A VISIT TO BAYvTEw ASYLUM.

BALTIMORE. January Sd, ISs2.
Ms..r.. Editor Last week paid q visit 20
BayvieS Asylum, baltimore eity's alms. house,
not in search Of quarters but merely 20 inspect the
Q! place Of the kind. The Asylum is beautiful
ly located on the eastern suburbs of the city. in
the 18th district of your county, and IL most im-
posing and substantial looking building. At the
door was met by old man who ushered my self
and companion into the otiiee, where We were intro
duced 90 the Captain, rs he is called. We in
formed him of our object aud he kindly assigned
TO us n matronly old lady as guide, Who appeared
10 take pleasure in showing through the iasti-
tion. From the FIRST glimpse Of the interior we
wsre favorably impressed. Everything was In
perfect order and the inmates and their apart
ments presented . neat and tidy appearance
The walls we're tastefully decorated with ever
green. emblematic Of the Christmas season. This
work was done by the hands Of the unfortunate
ones aud bore evidence of both skill aud good
taste. As have said before everyt thing appeared
10 be in the best possible order, rejecting much
credit upon those having charge Of the Institution
The insane department, which is not connected
with she main building. has large number of in
mates and some Of them are the most terribly de-
iected looking creatures IL has ever been my mis-
fortune 70 look upon. While passing through
this department our attention was attracted by an
unusually bright aud pretty looking young girl.
we approached her and upon being Questioned
huc uusNtttu tutrhfNtuby auu tAtAoa s1tetteaatty
that We could not believe, and do not thisk nov,
that she 10 insane. She stated that her name 10
Mary Alberta Truman, and that before she had
been confined In the Asylum she had lived on the
York road, near waverly. She has been confined
In the asylum two years, Pla.ed there, she says,
by her brothers who were unable 10 provide for
her. She has been subject 10 ITS but said that her
mind vas as souEd as anybody's, and We have no
reason 10 disbelieve her statement. This really
. case for the humane 20 look into. II her mind
is sound this 10 not the place, among ho sling ma
niaes, for this unfortunate young girl. She shouid
be removed 10 separate department aud properly
treated for her disease. She begged pteously that
We interest ourselves In her and with tears In
her eyes implored Us 10 do something for her, say
ing that u she was compelled 20 remain there
much longer she would be bereft Of her reason. I
write this In the hope that u may come 10 the
tice Of her brothers. who should interest them
selves In behalf Of their unfortunate sister and SEQ
that she is properly cared for. This is only one
among the many sad cases that come 10 the notice
Of those who visit Institutions Of this character.

MIR. Arthur has taken this evil in hand very
firmly. lie has established some rules regula.

public business, which are designed to leave him
sufficient margin of time 90 consider real aud
important public affairs. lie will receive visitors
on business only between the hours of ten and one
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, aud he
will receive neither personal nor other applica .
tion' for Office at ALL Such applications must he

ers coming at all hours individuals and commit

strength of the heads of the government. These

an instance where committee of poiiticians

and later in the day they sneaked in without their
man to inform the President that they did not

they did because the man had influence at home.
Mr. Arthur trAnsacts business rapidly and means
TO save enough time from "mere visitors 10 give

~ Democratic objections TO General john
sons Registration and Election Bill: I, puts Re-
publieans on an equality with Democrats in the
number Of registers. Il Furnishes registers for
emitting names that should appear on the lists.
II eomPsls the tickets to be twisted BY the judges
before they are dropped into the box. I,provides
for glass-boxss, and constant supervision by both
parties Of the entire election.
II makes the judges alternate in the counting
and calling Of ofthe tickets; each judge calls OF
ten tickets In succession. Il increases the num-
Der Of officers but reduces the pay and thus spends
less money than 10 spent under the present Law.
II throws too many guards around the balIO,-bOx,
which is . hndrance 10 suffers and repeaters. II
will make registration and elections too fair.
