1t would be difficult to express at

The news of Carnot's assassination
created a pronounced sensation in
Washington; particularly in official
circles was the tragedy keenly felt and
most intelligently discussed. Presi-

Secretary Gresham, the French minis

INSANE OF THE STATE.

Difficult to Find Attendants For the
 Convict Wards at sIiddIetown.
 There are at the present time about one thousand SIX hundred patients in the Mid dletown institution which makes it un- comfortably crowded. and no more can be taken unless a change in the way of trans fer can be effected. It seemi a mistake that so many criminals from wethersfeld aye sent to Middletown when there is such a lack of room. and there is no doubt but that some of the cases adiudged insane. will bear A careful Invt stigation as to the reality of the disease.
 In many instances these Wethersfeld patients are extremely difficult to manage and the managers of the institution find II no easy matter 10 secure attendants for the convict w rds. There are very few deaths at the institution and so the list of inmates is seldom decreased in that way. Of course there are good many cures effected and patients are returned to their homes. but for every patient cured | and discharged. at least two are waiting to step into his place. It is an alarming fact but none the less true. that insanity is rapidly on the iacrease.
