A Play at a Lunatic Asylum.

The modern treatment of lunacy, says the London Times, includes, as is well known, the use of every means which can arouse the intelligence and quicken the mental powers of the patients. A curious and pleasant experiment. of the kind was made at the West Riding Asy lum, Wakefield, of which Dr. Crichton Brown is the medical director. On this occasion MT. w. S. Gilbert's play of "Pygmalion and Galatea" was performed under the personal superirl- tendence of the author, who himself took the part of the Leucippe. The performance of the whole piece was such as has been rarely seen, and the audience, which consisted of upward of thousand lunatics, was certainly unique. A more orderly, appreciative, and de- lighted auditory could not be desired. The front seats were occupied by the country gentry, but it would not have been easy to detect any difference of demeanor in the conduct of the sane and insane part of the audience. None of the points were missed. A ball followed, and presently the floor of the great hall was covered with figures of elegantly dressed visitors, lunatics,, attendants, and nurses, Swhirling in waltzes and gal lops, which, seen from a distance, showed a strange medley of graceful and vivacious movements with uncouth but well-intended antics meant for dancing.
 "We've had many fine amusements," said one old woman, "but now't like this in thirty years" Nor can there be any doubt that such impressions of grace and beauty, and such bright scenes of lively humor and tender but well-cen- trasted pathos, are better calculated than many drugs or much discipline or confinement to minister to the mind dis eased. The rule that if anything be done at all it should be well done was thoroughly carried out, nor was any thing in the beauty of the dresses, the fitness of the scenery, and tho singular excellence of the acting lost on the audience. The experiment. was in every way successful, and is of its kind re- markable. -

|" The Two Orphans 5

Annie and Bridget Boggins called at a station-house in Troy, and asked per mission to remain until the noon train on the Saratoga road left. The girls are aged ten and twelve years respectively, and came to the United States from Ire land, landing in New York recently. Their father is dead, and their mother, two sisters and two brothers live at Quaker Springs, Saratoga county, and have been in the country two years. Money was sent to the little ones ocome to this country, and a. letter directing them accompanied the money. They sailed from Queenstown, and the only guide they had was young woman who was coming to New York. She left the children at Castle Garden, and went her way. They remained on Wards Island until they came to Troy on the boat. Having missed the last train, Captain Quigley sent them to the noon train and they went on their way rejoicing. They had money enough to pay their way. These two little wanderers left the home of their grandmother in Ireland, crossed the ocean, and will doubtless find their mother with but very little trouble The journey would have puzzled those of more years. They were bright, happy and intelligent little ones.

The Potato Bug.

The potato beetle can be controlled
 by due care at the proper time-frst by
 catching and destroying the first brood
 of bugs that appear on the vines, and next by the use of paris green, or other poisonous substance, sprinkled on the vines when the slug or second brood is coming to maturity and beginning to work upon the leaf. One spoonful of paris green stirred into three or four gallons of, water and sprinkled on the vines, two or three times over, at in teryals of one week, will, it is said by those who have had experience, save the crop. It requires from three to four pounds to the acre of the poison, and one days work to four or five acres of ground each time over, an expense which every farmer can afford if only by this means the crop can be saved.

The Beecher case proceeded last week with
revived interest, at least during part of the
time. The noted Henry 9. Bowen, proprietor
of the Independent newspaper, was called on
the part of the prosecution. He was sup
posed to know all about the case, but both
sldes appeared to be afraid of him. The evil
gence given by him, however, was not of
very great importance. He cortradicted
Beecher's testimony on several points having
reference to the dates of certain occurrences,
but in most Of its aspects Mr. Bowen's story
was rather disappointing. A decided sensa-
ton was caused on Monday by Mrs. Tilton
rising al the opening Of court and presenting
letter TO Judge Nelson, in which she asked
the privilege of saying few words in her
own behalf. She stated in the letter that she
bad been for five years the victim of most
cruel and unfortunate circumstances. She
had again and again eliminated herself y
falsehoods wrung from her by compulsion.
She declared solemnly, before God, her inno-
cence Of the crime charged against her. The
Judge read the letter, but did not then reply
to it. Afterward a response was read by the
Clerk, under an order by Judge Nelson, in
forming Mrs. Tilton that she could not APP
pear as a witness under the law, either for or
against her husband. Nothing therefore
came Of the matter, except so far as the cor
respondence has influenced public opinion.
On Friday morning two Of the lawyers were
sick and the court adjourned until Monday.
Mr.. Evarts said the case was nearly approach
ing its close.

The Elizabeth Journal says I:

prominent lawyer of the State in reply to
our inquiry recently what the law is on a

way OF knowing. The Legislature passed laws
at the late session, but made no provision to
publish them in the papers. Men may there

the palms and penalties which have never been
promulgated u priutcdais worse IlHafFss riss8i In

intentions may be committing crime by their
violation. Hence the anomalous position the
public are placed in. People have got to wait
an indefinite period and learn in round
about way what are the laws they are living
under. The time is past in which our asses
sars begin the work of assessing property for
taxes. If there were any amendments passed
to the tax law, they and the public arc as ig-
norant as if they were the inhabitants Of q

tion is unworthy the dignity of the age

Representatives Of foreign nations to the
Centennial International Exposition are al
ready beginning to arrive in Philadelphia and
take ul their permanent residence. The
Mexican Commissioner is here with his COM
mission, and has commenced operations by
examining the arrangements and sending
home reports. The British Commissioners
are expected soon. All the nations win have
to provide their own fixings, and apportion
the space among their own exhibitors Many
will want outside space for separate buildings.
All express surprise at the colossal extent of
the enterprise. Opinion gathers strength at
all points that the Exposition will BIO great
success. The American visitors will far out
number any throngs in Paris and Vienna.
