Ninety-two years ago this summer WASH
ington was very i'll, and was confined to bis
he'd six weeks; and for several days 1t was
doubtful whether he would recover. lie
suffered from carbuncle, and an ugly one
it was. and the people were alarmed lest he
should die. This was IN 1889, before the
Constitution was framed. Ii is not easy to
imagine what the fate Of the United States
would have been had good constitution,
assisted by Or. Bard, not enabled him TO
pull through.
The New York Herald says: 1t is simply
envy which crilicises ladies for kissing one
another. The doubled arrelled sweetness
is not lost, and while, perhaps, it IS not
placed where it will do the most good, II IS
something worth coyeting and admlrlng.
Even men, especially among the Germans,
sometime, kiss one another; but we doubt
that the action is accompanied by that deli-
cious, graceful hypocrisy which attends a
kiss between two ladies.
The New York Truth (Republican) says
The Democrats, who are now IN the ma
iority, will not admit Lapham and Miller 10
seats unquestoued. The Depew bribery
and corruption scandals are their Inherit
ance. They are a. much the creatures OF The
power which owns Depew, and which used
its money to elect him, as Dcpew himself.

A Sensational EIenem,nt

Now York, Feb. 5.-The reported clone.
ment Of the young and handsome wife Of
Samuel Ssndhein, of the firm of Sandhejn
Brothers, cotton brokers, at No. lOl Pear
street, with certain gentleman with whom
sho had become acquainted during recent
visit to Europe, IS the source of no little
comment in tho business and social circles
in which the injured husband and his
spouse move. AS the story goos-and it is
not denied by Mr.. Ssndheim-Mrs. Sand
hahn, formerly Mrs. De Tratford Blackstone.
o few months ago went TO tho Continent
alone, MIR. Sandheim'G business preventing
him from accompanying her. She returned
to this country on the 9th of January last in
the steamer Scytba Of th1 Cuursd line, and
PROGRESSED to have greatly enjoyed her Tip
and was happy to again meet her family.
Mr.. Sandhoim celebrated the event by pre
goniing her with bracelet valued nj $500
A wocl, ago, on returning to his home. he
found letter from his wife informing him
thai she had gone away. Inquiry of his
c0schmsn revealed the fact that Tho LADY,
had frequently received calls from slrappe
gentleman, and the inference was drawn that
ne was the cause of the trouble. Just who
ho is gossip does not say but it is limited
thai The stranger was none other than Mr..
j De. Irailord Blackstone, from whom Mrs.
Sandhem year or two ago obtained o d.
yoTce, thedetails Of which, owing TO the So.
c.al position of the Interested parties, crested
quite q sensation.
Mr.. Blackstone "a the son of Loranzo
Blackstone, president of the Chicago tS
Alton railroad company, and married Miss
Lille Osborne, now Mrs. Sandheim, who was
then playing ~ the Park theatre in this CITY.
The couple lived unhsppily together md
eventually separated, Mr., Blackstone re.
tanning their infant son. Some months af-
forward she visited her husbands home in
! Norwich, Connecticut, during his absence.
| and secured her child, which she brought TO
this city. Proceedings were commenced for
possession the little one in the courts, and
after long legal warfare the child was
restored to the custody of his father and the
couple wore legally separated A year 400
MIR. Sandheim metand woed her, and thew
were married, aud her elopement is the latest
event IN her somewhat eccentric carer. A
brother Of Mr.. Sandhiem said to-day that in
yastga,ijn rendered it Nmest certain that
Mrs. Ssnhiom did not olope with the arst
hush nd, but that it was "some other man."
70 ssiit that the aggrieyed husband will at
once apply for divorce.

THE STATE RLBBMOsYNARY INsTITU.
TIONS

TlONS.
We are glad 10 see u disposition on the
part of the present legislature to render that
aid necessary for increasing the facilities OF
our state eleemosynary institutions, especial
ly the lunstic asylum. Those unforiunates
of our fellow-beings whom God in his wis
dom has made blind, or deaf and dumb, or
insane, certainly deserve the commisserstion
ami the protecting care of those not so
afflicted. II is eminently right and proper
tina. the state should take upen itself TO pro.
vide tho means adequate for the safety anu
cure, if possible, of those whose minds are
diseased, end for the education OF the sigbtloss
and deaf mute children in our midst, Nod as
our population increases and the demands in
these directions also increase propcrtionately,
our humane institutions must be- en-
larged. The blind, deaf and dumb and luna
tic a7Ylums have largo land cndowmen,s, the
generous bounty of tae state, and it Will be
bu. few years before these lands viii
bo marketable and will bring to each hand
some sum, tho interest on which will we'll
nigh, if not quite, support them, and in view
Of this fact, as taxation will then be go light,
il necessary at all, the state can we'll afford to
be more liberal now. There is moro need for
increasing the capacity Of tho luuatc asylum
o, this time than either of the other ssylums.
We take II for the reason that tho care OF tire
insane outside of an &s}.um is go ditlcult.
While it is possible for the relatives e. an
insane person to keep him or her atAone,
il is almost impossible for cure to oa Of
iected. But many Instances the aylye,
are not able to provid tho protection aces
sary and then the county Jail is the oaly re-
sort when admiLtanCe cannot bG obtained at
the a5y lum. All over the state there are
mad people confined in jails. Here in Dallas
there is IN unfortunate woman, raying ma
MAC kept in the Jail, Every care and atlen.
ton that can DO bestowed Is given her.
but there are no proper facilities former COM
fort or for that medical treatment
calculated 20 benefit her mental disorders
And this may bo said Of all cases in county
iai's, We all know that jail is not the
place. in any sense Of tho word, for the de-
mented. Ofcourse it ia moro humane to
