SELECT STORY.
LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT.
"How do you fool now, mother
dear I" asked a tender young voice.
"U vour head any better t"
'So, Malilc. It aolies and ncliec,
until I almost wish that I could die.
Lay your hand here."
Maliel's cheek paled as hor mother
tcok her hand and pressed it against
her temple.
Situh fire would soon burn nut life's
flickering taper.
She wet a cloth and bound it 'round
the fevered head. As she did so tho
sick woman gave a sigh of relief. She
opened her eyes and turned a grateful
look upon the girl.
"Do you know, Mabel," sho said
feebly, "I dreamed last night of tho
dear old homo whciM we lived before
your father died. You were a wee
toddling baby then. It seems to me,
if I could have somo of tho (lowers
that grew in the garden in lrontof the
house, the very smell of them would
cine me."
Tears rushed to Mabel's eyes. They
lived in tho great crowded city, and
they wcro poor. Mabel could not
spare from her scanty hoard even tho
trilling sum for which sho could buy a
bunch of (lowers from the vendors who
were stationed at so many different
places along the stieet.
How could sho get somo of the fra
grant llowers for her mother t
Suddenly came a thought of an old
fashioned mansion a little way out of
tho city. It was embowered in a wil
derness of bloom.
Surely it would bo no harm for her
to go and ask for some tlowors, they
could but rcfuso them.
She bent over tho invalid and kissed
her.
"Mother,"' sho said softly, "if you
will bo content to stay alone for a few
hours I think I can gratify your long
ing if not for the blossoms that grew
about your old homo for somo just
like them. I will ask Mrs. Gray to
come in and give you your mcdicino
regularly."
Mrs. Gray was a kiud-licaited
woman who occupied a part of the
house in which liny lived, aid stio
readily consonted to minister to the
invalid's comfort in any way she could
during Mabel's absence.
It was not without a tremor that
Mabel at last found herself in a broad,
lu-atly kept path which led to the
(.ivvimic mansion.
A huge mastiff sprang toward hi'ras
she neared tho bouse.
'Down, Nero ! Down !''
Tho speaker was an old gentlemati,
who evidently feared that the approach
of tho dog would intimidate Mabel.
Hut Nero contented herself with a
good-natured sniff, reserving his fiercer
side for a more suspicious paity.
His master looked pleased to see Ma
bel pat his head fearlessly. Tho truth
was, now that sho wa9 in the pres
ence of the stately-old master of tho
place, her heart failed her, and sho was
glad of an excusi- to defer asking for
the llowers.
"Well, Miss," ho said courteously,
"can I do anything to put you in the
way of finding tho person you arc
seeking ?''
"It is you sir. 1 came to ask you
for llowers for my sick mother."
"l'ick all you want. The more tho
belter. You are welcomo to all you
can carry."
Just then Mabel heard a clear, ring
ing voice shout: "Grandfather 1" and
out of tho cool, tiled hall, of which an
enchanting glimpse wasvisiblo through
tho open door, came a voulh wlio
looked to her like somo prlnco from a
fairy land.
Sho was not accustomed to the lux
urious habits of tho rich, and his dark
blue diessing gown, fastened by Jits
shimmering, woven gold, and tho richly
embroidered smoking oap which rested
on nis curly lieau, seemed to uer alto
gether too gorgeous a toilet for a
mortal like herself.
lint tho illusion only lasted for a
moment. A pair of brown eyes, just
tho color of a ripe chestnut, glanced
at her curiously as their owner came
down tho walk.
"You aro just tho ono I want,
Cliauncey. Got ray pruning-shears
and a basket off tho tablo in the lower
hall, and bring them to mo."
Cliauncey soon returned with the do
sired ai tides, and Mabel found herself
following Mr. Gwinno into tho garden.
She was soon laden wilh fragrant
spoils, and sho was sent home rejoio
ing with a kindly:
"Come actaiu when theso aro faded,"
from Mr. Gwinne.
When Mabel reached homo mid her
mother saw tho llowers, sho put out
her hands with a delighted exclama
tion. "Give them to me, child, quick!
Tho very Kight of them gives me new
strength !"
And when Mabel put tho fragrant
cluster in her hands, sho held them to
her faco in a muto caress.
After a while sho turned her eyes on
Mabel, with a look in them that start
led tho gill by its intensity.
Sho was not liko Mabel, who was
slight and pale, and who looked oven
inoio childish than her years, wilh
only her heavy mass of rippling curls
and her dark, appealing eyes to re
deem her faco from absoluto plainness.
