His Holiness Completely Recovered from His At- tack of Ilness—The Supreme Pontiff After the “Days of Peter.” TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. Rome, June 14, 1873. His Holiness Pope Pius the Ninth has completely recovered from his late attack of severe illness, Pius the Ninth in Vatican Power and Physical Strength After the “Days of Peter.” An English reviewer, writing a few weeks since on the Vaticap situation as it presents in Rome, and especially with reference to the health of the Sovereign Pontiff, said:— The health of His Holiness, never robust at any period, has constantly excited well founded appre- hensions on the part of his friends; yet, somehow or other, these apprehensions have always proved baseless. Throughout the seven and twenty years during which Pius 1X, has been seated on the throne of St. Peter, there has hardiy been one in which hopes or fears were not excited by the tidings that the death of the Pontiff was a proba- ble contingency. But the Pope has lived on year aiter year, until, at the present moment, in the whole Sacred College there are only seven cardi- nals left who were raised to the purple when he was elected to the Pontificate. Indeed, the prolonged life of the Holy Father has not only exceeded com- mon expectation, but has falsified one of the most venerable traditions of the Papacy. According to a legend of great antiquity, St. Peter was Bishop of Rome for a quarter ef a century; and since that date no wearer of the tiara has ever been permit- ted to complete the twenty-fifth year of his Pon- tificate. This belief was shared by Pius 1X. him- self; and the Ecumenical: Council was assuredly held in 1869-70 in order to celebrate what was deemed to be the closing year of the present Pope’s reign. All expectations, calculations and traditions notwithstanding, His Holiness has lived on to the present day, until not only the Romans, but the world at large, have almost ceased to be- lieve in the possibility of his reign soon coming to an end, CHINA AND JAPAN.

A DESPERATE LOVER, An Attempt at Murder and Suicide. Nasuva, N. H., June 14, 1873, At Hudson, N. H., Henry Jewett, twenty-fve years of age, has been endeavoring to win the hand of Miss Ella Wood, a daughter of Charles Wood, Miss Wood rejected his offer of marriage, ard her parents also opposed it. This morning Jewett visited Miss Wood, pulled from his pocket a six-shooter and aimed it at her Mead and fired. The ball entered her forehead, just above the eye, and 1odged under the skin. Miss Wood fell upon the floor, but not insensible. Jewett then passed from the house to the yard, where he met Mr. Wood, and endeavored to aesassinate him. Mr. Wood caught the enraged man by the throat, warded of the aim of the pistol and so, lortunately, escaped. Jewett then put the pistol to his own ear and dis- charged it, the ball entering his head and eausing a wound that must prove fatal. The indications are that it was Jewett’s intention to murder the entire family. A FEARFUL STRUGGLE. It appears that the whole affair occurred in the sitting room of Mr. Charles Wood’s farmhouse, After the first shot was fired Mr. Wood grappled with the assassin, and a fearful life and death struggle ensued, in which Jewett attempted to take Mr. Wood's life. Mr. Wood finally overcame Jewett and crushed him to the floor, when the lat- ter placed the pistol at his own head and dis- charged it. Inthe excitement Mr. Wood dragged him out of the house by the heels and left him un- der an apple tree to die. CONDITION OF THE WOUNDED PARTIES. Dr. Smith, of Hudson, probed Jewett’s wound to the depth of five inches and says he cannot live. While he had his senses he asked forgiveness for what he had done, and in his wandering state of mind he called for Rev. A. W. Chaffin, now of Lynn, Mass., saying, ‘1 leave myself in your hands,”’ Some years ago Jewett married @ Miss Smith, of this city, but the marriage was an unhappy one and they soon separated. Miss Wood's wound is worse than was thought at first, It has been probed to a depth of three inches, and although she has her senses her re- covery is doubtr A PATHER'S VENGEANCE, 2 ZANESVILLE, Ohio, Jane 14, 1873.

