Some one has blundered, +"
and there are strong grounds for ascribing
the mismanagement to President Grant
himself. In fit of pique or spite he
degraded General Custer, and we
behold the result in the bloody massacre
near the Little Horn which sends thrill
OF horror through the country.
For the planning of this mismanaged, i'll
starred campaign Custer was not res
ponsible. 1t was at first intended that he
should command it, aud in that case the
details would have been committed to his
discretion and experience. But in an evil
hour the president, acting on an unworthy
impulse, displaced and degraded the
brave Custer, putting him in SO subordinate
a position that the campaign
lost the benefit of his counsel and direc-
ton. The result was laundering anu
disjointed plan of operations; its first
fruit the surprise, lepulse and retreat OF
general Crook and his army; the second
fruit is seen in the scalps of three hundred
and fifteen fallen soldiers dripping with
blood at the belts of Sioux warriors
Some one may have blundered at the Little
Horn; but this was merely one conse
quence of the parent blunder perpetratet
by President Grant when, in fit of un
digniied wrath and petulance, he degrad
ed General Custer after the latter haC
given his testimony in the matter of the
post traderships in obedience to the sub
p9na Of a committee of congress, and ediC

How to Treat sunstroke.

The report Of the sanitary committee of
the board of health of New York city upon
sunstroke says: 'Sunstroke is caused by
excessive heat, and especially if the
weather is ''muggy" 1t is more apt to
occur on the second, third, or fourth day
of heated term than on the first, Loss
ofsleep, worry, excitement, close sleeping
rooms, debility, and abuse of stimulants
predispose. 1t is much more apt to
attack those working in the sun, and es-
pecially between the hours of IL clock in
the morning and clock 10 the afternoon.
On hot days wear thin clothing, have as
cool sleeping rooms as possible. Avoid
loss OF sleep and all unnecessary fatigue.
Ii working in doors and where there is
artificial heat see that the room is well
ventilated.
1T working in the sun wear light hat,
mot black, as it absorbs heat, and put in-
side OF it on the head wet cloth or large
leaf; frequently lift the hat from the head
and see that the cloth is wet. Do not
check perspiration, but drink what water
you need TO keep it up, as perspiration
prevents the body from being Overheated.
Have whenever possible an additional
shade, as thin umbrella when walking, a
canvas or board cover when working in the
sun. When much fatigued do not go to
work, or be excused from work, especially
after II o'clock in the morning on very hot
days, especially if the work is in the sun.
If feeling of fatigue. dizziness, headache
or exhaustion occurs cease work imme-
diately, lie down in shady and cool place,
apply cold cllths to and pour cold water
over head and neck. If any one is over

drinks of water or cold black tea or cold
coffee, If able to swallow. Ii the skin is

A MILD REBUKE.

The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted by the House Committee
on Elections of the United States Con-
gress, relative to the arrangement of Con-
gressional Districts:
RESOLVED, That, in the opinion of this
committee, the several Congressional Dis
tricts of the United States ought to be
composed of contiguous territory, and as
near as may be of equal population; and
whereas it appears that district in the
State of South Carolina is composed OF
counties not contiguous, it is the unani-
nous opinion of this committee that the
Legislature of that State, now in session,
ought to re-district the State in conform
ity with the law now in force.
This is stated to be intended for re-
buke to the South Carolina Legislature,
and if the evil is not corrected by the
present Legislature, the entire delegation
from this State is in danger of displace-
ment, while Hoge is sure to be ousted if
obedience to the law is refused. Neces-
sity may compel justice at the hands Of
our Legislature in the districting of the
State for Congress, if in nothing else.
