REsUscITATIoN FROM APPARENT DEArH.-
The Rockford Register gives the particulars
of singular case of resuscitation after sup
posed death, in that city:
A child had, TO all appearances, died, and
was laid out in its little winding sheet upon
board, in an upper room, while the other pre-
parations were going forward for the funeral.
The sexton was notified and the grave dug.
Some time after, the father went into the room
where the child was, and was astounded at its
calling him by name, and complaining that it
did not lie good. Of course the little sufferer
was supplied with better bed at once 1t had
evidently fallen into trance, from which it
was awakened by hard bed and cold air.

COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS.-The supply of money in
the market is fully equal to the demand, and is a
shade easier. Still the determination on the part
of mOnied men seems to be to hold on to their
funds unless previous rates are obtained. Some
are purchasing real estate in the city, others
investing largely in wild lands, or furnishing
funds to other parties for that purpose, the gen.
eral impression seeming to prevail that invest
mcnts in real estate will nett more than two per
cent. per month. There has been no change in
the rates for the past week, which we quote as
follows:

The amsterdamshe Courant contains the fol-
lowing
" 1t is we'll known that Fest InIians have
many inventions unknown to Europeans, and
that they possess secrets inccmprehensible to us.
The Chinese understand the art of printing
several centuries before Western nations, and
they also used gunpowder long time before it
was known in Europe, In Bengal the art OF
serpent-charming strikes foreigners with as
tonishment. In Chilli the Spaniards instituted
system Of rapid correspondence by means of
the human voice, which at that period went
ahead of every other mode Of communication.
In the kingdom of Montezuma videtts were es-
tablished at stated distances, who transmitted
the orders of government, and forwarded in
formation with the utmost rapidity from one
end of the kingdom to the other.
1t is recognized fact in British India, that,
in 1915, the Governor Of Bengal received no.
notice of sudden revolt of the tribes of the
interior. Ills information proved that the ma
tives had obtained information of the Allies
having lost the first day of Waterloo, (Quatrel
Bras.) The rebels also knew, a short time sub
sequently. that the battle (Waterloo)had beer
gained by the British and their allies Tire,
,ceeks later the Governor received official notlc,
of this event, which news had been immedi
ately expedited to him by the Duke of Wei
lington, by means OF couriers dispatched from
the battlefield.
A similar circumstance has just taken place
Letters received lately from Calcutta announc
that the Europeasn mail is awaited with mucl
anxiety, as the people Of the interor have al
ready received the anticipated news of the con
clusion Of peace. This news of which, as yet
the European population knew nothing, ant
could know nothing. because no mail had ar
rived, had reached Calcutta in advance of stean
and even distanced the telegraph from Bonn

well to have care for the future. They may

the following manner: Mush the selected ripe

The Ruins OF NINEvEK.-The steamship
" Soho" has Just arrived from London with the
last consignment Of Assyrian antiquities from
the ancient Nneveh. They consist of about fifty
cases Of the most artistic scu ptures yet dlscov-
cred in the earliest post-dluvan city, represen-
ting the Queen of Assyra ieasting under the
shadow of the vine, the King engaged in a lion
chase, and after in the act of pouring forth Ii
baton. There is also a splendid and almost un-
broken hunting series, comprising not only lions,
but wild asses caught in moose or lasso; also
a procession of sportsmen bearing away birds,
hares, &C., with their dogs, nets, and other i'm
plemenls of capture and pursuit But still more
interesting than these treasures of antiquity are
the slabs bearing the famous inscription on the
winged bull at the entrance of the Palace of Sem
acherib, recording his memorable expedition
against Hezekiah, the Sovereign of Judah, in
which 1870 900 of his warriors, +" unsmote by the
sword in single night, melted like snow
in the glance , f the Lord" an event so snblimely
described in the Hebrew melodies" of Byron ::
"And there lay the steed, with nosrs all wide,
But through there rod the breath of his pride
And the foam of his gasping lay white on the turf
And cold as the spray the rock-beaten surf
And there lay the rider, distorted and pale,
With the dew on his brow and the rust on his mail
And the tents were all SILENT the banners alone
The lances unified, the trumpcts unblown."
