The public have, as yet, had no direct
means of arriving at the truth in
regard to the condition Of those insane.
The Board of Directors never see these
things, neither do visitors. A few of
the patients who have influential rela-
tions, are carefully attended to. These
are conspicnously brought under the mo-
tice of visitors. Previous to the stated
meetings of the Board preparations are
made so that nothing may be discover
ed. Ordinary visitors are only allowed
to see certain parts of the institution.

Her bluo eyes shining bright.
While over her cheeks the dimples
Were chasing like beams Of light.
"Oh come 10 nv room. dear mother,
A curious thing Ia there
A painter has been at work all night,
In the cold and chilling air!
He has made me beautiful castle,
Far up on mountain high,
And forest of old and stately trees,
With branches that touch the sky.
They re all ON the window, mother,
The strange and beautiful things,
And thousand sparkling rainbows
The dear sun over them fings."

dreds of unemployed blacks lounging
{Bout the city. He was directed to one

With pans and kettles and jugs, waiting

them the highest wages paid agricultu-

10 go to work on any terms, alleging
that they were fed by the Bureau with

theSIeft Richmond they would lose their
right to vote So it is that we are
taxed to keep lazy negroes in idle

death by his own hands" before the sell
was discovered.

MIDNIGHT REPORT.
FROM CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.
All doubt of the loss Of the propeller
Hippocampus, with . crew and passenger
list numbering between fifty and sixty per-
sons, while on he. passage from St. Joseph,
Michigan. to this port on Monday night. has
been dispeiled. Yesterday morning offter
Dunbar and Capt. Anderson left this port
tor St. Joseph and Benton harbor, intending.
if possible, to discover some traces OF the
IN ssing vessel. Mr.. Dunbar steered directly
east-noltheast for distance of thirty three
miles, and there met with the wreck Ut the
Hippocampus. The hull Of the steamer had
evidently gone down, but her upper works
we're afoat in numerous parts. An indef-
mite numbar Of peach boxes and baskets and
other fragments Of her cargo we're also fioat>
ing on the surface Of the water, but not .
human being, dead or alive, could be found.
After cruising about some time, and finding
they could accomplish no good BY remainir 2
there longer, Capt. Anderson took on boa !
piece Of the wreck Of the pilot house and
proceeded to Benton harbor.
Mrs. Sophia Loche, charged with setting
fire to her residence at Hyde Park, on which
she had an insurance amounting to $4,000,
was to-day held for trial at the Circuit Court,
in bail Of $4,000. )
The steamer Geo. w. Nood, Whicu ieIt
here yesterday evening on cruise after the
lost steamer Hippocampus, arrived about s
p. IN. to-day. She discovered large quanti-
ties Of fragments of the vessel, and among
other things her hurricane deck, and it is
suppos d that some persons took refuge on
this and were taken of by sail vessel -
yet heard from.
One hundred and twenty-five thousand
baskets of peaches have been received and
mark eted here during the past seven days.
