THEIIOiaiORS OF THE EPIDEMIC. from tht Nempkii Appeal The brutality, barbarism and indiffer euce developed by this epidemic standout iu marked contrast with the heroism which has cost us so many lives. Scarce ly a day passes that the community, bow ed in sorrow for so many weeks, is not chained by one or other of these hideons phases of iuhumanity. As if it was not . enough Unit the experiences of the times develop cases of total neglect, which are brought to light wheu the sufferers are jast hope and beyond the reaclMif human aid, we have creatures in the semblance of man who, terrorized out of all reason, . Burrender themselves to demoniacal pas sions and express their fears iu acts that are a disgrace lo our race aud blood. The story which we copy from the Jackson Tribune and Sun to-day, is a case of this sort, aud perhaps one of the .worst that has come under our notice : A little boy, convalescent, sent to Milan;-from Grand Juiictiou by his father, that he migth breache a purer atmosphere aud be out of the way of the horrible bight which an epidemic develops, took possessiou of a log cabin where; during the night, he was beset by a party of fiends who, by firing upon the lonely lit tle chap, compelled Jiim to evacuate and - take to the woods, on the coldent night of tlieseasou. Anything more brutal thau this has not ceme' under our notice. Then there was the case of the fcver-stricken man in the railroad car which was un coupItHllind left on a side-track near the National cemetery, where, but for the ministration of a brave friend and timely aiwistauce from Memphis, he would have died, as the poor fellow did who, left iu a .box car near Steveuson, was beset by a cowardly mob, possessed of only one idea, that of self-preservation. Then we had the cases of the negro men poor fellows, driven forth by a few inhuman persons, some of whom have since died with the fever they thus inhumanly sought to fight oft'. The three victims of their cowardice died miserably by the wayside, giving ev idence by the contortions of their bodies Unft they passedaway in nameless ago nies. Horrible to think of ; such an inci dent six weeks ago would have been scouted as impossible by the very persons who participated in it. Then there is the case- of a poor negro woman who, dying of the fever, was rolled in a blanketand un ceremoniously dumped into a hog-hole by her terror-stricken husband aud kiufolks. Had enough that those who died within - the limits so well served by the Howard Association and Citizens Relief Commit-tee-should some days ago, on account of the waut of laborers and coffins, have had to lie for two and three days, poisoning the air with a nameless stench aud send ing forth couutless billions of spores to feed oh the vitals of the faithful few who havedoue such noble service in battling with the scourge. Had enough that these horrors should exist to appal the living, and help to increase the awful mortality, but when to them we add the wanton in humanity of stoning and shooting at a de fenceless boy of only, ten years, driving helpless fever-stricken patienU from the only shelter they have, aud shaming our common humanity by leaving bodies in hog-holes, Xood for tlie bogs, we are over come with shame for a, brave people who, after enduring air the t rials of a great war, and attesting both their moral and phys ical courage, should have their fair es cutcheon soiled by abrutalisni without parallel. We have already referred to the cases-alas! too many where fathers have deserted their families, and have called attention to the callous neglect of each other by near relatives, who before the. epidemic came to test the strength and sincerity of their affections would have - cojned the possibility of conduct that has secured some few a longer lease of life at the cost of a desertion that hastened the death of others. Only a few days ago we r saw a little child of perhaps three years that had been surrendered to the keeping of one of our nobhf volunteer doctors by . amother wba now fills a nameless rave iu Potter's field. She was an outcast, bad thrown herself away because abandoned by her husband, and finding herself fast sinking from the combined effects of the ' 4 tnost loathsome of diseases and the yellow fever, gave her child to her physician, that it might find the borne and care the cowardly father had denied to her. aud it.. How1, shocking to every sense. . Hearing such things, one wonders if our civiliza tion is really a failure, and we are going back to the days of the London plague, when all the bonds of aocietwere loosen ed, and besides the disease, which carried away so many thousauds, the people of the great capital were the prey of an epi demic of moral cowardice. Were it not for the thousands of cases of heroism, al most olivine jn iheir self-sacrifice, which we witness every : day, such aconclusion would be irresistible. Another case, and we close for' the ' present. Mr. Ben K. Pullen, an old and honored citizen, who is