THE INSANE. ---- The Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane. !Prom the N. Y. Tribune.l PniLeolo.rnie, Dec. 19.—During the past year, several accounts have been published regarding insane asylum, which conveyed the idea that a man Who is in his right mind, or who'it'"only eccentric, may be committed to a luzitiliC tuiyhina` and confined for an in definite period,and for the alleged reason that bin relatives may get possession of his pro perty. Retently,"south' cases before the Philadelphia courts have called public atten tion to the treatment of patients in the Penn sylvania Hospital for the Insane, 'and I came hither and made a thorough inspection of this institution. This hospital was founded in 1751, and among the originators was Benjamin Frank lin. When the city had grown so much as to surround - the hospital property, a large portion of the real estate was sold, and more than one hundred acres of land,, lying two miles west of the city, was bought, and about twenty-eight years ago a large building was erected, to which the patients were removed. The original building was left for the use of the city as a hospital, in Wliich the sick and those injured by accidents were received, making it correspond in almost every respect wtth the New York Hospital; on Broadway. This hospital has been in high. repute, and its influence upon the Medical knoWledge of the country has been Marked. The Hospital for the Insane has also ' had a high reputation, for it ' , Was thelliethistitution of the kind es tablished in this country, and it was among the first tO 'lead the'way in new methods for treating the, insane, which not only here but in inany'other institutions have been so su perior to, any known before, that now the whole permanently cured averages about eighty cases in a hundred. This hospital is not a State institution, for it oweg,its existence to the humanity and mu nificence of the citizens of Philadelphia. The control is in a board of managers, elected by the Contributors, and this board appoints a visiting committee, with the duty to inspect the hospital once every week, which duty has not neen neglected in a single instance. So well satisfied have been the people of the city and' the Legislature of the State with the 'management hitherto, that the regu lations adopted in 1751 are unchanged, and their legality has become established by vir tue of the common law; nor does the city make assessments of any kind. Large sums haveheen given and bequeathed by wealthy citizens, and so great has been the general confidence, that one gentleman, who had never been within the walls, willed a very large sum for the improvement of the condi tion' of the insane. For 28 years Dr. Kirk bride has filled the responsible position of physician and of general manager to the in stitution, and he still retains the confidence of the Citizens and of the board of managers. In 1850 the people of Philadelphia coatri- WWI limas for a now building to be occupied each:011pol)" . by men. It has a main front of 512 feet; wadi two wings, each of 167 feet, all three stories high,while other extensive build ings are Rither attached or adjacent There arealso,engine houses, shops and other atruc tures.Nor is the building for women less com plete or extensive. Each is surrounded by a massive stone wall, including a space in the forther of 00 acres, and in the latter of 41', acres, containing walks from one mile to two miles long, brick pavements 6,000 feet long, also groves, flower-beds. and vegetable gardens, thus making the most complete and costly establishment in our country. Still, there have been charges of cruelty, and of general disregard of the objects for which the institution was founded. I arrived at the hospital in the afternoon, entered a gate kept by a porter, !hen, passing a short — distance in an avenue bordered by evergreens, came to the main door, which opened into a long carpeted hall, and passing to the further end I reached the office, where I stated my business. -At once, every oppor tunity for a thorough inspection was offered. One entering te lunatic asylum for the first time will expect to see sad and horrible sights, and not unlikely will fear to be sud denly assaulted by some raving maniac. For our knowledge of insane people is derived either from English literature or from pic tures of the iemates of Bedlam, with sunken cheeks and ghastly eyes, while they exhibit their chants and declare themselves mad; or, from those sad sights in some far-off country side, and in the days before asylums had been erected and endowed, where the insane - were - confined in the county jail or poor house, or were provided for by their friends at home. Many will remember having seen in those days, in some rural region, a small hoVel near, the farmhouse for tee confinement of an insane member of the household a son, a daughter, a father, or a wife and mother. This hovel was about eight feet square, oftenest built of logs that it might be strong, without a win dow, perhaps without a door; having an entrance through the roof, and there could be no fire. Food was introduced as if to as animal, and if one looked in the captive would be seen crouching upon a bed of straw, or huddled in a corner glaring with rage, or shrinking in fear, while the