Stokes is still in the Sing Sing prison hospital, , with asthma,' and , chills and fever. W hen he'arriyed at the prison he was assigned to duty as clerk in the cigar manufactory, but on the following day he was taken to the hospital upon the recoramen uation ot Dr. James R. Wood , oi this city. J j Yesterdiy a Sun reporter ob tained permission troni he pris on .physician to enter the hospital. There are several bad cases of typhoid fever there," said the physician, and there have been several, cases of death in that room lately. I warn you in time. Will you go?" The reporter went. Four .convicts lay on cots near the door The physician thought that the fever would soon finish them. As the reporter glanced around the room he heard the familiar voice of Stokes s tying, " llelloo, old fellow ; come here." j Stokes wore tlie regulation bed tick shirt, and was tucked under three or four army blankets. Great God !" said he, after shaking hands with the reporter. "fisirt this an awful place ? 1 hink of it. Here I am kept in a room where there are ty"phoid fever pa- tionts. Last night two men were carried out dead. Oh, what I would give to get out of here. I hope 1 shall be well' enough next week' to go into one of the shops. I (had a terrible shake last night. Ijve had the chills and fever and asthma ever since I've been here. I haven't complained any, and will ask no favors." ' Stokes' face seemed flushed, and he said his eyesight was fai U himself in his bed, and while he was bolstered up and could look through the barred window, he said, " I wish I was out there." The reporter told him that Inger soll and Farrington had just ar rived in the prison. Stokes said in astonishment, " You (hurt sav so!" Then he .poke of Tweed, and how surprised he was when he heard that the Boss had been sent to Blackwell's island.. " Four years is a long time," jsaid he, 44 for me. The prisoii of- ticiais were taiKing otsenuing me to Clinton or Auburn prison." A convict said that the prison was being closed, and Stokes shook the reporter's hands warm ly, and looking at tlie typhoid fever patient said, Isn't it too bad to keep me here Sun. Sleep as a Medicine j The cry for rest has always been louder than the cry for food. Not that it is more important, but is often harder to obtain. The best rest coniesfrom sound sleep. Of two men or two women, other wise equal, the one who sleeps the best will be the most moral. healthy and efficient. Sleep will do mucn to cure lrruauiiiry oi temper, peevishness, uneasiness. It will restore to vigor an over- worked brain. It will Duilcl up and make strong a weary body. It will cure the headache. It will cure heartache. It will cure a broken spirit, it will cure sor row. Indeed we might make a long list of nervous and other maladies that sleep will cure jTbe cure of sleeplessness requires a clean, good bed, sufficient ex ercise to produce weariness, plea iit occupation, good air and not too warm a room, a clear jstoinach, a clear conscience,! and avoidance of stimulants and nar cotics. For those who arc over worked, haggard, nervous, who, has sleepless nights, we commend the adoption ot such habits as shall secure sleep; otherwise, life will be short, and what there is of it, sadly imperfect.

The announcement of the death of Professor Agassizwas made in our telegrahic columns yesterdny. Tlie event, though not unexpectetl, is none the less deplored, for wherever untiring energy in the pursuit of knivledge is admired, the loss of this brightest ornament of the scientific world wilLbe felt and lamented. J'' Louis John Rodolph Agassiz was born of French descent. His lineage for- six generation was most illustrious; not deriving its grandeur from any earthly monarch I ut from the Heavenly Father, Whose priests and minis ters his six immediate ancestor were. Louis was born the 28th day May, 1807, in the valley be tween the Lake of Neufehatel and Morat, in Switzerland. Like all truly great men, his mother was a womaM of uncommon intelli gence, md she conducted- his ea rly e J u ca tion , a nd ga ve th e i m press of her talents and energy upon his mind. up to 1S-I6; Agassiz s life was passed in Europe. He had de voted himself with untiring in dustry to scientific pursuit, and was the author of several works on natural science. His reputa tion was erreat, and in various journeys throughout -bnglanu, Germany, and r ranee, he was welcomed by tlie inost eminent persons in those countries. In 184G he came .to. this country on a mission to learn something of .i-i. i ki-a. .. . Meeting with Professor A. D. Baehe, of the United States Coast Survey, he was, invited to accom pany its operations from Maine to Texas. The advantages of the oli'er were so great that Agassiz accepted it, and determined to make our country his home. It is impossible within ,the limits of this aiticle to give the briefest account of the labors of this great man. His researches and scien tific explorations have led him to every part of the United States. Endowed with -:i great, physical power, he was eminently adapted for the career he .selected.- The influence of his investigations and publications, esnecially those relating to the uniteu- states, is penetrating and profound. His example and teachings have cal led into action a, large number of men whose enthusiasm for scien tific achievements is leading them through all obstacles to science. And, although, his body is laid in the grave, vet his fame upon earth has made his memory as immor tal at his soul which has returned to its Maker.- The Turks understand the cA; on oi of makiuir cotToe better even than the French. They do not irrind tli3 berry in a mill, but pound it in a mill, but pound it in mortars, and in course of time these mortars, which are used for no other purpose, become highly impregnated with oil from the bean, and are held in great value, descending as heir-looms from one generation to another, liril-lat-Savarin thus records the re sult of an experiment as to the comparative merits of the liquid made from the pounded and grou nd berry : "I roasted" with care." he says, ua pound of giod Mocha cottec, and Separated it into equal jor tions, one of which was ground, and the other pounded in the manner of the Turks, I made coflee with both one anl other or these jxnvders, taking an ential weiirlit ot each, pemring ou each an euual portion of loiling water, and in all respects dealing eonallv with them. I tasted these wfiees, an caused them to be tasted by the best judges, and the unanimous opinion was that the !inLnidprodnced from the pow- NO. 4S. dered was evidently superior to the produce of the ground coffee," Soyer's mode of making cbflce is worthy of note, ne puts the dry coffee into he pot, placet it 1 over the fire, stirs it while heat ing then pours the boiling Water over it, which is a quart to one ounce of coflee, imd sets the pot where it will be kept liot, but will not boil.

In all circum- , stances, as a man is, under God, the master of his own mind The Creator has constituted 'the' ' human intellect that it can only r grow by its own action; aiid by its own action and free will, it will certainly and necessarily grow. Every man must, there- fore, educate hinsclf. His book ' and teacher are but helps; the '"' work is his. A man is not cdu cated until he has the ability to summon, in an emergency, all (his mental powers in vigorous excr- ' ciseto affect its proposed object. It is not the man who has seen ; most, or read most, who can do this ; such a one is in danger of being borne down like a beast of ' bunlen, by an overloaded mass of 1 other men's thoughts. Nor is it ; in the hi an who can boast of na- ' five vigor and capacity. Tho greatest of all , warriors in the seige of Troy had not the pre eminence because nature had giv en hi ni strength and he ' carried ' the longest bow but because selfc1 discipline had taught him how to j beud it. Danlei Webster. , v, mm 4m m Sailed Wood. It is a curious fact, and one of great practical importance in. 8trhcturai science, that in tho salt mines of Poland and Hunga ry the galleries are supported by wooden pillars, which are found to last unimpaired for ages, in consequence of being impregna tetl Willi sail, w.uue pinar ui brick and stone, used for .the game purpose, crumble away in a short time by the decay of their nortar.
