Evening Carettc.] A Strange Affnir. A Young Lady in a Year's Trance ? Four Months Without Moving, Sleeping, Fa lino or Drinking ? Ex traordinary Effect of Thy steal Injuries. Tn the city of Drooklyn lias long re-> aided a highly respectable family, well known for their social position, whi^h, if ia not one of Vealth, is that of competence. , daughter of a widow mother, a young lady whose amiable qualities have always endorsed her to her companions and friends, and now, at the age of twenty, she has become one of the most remarkable invalids that hare excited the medical faculty. * About a year ago, was thrown from a horre, and for some time suffered severely from the iujuiies thus re ceived. Iler case, however, at that time, called for no more than the ordinary attention due to one whose nervous and physical systenwhad become shock ed by a suddetfcnnd unexpected fall.'? Subsequently another injury, was sua tained by tiie unfortunate young lady, whose case is now about to command the attention of the entire world of physical and mental science. The second injury received by the i FAtinor 1 art u vvoi noiuaJ Kt? !< > !?/? I J B.?, ? "J skirt caught by a street car, through which misfortune, she was dragged a considerable distance. The nature of tho injuries received have never been fully determined, J>ut it is conjectured that some injury was sustained at the baaa of the brain, or to the spinal cob . timn. The patient was removed to her bed, where she has remained now about twelve months, undoubtedly a- great sufferer, but yat losing nothing of ber youthful color and beauty. . J. - I1KR APPBARAtfCBShe reclines oa ber right aide. Her right hand rests under the right ear.? The fore finger and thumb of this hand can be moved at .will. The left baas) ana arm are ire*, but (he thumb of the left hand rigidly adheres to the palm, and is not of use to the various employments of the invalid. Her lower limbs are seriously intertwisted. The eyes are cloeed, and the teetb firmly set,#o that food or drink caupet be eonyoyed to the palate. Tbe fcce of the body has all the appearance of complete health,and rather increases In beauty, hot withstand ing tbe y*ry remarkable disease, or Combination of diseases, which ?fleet the patient. The oilier phenomena pre still more ? remarkable since they show that the 1 4 mind, though deprived of the ordinary eensee, is just aa active* the feelings iust as fresh, warm and playful, is when the inva^jjlsfasTa tbf enjoytncut of perJ? ifl nil iflIB IB 11 K if A^h^JH /^Wu P jP Ht i ' , J- i i j' i feet health: Though without- the use of her mouth, -eyes or teeth?though ha neither eat' or drinks, nor sleeps for weeks together, yet she lives cheerful, and comparatively happy. now 8BB MVK?f is the problem for science to solve.? For four month preceding last Septemv, ber she has not tasted food of any kind and slept. Sinoe then experiments have .been made to feed her, as she ba4 conveyed a message occasionally in these words : 411 feel hungry." -Food, bowever, when forced upon her, seems to produce trances and catalepsy, and twenty days together she has remained in a trance. Occasionally the patient is effected by spasms. At these times the right hand is. thrown rigidly out, the leg unwind*, and aconvul-ion lakes pi nee ; but soon the limbs flv back, like spring*, to their wonted places, and the .mind of the sufferer becomes . cheotful again. In periods of catalepsy, other phenomena present themselves.- Among these is the general rigidhy of the bod?, that is like marble, and she may then be plnced immovable. These, however, are the exceptions to.the general condition of the patient, who is remarkable for q.ual ities still more interesting. She writes to her friends and school mates warm and affectionate letters, but. sho does this with ber (eft hand. Grasp ing the pen with hdr four fingers?not using the thumb?she plnces the little finger parallel with the slate or paper, and usually in a beautiful Italian back band, conveys What she has to cornmu nicate. While writfng, she does not use ber eyes. The lids arevcloeed. now 8IIR RRAOS is another marvel. When a book is given to her. she holds it, but it is kept closed, and she soon becomes entirely cognizant of ijs contents. Thus it is with letters. She reads them entirely by clairvoyance, and settle* that disputed problem beyond any doubt. It may be naturally asked if sho can see every thiner in ilia morn in?o ? - - n ceives what is near her- This question is a difficult one to settle, although the facts seeiu to establish a negative. Recently, a very venerable physician, promoted bv ctSrioMty, called to see her. On patronizing her with many kind words, and calling her his " dear child," to ingratiato himself moro readily, he caused her considerable nr.ttovacco.? Afterward, however, he quietly sat at a distance to observe her. It is supposed that she thought he had goDe, f^r. call ing for her slate, she imitated in words and otherwise the peculiar manners of the doctor. HKTl BMfLOYMRVTR are numerous, but those?the results of which are the moat wonderful?are her paper cuttings, her embroideries, and crochet work in colors. We have said that she can use the thumb- and fore finger of hor right hand. These hold thescisRora when she cuts paper. . Meanwhile the left hand is behind her head during the performance of the task. In the same way?the left hand always at iho back of the head ? she pursues bar embroidery and crochet work in various colors, precisely as she might do if she had the use of both bands.v- It is quite evident that she clairvoyant]}' perceives everything that ia near her; but beyond this, probably, her power does not extend. * Still she is not deprived of occupation anv more than a lady who has her eyoj.

