have never been able to understand
the hunger Of Senator Dennis, and in fact,
all the "big men" Of the Third District, to
secure an insane asylum down there. Ev-
cry sessions journal shows propositions to
push along job lin some old rattletrap
like the Salt Sulphur HoteD for hospital
for the insane. Now 1t is q we'll known
fact, to the Third District people rs well
as others, that the plainest dictates Of
economy and common sense would insure
fra the completion Of the building at
Weston. Fill 1t with insane; and then, il
another is needed build it. 1t occurs to
me that any one who knows anything
about the construction Of building for
the accommodation Of people who are to
be restrained Of their liberty, knows that
an old hotel would be the most unfit
place that could possibly DO Sc
lected for the purpose. All ex-
perience teaches that insane asylums
must be built specially for the purpose:
and why nc should have new asylum
started now, with the unfinished wings OF
the present building as perpetual monu.
ment to the folly and lack OF sense OF our
Legislature, and appoint new corps Of
officers at another point, when the officers
at Weston could do all the work without
additional compensation, is matter which
passes my comprehension. But then
am (Re)publican, and consequently n
heather; and l confess that the mysteries
OF Democratic politics are too much for
me. This plain fact remains, however,
that tho present building Mt Weston can
be completed Of comparatively small
cost, and it will thOn have capacity for
all the insane now reported in the State;
and by following the recommendation OF
the Governor, to.wit; sending to the poor
houses OF their respective counties
the harmless incurables now provided
for, tho asylum at Weston will
accommodate all the insane OF the State for
more than score OF yearys 10 come.
Then, toll IS, Mr.. Editor, tell us what we
want with u new asylum, unless It DO that
there are some Confederate physicians
down in tho Third District who can not
earn living at their profession and must
be provided for at the State table?

The Chicago Postoftice Burned.
CHICAGO. Jan.

AHICA0O, Jan. T..
At $3.50 O'Clock this afternoon fire
was discovered in the Honore Block,
corner of Dearborn and Adams streets.
This edifice, which is one of the finest
in the city, was the first erected imme-
diately preceding the great fire in 1871.
1t was rebuilt soon after on the same
plan in French Renaissance style, al
most classical in its severity. 1t is 1872
feet on Dearborn street and $50 on
Adams. 1t was five stories high, with
basement and Mansard roof, faced with
Lemont limestone and finished in brick,
iron and stone. The foundation and
wall were of unusual stability, the
lightest wall being sixteen inches in
thickness. 1t was built for hotel, but
being remodeled for business purposes
was occupied by the postoffice soon
after the fire of 1874. Its original cost
was over $500, 900, but it could proba-
bly, be put up now for less.
I, The floors were occupied as follows:
Basement by the post.office, first and
second floors by the pOst-office and by
the Chicago & Alton Railroad Com
pany; third floor by Gen. Sheridan and
staff as army headquarters of the milf
tary division of the Missouri; fourth
floor by the military and by the follow
ing lawyers: Lawrence, Campbell d
Lawrence, Isham & Lincoln, Paddock
& Ives; fifth floor by the Quartermaster
of the Army, by the heavy mail de-
partment and by Shuefeld a. WestOver.
The latter firm we're just moving in,
and lost their law library of 1900 to
1000 books. The upper rooms in the
Mansard roof were occupied by the
watchman and others as domicile.
The fire originated in the carpenter
shop in the basement. While the car
penter was absent in the upper stories,
the flames swept without warning up
the hatchway to the roof and drove
out the tenants of the upper stories in
an incredibly short time. The rapidity
with which the flames progressed after
reaching the top of the building pre-
vented escape by the stairway of num-
ber OF postoffice employees, who were
driven to the roof, and for a time re-
manned there in an agony of suspense
and alarm awaiting rescue. A woman
who leaned imploringly out of window
in the fifth story was saved by the gal
lantry of fireman who assembled the
fire-escape and bore her earthward in
his arms. The men were saved not an
I instant too soon by long rope
which was procured, and on which
they in turn slid to the ground. The
mail matter was gotten out OF danger
in short time. and all the valuables
about the postoflice were locked up in
the vaults. The mail matter was taken
to the new Singer building on STATE
and Washington streets, whence busi
ness will be transacted for the present

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.
The Government Directors have sent their
annual report to the Secretary of the Interior.
They are of the opinion that the Union Pa
ciac, in view of the extremely liberalaid it has
received from the Government and the bril-
liancy of its success as commercial enter
prise, should be judged by the most severe
standards known among the railroads of the
country. Measured by this standard they re-
port deficiencies many and apparent, at the
same time property is being brought up with
steadiness, though slowly, to a fair degree of
| average excellence. The failure to replace
with steel rails the worn out iron rails is
sharply criticized, and the directors say al
though the policy now pursued by the COM
pany in regard to the,material condition, Of
the property, is careful aud sufficiently safe,
| it is by no means hberalnor such as the c0un-
try has right to expect or the Government
| to insist upon
The policy as respects completion and re-
newal Of the road, which the company ap-
parently has pursued and now is pursuing,
might perhaps, If judged by the test of strict
business principles in the shrewd management
of a practical monopoly, be deemed fairly q
| liberal one. The property, instead of deteri-
Grating, is being brought up with steadiness,
though slowly, TO a fair degree of average ex-
cellence. II is STILL, however, far short of
what with its original endowment and large
! present earnings it ought to be, and very far
short in almost every respect Of that high
/
detail TO which those familiar with the great
| trunk lines of the country are now accustomed.
There is, however, nothing in the present shape
