Danville Intelligencer. The state beard of public charities at their last meeting suggested te the Legis lature that the trustees of the asylum at this place " be required in the recenstruc tien of the hospital te build accommoda tions for the different classes of the crimi nal insane of the state either in wards of the same building, or in a separate build ing such accommodations te be sufficient for 200 patients." The question of hew te provide for the criminal insane of the commonwealth has been agitated for several years. At ene time the beard of state charities under the lead et their piesideut. Mr. Jeseph Harrison a man of philanthropic views. but of few practical ideas insisted that the' criminal insane should be scut te the state institutions provided for the dement ed, and urged the Legislature te pass an act te effect this object. The writer, then a member of the State Senate, resisted the passage of the bill, mainly en the ground that the state 'hospitals were net built sufficiently strong te held this class. 1 hat a building te held them securely should be iu the nature of a prison house with massive belts and bars and ether previsions ag.iiust- escape. Te alter the present struct tiies te this condition would take away their light, airy and pleasant appearance and make them gloomy structures te constantly lcmiim the inmates that they were prisoners. The majority of the Legislature thought proper te pass the bill, and the result has been that whenever a desperate insane criminal has been removed te one of the state hos pitals he has invariably managed te effect his escape, as in the case of Laios and ethers. The trial has led the state beard of charities te the conclusion that te held the criminal insane securely, a strong prison-like structure must be erect;d. hence the late suggestion se the legisla ture that the trustees of the Danville hos pital "be required in the reconstruction of the hospital te build suitable accommo dations for the ditTcient classes of the ciiminal insane of the state, either in the waids of the same building, or in a separ ate building such accommodations te be sufficient for 200 patients." It would be utterly impossible te adapt any of the wards of the present structure, or what remains of them te the purpose suggested by the beard, without tearing them down te their loutulatieus and re building them en the plan of a prison house, which would mar the whole design and appearance of the hospital. The only way then te meet the difficulty would be te erect a separate building enclosed with a separate strong wall, in the rear of the present hospital. Such a building could be supplied with heat, water, light, venti lation, feed and ether conveniences from the outbuildings without the state going te further expense in this direction, anil no doubt the trustees arc perfectly willing te erect such an addition as has been sug gested as seen as the Legislature in its wisdsm provides them with the funds re quired ler the outlay. Carryiu- lite War into A'ew Yerk. Mr. Conkling's friends have had a ser ious "setback" in a Icadin editorial in the Chicago Tribune which gees te show 1 hat if the senator from New Yerk is re solved upon a rupture with the president, because the latter will net submit te his dictation, the West, at all hazards, will stand by the executive. The point of the Tribune's article is embodied iu the fol lowing extract : "If Conkling persists in his effort te de feat the confirmation of Judge Robertsen it will be a notice te the administration that he intends te raid the piesideut whenever aiiy Xew Yerk appointment shall be made without previously securing hia consent and approval. In such an event the president should inaugurate a system of reprisals. He should net permit Conkling te de all the lighting, but should in turn make war upon Conkling. Let the heads of the Cenklingitcs who are in office fall in the basket as rapidly as their terms expire, or at the very moment they take part in the contest. Frem the time when war shall be declared by Conkling, no mere Conkling men should be appoint ed There arc enough geed men among the anti Conkling Republicans te fill all the offices iu Xew erk acceptably. In a war of this kind, Conkling will be easily vanquished before President Gariicld's term of four years shall have expired. Even the great and ostentatious Conkling himself may be retired from public life by an aggrcssive policy of IhN kind. The imposition of his personality at every step has become ellcusivc te the people, and the president may safely count upon pop ular support if he shall refuse te tolerate any future interference from the New Yerk 'Bess' and lightcnusly punish the interference of the past." Copies of the Chicago paper containing this article have beeu widely circulated and there is one en the desk of every mem ber of the Senate, including the senator from New Yerk. Mr. Cenk ling will see that the West is ceing te take a hand iu his little fiht, and that, if war is te come, it will be war te the knife, with "blows te give as well as blows te take." A 'ew Bnsmess. A new and novel' 'enterprise'' has sprung up in Morrisville, New Jersey. Mr. Michael Kelly and his wife were sued by Mr. and Mrs. Jehn Ce'ighlan te recover the sum of $15, which, it was alleged, was leaned. Kelly offered as a set-off a bill for merchandise and also "seven days" work in New Yord hunting up a