The Insane.

Though it appears that more than $780,
900 were disbursed from the State Treasury
on account of lunatics and lunatic asylums
during the last fiscal year. yet Virginia was
not able to provide for all her unhappy
people who need the shelter and treat
ment to be best secured in asylums.
1t may be that there are not so many In
sane confined in iails now as formerly. but
the number is still considerable, and the
Legislature at its next session will no
doubt be forced to make appropriations
for the enlargement of one or more of the
asylums.
1t is great pity that any lunatic should
ever have to be committed TO jail. It is
double pity where the person is a wo-
man. Yet there is often no other alterna-
tive, and it frequently occurs that the
commitment TO jail, intended to DO only
temporary-that is, until the asylum au-
thorihes can be communicated with
lasts q long time. as vacancies in asylums
are by no meansas numerous ssapplicants.
We know of no remedy for this condition
Of affairs, except for the State to increase
the asylum accommodations to keep pace
with our obligations to the growing num-
Der of these unfortunate people.
A year or two ago Governor McKIssEY,
in correspondence on the subject of the
increase of lunacy. learned from number
of Governors that the evil was not confined
to Virginia. but. on the contrary. was gene
ral-general even in those States where the
weight and worry of the war in 1s61-'65 fell
very lightly indeed.
Everywhere there is demand for more
asylum accommodations. II is the accom-
paniment of our rushing civilization.

Sir Walter Raleigh never visited North
America. but went twice to Guiana, South
America.
First in 1895. He sailed from England
February 9th (old style) and returned late
in August or early in September Of the
same year wasin Guiana during April. May,
and June, late in March aud early In July.
See THE discoyerie of the large, rich,
and beautiful Empire of Guiana, with
relation of the great and golden cite Of Ma
noa (Which the Spaniards call FL Dorado
and the provinces of Emeria, Arromaia,
Amapaia, and other countries with their
rivers ADJOINING. Performed in the yeare
1895 by Sir w. Raleigh knight, captain of
her Maiesties guard, Lo. Warden of the
Stanneries. and her Highnesse Lieutenont
general of the Countie of Cornewall. I'm

1896"
Second in 1617-161s. He sailed from
Dover March goth and from Plymouth,
England. June -, 1917; from Cork in Ire
land August 10Th following, and after va
rious delays arrived in the "Oronoque'
river, South America, about the middle of
December: sailed from Guiana early in
March, 1913, rid the West Indies and the
Gulf Stream, along our whole coast to
Newfoundland and arrived in England in
June. 1913
See Sir Walter Raleigh's journal of his
second voyage to Guiana.
We have referred to Ralegh's own
writings; but. of course, there are other
authorities for these voyages. As to his
very celebrated second voyage-for one
side, see "The Life of Sir Walter Raleigh
by Edward Edwards for the other side,

Will you kindly inform me why the
Island Of Juan Fernandez, of the coast OF
South America in the Pacific Ocean. il
given as the scene of Robinson Crusoe's
adventures when one plainly understands
from reading the story that he was wreck.
ed in the Atlantic among the Lesser An
titles? A RxApyR.
Defoe was accused of having stolen the
materials for Robinson Crusos from the
narrative of Alexander Selkirk, but Sci.
kirk was not wrecked at all but yolunta-
rily went ashore on Juan Fernandez.
"Crusoe's Island" as the title of
his narrative states. was in the
northern hemisphere, in the Caribbean
Sea, near the mouth OF the Orinoco, and
the most probable prototype of Defoe,s
hero was Peter Serrano, who in the six
teenth century was shipwrecked and lived
alone for several years on an island in the
Caribbean Sea near the mouth of the ORR
noco," So says AppIston's CycIopedin.

nnestinns Ahont Staggers.

NORFOLK COUNTY, Va, March 2, 1891.
To the Editor Of he Dispatch:
1. Have you ever known a horse to re-
cover from the staggers?
2. Was his strength, speed. or disposition
materially afected2
3. Was he more addicted to new habits
than before? =,
4. know an animal about ten years old
that had the staggers, that recovered from
them. but has recently taken up the IN
pleasant habit of stopping at gates on
roads, which causes delay and trouble.
If you have q recipe for the relief OF this
habit you will please accept my grateful
thanks for the same. DISPATCH READER.
/. Yes.
2. In some cases undoubtedly. The causes
of staggers are many, hence they do not
affect all horses alike.
3. 1t may cause such an animal to be dull
or lazy.
4. A good, stout whip properly applied
will probably overcome the last bad habit.
