FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 8. 1883.
Ne Weed Season for It.
The Legislature's ten days adjourii adjeurii
ment has no geed reason te sustain it.
In ten days all the apportionment bills
should be passed. The members expect
te draw ten dollars a day for their ser
vices, whether they labor or take a holi
day. If that is a just expectation, we
see nothing te prevent them from col
lecting ten dollars a day for the remain
der of their two years term of office, if
they de net desire te adjourn sine die
during that time. The law gives them
a ten dollars per diem at each adjourned
or special session." One thousand dol
lars are allowed " for each regular and
each adieurned annual session net ex
ceeding one hundred days, and ten dol
lars per diem tot time necessarily spent
after the expiration of the hundred
days, provided that such place shall net
exceed fifty days at any one session."
This limits the period of the regular
and adjourned annual pessiens, for
which payment will be made, te one
hundred and fifty days ; but there dee3
net seem te be any such limit put upon
a special ses3ien or an adjourned session
that is net the " adjourned annual ''
one. But it is net reasonable that the
members of the Legislature should be
paid their per diem when they stand
adjourned for a week or mere ; and
if it be that when called in special ses
sion they can sit indefinitely they should
net be paid if they de net stick te their
work. It would seem that the stale
treasurer could justifiably refuse te pay
them ter the days dtiriug which they
stand adjourned. Neither of the two
bodies can adjourn for mere than three
days without the assent of the ether,
and the line could properly be drawn at
a three days adjournment ; se much of
relaxation per week has been claimed
had allowed te the members, te enable
them te attend te their private affairs
and comfort their families. But surely
that liberality en the part of the state is
sufficient ; and when the legisiateis tin
derlnkc te abandon their duty for ten
days thuv should at least have the grace
net te claim their per diem.
Seme of the Republican newspapers
seem te think that it was a great en or
en the part of the governor te call the
extra session at this limn, instead of
allowing the meeting of the Legislature
te go ever until the cool weather and
after the fall eleciiens. The governor's
duty and responsibility weie te immedi
ately summon the Legislature and direct
its attention te the duty imposed by the
constitution which it had foiled te per
form and te exhaust his legal peweis te
have it done. That lie has done, and
none tee promptly. Having done se it
rests with tie members et the Legisla
ture te decide hew they will pet form t lHr
part. If they think they can afford te
face their constituents after voting te
adjourn until next winter, with or with
out pay in the iulciim, they can take
that course, but they had no right te
expect the governor te sliaie any
such lespeusibility with them. Ev
idently Cooper and his associ
ate Stalwarts thought that it
would be geed policy te get ever the
fall elections without having made an
apportionment and te go through the
campaign with a hullabaloo about the
expense of an extra session called by a
Democratic governor. The governor's
party nipped that scheme in the
bud by promptly voting te go en with
the business of the session after a brh f
breathing spell. When they meet again
the members c.in settle this whole bttsi
ness in ten days. The Independents
pretend te be willing te de the fair
thing ; and the Democrats have shown
a disposition te go two-thirds of the way
te meet them. In view of this there i
no geed reason why we should net haw
the apportionments and a rest for the
legislative jaw by the first of July. Then
the Fourth could b.i celebrated with
added thankfulness.
The Committee of One Hundred in
Philadelphia is a pulisi'i republican
association, organized en that avowed
basis, intended te work within itti own
party and te elect II 'publicans te ellke,
except when it cannot find honest men
of that party or cannot, elect them with
out the aid of Democratic combinations
A recollection of this fact is always tin
pertant in estimating the significance et
the committee's delivciances. When,
therefore, it makes proclamation that
the present Legislature one Heu;e
Democratic and the Democrats of the
ether furnishing nearly feur-filths
of the votes that passed Hie
best legislation of the session
has enacted measures recommended
by the committee which failed te pass
previous Republican Legislatures and
which will save Philadelphia ever S300,
000 per year, it vindicates the sincerity
of Democratic reform in a most re
markable degree. The present Legisla
ture has net been te Chairman Cooper's
liking at all. scarcely a measure of
general importance and value that has
passed it failed te encounter the oppesi
tien of his party, led by him in the Sen
ate. It is het weather new, but it will
be cold enough for Cooper and his fel
lows when the ides and the accounting
of November come.
