The case of Miss Susan Dickie, of New
York, who has been shut up in Bloom
ingdale Insane Asylum for six years, and
whose clear testimony in her own behalf
before the Commissioners of Lunacy
broke down that of her own family, of
the asylum officials, and of four physicians
to the contrary, seems to be but another
version OF Charles Reade's well-known
romance of every Hard CASH" Miss
Dickie was thirty-nine years old when
she was sent to Bloomingdale, and the
interest in her case appears to have been
awakened by the recent publication of
her fathers will, Patrick Dickie, a re-
tired druggist, died last autumn, leaving
to his daughter Susan one-sixth of the
income of his estate, which was valued
at S900,000. Miss Dickie was brought
into Court about four years ago, and
conducted her own case before the Com
missioners and the Sheriff's jury with
out counsel. She was questioned as TO
her childhood, her school days, studies
and companions, the family name and
ages, her early religious associations, her
fathers property and the location OF
buildings belonging to his estate, to all
of which she gave promp, clear and &C.
curate replies. Subsequently, she was
assigned counsel, who hunted up a mum.
Der of her former friends, all of whom
teStlned that she nau never gwen TO
them the slightest indication of insanity;
then committee of experts, Drs. Ham
mond. Clymer and Ranney, carefully
and thoroughly examined her and gave
their united Judgment that she was in
perfectly sound mind and ought not to
be in confinement another moment
whereupon, commissioners and jury
unanimously concurring, she was releas
ed on the 9th instant. The question natu
rally Iarises, in view of the ventilation
established by Mrs. Josephine Lowell In
other institutions out side of New York
city, what is the use of the New York
Off cial, the Commissioner of Insanity,
if such occurrences are possible, and
whether a sane woman or restored one
could be deprived Of her liberty for even
portion of this time, if such officials
did their duty? Such cases could not
occur in institutions conducted as is the
Pennsylvania Hospital, where the gen
uine cooperation of the Board of Mana
gers comes in to aid the scientific and
humane devotion of the Superintendent
But the Dickie case certainly gives room
for the suggestion that the presence OF
one or two women on the Board of Gov.
ernors of the New York Hospital would
have discovered Miss Dickie long ago.

There ~ No UelI.s

80 says Dean Stanley; SO saws Canon
Farrer; so says Henry Ward Beecher, SO
says Bob Ingersoll, and sos says very many
others; but saying SO does not make itso.
Though the Dean, the Canon and the
lecherous Henry are tolerably well versed
in the affairs of this world, we do not be-
lieve they are any better qualifi fed to teach
US the why's and wherefores Of the here
after than any one else. One thing is
certain, IL there Is a hell-a place of eter-
nal punishment, we all ought to know it;
and If those who are posted in regard to
the matter III there are any such) do not
give us the bottom facts, they win fall far
short of their duty.
The commotion stirred up of late in
relation to future punishment is likely
TO bring to the surface skeptical under
current that has long troubled the waters
of religious belief. 1t will also develop
secretly nursed by various pulpiteers-
But what will It all amount to-the Stan
leys, the Farrers, the Ingersolls and all
the rest of them will be unable to change
the fact that there is or is no hell. They
will, though by the agitation of the vex.
ed question, by the expression of opinion
and counter opinions, cause the heads OF
many dyspeptic theological students and
susceptible school girls to turn themselves
INSIDE out ana upside down. The dis
cussion of this subject will, in our opin-
ion, do more harm than good.
Supposing the world hell, as written
in the Bible, means the "bad-place," OF
supposing it meaus the grave, what poss
ible difference can 1t make with good
Christians? Their salvation is sure
whether or no. Then if it should b,
| clearly demonstrated that no one know
| whether there is hell. or not, how Wi
mankind be benefited by the result?
Many people are very anxious to fine
out the full truth of the matter, and we
presume they will; but rs far as we ar
concerned, we hope we may never know
anything more about hell than we do
now. And to all those who are of tn
same opinion, we would say: Follow th
teachings of the Divine Master, hand yo
will probably remain rs ignorant OF tn
place under consideration rs we hope Il
and stand "a good chance to take a iron
seat over them.-Belle.font Wdtcl,mdn.

The latest Birmingham and Sheffield
adVices Of the London Tine, disclose
great depression 10 those centres Of Eng
lish industry. The Birmingham cores
pondent says:
The new cloud on the political horizon,
coupled with the advance in the bank
rate, has given 4 fresh check TO the reyi'
val Of trade, and merchants are holding
back orders until the prospect Ia more
assured. For the principal colonial
markets, however, and especially Austria
liza and New Zealand, there ia a fair
amount Of business in hand, though al
prices far from satisfactory. The mo-
mentary fruness Of the local iron mar
ket has arrested the downward movement
OF quotations for common hardware
thou .h here and there large buyers may
still obtain couces.iOns. The demand !ot
agricultural and garden tools has beer
checked BY the return Of cold weather
and edge.tools makers report business de-
cidedly quieter, except where Govern
ment contracts are under execution. A.
Sheffield the iron trade Of the town and
district still remains depressed, and
though one or two irms have received
considerable orders, such cases are alto
gether exceptional. The general stee
trade Is exceedingly dull, and for Besse
mer there Ia only short demand. SomC
Of the rail mills are fairly busy, but there
10 very little inquiry for other de
scriptions Of railway material. The col
liers' dispute appears TO be At an end, th'
men having conceded per cent redue
tion. The condition Of the lighter
branches Is likewise unsatisfactory; th,
general demand for cutlery Is Alaekel
than LAST year; the raTor aud table knitl
trades are very quiet, aud the saw anS
ile trades are languid.
