He was such pleasant fellow,
So polite, so polished. too;
Everywhere We went together,
He would murmur: After youls
Did we reach door together,
He would never first 60 through,
But would wait and let me pass him
Saying softly: After you"
Was there anything we wanted,
And was not enough for two,
He would always let me have it,
Always muttered: After you!"
So it was ON each occasion,
Whatsoe'r the case might be;
He would never be the leader,
But was always after me.
He had borrowed fifty dollars,
Maybe tits passing within,
But he has not since been heard OF,
And now am after him.

Sensation in Ohio.

A Cincinnati dispatch of the 7th inst.
says: THE grand jury in its report on
the condition Of the Longview insane asy-
lum created sensation. 1t was ascer-
tanned that 200 patients nightly slept on
the floor of the halls, that the water sup
ply is 10000 gallons short daily, and of
the supply received 10000 gallons is dirty
canal water. The dead are placed in the
cellar under the dining room and the
stencil is understandable.
The asylum was originally erected for
the benefit of Hamilton county alone. 1t
occupies one of the loveliest spots about the
city, and the view in all directions is lovely
In the extreme. After some years of in
different success as strictly county affair
1t was transferred to the state condition
ally. The county was to annually donate
a stated sum and the state the remainder
necessary for its maintenance. Gradually
it filed up with outside patients. Some
additions were made, but there was con-
slant friction between county and state
over financial affairs, which has finally re-
suited In the present condition of affairs.
It is one Of the four insane asylums sup
ported in whole or part by the state, and
while all are full this is the one most over
crowded.
For some time there have been rumors
Of shameful state of affairs at the asy-
lum and even the excitement over the
election has not prevented much excite,
ment over the grand jury's report. Last
night 81 insane women and l0l insane mea
slept on the floors of the halls OF the build
fnes because there was not even foOrroom
In the rooms. The most robust and clear
est minded patients are selected. Among
them are many who are members OF fine
families, carefully reared. and the hard
ships of such slumber must be death-in-
yiting.
The report condemns this outrage on
health, decency and safety, and says that
in case Of fire the loss of life would be
shocking. There are but twelve men to
handle the meager defense against fire,
there is only one hand engine on the place
and it is two miles to the nearest engine
house. The floors are described as rotten
in many places and likely to break through
If a rush occurred over them.
The death rate is unusually large, and
because OF lack of room the bodies while
ssiting for friends are placed in cell or
directly beneath the dining room, and
often the stencil is sitting. The report
does NOT blame the superintendent or en-
ployes, saying they do the best they can
under the circumstances, but building
that is crowded with 700 inmates is made
to bold 800 and provided with help for
only 300.n