garments hung in rags, if any rags remained. I knew a father and four grown sons, tall and strong; another son, the first born, was confined in a log house in a meadow by a brook. It was a rule, once in two weeks, and on Sunday morn ing, for the five to go thither arid unbar the strong door, when, armed with clubs they would-ell rush in, grapple with the maniac, and tie him with a rope. Then they would wash hint', put on clean garments, clean out the hovel, and leave him lor two weeks more. Thus the pour wretch lived, never improving, always fierce, or said so tO, be, and it was thought an act of great braYery in the father and sons to persevere in itheir care. In a very small room belonging ,o a county poor house, I once saw a woman, still young, who s t on the floor with her face her knees; her hair was spread • , out and matted, and as dirty as mate fur two years she had not spoken, nd when she was cared fur she re sumed h r accustomed posture. Once, ad mired an loved, she had moved in the best society. This was not mere than three miles from one f the most beautiful cities in the West. cross the road from a farmhouse, and in a(1 ne field, stood a log hut, with an a opening`between the logs large enough to ad mit food I and water; a crazy mother was a prisoner: Worn out with daily labor, and watching and nursing a sick babe which finally died, she had not strength to with stand her grief; reason departed; her husband could not care for her, nor could she be treated with her children ; and I have seen those children on cold mornings hurry across the road with victuals, which they thrust in, a piece at a time, beneath a shelf of frost and enow.,Tbete she lived from year to year, and grew.,,grey, the light of day or home never stoning, while the farm house abounded with. comforts, and where at last, another caree,to Da the Plate Eke had left vacant, and another race of childre n fed her. f rakingthe keys, the chief physician of the rentisyla‘atliausylum led th e way. At the 116,a1 polio. Staircase is a large picnne of €ol 3 9 l ,o l ilig Pie sick , which - was painted forttaktpatitution by Benjamin West. It is a Wanted piece,and worth a study of hours.

A woman` who tad been recently adrnitted sat near the room assigned to her.,Ahe believed that 'great calamities - were invading; and tliatniurder-' ers, thieves. and . Tobbers Were on.' 'every band. As we passed along we saw several rooms, each containing two beds, one, of which was for an attendant, and we saw a few rooms sumptuously fur nished, also containing two beds, which were for rich patients who could afford ex clusive accommodations and a constant at tendant. Then we saw a middle-aged woman in a rocking chair shaking with laughter,and having her attention' fixed upon a shawl which she held in her arms folded so as to relienable a baby, and' it seethed to be her darling and her joy. Another woman aged as,much as 50, who became blind when 16 years old, but who married and was the mother of seven children, was active, seemed to have worked bard in some'occupation,and requested that word be sent to such a street and number—sent as quick as possible, that her friend might come, that we should not fail; all of which was repeated over and over. Another inquired : " Will father come to day?" Answer, in a pleasant, low voice, "I think he will." "But are you certain? Is it not too late, or too cold, or too far?" "He certainly will come, if not to-day to morrow, or certainly this week." "And when he comes, will you let him see me immediately? Do you think he will come to-day?" Another lay on her neat, white bed, almost dying. She had attempted to starve fierself; then, repenting,was anxious to'live, but it was doubtful whether it was not too late. All the doors, as we passed. were open but we came to one which was closed. To a gentle knock it gently opened, and a young lady stood wringing her hands and crying piteously. "Well, how are you toLday? You have been sick." Answer: "Yes, I have been very" bad, but I feel better now, and I hope I shall be much improved to-morrow." She was, soothed by the kind est words and the gentlest hands. Her case was this: Six years ago she was cured and restored to her friends, living in a far coun try, but she had come again. Now, this asylum is divided into 16 wards, entirely separated from each other, the in mates of which form families numbering about 15, for `whom a table is set and food especially prepared. The cooking is done in one establishment, as is also the. washing and ironing, and that which is required for a par ticular ward is transported by a railway in the basement and received in the proper place upon an elevator. The wards are separated by halls and locked doors, and to most of the wards belong spacious yards planted with trees and flowers, and surrounded by walls. Id each of- these 16 wards, all of which are occupied by females,is a piano, also a library, while there are interesting specimens in glass cases, and everywhere are engravings which represent domestic and cheerful scenes. In short, everything is calculated to produce neatness, order and, agreeable impressions. The patients in one ward have lie connection with those of another, and generally each is as isolated as if it were the only one in the building. The object