oijowing extraordinary incidents in the
Jf man named Watson, who, sotno fif
years ago, left Alexandria, settled in
j Wg county as a merchant, married
ghly respeetiibla young lady, by whom
tail four children, and subsequently be
e a widtwer and a bankrupt :
Wilh his little children, two of whom
e dnnphtprs, he lived on a small farm
;h he rented, three miles below ihe line
rating StntToril and King George. During
coldest of ihe weather in the latter pnrl
Vopnibor last, his children were seized
i w hfinpins cough, and every one of (hem
truU'd. Whilst thus confined, llu-ir lalh
vhs taken with erysipelas, anl in the
e room lay the father and children, per
ly helpless. Whilst thus confined, some
it broke in his meat and fowl houses,
Mole every fowl and piece of meat on
farm. In doing so they passed throush
garden, levelling the fence, and thereby
nilting the cattle and hngs to destroy nil
vegetables intended for winter use. The
' thing left for the support of lhat family
a small quantity of corn meal and some
tasted coffee. In lhat condition they lay
rge portion of the time without watei,
lout fire, and without food.
. poor widow in the neighborhood sent
n a small piece of meat, and the oldest
, not quite so ill as the rest, did, as long
is strength would enable him, crawl to
fire-plane, stir up the dying embers, half
some bread,' fry a piece of meat, and
l coffee without milk or sugar, attempt to
:ve the hunger of his. dying father and
;rs. Oil oun occasion, weak and feeble
le was. he "stasered'1 thronch the snow
i neighbor's house to procure fire. 'At
lime the father and children would be
ng for water, and not a drop in the house
no one to bring it. Thus they lay for
iral days, until God, in his mercy took
of lliR children. Two days did they lay
ises by tho side of their sick parent, and
jn to prepare them for sepulchre and
vy them lo tho tomb. A man acciden-

insensible, with his two dead children
frozen to death lying by his side, ami
them in lhat condition. Two days after
the father died. The night preceding
death lie had hemorrhage and bled most
fusely. By his side were his son and his
mliter barely able to raise their heads, but
ved lo the occasion they sat by him ihe
iln niiihi alone, using every means their
tut minds could suggest in staunching Ihe
od. A poor widow, ihe day of Watson's
th, heard of it, came to his house, had
i and his two dead children buried, took
sick one homo with her, nursed them,

, kOSStlTH AT .MOUNT VERSO!. .
Washington, April 18.
Kossuth visited Mt. Vernon to day. No
man, of whatever country, who honors true
greatness, can visit the home of Washington
without reverent emotion, withont earnest re
flection upon the calm majesty, dignified
justness and moral force of that character
which swayed the destinies of America in
the stormy lime of our Revoltitiqp. What of
Kn.gu!h at that home 1 at the Tomb of
Washinatonl Kossuth who might haTe been
Ihe Washington of Hungary but fnf treach
ery. Kossuth who pleads for his 'downtrod
den fatherland ;" who aks from us what
Washington had from France, and to whom
the oppiessed of all Europe look in the de
vout hope that the success of Washington
may yet be his, and llioir form of govern,
meulhat of which Washington was tho first
chief. With his own oriental richness of
style and poetry of iinasery, the exiled Mag
yar could not himself reveal Ihe emotions,
regrets, resolves and hopes of this important
day in his eventful history.
The party consisted of Kossuth and his
wile, F. Pulszky, F. Hajtiik, and Captain
Grei'rhenck, of Kossuth's suite ; Senator St
wiird and wife; Elwood Fisher of TheSonth-
cm Press; Uev. Mr. Bellows, of New Vork,
and wife; Grace Greenwood, and Miss Ann
Phillips, of Lynn, Mass. The boat left the
Washington wharf at ten o'clock. Kossuth
and party embarked at Alexandria, whither j
they had tone in rnrrinsrs. The weather j
was fair, ihe sky unclouded, the crowd on the !
boat not large, and the passengers congratu-
lated themsplves upon ihe circumstances fu
vnrinir iheir "pilgrimaged'
The boat stopped for twenty minutes at
Fort Wnshinstoti. Kojsnlh and party visited
Ihe Fort, and by theCommander were afford
ed every opportunity for observation. Kos.
Ftilh went in'.o the soldiers' quarters, and ex
amined minutely the accoutrements and the
accommodations of the soldiers.
Arrived at Mt. Vernon, accompanied by
Senator Seward, Mr. Pulszky, ?lr. Tlajnik,
Grace Gieenwood. and others of the ladies,
Kosiith and his wife proceeded to the tomb.
'
Kossuth stood for a few moments apparently
apparently
unmoved, lo those who were not near him,
but lhne who were nrar him fe't that he
struggled to supress emotion. In a few mo
ments he grasped tho iron railing, rested his
face upon his hands, and wept his whole
frame throbbed with emotion. Il was emo
tion which should have been unobserved, but
which was loo intense fur even Kossuth's
will to control. It was not a moment, as I
consider honest human nature, for thought.
