FINANCES.

The stewards report, which 1 present
herewith, will show the income of the asy-
lum, from what sources it was received, aLd
very fully in detail how it has been expend'
ed.
AS patients cannot be received into the
new building until an appro 2riation has
been made for thoir support, and as the
appropriation bill is usually passsd late in
the session of the Legislature, l assume
that nothing will be available for the main
tenance of the ninsty.s six patients, who are
to occupy the new male building, before
April 1, 1892. Basing the cost of their
support upon the average annual per capita
for several years past, it will require 81, 500
to support them for the last half of the cur
rent fiscal year, 1891 '92, and $4,000 for
the year 1S92'93. And as the new female
building, as it is now believed, will be
ready for occupation by ninety-eix female
patients by October 1, 1892, $15, 900 will be
eeded for their maintenance during 1872.
1913. The sum of $172 900 will be required
for the support of the patients now in the
asylum for the two years from October l,
1891, to September 80, 1898. therefore
recommend that the aggregate of these
sums, 1910, 900, be asked for as the appro-
priation on support account of this asylum
| for the next two fiscal years.
The per capita for this year has bsen
$153 3S. as against $151.77 for the year
1S89-'90. This increase of $1.61 is due to
rise in the prices of supplies. and if a
corresponding iise should take place in the
next two years. the appropriation asked for
above will be barely sufficient to support
the asylum. As it is, it is based upon the
expenditure of only forty-two cents day
for each inmate. for the supply of all his
wants of every kind.
l would also respectfully renew the rec
concentrations contained in my last annual
report to your bosrd, that ths sum Of 50,
coo be appropriated for furnishing the new
buildings, and $4,000 for building three
residences for the officers of the institution

AMUSEMENT AND RECREATION.

While the importance of useful labor has
been recognized, recreation and amuse-
ment have not been neglected during the
year. The officers have been dlligent in
continuing the usual weekly dances, cou-
certs, and theatrical entertainments, and
games of every kind. They tighten the
tedium of the winter months, and make a
pleasant break in the monotopy of asylum
life, and are only second, in my opinion, to
good nutritious food, rest, and occupation
in promoting the recovery of durable cases,
while they reconcile in some degree many
hopeless and weary patients to their lot,
and cause them for time to forget their
troubles.
| Some of the insane are extraordinarily
sensitive to impressions on their senses
from without, some consciously and others
unconsciously SO. Everything should,
therefore, be bright, cheerful looking, and
pleasing about an asylum. The looks and
manners of tho staff should be no exception
to this rule. AS matter Of fact pleas
snt-looking officer, employee, or attendant
with cheerful manner, will be better med
icine to many patients than more educa
ted and clever one, without these quail
ties.
In this connection, and in view of carry
ing out our ideas in promoting the cheerful
ness of asylum life, there has been organ
izad among the attendants, during the year
cornet band of ten Iieces, under the in
structiou and direction of Prof. T. M
Turner, of SGaunton. 1t is very gratifying
to me to be able to report that it has reach
ed such a degree of proficiency and skill
that their regular musical entertainment
on the front lawn and in the courtyard ar
a source of erjoymeGt to the inmates, re
lisving wonderfully the monotony of tn
wards. l hope it will be the pleasure OF th
Board to encourage this feature of musica
entertainments, now so popular 10 the Eng
lieh asylums, and in many of the large asy
lums of this country.

Among the deaths reported are the fol-
lowing interesting data: One was after
residence in the asylum of 40 years, one 80,
one 23. one 16, one 13, one -, and one 10
years.
When we consider the large number Of

death rate is very small. A large number
of the deaths was due to chronic physical
ailments and to the failure incident to old
age,

HEALTH OF THE ASYLUM.

The general health OF the institution,
containing IS has been said so many aged
and infirm persons, has been remarkably
good. The death table shows an almost
entire absence of any acute or preventible
disease. The sanitary condition of the
asylum is also excellent, to which fact is
due to large extent its immunity from
any epidemic of the zymotic diseases.

UNPARALLELED.
The Agricultural Outlook in
the United States.
The Wheat Crop Likely to Sur
pass All Precedent.

