A HomesiCk Indian.

ONE of the Indians who recently came
to Lincoln University to receive an edu-
cation left about two weeks ago Tor MS
home in Utah Valley, having become
homesick. He was the nephew OF
chief, and thought he did not receive the
homage which should be paid to SO dis
tinguished parsonage. This was shown
by him more particularly toward Richard
Komas and the other Indian at the uni
yersity. A few days before he left he
became SO indignant that he dressed
himself in all his Indian toggery, put on
war paint, and with knife and revolver
in his belt appeared in the presence
of the faculty of the university, deciar-
ing his intention of setting OH
on foot for his home Id the
West. The officers of the lnstitution'
seeing that he was determined to go, pre-
vailed upon him to wait until the next
morning, when they would SEND nm by
railroad. Accordingly the next morning
Messrs John B. Randall and Edward ID.
Bingham. two of the teachers, accom-
nanied him to Philadelphia and placed
him aboard train bound for Omaha, IN
special charge of the conductor. He had
been given a new name at the university,
that of John j. Patterson. He was quite
an apt scholar, and showed remarkable
ouickness of perception, having mas
tered the alphabet in short time, and
could understand many English words.
He was always respectful to the officers
of the institution, and only got upon his
dignity because his Indian companions
had imbibed too much of our democratic
notions, thereby failing to show him the

town, doing It's stcatsst aamage in the
western and northern portions. Eleven
lives were lost. Miss Bette Sherod,
daughter of John Sherod, living four
miles southwest from here, was killed,

ID. HodgGns, editor OF the Tuscumbia
Chronicle, his wife, and four children;
were killed instantly, and their house
was entirely destroyed. Mrs Judith
Winston was killed by the falling in of
the roof and upper walls of her house
MIR. Martin ID. Patterson was dangerous
ly injured, his house being blown away
Mrs Thomas Gibbs was badly hurt, and

across the street
The railroaa bridge was blown away,
and the eastern-bbund train from Mem
phis, which was due at about 80 o'clock,
was wrecked at the bridge, but no lives
were lost
An appeal for aid has been made, as
follows:
At meeting of the citizens of Tuscumbia,
Ala, at the Court House, on Monday, Nov.
"a. tn. undersigned were appointed a COM
mittee to publish ali address and to make an
appeal to the public with reference to the
terrible calamity which has befallen our com
punity. On Sunday evening; Nov; 81, fear
ful tcrnado passed over eur city, destroying
many houses, and putting to Instant death
number Of our citizens Over one-third of
our town is laid in ruins. The Deshlar Fe-
male Institute, just completed at cost of
some $4,000, the Catholic Church, several
large and elegant brick mansions, and large
number of frame buildings were totally de-
stroyed. Many buildings are also more or
less injured. The air-ground buildings and
two mills were also destroyed. In one house
the parents and four children, composing the
entire family, were instantly killed. The wife
and four children of j. Burns Moore were
buried beneatil the ruins Of his fallen house.
But two of the number, children; were taken
out alive.
The amount of property destroyed is est-
mated at 100000 to Sl50,000. This calamity
has necessarily brought grief great distress,
and destitution upon our community. More
than fifty houses being wrecked, many fam-
lies are homeless and pennless, and need i'm
mediate aid. The citizens will do all in their
posfer to relieve the suffering and needy, but
help is earnestly solicited from abroad, as the
town is so Impoverished 1t eauno, possibly
supply the needed help. God has brought
this desolation upon us, and we confidently
appeal to AL persons throughout the country
TO aid lis III this our hour Of calamity. Dona-
tions from any source viii be Thankfully re-
ceived, and may be forwarded to Joseph Hill
man, Tuscumba, Ala.

valuable mineral deposits was furnished, and
that the lands in that region are undesirable
for.cultivation and settlement by white men.
notwithstanding this, organized parties have
attempted to explore it, and have been at
tackled and rcpulsed by the Indians 1t is
aipprehended that efforts will be made to
induce legislation for the extinguishment Of
the. Indian title to the Black Hills country
and to bring the land into market: II g
hoped, that stich efforts viii, be without ste
cess, because Of the general unfitness OF the
country for settlement, and because any d.
tempt to dispossess the Indians at present of
a region OF country upon which they located
for security against the encroachments of the
white man would meet with violent and de-
resistance.

The Comptroller says: "If Congress should
provide for the withdrawal of legal-tendcr
notes, and the issue of National Bank notes as
needed in place thereof, when the amount of
legal tender notes should be reduced to, say,
$3OO, O,OOO, 600, the legal-tcnder notes would
then be in demand, and in proportion
the demand for them would increase,
until finally, when the amount OF
bank notes issued should be largely in excess
of the amount of legal-tender notes out
standing. the National Bank notes would
themselves be withdrawn at certain seasons
Of the year, on account Of the difficulty or
expense of obtaining lawful money with
country would tnen make its appearance in
answer to the demand for an additional
amount for lawful money, and specie payment
would follow. Redemption in the proper
sense implies the exchange OF promise to
pay for the thing promised, namely: coin, or
its representative, which is convertible into
coin on demand. The effect Of such rcdemp
ton is to confnc banks Of issue to legit-
innate business, which is the discounting of
commercial paper. If banks of issue are
obliged to pay their circulating notes once in
sixty or ninety days, they must discount such
nromissory notes only as will certainly be
paid within that time. If the payment of
bank-notes be frequently demanded, banks
