The Hospital Leak.

1t will be seen by the report OF
the special committee, appointed to
investigate charge OF extravaganza
on the part Of the Trustees of the
Hospital for the Insane, that the
Exceptions of the STANDARD to the
reappointment of the present board
are amply sustained. The report
says that the balance noted in the
statement of the Trustees of unex-
pended appropriation does not really
exist, but that deficit appears OF
SIPS OF more than the amount
authorizing by law. Another re-
markable fact reported by the COM
mittee is the increase of the cost
of subsistence, since the present
board assumed control of the in
stitution, and the sentence which
follows throws some light upon the
probable cause of this imitation OF
demand and values.
While the committee is careful to
state that the management of affairs
within the institution is all that can
be desired, it still the more firmly
fixes the responsibility of IN ex-
travagant expenditure of the public
money upon the Trustees, who con-
tract for supplies and audit all
claims resulting therefrom.
1t was we'll known to many men,
bers of the Legislature and Others
that the Governor had full knowl-
edge of this matter, before he reap.
pointed the old board although that
act does not harmonic with the re-
markable eagerness displayed by him
TO prevent a protlisate expenditure
of the public moneys by the Legis-
lature. That was deemed a matter
of sufficient Importance to warrant a
telegram to Mr.. Kirkwood, the Hon
orable Secretary of the Interior,
the reply to which he made the sub
ject Of a long message to the As
sembly, in which it was clearly
shown that the potent name of the
Executive might DO used to protect
the Treasury, and "prevent the
payment Of public moneys without
law"
1t will be seen from this report
as well as the facts shown in pre-
vious issue, that while the Executive
has literally strained at y gnat he
has really swallowed full grown
camel, and the array Of figures
which indicated large balance il
the Treasury on tho assembling Of
the Legislature, is dissolving likes
mist before the light that is thrown
upon these matters by investigation

Another Wreck.

The following is the statement oil
the captain of the bark Edith Lorne,
which was wrecked last week on the
Columbia bar:
We left anchorage at 8 \. NJ, with
a strong east wind, all sails set,
drawing Is feet, The Napier, draw
ing PIG, with tug, was ahead Of
US and in sight all the time. Al
10:3O A. NJ, just as we reached the
cutoff through the middle sands,
the wind began 20 die away. Sew
eral heavy seas came along and the
ship got into the trough of two OF
three, touching bottom with hel
stern, ard of course losing steerage
way. The lead showed that her bow
was in deep water, and II ships
length more would have carried us
beyond all danger. The tide car.
ried us about half mile from where
she first struck. The stern post had
given WY, and several bolt plates in
the after peak were strained and
leaking. A heavy sea was coming
on and we expected her to 20 to
pieces before morning. Seas were
breaking over for the first three
hours after she struck, and l aban-
doned her only after Capt. Harm
OF tie life-sayinS station informed
me that it would be suicidal to re.
main all night. Saved only chron.
ometer and papers. I never would
have started if thought the wind
would not have carried us through.
l had sailed in without the least
trouble. There were half dozeu
vessels ready for sea ahead of ne
and l did not know how long !
would have to wait for tug. ]
was sure of wind which I thought
would take Inc out safely, and ]
preferred that to waiting indefinitely
for towagc.

prise the following lines: New York

Scientific Miscellany.

Bicyclists look forward to the time
when every man shall wheel himself
to md from business. But French
electrician has discovered q trick
worth two of that. He has succeed
ed in driving ri cycle-something
like lads velocipetle-for an hour
along the streets of Paris by means
of electricity stored in a secondary
battery. The vehicle with its o.
cupant weighed 400 lbs. and it vas
driven at the speed of an ordinary
cab. By improving the mechanics
the inventor hopes to raise this b
IL miles an hour. Here is q saddle
horse that eats nothing. costs next
to nothing to keep, will not shy OF
run away, and can be kept in the
house ready for use.
A Cairo letter to the London
Times announces the discovery, ina
cave near the site Of ancient Thebss.
of 80 "royal mummies." Herr
Brugsch, the German Egyptolosist,
has deciphered the inscription affixed
against 26 of these mortal bodies Of
those wLo once
walked about lhow strange the storyn
In Thebes's brigh. streets, three thousand
Years ago."
and he finds among them tho body
of Rameses H., the original Pharaoh
of the Jewish captivity The iden.
ti6cation is said to lie complete and
unanswerable. How this particular
Pharaoh, who was supposed all along
to have been miraculously drowned.
with all his host, in the midst Of the
Red Sea, came to be transformed
into a well-preserved mummy. and
laid away, with other royal charae-
ters, in one of tho rock tombs of old
Thebes, is conundrum for the
select teaparty who are to m Re =
revision of the Old Testament. and
it would be interesting to feel OF tho
old fellows heart, just to see it that
important organ still retains its mi
raculously impaired hardness. The
impressive fact, in this exhumadoa
of the tarry old bodies of this col.
lection of ancient Egyptians, is the ,
presence, itself. of such mortal ~
mains of people who lived nearly
four thousand years ago. 1t really
matters little, now, whether thsse
dried aad blackened mummies s1e
the bodies of Egyptian kings or o.
their unknown people. In the exist !.
ing state of Egyptian chronology y.
is not easy to discriminate the sspaf'
ate individuality of the great 81
sostris" or tho "great Pharsoh-
nor easy to tell whether both names
may not mean the Same man, or even
to feel sure what tho meaning Or
pharaoh" is; we only know thai
there were pharaohs and that tbe
name was not a family name. but
mere term of distinction-perhsr
about equal to General" as it >
used east of the mountains. So i
may be, after all that the remains o.
the Scriptural Pharaoh lie in soma
salt-incrusted crypt meath the deep
blue sea, where the mermsids sings
requium to his untimely fate.

a tolerable crop, but the late planting will no!
make half crop. All vegetation IS literally
drying up. Pasture is getting scarce, aud
