add to his own.
"We aro lost," cried the guides, sim
ultaneously; and, filled with dismay, wo
all stood still, perlectly parulvzcd at
the thought of tlio position we should
be m without horses .'10(1 miles away
from Sandy Point; but at this moment
Gregorio's big bay stallion, the master
of the troop, rushed out to meet the
enemy, both halting when they met,
and fronting one another. Tho two
animals, after pawing the air for a second
or two, mado a dash at one another and
engaged in a fierce combat, earned on
chiefly with their teeth, though occasion
ally thev would rise on their hind legs
and fi-,'ht with their fore feet. Our
horses, not daring to stir, watched them
on one side, and tho wild herd, which
had meanwhile trotted up close
to tho field of battle, looked on from
the other side, apparently deeply inter
ested in tho issuo ot the struggle. '
We had to run a good distance before
we could get to firmer ground, and in
tho meantime the battle went against
our stallion, who suddenly turned tail
and fled. After giving him a parting
kick tho wild horse rushed at our troop
and began to drive them at a gallop
toward his own, punishing with vicious
bites and kicks any animal that showed
signs of becoming refractory, or that
did not go quick enough.
How They Fixed It.
Young widows are not generally averse
to theater-going, neither was Madam 1).,
a resident of Hue do Faubourg, St. Ho-
nore at Paris, when, the other day, the
postman brouaht her ua envelope with
two stall tickets one for her the other
for her little son for the representation
of a new and fashionable piece at a well-
known playhouse. Upon the paper,
stamped with a count's coronet, she
found the mysterious words: " Bo
punctual. My' seat is just behind
yours." Was there any ono of tho visit
ors of tho building more punctual for
tho opening accords of the overture than
she? Not even her generous anonymous
had learnt the act of punctuality so well
as she tho seat behind her was empty
and remained so. There she sut, wait
ing for the interesting acquaintance she
had hoped to meet. Many a time the
door of the stall was opened, but that
seat behind hers remained unoccupied
for a long, long time. At last Madam
D. lost patience, and considering her
belf neglected most outrageously, left
the theater. She drove home directly,
and oh horror! found the door of her
dwelling open, her jiresses and safes
forced open and emptied of every object
worth carrying off. She concluded that
her anonymous friend had, after all, been
punctual to his appointment, and vowed
she would never again accept of tickets
from a stranger. f(tri Letnr.

He Didn't " Bunko."
Tho bunko men who sat down in De
troit six weeks ago to make their pile
have had a hard time of it, and must be
about ready to leave. Fact is, the game
is too old to work on our citizens, and
strangers who reach here are generally
pretty well posted on all sorts of games
to deceive. The other day there was a
dreadfully innocent-looking larmer
doing a little trading at a Woodward
avenue harness store, when one of the
bunko stcerers got after him for a sheep-
head. After following the stranger long
enough to learn his name and place of
residence, he suddenly confronted him
on the corner with:
"Hello! Mister Smith! Well,
well !"
" You've got the start of me," said the
old man as he looked bunko over.
" But I know von. Y'ou live just out
side the corporation limits of Blank-
ville, and have got oneof the best farms
in the county."
"Yes, that's so, and who be you?"
"I am a brother of the postmaster."
"Is that soV"
"Yes, and I've seen you in tho post-
oflico a hundred times, now are all the
folks?"
"All well, I believe."
The farmer not only knew what bunko
was, but his son was postmaster at
Blankvillc. Nevertheless he asked:
" Seen your brother latelv '!"

" Yes."
" Well, I ha ! ha ! I'm a great lover
of early pears, and I was there about
that time."
" Say, I'd like to speak lo you," said
tho farmer as he looked up and down
the street.
" Certainly. Then we'll have a glass
of beer together and I'll show you
around town.
Tho two walked up Congress street to
Bates, and half-way down Bates to
Lamed, and then the farmer reached
for tho collar of the bunko chap and
said:
" When I found them pears gone
swore I'd lick tho thief if I had to live
a hundred years to do it !"
"But I I!"
"Stole my pears, did you robbed
my pet trees, eh ! " growled the farmer
as ho slammed the young man around.
"No! no! never !"
" Lying won't help you a bit !" mut
tered the old man, aud he put on steam
and cracked the boys heels together
slammed him against a brick wall and
flung him on a snow-heap with only
breath enough left in his body to agitate
a feather, while his store clothes were a
sad sight to see.
" Ho stole mv airly pears last fall,'
explained the old man as several persons
came running up, " and it l nadn t got
the worth of 'em back I'll have to wait
till some other time. He'll como to
directly, and if he feels liketalkin' he'll
give you all the little particulars !"
But when bunko was helped to hi

