Insane Asylum-S. D. Hastings and DR..
Norstrand.

The Legislature usually appoints
committees 10 visit the several Asy-
lums of the State and investigate
their management-of course such
committees consisting of members.
Now, it SO further happens that
such reports nearly always amount
to nothing more than tusome praises
Of the managers, for the very good
reason that members of Legislature
are hardly ever competent enough in
business matters for oyerhanling
books and papers, and of making full
investigations of the business and
management of these Asylums. The
people hardly ever elect thorough
business men to the legislature
those who have the independence to
speak and act and fear nobody
The right men for legislators are
usually quite unpopular. The wrong
men are generally popular and moth,
ing but popular.
Well, for several years il has been
suspected by the Masters of the In
sane Asylum that the institution was
being managed in the interest of one
DR.. Norstrand, the Superintendent.
The Doctor is great on winning ways
and has always known how to mans
age these investigating committees.
Great snppers and balls were among
his means of entertaining committees
and visiting parties. He was a good
and jolly fellow, could tell yarns,
and entertain company in charming
style.
At length the Trustees appointed
a committee just about as unlike any
legislative committee as could be
found we mean that they consisted
of men who were as indifferent to
DR.. Norstrand's batteries as to his
cunning. They went right to work
overhauling, just as if DR., N. was
any other man, aud with view to
set things right side up. S. D. Hast,
ings was the chief man on that com
ultIco, anu LIS TcpOfI las 30 sHoWH
up the Doctor that he has since re-
signed, doubtless 30 avoid going out
heels over head.
Senator III. u. Webb, one Of the
Trustees, but not a reliable authority
we admit-yet capable Of expressing
right opinions, lately wrote that DR..
Norstrand always seemed to have
more fondness for fine horses, cattle
and swine than sympathy for the un-
fortunate human beings under his
charge" Also, Il am of the opinion
that he is cold, heartless and mer-
cenary man, governed by his feelings,
many of which are the fruits Of bad
passions
The committee show that the pa
tients were cuffed, slapped, kicked,
struck and choked. They also show
that the accounts were kept in way
to arouse suspicious of dishonesty.
The report of Hastings, in the
shape of an address, merits for HIM
the public thanks and especially the
kind regards of the charitable public.

err the evening before Mr.. Haight

After making a pretty thorough

found, in the opposite direction be-

numerous class, who had often great
deal that they might say, but who
could not or did not like to say it

liable service in forming and guild

who, having nothing to say, saidit on
many occasions and at considerable

Before and After.

Before General Grant was nomin>
ated, the New York World spoke OF
him in the following complimentary
terms
General Grants history should
teach us to discriminate better than
we Americans are apt to do between
glitter and solid worth.
"When the mass ofmen look upon
such a character they may learn q
truer respect for themselS - and each
other they are taught by it that
high qualities and great abilities are
consistent with, the simplicity oftaste,
contempt for parade, and plainness of
manners, with which direct and ear
nest men have a strong natural SYM
pathy."
The World after the nomination
"Grantis probably the weakest
man, Intellectually, ever nominated
by either party for the Presidency"
The question of a mans intellectual
capacities, according to the Worlds
logic, depends entirely upon which
party puts him in nomination.

THE LITTLE ROBE OF WHITE.

In a rosewood cradle n baby lay;
Its mother stitching, stitching away
On little robe Of white.
One foot on the rocker, she hoped to keep
Her frolicsome baby fast asleep.
To finish her work that night
In every stitch Of that garment she wrought
That loving mother fastened thought
Hopes for that little one -
And smiled on her baby in happy pride
AS it slept In its cradle by her side
Till the little robe was done.
Then she folded up the uambric and lrce
And kissed the little ones chubby face
That smiled ia its infant glee.
She tossed 1t up and down in the air
Vow pretty you'll look, little babe, when you
That new little robe, said she.
Ia & rose wood ccifn the baby lay
It's mother had wept the night away
Watching its dying breath.
With it pressed to her bosom she prayed 10 keep
Her darling baby from going to sleep
In the cold, cold arms OF death
They bur led the babe in the garment just wrought
Whose every stitch had hopeful thought.
From that loving mothers sight
On a marble stone she wrote with q tear
How many hopes are buried here
In that little robe of white -
In the Saviour's arms baby lay.
From its rosewood coffin far away
In the realms OF love aud light
The angels garment had folded about
Its little form, which will never wear out
seamless robe of whitel

ES Miss Merla Rye has just

A LITTLE MUTE Boy CAST UPol

A LITTLE MUTE Boy CAST UPON
THE WoRLD.-On Thursday night
the train from New York took to
Troy a little deaf and dumb boy,
who was sent by the conductor to the
Troy House with note saying the
lads father would arrive in the boat
the next morning, and also directing
that the hotel porter should take the
boy to the boat to pick out his fath>
er, as the latter did not know where
to lind his SOD on arriving. The boy
was kept over night, and the next
morning sent TO the boat. The faith
er did not arrive, and the little fell
low was brought back to the hotel,
where he soon grew uneasy and be-
gan to cry. Various expedients
were resorted to to please aud amuse
him, until finally q gentleman of
Troy, whose little son is also mute,
came up and took the stranger TO his
house, where he has since remained,
/" as happy as the day is long" But
the father has not yet arrived, and
the fear is expressed that the poor
lad may have been deserted by his
parents.
