THE WATER OF LoURDEs CURES HOPE
LESS CAsE.-Miss Mary McCarron, the
young woman miraculousy cured by the
use of the water of Lourdes, is in the city
on a visit to friends and relatives. We
have the particulars Of her case from her
own lips. For eight years of her girlhood
into womanhood she was unable to stand
on her feet. She was wasted almost to
skeleton. 1t was miracle that she lived
so long afflicted as she was, but she appears
to have been kept alive for the performance
on her person of the visible miracle which
was wrought on her.
Miss McCarron, as was stated at the time
the cure was effected on her, was pronounced
iucurable by her physician. Indeed, he
told her friends she could not live MANY
days. She could take no food, no nourish.
ment. Eight years of pain and suffering
had almost done it's work; but miraculously,
as soon as she had drank small portion of
the water of Lourdes, probably not half a
teaspoonful of it, she fell into n sweet sleep
from which she awol<e without pain and in
wonderment at what had happened. For
the first time in weeks she felt hungry, and
asked for food and ate it. She felt that she
could stand on her feet aud did so. and
from that time on she has been gaining
strength, and is now in as good health as
she ever was in before.-Du5uque Teke-

The following letter has been addressed
by Hon M. G. Kerr, Speaker of the House
OF Representatives, to j. II. Real of Phila-
delphia, in reference to the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency:
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25 1876-J. H. PeoU
Esq, Philadelphia. DEAR SIR: Several davs
ago L received by mail, accompanied with
your card, an article over your name pub
lished in the Delaware county Democrat of
December 30th last. I perused the article
with much interest, and many of its views
command my unqualified approval but 1
have only time now to thank you for your
very kind reference to me i'm that article.
and to say that it is not my DESIRE in any
degree whatever, that my name shall be
used in connection with the national ticket
CT this year. The Indiana democrats will
present to our national convention another of
her sons as a candidate for the presidency
Governor Hendricks-in whose advocacy
for that high place I will stand with them
in hearty cooperation. My Judgment is
that our friends this year cannot do better,
if so well, than to nominate Governor Hen
bricks. L am, with great respect, very
truly yours, III. G. KERR.

THE joint resolution providing for
the purchase Of Purdon's Digest for
each member of the Legislature, al
though defeated in the House last
Tuesday week, is not dead, nut sleep
eth, a Republican member from Phil
adelphia named Yeakle having moved
a reconsideration of the vote. If
Yeakle wants to know the contents of
Purdon why don't he tuy one, or else
borrow one from Sam. Josephs, if that
enterprising ex-law-maker has a spare
copy of the dozen or more out OF which
he plundered the State during his long
and illustrious career iii the House.
Will the House go back on its record
and under the lead of Yeakle put the
job through? We will see.

defeated-veas 81, nays Gland Pur-
don will be a scaled book to feakle.

A FEW DAYS before the meeting of
the National Republican Executive
Committee at Washington in the be-
ginning of January, it was telegraphed
from that city, as if by authority, that
Grant had prepared letter to be laid
before it, in which he would decline
nomination for q third term in Ian.
guage clear and explicit, and which
would not admit of double construc-
tion like his ambiguous epistle to
Harry White. The Committee met
and adjourned, but no letter was re-
ceived from Grant. A short time after
that it was asserted positively that he
had addressed letter to Governor Nor
gan, of New York, on the same sub.
ject, distinctly declining a nomination
and that the letter would be made
public. But Gov Morgan exploded
the story by the statement that he had
never received any such document.
Two weeks ago it was given out that
Senator Conkling, of New York, had
in his possession a letter from Grant
absolutely disclaiming any third term
pretensions, but that Senator saws that
he never talked with Grant on the
subject and has not received any letter
from him in relation to it. Grant
don't intend writing any more letters
about third term, as the one he adj
dressed to White answered his purpose
OF satisfying both his political friends
and his Republican opponents. He is
still in the field and is by odds the
strongest candidate for the nomination.
Blaine may hurl his anathemas against
Jefferson Davis, Morton may shake
the "bloody shirt in the presence of
the Senate, and Bristow may continue
to expose and punish the men who
have defrauded the government out of
the tax on whiskey, but each of them
will come to grief and the present
Sphinx of the White House will re-
ceive the nomination at Cincinnati.
Why not? The negroes and carpet
baggers are under bonds to send a
solid delegation in his favor from the
Southern States. He will then lack
only fortysi.r votes Of majority OF
the convention, and what sane man
doubts not only the disposition but the
ability of the horde of custom house
officers post m asters internal revenue
officers and other understrappers OF
the administration in the northern,
middle and western States to deliver
at Cincinnati .forty-sir good and true
men, wearing Grant and third term
collar around their necks ? That
Grant will be nominated at Cincinnati
in June and ingloriously defeated in
November, are two events that may be
set down as reasonably certain ia the
near political future.

1T was the custom III times that
have long since passed away for almost
every court in Europe to have it's jcs-
Ger, who was known as The Kings
Fool" 1t SO happens, as it has often
happened before, that the present
House of Representatives Of this State
has lineal descendant of this neces-
sary appendant TO the kingly house
hold, who may be appropriately styled
"The House of sembly's Fool" 5.
A. Losch is his name and Schuylkill
Haven is his home When the bill
appr opriating million and n half OF
dollars to the Centennial Commission
ers was before Congress, MIR. Coch-
rane, a Democratic member from Al
legheny county, in this State, and Mr..
Stenger The Democratic member from
the Franklin district, opposed 1T IN
vigorous and earnest speeches, on the
specific ground that Congress had no
constitutional power thus to dispose
OF the peoples money. This was more
than the patriotic soul of the loyal
Losch could bear, and the opportunity
was shus presented to him of achieving
Immortal legislative fame by striking
a blow at Messrs. Cochrane and Stem
ger which would utterly annihilate
them, and hold them mp to public
scorn and contempt. He accordingly
set himself at work to impale them by
offering preamble and certain reso-
lutions in reference to the otfense which
he assumed they had committed, and
which could only emanate from a mind
so capacious as that of Losch's. 1t
was n cheap effort at notoriety made
by a very small man of the Elijah
Pogram school. He does not seem to
know that a member of Congress is
responsible for his acts only to his
constituents and not the Legislature of
his State We very much mistake
public sentiment if the voters who
sent Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Stenger to
Congress do not endorse their action.
BE that as it may, they are not amen
able to, nor can they be insulted by,
the puerile twaddle of Il legislative
buffoon like Losch. Here is what he
shout of dcrison, and he is the man to
whom the leather medal of which he
speaks ought to be presented:
WHEREAS, Messrs. Ccchrane, Stenger
and others, representatives in the Congress
of the United States from this Common
wealth, have in the discussion of the pend