held in the' highest esteem as an up right, honorable man. on Monday , last went out to "Elm wood cemetery, loveliest of the cities of the dead to perform the sad duty of burying his wife, who had died of the fever. It was late, past 5 o'clock in the evening, when the carriage and the Irearse arrived at -the cemetery. There was still three-quarters of an hour to pass defore the hour arrived, when fu neral parties are refused admittance and the laborers suspend work. The man in charge of the cemetery- namedFliun or Edwards, it is not known which came to the spot where the grave was to be dug, with a party of negroes, whom he Inform ed that they would not receive any extra pay for work done after six o'clock, thus trying to prevent them from the work they were there to perform. The negroes, more humane than he, and indignant at such an exhibition of brutality before the husband and children standing beside all that remained to tbera of a good wife and mother, replied that sometimes they worked for friendship. They dug the grave, lowered the casket and had cover ed it out of sight, having almost complet ed their work, when the same "coldblood ed creature, in the hearing of the mourn ing family, and almost in their faces, said: "You have worked after six o'clock, and you shall receive uo pay for it. Hereaf ter no work shall be done after that hour, no matter how many d d carcases are brought here." Powerless to resent an outrage so gross, the father and children passed out and' on to their homes, their grief intensified by an insult that all men must share uutil it is punished as it should be. What a contrast is this td -the" offer ings of life itself by gentle women and bfave men, who come from far. distant States and cities to nurse our sick and try to rescue from the very jaws of death our sorely strickeu people. How black aud hideous such things look by the light of the humanity, courage and teuderness ex hibited toward us by strangers who leave all the endearments of home, the delights of friendship and the pleasures of society to brave the dangers of the plague iu the performance of to them a duty. These horrifying incidents are few ; thank God, very few ; whereas the noble examples of self-sacrifice are so many as to rob even the epidemic of its terrors and lift our race aud name alove the degredation of the inhuman brutes whose si us are after all their own.

AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY: ABSTRACT OF THE SIXTY-SECOND AN NUAL REPORT. , May, 1878. The Managers of the American Bi- - - i ... til- m ble Society express their gratitude, in view of the fact that no one of its con stituted guardians has been removed by death since the last Anniversary. Mention is made of the resignation of Rev. Dr. Holdich. on account of - - . w - - advanced age and feeble health. For twenty nine years he served the So ciety as Corresponding Secretary. Through this long period . his course has been so markett"by christian pru dence, urbanity, integrity, and zeal, as to win- the affection regard and sympathy of all who have been asso ciated with him. Rev. Albert S. Hunt, D.D., of the Methodist Episcopal Church, has been elected as his successor, and entered upon his work at the commencement of this fiscal year. The Hon. La Fayette S. Foster, of Connecticut, and Robert Carter, Esq., of New York, have been elected Vice Presidents. Life Directors constituted, 14; Life Members, 543; new Auxiliaries En rolled, 13. District Superintendents engaged in the Society's work in this country, during the year, 18; County Agents employed at the expense of Auxilia ries, 134; unpaid Volunteer Bible Distributers, 5,556. The receipts for the year were $446, 954.04. Of this amount $206,117.81 were received in payment for books, $30,010.27 from rents, $103,057.71 from legacies, $102,585.99. from dona tions, and $5,182.26 from sundry items. From foreign lands $14,489.54 were received from sales by the Soci ty's agents. The total receipts are less than those of the previous year by $96,625.51. Seven-eighths of this decrease was in legacies. Translations, Progress is reported in the revision of the Jurkisli and other versions, and in the translation of the New Testament into Japanese; and liberal appropriations have been made for printing and circulating these aud other foreign versions. It is a matter of interest to mention the remarkable fact that a firm of na tiveChristian publishers in Japan have expressed a desire to participate in the publication of the Scriptures for their own countrvmen, and have asked and received permission from the board of Managers to issue a pocket edition of the Japanese New lestament, with chapter headings and references, in a sty le, and at a price which will not in terfere with the circulation of the So ciety's edition. That at so early a period in the development of the new life of the nation, such an cxterprise should be undertaken by its own peo ple, is a cause for profound thanks giving and congratulation.

