A Hud Condition-
There is considerable indignation
among friends of the various lunatic
hospitals under State control because
these institutions have not been, as
they think, properly cared ior by
the present Legislature. One of
the trustees of the Danville Luna
tic Hospital, iu conversation with
Gossip said that that institution is
overcrowded to an alarming extent.
Four hundred inmates are now com
pelled to sleep on small cots in the
corridors. This overcrowding has
not been confined to the last few
months or the last two years. Four
years ago attention was called to
the overcrowding-and the Legisla
ture voted an appropriation of
$130,000 for an annex. Before the
annex could be built the State
Board of Charities demanded to see
the plans that it might pass upon
and either approve or disapprove
them. The plans were sent to the
State Board of Charities and, for
some reason that nobody can ex
explain, they were never returned
to the hospital trustees. As a con
sequence the two years during
which the appropriation could be
used passed by and the $130,000
appropriation by a decision of the
Attorney General lapse into the
treasury. This year the Legisla
ture has given the Danville Hospital
nothing. The trustees have tried
to relieve the overcrowded condi
tion by returning to certain coun
ties their indigent insane, but in
some places they met with much
opposition. When they announced
their intention of returning fifty in
sane paupers to Luzerne county,
the Luzerne authorities declared
that they would not receive them,
and would turn them loose in the
street if sent to that county. It
will l>e remembered that some years
ago the State Board of Charities
with a "drag net" went all over the
State and scooped all of the indig
ent insane under county charge,
placing them in State institutions.
Last fall the republican press fore
told that a change of administration
would mean a change of policy on
the tariff and on financial questions-
Such a change it was argued could
not well lead to any desirable result.
The Cleveland regime has been in
operation just three months. No
business man needs to be reminded
that the Republican forecasts have
been all too thoroughly fulfilled.
The Cleveland "object lesson" is
clear and emphatic but hardly satis
factory.
A secrect ceases to be a secret
after it is once told. Tell your
friend a secret in the morning and
if you enjoy the confidence of a
number of people, it is safe to say
that before wight someone of those
friends will confide to you what
you supposed was your own and
3'our friends secret Tour friend
tells a friend and tells him not to
tell, but he cannot keep it and tells
a friend and his friend tells a friend
of yours and in turn tells you.
A schoolmaster in a board school
was endeavoring to make clear to
his young pupils' minds the mean
ing of the word "slowly." He
walked across the room in the man
ner the word indicates. "Now,
children, tell me how I walked."
One little fellow who sat near the
front of the room almost paralyzed
him by blurting out: "Bow-legged."
Usually when we hear of a man
beinjj suspended wo interpret it to
neaa I bet he has been temporarily
fifed. 1* the case of Dr. Briggs,
therefore we hare a man fired
temporarily for suggesting a tempor
ary fire. The majority of the gen
eral assembly at Washington seem
to have concluded that the punish
ment fit the crime.
The managers of the World's Fair
have at last decided that if the at
tendance will not come to the show
without special effort they will at
tempt to induce it to come, and ac
cordingly, the excursion business
ill be begun immediately and every
effort made to draw crowds. This
is a very sensible conclusion.
Fcatherstone—Peter, is your sister
in ? Peter—Tea. She's trying on
a new gown, and I guess you can't
aee her before to-morrow. Feather
stone—Why it ought not to take
her very long to try on a new gown.
Peter—No, but the dressmaker is
trying to oollect the money for it.—

New York, June I.—The Rev.
Charles Augustus Briggs, D. D., re
turned from Washington to-night
and reached his home at 10 o'clock.
When he was seen a few minutes
later Professor Briggs looked unusu
ally well and cheerful, as if he did
not have a care in the world.
"Yes," said the professor, "I have
learned of the sentence against me,
although I left Washington early in
the afternoon, but I deem it best
not to talk of the matter at pres
ent."
"Do you still occupy the Ed
ward Robinson chair of Biblical
theology in the seminary ?"
"Most certainly I do. Is there
anything in the terms of the endow
ment of that chair or in the rules of
the seminary which requires that
this professorship must be held by a
minister of the Presbyterian church?
Not at all."
Has the decision of the general
assembly in suspending you from
the ministry made any change with
your relations with Union semin
ary ?"
"None whatever. The general as
sembly never contributed a dollar
to the Union seminary. The seminary
is supported almost wholly by New
York merchants and others."