m
If the Legislature does net knew what
it has been called together te de, ic will
net be because it has net been plainly
told by the gSverner. The business. con
tided te it is of but one character ; there
is nothing at all te distract the attention
of the members from the consideration
of the apportionment bills, unless it be
the question as te whether they can
provide the money necessary te pay their
per diem and expenses, and hew
many holidays they can manage te
get during the session at full pay. They
need te be cirdumspect. The governor
lias steed them up before the people, in
a corner, just as naughty children are
steed up in a school. They have their
task given them, which when they have
done they can go home. And there is no
use in kicking against it ; for if they run
away without doing it they will be
thrashed when they get home te their in- j
dignant people.
The .Beading 2Y'ms 'represent that
" the unanimous desire of Republicans
and Democrats alike in Berks county, is
that Berks may be continued as a dis
tinct district for congressional, senato
rial and judicial purposes." We can
easily understand this, but the local
desire en the subject is net the only con
sideration te be weighed. We believe
that there is no disposition te join any
ether territory with Berks except for
congressional apportionment ; and it is
no hardship nor injustice te Berks that
Lebanon be added te it for this purpose.
Berks is considerably below the ratio of
a congressional district in population
and has less than Schuylkill or Luzerne,
neither of which is contemplated te be
formed into a separate district by any
proposed plan of apportionment. The
Berks county Democrats should net
object te taking under wing their Leba
non brethren, who have been out in the
cold se long. Berks is big and should be
magnanimous.
The governor's message convening
the Legislature, net having stated as
one of its objects the passage of an ap-,
propriatien bill for its expenses, the
question was raised whether it has such
power. It is concluded that the power
exists because it is a necessary in
cident te its session ; but the appropria
tion must be only for the necessary cost
et the session ; and there will be geed
ground for denying that ten dollars per
day per member for a ten days adjourn
ment is such a necessary expenditure.

A contention for the Custody or a Child.
In Reading Thursday afternoon a man
was seen running en the crowded sidewalk
followed by a well dressed lady crying
frantically, " My child, my child." A
dense throng seen collected, and several
officers started in pursuit. The man
coely warned the officers net te interfere
as he was the father of the child.The facts
in the case are as fellows : Mrs. Dr. Jas.
Y. Shearer, of Sinking Spring, came te
Reading in company with her little daugh
tcr and entered the store of Mrs. Addlade,
milliner, Ne. G58 Penn street. While
standing near the entrance Samuel Barte
suddenly darted into the store and made
for the child whose name is Emma. She
is a bright and vivacious girl, nearly six
years of age and is remarkably handsome.
He grabbed the child under his arm and
lanoutef the deer befere Mrs. Shearer
could fully take in the situation. When
she recovered from her surprise
she darted after the child. Barte
is the father of the little girl, and
Mrs. Shearer was formerly his wife, but
applied for a divorce and a year age was
married te Dr. Shearer, a physician of
large practice, and who is a brother of
Hen. E. H. Shearer, state senator. When
the police officers called at the store Mrs.
Shearer was in tears, but the officers
declared that they could de nothing with
out a warrant. Barte disappeared through
the crowd and it was net known
whither he had pone. Mrs. Shearer
repaired te the law effie of B. Y. Shearer
esq., a brother-in-law, and legal proceed
ings were at once commenced te obtain
possession of the child. Meanwhile Barte
took the little girl te the residence of Gen.
Themas Barte, his father, formerly sheriff.
The latter condemned his son's actions
and after the child had been caressed for
some time by its father the latter con
eluded it would be well te consult the
district attorney. Barte called upon
Sheriff Gerbart with the child and surren
dered it. The sheriff then delivered it te
he mother. Barte has been contesting
for the possession of the child for a long
time.

While the boulevard from McComb's
Dam bridge read te the park was crowded
with all kinds of pleasure equipages about
7 o'clock Tuesday evening, great excite
ment was produced in the vicinity of One
Hundred and Fortieth street by a frantic
cry of "Clear the track ! A ruuaway !
