REPORT OF THE INSANE ASYLUM. L.
The Sacramento correspondent of the s.
f. Bulletin, gives the following summary
notice of the Annual Report of the Res
ident Physician and Board of Trustees
of the State Insane Asylum The Re-
port was made to the Legislature on
Wednesday, but it has not yet been prin-
ted
Number of patients turned over to DR..
Ayette by the former Superintendent, in
August last, 1872; number. admitted
since, sc; total, 246. OF these, I have
died, So beeu discharged, 5 eloped, and
1873 remained in the Institution. There
are 81 females in the asylum, from va
riety of nations, of all colors, and from
every position in life. They are all asse-
ciated together The Superintendent
condemns, IN srrong terms, this practice
Of associating the virtuous with the VI
cious, and asks for an appropriation for
the enlargement of the present buildings.
The excess OF admittance over discharges
for the FIVE months ending December 3lst
1857, Is 26. The increase of patients
Keeps fully up to the increase of popula-
ton of the State. The cost of each pa,
tient to the State, is 1925 50 per year
In New York the expense is SS7 II;
Rhode Island, S195; South Carolina,
SlS6 50; New jersey, S1S1 90; Vir-
ginia, $l43 20. Average in these FIVE
States, $l79 or a little more than one
half what it is here. The Superintend-
ent thinks this very fair showing.
The Superintendent asks an approTri
alton of S72, 1000 to defray the current
expenses of the institution during the
year 1858; Sl6,4S0 to pay off its indebt-
edncss, and the erection of additional
buildings, and substantial brick wall
around the grounds of the asylum. Du-
ring the year just closed / 800 trees and
shrubs have been planted, and SO acres
sown in wheat and barley the two latter
articles will save heavy expense to the
State, and the cultivation afford healthful
and pleasing exercise TO the PATIENTS
The Superintendent recommends the es-
tablishment of farm, dairy, and gar
den, and thinks that Sc, GOO year might
thus be saved to the State He also rec
ommends an increase in the pay and
number of the keepers. There should
be at least one guard to twenty patients;
In France, in the best asylums, there is
allowed one keeper to every ten patients,
and experience has shown that that allow
ance Is not too great.

Hon. JAMES l.. ORR.-The new
Speaker of the House, Col James l..
Orr, is not yet forty years of age He
has served IN Congress from the Ander-
son (S. C.) district, some eight years.
His character in the popular branch of
congress has always been the highest
lie IS thoroughbred parliamentarian,
and has always won the respect of the
country by fairness to his opponents and
fidelity to his friends. Although more
than usually attached to his own party
and to his own section, the general JUS
tice of his course and the open frankness
of his nature have always given him
much influence over his political adver-
saries. Col. Orr belongs neither to the
extreme nor the anti-extreme section of
the Southern Democrats. He lives in
South Carolina, and while not identified
with many who make sectional devotion
to the South their standard, SO is he not
identified with those who think assaults
upon such men the best policy He is a
true and indeed national man. We
speak this of Col. Orr with no design of
flattering him. He does not agree with
us on the present phase of the Kansas
question, and we have differed before like
men but he is the right sort of mate
rial for the place he occupies, and if ne
cares to do 50, must Eli an important
niche in the future political history of the
country. Forneys Press.

a SERGEANT's ELoQUENcE-The e fol-
lowing is given by one of the English
papers as an actual speech delivered by
one of the recruiting sergeants during the
late exertion for enlistng for India. If
it were so, we can only say that the SER
geant had once been in profession which
gave him more opportunities for the
study of rhetoric than military tactics:
" Englishmen !. You who have strong
arms and stout hearts, have you not heard
the dying wall Of your outraged country
men, calling upon you to be cupand avengc
them? You that have sisters and sweet
hearts that you love, can you hear that
hundreds upon hundreds as fair as they,
have been given up to treatment worse than
death, and been put to death with all the
ingenuitles of torture that he'll can devise,
and then hesitate2 Can you unmoyed
listen to their agonized shrieks, and hear
the cry of their poor babes? Arise, Eng
llshmen Lay down your sickles, for
your work is done, and cold winter comes
upon you. Take up the bayonct of good
British steel, aud 90 forth to reap har-
vest of vengeance upon the cowardly mis-
crcants who roam over the fair land of
India, laden with the spoil and red with

THE MOTHER S INFLUENCE. E.-The solid
rock which turns the edge Of the chiscl,
bears forever the impress of the leaf and
the acorn, received long; long since, ere
it had become hardened by time and the
elements. If we trace back to its fountain
the mighty torrent which fertilizes with
its copious streams, or sweeps over it with
a devastating food, we shall find it drip
ping in crystal drops from some messy
crevice among the distant hills !; so, too
the gentle feelings and affections that en-
rich and adorn the heart, and the mighty
passions that sweep away all the barriers
of the soul and desolate society. may have
sprung up in the infant bosom in the
sheltered retirement of home. "I should
have been an atheist" said John RAN
dolph, "if it had not been for enc recol-
lection; and that was the memory of
the time when my departed mother used
to take my little hands in hers, and caused
me on my knees to say Our Father.
