Tor So the person is designated hy the rulca gov
erning the lnotltuion,) Of the Insane at the
Aims House of New Cast lie County, one would
be led to believe that IL was very desirable
situation. Persons who have had no experience
in nursing, or the management of the Insane
have no conception whatever of the duties de-
volving upon them in this particular. Too little
Importance has been attached to the position of
Nurse at the Insane Department; a casual WISH
tor there sees the nurse generally unoccup!et
and is led to imagine that he or she, ms the ease
may be, has very easy time oft. Never were
people more mistaken. At the time visitors
call-almost always in afternoon-the work of
the day has been finished; beds have been made,
cleaning done the patients cared for, Sc, &c
and all seems calm and peaceful as Il summer

4 bad case, one that is destroying everything
that comes within his reach, and would not
hesitate TO take human life, if the opportunity
offered. At such time, an experienced man
is needed at the head of the departmet, one who
will know a. once what is necessary to be done
without having to resort TO the inmates for ai-
vice; one who will treat the patients kindly, an
ticipating their wants and requirements, and in
all things perform faithfully and honestly the
duties required of him. 1t has been too much
the case Of late years for the Superintendent of
the insane too cover up iromlle knowledge of
the Trustees any Irregularities that have IRAN
spired. lido not refer to the present iucrim-

1t is to be hoped that an orpercaccd, cd,,,i5ie
man, assisted by his wife, may b. selected for
the position. The affairs of the Insane Dcpa,l-

Pubic Sdie.-Mr. Is. r. Townsend will sell
(Ogle Il Miller Auctioneers,) on Saturday, NAV
Bid, at O'Clock, p. M, sixty one beautifully
located and valuable lots equally desirable as
building or manufacturing sites, comprising
nearly three squares of ground situate between
Lobdell and A streets, and Townsend and
Church Streets on the south side of HE Chris
tiana Creek. This offers splendid chance
for speculation to all those who wish in short
time to reap rich harvest from their invest
ments every one knows how quickly within the
last few years property has risen in value over
the Third street Bridge. No one has yet bought
there but has been delighted with and amply
repaid for his purchase. Lots that two years ago
sold at public sale for three dollars per foot can
not now he bought from the owner for less
than ten and sixteen dollars per foot. Let all
who wish cheap and remuneratve bargains al
tend the sale.

Temperance.-The Quarterly Meeting of the
Sons of Temperance, OF this State, was held i'll
this city on Thursday. The attendance was
small, there only being some five or six divi-
sions in the State. A plan for the promotion
OF temperance was agreed upon. A meeting
will be held this evening in the rooms formerly
occupied by the Old Ch,uch Division. 1t is
thought by some that the new license law will
tend to give an Impetus to temperance princi-
pies, ami the Divisions may increase in num-
bers and usefulness.

UNwIsE CouRsE,-Tbc course pursued by
Messrs. Hayes and Finegan in the City Coun-
Gil, has been most unwise one. BY their rep
reservations TO the LIE. stature they jeopardiz-
ing the passage Of bills essential to the prosper
ity of The city and rendering the employment
of counsel necessary. They caused the expen-
diture of $775, nd must be held responsible
for the amount. 1t Is small sum compared TO
the amount they would have fosted on the city
In the shape of salaries and fees, without saying
anything about incidrntals that might have in
advertently crept in. The folly of their course
must be apparent to all, and their insinuations
in regard % the honesty OF their fellow mem
bers were as upfounded as they were urcalled
for. The rebuke of Mr.. Pickles VA, rs timely
as Ii was tnerited They were 80 npeiely toll
ed in every respect, and va hope that they will
have more prudence in the future. 1t is folly
TO go into contest in which one is certain to
fall and make no capital for either himself or
his party.

Hopes' Great London Circus, and Sanrer's
Trained Animals, with all their brilliant sur
roundings, are announced, as will be seen in
their advertisement this day, to visit Whining
ton on Tuesday May 18th, remaining one day
only. This is the first appearance ofthe "Great
London Show" in these regions since their ar
rival In America.
From what we can gather from exchanges,
and those who have seen the great show, II
must be the best of all equestrian and zoolog,-
cal exhibitions ever given in this country.
The "rriumphal Procession" into town will
be an exhibition in itself worth going miles to
witness. The equestrian troupe is composed
entirely OF English and French artists of the
first class-riders, gymnasts, acrObats, clowns,
&c, which, together with their wild beast train
ers, will present a novelty and diversity in their
performances, superior to ANYTHING in the show
line ever seen on this side the Atlantic. The
New York Tribune speaks ofthe procession of
the combined English and French Circus and
Caravan as follows:
ave must not omit to mention the great
street procession of the English troupe, as 1t
entered the city on the morning of exhibition.
Among other vehicles it contains five chariots
OF Immense dimentions, superbly adorned in
golden carvings, and decorated with banners.
classical alegories, rich paintings, etc. These
chariots are drawn by teams the finest stock
of horses ever hitched together, besides a team
Of four wild zebras, the first ever broke to har-
ness. In the procession is also introduced
cavalcade composed OF fifty performing or ring
horses in rich trappings, mounted by members
ofthe company, representing knights in steel
armor, ladies superbly costumed, attended by
men at arms, heralds, pages, squires, &c. The
grand pageant occupies nearly one mile In ex-
tent, presenting, while IN motion, blaze of
FURNISHED gold and polished steel, extending as
far as the eye can reach
"There can be no doubt that this is the
grandest show that will be out this season, and
that their huge tent, covering All acre of grounl
will be filed both day and evening wherever it

q" 1t is well known that it is almost i'm
municipal on township election. There are
so many influences of n personal and local
character, independent of party, that many
voters will cut and carve their tickets with
little regard to the politics of the candidates,
In the light Of these facts, it is amusing to
read The rejoicings of the Democratic press
over great Democratic gains" in the late city
and township elections in this state, as though
these elections were any real test Of the rcla-
tive strength of the two parties. Our own
city is spoken of by many of the papers as
showing "a Democratic gain of 106." This
is simply ridiculous. Lanbertyille has for
some years, in important elections, given an
average Dcnaocraticmajority ofabout seventy
five. Yet last spring the Republican candi-
date for Mayor was elected by II large majority
he carrying the Third Ward, Which gives
usually Democratic majority of nearly one
hundred This year the Democratic candi-
date was elected by thirty-four majority, the
Third Ward giving him only twenty eight
majority. The Second Ward "a strong Re
publican ward which should have given the
Republican candidate sixty majority, only
gave him two. Therefore, according to the
reasoning Of these Democratic editors, fifty
eight Republicans in the Second Ward have
become Democrats and sixty or seventy De-
mocrats in the Third Ward have become Re
publeans. This is absurd.

THE VIEW posraGE RrGu1ATroys.

Some of the dailies are rendering themselves
ridiculous by predictions tnat the new postage
regulation, which goes into effect July LIST,
requiring newspapers to pay postage on their
exchanges, and abolishing free delivery of
papers in the county where published, will
seriously cripple the country press. Country pa
pers have on an average, probably, from Thirty
to fifty exchanges, which at the rate of 20 cts.
postage per year on each, win amount to from
Sc to $40 The payment of this sum may seem
quite an enormous undertaking to the
average city editor, but the mass of country
publishers, we imagine, will prove themselves
equal to it.
The country papers are quite as much ne
cessity TO the people as ale those of the city
even more So for the country paper can in
addition to the local news of its neighborhood
and county, give the general news in a con
densed form; while the city papers cannot
supply the place of the local papers. 1t is not
probable, therefore, that the payment Of the
postage required by the new law will affect to
any extent the circulation of the country
papers.