He Defends His Great Theory of Cross- ing the Atlantic by Balloon. Professor John Wise, aeronaut, who preposes to cross the Atlantic in a balloon, thereby eatablish- ing his theories regarding the currents of the at- mosphere and the uses to which they can be’ put for purposes of travel, is in New York. Boston, through the sudden contraction of her currency, has found herself inadequate to the task of sending out the pioneer transatlantic balloon, and Profes- sor Wise comes to New York with new hope, confl- ent that the meiropoils is, after all, the best place to start from. The enthusiasm of the gray-headed aeronant is, to say the least, very pleasing to see, and augura weil for the success of the undertak- ing, if he can but get the assistance he requires. It will require $10,000 to put the scheme upon a sure foundation, and the Professor thinks that he has already found, or will find, men who will champion his cause to that amount. It would seem strange that not only private enterprise but the government will expend bundreds of thousands of dollars in trying to discover an open Polar sea which cannot be of the slightest practical use to commerce or navigation, when in such a@ trip-as this proposed by Professor Wise there is an oppor- tunity presented of opening up at least an efficient mail service between the two civilized portions of the globe. A H&kaLD reporter had a long conver- sation with Professor Wise yesterday, the sub- stance of which is given below:— HERALD REPRESENTATIVE—I have called, Profes- sor, to obtain your reasons for believing that the trip to Europe by balloon is practicable, and I am Thousands of dollars were sure that they must be founded upon experience? Professor Wise—The problem is an easy one. It is a mere matter of building @ Moat which will re- main suspended in the atmosphere for sixty or seventy hours, and with which we can rise or fall into the northwest or southwest wind, HeRaLp REPRESENTATIVE—You are thoroughly convinced of the existence of anbasterly current m the upper atmosphere? Professor Wisk—I have known it for more than thirty years, from personal observation and expe- rience. The nature of the currents in the atmos- phere were well known even to the ancients, The currents of the trade winds are graphically de- scribed in the Biole (Keciesiastes i, 6) :—‘The wind goeth toward the south and turneth about unto the north.’ In the “iliad” ot Homer the de- scription given of the motion of bodies when hurled trom great heights is the same as I have observed when things are thrown from a balioon when ata great height—they spin upon their ver- tical axis. HERALD REPRESENTATIVE—Is there any donbt but that if the money were supplied the expedition could start this season ¢ Professor Wisk-—Not the slightest. Six weeks would be amply sufficient to build the balloon and equip the entire apparatus. HERALD REPRESENTATIVE—Will you be kind enough to give ne some general {dea of the plan upon which the aerial vessel will be built ? Projessor Wisk—The balloon itself will be globu- larin shape. A balloon of 100 feet in diameter 1s of ample size to cross the ocean, and one ot 150 feet would be suificiently large for the purpose of cir- cumnavigating the globe. I am certain that if T can cross the ocean [ can go around the glope, This would require probably eight or nine days. HERALD KEPRESENTATIVE—What capacity would you have, Professor, for passengers or mails ¢ Professor Wisk—In @ basloon 100 feet in diameter We could take 10,000 pounds of disposable ballast. In the trangatiantic trip we should take a great deal oi this im the shape of provisions, cooked and canned meats and fruits. A large quantity of quickiime would be taken, and we should use it for warming coffee and boiling eggs. HERALD REPRESENTATIVE—bBy what means, other ean sso the sun, would you determine your loca- tion Professor Wiske—We should take observations upon the sun with the sextant. We should also employ chronometers and the barometer, We should take reckonings three times a day. The first important observation would be to get the barometric lines of the upper trade winds, These are probably at a regular level over the ocean, since temperature is more even below and no undula- tions in the surface exist to cause undulations in the air currents. By these several means we should establish some system as regards the at- tainment of points on the other side of the ocean, Since we must necessarily have