such a hurry to get somewhere that he
wouldn't stop to dig the snow out of his

Story ot a Picture.
Richard Gibbs, ex-minister to Peru
from the United States, narrates the
following anecdote: At the centennial
exhibition Gibbs was greatly attracted
by the picture of " Yankee Doodle."
It pleased him so much that ho bought
a chromo of it and took it with him
Peru. He arrived home in time to keep
"open houso" on the Fourth of July
and this picture was the center of at
traction throughout the entire day. Tho
heart of every Amorican who looked
upon it was stirred to the very depths,
and some of them actually shed tears,
Many of them were not satisfied with
one look, but returned again and again
to gaze upon this pictured semblance
which aroused all their patriotism and
lovo of country. One man, an Amen
can, au uttache of the government, came
back -lato in the evening and askoi
permission to look once more upon tho
picture, saying he believea it won!
cure him of home-sickness. Ho gazed
at it long and et resf y, and he parted
with streaming eyes aua trembling lips
The news came in the morning that this
man had died daring the night, far from
homo and kindred, with nothing but
the memory of this picture to comfort

Bashing It Off.
The first and most prevalent miscon
ception of tyros is, that an article or a
poem, to be brilliant, must be "dashed
off." They have heard, of course, that
Johnson wroto "Basselas" in a week ;
that Byron was only thirteen days over
"The Corsair ;" that Scott was scarcely
double that time in writing a volume of
" Waverley ;" and that Burns composed
" Tarn o' Shantcr" between dinner and
tea. But they forget that before these
tasks wero accomplished Johnson had
composed ond published what would fill
volumes ; Byron had already spent the
best of liis years in the constant practice
of his pen ; Scott had edited the Border
ballads, the works of Swift and Drydon,
and written the greatest of his poems ;
and that Burns was as expert and prac
ticed in verso making as a long experi
ence in the art could possibly make even
him. Apart altogether from the ques
tion of the super-eminent genius of all
these men, they did not attain to this
degree of literary celerity oil at once.
Thev did not jump into it as a man
may get into a suit of clothes. It was
in each case the result of the unwea
ried practice of their art. There have
been instances, such as that of the poet
Campbell, where the genius ripened
early and where tho first work was the
best, but this is very rare even in the
ranks of genius. The rule in these
ranks has rather been on the side of un
mitigated labor in correcting and per
fecting their compositions. Many of
them, such as Gibbon, wote and re
wroto the first of their productions
three or four times over; and after all,
when they saw their work in print, have
been known to declare that they thought
they could still improve it were they to
write it over vet again ! It may bo
taken, therefore, as a fundamental rule
in the attainment of literary excellence
to spare no labor in perfecting and pol
ishing and to leave no word or sentence
or passage unimproved that still seems
to admit ot improvement. Attention to
this would save many a young writer
some of his bitterest disappointments.

A "marplot" is a blundering, srood-

bungling whatever he interferes wilh.
Marplot " is a character in two como-

" One thing at a time " was the fa

asked how he was able to dispatch that
multitude of affairs in which lie was en
gaged, ho replied that his whole art
consisted in doing one thing ut a time.
Yon Don't Know Their Vnlne."
They cured mo of Akuo, liilionsucsa and Kid
ney Complaint, as recommended. 1 had a half
bo'ttlo left which 1 iiaed for my two littlo givlft,
whom tho doctors and noililmin enid could not
bo cured. I am confident 1 should have lost
both of them ono niplit if 1 had not had the Hop
Hitters iu my luitmo to use. I found they did
them so much good I continued with them, and
they aro now well. This is why 1 say yon do
not know half tho vahio of Hop Bitters, and do
not recommend them highly enough. B.,
