They number l'J.i families-, .comprising about Mil individuals. Must attractive m its uatural features is their reservation, ninety miles northeast from '. I'aso. About two fifths of its :7."i,oiri ucres of varied inirfaee is coveted with timber forests, largely pine, which include nuuiirouH ?russy spaces of parks; its plains latuls are covered with griuiu grass, and water is everywhere abundant. I'hene exceptional advantages for titu tarcuttiug, stock raising and farm ine, together with its known rich mineral deposits of gold, silver, cop per and coal, have caused the Mesca lero reservation to be regarded with a covetous eye by wh'tu adventurers, who have long brought a Mroug pres sure to bear at Washington to achieve their aium. It is proposed that the Indian families aad adult males shall receive allotments of 100 acres each, and the remaining 55(1,000 acres bo throwu opeu to aettlomeut as (iovern tuent laud.

For the present the Apaches are likely to retain their vaat huntiuir ground, except, perhaps, that portion of the reservation that is known to be min eral bearing, an area of aliotit 50,010 fccren, which, it is generally believed, will soon be thrown opcu to luiatn nil aettlra. -r HASTINGS THE NOMINEE.

Bravery is a notable a(tribut of man, ami it was discovered it) birds, beast and fishes. I don't claim tb quality for the brute I am about to describe, write a correspondent from theirontier. I believe bravery cannot be 'said to exist in senses devoid o fer. I conceive that au appreciation of danger is a necessary nietistritm to the nobler courage. It is not the mas of dogged indifference I admire ; it u the tnnu who refuses to fly when duty bids him stand, and though he fean death, fears dishonor more. Now, the peccary has no particle ol fear on account of any show of odds, and appears to live only for the pur pose of madly dying when opportunity offers. Tho game cock tig'its with heroic valor, but one sees in his swim ming eyes when gaffed and bleeding in the pit, glancps of regret aud tiaruelcst fear. He shudders out his life be Death his crowing conqueror, aud hit tiny heart, perhaps, swells wit It woe at his last throbs. At least it looks that way to roe.
