Mr.. John T Simons clerk OF the committee went
with Mt Townsend, the counsel Of the committee TO
Sing Sing, and compared the list OF convictions and
sentences with those Of the convics recorded the
State Prison book, and found that large number OF
prisoners duly sentenced TO the State Prison never
reached that beautiful abode; these lucky prisoners
were Martin Lyons Jr., sentenced on February IL,
1873, for felonous assault to two years and
six months; Michael 0'Ncl, sentenced September IL
1878, for petit larceny TO two years. James Brennan,
sentenced on October g. 1873, for ten years; Chris
opher Gallagher sentenced on December ls 1873 for
elonious assault TO years and six months; Peter
Mclaughlin sentenced on February 8, 1874; Edward
McCabo, on October TO- 1874; Frederick Hamburger,

grand larceny to two years and months by Recorder

TO be taken TO sing sing Mr.. Quinn said that daily
receipts were taken, but they we're destroyed. No
record was made in the Tombs Of the dav when the
prisoners left for Sing Sing, and Mr. QUINN after good
deal Of hard questioning admitted that it would be
better TO keep such record AS IL was there was no
way OF telling whether prisoner who never
reached Sing sing escaped before or after he left the
Tombs.
Mr., Townsend ransackcd among the enormous heap
Of Indictment papers before hun and found that some
were marked with state Prison sentences while the
ombs returns showed that these had been changed

technical discrepancies in the papers In March, 1874

LIFT HIM UP.

Lying so low in the gutter,
Degraded and black with sin,
With garments tattered and filthy
More shattered and foul within.
His face had grown ugly and brutal,
And lost is each trace divine;
The reign of his passions has made him
Companion alone for the swine.
"IIc is too far gone" they tell us,
All they who pass him by;
Impossible now to reach him."
So he is left to die.
He was once somebody's darling
That man so degraded and vile,
And the heart OF some one that loved him
Was once made glad by his smile.
Those lips that now breathe but cursing,
n mothers kiss once pressed,
And that hair, once soft and golden,
A sisters hand carcssed.
Those eyes, now blear and soulless,
Once lighted by loves bright glow,
And the fire of the soul within them
Burned with thoughts that angels know.
Let your tear-drops fall, of pity, ..
Upon those tlarkened leaves,
Resting here" Possible all things
All, ito him that believes
Friends of temperance, this yonr mission.
Strong in loves power to save,
With sympathy earnest, untiring,
Go. bring him up from the grave

ZINC IN COOKING UTENSILS.

Much care and caution should be ex-
ercised by cooks and housewives in u.s.
ing cooking utensils lined with zinc.
The Iron Age says: Zinc is not a;metal
which can safely be used for lining
cooking utensils. In its pure metallic
state, zinc is not poisonous, but several
OF its compounds are prejudicial to
health or fatal to life, according to the
quantity taken into the system. The
zinc of commerce, which is seldom pure.
and often contains both lead and arse
mic, forms various unwholesome COM
pounds when subjected to the action of
acid and heat. Many of the vegetable
acids are very powerful in their action
on metals, aud zinc, even when pure,
is but little calculated to resist their
corroding action. In any acid, when
iron is present, zinc becomes the sacri-
fetal metal and is dissolved, thus set
ting up galvanic action, by the aid of
which any acid, and by solution of
any common salt in water, will attack
it and cat it away with greater or less
rapidity, according to circumstances.
AaSAO oAS oo hAn1J 'OsoOt1UAo uClun Wu1Cp
are so complex in themselves and in
their reactions, that we cannot here en-
ter upon q consideration of the COM
pounds which zinc would form under
the circumstances indicated by our cor
respondent. Tin, though not entirely
free from these objections, is altogether
safer metal than zinc as an inside
coating for cooking utensils, and in
some respects better even than vitreous
enamel. While the enamel lasts, it is
probably the best substance which can
he employed for this purpose, but it
cracks with the contraction and expan-
sion OF the metal to which it adheres,
and these cracks become filled with
matter which cannot fail, in time, to rem
der unwholesome whatever is brought
into contact with it during the opera
ton of cooking. With recent progress
in the manufacture of enamels, we seem
to be approaching a degree of perfec-
ton in the art which will give US SUBJ
stance both elastic and insoluable, and
which will answer this purpose admir-
ably. d, .
