GRATrTUDE-What American can read nh-
out deep emotion, the following anecdote II ON
Stevens Incidents Of Travel in Greece" &c.
AT Kalamaki, while walking along the shol a.
a Greek who spoke the lingua Franco, came trol
on board one of the little caiques, and when M
learned that | was an American, described to me
the scene that had taken place on that beach upon
the arrival of provisions from America; when
thousands of miserable beings who had fled from
the blaze of their dwellings, and lived for months
upon plants and roots grey-headed men, mothers
with their infants at their breasts, emaclaed with
munger and almost frantic with dispair, came
down from their mountain retreats to receive the
welcome relief. He might we'll remember the
scene, for he had been Of that starving people
and ne took me to his house, and showed me his
wife and four children, nearly all grown, tel
ling me that they had all been rescued from death
by the generosity of my countrymen.
81 do not know why. but in these countries it
did not seem unmanly for bearded and whiskered
man 10 weep: with his heart overAowing and his
eyes filed with tears, he told me, when returned
home, TO say 10 my countrymen that had seen
and talked with recipient of their bounty; and
though the Greeks might never repay US, they
could never forget what we had done for them.
| remembered the excitement in country in
their behalf, in colleges and schools, from the gray
bearded senator to the pratting schooboy, and re-
hected that perhaps, my mite, cast carelessy upon
the waters had saved from the community of
misery this grateful family. | wish that the cold
booded prudence which would have checked our
honest enthusiasm in favor of people under
calamites and horrors worse than ever fell to the
lot Of struggling to be free, could have listen
ed to the gratitude Of this Greek family. With
deep interest bade them farewell"

Married woman, negligent Of her person,
and careless of her charms, will soon weaken the
respect of her husband and be charmess in his
sight. No married woman ought ever to be seen
by her husband with disarranged hair or soiled
gown, handkerchief or collar.

Our object, however, at present, IS not 70

We repeat, therefore, what we started with,
that Mr. Naylor has the certificate as wen as

take his seat in the next Congress as any
one who has been returned as member elect.

in conformity with the practice heretofore observed

House, TO call List which he had formed of men,

twenty-Sixth Congress, at this its first session.
No objections being made, the Roll was com

England States and also those from the State OF New
York, having answered 10 their names,
The CLERK next proceeded 10 the State Of New
Jersey, and called The name OF JOSEPH L. RANDOLPH

were five OF the seats belonging to Representatives
Of this State which were contested and, not feeling
It 10 be his duty 70 decide The question OF right TO

Many voices cried Agreed! agreed'
Mr.. VIM COST JOHNSON objected TO having
the State passed over until il was decided who
were her Representatives in this Congress.
Mr.. MAX WELL. of New Jersey now rose and
addressed the House for few minutes Directing

MIR. MERCER said that the object Of his motion
had simply been thai the law and the testimony in
the case might be presented together.
MIR. CAVE JOHNSON insisted that all the evil

which he had no objections to the reading OF the

THE PENNSYLVANIA CONTESTED ELEC-
TON CASE. MEssRs. NAYLoR AND
INGERsoLL.
We perceive il stated in many papers that
although Mr.. Naylor has majority Of 775
votes for a seat in the next Congress, Mr.. In
gersoll has the certificate of election. This
is not the fact. Mr.. Naylor has both the GER
tifieate and the majority. Mr.. lngersoll at
tempted to deprive him Of the certificate, but
in that attempt he sgnally failed.
As there have been many errors in circu-
lation upon this subject, we have taken some
trouble to get the precise state of the case,
and we now submit it to our readers exactly
as il is.
The Third Congressional District Of Penn
sylvania mr. Naylor's) is divided, for the
convenience of voting, into six election DIS
triets. or places where the polls are opened.
There are the districts Of the
LIST. Northern Liberties.
ID. Kensington.
Sd. Spring Garden.
4!a 6nineorpora.ed Northern Liberties
9th. Lower Dublin, Byberry, and Moreland.
The law provides that the elections shall
be held on the second Tuesday OF October,
in each Of these districts; and provides Off
GERS, styled judges, inspectors. and clerks,
for conducting the elections, deciding on the
qualifications of voters, DC. After the clos
ing of the polls, these officers are, in their
respective distrits, to count up the votes,
ascertain the whole number for each candi-
date, and make out return, under the hands
of the judges, showing the number of votes
given for each candidate. This return is
then placed in the hands Of some of their
number, called return Judge" whose BUSH
ness ii is to meet on a certain day, at the
State House. the other judges from the seve-
raj election districts composing the Congress
sional District. These six return Judges are
to meet together, each having the return Of his
district. When met they are, in the words of
the law, TO compare and cdstup the several re-
turns, and to execute under their hands and
seals one general and true return Of the whole
District" They are further to 'cause one
copy of the said general return to be deposit
ed in the prothonotary's office and another
they are to transmit to the Secretary OF the
Commonwealth, whereupon the Governor is
to issue proclamation declaring the persons
elected, and also to send the returns of mem
bers Of Congress to the House of Represen-
tatives Of the United States.
Agreeably to the laws above stated, an
election was held in October, 1898, in the
said election districts, for a member of the
goth Congress. Messrs. Naylor and lnger-
soil were the candidates. The polls were
opened, the election was conducted, the votes
were counted, the returns made and signed
and all things done as usual according to law
The six return judges met at the State House
on the day fxed-three Of them were Wings
and three Of the other side. The returns Of
the six several districts were produced, CON-
pared, and cast up, and the result was as fol-

ROCKBRIDGE ALUM
SPRINGS.

The Proprietors of the Alum Springs,
grateful for the encouragement which
they have received in former years, not
withstanding the unfinished state of
their improvements, inform the public
that their improvements are now SO far
completed that they are prepared TO af-
ford comfortable accommo dations to from
one hundred TO one hundred and twenty
boarders. The Alum Springs are in
Rockbridge County, Virginia, on the
road from Lexington to the Warm
Springs. seventeen miles from the forms
er and twenty miles from the latter
place. There is q good turnpike road
across the mountain. Good hacks eau
be procured in Lexington on moderate
terms, TO convey stage passengers to and
from these springs.
These waters, for the time they have
been in use, have been more celebrated
than any mineral waters in Virginia, for
the cure OF dyspepsia, chronic diseases
of the stomach and liver, chronic dis
eases in general, and all kinds Of cuta-
neous diseases. They are said 20 be pes
culiarly ef1icacious III the cure of female
complaints.
Several inveterate cases of scrofula
have been entirely cured by the use OF
these waters, and we believe that none
have used them for any length of time
without deriving great benefit in this
hitherto almost incurable disease.-Cer
ti6cates to this effect would have been
published in connection with this state
ment, had we not understood that DR..
Good, of the Hot Springs. was preparing
for publication his opinion of the effects
of these waters in the cure of this disease,
and had made application TO Mrs. Dick
inson, of hlillborough Springs for her GER
tifcate to accompany his publication
