For Maintenance of Insane,

The various superintendents of the
state lunatic hospitals nave been asked
by the auditor general for an estimate
of the amount which will be required
to pay for the maintenance of INDECENT
insane for the two years ended June,
1885, in each of these institutions.
Under the law, the state and the coun-
ties from which the INDECENT insane
were sent divide the expenses incurred
in their accommodation, the amount
not TO exceed $3.50 week per patient
and clothing. The last legislature ap-
propriated 100000 to pay these ex-
penses, but not more than Sl60,000
will be required according to the re-
ports received from the Danville and
Warren hospitals.
The legislature also appropriated
S65O,O00 to provide for the care of in
digent insane for two years ending
June, 1887, which amount, it is thought,
will be insufficient owing to the in
creased demand fer accommodations
for this class of unfortunates. The
Blockley almshouse fire and the con.
sequent removal of its inmates to other
hospitals has largely increased the ex-
penses of the state for the maintenance
of INDECENT insane.
A superintendent of one of the state
hospitals said recently that the legisla-
tive appropriation was 100000 too
small to carry on its purpose. Anoth-
er superintendent gave it as his opin-
ion that the maintenance of INDECENT
insane at the state hospitals would
soon cost the state half million dol
lars a year.

Richmond May 3, ana was joined two
days later by the Ninth Corps under
Burnside, which brought up the force
10 100000 men. lie undertook TO
push through the Wilderness on Lees
right. so as to place himself between
the Confederate army and the Confed-
crate capital, but Lee, apprised of his
designs, boldly pushed forward to meet
him. The result was the bloody battle
OF the Wilderness. Grant was check
cd in his endeavor to get between Lees
army and Richmond. Having made
another advance by the left flank, Lee
again confronted him at Spottsylvania.
After this partial success and bloody
repulse" he repeated the movement only
to meet Lee IN strong position on the
North Anna River; and having tried
fourth time, he found his army con
fronting the absolutely impregnable
pits of Cold Harbor. Having suffered
great loss in this attack, Grant once
more moved his army by the left flank
and crossed the James. The day after
the success of Spottsylvania he sent his
famous dispatch to the Government,
which closed with the words 81 pro
pose to fight it out if il takes all sum
mer.' His losses during this cam
paign were 81, ,55l killed, wounded and
missing Lees losses were $4,000
Sherman opened his campaign to AT
lanta as soon as Grant telegraphed him
that he had crossed the Rapidan. Mean
while several Hanking movements that
had been ordered by Grant were foil
ed, Sigel having been defeated at New
market by Breckenridge, Crook having
been compelled to retreat, and Butler
having failed to reduce Petersburg.
The situation then narrowed itself
down TO a siege of Petersburg, which
Grant began. Lee tried a diversion
movement by the invasion of Maryland
and an attack on Washington, but fail
ed, Sheridan having driven back the
invaders up the Shenandoah Valley.
Meantime Sherman pushed forward in
his great "march to the sea-" crushing
all opposition. Grant conducted the
operations against Petersburg with
vigor, but at a terrible cost of blood
shed. On April 2, 1865, Petersburg
fell, and the next day the "last ditch
was crossed and Grant entered Rich
mond. Then came the historic
scene at Appomattox Court House,
when Gen. Lee surrendered with 27,
900 men OH April 8. The war was at
an end, but at what cost Grants loss
in 1865 alone was over 10000 killed,
wounded and missing.
Grant then took up his headquarters
at Washington, and on July &c, 1866,
he was commissioned General of the
United States armies, the rank having
been created for him. After the sus-
pension of Secretary Stanton by Pre-
sident johnson, Aug II, 1867, Gen.
Grant vas made Secretary of War ad
interim, but returned it to Mr.. Stan.
ton Jan. Ia, 1868, after the Senate had
refused to sanction the latter's reno
val.

How Bruin Rugged a Busy Saw.

Talking about funny things" said
a big bronzed, bearded man in the
reading-room of an uptown hotel last
night, 'the funniest thing that l ever
heard of happened in my saw mill out
in Michigan. We used heavy up
right saw for saving heavy timber.
One day not long ago the men had all
gone to dinner, leaving the saw, which
ran by water power, going at full
speed. While we were away a big
black bear came into the mill and went
nosing around. The saw caught his
fur and twisted it little. Bruin didn t
like this for cent, 80 he turned around
and fetched the saw lick with his
paw. a blow with the other paw fol-
lowed and it was also cut. The bear
was by this time aroused to perfect
fury, and rushing at the saw caught it
in his grasp and gave a tremendous
hug 1t was his last hug, and we liv-
ed on bear steaks for week. When
we came up from dinner there was
half bear on each side of the saw,
which was going ahead as nicely as
though it had never Seen bear. This
is fact, so help me Bob" and the big
lumberman bit off fresh chew of to-
bacco.

chronological journal. !

In western Washington, between the
Cascade range on the east and the
coast, or Olympic range on the west,
ard between the 47th and 49th degrees
of north latitude, is a thickly timbered
belt of fir, cedar, alder, maple, and
other woods. Of these, fir probably
represents three-fo fourths. In the midst
of this wealth of forest, nature has
placed broad, deep arm of the Pa.
cific ocean-Puget sound-with which
it is connected by the strait of Fuca.
Thus not only has nature provided the
timber, but the waterway also by
which it is possible for the merchant
marine of the world to come and OBJ
tain their lumber supplies, much of
which, sometime in the future, must be
furnished from these forests. Already
the lumber trade with Australia, Cen
tral and South America, China, and the
islands of the pacific, amounts TO fully
75,00O,000 feet year, and employs a
fleet of about fifteen vessels every
month.
Puget sound is POO miles in length,
and has littoral of l,S00 miles. This
irregular shore line forms innumerable
harbors, splendidly adapted for
the erection of saw mills and other
working factories, and also for
the establishment of ship-yards.
Along this whole shore line, and from
thence on both sides as far as the eyes
reach nothing can be seen but the
vast and magnificent wealth of timber,
save here and there where man has es-
tablished mill port, town. or an oc.
casonal farm.
In the timber belt of western Wash
ingtOn there are 20,000,000 acres GOV.
cred with timber, most OF which is in
cluded within the limits named-au
area nearly equal to the combined areas
of the states of Connecticut, Massa
chusetts. Vermont aud New Hamp.
shire. This timber belt will average
25,O00 feet of lumber to the acre, or a
total of 500,0O0,OOO,OOO feet of lum-
ber Hence, the saw-mils of Puget
sound, with their present capacity Of
5OO,0O0,O00 feet a year, would take
1000 years to cut it down. The fir
trees frequently attain the height Of
25O feet, and planks OF lumber are
sometimes turned out of these mills
100 feet long.

Louis Liverpool was appointed on the

the force is to be opened to applicants
OF, pugilistic aspirations, then the pro-
lection of the citizens won't amount to
much, and it wants to be understood
clearly that if misconduct on the part of
Liverpool is reported, he must not be
held up as representation of the color
