LIVING WITHOUT EATING.

A very peculiar case, says the London
Times, which has baffled several doctors,
and which, in stronge manner, shows how
life can be prolonged without anything in tho
shape of ordinary nutrition, has just come to
light at a place near Preston, where for three
years young woman had been lying bed
ridden, and for mO.e than a year has eaten
nothing Her name is Anna Riding. She
is about 33 years of abe, aud resides with
her aunt. Prior TO being taken i'll, she was
a strong, healthy young woman, never losing
days work, and was employed as an ope-
ralive at the mill of Messrs. Horrocks, Miller
& Co., Preston. Shortly after sickness set
in she left work, was compelled to take to
her bed, was medically attended, and ior
three years has been gradually sinking
Several doctors have at times attended her,
but none of them have been able to give her
any substantial relief, and six months ago
Temedical operations were abandOnedi aud
the case left to itself, the idea of the aunt be
ing that the "Almighty had TO do with il, "
and that it was useless continuing to incur
expense for medicines without nny hope of
cure. For sixteen months the young wo-
man had no TODD at all. the only thing she
| could bear being drop Ol wate- with which
to mois en- her lips. She is frequently asked
| if she will not have food, but always refuses
| il; she had no desire for it; and how she has
| Tor such long period existed without any
thing possessing the least affinity to meat is a
mystery. She is conscious, but very weak
gets little sleep, and cannot bear lighted
candle in the room at night time. II is sup.
posed that she is suffering from abdominal
alrophy, but the exact nature OF the case is
not positively understood, and it puzzle
every one who is made acquainted with it
and especially when il is recollecled that fol
q year and four months she has not had al
much meat and drink as would have been
requisite to sustain au infant a single day.
The relates IN charge OF the young womai
! are humble, honest people, and make M
show of the case, which is hardly known il

AN EXTRAORDINARY STEAMBOAT

Portland, Maine, boasts of steamboat
which, if successful in its movements, will
create revolution in the construction OF
steam vessels. The inventor, Frank G.
Fowler, of Bridgeport, Connecticut, has de-
voted 10 years to the perfecling of his ma
chinery, and expended thirty thousand doll
lars in his experiments trial of The yes
sci is thus described: The man at the wheel
controlled all her motions, without any COM
munication with the engineer First he sent
her directly ahead; then as rapidly astern,
changing her course from right to lett at will
Now he would describe large circle with
her; then he would make her reVolye on her
own centre, occupying no more than her
own length in the water Sometimes ne
would exhibit her singular movement by
whirlng to the right and then TO the lett,
whilst going backward and forward. VAR
ious other ieats did he perform with her, TO
the astonishment and high qualification ol
all the observers who had collected to see
what they never seen befOre-a steam YES
sci cutting as many didOs on the water as an
experienced skater usually cuts upon the
| ice.

Change of Gauge.

The Louisville Courier-Jounai, of Mon
day, says:
Several months ago the Ohio and Missis-
sippi Railway Company determined to
change the gauge OF their road. which did
not conform with the gauge of roads with
which it was desirable to cooperate. par
ticularly with the Southern and Western
connections. AS soon as it was discovered
that this move was to be made, an Injunction
was laid upon the road by the Erie, now
controlled by the New York Central. re-
straining the company from such course
Some few weeks ago the matter was AMIGA
bly, arranged between the roads, and the
original intention OF the Ohio and Missis-
sippi Company ordered to be carried out.
Yesterday was settled upon for the work to
be done. Every officer of the road was sum
moned to be at his post OF duty beforehand,
and all necessary preparations made for the
completion of the job in a day.
Changes in gauge of railroads have often
been made in this and other countries but
in no instance that we remember have both
rails been moved, one only being changed.
So, for the first time in the history of rail
reading, such change was made on the
Ohio and Mississippi Yesterday. From
Jacksonville to North Vernon the distance
by the Ohio and Mississippi track is fifty
two miles. The whole work Of narrowing
the gauge was completed between daylight
and eleven o'clock A. NJ. Such a feat in
railway enterprise was never heard of be-
fore, and is only attributable to the indus
trious and energetic efforts of the officers of
the road.
Next Sunday the company propose to
narrow the gauge on the main stem from
St Louis to Cincinnati. The experience of
Yesterday teaches us that success will
crown the effort.