On Market street, the innin business thoroughfare, the water was ten feet deep at the highest points, or over the tops of the nwnings in front of the large stores.

John D. Jones, E-q. formerly of the Mndisonian. the author of " A Ilebel Clerk's War Diary/' died in the city of Burliogton, Now Jersey. Ex-Senator Wall, of that city, wrote an obituary notice of the deceased, at the conclusion of which he said ; " No one acquainted with the subject of this rapid, imperfect sketch, but must have been struck with the almost fem imuo ^cMiicuciin anu lenue met}* Uispiay ed by him in social intercourse.

With all his gentleness and tenderness, he w"as possessed of a rare courage, nnd ever spoke or his death, which he'knew and fell to be near, with great calmness, re gretting. as he said 4 noT for himself, for he longed to be at rest, but for that.lit tie home circle he was to leave behind 'him exposed to the world'* rtide buffets.* In the midst of a family, who bad generously welcomed him to their circle and where he was watched over and tended with a care and a deep <?o|icirude that couid not have been exceeded, if I10 had been of their own blood and lineage, be onietlv fell asleep.

On Being Sentimental What, then, in the just and noble meaning, is sentiment ! It is the backwater of mighty feeling. It {9 what is lefi behind by the high tides of the great primitive emotions. It is the memory of passion. It is the ingrained coloring of thought. To discharge thought of that coloring is impossible ; but a good many people who abu?e 14 semirncntalism "seem a* if they would like to do just that impossible thing.? 1'hus, they have a cold sneer ready for lis if we speak of the sacredness of life, the majesty of human nature, the beau ly of a mother's love, or the innocence nf childhood. Thu?, Jeremy Bentbam, mentioning that Constanline forbade the branding of criminals on tire face, l>ecause it was the violation of the law df nature to disfigure the majesty of the human countenance, exclaims, with diss Ijust. " Tiro majesty of the face of a rcottndre) I" > But Bentham mistook ; snd so do other w riters of his school.? If there was no " majesty " of which a scoundrel was capable, then there was frothing to make it worth onr jyhile to liscipline him. If there was, it was our lutv tQ do nothing to create or to in crease any degree of incapacity on his part, or anvhody else's part. You shall not, said the Hebrew code, give more ban forty blows in punishment, " lest ihy brother seem vile unto thee."

Tbjre is no guidance to anyhing hut death, decay and rottenness, for cither individuals - or nations, in bought whiob pretends to have dis' barged itself of the coloring matter of ' ntiment.

For this time, it will .be enough to say that sentiment is the diffused sense which makes it possible for art to ad* dress us at all ; and that morality, or civil polity, without art {implied, at least, as possible and desiraole) must aa icevitably tend to corruption as art without morality ; or either, or all, with* out religion. In other words, we cannot banish sentiment from the atmosphere of any reign of human life. [Argoty* Fat and Deacon. A few months ago as Deacon Ingalls, of Swampscot, R.