It was learned from others con
nected with Union seminary this
evening that Professor Briggs
would go right on just as if nothing
had happened and will be sustained
in his act by the board of directors
and the members of the faculty of
the institution.
A special session of Congress will
be held convening about the 15th of
September. It is to be hoped that
this body will do something to
check the numerous financial failures
reported almost daily.
Jinks—"\V hen burglars were in
your house the other night, did Mrs.
Filkins look under the bed for the
man?" Filkins—"Yes; and found
one, too." Jinks—"One of the
burglars?" Filkins—"No, me 1"
NORDMONT ITEMS.
Oasady Edkin, one of the train
hands and Mrs. E spent Sunday
with friends in this place.
Anna Rhone left last Saturday
for the 'Mere, where she will stay
until the season is over. Willie
G saw her off with tears in his
eyes.
Mr. Knipe the genial and pleasant
conductor on the W. k N. B. R. R.,
was out calling on friends Sunday.
Herman says a country walk is a
good apetizer and for that reason
changed his place of abode.
Peterman Brothers gave a select
hop at their Hotel, on last Saturday
evening. All enjoyed themselves
until a big slugger from near La
porte, came down and welted the
floor with calks in his boots. Then
a little argument rose as to who was
the best man. A lad from this sec
tion, led him out in the j'ard and
used a little moral chastisement on
the wild man ot the woods ; when
things quieted down and the dance
went on and all had a pleasant time.
Last Friday evening M. W. Bots
ford and James Dininger filled their
pockets with fish worms, cut a bircli
rod, took a ball of Milt's roping
twine and a couple of fish hooks and
started out for a few of the scalev
beauties. Along in the glooming
they came back. Did they have
anything, was asked ? Well we
should smile, they had cut a pjle
and either end rested on the shoulder
of each. A two bushel cofFee sack
hung on the pole between them and
it contained fish, too, and as fine a
lot as has been caught this season,
but Milt declares that the finest one
got away. It was three feet, four
inches in length and would tip the
beam at 18 or 20 pounds, and was
22 inches between the eyes.

We have of late years, heard no
much about "evolution" that it is
getting to he a word that leaps
spontaneously into the thoughts of
the people. Why, of course things
are evolved 1 And we are getting in
the habit of treating the matter as
though that was the beginning as
well as the end of it. But there is a
complimentary word, and in fact it
is well to keep in mind. To be
unwound, unfolded, a thing must
first be wound up or unfolded, there
fore, an involutionary process neces
sarily precedes to make evolution
possible. It is not difficult to pro
duce an oak or an apple tree, if we
but have the acorn or the apple seed ;
indeed the thing seems so simple
that we hardly give thought to the
importance of the prior process.
The germ unfolds into a tree, and
the tree convets itself into other
germs, and thus the circle of life
flows on, and we mistake this tend
ency of a thing to repeat itself.
This law of the persistance of species
as being a solution of the whole
subject, whereas it is simply a force
involved or wound up for a specific
purpose, yet, one that can be trans
ferred to other uses and places of
manifestations, for the acorns that
aro fed to swine, d> not become oak
trees.
Again ; for the acorn to unfold
and perpetuate itself on its present
line depends on an interrelatedness ;
it must have the conditions of soil,
mointure and above all, tht quicken
ing of the sun's ray, without this
its evolution is impossible ; there
fore, we see that involution and
evolution stand to each other in the
order of cause and effect "what a
man soweth that he shall reap," and
when we see the children's teeth
"set on edge," we may know that
the parents have been "eating sour
grapes." That which is being
evolved in the life of the people to
day is, in a large measure, the
ideals, of the progeniturs, and so, in
like measure, the thoughts we are
thinking, the ideas we are inspiring,
become the germs of future unfold
ing. We have very much to be
hopeful of in this age, because of
the many good thoughts and grand
ideals, of ancient as well as modern
times, that are coming to their ulti
mation in this generation, for there
are periods of culmination in the
history of the race when, as it were,
a few days of spring sunshine
changes the whole face of nature.
The lower limbs are clothed with
verdure and bloom, while the entire
atmosphere is rich with fragrance
and life. But ere the germ of the
leaf could unfold, or the flower dis
pense its fragrance, it had to drink
in the warmth and sunshine. It
was the involved sunbeam thai
made the evolution of the leaf and
flower a certainty. Therefore, when
we talk about evolution, let us not
overlookits complimentary principle,
involution, which is an ever-flowing
force of Divine presence.