is to place those of like condition together. To associate the timorous and weak with the boisterous and strong would make both worse, for one would shrink with tear, and the other would become audacious. This arrangement corresponds to classification in the sciences;-11m•advantages are as great in one case as in another, and without it little or no progress could be made. Another ad vantage arises from the assistance derived from such patients as are in process of re covery, for it is found that they at once use their newly recovered faculties in helping their companions, since they sympathize with them and know their wants even better than their attendants: and yet, those very ones may be far from being restored,and they still need assistance from the physician or those still more advanced. After they have reached a certain stage in their recovery, they are removed to a ward whore tho condition of the patients corresponds to their own. There is much in this similar to the Lancas trian system of education. There are seve ral aged women in thisinstitution, and some boa e grown old in it, haviug been here from SO to 5o years. It is not improbable that if such had at first been treated by the present methods they would have, been restored, for nothing is better ascertained than that the earlier proper treatment can commence the more certainty is there of a speedy and permanent cure—that ic..unless the casXis at tended with organic dkeli3e. In ore ward was a most cheerful sight. A b.tly, perhaps years old, sharp-featured, active and dressed in blue and bi Lek delaine, whs playing the Dev,l'. Dream on the piano, while two ladies, not far from 80 years old, danced a reel, and they were as loving and gay as any young couple dancing in a cfmn try tavern. One, seeming to have an im portant communication, came to the Doctor and told him that when she wanted to leave she would let him know. One was the wife of an eminent man; one the sister of another, the names of which wore whispered. As we passed along, one, well dressed and seeming every way proper, gave to some of us a wink. In the various wards all grades are included, and they range from the elegantly dressed lady who goes with an attendant in a car riage to the city, to make purchases—being almost restored, or the great calamity is im pending—down to those who sit silent, and seem neither to see nor hear—with wasted hair, and paralytic twitches, and in whom reason seems like a flame that flickers in the act of expiring. The view is a series of steps leading from brilliancy down to imbecility. In one is beheld some deficiency; in the next another deficiency is superaddetl; in the next still another, until, at last, all that makes woman attractive and loved is gone, or, what is worse, so little is left that the condition is as it the sun were blotted from the heavens, and chaos had come again. The last state is called dementia, and it differs from idiocy only in having a beginning. Still, of the ma jority, there are alwaykhopes; they are more or less active: they receive impressions, their conduct is mainly exemplary,they understand some things clearly, and more than three fourths are restored to their right mind. Every means for affording rationed amuse ment is supplied; there is a gymnasium, also a lenture-room, where lectures by eminent men are delivered, mainly on some popular branch of the Natural Sciences, and exhibi tions are held with the magic -lantern and various optical and chemical instruments; several carriages are kept for the patients' in short, whatever art, science, industry, or experience, can contribute towed bringing the mind to its former condition is liberally and industriously applied. I was shown every room; even the closet doors were thrown open; and, besides, I followed along the labyrinths of the vast basement up to the attic and dome. Those persons who go by the general name of maniacs are said here to De in a high state of excitement, and when they become wholly unmanageable they are placed in rooms containing only n mattress laid on the floor. These rooms correspond to the grated dungeons of Bedlam, whore chains are fixed to the walls. There is a narrow window so high that it cannot be reached, and there is a transom window over the door. If they con tained a bed and a little furniture, they would be similar to many of the rooms in a good New York hotel. Patients of this elites will readily commit-sulcide if they can, and often they are ingenious in seeking the means. The u sual preventive' is a garment which has ,til6ves joined together at the wrist; entirely closingboth hands. As the patientrecovers, a bedeteattie brought in,or there is a removiii. i to a furnished room, and finally to the, vet- . i sty of (MeV the wards. This ektrenie coa-1 1 dition !Its of short duration, , pften it is: in tennittent, and as none among metre than 200: were SO (foamed on the day ink visit, or , seemed in any respect requiring' hri- provement in the treatment otJhe insane over former methods must be Manifest. As to , chains, dungeons, cm ~any means for punishment,. I Saw nothing of the kind. When a patient becomes highly comeexcited,-, two attendants of the ward come on - each aide, and each taking an arm a transfer to a, room' is dexterously, gently, • and