WONDERFUL VITALITY.
A Young Lady with Two Hundred
shot and Pieces OF Corset in Her
Body Still Alive.
New York Hersld.


New York Hersld.
There is at present every prospect of
the recovery of Miss Melinda I. Jaco-
bus, who was shot hy her lover at Peru,
n. j., ON the 25th of October last 1t
will be remembered that John Ii Wolfe.
young man from Jersey City, who
hsd for some time been paying atten-
tions 10 Miss Jacobus, called on her that
day and playfully pointed gun at her.
She told him 1t was loaded, but he did
not heed the warning, and the gun went
on, lodging a large charge of shot i'll
the right side of Miss Jacobus. The
physicians who were summoned pro-
nounced the case necessarily fatal, and
did not even think that Miss Jacohus
would linger more than an hour or two.
Instead of that she is still alive. and
the case is attracting considerable at
tenhon among the medical fraternity
of New Jersey The wound was about
nine inches i'll dismeter, but the great
er portion Of this was made by the
powder ard stray shot. The orifice wss
two and \ half inches long and two
inches wide. The tenth and eleventh
ribs were fractured, and portions of the
bone carried into the body. The lung
was perforated, the full charge striking
the lower portion of it and lacerating
1t terribly. Besides the bones of the
ribs, portions Of the clothing and corset

Were shot into the body, and it is the
opinion ofthe physicians, clear through

charge of 80 duck shot. There has

so that still about 200 remain. None
OF the pieces of dress or whalebone have
yet protruded. For few days after
the shooting the wound discharged air
from the lungs, which issued with n
gurgling noise, but this has ceased and
the young lady is apparently doing
well. No signs of py9mia have set in,
and the wound is gradually closing up.
The dead flesh is sloughing cif and the
young lady's strength is aiding the heal
ing considerably. At first Wolfe visit
ed Miss Jacobus and insisted ON her
promising 70 marry him, but She be-
came so excited that the physician bro
hibited her seeing him again.

Kitchen C0nycnienccS

"Hot water should. be kept III every

Sometimes this matter is reversed and

odious ghost that the sewer builder

and again every pot and pan is be-
witched and will not cook. Mrs. Stowe

THE PRESIDENT.

The bulletins from Elberon yesterday
and Saturday were very disquieting. 1t is
impossible to gather from them any ground
for hope, indeed. The rigor, the vomit-
ing, the renewal Of the bed-sores. the rapid
fiuotuation of pulse and temperature, the
unsatisfactory condition Of the wound,
each and all appear to indicate an alarm
ing access of the most formidable symp-
toms. Once more it is evident that the
attendant physicians are thrown back upon
the Presidents remnant Of constitutional
vigor; and once more the country must
tremble with anxiety as it reflects upon
the cruel drafts already made upon that
reserve OF vitality. The physicians
will not commit themselves to definite
predictions, and they are right. Men
in even worse straits have IN.
doubtedly recovered. But when it
is asked what the probabilities are in this
case, it is impossible to say conscientiously
that any strong hope of favorable out
come is warranted. The President has