Drive en the side-walks !" A man in a
light read wagon was driving his herse
toward the park en a run and screaming
this warning te the drivers in the street.
Behind him, in the middle of the bread
thoroughfare, a powerful roan horse was
dashing madly down the street, drawing a
top buggy, which swayed from side te
side, while a little girl of 13 years clung
desperately te the lines, with white face
and streaming hair. Everybody gave the
runaway vehicle a wide berth. Men in
light wagons whipped their heiscs franti
cally upon the sidewalk, coachmen drove
their carriages hurriedly te the side of the
read, ladies and gentlemen en horsebaek
galloped wildly te the fences, and although
sympathetic women -in their carriages
screamed and men turned pale, no ene
made the slightest effort te assist the child
who, without looking te the right or lefc,
was screaming : "Oh, won't somebody
save me ! Oh, somebody step him ! What
shall I de ! Oh, what shall I de !"
A quiet-looking man iu a clerical frock
coat, who was meditatively driving a large
"buckskin" horse bafore a light read
wagon toward the city, heard the warning
cry of the man who was trying te clear
the read, and looked areuud just as the
roan horse, en a frantic run, was passing
One Hundred and Twenty-ninth street,
and all the vehicles wero crowding te the
left hand side of the read. The quiet
man, without a moment's hesitation, put
his horse, which was a fast one, te his
speed, and drove swiftly baside the runa
way steed.
" Don't be afraid I" he called coolly te
the child, who clung te the lines like a
little hereine. " New, de just as I tell
you ! Hang en te the Hues, and pull
most en the left, and when I tell you te
jump de it. Will you mind what I say ? '
" Yes," answered tholittle girl ; " hut
save me, eh save me, if you can !"
The quiet man gave the buckskin herse
a cut wi(h his whip, and the animal broke
into a gallop and brought the scat of his
master's wagon even with the runaway
horse's head. Then the man quickly
wound his lines about his right hand and
with the left seized the runaway borse's
bridle. The frantic bjast plunged and
jerked his head away, almost dragging the
man from his seat, and dashed en, the
man losing his hat and whip. But he at
ence drove alengside the horse's
head again, and again seized the
bridle, which was again tern away from
him. He dreve up again aud made a third
attempt, and met a like failure. " Don't
give up," he called te the child, who was
losing ceurage and crying ; " just hang en
te the lines." Then, in very vigorous
language, he oxhertod some of the horse
men whom they wero Hying past te come
te his assistance, but no ene responded.
The two animals in this time had run
down te Oue Hundred aud Twenty-eighth
street, and between Oae Hundred and
Twenty-fifth and One Hundred aud T wen
ty sixth streets lies aheap of stone, mortar,
and bricks, wliere a building is in process
of construction and toward this jagged
pile the quiet man, whj win still driving
beside and encouraging the girl, saw that
the runaway herse was headed, and knew
that he must wake a final ell rt te step
the animal at ence. He dreve up beside
the head of the blast again, seized the
bridle, dropped his lines, and calling te
his own herse te step, he sprang te the
ground, dragging tha runaway her.u's
head with him, and after a sharp struggle
brought the brute te a stand still and took
the child, who was almost tainting, from
the buggy.
The little girl said that her father, who
had been driving with her, had been iuu
ever at One Hundied and Thirty-sixth
street, and that the hers 3 had run from
there, a distance of meic than a mile. The
quiet man drove back te leek for the
father, and met him driving down iu a
grocery waeeu te leek for his child, whom
he expected te find dead or dying in tint
read. He was net very badly hurt, lie
is Mr. Samuel Browning, of Ne.
235 West Fifty Seventh street. He
said that he stepped iu the read
te check up his horse and gave his
little girl the reins. Seme ether horses
came up behind and startled the animal,
and it belted. He clung te its head and
was dragged a block, when the beast get
away and the wheel of the buggy went
ever his own leg. The quiet man dreve
them both home, but declined absolutely
te say who he was. His name is very well
known in New Yerk, however, for the
little girl's rescuer wai noue ether than
the famous " Billy " McGlery, who is a
fine horseman, and whose previous train
ing has been calculated te give him the
nerve and courage he displayed te se geed
effect.

