THE CIrY's POOR.

County Commissioner Mahowald has
his hands full looking after the wants of
the city's poor and unfortunate. He has
four or five applications daily for relief.
and Considerable care and discrimina-
ton are needed to guard the interests
of the county from those who are able
but too lazy to work. The most of those
who are living off of the county poor
fund are old people who have passed
the stage of their existence when they
can toll for living, and unfortunate,
deluded females. who are the victims
of mans INCONSISTENCY. The former
class is composed largely of those who,
like the cricket, make no store for the
future during the summer of their eXis
tence, but use up their means in the
ENJOYMENT of the present. With moth
ing to support their declining days. they
experience the bitterness of poverty
and gladly accept the aims which 2
wealthy county dolesout to them. There
is another class, however, more justly
entitled to enjoy the iberality of their
more fortunate neighbors. They are
those upon whose lives Dame Fortune
has turned cold glance. Either un-
fortunate in business, oppressed by too
large families, or reduced to their
present state through wasting sickness
or other unavoidable cause, they look
back upon lives that have been spent in
vain, so far as securing them the COM
forts which would be 80 dear to them,
now that the weakness of age has fallen
upon them.
But there is a plethora of grass wild
ows. There are old ones and Youngones,
homely ones and fairly good looking
ones, grass widows with little children
and those without any. The most OF
these married before they were out of
their teens, before the romance of life
had been brushed aside by its practical
side. Becoming petulant at the many
restraints and worries of married eXis-
tence, they quickly tired their husbands

took the shortest course out of their
troubles by decamping. Sometimes
loving, trusting wives were cruelty de-
ceiyed by men whom they adored, but
who were devoid of principle. A sad
feature of the experience of these young
women Is the fact that many are left
with babes whose wants ana care de-
prive their mothers of the chance to
seek their own living.
Yesterday Mr.. Mahowald had case
which is illustrative of this latter class.
He was called to house in the Third
ward, where he found young woman
with two children, one two years old
and one about month or two old.
There was neither wood i4 the house
for fuel, nor food. The neighbors had
supplied the wants of the family for
some days. The woman's husband left
month ago for Austin, to visit his
parents, and has not yet returned, and
refuses to send home any money, though
be does not fail to write. A great many
other cases could be cited, to show how
many scalawags there are in the world.

POOR FIOO'S COFFIN.
How - Heartiess Maid Desecrsted 1t for
Eilthy Luore's Snke.


A wealthy Boston woman went abroad,
accompanied by her pet dog and couple of
maids, one TO attend TO HIM and one to lool,
after the secondary matter Of the comfUif
Of the mistress But alas exclaims Arlo
Bates in the Providence Or. H. Journal,
even pet dogs can not live forever, and the
end OF this pampered CANNES career came
in Paris. His mistress was well.nigh heart
broken. II seemed to her particularly cruel
that Fido, or whatever his precious name
may have been, should have been forced TO
meet his end far from his native land and
the four legged friends with whom he had
always been In snarling disaccord, She
vowed that at least his ashes should rest in
his native soil. She had n beautiful caskct
made, and, cutting short her visit abroad,
she started for America with the remains
of her fayorite, utterly prostrated by the
bereayoment which had come 10 her
All went smoothly until Boston was
reached, and then the custom,house officer
insisted upon examining the contents Of
Fidos coffin. IL was afterward discovered
that the lady's maid had on the voyage
quarreled with the other servant, and
had gwen them the hunt upon which
they acted, the lady protested, I'M
plored and thrsatenod, all in vain.
AhS oihNois WerV UfL@i ana The dogs
attendant was forced TO produce the keys OF
the casfet Amid tho lady's indignant pro
tests at this rude violation of her darlmg's
fest, ihe cofiln was opened, and found To
be full OF lace, gloves and other feminine
frlpperies. The maid had heartessly dis.
posed OF the sacred remains OF Fido and
used his casket as a cover for various trides
upon which she had a feminine ndisposition
TO pay duty The rage of tho mistress
beggars description, and must be left to
the imagination, She wept and stormed,
dischargng, with much impartiality, both
her servants on the spot But life has its
consultations. She is already halfway out
OF mourning for Fido she has two new
maids and new dog, the last duly adorned
with lavender ribbons in mitigated remem-
oranoo OF his departed predecessor, the
place OF whose grave, like that of Noses, no
man knoweth 10 this day.

is INSANITY DURABLE.
How 1t Happens That Many Asylum
Confne Sane Patients.

How 1t Happens That Many Asylums
Confine Sane Patients.
A New York correspondent asked a
young doctor who has served his time ia
the Morris Plains Asylum whether sane
people were ever kept there when they
ought TO be at liberty.
"1hat is a very delicate question:" he
said, "and very hard to answer The
dividing line between sanity and insanity is
very narrow and very faint sometimes, and
il Is a very delicate matter 10 say when a
person has crossed IL. Sometimes patient
will be jolly and apparently sane for months
and then suddenly fall back into the depths
perhaps INTO the dangerous stage-of
lunacy. 1t may be laid down as a safe rule
that man who has been once insane may
become so again, especially IL worried and
fretted, and facts like these must enter into
any discussion of the question you have
asked.
"Now 1t frequently happens here, as at
all asylums, that a patient reaches the state
so close TO a cure that il would be hard 10
say that he was not all right He
begins TO fret over his confinement, and il
he could be taken out and not worried with
the cares which invariably accompany a
battle with the world, he would be far bet
ter on, perhaps, than under the naggng in
huence Of the bolts and bars which he
knows in an asylum stands between him
and liberty. To send such man out INTO
the world and compel him TO fight for him
self would be cruel. Nine times out Of ten
he would be back again very soon and much
the worse for having left the asylum. /
will say this, that if the medical staff Of a
New Jersey asylum is satisfied that patient
is thoroughly cured-cured so well that he
or she can face the strain of battle with
life-no heartless relatives would be able to
keep that patient imprisoned"
but how about inebriate patientsr
asked the reporter.
"Wen, they are sort OF exception 10 the
rule" said the doctor. "Many a man is
kept in an asylum who is perfectly sane
who II he were allowed the liberty Of the
outside world, would be sure TO drink 10 ex-
cess The insanity of drink is in him. Such
man, think, is better behind asylum
