A LoNG-NEEDED IMPRovENRST.-Messrs
Alexander R. Shepherd 4 Brothers have just
81. k.l snNr &c tnNa ~
ington Asylum building on the banks Of the
Eastern Branch, and in this respect the asylum,
under the efficient management of Mr.. Joseph T
Hodgson, intendaut, will compare favorably with
any similar institution north or south. The
water Is conducted into the building through a
six.inoh pipe laid from the main water Pipe 4
few yards distant. Three water-closets are con.
veniently arranged on each floor Of the poor.
house side Of the building, and like number on
the work. house side. There has also been fur.
nished on each side Of the house two large bath.
ing tubs, through the use Of which the inmates
will be compelled to keep themselves in a state
of cleanliness. Tho dispensary, the commits
sioners room, and the iutsndant and matron' 6
rooms are each provided with large wash bowl,
where the Potomac water will always be at com.
mand. Each Of the cells have now conveniences
by which all excrement Is carried of to the
Eastern Branch. 1t WIS heretofore carried of
In buckets, which was both disagreeable and
IaboriOus, and decidedly unwhOlesome for th,
inmates Of the cells A large 6re.plug has been
put up in front Of the asylum, and one at each
end, by which the grounds Immediately sur.
rounding the building can be kept cleanly and
healthy. Tho job is done in tho most approved
and substantial manner, aud reflects much credit
on the firm who put up the work. The commits.
sioners are highly pleased, and tho physician,
DR.. McKim, asserts that nearly all the disease
that the asylum was visited with last year would
have passed harmlessly by had the institution
been in such good condition then as now. Mayor
Wallaoh deserves much praise for this good 70.
suit, as he urged strongly its completion.
The NEwsBoYs' HoME.-This institution,
located on Seventh street south, adjoining Ar.
mory Square, has been hourishing quietly, but
steadily. Tho Sunday school attached is one Of
the interesting attractions connected with 1t.
and the ladies Of our various churches have all
contributed their services in advancing the morals
OF the lads located in the building Miss Draper
and others of the M.street Methodist church,
have been particularly earnest and indefatigable
in their worthy and charitable labors and the
boys appear to appreciate their kindness. There
are not many In the home at present-twelve
being the number. In the bank In which they
deposit their money there are some OF the boxes
which show good cash balances, ono boy having
forty seven dollars to his credit. The building
is a substantial one, and fine garden 10 attached
to the premises from which the vegetables are
provided for table use. The boys have good
beds, ine bath room, and there Is every facility
afforded them for cleanliness. Mrs. Bliss is the
lady president Of the association, and Mrs Z
Stasts, matron. Under their charge and tn,
90. operation Of the lady managers with them
the NewsbOys' Home will always hourish-be
fixed institution, and worthy Of encouragement
from our charitably disposed citizens.
