FOR EXTRAYABANCF.
The Extraordinary Charge Upon
which Al Lady Was Confined in "A Lan
attic Asylum.

PHILADELPHIA. PAM IS Adri-
anna Physlck Brinkle has just been
released from the State Lunatic Asy-
lum, where she has been confined for
twenty-seven years on the extra ordi-
nary charge OF "extravagqnce and
eccentricIty.n She is a daughter OF
the late DR.. William Draper Brinkle,
a physician, who enjoyed a large
practice and moved in the highest
circles of society here thirty years ago.
Miss Brinkle was an acknowledged
belle, a oma of great beauty and
accomplishments, and a popular fav-
orite. She was extremely extrava-
CANT, but an unfortunate change in
the financial standing OF her father
made it impossible for him to pay hey
bills as he had always done before.
Adrianna was unable to overcome
her extravagant tastes, and, without
knowing anything Of the law in such
cases, ordered a piano and a set of
furniture, which she sold before pay
ing for them. This proceeding scan
daliZed the set to which the Brinkles
belonged, and, rs it was stated at the
time, ''to save the family homer"
Miss Brinckle was sent to the asylum,
entering the institution in July, 1853.
When the twelfth national confer
ence of charities and corrections met
in Washington last June, one of the
delegates made the folio TlBg state
ment: "a beautiful and young lady,
used to wealth, is extravagant, and
her father, reduced in circumstances,
finds himself unable 10 restrain her
habit of spending money, concludes
she requires a custodian, places her IN
a hospital, needless Of her earnest pro-
tests; he dies, and leaves her there
there she has been nearly thirty years
and is now nearly 60 years of age and
still begging to be released, but the
custodian still thinks she needs GUS
todian care, and she remains to this
date under restraint of her personal
liberty"
This led to an investigation, and
Miss Brinkle was visited at the state
lunatic asylum at Harrisburg, and a
committee reported that there was no
evidence of insanity in her case, but
still no release came. and the unfor-
tunate woman almost abandoned
hope. The representatives of the State
Committee on Luuacy visited her,
however, and then the order came,
and she was sent out a free woman.
Upon her arrival in this city she was
taken to the convalescents retreat,
near Glen Mills, where she is being
tenderly cared for. Miss Brinkle is
now a gray-haircd woman of so, in
the full possession of her faculties and
in good bodily health

The EPIDEMIC OF Crime.

Whence comes this epidemic of sui
cides and murders? Recent discussions
have named several causes. Hon. CHI.
Reeve, of Indiana charges it to infidel
teachings-holding that hopelessness Of
a future state cripples fortitude for bear
ing life's ills. Another declares suffering
from the universal business depression
the cause. A third writer attributes IL
to increasing insanity, a physician
thinks much of the tendency is inherit
ed, while temperance advocates lay the
responsibility upoa strong drink.
F~ree-thinkers have committed suicide
hut so have orthodox churchmen.
Financial straits have beset many, but
the wealthy have also taken their lives.
Insanity and dissipation havapreceded
suicides and family murders.
One feature common to almost every
such crime challenges attention. Well
kigh every report of suicide and family
murder mentions the perpetrator as
having "for some time been subject to
melancholy" Whence comes this 9All
recognized medical authorities tell us
that the fire which consumes the brain
ia always kindled by arrangements Of
digestion; that good digestion is imeos-
sibla without pure blood. and pure
blood is mover known when the liver

such circumstances, a preventive should
be sought, and for this Warmers safe

How Flying Fish Fly.
Cor. to Nature.

An excellent opportunity of observ-
ing the aerial means of propulsion in
the flying fish was afforded me during
a six days calm lately when crossing
the Bay of Bengal. watched day by
day some hundreds rise under the
bows of the ship. The water surface
was a CLASSY calm. AS each fish rose
It spread its wings at once, apparently
beating the surface with them two or
three strokes before they steadiea out.

cape from the ship, now gave ten or
a dozen rapid BEATS, which could be
counted by The ripples on the still sur
face, aud the fish was off in aerial
fight.
As each fish lost the impetus of the
first rise, which generally happened
at about ferty yaJds, the binoculars
showed us the anal FMS, which had
tll now been fully extended, droop-
ing to feel the water. AS soon as the
surface was felt the tail was introduce

another drop sent it on again, and so

IN this way 400 to 500 yards. The
younger fish frequently fsll awkward

when waves are running it requires
a clever fish to gain impetus by a few

Rats Warn Miners of Impending
Danger.
Virginia City CNev.) Enterprise.


Old miners have a great respect for
the rats of the lower levels. They
neither kill the rats nor suffer them
to be killed by green hands. In the
first place, were there no other reason,
a dead rat left under ground would
scent up a whole level, and, in the
second place, the living rats devour
any bones, scraps of meat, or frag-
ments Of other goods left in the mines,
which would, by their decay, vitiate
the air, generally hot and unpleasant
at best. Rats also give a warning
when a cave is about TO occur. They
feel the pressure of the settling ground
even before the cracking of the tlmbers
is heard, and come forth upon the
floor and scamper uneasily about by
scores. For these and other reasons
the miners have a friendly feeling
toward the rats, feeding and protects
ing them. In nearly every mine the
men have one or more Vi the little
animals as pets, and these are quite
tame, coming out of their holes TO be
fed at lunch time.
When rats come into q new drift or
crosscut it is considered q good sign
it is thought ~ mean that the mine
will strike ore. The other day when
the men we're at work on the face of a
new crosscut on the 200 level of the
Sierra Nevada mine a rat came into
them, travelling along the line Of the
compressed air pipe. When the little
rodent was seen some of the new
hands wanted to kill it, bat the old
miners would not allow it to be hurt.
They said it would bring luck to the
crosscut. So they fixed up in the roof
of the drift a box as a house for the
rat, and placed food near at hand, in
order that it might find its new quar~
ters profitable as we'll as comfortable.
There is much talk among the miners
about the coming of this rat, and the
mep in the new crosscut are very
proud of it and have high hopes on
account of its presence. Woe unto
the man who shall intentionally kill
that Sierra Nevada rat.
