THE INSANE Acknowledgements Sui
]ivan, commiss ioned rs q Deputy Sheriff
for the occasion, made y trip to jackson
last week to convey to the Insane Asy-
lum the dcmented colorcd woman whose
presence in the parish Jail we mentioned
in our issue of the 3Oth ultimo as being
such an infection upon the keeper and
inmates Of the prison, by reason of her
noisy and violent department. As might
have been expected from the announce
ment made by Superintendent Jones that
the Asylum was filled to its utmost ca
pacity, our Coroner had his trouble for
his pains and was compelled to return
with his prisoner. The following cir
cnlar, received by the Clerk of Court one
day last week, explains the conditions
which must hereafter be observed to
secure the admission of patients to the
Asylum:
INSANE ASYLUM OF LOUISIANA,
Jackson, Sept. l, 1879.
To the Clerk Of the Fourth District Court
of Louisiana:
Sir-This Asylum is now full. Patients
will be received as vacancies occur. Par
ties wishing to send insane persons to
the Asylum, must first make application
to the Superintendent. These applica-
tions will be fled, and, as vacancies
occur, applicants will be notified in the
order of their applications. No patient
will be received unless interdicted ac-
cording to law; and all patients, not
able to pay the Asylum charges, must
be furnished with certificates of indi-
gence according to Section 1870, Art In
sane Asylum, Revised Statutes.
w. r.: LOUDON,
President Board of Administrators.
Coroner Sullivan fled all application
for the admission Of the woman in his
charge, and as saoa IS vacancy occurs,
the Superintendent of the Asylum Will
notify our parish authorities.

NEW YORK POLITICS,

The New York Democratic State
Convention met at Syracuse Oh We'd
nesday and Thursday, and put forth
the following Tickets
For Governor-Lucius Robinson,
Lieut.. Governor-C larksOn N. Potter,
Secretary Of State-Allen G.. Beach,
Comptroller-Thos. w. Olcott,
State Treasurer-James Mackin,
Attorney General--A. Schoonmaker, Jr.
The New York city and Brooklyn
delegations, known as Tammany Hall
Democrats, we're violently opposed to
the denomination of Gov. Robinson,
and when it became evident that he
would be the candidate, they bolted
and organized another convention.
David Dudley Field was elected
chairman of this body and made
speech against the action of the regu-
lar convention. Lieut.. Gov. Dorshei-
mer and others spoke in the same
strain. John Kelley, sachem of Tam
nanny Hall, was then unanimously
nominated for Governor.
The gravamen of the Tammany
Hall opposition to Gov. Robinson is
his friendship for Mr.. Tilden, who is
a candidate for next President. The
Kelley faction is at war with the
1tosrus,fnercy II '- II tsezruu-n mir hB-'
clares it's purpose to leave no effort
untried to secure his defeat.
If this split in the New York De-
mocracy remains unhealed, it is re-
garded almost rs foregope conclu-
sion that tile Republicans will carry
the State. This would doubtless be a
fatal blow to Tilden's presidential as.

Mr. Julian ilartridge.

In full possession Of his faculties,
and almost without warning, Mr..
Julian Hartridge. for four years a
Representative in Congress from the
Savannah District of Georgia, was
yesterday morning stricken down by
death. Not to half of his assocl-
ates had the information come that
he was i'll, and it may therefore be
family imagined how painful was
the shock mule by the announce
.nent that he Was dead 1t would be
difficult to name member more gem
orally esteemed and beloved than
Mr.. Hartridge His 6rnness as a
party man was unaccompanied by
rancor, while his fervor and skill as
an orator, his learning as lawyer,
his courtesy and address as deba.
tor, won for him the admiration and
resrect of both political friend and
opponent. Few men can boast of a
more successful past, or had reason
t. hope for a-=blighter future. Had
he chosen to remain in political life,
the highest honors awaited him.
These, however, he voluntarily re-
signed, intending to devote himself
wholly to his profession, the law The
loss of such Il lnan is public calam-
ity. He was the very soul Of honor,
as gentle and modest as a child, as
courageous us Richard of the Lion
Heart, steadfast to his convictions
and true as steel to his friends. Such
men are as one in tell thousand

The MOther-In-Law.

This paper is the only one that has
ever taken up the cause of the moth
er.iu-law. and yet there are de-
mented persons who say we make
game Of women. The mother in Flaw
feels herself under everlasting obli-
cations to the son-in-law for marrying
her daughter. This having been the
object of her life, and she having
been racked with hopes and fears
ever since her daughter came into her
teens, lest the marketable time might
slip by, she feels that she can never
repay the man who came to her de-
liverance. She becomes devote to
him. She coddles him with warm
slippers and wadded dressing gown,
and with hot drinks when he has
cold. She multiplies her tender at
tentions when important bushes"
has kept him out late at night, and
fears that his devotion to business
will wear upon him. She finds out
the dishes that tickle his Appetite,
and makes them with her own hands.
With her, he has two worshippers at
home. She encourages him to smoke.
She smiles on his bachelor friends.
Wien his breath smells Of spirits on
his late returns, she knows that it
was to brace himself up after the IA
tigue of business. She makes her
daughter cheerful while he is at the
club or other places. She minds the
baby while they go to entertainments,
and never wants to go. She praises
him to all as the best of husbands.
She continually enjolns upon her
daughter that she can never be thank
full enough. She is constant sun
beam in the household, which makes
marriage without moth-in.law but
half what it should be.-Ciacsaanats

THE WARRIOR PRIEST.
AN INCIDENT OF THE CARL1sr WAR.

The reverend father was just con-
cluding the Mass he was solemnizing
when the prisoners were brought be-
fore him. The scene was wild mock
in the Arichulegui mountains. A
fallen rick, in which a gigantic fig
tree had struck its fantastic roots and
twisted trunk formed sort of altar,
covered, in lieu of a cloth, with a
Carllst standard fringed with silver.
Two notched "alcarazzas," or water
coolers, served the purpose of vases
to hold the wine and water, and when
Miguel, the sexton who was assisting
the priest at the Mass, would rise
fror. his knaaH To -sa~a and -nhange the
position of the Gospels, the ammuni-
tior could be heard rafting in his
cartridge-box. Near by the Carlist
soldiers were drawn up, and silently
kneeled with one knee on their white
berets or head-gear, and with their
muskets slung over their shoulders.
A bright sun-the sun is always in
Navarro on Easter Sunday-concen-
trated his . 5zling heat in the hol-
low of this burning and sonorous
rock, in which blackbird from time
to time mingled the beating of its
wings with the priests psalmody and
the sing song responses Of his aasis-
tant. Higher up, on the serrated
peaks, the figures of the motionless
sentinels were delivered by the sky
in the background.
1t was Singular spectacle to see
this priestly chieftain officiating in
the midst of his soldiers every time
he turned round with outstretched
arms to utter the invocation Deus
yobiscum his uniform could be per-
ceived under his stole, and the butt
end of PISTOL, or the handle Of a
Catalonian dark would peep out from
under his rumpled surplice. "What
is he going to do with us?" the priso-
ners asked themselves, in wondering
terror, as they called to mind SC
many deeds Of barbarity that had
obtained for the Oa6ecilla an excep.
tional renown in the Royalist ar
ray.
