Alice Mitchell in the Asylum.

When the legislative visiting committee went
through the West Tennessee Asylum for the In
sane al Bolivar, says the Louisville Courier
Journal, their attention was naturally directed
more to Alice Mitchell than to ell the other
patients. They found the slayer OF her girl
friend in fine physical condition. She has
never been Ill a day in the nine months of her
confinement. She has gained twenty pounds
in weight and is handsome a girl as one
could wish to see. Mentally, however, she
shows no improvement. She seems content
with her lot, and has very little to say about the
outside world
When the name of Freda Ward is mentioned
she seems subdued by sad recoiIections for the
moment. but the influence soon passes away,
leaving her as joyous as ever. Her favorite
diversion is playin gths harmonica, which she
does frequently for the entertainment of the
other patients, all of whom have the greatest
affection for her. Before the tragedy of twelve
months ago she was a skillful performer on the
piano, but she is unable to stretch an octave
now, owing to having severed the leaders in
two fingers Of her right hand in handling the
razor with which she cut her victims throat.
The hand is not deformed, but the injured fin
gers have lost their former hexibility She is
frequently visited by members of her family
and seems glad to see them, but shows 10 grief
at their departure.
The most skeptical are now convinced that
the girls malady is genuine. and the asylum
physicians have no hope of her recovery.

From the London World.
The queen possesses an immense quantity of
wine, there being very large cellars, and most
of them full. at st. James Palace, Windsor
Castle and Buckingham Palace. No great stock
of wine is kept either at Osborne or at Balmo-
raj, the supplies of those places being renewed
as often as may be necessary. The queens col
