Seventeen years havo passed since De-
vllle first produced aluminum on a com-
mercial scale; but tho expectations regard-
ing this very interesting and meritorious
Invention of the distinguished French
chemist havo not as yet been fulfilled. Al-
though many of those expectations were
somewhat exaggerated they were not so
unreasonable ns many pcoplo believed them
to bo ; for a metal with so many valuablo
properties would bo useful in many of
tho technical arts. Among theso
properties nro n beautiful color that docs
not chango hi tho air nor yet In sulphur-
ous exhalations and further rcmnrkablo
lightness nn ngreenblo resonance and n
capability of being worked into any shape.
Moreover in tho use or manipulation of
aluminum there have not hitherto been
observed any deleterious effects.
It is generally conceded that the cost
and not the absence of properties which
mako other metals valuable has prevented
the more extensive application of alumi-
num ; and the price although It was con-
siderably less than It was at llrst has re-
mained high for many years. Tho cost of
production of this metal which can only
be extracted by tho use of sodium cannot
possibly be tho only causo of its high
price ; for the commercial manufactr.re of
sodium may bo considered its a solved
problem ; and ns soda ash is very cheap
sodium might be produced at n moderate
cost If tho demand were greater than It is
Large production Is caused by large con-
sumption and tho use of aluminum has
been hitherto limited mainly because cus-
tom and use havo in a measure opposed
the introduction of such a novelty except
for fancy articles.
Stories have been told and written about
poisoning by cooking vessels mado of cop-
per by glazings containing lead and tho
formation of verdigris on spoons of (al-
loyed) silver; but If people were only de-
termined to produce these utensils from
aluminum all danger from poisoning
woidd be removed and thoy would have
vessels the appearance and durability of
which would leave scarcely any thing to
desire. They would be more convenient
to handle than our light crockery ware
for thoy can bo made as light and what is
important cannot bo broken. Splendid
pitchers plates goblet lamps etc. might
bo manufactured from deadened and em-
bossed aluminum; aud tho lightness of
spoons of this metal would make them
more convenient than those of silver now
In uc. In this case it is not the price but
only prejudice which presents itself as a
drawback for the price Is only half of that
of good silver ; besides the difl'orenco in
the specific weights of both metals and the
consequent cheapness lu tho uc of alumi-
num are so great thnt for the value of one
silver spoon at least seven equally large
aluminum spoons might be bought. True
aluminum is neither a rare nor n noble
metal; but It possesses nevertheless ad-
vantages over alloyed siher which give It
a lniicli finer appearance; It dues not gut
black nor does it form verdigris and what
it lacks in brilliancy and appearance is
well compensated for in its agreeable
lighlne.-s. But unfortunately it lias been
found iny)olblo to plate with aluminum
either by tho electro-galvanic or the foil
method. Scientific American.

Tho New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette writes :
Among those whom Governor Tiidcn
invited to attend tlio Bryant Reception
was A. T. Stewart who replied by a po-
lite note. IIo could not spare tho time.
In fact Stewart has not been to Albany
since he attended as a lobbyist in order to
prevent tlio lirondwny Railroad. Stewart
is 71 and being the owner of many milli-
ons might indulge in an easy mode of
life but such is not his disposition. This
leads mo to observe that New York eon-
tains a remarkable gronp of laborious old
men tollers con amore amateurs of work
whoso zest of life woidd bo lost without
the dally task. In addition to Stewart
there Is Moses Taylor who is nearly oftho
same ngo. IIo is President of the City
Bank and is worth 55000000 but ills np-
pllcatlon to business is of au unremitting
character. Commodore Vanderbllt at 80
mny be found dally at his ofllce. Tills is
not in the Grand Union Depot (his place
there being supplied by his son William)
but Is next to his residence in Fourth
Sheet a quiet and retired spot well suited
to a calculator. Tho front room is occu-
pied by a clerk and in tho rear ofllco the
Commodore receives special visitors and
goes through his daily duty. Ills library
of railway reports is well read and he lias
books of calculations upon transportion
snd all tho mlmitku of hla realm which
aro thoroughly studied. If ho omitted
tills ho would soon sink into dotage.
William B. As'tor who is more than 80
visits tho land ofllce every day and keeps
a clear view of his Immense estate al
though Its principal care Is In tho hands of
bis son John Jacob. George Law and
Daniel Drew aro now 70 and yet attend
to their usual engagements. Peter Cooper
Is 81 nnd yet calls himself a business man
nud has a privato ofllce lu the Institution
which lie founded where ho carries on
dally routine. Edward Mathews 73 is
eager for tenants to occupy ills suites of
ofllces near Wnll Street. Charles O'Conor
at 78 is still in legal practice though ho
objects of going before a jury. These
men woik in obedience to tho law of na-
ture which makes Industry essential to the
greatest amount of happiness. I may add
that all our millionaires (except a few who
inherited wealth) aro over 60.
Our oldest working pastor is four years
younger than Bryant. I refer to Stephen
II. Tyng rector of St. George's Church
who is soventy-llve. IIo still retains his
power to a rcmarkablo degree nnd Is nblo
to satisfy tho tastes of a critical congrega-
tion. In ids day of fullness Rector Tyng
was it model of pulpit eloquence llo has
now tlio mildness und not tho chill of old
age and what ho has lost In lire Is gained
In love. Tho next of our ministry in
point ot years is Vermllyc ot tho Reform
ed Dutch Chtircfi who is Tyng's Junior by
only three years. To theso Is to be added
tho once brilliant Samuel II. Cox who
though nearly eighty-four Mill occasion-
ally nppciirs in pulpit service.

