LIGHTNING AND TREES-It cannot be too
often repeated AT this season of the year, when
thunder storms are SO frequent, that one of
the most dangerous places in which to seek
shelter Is under large tree. OF all the per-
sons and animals killed by lightning probably
near trees. Oak trees more frequently than
ally others draw lightning from the clouds,
partly. perhaps, because the close grain of the
oak increases its conducting power, and partly
because the sap of the oak contains large
quantity of iron in solution. which, by i'm
pregnating the wood and bark. has the same
effect. But no tree in this country enjoys the
exemption of the Indian banyan, which, at
least as the HindoOS believe, Is never touched
by lightning. The Pittsburgh Commercial
takes the recent disaster at picnic near that
city as a text from which TO give its readers
some good advice about avoiding trees in
thunder storms, and makes the practical Sug-
gestion that the pr0prietOrS of groves fire.

THE RADICAL GERR YMANDER


No free people were ever before so
hugely defrauded out of their equitable
rights, as the Democrats Of Pcnnsyl-
vania were at the last apportionment
Of tho State, into Senatorial and Rep
resentative districts, by the Radical
leaders. To illustrate still farther what
we mean we quote IRON the Pittsburg
Post, as follows:
"The elections occurring this fall in
the three great States of New York,
Pennsylvania and Indiana, which com
prise within their limits more than
one-fourth the population ofthe Union,
for Congressman and United States
Senators, invite attention TO the in.
famous DISTINGUISHING apportionments
the Republican party, in the insolencc
of its power, imposed on the people Of
these States, in order that the will Of
the people might be defeated by an in
famous legislative juggle. The ap.
portionmcnts in these States for Con.
gressmen and State Legislature are O
stupcndous crime against representa-.
tive government, and show that the
Republican party is animated by pre-.
ciscly the same principles that actu'

with this damaging document she took
the cars and repaired to Butler, the
scene Of the Convention, and the arena
Of contest. Plummer then turned on
Smith, showed him up, and turned the
tide, won an easy victory and is now
the National nominee for Congress.
Plummer denies, however, that Sona.

is manufactured lie. Fer,g refused
to give his name against the Free Pipe
bill, and was then its advocate, MS he
was last winter when he introduced
the Free Pipe bill in the State Senate.
The Bradford Era owes it to the oil
men, and TO Mr.. Fertig as represcn-
tative of the oil interest TO retract the
calumny into which it has been mislod.
Mr.. Plummer is not running on the
same ticket nor same party as Senator
Fcrlig, but he does not wish to see
him calumniated nor misrcpresentcd

sents the idea that he started the sto

The Titusvillc Herald relates the

he did move the indefinite postpone.

Reform IN THE INDIAN
BUREA y.

That the Bureau Of Indian Affairs
is fully aware Of the magnitude Of the
task, and Of the practical details neces-
sary for its success, is shown IN the
report Of 1877.
The immediate steps which the Com
missioner advises as essential prelim-
inaries are, IA code Of laws for the lndi-
an reservations, and arrangements by
which justice can be dispensed These
would seem to be most pressing, since
neither OF them exists today. The
organization, also, OF an Indian police,
composed of Indians under white Off
'cers, is proposed, to preserve order
and enforce the laws. This has been
partially tried, and found success.
In Canada the system has been found
TO work we'll The Commissioner pro-
poses also that farms of a convenient
size should be given the Indians, the
titles TO them, inalienable for twenty
years, being vested in individuals,
while at the same time all possible
means should be taken for fostering
their knowledge OF agriculture and
taste for it.
The Bureau is also aware of the need
of n wise economy in the distribution
of the supplies furnished, guarding at
once against its being wastefully done,
and especially against making paupers
of the recipients, by insisting upon
their giving return Of their labor for
what they receive. The Bureau is also
giving an attention 10 the quality OF
the supplies which this business has
not heretofore received ; it advises,
also, tho classification of the agents,
and is suppresing as possible the abuses
of ncpotism and jobbery which have
crept into the service.
The following circular TO the agents
shows that the Bureau is on the right
track TO reform the abuses OF trade
which have heretofore been the most
fertile source of trouble with the Indi-
ans "Agents will notify agency
traders that in future, when making
purchases from or sales TO Indians,
money only must be used. The use
Of tokens, tickets, or store orders will
not be permitted. They will also call
upon the traders to furnish price lists
OF the principal articles which they
may have for sale }; directing that they
be made in such style as the agents
may indicate as best adapted to be un-
derstood by Indians as well as whites
and that they be posted conspicuously
in such places as may be selected by |
the agents, in order that they may be
readily consulted at any time. A copy
OF such price lists to be forwarded to
this office. Agents are further in
structed to notify this Office of any
cases in which Indians are charged
higher prices than whites for similar
goods"
BY such practical common-sense
measures for the institution OF justice in
our relations with the Indians, the Bu-
reau of Indian Affairs is doing a most
important work in furthering not only
the civilization of the Indians, but our
own Hdrper'S Magazine.

CoRINTH, September 16.-No fever here
yet. We have escaped so far, thanks to a
kind Providence and pretty good quarantine
arrangements. l think we will escape if we
can prevent infected person getting in
among us. Our town has been pretty well
cleaned up and lined, and tar is burned in
different portions almost every night. Very
dusty, with breeze from the north this eve
uipg. Those who were disposed to oppose
quarantine at first think are thankful now
that such thing was done. l think the
Mayor and Aldermen deserve more credit
for the safety measures adopted than some
are or were disposed to award them.

Special to the Appeal
BROWNSVILLE, TENN, September 49,
The outlook is more gloomy to-day-fourteen
new cases and one death. J. w. Lane, pas
tor of the colored M. E. church, who was a
faithful and efficient worker and great helper
of the Towards, died to-day. He was true
man, and died doing his duty. Charlie Old
ham is dying tonight. We are out of ice
and unable to get any. There are ninety
cases on our hands, few improving, and
several not expected to see tomorrow.
When we read the sad death-roll of our
Memphis friends, day by day, and our hearts
are wrung with anguish for your deep woes,
we cannot assuage our own. R. r. 81. Scott
the stricken Howard, is worse tonight, Ut
has every attention. We are preparingzzto
move our people out in the woods and camp
them in bush arbors. We have no tents.
Thus we hope to starve out the pestilence, as
fire dies out, for want of fuel. The more in
telligent colored people are in favor of going
tomorrow, but many object. We hope for
brighter and better days, but experience tells
US that fever stays till frost if there is mate
rial for it to work upon.
