Mode OF Restoring Persons Nearly
Drowned.

E. Merriam, of Brooklyn. Nights, has re-
ceived from Capt, R. B. Forbes, of Boston, a
gentleman highly distinguished for his great
and untiring efforts in saving human life, the
following rules for the treatment of persons
supposed to be drowned:
j Send with all speed for medical aid, for ar
ticles of clothing, blankets, &C.; treat the pa
tient on the spot in the open air, exposing
the face and chest freely to the breeze, except
in too cold weather; place the patient gently
on the face Ito allow any fluids to flow from
the mouthG then raise the patient into
a sitting posture, and endeavor to ex-
&C., applied to the nostrils; by irritat-
ing the throat by feather or the finger;
by dashing hot and cold water alternately
on the face and chest. If there be no sue
cess, lose no time, but replace the patient on
his face, his arms under his head, that the
tongue may fall forward, and leave the en-
trance into tile windpipe free, and that any
fluids may flow out of the mouth; then turn
the body gradually, but completely on the
side, and a little more, and then again on the
face, alternately (to- induce inspiration and
expiration). .l....,..
When replaced, apply pressure along the
back and ribs, and then remove it Ito induce
further expiration and inspiration), and pro-
ceed rs before.
Let these measures be repeated gently, de-
liberately, but efficiently and perseverfngly
sixteen times minute only. Continuing these
measures, rub all the limbs and the trunk up
ward with warm hands, making firm pressure
energetically. Replace the wet clothes by
such other covering, &C, as can be procured

LIFE INSURANCE CAsE-IMPoRTAHT JUDI
CIAL DECIsIoN.-A case has been recently de-
cided by a Judge, involving a novel and i'm
portant question. Powers s. Greene, a resi-
dent of Little Falls, N. Y, few years ago,
being then unmarried, procured an insurance
of $4,000 upon his life, in his own name, and
delivered the policy as gift to his aged,
widowed and dependent mother. The gift
was by parol, with no written assignment.
Subsequently Mr.. Greene married, but he
kept up the payments on his policy, and
handed the receipts over to his mother; by
his will he also gave the policy to her; after
his death, and in settling up his estate, it was
found that the personal property was not
sufficient TO pay his debts; the executors took
this policy, procured the money upon it from
the insurance company, and used the money
to pay his debts, before resorting to a sale o.
the real estate The mother brought an ac.
tion against the executors for the money
and the case was tried before Judge Allen
who held the delivery of the policy and Of
subsequent receipts to the mother was do
nation, valid and binding, without an assign
ment in writing.

SUPPLY OF MUNITIONS OF WAR FOR Carl
BALDr-The Liverpool Times, by the last
steamer, observes
We violate no confidence in stating, as we
are enabled to do, that the patriotic Dictator
of Sicily has, through his agents here, been
successful in negotiating the purchase OF
some noble vessels for the 6otilla which he
is forming. According to the letter of our
Paris correspondent, two of these have
already sailed. There can be no hesitation
in now stating that one of these is the City
of aberdeen, paddle-wheel steamer; and
others, if not yet gone, may be shortly upon
the way. The last purchase of the kind,
which was effected yesterday, is that of a
magnificent screw-steamer, of about 1900
tuns, built upon lines designed to combine
speed and carrying capacity, which is con.
sidered by competent surveyors to be wei
adapted to carry the heavy armament of d
steam sloop-of-war.
Garibald's agents here are in possession Of
ample means; and we are not surprised,
therefore, that their attention should have
been directed to an inspection of the stock
of arms and other warlike munitions with
which some of the warehouses of our large
wholesale exporters abound. They are said
to have especially admired stock of $4,000
rifles, of the value of about 35s. each.

ago, man named Duifky, who had missed
some hay from his field, armed himself and
watched the field at night. About midnight

by Dufky, who on approaching, demanded
his name. Receiving no answer, he again
made the demand threatening to shoot il he
was not answered. Again receiving no re-

man fell. Hastily approaching the spot,
Duffky was Mortified at finding that the man

SOMETHING ABOUT FOREIGN WINEs--Ac-
cording to a recent statement in the New
York Journal Of Commerce, 1.-THE entire pro-
ducts of the vineyards of Europe, if exported,
would be insufficient to supply the natural
trade of the city of New York alone. But
another paper, which, bristling with statis-
grape, meets this assertion by showing that
the wine crop of France alone is 9S0,0O0,O00
gallons, while the aggregate European pro-
duction falls little short of 1000 100000. This
showing certainly leaves "ample scope and
verge enough" for the importation Of pure
wines, and does away with the idea that the
introduction of the logwood element is
caused or justified by the sterility of Euro
pean wines. Were but tenth part of this
vintage imported the streets would be fairly
flooded with port and every man, woman
and child in the country could swim in gen
uine sherry.