quickly made. One of the rules is, that an attendant must. speak only in a low unimpassioned voice; often it is four , unnecessary to speak at all, even where the manifiastationato the common eye would appear of the most'alarm ing character. ' Daring the night, watehmen pass through the halls at stated periods, while their passage ` is Marked upon a cardAvithin the case of an ingeniously constructed clock. The clothes of each Patient upon retiring are placed outside in the In the evening I attended a tea-party—for one was given to the patients every week— that is, to a portion at'a time, and they look forward to' the occasion with great interest. All the officers, with their ladies, were pretient, and, notwithstanding tble was a class much lower than others,with regard to the progress of their cure, I had never mingled in a com pany which showed more propriety; indeed, I have sat at festive tables where the company might, be taught something by the behavior of these unfortunates. After the dishes were 'removed several games were introduced, in which most of the patients took some inter est, and conversation was intermingled. Still, there were those whom nothing could arouse, and they sat listless and downcast. On this occasion was present a lad.# with a history of the most interesting and affecting nature, but it cannot be told until; in all probability, the hand which holds this pen shall be moldering in the dusr. May the choicest blessings attend her through every period of her existence. On the next evening was a lecture; on the next, some other entertainment; and thus this part of the work goes on through the year. The hospital' building for men is nearly half a mile distant. Between are the two walls of the respective institutions; and also a low valley, not enclosed, thus making, as it were, a gulf which cannot be passed! Upon a little reflection, the necessity for separating the sexes will be obvious, but it would be a sufficient reason in the fact that many ladies would not enter if theK would be likely to meet men who in after rifelcould lay claim to an acquaintance formed in such a place. The general plan, the interior arrangements and provision for comfort, instruction, amuse ment and cure are the same as in the depart ment for females. The number of males is, from year to year, about the same as of fe males, which shows, notwithstanding com plainings in certain quarters in regard to wo men, that both are happy and unfortunate in ant qual degree. Surely, it' anywhere, some of the scenes of Bedlam would be presented among the men- Thelloor was opened. It was neither an iron nor a massive door, nor did it differ from the parlor door in one's own dwelling. Here was the same well lighted• and cheerful hall, with pictures on the walls, with libra ries, cases of insects, and viarions curiosities, but the inmates were less retiring; indeed,our entrance awakened activity and curiosity; all eyes turned toward us, and there was a gene ral movement on the part of each to secure a position favorable for seeing or hearing. A large business-like man bustled up to us with confidence, holding in his hand a petition ad dressed to the President of the United States, praying for an appointment to the office of Secretary of State, or of War, or of the Treas ury. or of the Navy, or Pension Bureau, or as Embassador to.,Eogland, France, or Russia; or, in case none of these places should be va cant, the Superintendency of the United States Mint would be accepted. We did not hesitate to sign his petition, because we could not conceive that the public service would receive a new injury even should he be ap pointed. The next great man was a poet, who had 320 poems, which he wished to sell, one of which contained 4,000 lines, and all were superior to any poetry published or un published. it this was the only evidence of xis insanity, the reason for his detention did not seem apparent,because such men are far from being uncommon. Next we were introduced to a gentleman standing in his door way, and he politely invited us to enter. Oa a table was a _large collection of standard books, Sb :speare having a prominent place, and be nd us that he was devotingevery moment of his time in making himself familiar with the English elat.sics,and in particular with Shake speare. "These investigations," said he, ••de velop the interior faculties far. more than any secondary basis, whether attached to a hiztiet or a lower plane, and the laying down of a formula deduced therefrom is excelled only by the dilutions and analysis of abstract Ideas w hen compared with the concrete of a higner life." Next was a small, well-dressed youn4 man, who had something of an English air in his manner, and when I asked him how he got along, and how he liked it,he said: " foe institution is fair, you know, and the grub i 4 good. but the trouble is, you know, there 1- nobody here, that is to say, out of the whole, there is nobody fit for society, you know, un less there inlay be three, in fact no more that' two, if so many, and all the rest are simply Lolaites." Going into another ward, the first pantie introduced was the President of the United States. He looked as though he lived' well, and he offered me several offices, and iu par ticular to be Minister to Holland, but, as