. There have been a number of recent
publications referring te the alleged inter
ference of Senater Legan, in behalf of
some of his friends or relatives with the de
sires of the Zunis te extend their reservation
The following concise but lucid account of
the matter is taken from a recent number
of the Philadelphia Ledger and relates the
whole story. It will be remembered that
when young Cushing first came East
with his Zunis an account of them ap
peared in the Intelligencer in some
special Washington correspondence te this
journal. Since then they have been fully
written up in the Century and ether pe
riodicals. The sketch also gains special
interest from the fact that Mr. Cushing's
father is temporarily a resident of Lancas
ter, being associated with the enterprise
of preparing the new history of the county
which Philadelphia publishers have under
way. The Ledger article is as fellows :
The ancient and se far as appears
honorable tribe of the Zunis, Pueblo
Indians, have a reservation in New
Mexico, net far from Fert Wingate. It is
an arid country, a red and yellow sand
plain, encircled by a rock wall and sand
hills. Frem the north ene slender water
course winds its way, as has been said,
" like a long whip lash " ever the plains.
The Zunis are farmers, and possess a geed
measure of aboriginal civilization,
dwelling in clay built houses in the midst
of gardens, with the sheep, piss, chickens
and donkeys of a western ranch. The
tribe, besides being a peaceful aud indus.
trieus people, possesses such interesting
traditions and customs that the Smithso
nian institution in 1879 sent out a special
agent, Mr. Frank Cushing, te study and
report ou them as a typical tribe of these
Indians whose homes, either as cliff
dwellers or mason-built houses, are evi
dences of fixed homes of these ancient
people, in contrast te the nomad tribes.
The Smithsonian envoy has since become
an adopted citizen of the Zuni tribe, and
hasbeeu able te make record of many
interesting ceremonials and customs, some
of which have much value in illustrating
the early history of America and in the
comparative record of religious rites.
Frem the location of their lands, it will
de seen new important te these ludians is
the one stream which waters their ether
wise waterless territory. Last winter a
land claim was located areuud the Nutria
springs, which springs are the source of
that one, and the establishment, as was
proposed, of a great cattle ranch there,
would have certainly cut them off. If
this had occurred in the neighborhood of
any ether tribe, which had net naturalized
a white man and penman among thorn,
possibly the whole matter would have
been settled, the land claim granted and
the stream cut off, bofero auy ether result
thau an Indian "outbreak" gave notice of
trouble. Possibly the new "rancho" at
at the springs might have been raided by
the "savages" as the quickest way of
calling attention te their parched fields
and cut off rights. The president's atten
tien was called, howevor, te the interfer
ence with the Zunis this land claim would
cause, and te the fact that only by an
oversight these springs were net included
in the Zuni reservation. The president
acted most promptly and justly iu the
matter. The ceveted lauds were with
drawn from settlement and a water famine
aud ruin no longer threaten the tribe.
It was a friend of Senater Legan's that
took up the land, and the senator appears
net te ba altogether grateful te Mr Cash
iug for pointing out this danger of com
nutting an injustice upon a simple and
peaceful people, but is inclined te take the
war path instead. While denying that he
had any such intention en a late visit te
Zuni, or any ether connection with the
proposed cattle ranch, he distinctly states
that these Indians have tee much laud, in
his epiniuu, and geas out of his way te
attack the " White Zuni," Mr. dishing,
and te ofler him his " contempt." Frem
this we gather that iu some way the shoe
did pinch the senatorial feet, aud that the
project, though net immediately pursued,
came sufficiently near home. Se far as
Mr. Cushiug is concerned, his connection
with the Zuni tribe has no doubt been a
benefit te them, iu establishing their
claims.
