NEW Works. A
Enough Grassy People In the State to
Make n City.

According to the ninth annual report
of the New York state commission in
lunacy, there are held in the various
asylums for the insane in New York
state 1853 persons.
Let us see, says a writer in Leslie's
Weekly, IL we can get some comprehen-
sion of what these figures represent, Of
the mere material loss they stand for.
Poughkeepsie, n. Y; Bangor, Me; Ce-
dar Rapids, Ia; New Albany, Ind, for
instance, are among the most prosperous
cities in their respective states. In daily
activities, in churches and schools, in
factories and stores, they are about
equivalent to the efforts of the same
number Of persons as are mine in
asylums for the insane that the state OF
New York is compelled to support. In
other words, the population Of these asy-
lums is nearly equal to that Of one of the
country's important cities.
If the comparison could be carried fur
Their and we could ascertain the number
or ordinary paupers, deaf and dumb,
blind, crippled, idiotic, epileptic, asylum
and hospital inmates and of other public
and semipublic philanthropic and correc'
tional institutions, the burden which
misfortune and crime put upon the sell

II was at n dinner in New York about
a month ago that broke the record for
cost" said Mr.. NJ. Il, Montrose of The
Metropolis in conversation with friends
at Chamberlin's.
at was a feast such as old Lucullus
or Epicurus never dreamed of. and even
in this luxurious epoch few of its kind
are seen. 1t was given by a gentleman
who had just reached the thirticth ami
versary of his birth, coincident with
which he came into possession of $780,
600 left by n relative who did not want
him to have possession of that much cash
till he had reached an age where presum-
ably he would be discreet enough to take
care of his inheritance.
"To this dinner he invited 10 guests,
the host completing the even score who
sat down in the beautifully decorated
banquet room. The bill for this enter
tainment was shown me, and | confess
that it gave me n shock as ! read the fig
ureS-S1, SG4. But slight figuring will
show that this made the cost per plate
exceed 500. The gentleman who gave
this expensive dinner paid the bill mer-
rily enough. and | don't suppose that he
thought the price at all excessive. No
body knows better than he does the tariff

boots disagreed with the sheep. Still,
