COMMITMENT TO AsYLUMs.

many respects. has been we'll received by
the state press. While there have been
few. If any, abuses Of a serious nature
connected with the commitment Of per-
sons to asylums in Virginia. the points
made by Dr. Foster are well worthy Of
the serious consideration of the General
Assembly. These points are % that as
the law now stands, persons are some
times sent 10 an asylum who are, weak
and feeble in intellect, as the result of
old age, but do not need special attention
for diseased minds, and hence should be
looked after at home or by county or
city authorities; C2) it is too easy mat
ter. under the present forms of law. 10
commit a person to an insane hospital,
ana greater safeguards should be thrown
around the individuals liberty. \ more
rigid examination Or. Foster is satisfied
would not only be in the interest OF indi-
vidual right. but would relieve the con-
gestion in the hospitals
And that being the case, it IS fair 10
infer that tho annual demands Of the
hospitals for the insane in the State upon
the Treasury would be decreased.

The rumor that Admiral Dewey has
decided. or Is about to deed, the house
recently given him by the public. 10 his
bride. has caused no end Of comment and
criticism. In Washington some of the
remarks have been very harsh, and from
these it is evident that the great sea-
mans admirers are not inclined TO divide
his glory with Mrs. Dewey 1t is said
that the fair lady who Won the Admirars
heart already has abundant property Of
her own and a most comfortable income.
and that If anybody is 20 have the house
at Deweys death il should be his son.
This young man, by the way, is not
rich. though it cannot be denied that he
possesses a wealth Of modesty. Possibly
il may turn out at the last minute that
the whole thing is a mistake. Certainly,
Dewey would hardly have the bad taste
TO do anything which showed a lack of
appreciation of the honors already heap
ed upon him by his admirers.

SENSIBLE.

The Dutch Government has formally
announced that IT infinitely regrets the
sanguinary war in South Africa, and will
always be found willing to take advantage
of ali means which may conduce To
its termination. At the same time
it wishes it TO be known that IT does not
think it desirable now 10 make public
the steps that have been taken, or may
be taken I'm the future, seeing that the
British Government has declared that it
does not want the intervention of for
eign Powers.
That is very sensible on the part OF
the Dutch Government. considering that
some day the German Emperor may be
struck with a notion to attempt TO eX-
pand his empire towards the sea. And
in that event where would Holland be
without the friendship Of Great Britain?
