A REMARKABLE CASE. There is woman
at CampobelIo (near here) who has lain up
Oh her bed for sirfeen gears. She was pros.
traied after child birth, became paralyzed,
and has never recovered. The child lived,
was healthy, and is now fine young wo-
man. The wornan is not capable Of NOV.
ing any OF her limbs in The slightest manner
and cannot SIT up She can hear, bur can
not speak loud or distinct. What is very
remarkable, she appears to be Aeshy, has a
fair countenance. and good appetite, though
on account of her immobiily, her food is
given in thin or liquid form. She does not
change for the worse, but remains as she has
been Tor many years. Her bed is made by
rolling her from ono side 10 the other, and
she has no acute pain. Her hands remain
crossed upon her breasl-her fingers are
white and smooth almost as ivory. 1t is
singular that in this inert state Of her body,
the process of digestion should go on so reg
uarly as it does. Nothing is done for the
restoration of this woman. She is now
about 40 years old, and during her confine-
ment has seen her husband die in the same
room occupied by her. Is nor her case a
peculiar one? Passport Sentinel.

being highly estimable man, and thorough
seaman ......, s-Hi-4H .rr.t
We are proud to find that the Mississippi
elected in the Mediterranean such universal ad-
mlration. She is a noble vessel, and her ar
rangements, model and discipline were partic-
alarly scrutinzed by the architects and naval
officers Of the countries she visited, who ap-
peared to derive profit they will doubtless
practically enlarge upon in constructing and
managing their own vessels hereafter. AL
though in commission. for long period, the
Mississippi has encountered no serious acci-
dents, and few disturbances of her machinery
which have not been capable Of immediate rec
tihcation. She was aground, il is true; but
the accident was wholly unavoidable, and the
most she suffered was nominal delay of a few
hours. In a word, in despatching vessel of
such noble proportions and admirable arrange
ments, including officers and crew, our govern
ment has pursued policy that must result in
much naval and maratime importance to the
country. The result has been almost the for
nation of new acquaintances, and the opening
of Oriental relations highly fattering, and of
