THE INSANE HOSPITAL
An Abstract of the Visiting Committees
Report.

The following abstract is taken from one
of the most interesting reports of this
session of the Governor and Council
one showing the results of most careful
investigation into all the workings of the hos
pital department:
The visiting committee, A. b. Sumner,
Tobias Lord and Mrs. G.. X. Whidden, have
made visits to the Maine Insane HOspi tai
every month, at irregular intervals, and not
at stated or expected periods. The condi-
tion Of all departments is such as to offer no
opportunities for complaints or suggestions.
Much of the committees time has been given
to the patients, collectively and Individually.
They have been engaged in conversation and
listened to attentively. The letter boxes
have received their attention at each visit
Special efforts have been made to visit the
dining rooms at meal times and the food was
found TO meet all requirements most excel
IentIy. In addition to the regular bill Of fare
special bills are supplied in cases where their
use is indicated. a large per centage of pa
tieuts have been engaged in the different de-
partments of labor OF the institution, and it
is thought that not only does healthy and ju-
diciousIy selected manual and mental EN-
ployment afford diverting influences by which
the disordered mind of the individual is
turned into different channels from that of
dwelling upon himself; but often acts as a
powerful agent in restoring the diseased
brain TO its former strength and vigor. The
system of amusements has been entirely car
RED out. Ii has been found that music has
become very necessary adjunct in the treat
ment Of the insane and too much cannot be
said in favor of supporting means with which
to furnish suitable and frequent musical en-
tertainments both vocal and instrumental.
In addition 10 the hospital Libraries the pa
tients have access to all of the leading week
ly and daily papers of the State as well as to

the suavity of Melanethan il would have
been better for him. 4 June morning will
bring out more flowers than clustering
January morning. The next face in the
gallery is that of the lounger. He ALWAYS
comes at the wrong time and sits all about
the room. On the other hand how delight
ful 10 have old friends call on you.
Again we meet the man who must speak or
burst. Baalim's travelling companion spoke
and SO will they. Further on We meet him
who always has the blues. There is no eve
present who has never wept, But people who
have suffered most are happiest if their sor-
row has been sanctitied. To one misfortune
there are so advantages, There are whole or
chards of pippins 10 one crab apple tree. You
can't drive people into the Kingdom of God
with the butt end of catechism. A man
may fret himself down but he never frets
himself up. Good cheer divides ones bur
dens and carries three fourths of them. Food
and exercise hold close relations TO a mans
disposition. If YOU know what man eats vou
can feel his disposition. Have good horse
and take horse back rides Il say deliber-
ately that man who abuses a horse ought to
kicked by mule"
The religion of don't is bad one iu this
country. The best way 10 drive out bad
amusements is to push forward good ones.
II is easy TO 80 from dependency into pee
vlshness. There is no occasion to think that
the country is going 10 the dogs because par
ties change. No need of having blues about
our country. The speaker closed with a
powerful illustration drawn from the vividly
described scene presented by the burning of
the Smithsonian Institute in sight of the lofty
dome of our national capitol

The railroad men agree that the storm
today has been the worst one ever seen in
the Northwest for their business. Ii e1-
tends from the Rocky Mountains to Lake
Michigan. The worst effects were felt in
Dakota and Minnesota, where it had been
accompanied by wind which drifted the snow
badly III northern Dakota. The tempera-
ture is below zero and assumes the charac-
ter of a genuine blizzard. The railroads
had hardly finished clearing the tracks from
the previous storm when that of today alb
soluteIy blocked all the small roads. The
trains on the roads to Chicago were from
to hours late. All the main lines are still
open All the freights on the Northern Pa

Mr.. Townsend rep rted back the Boutelle
battle flag resolution amended by the com
mlttce on military affairs. Mr.. Boutelle had
10 objection to the amendment, though he
lid not think that the broadening of the
scope of the inquiry SO as to obtain Inform
alton as to the return of the flags to the
Northern states had any bearing upon the
purpose of the original resolution. No
banners belonging to the loyal states had
been captured by the United States, though
he had seen it stated that certain flags. cap
tured by rebels and recaptured by Union
troops had been returned to survivors of the
regiment which had borne them in battle.
Mr. Cox of New York rejoiced at the un-
animity with which the committee on mill
tary affairs had reported the resolution. The
country was to be congratulated upon the
fact that this resolution which concerned the
matter which had touched public stability so
greatly could he reported unanimously aud
