From the States report we copy the folIoW1ng:
The resolution in reference ito mismanage-
ment of the Western Lunatic Asylum by the
present officers of said asylum came up imme-
diately after the Honse opened.
|. Mr. Opie (Democrat) arose and said hold
in y..hand, Mr.. Speaker, the report Of the Su-
perintendent of the Western Lunatic Asylum,
at Staunton. This report contains an outra-
geous, malicious and vindictive charge against
my party in the county of Augusta. The Super
intendent of the asylum, after the poisoning
which occurred there, which is familiar to every
| reading man in the State of Virginia, employ
ed a Pinkerton detective, He was introduced
into the asylum. That man was allowedsto visit
| the neighboring town. That man made re-
| port which say contains upon the face of 1t a
felonious and outrageous charge. say it is inn
portant and necessary that this committee (the
resolution provided for the appointment Of a
committee of investigation should be appoint
ed to show where the blame lies in regard to
| this poisoning. After the investigation made
by the grandjury they could not find and locate
the blame upon any particular individual.
| have now new evidence which. in my opin-
ion, will show that the poisoning was done
| through negligence and mismanagement and
not malice. do hope that it will be the pleas
ure of this House to appoint the committee
| Mr.. Opie then read the statement of the de-
tectiye in the superintendent report, which
| was as follows
| In accordance with your request we selected
a first-class detective to make the investigation
who was furnished with every facility by your.
self while at the asylum to get any information
that could be obtained. And the conclusion
arrived at, from the reports of the detectives
and personal interviews, is that the poisonins
resulted from no carelessness or lack of precau.
ton on the part of the Faculty, but was evident
! ~ the work of design and has been perpetrated
by parties outside of the Institution, whom it Ii
| unnecessary. and would also be iniudicious, Il
! name at this time.
| contend that that is compoundinga felon,
and the party should know that those who cal
locate this poisoning are accessory after the fact
and are as criminal as the man or individual
who committed it.
Mr. Pollard .(Denocrat) said shall vote
but not for the purpose of vindicating anybody
l shall vote to ascertain whether there has beel
any Acknowledgement of the asylum, If Their
has been let Us know it, that we may legisIat
on this subject 1t is question of public in

lie was a Cincinnati reporter, down

people. When he reached Birmingham,
Ala, he asked a policeman for the where
abouts of a Free Trader who would be
apt to- "pan ont" on an interview. The
officer walked him about half a mile and
turned him over to a second. and the
second passed him to a third. The third
was walking him to the City limits, when
the reporter inquired:
"DOes he live far from here?"

SONGS NEVER SUNG.

"How does that verse run? Something like
this, isn't it?
There are who touch the magic string.
And noisy fame is proud to win them;
Alas! for hose who ever sing,
But die with all their music in them"
'Yes, that's beautiful, pathetic and true,'
said your representative. "The poet alludes to
people who are somehow suppressed, and never
get their full allowance OF JOY and air. Which
reminds me of a letter shown me the other day
by HISCOx Il Co, of New York, signed by Mr..
Il. G. Williams, Of Chapman, Snyder q Co.,
Pa, a prominent business man Of that place.
He writes:
81 have suffered with asthma for over forty
years, and had a terrible attack in December
and January, 1882. / hardly know what
prompted me to take PARKER's Tonic. I did
SO, and the first day / took four doses. The
effect astonished me-. That night / slept as IL
nothing was the matter with me-, and have
ever since. l have had colds since, but no
asthma. My breathing is now as perfect as II
/ had never known that disease. II you know
name that PABKER'S Tonic will cure it--even
after forty years" There was q man who es-
capped the fate Of those whom the poet .laments.
This preparation, which has heretofore been
known as PABKER'S GINGBR Tonic, will here
after be advertised and sold under the name Of
PARKER's Tonic. Inasmuch as ginger is really
an unimportant Ingredient and unprincipIed
dealers are constantly deceiving their customers
by substituting inferior preparations under the
name OF ginger, we drop the misleading word.
There is no change, however, in the prepara-
ton itself, and all bottles remaining in the
hands OF dealers, wrapped under the name Of
PARKERS GINGER Tonic contain the genuine
medicine IL the facsimile signature of HIsC0x
