THE TOMBSTONE HOSPITAL ENvEsrIGA.
 TloN

The Cocmse county grand jury charges that the Tombston hospital, under the management of Gee. Han ger, has been conducted after the methods employed in the Chicago in- sane asylum, and an inmate contrast ing the treatment accorded patients by the present management with that received at the hands of Hanger, de- scribes it as ''heaven IS to hsll. Tho Epitaph editorially says;
 "ln one instance patient who was SC weak that he could scarcely stand, was forced out into the night air and as a consequence of the treatment and exposure died lnside of fifteen minutes after being taken m. In another case death was undoubtedly caused by ad- mlnisterlng the wrong medicine, One patient who was very low with ty- phoid malaria, and whose stomach would not bear the medicine pre-. scrbed, was seized by the steward and the medicine forced into his mouth, when it ran down his threat, and but for the assistance of other patients he would have died of strangulntion. One man complained that he could not sleep, when the steward remarked that he would give him something that would make hin sleep for forty hours and gave hm something m less than two hours the man was dead.
 With this testimony before them it is unaccountable why the grand jury dld not indict Hanger for murder, in- stead of for "aggravated assault as the indictment reads,

The outlook fer copper has matel rially improved during the past two weeks, in consequence of the agree. ment made between ihe principal American producers fixing the pJiee at l2c for Lake and He. for casting brands, aud what is still more lmpor. tant, the understanding reached, sub sequshtly, wi;h the holders of the de. funct syndicates copper, and with foreign producers, without which it would have heen next 10 impossible 10 sustain the market in the United States, as the large stock of metal held in Eastern cities, but owned abroad, testimated at from 30,000 10 10000 tons) would have been a continual menace and must have resulted ia the decentralization of the market.
 At l2c for Lake the consumption of copper will 0e largely increased oyes what it has been during the period of mgh prices since the syndicate began operations, and the lower price fixed upon will check production 10 some extent, although we can not see how the immense surplus in Europe and America is to be absorbed, as the pro duction of copper at 12a. will, most likely, be adequate to supply the worlds demands.

A FAMOUS BATTLE-GROUND,

On the banks of the Tippecanoe, a small stream which enters the Wabash River in Indiana, was fought the terrible battle oi Iippecanoe.
 h this great struggle of frontier times, the allied western lndians under the chie.tainship cf Eishwatawa, the "Prophptn were defeated in November, 1Sli. by tic Americans under the com mand oi Gen. Wm. H. Harrison.
 It was a desperate, hard fought battle, nnl much depended upon the result.
 Hal inc Indians been successful, all barriers of defence for the early settlers would have been oyertlirown and the deadly tomahawk would have been active in the rapid extermination of the remaining pioneers; On-the other hand the fortunate termination of the contest put an end 10 further attempts at open warfare by the Indians. The rich terri tory, so long oveTrun by hostile savages, was thrown open for settlement, which rapidly occurred ss5 soon as the news of the great victory became widespread.
 Naturally great praise was rendered to the success and intrepid bravery of Gen. Harrison and he was honored in many ways. He afterwards served IS Com mander of the Army of the Northwest, and when Indiana was admitted to State hood, he was selected to represent the State in the United States Senate. In lS4O he was elected President and his un fortunate demise occurred shortly after being inal gGratcd.
 The forty anniversary of the Battle of Tippecanoe found the gallant grandson of "Old Tp' leading his forces to great political victory which resul ed in the selection of Gen Ben. Harrison as President of the United States.
 The Harrisons have been hardy race ot men, sprung from old .oy cabin stock, which is sufficient guarantee of its genuineness wherever found. Real, izing the truth of this, great effort has been made 10 re-discoyer some of the SC. crets contained in the old log cabin sto,k of useful articles, and as tie result, the famous Old Log Cabin Sarsaparllla, universally regarded as the best Spring tonic and blood cleanser has been found. Not satisfied with the worldwide esteem which is held for Warners Safe Cur :, the only cure for kidney diseases, the proprietor is willing to do all that is pos, sible to establish Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparila as foremost among house. hold articles on account of it's purity and effectiveness.
 After all, each individual has, at all times, the gt eat battle of life or death to fIht, and for security attention must nc- cessarily be given 10 the best weapons which science can oifcr humanity in the great cen ct.

The belief that arrests for the Wham robbery are made bap-ha2ard doubtless originated from ths pub lished statement that 100 soldiers and Indian scouts were securing the country in quest of the robbers, and the natural conclusion was that, un- der such circumstances, the chase could not have been sufficiently sys- teniatized to insure success. Now that 1t is known that Marshal Meade and deputies have enlisted in still-hunt, public sentiment, in relation to the natter will undergo a change, and that no arrests will be made simply grounded upon suspicion, based upon tOWn-talk.

