CRIMIIItrAD INSANE.
• Last minter a proposition was before
the Legislatise of iLls Commonwealth
for the erection of an additional Hospi
tal for the Custody and Treatment of the
Insane. It failed, but will probably be
renewed this year. When it was under
consideration the suggestion was offered
that, the sew helm should be devoted
mainly if not exclusively to the chronic
insane. The argument was that the re
moval of the elute of incurable patients
from the preaanthouses would afford am
ple room for the accommodation of fresh
cams, and would afford larger facilities
for treatment and care. It was easy to
see how removing a large number of in
mates would make room for others, but
it was not apparent, in view •of the
I pretty rigid densification of patients in
the different wird', uniformly pursued,
how recent CAECA would be benefited by
the separation.
The National Assochition of Superin
tendents of Hospitals folthe Insane, at
the meeting heldin Washington in 1866,
had this topic under consideration, and
while a few of the members expressed
therimeives in favor of the separation,
by is very decided vote, it was resolved—
" That insane persons considered
curable, and those supposed incurable,
should not be provided for in separate
establishments."
Becent cases of insanity are always by
far the most expenelito to take care of.
- The additional attention required,' be
came of greater inclination to Injure or
T 2 tartly clothing, (unitise; de., and the
means necessarily employed to prevent
this inclination, are the tames of much
of the increased outlay. If no chronic
patients are in a hospital, by whom the
ndschievions tendencies of recent pa
denten:ls watched, double the number
of attendants would have to be employed
or the troublesome Ones would have. to
be locked in their rooms the greater
part of the time.
We made recently an incidental alma
don to Dr. Howe's proposition to adopt
Idasamhusetts vihatts knoecu es llifi '
Gheel System, under which ineine
tient' are scattered in villages and treat
ed by peasants. All the witnesses do
not coincide with the Doctor either in
describing the treatment or in estimat
lag the effimecy of it. Some of these re-
I port that the "unrestricted freedom" al
lowed, is enjoyed with chains -dangling
from the wades Often they are confined
In uncomfortable quarters. in_ the rem;
ants' dwellings. Unless all experience
'elsewhere in the treatment of the Insane;
I I has only _resulted in rehmnderstandingt
the nature of the disease, and cone-1
quertly the meats for assuaging it, all
I this would be expected. •
Besides, if we are correclly informe.l:l;•,
the authorities have mien op the disi
elective principle of their treatment, by
the erection, within the last few years;
of what is called an Infirmary, to which
all patients are taken and retained for a
period, and in which all who prom e 4
cited or troublesome are permanently
confined. If this is not withal:4=ll4*
of the whole principle of "unrestricted
'freedom" we can hardly imagine wh4
would be. " _
Under such circumstances it is most
improbable thjt any departure will be
made in Pennsylvania from, the system
now in operation; but that an additicmil
Hospital, whenever it shall be erect4l,
will be conducted substantially as the*,
now In existence are. That 'another in
atltation is required is well known :to'
all persons who hive taken pains to ac
quaint themselves with the facie of the
.
At the list session of the Legtalatsl i a r
very few of the members endorsed th
ignorance or heartlessness by deridipg
all public provision for the insane.

In no event will any order teemed by Mr.

Some &tat ti
.years ago the production
of.the melodnitna of the Noralcan Broth
ers' re-awakened the - publlii interest in
the ghosts of the theatre; and the . spectre
that rose from the stage as from a cellai,
and crowing It gained his full statute
gradually ea tie went along,was forloiae,
time a. great popular favorite, though
burlesque dogged his course:, and a cer- I
tato ridicule always attended -his eau
lions, The tidgetty musical accompani
mentkatown as "the Ghost Melody" ac
quired great popularity, and moreover
the Intricate stage machinery involved
In the production of the shade of Louis
del Frenchl gave. additional Luterest 'to
his appearance. •
()Lister years the • modern drains has
scarcely any addition to oar stock of
stage ghosts. • The irgenious Inventidn
known as the Spectral Illusion of Mtwara
Dinka and Pepper obtained greatikvar
at one time; and; awakened some interest
upon the subject of theatrical phantoms..
But it soon became dear that the public
cared for the illration and not for the
spectre. They were eoncenied about the
mechanism of the contrivance, not awed
by the supernatural appearances it
brought before-them. ' When once 'you
begin to inquire by wkat process a ghost
is produced, It bicker - you are not moved,
by its character as a spectre merely.
Puppets lose their power to' pleats° the
wino by which they are made to move.