In a short telegraphic dispatch a day or two ago, the death of this gal lant son of the South was announced. He died at his home, near the mouth of the St. -Francis river, Arkansas. He was a native of the State of Ten nessee, but had long made his home in Arkansas, ami his adopted State now mourns his loss even more than his mother State. lie died, it is said, of congestion of the brain. Wheu the Mexican war broke out, General I'illow was 40 years old. He has been practicing law and politics in his native Tennessee ever since his graduation from the Nashville Uni- Lversity in 1827. He had been a mem ber of the Baltimore convention of 1844, and had a large hand in the nomination of, James K. Polk for the presidency. Naturally he had no dif ficultv in obtaining a commission of brigadier-general of volunteers. He was preseut at the seige of Vera Cruz, commanded the right wing at Cerro Gordo, where a lucky wound made him a major-general, and took, part in the battle of Chapultepec, and the action of Molino del Rey. After the fight was over Gen. Scott sent him before a court-martial for disobedience of orders, but he was acquitted. He went back to Tennessee and his- law books. In 1861, a true Southern man, he felt compelled to again buckle on his sword in defense of his country, and he was appointed a major-general, by Jeff Davis, under whom he had served during the Mexican war. His record during the late war was all that a brave, generous, gifted man could make it. His command was almost entirely in the West, and though he fell into some disfavor with the Richmond authorities, n- one ever claimed that it was on account of any lack of ability or integrity. He celebrated his seventy-second birth-day last June, and closed a Vell-spent life full of honors. Char. Observer. Selling Out to the Elevated Railway. A New York letter says there is good reason for stating that one of the most importaut of the horse-car railway companies of that city is ne gotiating with the Metropolitan Ele vated Railroad for a transfer of their entire property to that concern, and that the only obstacle in the way, is an amendment to the charter of the latter, which will enable it to operate a surface road as an adjunct or feeder of the elevator, it is expected this will be removed by the next Legis lature. The motive for the proceed ing on the part of the horse company is the great decline in business since the elevated railways commenced car rying passengers. The latter further states that the movement looks like the initial step towards n grand com bination or monopoly which will have j the wnoie city ai its iuwu. SOCIALISM? IN VTHE REICH--.,:.

Herr Benningsen said he had no fear that Bismarck would allow theanti-social- ist law to be employed to impair the liberties of the people. A VERY REMARK BLE OCCUR RENCE. A certain neighborhood in Fourth ward has been greatly exercised du- ing the last few days over a genuine phenoncmon, which has appeared in that locality. A lady has been suffer ing greatly for two or three 'cars with severe pains in the head and face. At times these pains have been almost unbearable, and were attended with considerable swelling in the upper part of the face. The symptoms were those of neuralgia, and she was ac cordingly treated for that ailment. Not long ago she told some one she believed there was a live bug or worm, or something of the sort iu her head ; that she could feel it move. Of course no attention was paid to this, and apparently she did not attach any importance to it herself. On Tuesday the pains iiher head and face were excruciating, and opiates failed to af ford any relief. The upper portion of her face, especially between the eyes, was swollen to an extent hith erto unknown. Late in the afternoon she blew her nose rather more violent ly than usual, and observed that something of extraordinary size and solidity came out of it, and fell on her dress. She examined it and found a curious looking animal, which was between a half and three-quarters of an inch in length a young cat-fish minus the fins. It was alivv aud kicking, but soon expired. After death it was put in water and brought up town and exhibited to several physi cians, who had never seen anything of the kind before. It was taken in charge by Dr. Battle, who proposes to investigate the matter, in the mean time preserving the animal. The remarkable feature of the whole affair is, that as soon as the curious looking object came out, she was re lieved of all pain, and has suffered none since. The facts herein related are vouch ed for by several neighbors and friends of the lady. She has uo doubt in her mind that the "fish" came out of her head , in fact, is positive in asKirting it did.

Observer. That Apph.--Owv Franklin correftpou k'iit, writing us too late for last week's issue, thus speaks of "that apple:' "I have seen it, Dr. Love-has it, and will send it to our State Fair. It grew at Squire Dauiel Matanee's, on Iola, four miles from Franklin. Here are the facts. 'A grape vine, at least some of its branch es, had been allowed to run on an apple tree. The vine and tree each bear fruit. When the apples were the size of partridge eggs, a tendrill from the vine laid hold of the stem of the apple and soon pushed it off from its parent twig that is, broke it loose from the apple twig. But the ten dril held to it, aud it seems penetrated the apple, when the stem of the apple aud the vine united. Then the remarkable freak began. The apple, now severed from its parent, and less thau an inch in diameter, did not wilt and wither, but continued to grow. The other apples on the tree did likewise, which were nearly white. As the grapes ripened, so did this this this apple. Is it an apple ! Is it a grape f The apple was broken from the tree early in June, taken from the vine about Sept, 13, having, while supported by the vine, in creased from one to three inches in diam ter.' No better proof of the truth of these statements could be had than Mr. Mata nee's mere assertion.' AsheviUc Cittizen. Apphs for the State Fair. Capt.