Lovers of the sensational have had their morbid appctltes appsased du- ring the past week, by the lengthy press dispatches, relating in detail the Crenin mystery, the Cook county, lll. insane asylnm investigation, and the Bishop inquest. The finding of Dr. Cronin's body in sewer, with gaping wounds speaking of violence, and the subsequent discovery of the cottage where the tragedy is believed to have traaspired, the floors marked with bleod stains, and revealing other evil dences of deadly struggle, point con clusively to his assassination, but who his murderers are has net yet been disclosed. In the absence of any other motive which can reasonably be as signed, and from the fact that Dr. Cronm was prominent figure in lrish- American circles and had antag- ogi2ed certain societies and alleged leaders in the cause, It is believed that hls murder was prompted by the de- sire to remove dangerous witness to their dishonest management.
 The insane asylum investigation has revealed state of affairs in that in stitutIon almost beyond credence, and will go far toward strengthening the suspicion Tn the public m,nd against all asylums for the insane. The ac- count of barbarous cruelties practiced upon the helpless inmates, in many in stances resulting in the death of the victims, IS unparalleled in similar dis closures, and the extreme penalty should be meted out to the perpstra- tors, as we'll as to those who are re- sponstble for the government of the asylum
 As was foreseen, the Bishep inquest has failed to establish ,he cause of the eminent mindreader's death, but the fact has been brought out that Bishop had been for years subject to catalepic fits, and on several occasions bore the ssmblanee of death for many hours, once for more than two days, when no slgn of life was apparent There IS no doubt but that the physicians whops formed the autopsy acted with incon- slderate haste, and can never foiute the charge that Bishop died al their hands. Their action is "a misdemeaner under the law. and they will likely have to suffer tue penalty,

Some of the Eastern press, and tbc San Francisco Chronicle, we are sorry to say, are denouucing the efforts of producers 10 regulate the price of cop per, The Chronicle refers to i. as the ugly speculation of the copper gang.
 This is a subject on which the press outside of copper producing districts, is incompetent 10 speak and newspa- pers only display their ignorance in making such rash charges It can net be truthiuliy maintained that l2c for Lake copper is an exhorbitaht price, since that metal never ruled lower, ex. cept during year and q quarter prior to the commencement of the French Syndicate operations, and had that combination not been formed, the market must have soon recovered from the unnatural depression, for tho req. son that the market was almost bare of metal, and production greatly re- stricted. The corner was unfortunate because the price was ferccd too high, resulting Tn decreased consumption and excessive production. Were itnot for the immense stocks of copper ac- cumulated by the syndicate, it is net likely that l2c. would prove toe high a figure to insure the consumption of all the copper that would be produced.

4 REMARKABLE ENGLISH CRUIsER-With some
interest naval architects in Washington await
ing further particulars of the performance Of a
remarkable cruiser built in England by the Arm
strongs. She Is named the Piemonte, and is said
to have made nineteen and half knots under
natural draft and over twenty one knots with
forced draft. The vessel measures $500 tons,
and carries engines of II 500 horse power, near
ly treble the proportionate horse power of the
new gunboat Yorktown. From the information
received at the Navy Department, it appears that
the hull of the ship weighs but go tons, and the
lightest possible construction, verging close on
weakness, is indicated. Elements of safety and
convenience, such as complete double bottoms
and handy coal bunkers, have been sacrificed for
the sake of ightness in the new vessel, which ac.
counts in large measure for the wonderful speed
said to have been obtained. Nevertheless, al
though the ship was built for the Italian govern
ment the British naval authorities made strenu-
GUS but unsuccessful efforts to purchase her from
the builders

Incidents of the Centennial CeIe-
braIiOn.

braIIOu.
The notice of the occasion ia Alexandria
copied by the GAZETTE from the Philadel
phia Record, s in every respect gratifying
aud valuable. One error, as to matter o.
fact, requires correction. Bishop White and
Dr.. Abercombie never denied that Wash
iugton was communicant in the church,
he did not commune in either of the church
es under their charge, during his residence
as President, in Philadelphia. 1t is proba
BILE that he did not, and if so it undoubtedly
was from reasons satisfactory TO himself
which be did not feel called On to make
public He was evidently one of those
characters who assume for the habits and
private actions of life, and with him espe.
cially in religion, responsibility to God,
not to man. 1t has been published by DIR.
Abercombe, jr., that bis father in sermon
when Washington was present, rebuked
those who, on communion days, did rot re-
main to partake of the communion. And
the statement wgs also made that
Washington commissioned one of his fam
lly to allude at some social gathering
to this sermon, and informally let it be
known that he understood it as personal to
himself. Apparently he desired it to be
received by all interested in the subject, as
all he had to say in reply 10 the rebuke..
1t was probably only wnen all who could
testify. from personalknowledge, that Wash
ingtou was communiCant, were dead or un-
known, that doubts onthe subject were pub.
licly suggested. To meet any such Mr.. Jared
Sparks, the accredited editor of Washing
toms Life and CORRESPONDENCE, addressed q
letter of inquiry TO Mrs. Lewis, Of Wood.
lawn, the adopted daughter of Washington,
the grand daughter of Mrs. Martha Wash
ingtou, who IS Miss Nellie Custis, was q
beloved member Of his family until her
marriage, and heiress OF large por-
ton of the Mount Vernon estate Her
reply, on the authority Of her mother and
grandmother, is probably The most beau
tiful and authentic representation of
the eminently Christian character of
Washington extant No doubt Of its
essential existence and Influence ever
entered in the minds of any of his FAM
iy. Mrs Lewis writes that Mrs, Washing
ton relied for consolation at his death in the
perfect assurance that the bond of faith ia q
common Saviour, which had never for mo-
ment been weakened, would exist forever
On the subject of the communion Mrs.
Lewis attests, on the authority which has
been stated, that Gen. Washington and Mra.
Washington always together attended
church and received the communion to the
time of the war of the revolution. With re.
spect to later dates and places, other than
the even tenor of Mount Vernon life, there
is as much evidence as could be reasonably
expected. 1t is enough to say that no neg
alive testimony exists, no doubt that the
character of Washington in its religious as
pect, as in all other elements, continued
without change to the last moment of life
steadfast and inlmorable.
