Mr. James G. Flood, Of the firm of
Flood & O'Brien, is now on visit
to this city and the Centennial, after
years OF absence from here, his for
mer residence and home. His part
ner, Mr. William OBrien, has not yet
arrived, but is expected during the
month.
Flood, O'Brien, Fair and Mackey
are the principle owners and trustees
of the Consolidated Virginia" and
California" mines, in the "Comstock
Lode, near Virginia City, New. These
mines have yielded in gold and silver
each over s3OOO,OOO per month for
many months past, and are believed
to be the richest gold and silver
mines i'm the world. The aggregate
wealth of Flood, O'Brien, Fair and
Mackey is supposed to be 500, 100000.
A few years ago each of these gentle
men were comparatively poor. For
tune has indeed showered her richest
blessings upon them, and although
each has become enormously wealthy.
yet each has maintained "the even
tenor of his way" putting on no aris-
tocratic airs or "shoddy" habits, and

Safe Positions in Sleeping.

dreams. III the meal has been recent

And you. know. would scarcely think
That they are fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form and hue

Yet are those aged. wrinkled hands
Most beautiful are to me.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands,
Though heart we're weary and sad.
Those patient hands kept toiling on.
That the children might be glad.
/ always weep as looking back
To childhood's distant day.
/ think how those hands rested not

On hands. and heart and brow,
Alas alas the nearing time.

Will palms of victory bear
Where crystal streams through endless years
Flow ever golden sands,
And where The old grow young again.

The intelligent care of the insane,
with view TO the restoration TO
health and society, is so recent that
il may be dated, in the United States,
in the present century. The time is
even within the recollection OF many
now living, waen faith IN the curabil
ity of the disease became general,
even among medical men. Upon the
dawning of the belief that insanity
was susceptible OF cure, hospitals be-
gan to be built, for the two fold pur-
poses OF custody and treatment; for
besides the difficulty OF taking care
of lunatics at home, it was found that
comparatively few recovered. From
this period hospitals began to be re-
garded as not only the best, but to
most persons the only places for the
insane. Hence an increasing demand
for their accommodation, and though
their numbers have multiplied large
ly, and have greatly increased in size.
they are still inadequate to entertain
all who knock at their doors and with
piteous appeals seek admission. Ia
this connection may be noted a curl
Gus result OF the establishment OF
new hospital facilities. The newer
States, in estimating the hospital ca
pacity necessary for their insane, have
naturally consulted the census statis-
tics to find VIII ut Ddmber 10 provide
for; but it is invariably found that
when hospital is opened for the ac-
c0mmCdation OF given district, the
applications for admission far exceed
its capacity largely outnumbering
the statistics collected by the census
taker. The country seems suddenly
thronged with insane people, and we
are apt to be impressed with the be-
lief that this dread disease IL largely
on the increase. Bet the probable
fact is that no such increase really
exists. 1t is not unnatural that, main
ly ont Of family pride, the questions
OF the census takers are often evaded,
and the relatives OF the unfortunate
patient, seeing no benefit to come
from revealing this skeleton in the
closet" keep it from observation.
But, promptly when an asylum is
opened within their reach, free to all
without pay, the curtain is drawn and
they come forward with their affiict-
ed.
That insanity does not increase, pro
rata, at least in the United States, is
proven by the census returns for the
past twenty years. In 1850, this
country had population of %, 191 ,S76
and total number Of insane and
idiots of 3l.397, or in 37S In 1860.
with population of 81, ,443, ,322, there
were 1864 insane and idiots, or i'm
733. And in 1870, with a population
of 80, ,555, ,9S3, there were 61, 900 OF that
class. or | in 623 In England, dur
ing the same period, there was an
average of about l in 400; in Scot
land, in AGO; in Ireland, / in 400; in
France, In 900; and in Australia, |
in 524. These reports, il accurate,
show favorable condition in this
country as compared with that OF
others.-Cbdrles ID. Robinson, in
