boarder the Albany county Jail has ac-
commodated for some years is a present
guest. Frank Sherwin, the ex-broker
and Observation-Disclosures, His handsome
wife has her apartments at the Ken
more, and visits the jail daily. Sher-
win himself has his meals supplied from
the ~jailer's table, and lives in sunptuous
style, waited on constantly by his col
ored servant who has been faithfully at
tending him in his wanderings and I'M
dertakings during the last dozen years,
even in bis adventures in Egypt. Sher-
win takes his incarceration coolly, not
withstanding the asserted determine
ton of ex-District Attorney Moak to
land him in the p~enitentiary. With
plenty of money he is we'll supplied
with all the leading journals, and has
won the good will of the officials at the
jail. The faithfulness Of his colored
companion is remarkab e. Though un-
educated he uses elegant language, and
entertains those around the jail witt
comprehensive and ensert ming de-
scriptions of his trave 8; but not q sem
tence has been known TO pass his lips
that could in any q injure his m lister.

DREAM LAND.

Where sunless rivers weep
Their waves into the deep,
She sleeps a charmed sleep;
Awake her no.
Led by a single star,
She came from very "a
To seek where shadows are
Her pleasant lot.
She left the rosy morn,
She left the fields of corn,
For twilight cold and lorn
And water springs.
Through sleep, as through a veil,
She sees the sky look pale,
And hears the nightingale
That sadly sings.
Rest, rest, a perfect rest
Shed over brow and breast;
Her face is toward the west,
The purple land.
She cannot see the grain ,
Ripening on hill and plain;
She cannot see the rain
Upon her hand.
Rest, rest, for evermore
Upon q messy shore;
Rest, rest at the hearts core
Till time shall cease;
Sleep that no pain shall wake;
Night that no morn shall break
Till Joy shall overtake
Her perfect peace.

Of his researches regarding the manner
in which coal has been formed. He had
examined with the microscope not less
than $500 sections of coal, and'Ahd come
to the conclusion that coal had not been
formed by the alteration Of accumulated
land plants, but that it consisted Of mi
croscopic forms of lower order of pro-
toplasm, and although he had carefully
examined the cells and other remains Of
plants of higher order. he computed
that they had contributed only Attraction

ALUMINIUM is likely to become a
useful and much used metal. The
cost of production has already been
greatly reduced, and new discor-
cry has been made.by Mr.. Webster,
Of Hollywood, England, by which
the metal can be produced at a small
cost, and will be available for COM
mon uses. If the new discovery
effects all that is announced in
England, it is difficult to calculate
its value, or the rapid changes it
viii work in the appearance and
implements of daily life. It would
supplant copper as a shield for YES
sells, and would not have the great
disadvantage from eorroding which
the metal now in common use does.
1t would be used for household
utensils in place of tin, and would
have the advantage Of being
stronger and considerably lighter.
The inventor has devoted a great
number of years to the study of the
cheaper production Of the metal,
but if he has succeeded in making
it cheap enough for ordinary use, he
viii have conferred a benefit which
VIII more than repay him fer his
years Of toll.

Carlisle to promise that he would