The hear; has the mastery in such moments
the affection control thought comes af
terward. Kossuth had aimed as Washington
aimed he renewed Washington's example
bo fell his country lies bleeding an ex
ile he stood bleeding ah exile he stood at
Washington's tomb was it any wonder his
frame thiobbed w ith emotion lhat he wept,
ami that his countrymen wept with him, as
Pulszky and Hajuik 1 Ho turned away
and walked alone from the tomb it was an
hour for solitude what were his thoughts I
would not speculate ; but afterward, in
Washington's Library, to some friends he
saiil :
' How much of greatness depends on suc
cess! Had we tho aid Washington hail no,
not so much, I would not ask it I could not
expect il one quarter."
Giaee Greenwood said, "Washington's
God is your God."
Ksssuth replied, "Yes, we can rely only on
our God, the justness of our cause, iron wills,
honest hearts, and good swords."
This explains what Kossuth may have
thought when he walked alone, after he had
wept at the tomb of Washington.
When Kossuth returned from his sad, soli
tary walk, he looked more melancholy than
I have ever seen him. Tho lines on his face
seemed deepened, ns if many years of
thought had been added to his life. He was
immediately met by Senator Soward, and
was introduced to Mr. Washington, son of
the proprietor of Mount Vernon, who is a
grand nephew of the first President. Mr.
Washington conducted lire party to the man
sion. Kossuth had plucked a spear of grass
at Washington's tomb, which he presented
lo his wife. He expressed himself grieved
thai Mount Vernon was not Ihe property of
the Nation. Senator Seward said a public
opinion was being foimed which must de
mand a movement that would secura it as
such; and Mr. Washington remarked that if
the Nation ever expressed a desire, through
its Representatives, to possess the spot, Ihe
family would surrender it. Kossuth said he
feared there was not deep piety for tho dead
in America not as deep, at least, as in some
other countries, lie thought the memory of
iho illustrious dead should be cherished by
nations, and the legacy of their great deeds
and good example should be commemorated
in proper respect and attention to the places
where their remains leposed.
When Kossuth was conducted to the vari
ous rooms in the mansion he examined Ihe
furniture, pictures and relics with manifest
inti-ie-t. To the key of the Rastile, present
ed lo Washington by La Fayette, he direct
ed tie' ntti ntion of his wife, and spoke of it
in a manner which indicated lhat it was to
him a relic that should not be forgotten,
Vour renders know Kossuth was himself a
prisoner fur liberty's sake in his own coun
try. The only room in which Kossulh was sop.
arated from the visitors generally was Ihe li
brary. Here none but his friends was admit
ted. He examined the books, and made
many inquiries about Washington' habits.
I have in another place mentioned the pi in
ciple conversation in this room. One iuci
dent should not be foigotlen, Grace Green
wood had picked a twig; of cedar from
Washington's tomb. In the library she pre
sented it to Kossuth; he accepted it with
thanks, which were spoken faintly, but which
were lo be seen clearly in his eyes.
When the party left the library they
walked through the yard, looked for a few
moments at the garden and returned to the
boat.
It hid been an interesting reminiscence to
have visited, with Kossulh, the death bed
chamber of Washington, but ho was not in
vited lo enter it.
SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN JOURNAL.
On the return of the boat to the Capitol it
tnnched at Alexandria. A small crowd had
assembled on Ihe wharf. When the steamer
left the wharf, three cheers were given by
the crowd for Kossuth. He bowed to the
people at each cheer.
At 31 the boat reached the Washington
wharf. Kossuth went with Senator Seward
to his mansion, where he spent a part of the
evening.
Thus ended Ihe visit lo Mount Vernon. I
hnve tried plainly to tell your renders what
happened during this visit, tt is a theme
upon .which one ''in the vein" might write
eloquently but I am tint that one.
I have only to add that I hnve witnessed
two affecting scenes connected with Kos
suth's tour llirouuh the United Stales, which
are lo me rich remembrances so rich lhat
memory will always cherish them his part
ing with Ujhnzy nn the Mississippi River,
and his deep emotion as he stood with un
covered head before the tomb of Washington
grnsped ihe iron railing, and bowed him
self to hide his liiirninj leais nor will I ever
forget the sad yet resolute expression of his
brow when in Washington's Library he said :
"Wo can only rely on our God, Ihe just
ness of our cause, iron wills, honest hearts,
and good swords."
May that reliance be rewarded when the
crisis for Hungary comes, and may that cri
sis come soon ! W. T. C.
hl,,llE years ago a Philadelphia merchant
";llt a cargo of goods to Constantinople. Af-
Il'r "' supercargo saw the bales arid boxes
safely landed, he inquired w here they could
be stored
'Leave them here, it wont rain
was the reply. ''But 1 dare not
lo-nighi,"
leave them thus exposed; some of the goods
may be stolen, said the supercargo. The
Mahomedan merchant burst into a loud
laugh as he replied, "Don't be alurmrd there
ain't a Christian within fifty miles of heie.".
Hoofland's German Bitters. These
celebrated Bitters prepared by Dr. C. M.
Jackson, 120 Arch street, Philadelphia, are
perlorming astonishing- cures throughout the
whole country. We can bear witness lo
their curativo pnwvrs in the case of a friend
of ours who hail the Liver Complain, and
who had tried almost every other medicine,
bul without effect. After taking a few bot
tles of Ihese Bitters he was entirely cured.
To those who nro similarly afflicted we re
commend them to lake the preparation,
knowing that they will cure the disease
spoken of, and many others to which "fiesh