Theie was a considerable paiade of the
small contingent of thesj ludians that was
carried for exhibition purposes all the
way te Bosten te reach the sea, when they
might have struck the Atlantic waters
much nearer New Mexico, say at Galves
ton, or if need was te front the eastem
suurise, uet far from the city of Wash
ingteuitself. Hew much of reverenca and
hew much of sham there is iu the adoption
of Zuni religious ceremonials by this ar
dent envoy of the Smithsonian, and hew
far such adoption imposes en Zuni confi
dence, it would net ba easy te learn. Like
all ethor enthusiastic explorers, Mr. Cush
ing has been content te take some risks,
and it his joint perfermancas with the
old chief and soothsayers ever the prayer
feathers and ether symbols seem te be
mere exhibition for the sake of winning
tribal secrets, there is still nothing te pre
vent in him an enlightened curiosity and
even respect for this remnant of an early
people perhaps an aboriginal line, per
haps the " first poeplo" in America.
Senater Legan's estimate of the Zuni
remuant is very far removed from the
lately published narrative of their adopted
son ; nut as the seuater claims eulv te
have stepped for a brief period, say ,l te
lunch" going and returning, lie is hardly
a capable judge of their manners or even
feed, which may have been scant at the
season of his visit. But for the conclusive
exposure of the Nutria springs arrange
ment, it would seen have been scanter
still. It is evident that the kind of Indian
agent that is wanted te keep the govern
ment from doing unintended injustice is
the same as the Zunis have among them.
Hew would it have fared with them had
there been no Cushing ?

Reading dispatch te the Times.
The story of Jehn Henuse, who turned
up in this city a day or two age after an
absence of 25 years, is in many respects
highly interestine and remarkable. When
he disappeared Henuse had a wife and
several children, the youngest of whom,
Mary, then three months of age, is new
married te a well-to-de Penn street mer
chant, Augustus Helland. Jlrs. Henuse
heard nothing of her husband until seen
after the late war had begun, when she
received a letter announcing that he had
been conscripted into the rebel army.
Nothing mere was heard from him and
the husband and father was mourned as
dead.
On Tuesday a bronzed and weather weathor woather
beaten man of 05 registered at the Berks
county house. He were long hair that
fell upon his shoulders in curls and his
ears were adorned wiih geld rings. His
autograph in the register read : "Jehn
Hangus, Achicklc, Ya." It was the same
Jehn who disappeared a quarter of a
centnry age, seized with a leuring te ence
mero see his wife and children. He learned
that they were still living, his wife beiii"
comfortably located at 232 Seuth Ninth
street and his children married. The
meeting botweon the long separated
couple was net a gushing ene. Thern were
no tears or joy and no clinging in fend
embrace, but nevortheless the prodigal
husband was cordially groetod when he
had established his identity.
Then he visited his youngest daughter,
Mrs. Relland. That lady was engaged at
her household duties yesterday when she
was suddenly confronted by a strange
man.
' Your uame is Mary," said he breaking
a short silonce and advancing a step or
two.
" Yes, that is my name, "answered Mrs.
Relland, eyeing her strange visitor suspi
ciously. " What can T de for you '.''
" I am your father, Mary, who left you
when you were a babe three mouths old.
Am I quite forgotten ?"'
And tears came te the old man's eyes as
he leaned against the counter aud gazed
at his daughter. Mrs. Rellaud's first im
pulse was te summon assistauce, for she
feared the man was deraented, but he
stepped her and seen convinced h'er that
his story was ttue aud then rolated te her
his past life.
Te a correspondent IIouuse said wheu
he lert Reading he went te Virginia. Hore
when the war broke out, he was forced
into the rebel army, and when en the
march te Gettysburg he escaped, hut was
recaptnrad and p'aeed en beard a war
vessel. He again escapsd, aud then made
his way westward, only te be captured by
hestile Indians. Fer a time he was kept a
clone prisoner, but eventually he adopted
their habits and mode of life and was
looked upon as a member of the tribe. He
lived with his red brethren lifteen years,
and during that timj learued several
dialects. Then came a yearning for the
home efhis yeath. He bade his savage
friends farewell, went le France, and after
a unei sojourn tnore returned te America
via Cuba "Then I came te Read ing,"
sorrowfully concluded the aged adveutur
or, "and I will leave again as quietly as I
came. The city is strange te me, the
paople are all strange, and even my own
family de net seem te recognize me. I
will leave for the Seuth ; I have friends
there." And he kept his word, for he left
as suddenly as he came, net even bidding
his wife and children farewell.