This Year 1t VIII Probably Amount to
$4,000, 900 Bushels. or an Increase
of Over 2S Per Cent. Over That Oi
180O-Ths Cotton Crop VIII Be About
that of Last Year-COrn WIN BE Above
the Average.
New York, July 2s.-Henry Clews,
In his financial review Of the past week,
says of our agricultural outlook
''Our agricultural crops, upon which
nearly one-half of our population are
directly dependent, afford upon the
whole promise of unparalleled results.
The cotton crop seems likely to follow
close upon the great volume of that of
last year. The corn crop, 30 far, indi-
Gates result beyond the average. And
the output of wheat is likely to surpass
all precedent.
"What quantity of wheat we shall
export, | leave to others to predict;
what quantity we could export, / leave
to be inferred from the fact that, during
the year ending July /, 1891, we ex-
ported 106, 600, 600 bushels of wheat and
-four, with crop of 100000 900 bushels,
which was 140,000,000 less than the
probable crop Of the present year, from
which it may be inferred that our actual
capacity for export out of this years
crop will be considerably over 100000
900 bushels, our highest previous export
having been 1856, 200, 900 bushels in 1881.
"The average value of our annual ex-
ports Of wheat and flour, for the last
seven years, has been $l08, 200, 600, the
average export price (reducing the -four
to wheaD having been eighty-four and
cents per bushel. Should the
exports out of this crop reach 300 900, 900
bushels and the export price average 81,
the value of our shipments in 1879
would exceed by $92 700, 900 the average
yearly shipment of the last seven years.
ION the basis of valuation, the present
crop, estimated at 540,000,000 bushels,
would give to the farmers, millers, car
riers and handlers total result of $780,,
900, 900 against $372, 800, 600 as the value
of last years crop of 400, 900, 900 bushels,
valued at an average export price of 93.2
cents per bushel.
Results like these, upon our three
great crops, mean an invaluable boon to
our great agricultural industry and to
all other industries dependent upon it,
the effects of which cannot fail to be
soon felt in a market revival of both our
internal and external commerce"

A DEEP-LAID PLOT.
How the Coal Creek Miners May Bring
Disgrace Upon the State.

How the Coal Creek Miners May Bring
Disgrace Upon the State.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 29.--Sunday
was day of rest, and discussions
throughout this section not only among
the miners, their friends and business
men, but church people as well.
The excitement attendant upon the re-
moval of the convicts from the mines
and their recent return to work after so
much fighting on paper is still high and
people cannot reconcile themselves to
the fact that everything has been salts
factorily and permanently adjusted
While the miners have made no visible
attempt at violence since the return of
the convicts to the mines, it is evident to
even casual observer that all is not
well. A scheme of the miners has Just
leaked out, which is of interest just
now.
1t is this: Unless the governor calls q
special session in the near future and
positive action is taken toward doing
away with the convict lease system, it is
the purpose to release the convicts, some
thing ON this plan-to let six or a dozen
of them to go at o time, furnish them
clothes and harbor them for few days
until it is safe to leave the country, or
take them back to the lessees and get a
liberal reward, thus not only bringing
disgrace upon the state, but causing an
immense loss to the lessees
1t is now question of debate with
prominent citizens of all parties through
ont, the state whether or not Governor
Buchanan has acted through all the
recent trOublps aS chief executive of n
state like Tennessee ought to have done.
Many think he has not, but all are for
the present praying for peace.

police having a hard struggle with the

AFFAIRS IN UnlLl.
A Battle Looked for That May Settle tn,
Revolution.

kNeNOluNlOEs
CoQUnMBo, July 29.-Once more the
prospect, within short time, of bat
tie between the forces of Balmaceda and
the insurgents causes great excitement
in this town. The Junta's troops are
massing at Huasco and it is expected
that they will soon be on the March to-
ward this place.
The congressional fleet will operate
here in the combined attack that is to be
made on the governments stronghold.
The Amazones, Aconcagua, Cocrane
and Esmeralda were seen lowering on
the outside of Coquimbo bay few days
since and an attack on the town is hour
ly expected.
For some reason or other they did not
storm Coquimbo, probably because the
land forces of the insurgents were not
then ready to cooperate.
At any rate they withdrew as sudden
ly as they appeared. Now they have
again been seen not far from Coquimbo.
1t is the general belief that the combined
attack will take place within three days
from this date.
The government forces are now
stronger here than ever. They have
been reinforced by men brought from
Valparaiso on Balmaceda's transports.
The Balmaceda army at Coquimbo
now numbers some 10000 men.
1t is said the insurgent troops are about
as numerous. The result of the engage
ment between the armies, therefore, will
depend on the respective fighting quality
of the Balmacedists and the insurgents.
One thing is very much In favor Of the
government troops. They are led by
experienced and brave officers.
1t is not likely that the insurgents
feet will have it all their own way in
making the attack. The best ships in
the government service are now on their
way north to engage their attention, so
as to let the land forces have it out be-
tween themselves