Sho had evidently onco been a woman
of form and magnificent beauty.
Kvuii now her great fover-bright eyes
and hollow cheeks bore a weird, spec
tre liko semblance of health, but it was
delusive.
"My darling," sho whispered, "you
have brought mo a blessing and you
shall bo rowarded. To-morrow I will
throw prido to tho winds and dictate a
letter to my father which shall rcstoro
my child to her rights. Oh, Mabel,
nature is an unerring teacher, and In
your lovo and obedience to me I havo,
at tills lato day, learned a lesson of
duty. I was, when young, carefully
educated in all but that most import
ant of lessons to a child, filial obedi
ence I was brought up to think that my
own wishes must bo gratified at any
coslj nnd when I met and loved your
father, instead of waiting patiently to
gain a consent which my indulgent pa
rents could not long havo withheld to
our union, wo were married clandes
tinely. My ono effort at reconcilia
tion 'was not successful and and
but, darling, I am too weary to say any
more. Another day 1 will finish my
story."
BLOOMSBURG, PA.,
Hut when tho morrow's sun shonu
into (ho room, it wns to rest, liko a
voiceless bcni'diclioii, upon a clay-clad
fonn,( and tiiion a mothrrleis girl alone
wilh it and tier sorrow.
At first tho desolate ohlld for Ma
bel was but fourteen was conscious
only of her bereavement. Hut soon
came a thought which brought wilh it
such keen pain that It aroused her to
Instant action. Her darling mother
must not bo laid away to rest in tho
Potter's Field.
Sho would go to the kind old gen
tleman who had given her tho flowers,
and csk him for help In this trying
hour which had como to her young
me. ono lounti mm at Home.
"Oh, sir." sho said piteously, "n
niv
mother is lving cold and still, with nil
the sweet lifo gone out of hor beauti
ful boily 1 on are kind and rich. 1
know it is a groat deal to ask, but if
you keep them from laying her in a
charity grave I will pay back every
ponny you spend."
The pleading, tear-stained face, the
childish yet womanly ways of tho self
reliant littlo creature, thus pledged to
fulfill a duty which would entail long
hours of labor and days of anchorite
abstinenco before it could bo accom
plished, touched a chord in Kundolph
Gwinnc's heart.
"Go home, littlo one," ho said gent
ly, "and mourn your dead. Do not
fear; I will seo that all needful ar
rangements aro attended to."
After all was over, Mabel settled
down again to her monotonous routino
of work. Every week sho scrupulous
ly laid aside a portion of her earnings
ami carried mem io mr. uwinne, wlio
took them from her with apparent in
difference. The child had made a contract with
him, and out of respect to hor the man
of business carried it out to the letter.
At livtt tho final payment was made.
As Mabel turned to go, after thanking
her benefactor, his voico recalled her
to his side.
"Littlo Mabel," ho said, "I havo
been an interested spectator of your
manner of lifo since you and I made
our bargain. I have seen your checks
grow palo for want of tho food you
persisted in denying yourself, that you
might bring your weekly hoard lo mo,
and I wondered if ono so young would
bo able to carry out so high a resolve.
You have succeeded and all your lifo
long jou will have it lo remember.
Now, your part is done, and mine bo
gins. Give mo your hand, my child,
for Randolph Gwinne respects you.
More than that, ho loves you well
enough to ask you lo becomu bis
adopted daughter. Coma and make
your homo with me. You shall have ev
ery advantage that bountiful means can
provide. You will havo no objections,
Cliauncey, my boy, will you T" as his
grandson came into tho room.
A few words explained his meaning,
and Cliauncey turned his handsome
eyes indifferently toward tho hesitating
girl. It was not tho first tirao thoy
had met as Mabel was conscious in
every tibro of her sensitive being, but
Chauucoy did not remember her.
So tho careless but good-natured "of
course, grandfather, ono moro or less
docs not matter in this great house,"
sank deep into Mabel's memory; to
riso again to tho surface and influence
her futuro long after Cliauncey had
forgotten them.
So it was that Mabol was domiciled
at tho Gwinues. A governess was en
gaged for hor, and musio and uainliug
lessons soon occupied tho time not en
gaged in her studies. Thus a year
passed on.
One morning the daily paper was
brought as usual to Mr. Gwinne, as ho
was sitting at tho breakfast table, sip
ping coffee.
Suddenly an exclamation from him
arrested Mabel's attention.