Vie salary was only $l,OOO a year, it was de dined. Then he wanted otherno take and after considerable begging they were all filled. It seemed to me that if that other gentleman who wanted office so badly could have had an interview with this President, a great deal of trouble would be saved; in fact, there is abundant material there for or ganizing a complete government, and teey might jeeps money and then steal it,aud t ius lead earnest and actual lives. The President, being a musician, went to the piano, and played a song on the bad effects arising from cutting one's toe nails ou Sunday morning. During the performance a poor ereature came in, with vacant eyes, when the attendants tried to make him turn around, but he was as rigid as so much India rubber; finally they forced him into a corner, whil not a word was spoken. Thence we went to a large room, where several old men sat around the wall, as if at meeting, while the winter sun shone upon them brightly, and they were as stupid as if drugged with opium. They bad reached the lowest stage. For a reason that need not be stated we hastened away. In the hall was one who, long ago, was au officer in the regular army, and it was said that Wile had not resigned he would have out-ranked General Scott. He wanted only one thing, and that was a chew of tobacco. Another wanted a cent, which was given him, and it was stated that he had laid up quite a fund, but sometimes ho invests some thing in candy. Another had been a lawyer; he • understood his condition, and he stated it. He had worked his brain when it was already overworked,and still he had worked it,taking taking neither sleep nor relatatlon, and now all was gone. In saying this he shed tears. As we approached the end of the hall two remarkably intellectual-looking young men, with dark shadows around their eyes,stepped towards us quickly and lightly, and tney seemed as ready to make a spring as if they were tigers. And yet, neither these nor any others are feared by the attendants,. Genet elly,'an insane man is a coward, and he'4o shrink before the steady gaze: f a ditternifhed ,man e inShis ,right mind, OnO e hndf a littld wheel onla email I ‘st`Wbatlithisifiko "Toil' turn around."„ "But)-what '. la; the object?' 4 1`o turnaround >' i"Xes, yea; whit, kind oft snachinerse i , is 3t? prat( ixratita.P , ; i. `Then we we taken litto`what ha to been , vaned the 4tingeona. They were simply bare rooms with two windows, and as described in, the_, department for, females. The walls were defaced, and one room was in process of repair, having been Bet on fire by a patient, whose friends unaccountably' had given him matches. We were shown what is called a "saddle," which is used to prevent a patient from doing himself bodily injury: ' It is Com posed of straps and webbing, about 'two inches wide; fastened to the bedstead, it con fines the limbs and the, body, and is so ar ranged that the patient can move his limbs or lie in any position, but he can neither arise nor throw off the bed-clothes: It is ingenious; and it was declared to have saved many lives, pasticullarly for the reason that when -the pa tient finds he cannot get away, his muscles finallyrelax and he , sleeps. None of the stu pefying gases are used, because they produce no mental change. Having gone through the whole building, and seen every apartment, regardless of the use for which it was applied, and making in the whole eitent a walker a mile and a quer ter,,l was told by the superintendent that I had seen every apparatus by which violent or any class of patients are restrained. These dungeons and chains belong to the treatment of the past, not to the present. Briefly, the means used for restoring the lost senses are innocent amusements, exercise in almost every form, lectures, books, carriage rides, mechanical pursuits, walking, and garden - work, all of which, as I saw, are ample in provision; and the printed directions demand that the application be regular and unremite ting. Gentle treatment is enjoined, and the Scripture texts over the doors, directing the practice of all the virtues and charities, form the spirit of the rules by whichi, the attendants are to be guided. The general impressions which a visitor receives are of lightness, comfort, neatness and elegance. The number of choice and elegant engravings cannot fail to strike the-eye. The selection of pictures for a particular ward seem intended to help recall such memories at are supposed to be within reach. For the men's department they are striking, always cheerful, sometimes bold, and the female figure is not wanting. In one ward, perhaps where despondency pre vails, is a picture of one asleep in a ham mock . which is swinging from boughs, and the vines and wild flowers, and the drapery of the sleeper, denote that it is a tropical scene. The cooking, washing and other industries are complete and on a large scale. The heating of the apartments by steam and hot air requires extensive works, and having been first devised here,they were next adopted in the Capitol at Washington, and afterwards in all parts of the country. Ventilation demands the use of the steam-engine every day in the year, and the necessity in a build ing like this, occupied by human beings as a residence, is absolute. Even when a small