THERE is woman now lying be-
tween life and death in a Western
city whose case has been only
equalled once in medical annals
The pulse is regular at sixty, and
all the bodily actions are perfectly
performed. The skin is natural and
the eye presents no unusual appear
ance, except a certain fxity, and
yet this woman has had for six days
a bullet fred from her husbands re-
volver EMBEDDED in her brain. One
OF the most touching and pitiful facts
about the case is that the patient, in
a sad kind of way seems to be con-
Scious, though unable to speak.
She is necessarily trying to get her
wedding ring off her finger, and at
one time appears to have imagined
that she had unIoosod it, for she
made motion as though about to
throw it away, but, apparently re-
penting, attempted to restore it.
The ring occupies all her thoughts.
She continually regards it, and will
hold up her left hand, as long as her
strength lasts, to look at it.
The Albany News stoutly main
tains that Chattanooga rightfully be-
longs to Georgia. The proper line,
it says, "runs from the head waters
Of the TugulO, and passes westward
about four miless north of Chatta-
nooga. When Georgia makes the
issue, and the National Judiciary
becomes honest, Ross's Landing will
be ours"

What French Engineer Has Accom-
plished In Aerial Navigation.

THE advocates of the possibility of
utilizing the balloon for the every day
purposes Of life have been greatly encOur-
aged by the result OF series Of expert
mcnts lately made in Paris by NJ. Dupuy
de LONE, and recently communicated to
the Academy of Sciences This gentle.
man is an eminent French engineer, and
we'll acquainted with both the theory and
practice of his profession; and his atten-
ton was especially called, during the
siege of Paris, to the importance Of hay,
ing q balloon which possessed some pow
or Of steeragc He has completed the first
construction according to the new plan,
and made, as he claims, entirely success
FIJI experiments " It'll it. The balloon is
in the shape of an enormous egg, the
longer axis horizontal. with an oblong car
suspended from it. The total length is
lis feet, and its diameter at the point of
greatest circumference 40 feet The rud-
der by which the balloon is stccrcd is a
plain triangular surface, made OF unvar-
nished calico, and constructed to turn
easily ON its forward extremity. The
car is Of wicker work, containing a
windlass for the screw, eight men 70
manage it, and is capable Of carrying
fourteen persons The RAIDER is fixed
to the balloon ITSELF aud he screw is
below it and Immediately attached to the
car, and having only two blades, so that
when the ground is touched they can be
placed horizontally to escape injury. The
windass which turns the screw is worked
by four or eight men The envelope of
the balloon is composed Of white silk.
The constructor does not pretend to be
able to make direct movement against
the wind, but only to deviate from its
direct set when running before it, He
expects to be able to track to the right or
left, but does not hope to be able to beat
to the windwnrd. There is second bal
loon attachment to the bottom Of the
main balloon, forming kind Of com
partment, occupying about one tenth Of
the cubic space Of the balloon, and serv-
ing to keep it stiff and of the required
shape. In the experimental trip Of Vi,
LONE half gale was blowing, and the re
suit answered entirely to his expectations
The screw drove the balloon about five
miles an hour quicker than the wind was
blowing, and by the use of the rudder
the course of the balloon could be altered
eleven degrees either way from the set of
the wind. --HUyp6r'S NagHstDf.

Half an hour afterward at least five hum

sober as Judge, made no response what
ever to the constant inquiries as to the
object of his singular conduct, AT the

vicinity were packed with people, all
anxious to solve the mystery. The man,
