The soldiers Asylum Located
DaY1On the Place Selected.

The public spirited people of Mont
gomery county will be gratified to learn
that after almost infinite. difficulty, Hon.
Lewis b. Gunckel, manfully sustained by
few enterprising citizens, has at last sue
ceeded in securing the location of the Sol
diers' National Asylum, in this immediate
vicinity. The committee appointed by the
Executive Board were unanimously of the
opinion that the vicinity of Dayton was
the best location, and by resolution author
lied its establishment here, provided, how
ever, that the conditions heretofore named
are fulfilled. One of these conditions was,
that 400 acres of land of suitable character,
adjacent to the city, should be ceded to the
Asylum at $113 per acre.
1t seems that the land west of the city,
originally selected by the committee, can
not now be had at that figure, the propri-
etors having unaceountably determined to
demand higher price than that agreed
upon. We are glad to hear, however, that
another site in different direction from
the city, equally eligible in every respect,
and nearer the stone quarries, can be had
at that price. So that, while the public
may be reasonably sure of the location of
the Asylum in this vicinity, and may enjoy
the great advantage which the competitors
of Dayton have appreciated better than
some of our fellow citizens, it may not be
placed where it was originally intended to
be erected.

The Horrors ola New Jersey Poor
House.

1 New jersey almshouses must be great
er terror to- paupers than its prisons are
to evil-doers. In one of those cheerful in
stitutions at Patterson the most outrageous
system of brutality has prevailed for some
time. and is now just coming to light
through the affidaVits of some of the suf-
ferers. One poor woman tells a story which!
brings an exclamation of horror to every
lip. She was in the almshouse during her
confinement, with her son, about two years
old, and while prostrated with weakness
was unable to procure the washing of the
baby's clothes or any adequate attendance.
Her boy also was sick. and so far from hay-
ing appropriate food, was allowed but two
crackers and little watery milk day by
the keeper. When the feeble woman was
able to crawl into the kitchen she did so to
obtain, if possible, some food for her sick
boy, who was crying with hunger. The
keeper met her, and threatened her with
the lookup if she ever attempted to take
more than the rules allowed. Fourteen
soda crackers were dealt out every Satur-
day to last through the week. On Monday
some other starving children stole and ate
The whole remaining store-six crackers
not very hearty meal. None We're left
for the four days remaining, and all that
day the child starved without his pitiful
allowance, the keeper refusing to give him
any more. The poor mother cried herself.

to her child. Another woman, German,
who is insane, ventured to disobey, through
misunderstanding, a trivial order of the
matron about keeping her seat at the table,
whereupon the keeper, whose name is Sig

most numerically. As the affidavit says,
.her screams were awful" One of the in
mates of this Andersonville is an interest

crippled so that she cannot move without
assistance. This girl is kept on an allow
ance of two meals day, in a perpetual
state of hunger, unless some friend steals
bit of bread and takes it to her at the risk
of beating. This is economy with ven

his fathers dinner. OF course the boy had
a.dog. Boy stopped by the side of a build

OF cigar in one hand lighted match with
the other. After numerous attempts to
start the cigar, he was finally successful,
and smoke began to issue out from the
boys mouth about the same time pro-
visions began to issue from the basket, into
the dogs mouth. Cigar being lighted, boy
turned around and saw dog just going in
for another mouthfGl. Boy yelled "git-
o u-t!" and aimed a terrible kick at the
dogs head. The kick missed the dog, but
hit the basket, and contents were flying
into the street. Having witnessed the
scene quietly thus asked him what he had
lost from the basket. He replied, ''the old
mans dinner" l then asked him what his
father would do now for dinner. Boy said,
''don't know" / told him l thought
he didn't know much anyhow. "Wall, i"