I la had read a notice asking for
tboiknowlodgo of the whereabouts of
ono Ilachel Krccland, whoso married
uamo was Wynne. Her only surviving
parent had died, and she, if living, was
solo heiress to a largo fortune; if dead,
her children would inherit.
"Well I remember poor Rachel,-"
said Mr. Gwinno musingly. "She was
the handsomest girl I ever saw. Sho
gavo up nil for love, and raado a clan
destine marriago with a man of whom
her parents disapproved. I wonder if
sho is alive 1"
Mabel roso from tho tablo, aud wont
to Mr. Gwinno. Sho was very pale,
but her eyes shono with oxcitement.
"Uachcl 1'Ycoland was my mother's
maiden name. Oh, my kind benefac
tor, how littlo you know whoso child
it was you wero befriending ! Hut for
you sho would bo sleeping in a naino
less gravo 1"
"Truly, tho ways of God aro mys
terious!" said tho kind-hearted old
gentleman, taking oft his spectacles
to wipe away tho sudden mist that
blurred them.
Mabel had no difficulty in proving
her claim, as her parents' marriage cer
tificate was found among some papers
stowed away in tho chest. So tho or
pliau waif adopted by Randolph was
now independently wealthy in her own
right.
Mabel was now fit teen. Sho had
not changed much in personal appear
anco during tho year ofjier stay at
tho Gwiunes'. She was still Blight
and rather undersized. Her complex
ion was rather sallow, and though her
features were regular, stio was undeni
ably plain. Her luxuriant shining
hair and lustrous eyes, were, however,
sufficient to redeem her from positive
ugliness.
Cliauncey was still a student, coining
homo only for his collego vacations,
aud then burying himself in his be
loved books, so that ho was visiblo only
at meal times.
Suddenly Mr. Gwinno's health
failed, and ho was orderod abroad.
Mabel aud Miss Clay, her govcrnoss,
accompanied him. Thoy remained
away from homo threo years.
Then word camo to Cliauncey thoy
wero coming homo. Thoy wero tired
of travel, and Mr. Gwinno had ipiito
recovered I. is health.
Chaunooy met them at tho station.
He was handsome and iudiflcrcut-look
ing as over, but was truly, in his ap
ncaraucc, a king among men to Ma
bel's partial eyes.
As tho littlo party ho had come to
meet drew near, ho gavo his grand
father a cordial shake of the hand,
and turned towards Mabel, to find
himself confronted by a tall, stately
girl, with flashing dark eyes, set in a
face of Biich loveliness that ho was, for
a momonl, iiazzio J
FRIDAY, JULY 31,
"I bog your pardon, I thought it
was my cousin,' ho said, turn I tin to
tho other lady.
Hut when Miss Clav's familiar feat
ures met his oyos, ho askod:
"Whero is Mabel, have you loft her
behind t"
"Don't you knoiv me, Cousin Chauu
coy t" asked a morry voico besido him,
and tho bcautltul apparition ho had
mistaken for a stranger put out her
gloved hand in a half-playful, half
friendly way.
From that time tho young student's
torture commenced.
Mabel, who had left home a half-
grown girl, had gained wilh maturity
nio rounded suppleness ot lorm as
well as the queenly dignity of a young
Diana; and with tho rich color, which
had chased away tho pallor of her
cheeks, had come that dcliciom, com
plexion so rarely seen with daik hair.
An old and moro experienced judge
of beauty would, years before, have
seen its promiso in thoso regular feat
ures, and straight, though at that time,
angular outlines but to her adopted
cousin it was a surprise.
Ho looked upon it as upon a miracle,
and overy now glimpso of her bewitch
ing foco served but to deepen the im
pression. Hut Mabel had chnuged in other
things besido a beauty. Sho was in
comprehensible to him in her varied
moods.
Now gravo now gay now majes
tic as a princess now gentle and sim
plo as n child.
Cliauncey knew not what to mako
of her. Hut ho was fully conscious of
ono truth; that ho loved the vory
ground her tiny feet had pressed. Ho
was her shadow.
At last ho grow desperate.
She should not thus hold him aloof
and play with his feelings any longer.
It might be amusement to her, but it
was making his lifo a torture.
So ho captured her in the library ono
morning, before the rest of tho family
had made their appearance, and pressed
his suit with nn earnestness which
would havo moved a heart of stone.
Hut to all appearance it had no of
feet on Mabel. She answered with a
careless smile:
"In a house, liko this, whero 'one or
moro doesn't matter,' it would bo well
for you to think twice before offering
yourself to me;" and sho swept trorn
tho room, leaving Chauncey lost in a
maze of bewilderment and anger.
