best. But when the cost is highest, and
the cure and care lowest, we have right
to complain. For the last 30 years the
Earl of Shaftesbury and the Lunacy
Commissioners have had entire control ;
their recommendations have been carried
out-their appeals to the humanity and
liberality of the public have been COM
piled with.
All that money could yield, all that
architecture could bestow, in obedience
to the orders of the Government or the
suggestions of the medical profession,
has been freely, even lavishly, executed
Although the proportion of recoveries in
all institutions, calculated on the admis-
sions, has fallen between 1859 and 1877
from 1912 per cent. to 90.33 per cent,
and although the recoveries calculated on
admissions to county and borough asy-
lums show no improvement, remaining at
3Oper cent, while those calculated in each
year upon the total number under treat
ment have fallen from SO per cent. in
1853 to 7.9 per cent. in 1S77-yet the
Commissioners in Lunacy appear perfect
ly satisfied with the results obtained.
Thus, while expenditure increases and
lunacy advances, they are content to see
cure not merely stationary, but retro
grade,

Lynch Law i'm Liberia,

lS'iuAious' ph'i LHlulleI.l
Laura Lane, negro girl of Valdosta,
who went to Liberia in 1877, returned
to her home last Friday morning. She
gives anything but cheerful account of
her life in that model African Republic.
Among other things she says that :'the
native season everything very highly
with pepper, and when a child is born
among them they stuff its mouth with
red pepper and Cruel, and lay it out in
the sun for an hour. They say it will
make it strong and healthy"
Also, she says, "the natives are very hard
on our people when they commit crime"
She mentions the case.of one Reuben
Cayho, an emigrant from America, who
stole something from one of them, and
they caught him, tied big rock around
his neck, and threw him into the river.
That was the last of him." She con-
cludes her recital by saying: II am glad
to get back, and am satisfied to remain in
America; other colored people who want
to try foreign countries can do 50, and
learn by experience what have learned.
| feel better since | have reached my own
white folks"

1t is remarkable that the increase of
insanity has occurred during the opera
tion of new and improved system of
treatment. No one would return to the
manacles and fetters of a former age; but
it was expected that early admission to
asylum treatment would produce more
rapid recovery, and thereby diminish
instead of increase the number of incur
ables. In expectation of speedier cure
from this cause, vast sums have been ex-
pended on construction of English asy-
lums. A return recently published shows
that during twenty years more than
G6,OO0,OO0 have been thus employed.
The repairs and extras may bring the
sum to not much under 9S, 600, 900; and,
taking into account the annual interest
on capital, the maintenance of lunatics
must cost the country at least 92,O0O,-
600 per annum. tits true that the worth
of the expenditure is not to be reckoned
by the money value alone. If, when the
cost is highest, the cure and the care of
lunatics is greatest, that system is the

A Georgia Lake Brying Up.

Reports Of the sinking condition of
Ochtahachee Lake induced party from
Valdosta to go out there few days ago
for the purpose Of catching some of the
fish before the water was all gone. By
o'clock at night two thousand trout,
Dream and speckled perch had been
caught. The Valdosta Times says that
if the recent rains do not stop the under
flow of the lake in few more days the
fish and water will be down into small
compass, and then it will be hard to pull
out all the fish one haul of the seine will
take in. 1t has known thousands to be
caught there before in one haul, and
trout weighing sixteen pounds in the lot.
The Ochtahachee is curiosity, and those
who have not seen it in its sunken condi-
tion ought to avail themselves of this
opportunity. This is the first time it
has run off in five years.

Some of our citizens were aroused at 8
O'Clock last Wednesday morning by the
cry of murder. The cry was found to
proceed from the house of Mr.. George
Poole and from the lips of Mrs. Poole,
who was awakened by the hands of a
man graphing about her throat and the
upper part of her person. She at first
supposed it to be from her husband, and
was not alarmed, but taking hold of the
man by the hand size found it to be much
larger than that of Mr.. Poole, and at
once most Justify cried out. This scared
the man and awakened our friend George.
who being also scared, plunged headfore-
most through the second story window,
taking the sash along with him. Like
Mark Twain, he did not want the sash,
but he thought it was handler to take it
with him Just then.