wife for Coughlan. The investigation disclosed the fact that Kelly furnished several "wives" for Coughlan. which the latter de clared "did net suit him," until finally he procured the present Mrs. Ceuirhlan, who. although suffering from a trifling defect of lameness, was duly accepted, lie con tended, however, that Kelly's charge was excessive, and that, in fact, he should net charge anything, "as it was no work at all together." After some sharp passages between the respective parties te the suit and a threatened personal assault, the case was given te the jury, aud they found a verdict for Kelly, but limited his claim te the "services" rendered in procuring the woman who finally suited. Native Nevada Camels. We are informed that the Frenchman who owns the herd of camels ranging te the eastward in the valleys bordering the Carsen river will utilize his "ships of the desert" next summer in carrying gee is from the terminus of the Carsen & Colo Cole rado railroad into camps far out in the wilderness. The camels new number about forty, all Lut two or three of which are natives of Nevada. In our deserts these animals find grasses and bitter and prickly shrubs and plants suited te their taste, aud probably the same or varieties of the same plants that grew in ether desert regions of the earth. It is less trouble and costs much less te grew cam els in Nevada than te rear cattle in the Atlantic states. Virginia City Enterprise. Dime IfeTel Heroes. CSuln West te Grew Up With the Coun try and Slaughter Indians. Residing in the western portion of the town of Marlborough, N. Y., are two far mers by the name of J. A. Jansen and W. W. 3Iackcy. During the past winter their sous, Willie Jlackey ana Jennny Jansen. boys of twelve years of age, have spent a large share of their time and money iu reading and purchasing five-cent novels and border tales, Seme time age they de termined te start for " the plains" they had read se much about, and one morning both the boys were missing from home, each having taken a small quantity of extra clothing with them. Before going away, however, they had confided a per tien of their secret te a small boy of the neigbborheo'd from whom a portion of these facts were obtained. They were 'gein te slaughter the bloody Indians," they said, and expected te return in five years with a trunk full of scalps and numerous ether trophies of thrilling victories. It was the day after tbcirsudden depart ure when their parents first ascertained their intentions. A careful search was made in every direction, but as yet no trace of the lads has been discovered, and it is believed they are really en their way West. They took ever $100 with them, 1 w.nch is new missed iy their parents ; also, a full supply of knives and pistols, which they purchased at Newburg a few days previous. Yeung Mackcy is a bright, active lad, full of energy and grit, and he is probably in command of the expedition. The police of various Western cities have Iwcn given notice of the affair and fur nished with full description of the boys. Miss Cary Interviewed. Xew Yerk Times Interviewer. " Is it se that you intend leaving the stage after this season ?" " Yes, I like the stage ; but I would rather leave five years tee seen than one year tee late. I don't want te outlive my fame. I want te be remembered as a geed singer ; whereas, it 1 sing en for a few years longer, I may have te lcave the stage all the same and yet net be regretted. I want people te say, ' I am sorry that Cary is going te leave the stage.' Yeu sec I've been singing ten years en this stage and people may begin te w.int a change. They crew tired of even the best of things if you give them tee much of them. New then I will have te lcave you and show myself. I hate te make my first appcar appcar aneo of the evening. It is like getting into a cold bath. I don't suppose I will ever get ever stage fright. I don't like te appear in tiglits, either ; 1 suppose it is because I am an American girl. I never put en tights without thinking of a story told abeuUme by a wicked newspaper man some years age. It said that a party of ladies were praising me up in a parlor one morning and saying hew modest and nice I was in dress and action, se unlike the txeneral run of these opera singers, said one of the ladies, and, turning te a gen tleman, she said: 'By the way, Air. Jenes, you were at the opera last night. Hew was Miss Cary dressed ?' 'In tights!' was the answer, and the conversation changed." Notwithstanding her statements, I de net leek for her retirement within the next ten years, and her voice is certainly geed for the next twenty. A Curious Auemaly in Postal Affairs. Negotiations are pending between the postnffice department and the postal au therities of Canada te prevent the posting in Canada of United States publications, which are taken te that country and mailed there te subscribers in the United States for the evident purpose of evading the rates charged en such matter under United States postal laws. The evasion is occassienally practiced by publishers in this country iu order te gain the advan t age of the cheaper rates of postage charged in Canada aud the result iu such instances is that the United States, under existing postal arrangements with Canada is deprived of its legitimate postage en such publications. It has also been pro posed te the Canadian authorities te pi e hibit the circulation