Journal OF Nervous Diseases

Willard Asylum from the Insane
has among its inmates Danish lady
of good education, who previous TO
her insanity, occupied a respectable
position in society. Her deluSion Is
that she is immensely wealthy the
queen of the universe. On all other
subjects she is relatively rational, and
.converses with ease and tluency She
has the delusion that the asylum is
her castle, built for herspecial benefit,
and that the attendants and inmates
are her servants Recently she
managed to elude the vigilance Of
the attendants and mail a letter to a
brother in Denmark, stating that she
had become wealthya and was living in
a magnificent mansion, surrounded
by luxury and attendants, and had
abundance to provide for herself and
family and closed by urging him to
accept her hospitality, and spend the
balance of his life with her. Having
frequently heard of the good luck of
his countryman ia the land across the
sea, he did not have a suspicion but
what fortune had favored his sister
and that she had actually become
rich. He therefore, proceeded im-
mediately to close out his little tailor
ing business, in which he had manag-
ed with difficulty, TO support his
family, and with the proceeds pur-
chased tickets for the transportation
of his wife and five children to Cen
trail New York Allowing the letter
announcing his intention of coming
only few days start, the little
family took ship for America with
light hearts and great expectations.
Arriving in New York, they set
aside barely sufficient to take them to
their destination, and spent the
remainder in improving their appear
ance. so that they should not bring
discredit upon their rich kinswoman
On reaching Ovid, the recognized
Willard, from the description IN the
sisters letters. The cruel disapoint-
ment of the brother and his wife was
pihable. Instead of finding wealthy
sister to welcome them to her palatial
abode, they found her in a hopeless
condition, and an inmate of an insane
asylum.