Wo have receives! Intelligence from Bn-
tavla says the Friend of India regnnllng
the suflVrlngs of somo oftho survivors
from the British ship Kuxinc hound from
Shields to Aden which caught lire and
wns abandoned In the South Atlantic.
On tho 12th of Juno last tho Iron ship
Ktixluo sidled from Shield'! with a cargo
or coal nml n crow of thirty-two men nnd
excellent proilons. Every thing went
well until the Ud of August on which
date a storm tossed the vessel nbottt su vio-
lently that tho cargo was shifted to the
still hoard side onu man was wished over-
board nud considerable damage dono to
the sails nud rigging. All endeavors to
right her were fruitless nnd nfter large
quantities of tho coal had been thrown
overboard traces of lire were discovered.
Although every hatch and opening was
closed ns llchtly ns possible the llames
mndo such headway that on the 8th of the
same month the captain decided on aban
donlng his slilp. Thoy left in three boats
the captain and thirteen men lu tho long
boat the llrst mate nnd eight others In the
second nnd tbo second mnte nnd seven
seamen in the third.
It was known that St. Helena was 850
miles distant; nnd It was determined to
make for tho Island. During the first
night the. boat commanded by tho second
mate lost sight of the others nnd ntdawn
was alone upon tho wido ocean. Tho little
vessel was upon tho lifeboat principle
nbotit thirty feet long her sides being pro-
tected with n bulwark of sail cloth. She
had ten nlr-tlght cases two masts besides
a forcboom and carried a set of sails nnd
necessary cordage. The provisions com-
prised two cases of biscuits a ham a
cheese twelve tins of meat and two small
casks of drinking water.
By the ninth day tho mate camo to the
conclusion that ho had been steering- too
far to tho westward but as tho wind and
I Bca did not admit of any change being
made it wns decided to go on ns hereto-
fore in tlio hopo of meeting with n vessel
or reaching the coast of South America.
Tlie rations were diminished to half a bis-
cuit and a glass ot water once a day and
tints the 24th of August npproached with
no sign of rescue or land. On this date a
stiff breeze sprung up as darkness drew
on and at midnight while a man named
De Jagcr was at the helm and the rest
were asleep tho boat capsized nud Its oc
cupants suddenly found themselves strug
gling for their lives. How the accident
occurred is not known but it is surmised
thnt De Jagcr placed his charge against
tho wind as It is certain that he had al
ready threatened to "knock a hole in the
craft to put an end to tlio misery of all."
Anyway he "put an end" to himself
and another named Reynolds both sink-
ing notwithstanding help rendered them
by their fortunate comrades who had
found safety on the upturned keel. In the
morning the boat was righted but all the
food was gone. In order to prevent cap
sizing in future the masts were cut down
and only the small sail set so that the
boat might be steered right before the
wind. Hunger nnd thirst characterized
the day a Sunday a twenty-four
hours later it was agreed that lots should
be cast to see which of the number should
bo sacrificed for thcbcnctlt of the.rer.
maindcr.
Early on the same day one Muller after
drinking large quantities of salt water de-
clared that he oflered his body as food for
tbo others and entreated them to kill him.
Aftt-r a time we quote from the affi-
davit of James Archer second mate
Manns Schurt proposed that they should
cast lots who should fall as a sacrifice for
keeping the others alive. To this wo all
consented. Having no other means to
make a lottery wo lilt upon using small
sticks of different sizes deciding that the
ono who drew the smallest should be the
victim. After having made the sticks
ready I held them in my hand while the
others drew. On comparing them togeth
er I found that the Italian Francis Sliufiis
held the smallest stick. Having .also
agreed that the lottery should be thrice
repeated and thnt when It should then
prove that cither two or three of us had
drawn the shortest stick these should cast
lots among themselves so that the victim
might be singled out we found that the
samo man had for a second time picked
out the same object.
Francis Shufus when his turn came for
the third drawing hesitated to join and
would not draw upon which tho man
Sandstrom proposed ho woidd do It for
him. This he did and the shortest stick
was found in Sandstrom's hand. SliulUs
bore it with the greatest calmness and
showed the utmost resignation. He was
left nlonc for some two hours while he
now and then eagerly looked around the
horizon to see whether a sail could bo per-
ceived or any help would come. Wo stood
upon tho thwarts. Shufus prepared him-
self to meet his fate by praying or speak.
ing In Italian. IIo gave us no parting mes-
sage to bo sent to Ills friends most prob
ably as ho knew no more English than to
say "yes" and "no." Ills bcaringwas
that of n man whoso mind was made up.
Seeing wo were past help nnd fearing that
our hunger and thirst had grown beyond
endurance wo saw ourselves driven to sac-
rifice Shufus.
IIo laid down but beforo that.August
Midler had told him that ho would tako
his place and-dlo for him. Tills Shufus re
fused and laying himself down in tho
bottom of tho boat gave himself up to be
tied. Then ono man held an empty tin so
as to catch the blood. Muller on saying
that now some ono must die for tho
others passed tho knife around tiic man's
throat. Ho did not struggle or scream.
Tho blood was drank by us nil. Muller
then cut out his liver and heart. Theso
we cut Into btnall pieces and ate them
mixed with blood and salt water. At the
last moments of Shufus I was at tho helm.
Tho head and feet were thrown away
Tho truuk and limbs were put into one of
the air-tight tins of our boat which we bad
opened.
We continued on our way. It might
havo been 2 o'clock In tho afternoon when
the mnn Shufus died. Some three hours
afterward a ship was seen which perceiv-
ing tlio boat mado for us. This vessel
turned out to be the Java packet bound
for Amsterdam and her commander Cant.