Her debt was paid. Hut was Ma
bel happy. It was hard to tell from
her appearance in society.
Cliauncey made no attempt at recon
ciliation; and tho two young hearts
daily drifted farther apart, until the
day it happened that the samo spirit
stirred within them both a longing
for a walk in tho garden.
Winter had passed, and Summer had
come, so had the (lowers.
They met boside tho samo luxuriant
ly laden bushes from which Mabel had
carried the clusters to her sick mother.
Thero eyes met involuntarily. In
suito of his wounded pride, Chauncey's
wild lovo sprang into renewed life, and
ho heW out his arms entrcatingly.
"O, Mabel, forgivo me 1 I was but
a careless, thoughtless boy. It is tho
man who now appreciates you, and
loves you better than his own life."
Another moment and Mabel's queen
ly head was resting on his breast.
"It was because I loved you oven
then that your words had power lo
sting me so cruelly. Thoy rankled all
through tho years that followed them.
Hut the pain is gone now."
So amid the tlowors was told another
of those stories as old as the first lovo
tale in Eden, and yet as young as the
morning which ushers in a now day.
The Great Forests of ruget Sound.
Phrenological Journal.
In western Washington, betwoen tho
Cascade range on tho oast and the
coast, or Olympic range on the west,
and between tho -17th and -19th degrees
of north latitude, is a thickly timbered
belt of fir, cedar, alder, maple, and
othor woods. Of these, fir probably
represents three-fourths. In tho midst
of this wealth of forest, nature has

cific ocean l'uget sound wilh which
it is connected by tho strait of Fuca.
itius not only bos naturo provided tho
timber, but tho water-way also by
which it is possiblo for the merchant
marine of tho woild to como ami ob
tain their lumber supplies, much of
which, sometime in tho future, must bo
furnished from theso forests. Already
tho lumber trado with Australia, Cen
tral nnd South America, China, and tho
islands of the pacific, amounts to fully
7.",000,000 feet a )ear, and employs a
fleet of about fifteen vessels every
month.
Pugct sound is 200 miles in length,
and has a littoral of 1,800 miles. This
irregular shore lino forms innumerable
harbors, splendidly adapted for
the erection of saw mills and other
wood-working factories, nnd also for
the establishment of ship-yards.
Along this whole shore line, and from
thence on both sides as far as tho eyes
reach nothing cau bo seen but tho
vast and magnificent wealth of timber,
save heio and there whero man has es
tablished a mill port, a town, or on oc
casional farm.
In tho timber belt of western Wash
ington there are '20,000,000 ncres coy
ercd with timber, most of which is in
eluded within tho limits named an
area nearly equal to tho combined areas
of tho states of Connecticut, Massa
chusetts, Vermont and New Hamp
shire. This timber belt will averago
2i5,000 feet of lumber to tho acre, or a
total of u00,000,000,000 feet of lum
ber. Hence, tho saw-mills of Pugct
sound, with their present oapaoity of
flOO.OOO.OOO foot a year, would take
1,000 years to cut It down. Tho fir

Ulysses Simpson Grant was born at
Point Pleasant, O., April 27, 1822,and
is of Scotch descent. In 182!) his par
ents removed to Georgutown.O., where
his boyhood was passed. lie entered
West Point in 1839, tho appointee of
Congressman Thomas L. Harmor. His
name was originally Hiram Ulyfscs,
but through a blunder tho appointment
was mado out for Ulycses S., nnd so it
had to remain. During his courso at
tho academy lie showod much profi
ciency in mathematics, Ho graduated
in 1813, ranking twenty.first in n class
of thirty-nine. Ho wns raado n brevet
second lieutenant of infantry nnd 'at
tached as a supernumerary lieutenant
to the Fourth Regiment, then station
ed on the Missouri fronttor. In 181.)
the regiment was ordered to Texas to
join tho army of Gen. Taylor, and on
Sept. 30 Grant was commissioned as a
luH lieutenant. He had his firt ex
perience of war in tho battle of Palo
Alto. MayS, 181C. and ho also took
part in the battles of Rcsaca do la Pal
ma, Monterey ui.d tho slego of Vera
Cruz In April, 1817, ho was Quar
termaster of the regiment, but still par
ticipated in all activo operations, and
on Sept. 8, 1847, ho was appointed on
tho field a first lieutenant for his gal
lantry. Col. Garland, in bis report of
tho battlo of Chapullepcc, Sept. 13,
1847, said : "i must not omit to call
attention to Lieut. Grant, Fourth In
fantry, wtio acquitted himself most
nobly upon several occasions under my
own observation." For his conduct at
Chapullepcc Grant was brovcttcd cap
tain. After tho fall of tho City of Mex
ico ho came homo wilh his regiment
and was statioi ed first at Detroit and
afterwards at Sackett's Harbor. Ho
married Miss Julia T. Dent, of St.