the advan- tages of the two upper trade currents from the northwest and the southwest, giving us all the territory which lies within the range of the compass for places at which to land. From former experience on the lakes I judge that I can tell the direction which the balloon 1s travelling by the foam on the water. I can always see the water, e tat such times as clouds intervene. Ican find out the direction of the currents below me without coming down to seck them, by suspending a light line of two miles in length from the balioon, having on it, at regular distances, indices which will regis- ter the direction o! the wind. Should the balloon encounter the “brave west winds’ on the ocean, with the aid of a drag line we could go right along without the loss of gas or ballast, HERALD KEPRESENTATIVE—Am I to understand that you will have a line in the water from the car? Professor WisE—Precisely 80, The balance or drag rope, about one thousand fect in jength, re- lieves the balloon of weight exactly to the extent ofthe rope’s emersion in the water, It does not materially retard its progress, and gives us the exact direction im which the balloon 1s travelling. Should we desire to come down nearer to the water we have only to wind up this ro; I should also state that if no other means offered for ascer- taining our direction we shall have along with us percussion fire pots, which, when thrown op the sea, Will ignite, showing their smoke in daylight eir light by night, They will be, literally, Hs ilar of cloud by day and pillar of fire by night.” ERALD REPRESENTATIVE—Please describe the car in which the passengers will travel! ¢ Professor Wise—We shall have a large wicker- work 6ar, With strong canvas sides and roof to pro- tect us frem the weather. In these will be glass windows. This car will be of two stories in height. We shall live on the upper floor, and in the lower we snail store our provisions. Underneath the car will be an open gallery for taking observa 8 of the sun. It will be put as Jar yelow as practicable, 80 a8 to avoid as much as possible the shadow from the balloon. Below this gallery the life-boat will be suspended. This will be of metal and decked over. I have prongee of taking the little full- rigged vessel ‘Red, White and Blue,” as she weighs only 1,500 pounds. I have already seen her owner. Hewanp REPRESENTATIVE—What are the possi- bilities of tne future should your trip prove suc- cessful? Professor Wisk—Everything imaginable in {the Way of transportation may become possible then, We may be able to discount the stories of Aladin andthe genii. Ifitis possible to transport ten people across the ocean it is teasible to take up a regiment of soldiers, Sailing in the air will have to be learned just as was the navigation of the sea, It took a great many pay before men would ven- ture to sea in ships. Even in Horace’s time it was accounted a wonderful act of daring to cross the Mediterranean. I should also say that the success of this undertaking will enable us to foretell toa nicety by cable the state of the weather on the British Isles, as the cyclones which bring the weather waves wil] pass us previously. A BALLOON WITHOUT GAS, Postponement of the Ascension from Jom Wood. The balloon ascension which was to have taken place in Jones’ Wood yesterday afternoon turned out to be a complete fizzle, The balloon, which was constructed in Paris during the siege to carry government despatches, was ready, aud 80 was Mr. G. Barbier, the conductor, but the necessary gas was not forthcoming. Seventy thousand cubic feet of gas were required, and the Metropolitan Gas Company did not furnish over 20,000 feet, There was a considerable number of spectators, but at six o'clock P, M, they were ail told that, owing to the failure of the gas company to fulfil their contract, the balloon ascension had to be postponed till’ next week. The balloon isa very large one, measuring 66 feet in width, 75 feet in height, 198 feet circumference. The car holds fourteen persons. The balloon is made entirely of silk, Mr, Barbier has made successful ascensions in it from Paris, Marseilles, bordeaux, Nantes and Rouen, He complained bitterly about the gas company, and some of his friends said the Super- intendent assured them that he knew already in the morning that it would be impossible to furnish gas enongh to inflate the balloon, The ascension will probably take place some day next week, — THE GOVERNOR'S SIGNATURE.