in the mails between the two countries of letters and circulars concerning lotteries, se-called gilt cencjits or similar enterprises devised and intended te defraud the public. Correspondence of this character is, by express prevision of law, unmauaule in the United btates, but is net se in Canada, and parties engaged in such schemes go te Canada and there issue and mail large numbess of these cir culars te parties in the United States . I)eatii-Bed and Gallows Repentances. Iteeelier's Sunday Sermon. Nothing, te my mind, is mere indecent than the way in which great criminals are converted and carried out of life. A mur derer is in prison awaiting the expiation ei his crime en the gallows, and the most sa lacious aud abominable sympathy is shown te him. Women send flowers te his cell. Seme of them would even kiss an ulcer for him. Priests and philantluepists run te see him. Tracts. books and delicacies are crowded upon him, aud all, forsooth, because he is going te die. Are net peer men dying all around, aud no sympathy poured out for them ? But here is a monster, and for him the flood-gates are opened. The news papers say he died trusting in Jesus. Faugh ! What a world of mischief that thief en the cress did ! Can the current of a man's life be changed in a moment ? Can one become learned in the love of heaven in a minute ? Can reeking pas siens learn from vestal purity ? Can a beer from the country learn in a night hew te conduct himself at a party in a mansion ? And yet a man who has crept te the gallows through the common sewer blossoms out at the last minute, when all hope of pardon is gene, into a saint. I don't be! i jve it. Becoming Alarmed. The New Yerk Evening Pett, a staunch Republican paper, declares that " under the guidance of Senater Conkling the Re publican members of the Senate are daily impairing their standard before the coun try by keeping step with the rradjustcr Mahone, of Virginia." Continuing, the Pest says : " It is full time, se far as the Republican party is concerned, for some Republican senator te free his mouth from the party gag and let the country again hear in the Senate chamber these senti ments of common honesty in respect te pub lie obligations which for se many years have been the common language of the Repub lican party. What Slahene intends te de, or can de, in respect te securing a fair vote or an honest count in his state or in the Seuth generally is a matter of specula tion ; what he has done in respect te pay ing public debts is an accomplished fact. Neither geed intentions nor incidental geed results growing out of violation of the public faith afford a solid basis for pe litical action. Since tbe war the life-bleed of the Republican party has been the fact that it has steed by the public credit and the belief that it would continue te stand by the public credit at all times and in all places. What life bleed of this sort can the Republican party draw from the mer. ally attenuated ve" of t readjustee Ma-aeue? i Tax ra Church Property. Pcranten Republican. The question of the right te tax the property of churches, such as convent and school buildings, has been undecided since the adoption of the new constitution. One year or mere age the county of Luzcrne levied a tax en certain property belong ing te the Catholic church at Ilazleten, and usetl for school and religions par poses. The church authorities through their attorney. Mr. Connelly, procured an injunction and the case was appealed te he supreme court by the county authori ties. Subsequently another similar ques tion was raised in regard te property be longing te the Catholic church in the city of Wilkes Barre, Judge Harding appear ing for the church in an' application for an injunction before Judge Woodward. The . injunction against Millcr.the collector. was ' granted, and agaiu the county appealed. The case was recently argued before the supreme court and en Monday a decision was rendered reversing the decision of the court below, and deciding that the prop erty was liable te taxation. The decision is of great importance as fixing the status of church property in regard te taxation. Hair I'erK and Sausage Milcidc. Ledger. It seems te be a vain ctleit 0:1 the Dart of newspapers te educate heedless peo ple up te the knowledge that ir is the eat ing of "raw" perk that kilN the cater with trichiii'.sis. U ware of ' raw " perk and uncooked sausage, no matter what this purports te be. But wc suppose the utter stupidity of committing suicide by eating raw meat will go en step by step with the crazy conduct of feeding the kitchen fire from coal oil cans, and pointing guns and pistols because thu lunatics who point them "don't knew they are leaded." The newsp.ipcrs have been sounding the notes of warning en all these modes' of snicide and homicide for years; and, although some arc taught ro.iseti, a great mauy feels continue te lese their lives every year, and there are mere of the same sort left Americau Shad for (Jrcat Brituia. At the meetintr of the Fishculture asso ciation, in New Yerk, Wednesday, Mr. Page, thu vice president:, stated that he had recently had a conference with Prof. Huxley upon the question of the introduc tion of American sh;id into the English, Irish and Scotch livers, and premised him that hall a dozen specimens packed in ice would be scut te England in time for the fish exhibition at Norwich, Eiglaud, in E.istcr week.
