The Legislature ought, at the present
session, to supplement those we have now
by school for the feeble-minded, and
thus leave no class unprovided for.
There ought, also, to be a state board of
charities and reform, to have in hand the
duty of frequently inspecting our institu-
lions, and giving yearly report to the
Legislature. 1t will come in time.

T sEcRETARY's REPoRT-CoNcLUDED.

The comparative proportion of insane
to the total population will appear from
the following statements: 1850, one to
every 1865; 1860, one to every asia
1870, one to every 1923 persons.
The principle statistics Of the census
have already been published and need
not be repeated here AS the Secretary
says: "a very large and gratifying in
crease in the productions of agriculture,
compared with the statistics of 1860, will
be observed. The amount of wheat pro
duced to each inhabitant in 1850, was
2010 bushels; the amount of wheat pro.
duced to each inhabitant in 1870, was "a
bushels-showing a gain of nearly 81 per
cent" The increase in the manufacturing
industry of the State during the same
period is greater still, the number of es-
adjustments in 1860 being 1908, with
1914 hands employed and products
valued at $27, 849, 467; while in 1870 there
are reported 7,136 establishments, with
39,955 hands, and products valued at
$85, 1924, 966, showing an increase in estao-
lishments of 1912, of hands Of 23,641, of
products of $57,775,499. The following

A PARDON


was given yesterday by the Governor to
Henry Boebel, of Milwaukee, who was i'll
for life for shooting man who attacked
his crippled brother. Since he has been
here his conduct has, in every particular,
been unexceptionable. He had the full
confidence of the officers and the respect
of the prisoners. The Governor has been
investigating his case for nearly year
and a half, and has received application
after application from the best men of
the state in behalf of the pardon. After
the fullest examination of the case, he
concluded it to be his duty to issue the
pardon. He accordingly called Boebel in
and made him free man, and there was
JOY in the prison. All the prisoners were
glad, the officers were glad, the visitors
were glad, and Boebel was ,jubilant
he could not sleep. Who could
sleep to be raised thus from
she dead, or brought once more to
ifcand children and friends from this
living tomb? Tue Gpvunoc did
proper thing in this pardon He was
besiegeo by prisoner after prisoner, as be
passed through, begging in piteous tones
that wrung the stoutest heart, for Gods
sake to let them go free and to sin no
more.

the demi monde, was born in the city oi

Gath year. Her family is we'll known in
Augusta. Her parents determined tlai
she should nave a superior education.
scut her to the Convent of the Sacred
Heart in Montreal, from which inetitu
ton she graduated with honor. In au
evil hour she fell into the fangs of the
destroyer, and too proud to bury her
shame in tears of penitence and contri.
ton, she pursued the downward path Of
degradation until her once pure nalno be-
came the symbol of reproach. AS a wo
man Of the town she is we'll known.
In her manners she is said to be very
attractive, as q: conversationalist univcr-
sally pleasing, and her features, in spite
of the life she has led for years are re-
ported to he undeniably attractive. Un-
der other circumstances she would have
been idolized as u favored member of SO.

her reverence" She remarked yester-

THE CAUSE OF THE ATTAcK MADE UPON
Some time ago Mr.. John A. Staley, a
man advanced in years, aud the husband
Of the person who made the assault, in
his capacity of agent, had the letting Of
the house in which Mr.. Forgarty lives.
While collecting rents he fell in with
Sue Hungerford, and formed her ac-
quaintance. Sue did not object, it was
her vocation. He neglected his lawful
wife for her, and eventually Mrs. Staley
was informed that Sue had had a child

brooded over her deep wrong, until mad
dened with desperation, she resolved to

The most beautiful girl in the United
States lives near Lincoln, I'll. Her hair
is of that particular hue that is a field Ct
ripe wheat thrown toward the setting sun.
Her eyes send forth n light so cffulgent
and magnetic that strangers become
spcll-bound under its influence and stand
rudely gazing. Her checks bear bloom
like the sunny side of an early peach.
A pearl would seem almost black beside
her teeth. Her form is so graceful that
men worship her before seeing face.
Her hands suggest the idea of waxen
fingers tipped with vernlilion. Her
smile seems actually to illuminate her
presence, and when she laughs the lis
toner fancies he hears sweet music in the
distance.

SUBSEQUENT PROCEEDINGS.

30 soon as tho facts in the above case
became generally known, a warrant was
issued by Justice s. Elsinger for the ar
rest of Mrs. Jane Stnley, who was subse-
quently released on bail to tho amount
$4,000, to appear whenever called upon
to answer for the offence. Her bonds
men were her husband, John A. Stalcy,
Robert II. Tatem and Col. j. f. Pelot.
The arrest ySs wa1s by officers Kaai;
mnu and Fox. tn the, meantime the
condition of the wounded girl is indeed
critical. She has lost a great deal of
blood, and at times finds great difficulty
in respirins from the first stab she re-
ccivcd, which has probably passed d.
rectly through the lung. Yesterday af-
ternoo she suffered acutely, having
three spasms, one after the other.

one corner of the room was deposited the
pile of clothing that she wore at the
time tho assault was made upon her.
Her under clothing was completely sat

knife in several places. The drssc she
had worn was very much spotted with
blood, and the whole appearance of eve
rything she had thrown aside was sick

STATEMENT
Last evening about half.past six or
seven o'clock, a m knocked at my
door and asked me if my name was
Hungerford. I replied that it was.
The m was Mrs. Jane Staley, the
wife of John A. Stalsy, who had been
living with me. This woman was ac-
ccmPaniea by her son George and a
young man named Cary Tatum, who
entered the room rs she did. The mo-.
mont | answered Mrs, Stsle's questiony,
her son George stepped upon the trail
of my dress, which was quite long, and
by that means prevented my moving.
At the same instant, young Tatum
sprang towards me and caught hold Of

Mrs. Stalcy her drew a Bowie knife
and rushed at me, aiming at my face.
L endeavored to protect my face and got
a severe stab in the shoulder ; she next
cut a deep cash in my skull on the back
of my head, then changing her position
she stabbed me in my thigh. In try
ing 20 take the ssa;fas from her she ncxt
cut me from the centre of my arm down
to my thumb. That wound pains me
awfully, as bad as the one they think
has gone through my right lung. She

back, and then / fell exhausted from