Louis, sister of ono of his classmates,
in 1848. He accompanied his regt
mont to California and Oregon in 1852,
and while at Fort Vancouver, Aug. !,
1853, was commissioned full captain. lie
icsigncd his commission July 31, 1854,
and removed to St. Louis, where ho en
gaged in farming nnd in business as a
real estate agent. In 1859 ho was in
the employ of his father in the leather
trado in Galena, III.
At the fall of Foit Sumpter ho at
once offered his services to the Govern
ment. As a trained oflioer he was
gladly accepted aud appointed to com
mand a company of volunteers, until
ho became Colonel of the Twenty-first
Regiment, his commission dating from
June 17, 1801. Having organized and
trained his regiment, hu led itinto Mis
souri, whero it formed part of tho
guard of the Hannibal and St. Joseph
Railroad. On July 31 he was appoint
ed to tho command of the troops at
Mexico, Mo., forming a part of Gen.
Popo's force, and on August 23 was
promoted Hrigadier-Gencral of Volun
teers. Ho assumed command of tho
troops at Cario, which were soon in
creased by the addition of McClernard's
brigade. He seized Paduca, a strate
gic point of importance, and at the bat
tle of Frodcrickstowu and Belmont
held the Confederate General Jeff
Thompson in check. Gen. Halleck,
commanding tho Department of Mis
souri, gavo Grant tho command of the
district of Cairo, including Southern
Illinois, Kentucky west of tho Cum
berland River, and the southern coun
ties of Missouri. In February, 1802,
ho advanced on Forts Henry and Don
elson with 15,001) men, supported by
tho gunboats of Commodoro Foote.
The reduction of tho fust (Feb. G) was
chielly the woik of tho gunboats, but
Fort Donelson was only taken after a
desperate and bloody assault by the
troops ten days later. As tho first
great victoryjof the Federal arms, this
capture roused tho country to tho high
est pitch of enthusiasm, nnd Grant was
made a Major General, his commission
dating from tho day of battle. Gen.
C. F. Smith had been directed to mako
an expedition up the Tennessee with
about 40,000 men, but ho died soon
after ho started, and tho command de
volved on Gen. Grant. On April C,
18i2, reorganizing tho Union army,
which had been almost routed by Gen.
Albert Sidney Johnston at Pittsbun;
Landing, Grant drove the Confederates
back to Corinth. Tho loss was not far
from 12,000 on each sido. Gen. Grant
was slightly wounded.

On the recall of Halleck, Grant was
given command of tho West Tennessee
Department, defeated Price, put Rose
crans in command at Cornith nnd mov
ed on Vicksburg with tho Thirteenth
Army Corps. After several unsuccess
ful attempts against "tho Gibraltar of
the Mississippi" from tho north, Grant
marched his nimy down tho west bank
of tho river, crossed over below tho
city April 30, 1803, and having defeat
ed the enemy in several actions he pre
vented J. IS. Johnston from joining
Pemberton at Vicksburg. IIo laid
siego to thu city on the 18th of May.
After desiierato fighting and fearful
carnage the place surreudeied July 4,
1803, with 27,000 prisoners. For a
season the tide of war began to turn in
tho f avor of the Confederate forces.
Grant was promoted to Major-General
in tho regular army and placed in the
command of tho Division -f tho Missis
sipiii with Sherman, Thomas, Hnrnsido
and Hooker under his orders. After
tho capture of Vicksburg, Grant sent
heavy reinforcements to Sherman, who
was thereby enabled to drive tho Con
federate forco under Johnston out of
Jackson. Hracg havintr threatened
Chattanooga, Grant concentrated Ills
forces and drovo Hragg from Mission
ary Ridgo and Lookout Mouutain.
Uongress bestowed a gold medal on
tho victor, and revived for him tho
grade of Lieulenaut-Gonernl. Resolu
tions of thanks wero also passed by tho
Legislatures, of Now York and Ohio.

did any ono General command all tho
national armies. With nearly 700,000
men iu the field Grant now pi aimed
two campaigns to be carried on simul
taneously against vital points of tho
Confederacy the one under Gen.
