Mrs. Melville's Insanity.

PHILADELPHIA, September Is.
Mrs. Henrietta B. Melville, wife of Engineer
George w. Melville, was taken from her home
at Sharon Hill to the State Asylum for the In
sane at Norristown, to-day. The certificate
upon which she was deprived of her liberty
was sgnet Sunday by DIR. NJ. Fisher Long
streth, of Sharon Hill, and Dr. Samuel P.
BarthsOn, of Clifton. The former has long
been her medical attendant. The certificate
sets forth that the examiners are convinced
from examination that Mrs. Melville is not of
sound mind; that she was brought to that CON
ditton through alcoholism, and that she was
the proper person to receive treatment at an
asylum for the insane. The parting between
mother and children was most affecting.
After making all necessary provisions fol
the comfort of his wife Mr.. Melville returned
to this city, whence he sent the children home
early this evening under the escort of two of
his friends. He took the ii 80 D. m train for
home. Prior to his departure reporter called
upon him to obtain his story of the facts con-
nected with this distressing affair He said:
My wife's insanity has manifested itself oc-
casiOnally ever since our marriage, but has
become more violent of late. have heard of
her drawing toy wagon along the street and
asking passers-by to look at the new baby that
was to be a surprise to George that's d upon
his return, when there was not even a rag
baby in the wagon; still, as her hallucina
tOns were generally harmless, 1 felt no
fear of her doing anything violent. l would
rather have had nothing sad publicly of this
sad affair, but since it has got into the news
papers want the true facts to be set forth
One Of the members Of her family died in an
asylum for the insane. Another is a 'simple,'
and third passed several years in confine-
ment because of insanity. Her story, which
read this morning was the raving of a de-
mented mind, but, like many insane persons,
she possessed the faculty of speaking very
sensibly and coherently, even with her mind
unbalanced, so that 1 cannot say that the
writer of the article had any intention of do
ing me harm. His mistake was one of iudg-
ment, and not of intention. He did not know
that he was talking to crazy woman. Many
of my friends know of the troubles I have
experienced in my domestic life, bnt none
know them all'
With regard to the story as to the troubles
about money, Chief Engineer Able, an inti-
mate friend, said: According to the regula-
tions of the navy, officer at only
allow his wife One-half of his salary. This Mr..
Melville did, giving her 800 month. Besides
this, he owned the house, Wh ch was well fur
nished, laid in stock of coal sufficient for
three years, paid the taxes and the school ex-
penses of the children for the same term, and
paid off the debts that she had contracted
while he was with the Asiatic squadron. To do
this he had to get a special order from the Sec
retary of the Treasury, allowing him to allot
his whole saIary exctsrt SIg Tnonfh to MS
wife. On this pitiful sum he had to live for

swept as clean as new brooms always

So Phenie iidgeted a minute with her
broom, and when she found Aunt Anna
didn say any more she left the bits OF
cotton in corner of the wide brick
hearth, and went out TO sweep the vo-
randa floor And when she went in
again the rags were all out of the way.
All through the summer there were q
good many bits of cloth and paper to
pick up; but Picnic didn't touch them
very often. There was always such
little, and she didn't like to anyway.
But in the fall a tin-peddler drove up
to the door, in shiny-green cart let
tered with gold. And among other
beautiful things he had some little tin
pals, painted and lettered. too.

'But there was such little" said
Picnic.
Aunt Anna laughed Then she
brought in from behind the shed-door a
bag stuffed full of rags. Here they are,

Phenie opened her eyes, and the ped
dler began to Iaugh. In minute he
had we gEei the rags.
Z" The pail s yours, " said he, "and two

again next spring. Can't you save some

:" Yes, sir" said Picnic, hugging her
pail with the two iingling coppers.
And the other day when AuLt Anna
found a breadth Of her lilac poplin dress
in Phenie's rag-bag, she almost wished
that Picnic wouldn't pick the rags up
quite so snug.
