A SHORT CHAPTER ON SLEEP.-If one only thinks of
it, says the Brooklyn Eagle, sleep in great city ia
queer thing. Think of fifty thousand in this city all
sleeping at once. Fifty thousand in tiers, one, two,
three, four, five deep-from celer to garnet. Fifty
thousand in rows mile long Fifty thousand in red
night caps-tasseled and untasseIed. Ten thousand
in dingy ones that uere white Mondays and Mondays
ago. Five thousand in sken Some edged
beautifully; some hemmed with sail needle, and
some uncapped altogether, with locks disheveed'
and ruted like 'qulls upon the fretful porcupne.'
Five thousand snoring alto, five thousand snoring
bass. Five thousand under rags. Twenty thousand
under calico. A hundred so beneath silk Some
weeping, smiling in their dreams, others dream
less as the grave. Ringlets twisted up in cigar light
ers-tresses streaming the pilow-no tresses at
all. Some writing under oyster supper nightmares,
chased in imagination by Salem witches with snaky
bIoomstcks, creditors with judgments and scarlet
flags, Others enjoying beautifc visions,
Now melting IN mists and now breaking il gleams
Like the glmpses saint has of heaven in his dreams
Sleep the sweet restorer. equalises the condition
of folks wonderfully. The sewing girl enjoys an i'm
agnary sleigh ride, drawn by the seeds OF Morpheus,
and dances with nice young men, in ball rooms where
the floor manageri is MIR. Nod while the heress, may
hap, bewas sick lap dog or spoiled silk dress.
Give US pleasant dreams, and one half of lives
will wear golden tnge, while we forget that the
other is spent in scrapng together the wherewithal
to meet the demands oflandords and butchers bills
Our life is TWO fod Byron hath it, and sleep has
its own word

And our little life is rounded by sleep"

THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT ASSOCIATION
On Thursday last election was held at the Civ

Washington Monument Association. No one dream.
ed of opposition to the old Officers and board MANY
of them had served from the first organization of the
association and all of them gentlemen of the
highest character. and enjoyed to the fullest extent
the public confidence. They had devoted their time
and attention 10 the erection of the Monument with
out compensation, from pure and holy spirit of pa.
triotlsm. No change bad ever been brought against
them, of Interpretation of the funds or want of
assiduiy in the discharge of their duties Indeed,
such was the confidence of the community in them.

selves of the day of election, or if they happened to
observe in tho papers notice of it, they did not deem
il worth while 10 vote, taking ii for granted that the
old officers and board would be reelected It is be-

taken place, more than twenty votes were ever cast

secret midnight meetings, to surprise the community

RAILROADS are spreading everywhere. real un-
dergound line has been projected in London, the OBJ
ject of which is to connect the various lines of rail-
roads and the post Office; and is to cost five mil
lions of dollars. Even Egypt now rejoices in the new
mode OF communication. AT Alexandria the traveller
meets regular omnibusses that take him to regular
rail depot; here the overland communication with In
da has so far progressed that he finds fine English
made cars cushioned in the neatest STYLE which take
him seventy miles to the Nile: and the remainder Of
the route between Alexandria and Cairo in the pro
cess OF construction. The Arabs make queer work at
the depot Boston merchant at Alexandria, Jan. l..

to get the freight out of the the barge There
were about hundred of these Arab Iaborers. They
could not move heavy package without great
noise Of tongue, and then several head men stood by
with whips and sticks to give a rap or slash when
they did not move fast enough, The most of them
wear long flowing dresses, just the most inconvenient
things in the world to do any kind of labor in, for
half the time hand employed to keep the
dress out OF the way of their legs.
