A Beautiful Maniac.


A New York correspondent says:
On the bare hoor in the corner Of q
room IN the Cas- lie Garden Hospital,
In this city, il the Frustrated form
OF Naunchcn Freudenberg, a girl 10
years old aud of Singular 6eanty.
She has perfect features, rosy
cheeks, large blue eyes, a wealth Of
dark brown hair, and pretty teeth.
She is a raving maniac and ID con.
fined in straitjacket. The girl
came from Berlin by the stea mship
Neckar yesterday. But little can.
be learned Of her history. The sur
geon of the Necxar says he was in.
formed when she was placed on
board that about year ago the
girl showed signs of insanity, the
combined effects of religious excite.
ment AMI an affair of the heart.
She is an lsraelite, and it Ii Inn.
mated that her parents prevented
her from marrying the man Of her
choice because his faith was differ.
ent from hers.
1t was thought that she had re.
covered from her mental disorders.
but, as she brooded over her disap.
pointment, her friends resolv we'd 10
try the effects of change of scene,
and she was sent here. The day
after the steamship left Bremen
Miss Freudenberg began to act
strangely, and on the VOYAGE She
had to be carefully watched. She
talked constantly about religions
matters and her lover. Several
times she threw her arms nhout
some OF the male passengers :and
| addressed them as the man from.
whom she had been separated. Her
youth, beauty and distress won tho
warmest sympathy of every one on
the Ncckar, aud she was tenderIy
cared for. No amount of persua-
sion could induce her to take food-
and liquid nourislment was forced
down her throat. The steamships
sergeon took her TO Castle Garden
and made Mr.. Chapman acquainted
With the case. She WAS nut in the
rooms where she is now confined
and duittrE the night became very
violent. She destroyed the beds
and chairs, aud il was found neces.
sary To remove everything in the
room TO prevent her from inflictipp
selt-lnjury.
Since the jacket has been restored
to her she has laid on her back i'm
the corner. Her eyes have a wild
look, and she rolls them necessarily,
while the hospital resounds with
her manlacal shr;eks. II is impos.
s'hle to get coherent answer from
/ her To any question. When offered
breakfast this morning she turned
away from the food with loathinp.
anu the doctor trirf TO make Der
dIInk some milk, but she struggled
successfully against his Efforts.
Atle. violent imroxysm this after
noon she was quiet for IA while,
turning her face toward the wall,
while the tears ran like rain down
her checks. She has n ticket for
Baltimore, but it is not known that
she has friends there or elsewhere
in this country. The Castle Gar.
den authorities will send her TO tho
asylum for the insane.

n young man advertised for a

fire, found himself minus towels
eight or ten times; on which Occa.

on his night shirt, and several other
things not worth mentioning, he be-

DEAR SIR,-Knowing your Com
pany to be the owners of number
of Cheese Factories, and your hav-
ing been for twenty years in the
business of manufacturing and
handling butter and cheese, and
having used one of. the WIRE Cir
cular Cheese Watts the last season,
we know of no one more compe-
tent to answer the following ques-
tions, and hope you will do so at
your earliest convenience, and al
low US, If we desire, to publish the
same:
LIST. Is the Circular Vat durable
and not liable to get out of order?
I'd. Is it more convenient to work
around than long watts?
Sd. Does it occupy less room
than the long watts for the same
amount of milk?
4th. Is it less work to wash the
round vat than long vats thai. hold
same amount of milk?
9th. Do you find any objection
to running SO large amount of
milk in one vat?
9th. Is your yield of cheese per
pound of milk increased or less
ened by using the Circular Vat?
9TH. How does the cheese made
in the round vat compare with that
made by the old process of hand
work? -r..-
9Th. Please give us your opinion
upon our new process of keeping
the curd all in motion by means
of a current while the cooking or
scalding is being done.
9th. Also our new process of
stirring In the salt and aerating the
curd, as it is done by the round
vat.
10th. Is it necessary to have as
much acid In the curd to make the
cheese stay close when made by
our new process?
11th. Can you recommend the
Circular Vat and the new process
of handling the curd to the cheese
makers as a good investment?
Respectfully,
T. B. WIRE.
