Insanity in England.

1t is remarkable that the increase Of
insanity in England has occurred during
the operation Of new and improved
system of treatment. No one would re-
turn 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 incurables. In expectation
of speedier cure from this cause, vast
sums have been expended on the con-
struction of English asylums. A. return
recently published shows that during
20 years more than G6,0OO,0O0 have
been thus employed. The repairs and
extras may bring the sum to not much
under .eS,000,000; and, taking into ac-
count the annual interest on capital, the
maintainance of lunatics must cost the
country at least e2,000,00O per annum
1t is truethat the worth of the expendi-
ture is not to be reckoned by the money
value alone. If, when the cost is high.
est, and the cure and care of lunatics is
greatest, that system is the best But
when the cost is highest, and the cure
and care lowest, we have a right to com
plain. For the last 80 years the Earl
of Shaftesbury and tho Lunacy Commits
sioners 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. Ali that money could yield,
all that architecture could bestow, in
obedience to the orders of the govern
ment or the suggestions of the medical
profession, has been freely, even lavishly
executed. Although the proportion OF
recoveries in all institutions, calculated
on the admissions, has fallen between
1859 and 1877 from 80. IL per cent. to
30.33 per cent, and although the recov-
cries calculated on admission to county
and borough asylums show no improve
ment, remaining at 30 per cent, while
those calculated in each year upon the
total number under treatment have
fallen from 9.6 per cent. in 1859 to 7.9
per cent in l777-yet the Commissioners
in Lunacy appear perfectly satisfied with
the results obtained Thus, while cx-
penditurc increases and lunacy advances,
they are content to see cure not merely
stationery, but retrograde The Fort

aged IL, by the girls grandfather, an apos-
tate Mormon, who had informed the govern

Harmon, the would-be polygamist, but the
latter backed out. The girl came over in a
Mormon emigrant party in June, and pur.
posed living with her grandfather in South
ern Utah, but was secreted here by Mormons
IN order to get her into pelygamy. Friends
OF the grandfather, having heard OF their de-
sign, telegraphed the old gentleman, who
came to the city last night in time to save the
girl. The law'defying Endowment House"

The Incongruities of the Dinner


A chapter might be written on the in
consistencies Of the dinner table. No
body has patience to listen to the speeches
and general tendency to sidle toward
the door when the toast list is opened;
yet there is universal grumbling if the
speeches are not brilliant---which, by the
way, they are not. Gentlemen rarely
appreciate the music after dinner they
talk incessantly; but on one occasion
when the songs were omitted great
disgust was expressed, and the speeches
appeared to fall more fatty than usual.
People who dine regularly cannot taste o
quarter of the good things; but they
make unpleasant remarks about "econ-
omy" and "hard times," if any of the
usual delicacies are omitted. The favor
ite argument on behalf of pubic dinners
is that they promote sociability; but dur
ing the half hour (it is often mole than
the traditional quarter,) before dinner,
you stand awkardly with your hands be-
hind your coat tails, and are hungry,
and Immediately on the removal of the
cloth you are in hurry to catch that
"last train" which always starts Sin ten
minutes;" or the bus which will Gust
bring me home in nice time, for, do you
know, I've forgotten my latch key, and
mustn't be late.-- University Magazine
