The Rig of Vessels.

To the Editor of the Tactic Commercial AdUertiser:
DEAR SIR There are many persons, who do
not know the rig of n vessel when they see one,
and many others who misname them for that
reason I am induced to bring my feeble light to
bear, with the full knowledge that / lay myself
open to criticism mot from sea-fareing men, but
from Canal-boat sailors.
1 will commence with the si~ngle-masted vessel
a sloop-(and be it understood / speak only Of
American Vessels, )-then the two-masted, or fore
and-aft schooner the topsail schooner, with yards
on the foremost, but q fore-and-aft foresail the
hermophrodate brig yards on the foremost which
is short, and O square mainsail The Brigantine,
short foremast, long main mast, yards on both
masts, but a fore and aft mainsail brig, short
,oyer-masts, square foresail and mainsail bark.
three masts, yards on two, same as q brig, square
fore and mainsail, and q spanker on the mizzen
mast a ship, three masts, square foresail, mainsail
and cross jack.
Now 1 would like to ask a sailor why q yessel
Of say the rig of the Fdltinberg should be called
a barkentine? She is a t~hree-masted hermophrodite
brig. because she has square yards on her foremost
Where does the bark come in, because she has
three mssts? Then why not call a t~hree-masted
| fore-and-aft schooner, say like the Compeer, a
sloopentine. NAUTILUS.

Opium Asylum at Foochow-Treatment.
Can the victim Of opium-smoking be rescued
1t is commonly believed that. so terrible Is his APP
petite, he is beyond help and hope. The asylum
at Foochow has demonstrated the falsely OF thls
assertion. Connected with the hospital Of our mis-
sion. under charge Of DIR. Osgood, there is a sepa-
rate building for the treatment OF opium smokers,
where about sixty patients are received each
| month. In response to an inquiry as TO the
method of treatment. DIR. Osgood sends the follow
ing account Of bis practice for the last two years,
during which time about 500 cases have been
treated -
the use of opium from the beginning Of treatment.

be that the patient is below par. and
requires tonics. Quinine and ~tincture Of iron
have a prominent place in our list.

or less for the first three days, and should make
himself a prisoner for that time. by the fourth
day there Is usually marked Improvement.
