But the sight which froze our blood was that
which we beheld on the edge of the chasm nearest

with blood that had flowed from their wounds

atthe same moment by a terrible howl of savage

men. Tt was one of the rules of the Asylum that pa-
tients should not lie down to rest during the day-time,
Some of the weak, idiotic female famates were con-
stantly. violating this extraordinary order, and thus
drew down punishment upon themselves, But many
of the cases had not even this excuse, 1¢ punish
ment was generally arbitrary, in accordance with the
brutal whims of the attendants,

It is fair to mention that the laws of Illinois are
most enlightened and humane, and that the State is
not liable to injurious reflections on account of these
exposures. The blame is to be divided between the
Superintendent, Dr. McFarland, and the trustees,
whose laxity permitted these abuses to continue unre-
dressed fur so long atime. Then again, there is an in-
evitable tendency in human nature to abuse its power,
and trample upon the defenceless, Of. course, means
are in progress to remedy these abuses, but the exposures
that have been made prove that the laws for the pro-
tection of the insdne require constant watebfulness and
supervision by the humane,

A Havuytepo Jaw iw Cuicaco.—The Chicago
Times says that mysterious uoises have been recently
heard in the jail of that city by the officials and pri-
soners, and some of the latter profess to have seen
appalling sights, ‘The noise generally assumes the
character of unearthly wails, such as no ventriloquist
could make, aud appears ta come from the vault of a
water closet. ‘Two of the guards say they heard the
words * O dear!” thrice repeated in tones of fearful
‘agony, apparently issuing from the vault. ‘The
past. The superstition is rife among the prisoners
that the jail is haunted by the spirit of a murderer
named Fleming, who was executed vearly two years
ago. One of them, a coloured map, named William
Jouves, says that he awoke one night ia his cell and
saw the figure of a man hanging with a strap arovud
his neck to the gratiug which opens into the veuti-
lator from the ceiling. He says that the fright over-
came him to such an exteut that he fainted. Within
the past two weeks the deputy sheriff’ who have
beea on watch, have on several nights been called
to the cells of prisoners whom they found in parox-
ysms of fear and horror, asserting that a spirit had
appeared to them,

George Hughes and George Phillips, who have
oeenpied cell No, 28 tor the last four weeks, stated
| that every night siuve their confinement, except two,
|chey have heard the noises spoken of, though they
‘have seen nothing. ‘They describe the poises as
}something awtul. They seemed to be the cries of
some being iv the most dreadful distress. The four
inmates of cell No, 32. simultaveously awoke on
Mouday night, couscious of something terrible, but
what they knew tot, As they sat up in bed, each too
much frightened to utter a word, they felt a cold,
rushing wind sweep through the cell, chilling each
to his very bones, At the same instant the cell door
(the inoer door of wood) shoak and rattled, seeming
to swing violently open aod shut again. Then all
was still, The four men sat bolt upright, listening
tor several moments, But they heard no more.
Every night since they have heard the peculiar
moaning sound which has beea noticed by every in-
mate of the jail.

CRUEL TREATMENT OF THE INSANE.

_ [Brom the New York Com, Advertizer. J

The recent exposure of the secrets of the Illinois
fusane Asylum proves that Mr. Charles Reade's des-
cription of the horrors of madhouses Was in no respect
exaggerated, A special committee of the Illinois Le-
zislatune mtkes some amazing revelations of the harsh
uvatiment of the iemates of the State Insaaé Asylum,
at Jacksonville, The mort horrible condition of affairs
prevailed: in. that inssivution, The really excellent
laws formed for its management and the protection of
ithe helpless inmates were openly violated, Persons
were reevived for treatment without the forpality of a
jury, according to the State laws, and others were kept
‘here cOntrary 16 law and necessity, The inmates,
averaging some 330 in nuntber, half males and half fe-
aves. were subject to the alwost irrespunsible care of
some thirty male and female attendants. How these at-
rendants abused their trust and inflicted the. most bor-
rible eraeltios upon the helpless patients ander their
control, is revealed tn the report of the investigation
comimnittee, with a dry offic! precision that excites a
deeper interest than the mere bighly wrooght deserip-
tion of novelists. All fi attendants were not culpa-
ile. Some ot them were humane persons, bat a sutli-
cient Number were guilty of cruclties that are repulsive
to humauny. :

by the Comonttes,, “The tervible punishment of the

An amnsing incident occurred yesterday in the
Dubliu head police office. A boy named Convill,
au apprentice to a chimney-sweeper, was charged
with having attempted to commit « telonious assault
ou bis master’s daughter, The charge was proved,
aud he was seatenced to be imprisoved for fourteen
days aod kept to hard labor, While awaiting the
arrival of the policeman who was to briog him to
gaol, he was placed iu a room at the basement story
of the court, which was used as a lock-up, and there
left in company with other prisoners, it was suppos-
ed in safe custody. Searcely, however, had the key
been turned in the door, when, turniag to account
his protessiona! skil!, he plunged into the chimoey,
ascended the flue with amugzing agility, end getting
across the roof descended avother chimney aud made
good his escape. His fellow prisoners gazed in envious
admiration aud bore without a murmur the murkey
shower which came down upon them durivg his
flight. ‘The expression of disappointment iu the
face of the constable in charge when he found that
bis vigilance had been baffled, would bave formed
au interesting subject for an artist.

One of the West Todia mail packets, which was
lying at St. Thomas at the time of the tornaco, and
received some damage, which was repaired so as to
allow her to proceed on her voyage to Jamaica, has
arrived at this port, The day afier the vessel lett

the vessel on shore, aud were only frustrated by the
third officer, who remarked their strange actions,

jucreased during the voyage and on the arrivel of

remarked that several sailors belonging to vessels
that were at St. Thomas during the late fearful visi-
taticns, have lost their reasop. Several such cases
are reported from Jamaica.