Two Vessels To Be Sent in Search of the Missing Explorers—Captain Tyson and His Rescued Companions to Aid in the Search. WASHINGTON, June 14, 1873, The Secretary of the Navy regrets the impression Should have gained credence that he proposed to depend upon the Juniata alone for his search for the Polaris, He not only tended sending the Juniata to Disco, but he aiso proposed to organize imme- Giately an expedition, composed of the bess naval officers, w goin search of the Polaris. THE ODJROT IN DESPATCHING THE JUNIATA at this time is because she is ready for sen, and will sail on Friday next to get the first tidings of the Arctic wanderer. In the meantime ®& vessel suitably constructed for such an expedition will be fitted out at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and made ready as soon as the large force at the yard can execute the order. It is Secretary Robeson'’s wish that the vessel selected may be ready to sail by the 10th of July. The detait of oMcers has already been made out, and the commander is expected here early next week, CAPTAIN TYSON AND THE EIGHT SEAMEN who to-night left for New York will be assigned to the expedition, Their leave of absence expires on July 1, when they will again report to the Secretary for duty. . ‘The fitting out of the expedition to go to the Arc- tic Ocean and the selection of a naval oMcer of rank as commander mean more than the mere searca for the absent vessel, As all the officers on the Polaris were subjegt to naval discipline, the impor- tant question remains to be settled whether there were not among the officers remaining on the Po- laris at the time of the so-called accidental separa- tion of the icefloe from the vessel those who are guilty of a GROSS AND WILFUL NEGLECT oF DUTY. The fact that Captain ‘Tyson and his party escape1 death does not pailiate or excuse the acts of those Who are responsible for the risk the Tyson party ran for over six months. Therefore the search tor the Polaris means something more than succor to & Vessel in possible distress, SUICIDE OF A MURDERER. The Convict, David Scott, Hangs Him- self in the Hartford State Prison. HARTroRD, June 14, 1873, David Scott, who, with his brother, Mitchell Cherest, committed the horrible triple murder at Windsor Locks, ip this State, in January, 1872, and was sentenced ty State Prison for life, committed suicide at the State Prison this forenoon. The circumstances of the murder were briefly these :—The brothers stopped at a notorious house of ill-fame on the Plains, so called, and while there, robbery being their object, it was supposed, killed Timothy Billings, keeper of the place; Delia, his wife, and Julia Hayes, aninmate. The weapon used was @ gunbarrel. The murderers es- caped and were subsequently found in Van Wert, Ohio, and brought back. The testimony against them was entirely circumstantial, but con- vincing. Scott was twenty-four years old, and Cherest eighteen, and neither could read nor write. They protested their innocence, and have adhered toit since they have been in prison, Their be- havior in prison has been excellent. Scott ap- peared at times much cast down, and in January last threatened indirectly to kill himself, The War- den then had a careful watch kept over him, but he soon became cheerful again, and gave the keepers no anxlety since. On Sunday last Warden Boteile had a conversation with him, during which he spoke of his innocence, and was very anxious to know if there was any chance of his ever getting out. Yesterday he complained of a lameness in his wrist, and the prison physician advised that he re- main in his cell to-day, At nine o'clock this forenoon the Warden saw him and he said he thought he should go to the workshop. He was then lying on bis back, and when the Warden first arrived his head was buried in the covering. Half an hour later one of the keepers saw him and spoke with him, At a quar- ter to eleven another keeper FOUND HE HAD HANGED HIMSELF, and an alarm was given. The cell door was opened and it was found that he had used a small hemp cord and tied it to oye of the bars low down, so that his neck was not more than four feet from the floor, The cord was cut suddenly and the body fell, cutting on the stone pavement a deep gasi in hls head. He had been hanging, probably, iiiteen minutes and was quite dead. His face had turned black, and upon stripping the body to place it in @ coffin it was discovered that a recent attempt had been made to commit suicide by stab- bing in the arm, ‘The Warden notified the brother this afternoon of the act and had him placed in the comfortable quarters of the ee den that he might better ear his grief, but he did not show any marked symp- toms of anguish. A H&RALD reporter saw him this evening, and he said that he should be lonely now that his brother was gone, and that neither of them should have been imprisoned, because they were innocent of the crime. “Thts isn’t the first time,’ he said, ‘that David ‘tried to kill himself. He tried it when he was first in jail and took strychnine. Itold him then that he was foolish.’’ ‘A jury of inquest found a verdict of death by hi ing, ind the body will be sent to Feeding Hills, Mass., Where the parents of the boys reside, NAVAL ORDERS, WasHinaton, June 14, 1 Lieutenant Commander John Schouler is de- tached from the Hydrographic OMce and ordered to the Naval Academy; Lieutenant Commander R.
