ton showed that in addition to adopting
the wait Mrs. Hendricks had charged her.
self with the child's education instead of
sending her to school. On Monday after
noon the child failed to learn lesson to
the satisfaction of Mrs. Hendricks, who as
a preliminary punishment tied her to the
knob of a door in such position that she
could only stand upright and here left her
all night. This was brutal enough in ali
conscience, but in the morning Mrs. Hem
bricks beat the poor girl with stick of
wood, and also with horewhip, cauter-
lied her body with red-hot poker, and
then applied mustard plasters to the
wounds. Mrs. Hendricks admitted these
brutalities and attempted to justify them
on the grounds that they were necessary to
cure the girl of her evil propensities.
The Prosecutor took the child's ante-mor-
tenn statement and she was sent to the city
hospital. Great excitement prevailed in
New Brunswick when the facts became
known, which is not much to be wondered
at. Mrs. Hendricks should be promptly
sent to State Prison, though we suppose
her friends, as is usual in such cases, will
rally to her support and endeavor to shield
her from punishment. Philanthropy and
mock religion has a great deal of influence
in this world.

A Lesson For the Police.

In the suit brought by William j. Right
er, of Parsippany, in Morris County,
against Policeman German, Judge Magic
laid down some very salutary law which it
will not be wise for the police of this city,
who have been in the habit of arrestlng
persons for everything and nothing
mainly nothing-upon their vague sus-
picions without any kind of legal warrant,
to disregard hereafter. Mr.. Fighter. while
riding through Orange, on one of his own
horses, early one morning last Fall, stop
ped to make an enquiry of Officer Cor
man. The officer concluded that he was a
bold horse thief, who had stopped to ques-
ton him with view of allaying suspicion
by the very bravado Of the act, and forth
with marched him and his horse to the
station house. When called into court to
explain his authority for making the arrest,
the officer pleaded an ordinance of the
City of Orange requiring policemen to ar
rest all persons found under suspicious
circumstances. Judge Magic charged the
Jury that the OTuiuAuc6 IeLeTT6u 10 was
invalid and void, there being no clause
in the Orange charter authorizing its pas
sage, and that as the charter itself does not
empower policeman to make arrests except
for the preservation of the peace, the ar
rest of the plaintiff was illegal. He further
charged that even if the plaintiff had
been guilty of the larceny of the horse, the
officer, not having any authority to make
an arrest except as above stated, would be
liable to prosecution both ciyilly and crimi-
nally for an assault and battery. Scarcely
day passes in this city when men are not
rushed into the station houses, because
some policeman has a groundless suspicion
against him, or because some frequently
unknown person has telegraphed from
some distant point requesting his arrest.
Judge Magic says that even a guilty man
has his remedy against his captor. If
every innocent man thus wantonly sub
jected to disgrace and discomfort were to
enforce the remedy, the police would be
less ready to interfere with the private
rights of the people.

THE NORRIS PLAINS ASYLUM.
Are the Tax Payers Paying for a Re-
treat for Rich OuistdeEsf

OF the total number at Morris Plains at
the date of the last report 1856 were private
patients, most of whom come from other
States Of the 684 private patients since
the Asylum opened in 1876, 255 of them
came from outside the State. OF these 219
were from New York, and the rest from
twelve other States in the Union, besides
Nova Scotia, Mexico and British Honduras.
Thus other States and countries were as
sisted in maintaining their insane in pala-
tlal buildings erected at the expense of
New Jersey taxpayers. During this period
the total number of patients sent from Es-
sex county only numbered 203, including
public and private ones.
The last annual report shows that from
the LOO patients who pay the sum of $67,-
6o5.71 was collected, or an average of
$453.67 each per year. The friends of
some OF the weather. patients, however,
pay for them as much as $40 to $50 week.
while those of the poor patients pay as low
as So, but still with no better accommodate
lions than those who are paupers and are
wholly dependent on the State. For the
maintenance of $50 public benefciaries
the different counties in the State paid
$85, 519.26, and the State itself $38, 1856. 26,
making total of $123, 874 So, or an average
OF $2l0.3l per patient. These figures
demonstrate concIusiveiy that the magAif-
cent institution at Morris Plains, which
was constructed at an expense of more than
So. 200, 900, partly drawn from Essex county
taxpayers, is run to large extent in the
interest of class of wealthy lunatics,
whose relatives provide them with spacious
and sumptuous quarters at Morris Plains.
Servants are allowed them if the patients
are able to pay for them. In some in
stances three and four large rooms are set
apart for one patient, and whole ward
could be secured, it would seem, if it were
wanted and any one would pay for it. It
is fact that cannot be denied that the in
stitution is run on the plan of a first-class
hotel for the insane, with capacity and ac-
commodations proportional to the ability
of the patients to pay. A hotel the size of
the Morris Plains Asylum, however, if run
on business principles, would advertise for
5000 or 1900 guests, and could not be run
at profit with only 745.-Newarc Sunday

Philanthropy sometimes manifests itself
in such brutal fashion as to suggest the
thought that if an occasional philanthro-
pist were consigned to some cannibalistic
tribe Of Africa with pious request that he
or she be eaten at the earliest opportunity
8 the world would be the better for it. The
latest manifestation of this sort occurred in
New Brunswick. Mrs. Elizabeth Hem
bricks is woman of alleged responsibility
and member of the church. Some time
ago she conceived the idea of doing some
thing in the philanthropical way by adopt
ing an orphan. With this object in view
she went to the Philadelphia Home for
Destitute Children where she selected for
the victim of her kindness an eight year
old girl by the name of Emma Belmont.
OF the girls life with this woman nothing
was known until Tuesday merning when
the neighbors heard noise as of some one
being beaten in Mrs. Hendricks's house.
One of them informed the police, and the
Chief, with the City Physician went to the
house where they found the child hidden
beneath q bundle Of rags in the garrett.
The poor child presented a terrible spec
tacle. Her limbs. facial bones and skull
were fractured and the physician said she
was in dying condition, though she was
still conscious and able to talk. Investiga-
