Interesting Facts Cleaned from the New
Census of the United States.

The census returns, soon to be pub
lished, show that there are in the United
States 20,32O blind persons, of whom
II ,343 are males and S,977 females. The
whites are 1896; blacks, 1866; mu-
lattoes, 355; Chinese, 4; and Indians,
90. There are of deaf and dumb, Is POS; !;
males, S,9l6; females, 1899. All except
l,29S are white. The whole number of
insane is 1882 males, Is, ia; females,
l9,20S. Except 1922, all are whites.
or the idiotic there are l4,4S5 males
and 1902 females; total, 1887 The
proportion of negroes is much larger in
this class of unfortunates than in either
of the others, and including both blacks
and mulattoes, the number is 3,1SS
both blind and deaf and dumb is 96
blind and idiotic, l05; blind, deaf and
dumb and also insane, I; blind, deaf
and dumb and also idiotic, |. 1t will
be noticed that in all classes of unfor-
tunates, except the insane, the number
ot males is much greater than the num-
Der of females. The aggregate number
OF blind in the State of New York is
2,2l3, of whom ,464 were born in the
United States and 749 in foreign coun-
tries, the birthplace of 10 only being
unknown 449 were born in Ireland
and l23 in Germany are over 100
years old, and 81 between 80 and 100
one OF the latter being an Indian woman.
Of all the blind in the United States,
LII were born in New York from
this it will be seen that there are in the
State nearly twice as many blind as are
natives of it. New York has l,7S3 deaf
and dumb, of whom 1,554 are natives
of the United States and 229 foreign
born; of the latter there were born in
ireland &C and in Germany 81 it would
thus appear that the blind are greater
travellers than the deaf and dumb. The
deaf and dumb die younger than the
blind, and there are in New York only
twenty-one over seventy. OF all the
deaf and dumb in the United States
1870 are natives of New York. The
number of insane persons in New York
is 6,353; born in the United States,
3,207; in foreign countries, 3,l46. OF

insane; between five and ten years, l3 !;
and under twenty years, POI over sew
enly years Oll tlefc dfe oZJ. VI the
whole number of insane in the United
States 2,6l2 are natives of New York
only little over one-third of her pres
ent insane population. The number of
idiots in New York is 2,4S6, or "a or 35
more than onetenth of the idiotic in
the whole country. Idiots do not emf
CRATE very extensively, and 2,l79 are
native born, against 307 foreign; 2,054
are natives of New York, 10 of Ireland
and SO of Germany. The idiotic die
young, through the favor of the gods,
and 324 only are over forty years old.
The net number of persons IN me lour
classes of unfortunates in New York is
12SOl, and in the United States, 97,923.
There are in the United States l4l
blind persons over 100 years old, also
two deaf and dumb, seven insane and
five idiots.

Naval Academy Outrages.

In spite of the late dismissal from
the Naval Academy for hazing, outrages
of this character have recently been
worse than ever. A board of investiga-
ton has recommended fifteen additional
dsmissals, and the department has de-
cided to dismiss them. This investiga-
ton shows that one of the new cadets
was held and made to drink mugful
Of a mixture composed Of castor oil,
mucilage, ink, tooth powder and qui-
nine pills. Another was held out of
the fifth story of building by the heels
until he was nearly dead. A third was
taken out at night and made to kneel
before the Herndon monument in
the ground, and pray for the Presi-
dent, the American Eagle, the Star
Spangled banner, and, lastly, the spec
tators.