Mead'v to operate against Richmond,
defended by Leo, tho other, under Slier
man, against Atlanta, dofendod by

Richmond May 3, ana was joined two
days later hy tho Ninth Corps under
Ilumsidc, which brought tin tho forco
to 140,000 men. He undertook to
push through tho Wilderness on Leo's
right, so ns to place himself between
urn uniuederate nimy and tho Confed
erate capital, but Lee, apprised of his
designs, boldly pushed forward to meet
him. The result wns tho bloody battle
of tho Wilderness. Grant was check
ed in his endeavor to get between Leo's
army nnd Richmond. Having made
another advance by the left flank, Leo
again confronted him at Spollsylvanin.
After this "partial success and bloody
repulse" heiepeatcd the movement only
to met Leo in a strong position on tho
North Anna River ; and having tried
a fourth time, ho found his army con
fronting the absolutely impregnable
pits of Cold Harbor. Having suffered
great loss in this attack, Grant onco
moro moved his nrmy by tho left flank
and crossed tho James. Tho day nftcr
tho buccss of Snottsylvania he sent his
famous dispatch to the Government,
which closed with the words : "I pro
pose lo fight it out if it takes ail sum
mer." Ills losses during this cam
paign were 51,551 killed, wounded and
missing Lee's losses were 32,000.
Sherman opened his campaign to At
lanta ns soon as Grant telegraphed him
that he had crossed tho Rapidan. Mean
while several flanking movements that
had been ordered by Grant wero foil
ed, Sigel having been defeated at Now
market by Hrcckenridge, Crook having
been compelled to retreat, and Butler
having failed to reduce Petersburg.
The situation then narrowed itself
down to a siege of Petersburg, which
Grant began. Leo tried a diversion
movement by tho invasion of Maryland
and an attack on Washington, but fail
ed, Sheridan having driven back the
invaders up the Shenandoah Valley.
Meantime Sherman pushed forward in
his great "march to the sea," crushing
ail opposition. Grant couducted tho
operations against Peteisburg with
vigor, but at a terrible cost of blood
shed. On April 2, 18G5, Petersburg
fell, and tho next day tho "last ditch''
was crossed and Grant entered Rich
mond. Then camo the historic
scene at Appomattox Court-llouse,
when Geo. Leo surrendered with 27,-
000 men on April 9. The war was at
an end, but at what cost t Grants loss
in 1805 alono was over 80,000 killed,
wounded and missing.
Grant then took up his headquarters
at Washington, nnd on July 20, 18GG,
he was commissioned Geneial of tho
United States armies, tho rank having
been created for him. After the sus
pension of Secretary Stanton by Pre
sidtint Johnson, Aug. 12, 1807, Gen.
Grant -vas made Secretary of War ad
interim, but returned it to Mr. Stan.

"Talking about fur.ny things," said
big bronzed, bearded man in the

heard of happened iu my saw mill out

Ono day not long ago the men had all
gone to dinner, leaving the saw, which
ran by water power, going at full

bacco. For Maintenance of Insane
Tho various superintendents of tho
stato lunatic hospitals have been asked
by tho auditor general for an estimate
of tho amount which will bo required
to pay for the maintenance of indigent
insane for tho two years ended June,
1885, iu each of theso institutions.
Under the law, tho state and tho coun
ties from which tho indigent insane
were sent divido tho expenses incurred
iu their accommodation, the amount
not lo exceed $3.50 a week per patient
and clothing. Tho last logislaturo ap
propriated S 100,000 to pay theso ex
penses, but not moro than $260,000
will bo required according to tho re
ports received from tho Danville and
Woiren hospitals.
The lecislatiiro also amironriated
8G50.000 to provide for tho caro of in-
digent insano for two years ending
June, 1887, which amount, it is thought,
...Ml l. ! ,1! ... - . ., . ,
n ut uu iiisuiiicieiii owing to mo in
creased demand for accommodations
for this olais of unfortunates. Tho
Hlockley almshouse tiro and tho con
sequent removal of its inmates to other
hospitals has largely increased thu ex
penses of the stato for tho maintenance
of indigent insane.
A superintendent of ouo of llio stato
hospitals said recently that the legisla
tive appropriation was Si 00,000 too
small to carry on its purpose. Anoth
er superintendent gavo it as his opin
ion that tho maintenance of indigent
iiiiano at llio stato hospitals would
soon cost tho stato half a million dol
