Closing Scenes of an ALL Night Session.
Harrisburg Patriot.
At midnight last night the casual OBJ.
server who might have wandered into the
hall of the House of Representatives would
at first glance have been impressed with
the idea that he was gazing at tho closing
scenes of q fiercely fought field. The
wreck of battle could be seen in every di-
rection. In one place desk had been
broken from its supports, in another a
chair overturned bore silent witness to
some hand-to-hand conflict. The floor
was strewn with paper balls, and occa.
sionally missile of that description would

annoyance of nervous members. This
fusilade was kept up most of the evening
until about half-past twelve, when q hard
paper ball struck Mr.. Myers, of Snyder
county a severe blow in the eye. The in
jury was very painful and may prove
serious.

Sea Sickness.

The article in Tuesday INTELLIGENCER
on the above subject, in which my old
preceptor, DIR. Alonzo Clark, expresses
his views, only corrcboratcs the statement
I've made a thousand times, viz There
is no subject in tho wide world about
which there are SO many antiquities and
SO little known as the cause of diseases
and tho proper methods of getting rid of
them. All the articles unite in admitting
that they don't know what portion of the
body is affected, and the bromides and
other medicines prescribed are as unscien-
tific rs would be the shot of an expert at
birds in q tree with his eyes shut. I've
prescribed many times for my patients
about to cross the "big waters" and
successfully. Sea sickness is caused by
tho irregular movement of the vessel on
the waters, and produces always the fol-
lowing results Slight or distinct dizzi-
ness, giddiness soon accompanied with a
peculiarly unpleasant sensation in the
intestines, sometimes in the stomach.
Tho brain is annoyed by the new motion
Of the body, made in concert with the
motion Of the ship. The whole nervous
system is more or less disturbed, and con-
tinues to be so until the body and brain
are united to its new calling, and just as
the mouth gets accustomed to tobacco,
opium and other cxcitants so does the body
from the effect of the rolling motion of the
steamship. For the explanation is simple
and easy. There is through life wave
like movement of the intestincs of man and
beast, called medically peristaltic, and
this motion is always arrested when per-
sons are sea sick, and hence all persons re-
ceive decided advantage by rubbing over
them and by light diet during the affliction;
all drugs increase rather than decrease the
annoyance. G. A. GREENE.

A wo"a" Fore''iy g.,;na, Ianen to the L""a''o
About week ago there came to the
Lititz Springs hotel, q woman of medium
stature, fine features, delicately formed
and refined in manner. She looked feeble,
worn and haggard. Her face wore trOu-
bled look, like one used to long suffering.
She asked for work, and out Of pure sym
pathy the prOprietOr's wife gave her some
light employment. There was something
mysterious about her, inasmuch as her
language was good grammar, her knowl.
of books proved her to be = woman Of
more than orpinary culture.
Yesterday 4 messenger from the Penna-
sylvania state lunatic asylum arrived at
the hotel with an order for her return to
Harrisburg. The order was written by
DIR. Gerhard, superintendent of the insti-
tuition.
The poor woman protested most pit
eOusly against returning to that prison"
as she called it, and appealed to all around
her to assist her in some way to have her
case investigated.

Then followed the story of her escape
how she walked herself nearly to death
having no money to pay her way ending
with the heart-rending appeal" And
now must go back?" Every one around
her was in tears, and each felt it was an
outrage. She argued her case most fOrci.
bly,, eioquently, and left with her
captOr perfectly heart-broken. As this
woman now appears to he sane, and asks
for investigation, it should be granted.
Ard il, as she alleges, her husband, Mr..
FOgg, of Philadelphia, has placed her
there to get rid of her, the imposition
should be exposed and the woman set at
liberty.
She asked Mr.. Spickler, the proprietor
of the Lititz Springs hotel, to give her
letter to DR.. Gerhard stating that she had
been guilty of no insane act or imprO-
priety whatever. The request was cheer
fully granted.
