Massachusetts Dirty Linen.

As the people Of Massachusetts, do not
scruple to wash their dirty linen in the
face Of the nation, they must expect to be
severely criticised by all who are not Of
their way of thinking. The Boston Com
monwealM not long since stated that
there was township not far from Plym-
outh Rock the inhabitants Of which were
so supremely Ignorant that they did not
know The name of the Deity except as a
curse; the Boston public institutions in
spectors charged conduct on the part of
officers who bad the care of the prisoners
and paupers which would have disgraced
the Hottentots; and now it appears by
che report of another commission that the
lunatics in Massachusetts, are treated with
persistent and most shameful cruelty
There are over one thousand insane per-
sons held in confinement by the public
authorities of that State who are yet with
out the slightest benefit of hospital treat
.ment. Drs. Hitchcock and Stover and Jo-
siah Quincy were the commissioners who
have laid the facts connected with this
disgraceful matter before the Legislature.
Among the instances of cruelty they cite
is the following:
"Under the inclined roof Of an out
building connected with poor-house, a
situation where the inmates must have
suffered intensely from cold in winter and
heat in summer, the commissioners found
u man and woman confined in what were
in fact cages, on the opposite side of a
narrow passage-way that led to a small
window in the gableend Of the building
There was no ventilation, and tho walls
and ceiling were foul with excrement. The
commissioners were informed that these
poor creatures have been kept there fol
years, with only the variety of being trans
ferred from one cage to another, when II
was necessary, in the language of their
keeper, I" to clean them out"
just think of this condition of things
in State which has the hub Of the uni
verse for its chief city.-N Y. World.

16rWANT OF HOUSES The scarcity of
dwelling houses is subject of complaint
among our citizens. We know of persons
who have been trying to rent dwelling
houses for months, but have not succeeded.
It strikes us that some gentlemen of means
and enterprise might do good thing for
the public interests and put money in
their purses, by building at once small and
convenient tenements for rent. Rents are
now very high, and the investment would
be good one. We are aware that in the
present rage of general improvement about
the city, labor and building material
are not to be had for nothing, but both
could be commanded for the purpose to
which we aIluGe, and whoever sets the ball
in motion will confer permanent benefit
upon the public and reap an appropriate
reward.

~THE FnR.-Lookiog in yesterday

BSFFHE FAlR.-Looking in yesterday
upon the Fair buildings, busy, but ex-
ceedipgly pleasant scene presented itself.
The main building having been completed,
Wreaths are being made and decorations
are being prepared by hundred fair and
industrious hands, while the lords of Gre
alton are saving. hammering, pounding
and digging away outside upon the new
buildings. All are working with deter
miuation to have the job completed by the
advertised time.
The Managers have made arrangements
to have the little Monitor, which attracted
30 much attention at Pittsburgh, exhibited
here, and pond is being prepared in the
prison yard in the rear of the Atheneum
for the purpose. The main building will
be occupied principally by the ladies'
booths. The building on the west side
will contain the curiosities and fine arts;
the building on the east side will be occu-
pied as the dining and floral hall, and the
house on the south side will be the con-
cert hall. Altogether, it will be won
derful repertorY of articles of use, orna-
meut, curiosity, relics, fine art produc-
tons, etc. We are aware that the sum of
money already subscribed is large, but the
army is enormous; the battles, marches,
skirmishes, ETC., are continual; the demand
for the services of the. Sanitary Commission
unceasing and widespread, and hence we
should not be satisfied with what we have
done until the close eff the Fair shall wit
ness an unprecedented pecuniary product.
Every dollar given to this purposei is nobly
bestowed, and will tell upon the fortunes
of the war. The thanks of the suffering
soldiers will everywhere roll up to the be.
neYolent citizens who have bestowed the
money. Wa say, therefore, to all concern
ed go on with the good work.
