THE STREETS OF LONDON.

The cool indifference with which the police regard
the woes and weaknesses of humanity is a sublime
spectacle of philosophical composure. A barrister
witnessed a curious incident in South Belgravia the,
other evening. He saw a man pass under the gaslight
with his face and hands covered with blood. He was
drunk and perfectly unconscious of his condition.
He crossed the road to a, cabstand, and was getting
into a cab when the barrister prevented him, and,
turning him round, found he was severely injured.
Three men joined them, who said they had seen him
put out of an omnibus and fall heavily on the pave-
ment ; they had taken him to a house he named, and
found it empty. They stated that the police had
been talking to him recently, and had gone down the
street, leaving him helpless. The barrister routed
up two policemen, and induced them to come and take
charge of the gentleman, who presently remembered
his number. These policemen complained that they
were taken off their beat to look after the man. A
policeman's beat is an undiscovered country. Is it
"i' the earth or the air ?" If it had not been for
this good barrister, the unfortunate man might soon
have been taken care of by some person or persons
considerably interested in the security of his valuables,
and equally careless of his personal safety.

Paris, Oct. 31, 1868.

SIR,—An exceedingly interesting gathering took
place on Wednesday, Oct. 28, oh the Seine, to wit-
ness a grand exhibition of J. B. Stoner's life-saving
apparatus. The invited guests, numbering 354,
embarked at Pont Royal ou one of the largest
steamers of the Seine, the L' Aigle, bearing the
American flag, and supplied with music by the
band of the National Guard. Mr. Stoner explained
the nature of his invention, and exhibited his cork
jacket and indiarubber suit, which were put on by
his assistant, Mr. E. B. Craddock, in three minutes
time ; attached to his feet were leaden weights of'
seven pounds, to enable a man to assume and main-
tain an upright position.
Monsieur le Docteur Marquis du Planty, vice-
president of one of the humane societies of Paris,
kindly mounted the wheel-house by the side of Mr.
Stoner, and translated the explanations of the in-
ventor. During the passage Mr. Stoner and Mrs.
Craddock put on their costumes, and the three de-
liberately jumped over board, rising to an erect
position with their arms and hands at liberty ; with
them w.is thrown overboard a tin can, weighing
about twenty pounds, containing provisions for
a four days' supply, matches, signal rockets, a
flag, a pistol, ammunition, and water; attached
to it was a cord tied to the waist of the opera-
tor. The flag, by a combination of join's forming a
staff, was adjusted to the can, and when thrown to
the bre( ze disclosed the word "Eureka," and would
be visible at sea or upon a lake for a considerable dis-
tance. The three remained in the water for an hour,
during which time they partook of refreshments,
hoisted the flag, read the Continental Gazette,
burned signal lights of intentense brightness, capa-
ble of being seen many miles at night, fired a pistol
and sent up rockets, returning on board after a
truly successful exhibition, amidst the cheers of the
delighted audience.
The Marquis du Planty, who has taken a deepinterest
in the several exhibitions of this valuable life-saving
apparatus, presented a beautiful bouquet to Ma-
dame Craddock, and announced to the audience
that the society, of which he is vice president, had
unanimously awarded a gold medal to Mr. J. B.
him the title of
Society for his
ISitoonnoerra,ryandMember

exceedingly valuable invention. "Ile guests
• were entertained for a couple of hours with
truly American hospitality, and returned at
six o'clock to Port Royal highly delighted with
their afternoon's excursion. The utmost good feel-
ing prevailed, and at times was manifested in re-
peated cheers for its exhibitors—America, Franca,
&c. It was frequently remarked that no similar
impromptu excursion had ever passed off so
smoothly, or the promises held out so faithfully ac-
complished. Many ladies lent their genial ieflu-

[AD VEltTlSENlENT.]—Henceorth no one will doubt the valuable
properties of Du Barry's health-restoring Rcvalenta Arabica
Invalids' and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings
L has already received from Invalids whose position had been
deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holiness the Pope,
whose health has been perfectly restored by it after thirty years of
unsuccessful medical treatment. We quote from the "Gazette da
Midi," July 25th:—" Rome, July 21,1366. Trio health of the Holy
Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all other rem;-
dies, ho has confined himself entirely to Da Barry's Revalenta
Arabica Food, of which he consumes a plateful at every meal.
It has produced a surprisin[;ly beneficial effect on his health, mal
his Holiness cannot praise this excellent food too highly." We
extract a few out of mere than 63,000 cures:—Cure No. 53,214, of
the Marchioness de Brahma, of seven years' liver complaint,
wasting away, debility, nervousness, with a nervous palpitatio
all over, had digestion, constant sleeplessness, and the in Ist in-
