Dolly Yardens.

IF husbands are to be mistaken in
dolly Warden" dresses, as with an un-
fortunate husband in Philadelphia. the
sooner the fashion is squelched, the bet
ter will it be for the peace of society.
The husband in question one night mis-
sed from the supper table his wife Matil-
da, and inquired of his little boy whittier
had she gone, aud just at that moment
the dining room door opened ond lady
entered. The husband observed d wild
look in her eye, and also noticed that
she was attired in an outlandish style,
having on as he says, dress with sun
flowers, and cabbages and pumpkins
worked all over it, and lot of snakes
squirming around for back ground.
Rising, the man said" Madam, whom
do you wish to see?" and then said, aside,
Poor thing she's crazy" That last
remark settled the business for him, as
the weird female made bolt and tightly
grasped his Adams apple and choked
him until his face assumed the color OF
banner Of the Commune. After she
had enjoyed surfeit of choking her
usbahd she foppcd into chair, aud
with tears coursing each other down her
cheeks, exclaimed: .That should ever
live 10 hear my husband say that L was
crazy" This amused the husband, who
elcvating himself to his full proportions,
said:
You can't blame me, Madam, for
supposiug you an insane women, and
now that l know you are the mother of
these interesting children, will you have
the Kindness to retire to the sauctity of
your chamber aud peel yourself of that
piece of furniture chintz, or window
curtain, or whatever it is you call it"
"Window curtain, chintzH' said the
spouse; why it's you that's out of your
head. That's Dolly Warden, and a
very pretty pattern too"
"Mqdam," replied the husband, "we
may be out of head but if that is aDol-
ly Warden we are most decidedly out of
pocket. Whyi. looks like circus dress,
and the idea of a woman at your time of
life"
My time of life!"
Eyes, your time of life. The next
thing, suppose, you will be practicing
the trapeze act in the back yard. Why
it is enough to give MAJ the delirium
tremens to look at it. Who ever saw
such pattern? It's fash wall paper
run mad. You look exactly like some
japanese tea sign. And now just bounce
out here with that Feeje battle flag, or
you'll scare the baby to death"
There was an ominous pause for a
moment. aud then the eldest daughter
| said:
"Why you ought to be ashamed of
yourself, father. It's all the style, and
am going to have one too; there now"
"Yes, and | want one; all the girls have
got them" Thus spoke Maria, tie
second eldest. "Any more?" gasped The
husband: care there any more Hadn, I
the baby better have one? guess III get
one myself. How do they make up for
pantaloons. Ia! Ha Ha I. (domoniaca
ly.) Let me have Dolly Warden. Let
me clutch it. Bring me pattern ol
monkeys selling lamps posts. How
would a chinese puzzle look or map Of
Fairmount Park?" All the rest is q
blank. The unhappy husband has just
been liberated from an asylum and pro
noupoed cured. But the only way they
managed it was to dress him in a Dolly
Warden, marked out with the ground
plan of the streets of Boston.

Come up any way, and wewill give

Section 5, same act, reads, That
in addition to the sum appropriated
by tire Twelfth General Assembly,
there is hereby appropriated out of
any money in the State treasury,
not otherwise appropriated, the sum
of one hundred and sixty-fvc thous-
and dollars, or so much thereof as
may be necessary forthc completion
and furnishing Of said portions of
said Asylum, and for the improve
ment Of the grounds and farm"
The language Of the law admits
OF but one construction, viz: 1t
directs the Commissioners to com.
pletc the north wing, the rear cen
ter building, eDgine-house, improve.
ment Of the grounds, and farm; in
fact, proceed with the building as
originally contemplated, Except
the front center buildingD entirely
ignoring the recommendation of
the Visiting Committee, except in
the amount appropriated.
After thorough survey of the
situation, your committee are of
opinion that the Commissioners fol-
lowed the law in every particular,
and, in doing SO, permit us to ex-
press our opinion, that they decided
wisely; and have expended the ap-
preparation in a manner the most
advantageous to the State.
In view Of the pressing want,
amounting to an absolute necessity,
for all the room that will be avail
able upon the completion Of the
center building and north wing,
your committee are Of the opinion
that it would be economy for the
State to make ut this session an ap.
preparation sufficient to complete
said portions and prepare them fol-
patients.
! AS the insane of the State must
be provided for, and as the hospital
at Mt. Pleasant is already filled to
It's utmost limits, your committee
by the assistance of the Supcrin
tendent, Mr.. George Josslyn, est
mated the very least that would en-
able the Commissioners to com
pletc these portions necessary to oc
cupancy, and find two hundred
thousand dollars the minimum
amount that should be appropriated

THE INSANE HOSPITAL.
Report of the Joint Legislative Visit
ing Committee.

10 tie Members of the Fowteeth
General assembly;
GENTLEMEN: Your committee
appointed to visit the Hospital for
the Insane, located and in course of
erection at Independence, would
submit the following report:
The work us far as done appears
to be rel done, and honestly; it is
substantial, plain, and durable; and
your committee are of the opinion,
that, as the work, .progrcsscs, great
care is exercised to prevent a ncccs-
sity for further changes, one source
Of great expense and inconvenience
in the management of hospitals.
Your committee examined with
care the books, papers, accounts
vouchers, in the hands of the Com
missioncrs; also the price paid for
labor and materialsa at different seas
ons of the year; also the manner of
working and overseeing the me-
chanics and lab6rcfs, and have no
hesitation in saying that the Com
missioners ana Superintendent have
done all that could have been done
under the circumstances with the
means placed at, their disposal by
the last General Assembly.
Your COMMITTEES took occasion to-
ascertain the reasons, (by an exami.
nation of the present status Of the
building, and the report of the Visit
ing Committee. sof,thc Thirtcentk
General Assembly ,)why portions of
the left wing are ns yt nowsrcaay for
occupancy.
The Visilid&H Committee of the
Thirteenth General Assembly used
the following language: Your
Committee wo,.N. suggest that a
sufficient appropriation be made, at
least to complete two additional
sections Of the left wing, per
mancnt engine hopse, heating APP
parat,,s, water works, etc, and put
that portion Of tic building in =
condition to be. occupied at the
earliest day possible. by compile
ting two additional sections Of the
left wing, one longitudinal, and one
transverse, the transverse section
being a large four story building,
cconomizing roolA and using the
basement under the. foHr-story sec
ton temporarily for kitchen pur-
poses, there will be room for the.ac-
commodation about one hundred
and twenty patients"
The committee estimated the ap-
preparation, necessary TO complete
rs above, and make those sections
available, at one hundred and sixty
four thousand dollars.
Your committee are ofthe opinion
that the General Assembly in max
ing the appropriation, the exact
amount suggested by the committee,
intended to. carry ont their recon-
mendation. Upol an examination
of the act, however, it will be seen
that the Commissioners were not
permitted to carry out the sugges-
tons of the Visiting Committee.
Section 2, chapter 100, Laws Of
the Thirteenth General Assembly,
directs that the Commissioner

lay, cause to be erected and COM
