QUEER DolNGs AT THE ASYLUM
1t appears that Major Alden carries
the long pole which knocks the per-
simmons, if We are to form an opin-
ion from the action of the Trustees
of the Hospital for the Insane, at
their last meeting. 1t seems that
two members of the board wanted to
restore the Major to the position of
Accountant, which move the Super
intendent, DIR. Willard, opposed.
The Board then reasoned" with
the Doctor, and assured him that if
he would only reappoint the Major,
he might fill the Office of Superin-
tendent " twenty years, provided he
did his duty. The doctor declining
to acceed, the Board Immediately
removed him, and appointed j. w.
Waughop in his place, who respond
ell by telegraph and soon as he APP
peared placed the Major in the COW
eted position. The day afterwards,
DR.. Willard asked for transcript Of
the record, so far as it related to
himself, when 10, and behold! it was
discovered that he had been removed
without the assignment of any cause,
and q resolution was interpolated
stating that he was displaced for
general looseness in the management
of tue institution. This /" looseness"
was probably not apparent when
the teuder of the position was made
for twenty years" Gen. Nc
Kenny asked the privilege of filing
protest against these arbitrary pro-
ceedines which was promptly re-
fuse a.
SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI.-The
steamship .Ameriquc lately landed in
New York, bringing two women,
each noted in her circle and time,
each commented upon and more or
less severely censured. One Of
these was Mrs. Lincoln, the wife Of
the martyred President, wrinkled,
faded and grey, who made her way
unattended through the crowd; and
the other Sara Bernhaidt, the bloom
ing, self-possessed actress, in tho
very zenith of her fame, the recip-
lent ofadolatrous attentions from all
sides. Such is tho vanity OF all
earthly honors. Her triumph Will
soon end, and the curtain fall upon
scenes whose memory shall linger
but an hour, pointing the moral OF
the line
Life is but the triumph of our moull ring clay.
