A BAD STEP BACKWARD.


The subject of abuses in the Lunatic
Asylums of the State of New York has
been engaging the attention of the Legis-
lature Of that State, as well as the public
press, for the past few weeks. A number
of distinguished medical and legal gem
tlemen of the City of New York and
elsewhere had quietly pursued their in
vestigations into the management of the
State Asylums until, as they stated in
their memorial to the Legislature, "they
had ust reason to believe that the un-
fortunate inmates are, many of them
treated in a manner which is disgraceful
to civilization, cruel and barbarous, and
not in accordance with the present ad-
vanced state of medical science" Grave
charges were particularly made against
the State Lunatic Asylum at Utica, one
of the Oldest and most generally-known
institutions of the kind in the United
States.
For the use of this institution ma.
chine had been invented, known as the
Utica Cradle" in which violent pa
tients were confined until exhaustion OF
death rendered them docile. The ma
chine consists of a box, in which the
patient is placed horizontally, and ther
secured by the closing down of lid
allowing room for ventilation, but not
sufficient space for sitting in an erect
position. Of course cerebral inham
nation must necessarily be inten.
stied by such confinement and the
Sutterings of the patient, laboring un.
der great mental excitement have ii
quite a number of cases ended in deatI
in the "cradle." These exposures re
7ivc all the old time horrors of English
and Continental mad houses and bed
lams. The attention of the civilized
world was first called to the evils gen
Grafton or two ago by the graphic pens Of
English and French writers of fiction
The details Of illegal confinement, o.
cruelty and torture, and neglect tha
engendered the worst form of SUFFERING
and the most lOathsome consequences
were read with horror but passed by fol
time as the fantasies of sensational
literature. Parliamentary investigation
in England, however, soon revealed tht
fact that the most vivid imaginings o
Reade or Dickens, or Reynolds or Aims
worth fell short of the reality 1t wa
developed that the whole system of treat
ment was predicated upon the assumption
that the lunatic was not only a crimina
but the worst form of criminal, and wa

Such excitement and indignation fol

A REMARK ABLE WELL.
Pure Refined Oil from Nature's
Laboratory, and What Is Done
With 1t.

| Some weeks since we reported that an oil
well had been discovered in Holder Run,
about four miles from Millerstown, Butler
County, the product of which was found to
be better refined just as it came from the
earth, than the best illuminating oil yet
produced by the retiner's art 1t is of a
greenish cast, resembling an opal, yet as
clear as though passed through a retort.
When put into lamp it burns with brill
liant, clear, colorless flame, and with
out any more deposit on the wick
than results from ordinary ker-
osene Throwing a lighted match into a
vessel filled with it does not ignite it, and a
crude test shows it to be over one hundred
and ten degrees fire proof. The well in
which this remarkable product is found
was supposed to be dry, and was so
reported The owner, however, before
abandoning it, bored deeper, and was
rewarded with a liberal supply of prod
uct which demonstrates that Nature has
still locked within her breast many Won
derful mysteries. All kinds of expert
ments We're made with it. 1t was
placed in lamps and burned with a
brilliancy and freedom from charring which
detied experts in their efforts to tell it
from the best refined oil. A stream of it
was poured from vessel into a fire, and
the flame did not follow the stream to its
source, as is the case with ordinary oils.
The discovery, of course, attracted wide at
tention, and among those who investigated
fully the extraordinary properties of the
oil was our enterprising fellow-citizen Mr..
r. NJ. Kennedy who at once purchased the
WE'LL and now obtains from it his supplies
of Carboline, deodorized extract Of pc
troleum, the wonderful hair restorer. This
oil is found most admirably suited for the
purpose, and with it as a basis, Carboline