number permanently live in one building, unless, there is a perfect ventilation, a sicken ing taint will attach to the walls and furni ture which is almost insupporteble, and there are some.instittitione, not excepting Colleges and churehea, where this odor can be detected, making the building unfit even for temporary occupancy. Lunatic asylums find nothing more difficult than the securing of ventila tion, and some which I have visited fail to attain it. In the Pennsylvania Asylum it is is nearly perfect; but where there is a local requirement, a portable apparatus something like a fanning mill is operated at :a window. This great difficulty always must oppose a 1 reorganization of society in combined house -1 holds, and it would seem that a family placed in one dwelling is in a condition for securing health which cannot well be improved. It was natural that I should ask Dr. Kirk bride wha are the causes of insanity. He named first dyspepsia, which undermines the health. Next is a want of sleep. Still, this may also arise from disease. Nothing is more important than sound sleep; it has remedial powers; and it has most value if taken in the earlier part of the night. To lie in bed and think is in the highest degree in jurious, and all thinking should be done be fore retiring. One of the best means for se curing sleep is exercise taken in the open air and in the sunshine; opiates ought never to he a means, except by the direction of a physi cian. Good, nutritious food is far more use ful than stimula6rs: Men deficient in physi cal powers will be able to perform a vast amout of work of any kind if the wasted powers can be restored regularly by sound sleep. The next cause is want of employment_ Man was made for activity, and for the exercise of all his powers; by the disuse of any, a decay is but natural. Intemperance is another fruitful cause. But cases are mentioned-where, on the approach of insanity, a taste for strong drink became irresistible; and on being grad fiedi the work was finished; when toe malady yielded to treatment.and cure was completed, the desire for strong drink no longer existing. In questions as to whether insanity ex i its, the following query, by a Philadelphia judge, forms a good definition: "Has a man the poWer to distinguish right from wrong, and has be the power to adhere to the right and avoid the wrong?" Hereditary nsanity in one country is much less frequent than is supposed. The general forms of insanity are mania and dementia, with the subdivisions' of moral in sanity, monomania, hyvichondriasis,auicidal monomania, homicidal monomania, insane impulse, &c. In what manner the mind Uses its balance and acts in a new plane is, at present, unknown. Generally, and per haps always, insanity commences with ab sence of sleep, which is Sillowecl by fever, and it is highly probable that fever is always connected with madness.. One of the most notable symptoms of incipient iusahity is a rtgid tendeneyto dwell on a single idea, and frequently, in conversation, to repeat words over and over, but the repetition is more closely confined to the mind itself. Often an insignificant idea will take sole possession of the mind, and be repeated or reproduced with the regularity of a conspicuous mark on a swiftly revolving wheel. One - part of the mind seems dis cennected with the other parts, and it may be compared to an engine with one portion at- rest while another portion runs with great velocity. Sometimes, in what is called'health,,objects come before the eyes, or common words are spoken in connection with passing events, which seems only a re collection—that is, they are remembered as having been presented to the mind in some past period, in exactly the same relation they are presented in the present. Much more re mains for scientific men to discover in the fu ture than has yet been revealed; and if the various, problems concerning insanity are ever to be solved, they will be so by patient investigations through many periods, and with the assistance of those once insane. The stinting point undoubtedly is in our Insane Asylums. As yet, they aro new institutions, and little more has been done than to secure organization, and to demonstrate to legislators and thinking men their great usefulness. The public mind at present is interested in consideringthe means by which persons are declared insane. In most cases no question can arise, but at intervals there are cases where doubts do arise. In Pennsylvania, the written certificate of a single physician is sufficient for an arrest and commitment, and in view of this there is a general feeling,which , expression, that the rights! of the per- Ablinkliberty of those alleged ttilie insane re ' Vitt lurther protection; not Weems° there•is any idbubt that Midt.rgrdat mass Of ,'''phyz.`, Adana would injustice, "-A but,:' hecanse there ',", k iire some physicians 'kwhci are unworthy,of performing an r act so ..tuotnentous.

Atumber of unprin cipled men was, ' less than at prey eat, , the requirements for proving insanity were sufficient; or, if they wore not, the superintendents who were devoting their lives to building up of these institutions, and who thereby showed their regard for human suffering, would have refused to receive any that were not proper objects of their care.
