PRESIDENT SCoTT's ATTACK OF
PARALYsIs-The Philadelphia Record
thus describes President Scott's attack
OF paralysis: About two weeks ago
Colonel Thomas A. Scott, president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company,
suffered severe stroke Of paralysis. 1t
attacked him in the left leg and extend
ed as tar up the body as the hip. Above
this the Colonel felt no signs of the
stroke. To friend President Scott
explained that the shock was more
severe than the one suffered some years
ago. He experienced a numbness Of
the leg, and when walking had great
difficulty in making the afflicted member
perform IDS functions. When his physi-
clan learned of the attack he immediate
ly ordered that the Colonel should give
up business and take long relax ,tion
from his labors, as he feared if Mr.,
Scott persisted in his labors his suffer
legs would become greater, and that
possibly it might creep W to his heart.
Colonel Scott will be absent in Europe
for some time, and will not return un-
til he has fully recovered. His illness
has been superinduced by his exceed
ing hard work for the past two years.

TIE Result.

The result of the recent election as
given by the New York Sun. Of Nov.
9th is as follows:
The returns Of the elections for MEM
hers of the next House are not abso-
lutely certain in every particular, but
they are sufficiently precise for cur
present purposes.
In the present House the Democrats
have l56 members, and the Republicans
have 1873, giving The former a major
ity Of 10.
Atthe September and October cleo
lions the tide ran steadily against the
Republicans, and they suffered a loss OF
10 members, as compared with their
numbers in the present House. From
this factlt was reasonable deduction
that they would lose in the same ratio
in November when 30 members were
10 be chosen. Had this deduction been
made they would lave been in minor
ity o. 10 in the next House.
But the tide turned against the Demo-
Gratis, and they have met with uneXpec-
ted losses in New York, in the Western
States, and elsewhere, 50 that they will
barely hold their own in the next
House. Indeed. five count the ten or
twelve Greenbackers who have been
elected. as an independent party in the
House. tie Democrats will do well if
they have majority over the combined
vote Of the Republicans and the Green
hackers.
The returns seem to clearly indicate
that the Democrats have elected this
nlllI6mcmbers, the Republicans 1872,
and the Greenbarkers II. California,
which IS entitled to members, does
not elect til next September. This
will complete the 293 members of which
the House Is composed. In the present
House. California is represented by two
Democrats and two Republicans. One
of the Democrats. however, was seated
by the House on an alleged majority OF
four votes over his Republican opponent.
IT. IN September next, California should
elect two Democrats and two Republi-
cans. the new House will stand AS
Democrats, TO l34 Republicans and ii
Greenbackers. giving the Democrats a
majority Of 3 over both. However,
Judging from their former political
affiliations. it is safe TO infer that 9 OF
these Greenbackers viii, on mere party
divisions, vote with the Democrats and
8 with tie Republicans. This would
increase the Democrats 10 l5G. and the
Republicans to 1871, leaving the Demo-
Gratis with a majority 10, which is
precisely their majority in the present
House.
There does not seem to be much
likelihsod Of the choice Of the next
President deyolying upon the House 4;
but such a contingency is among the
possibilities. In that event each State
would be entitled to one vote. There
are 3S States, a majority whereof is 10.
-4hc recent elections give the Democrats
majorityin 10 States-conceedin. to
them Florida, which is doubtful, and the
Republicans a majority III IS States
With California equally divided, and
therefore unable to vote, the Democrats
would have a majority Of one. But If
that State should elect three Republi-
cans il September, the Democratic
States would number 10 IN the House,
and the Republican States ia tie.

How many of our read ers can pro-
nouuce correctly the name of the
first highpriest of the jewish
people? Worcester says that it is t"
be called as though written Ar-on,
short q as in fare. We are sure thar
good usage i'll this country does not
justify this. The etymology, how
ever, does; or rather pathology docs
The Hebrew is -iha-roR, both OF the
as short.
This starts the question. Which
is the better basis for pronuncia-
ton, good usage. or etymoiogy -:
There is no doubt but that intelli-
gent men at the outset should pro.
nounce according 10 the laws OF Ian
guage. What laws of what language,
NAV be asked. Here is n Hebrew
name transferred to the English,
shall we call it according to the law
ofIhe Hebrew, or those OF the Eug-
lish According to the Hebrew
Worcester is right. According il
the laws OF English. the ordinary
pronunciation is correct. 1t is oui
Judgment, that when a word becomes
angllcized III form, 1t should be also
i'll pronunciation.
