HOSPITAL FOR INSANE,

Semi-Annual Report of the Inspectors Oh
the Institution at St Pter-The Asylum
Observation-Disclosures Suggestions Made.
Drs. W. H. Leonard. Minneapolis, and G. H.
Boardman, St Paul, the authorized INSPECTORS
OF the insane asylum at st. Peter, lately made
the second of their semi-annua visits to that
institution, and have submitted report to the
governor, of which synopsis is herewith pre-
sented. The inspectors found that owing to
the continued rains the contractor engaged in
rebuilding the east wing-destroyed by fire, as
Will be remembered-had been delayed and
hampered, and in consequence the evils of
oVercrowdlng were greatly felt The building
was full before the fire, and has as many in2
mates now as then, with scarcely half the
room. Very perceptible and unpleasant odors
are Qouceable II some of the wards due
largely to their crowded condition, and
another evil caused 10 the same way, is the
i'll effect upon the excitable patients A stone
building opposite the lower house has been
rented for the use of employees, and it is in-
tended to erect near the kitchen frame one
story house which will accommodate seventy
patients. The need of sewer in connection
with the lower house is crying one and should
receive instant attention None of the SIMPLEST
rules of sanitary law can be observed when
proper drainage is impossible. The 900 acre
farm IN connection with the asylum has proven
profitable and exceedingly advantageous, as
affording field for the employment of harm
less and convalescent inmates. The physicians
recommend most earnestly that more land be
purchased or leased, as they deem tho farm too
small by half. At the time of their visit there
were 543 inmates, of which 2S6 were men
and 254 women. The cases in which restraint
had been found necessary from July l to Sep
tember 21 were reported at 100, and the
overcrowding is to blame for the large num-
EDnr- -fjf n those ;,k
were women; the maximum longth of durance
was twenty days and the minimum one hour
Ut tho 100, many apply to the same person,
and some patients have to be confined habitu-
ally. Since the last report of the physicians
there have been one suicide (by drowning) and
two elopers, one Of the latter having returned
to the asylum. The report concludes with o
high tribute to the efficiency of tho superin-
tendent and to the general good conduct of the
minor officers and employees.

SEVENTEEN archbishop5 and bishops of
Ireland. have recently had conference, at
Maynooth on the land bill and the state of
Ireland, and have issued manifesto which
cannot fail TO have an III portant influence
in quieting that unhappy country. They
considered it their duty to declare that the
new land act is of great benefit to the tenant
class, aud large installment of justice, for
which the gratitude of the country is due
to Mr.. Gladstone and his government, and
to all who helped them carry this measure
through parliament The bishops earnestly
exhort their focks to avail themselves of
the advantages derived from the act, be-
lieving that, if rightly used, it will bring
present and substantial benefits, and help
them to obtain their rights, social and polit
ical, which they justly claim. They also
urge the tenant farmers to use the means
provided in the land act, and every other
means in their power to improve the con-
dition of the laboring class The bishops
avail themselves of this opportunity to call
on the clergy to guard their fiocks against
all secret agencies OF violence and intimi
dation, which can only come from enemies
of the people.

RECORD OF CRIsIE,

things are revealed it shall be found that he
[Guiteaul was the paid agent of the old hag of
hell which sits making mouths at high heaven
between the Rocky mountains and the Sierra
Nevadas.'
The star route rascals made their appearance
in the district court in Washington Tuesday and
were the lions of the hour Public sympathy
in Washington is dearly with them. They are
admitted to bail in their own recognizance and
marched out amid admiring glances and ex-
pressions of crowds of friends. The tone of
moral sentiment in Washington is low.
At Jeffersonville Ind, Ed. McDermott, a
notorious character, killed John Keefe instant
ly and fatally wounded Barney McCardie.
McCardie cannot recover. McDermott is the
son of A. McDermott, who shot his wife and
baby and then committed suicide few years
since. Ed. McDermott is one of the most des-
perate men in Jeffersenville. Keefe was q
worthy and respected young man.

Thompson, of the British navy ard grandson
Of the British admiral who led part of the

is said to have lived the life of a tramp several
years.

THE magnitude of stock and produce
gambling in this country is very much
greater than many people suppose. The
fact is that comparatively few stocks are
brought outright. The business is nearly
all done on margins. There are sold on
the New York Stock Exchange daily an av-
erage of 350,00 shares of stock, the par
value of which is $35, 100000. To purchase
that enormous amount requires only
$780, 900 of actual cash. A person with
$500 or 81, 900 can purchase one to two
hundred shares of stock of the par value of
$1,000 to $20,000. The purchases for ac-
tual investment compared with the volume
Of business is small, probably not 10 per
cent. of the whole. There is cotton ex-
change in New York, where as much cot
ton is sold in week as is produced in the
United States in ayear. Futures are bought
and sold for every month in the year. Tn
Chicago and Milwaukee three-fourths of
all the business done on the Boards of Trade
is purely speculative. Futures are bouobt
and sold on margins. A margin of $500 to
$500 will carry 10000 bushels of grain
Anybody, with even 800 or $50 can oat
in. As matters are now conducted. il ia mt
mercantile talent that is required but tbe
talent of educated gamblers.