Curious Incident In Connection with the
Prince NapoleoB-The Feeling in hrs Favor
at Paris. .Ut ID I ...
The Paris correspondent, "MalakoG" of
the New York Times, writes in his last letter:
A curious incident in connection with the
Prince Napoleon has excited this week the
attention of the political world. The Prince,
with view to something which may "turn
up" in the future, has always maintained in
principle, the democratic tendencies which
distinguished him when a leader, or an af-
fected leader of the Mountain, in the Degis-
lature of the Republic. The Princes organ
so long rs NJ. DE GiTardin owned or directed
it, was the TresSe, but when NJ. Solar became
proprietor the connection was broken Off
The Prince then aided NJ. Gueroult, very
able writer, and one of the few journalists at
Paris who understands journalism, TO start a
new paper called the Opinione Nationdle,
which in years time has gained circula-
tion of $4,000. The Opinione is very ad-
vanced in its political doctrines, supports
Garibaldi, and his cause a outrance, and has
this advantage over its contemporaries, that it
obtains ut once and directly from the Prince
Napoleon, the news which he obtains by tel
egraph or otherwise from his father-in-law,
the King of Sardinia - Cd.
Two days after the funeral of the Prince
Jerome the OpinioRe contained long article
from the pen of NJ. Gueroult, eulogistic of the
Prince Napoleon, and calling upon the En-
peror to give him n higher position, and a
more prominent place before the country than
he now occupies. He refers to the Princes
liberal tendencies, TO his speeches in opposi-
ton to Capitalization hopes the Emperor
will listen to his counsels in favor of greater
liberty, and terminates by pointing to him as
the great hone of the Democracy of France.
In fine, the article of NJ. Gueroult is regarded
as call upon the Democracy to gather
around the Prince Napoleon as their pro-
tector and chief, under the present Govern
| ment, and as the chief of the nation if this
Government no longer existed. The reader
is permitted to extend the illusion further,
and thus it would not be difficult to find in
| the article Il call to revolt in favor of the
| Princes claim to the throne as a liberal En-
peror with all the benefits of free press,
free speech, and u bona fdo Legislature.
Such an article could not pass unnoticed
by the Emperor. The public knew the rela-
tions existing between the Prince and the
editor who penned the, article, and might be
| justified in coming TO the conclusion that the
| Prince approved it, aud that he willingly,
upon the death Of his father assumed this
| position of apparent antagonism to the En-
peror. So the Woniteny was made to say
that the article Of the OpiRione was written
| without the Princes consent and that he
was profoundly mortified on account of it,
and stigmatized the article as indelicate and
unwse. That is the end of the subject
| officially, but there is no end to the private
| conversation about il.

RECIPE FOR RHUBARB WINE.-Grind the
plant in sugar-cane mill, or any other that
will thoroughly crush it, and press out the
juice. To each gallon of water add three
pounds and half of sugar. Put it in a

three ounces of isinglas to the barrel Let il
remain six months longer corked, when il
willrbe fit for use. OF course, like other
wines, ii improves with age.

The Exchange of Foreign Silver for
Japanese COin-Thc Inconvenience and
Fraud Practiced I'm Chinn.
The Shanghai (China) correspondent Of
the New York Boening Post writes on the
18th ofMay;
The exchange of foreign silver for the
Japanese coin called itzibus (which is the coin
used in the trade of the country has been
attended with good deal of trouble. The
Japanese custom-house officials exchange
itzibus for coin, weight for weight. AS the
mint can only turn ont limited number
each day, and as the demand often greatly
exceeded the supply, the plan was adopted
of supplying each applicant with his pro
portion according to the amount of coin on
hand and applied for. Traders, under this
rule, soon began to claim exchange for fieti-
tious amounts. Thus the officers would
only supply SO much to each individual, and
this as before, pro rata. Under this rule the
traders soon began to send in fictitious lists
of persons, each claiming enormous amounts,
until the officers were at their wits ends,
and were forced to shut up the offices en-
tirely for some days. ....
This led the English Consul to protest,
whereupon the custom-house officers brought
him some of those extraordinary documents
which had been pouring in upon them for
anu thCJ hhON WI "SAl
were monstrous impOstions. The Consul
was shocked when he learned the extent of
the frauds attempted.
One of these papers was sent here by Mr..
Alcock, and was published in the North China
Herald. The demand for specie by the En-
glish traders of Yokuhama in one day
amounted to some thing over $4,000, 600, 900.
One small trader had demanded $6,0O0,000
There were long string of names, two-thirds
of which were fictitious; many of these names
were actually vulgar and insulting such as
am not at liberty to commit to paper. The
English Consul administered a severe but
deserved rebuke to the people who had at
tempted this disrespectful fraud. During all
this the japanese seem to have acted in good
taith and their conduct has been signal
rebuke to those Europeans who have been so
forward in condemnation of the japanese.
