ANOTHER MIRACLE,
Jennie Grlssinger's Spine Cured
by Prayer..Harrisbu Doc.
20 tors Puzzled,
From the Harrisburg Patriot.l

From the Harrisburg Patrlot
About three years ago Jennie Grissin-
ger, young lady of this city, vas af.
ficted with disease Of the spine, which
gradually became worse until she was
obliged to take to her bed. She was at.
tended by physicians who resorted to
every known medical expedient to re-.
lieve her except the application to the
spine of red-hot iron. Two of them
held consultation recently at which it
was determined to apply this terrible
remedy if she would consent to go
through the terrible ordeal. They COM
municated the result of their delibera-
tions to her, but she protested against
any further experiments and said she had
made up her mind to trust her case to a
supernatural agency for cure-that some.
thing had told her she should rise. from
her confinement next day.
She rose accordingly and sat on
chair. The following day she walked
across the room, and since she has at
tended church, walking with perfect
ease. Owing to the protracted confine-
ment she is weak, but her spine, which
was broken in three places, has been re
stored to its original firmness. The ply.
sicians were called in to see her after she
had left her bed, and expressed their sur
prise at the marvellous change. Even
her lungs, which had been seriously af.
fected, seem perfectly sound. Miss
Grissinger. who res' les on Allison's hill,
attributes her cure to divine interposi.
ton in answer to prayer. She had par,
tioularly fixed her mind on certain pas.
sages in the Bible relating to promises
The young lady is daily growing stron-
ger, and expects to be restored to per
feet health.

H Matching coin is the favorite ,di-
version of John T. Raymond, according
to the Dramatic News, which says that
he will go out with couple of hundred
dollars in his pocket in the morning and
return in the afternoon for more. Last
fall, when in San Francisco, Raymond
met Maurice Grau on the street, and
they went together into the barroom of
the Palace Hotel. Raymond proposed
matching. They matched two ten dol
lar pieces. Grau won, They doubled
it. Grau won. From tens and twen-
ties they went up to hundreds, streak
of luck accompanying Grau throughout.
From hundreds they soon got to thou
sands. In less than half an hour Ray
mond had lost $4,000. So the story
runs. at least. 1t was on honor, OF
course, as neither had that amount OF
money. Raymond was excited and ner-
vous, and proposed matching the whole
$32, 900 ON one cast. Gran consented,
and put down head. Raymond matched
him and won. 70 GoTHf4 as.FuI ia

Simon CamerUn's Plea. and the
Widow divers Indignant Ans.
wer--Net a Woman TO be Trined
with. - ls------s-

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Mrs. Oil
ver's attorneys to-day filed replica
ton to Simon Cameron's recent plea in
her fifty thousand dollar breach of prom
ise suit. The plea is very brief, reading
as follows:
And now comes the defendant, and
for plea to the declaration filed against
him in the above entitled cause says thai
he never promised as alleged.
The plaintiff was shown this in the
Office of her attorneys this morning
and she exclaimed, Indignantly, "fIe
says he never promised, does he, the de.
ceitful old rogue. I'll show him whether
he promised as alleged, and I'll show
him, further, that I'm not woman tc
be trifed with by any such an old scamp
as he is" The lady was advised by hel
counsellor to hold her tongue, which
she did, after getting in an energetic
last word at the expense of the Whine
bago Chief. Mr.. Cameron's plea was
submitted without being sworn to, and
was signed by his attorneys, W. A,
Cook and A. G. Riddle, which saved
Simon from an unpleasant charge ol
perjury, if Mrs. Oliver should prove
that he had promised, and then lied
about it. Cameron's lawyers will prob
ably keep postponing the case for some
time to come. 90 -

ANAn eho LoAoOA 4oloSIhpu.I
The curious comedy of President ma-
king, now terminated, has had lin it
many incidents on which the American
people may be congratulated, but also
much that, In the eyes ofimpartial for.
eign observers, infliets national stain.
To begin with the darker traits, it is
undenlable that the votes Of probably
three of the Southern States, and GER.
tainly of Louisiana, have been given to
Mr.. Hayes simply through the agency
Of deliberate fraud A President Who
directly and distinctly owes his seat to
the success OF such frauds stands in q
position unlike that of any of his pre-.
decessors;l No such stain rested ON
one Of them, It's also fact that he
is the first CHIEF Magistrate Of the
Union who has failed to obtain trsla.
tive majority In the popular vote. He
might doso and still legally enter the
White House, for the votes are counted
by States, and the electors ara not in
exact proportion TO the population Of
each State. Still il is fact that, while
Mr.. Lincoln and Others failed TO obtain
an absolute msjority, they always polled
. higher number than any Of their ri.
walls. IN SHORT, Mr.. 1'ilden has the mel.
anoholy consolation of being the frat
man in American history who, having
at his back d clear absolute majority 81
the popular vote. has not won tie Pres.
idency. Nay, more, the electors Ycho-
sen to nominate him secured suocess at
the polls, yet were igeored by, State Oh.
