We clip this paragraph from an essay op ‘‘Asylam management,” by Joseph Work

un, M , former M 1 Superintend- é f the Toronto Asy for the Insane

It will be noted particularly that, in the ex le! of Dr. Workman, the false accu sati is referred to come from " bad sery ants or imperfectly cured patients. Dr Workman is evidently not a reader of the P, friet hewspaper

Bat the people of the Province have, we think, ror i cause for comi- plaint against the Patrief, not only on account of the unfounded charges which, without a tittle of evidence, it j referred and pressed against the nianage

earnestness with which 1t demanded partial commission of enquiry, one would have imagined th would have been ready and anxious to publish the report in full—one would even have thought that ap- plication would have been made to the Gov- ernment on its behalf for ar advance copy of the Report, to publish to the world at the earliest possible moment ; and, for our part, we had f

good reasons for supposing-

in fact, we fully expected—that as soon as it peared tr e Royal Gazette, it would have appeared as lement to the Patriot It is well written : and would have been

lished in the Gazett scupied itself with nureery themes on ‘* Children’s Books,” etc

At the end of a week, and apparently after much cogitation, it brought forth a commentary in which the main poiut of the Repert,—viz: the unanimous opinion

Commissioners that the Hospital is and that there is no evidence serious charges made—is -n which the public are treated to a beggerly confession ‘that many stories told with the utmost confidence, and many rumors that had obtained a wide circula- tion, when they came to be sifted by the Commissioners, were proved to be merest trifles, or were shown to be wholly groundless, in which, as a sort of offset tothe confession, the employees of the Asylum are rated among perjurers, whose statements on oath are false and unworthy of credence.

[f Dr. Workman were a reader of the Patriot we think he would also have cause te lament its sad primeval purity of human nature.”

The Manson case excepted, the Commis- sioners (whose appointment was demanded by the Patriot) find all the Patriot’s charges unt The Patriot finds no fauld with them, and cheerfully beara tes- timony to the “ patience and thorough- ness” with which they did their work, but it fails to publish their report (or even a comprehensive suinmary of it) and trys to throw discredit upen the conclu-

of the

and

sions they have reached, by impeaching the truthfalness of the men and women

they examined upen oath.

Dr. Workman if he were here, would be horrified to find so striking an example of the turpitude which delights in beheving and trying to make others believe, ‘‘ evil of their fellow men.”

Homeward Bound.

Our next stepping place was at Washing- ton—the political capital of the United States. The grand attraction during my brief stay was the trial of Guitean. Every- body likes to h look at the monster monster in iniquity, if not in stature, Court, as it is conducted by Judge Cox, has been severely commented upoi by the press of the country. The psople in Washington refer to it as “* Judge Cox’s circus.” There is unquestionably some latitude for censure, but Judge Cox occu pies a very peculiar, and unenviable posi- tion, and there are two sides of the ques. tion. Gnuiteau has been allowed to defend himself, and consequently, it is not so easy to muzzle his tongue as one might imagine. If Judge Cox were too severe, and should

Js

! ai

gag him when he becomes noigy and bois- |

terous, his attorney and friends, if he has any, would have some cause of complaint. Az the trial ow eonducted, they cer- tainly can have none. There is also another view to be taken of the case. That Guiteau is playing the madman, to some extent, at least, is very certain. It is, therefore, urged in Judge Cox’s behalf, that he has decided to “give him rope enough and he wiil hang himeelf”—in other words

that he will overdo the acting, and thus convince the jury that he is not the fool he pretends to be. In the casual onlooker, however, one would suppose that the Judge 18 Wanting in dignity, §and has no disposi

tion to prevent the trial from being turned into a burlesque,

Is Guiteau insane? We should judge not. Still we cannot resist the conviction that, in some rescects, he is somewhat Crazed. He certainly has not the appear ance of a well balanced mind. He is what we should say heresomewhat “ cracked ” —but sane enough to know right from Wrong. Save enough to hang. Physically he is a miserable looking specimen of hu- manity. His body is small and consump: tive looking. His head is large, byt flat da tht top, wd his countenvnte forcthly

fire | Te Toronto Mail's special correspon- | dent in Ireland writes :—‘‘ As rents in [reland come down the cry for compensa- |tion goes up. The alarm is spreading every re not only in this eountry, but even i

with more intensity in England. The dif- ticulty of the situation is increased by the fact that the tenants, encouraged by the | liberal reductions of the sub-commissioners, | are holding back their rents with a view to

icompelling impecunious landlords to come toan advantageous settlement. The ar- ount of distress caused by the withholding

ilight, and I have geod reason to believe | that the representations now being made in |high quarters, aided by the well-grounded complaints appearing day after day in the columns of the newspapers, are attracting the attention of those who have it in their pewer to remedy any injustice that may be

done. Ido not for a mement wish to find fault with the decisions of the commission- era in reducing the rents Rents are i} bound to be reduced, unless both tenant land landlord are to go to the wali. But ‘those who advocate the claims of justice in | this great struggle cannot shut their eyes o the fact that many people have undoubt

edly been brought te ruin.

The correspondent mentions several painful instances, among which is the case f a lady, whose character for patience is amply testified te, with

luoder sulfering

no jointure or other means, widow of an ;estated gentleman who p ssessed £1,200! fa year. Her son, who now has the estate,

left the country eighteen months ago. leng as he received his rents he lived in

comfortable circumstances. .Now he re- ceives none, and is himself very ill. He

and his mother were obliged to apply and got poor-law relief (3s. a week). She says: ‘* A lady furnished a room for me. After paying rent and turf I have one shilling to provide every- thing. I am very badly off for a little warm clothing and other necessaries re- quired at this season. I am in dire dis-

| tress ” .Another lady, widow of a clergy- man, entitled to £20 a year rent and

|£78 a year interest on a mortgage, out (of which for the last year and a half ishe received £7, thus tells her |ewn tale:—‘‘Sinee my husband’s death I | have been paying £30 a year for thirteen | acres of glebe land. It has not made the | rent'and taxes for the past two years. Itis | all in meadowing; and this year it is ‘ boy- icotted.’ I had to borrow £30 to save and | out the hay, and the rent is due, as well as ithe rent my cottage. I have three 'daughters dependingon me. One of them, | through an accident, is unable to walk. 1 |am totally unable to do anything to sup- port myself, as I am old and delicate, owing |to my privations.

Diphtheria and its Treatment.

T'o the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,—Whilst diphtheria is making such ravages throughout the Provinces, I desire \through your columns te call attention to \the fact that in two well-attested instances |the poison in the system has been drawn laway from the throat, and caused to dis- | charge itself from other parts of the body. | One of these cases happened at Dundas in ithis Island; the other was reported from Ontarie. In both cases severe fieeh wounds

land the virus seems to the wounds to the relief of the throat.

It is well known that in small pox the same result may be obtained by applying blisters to the chest.

Will net some of those having diphtheria in their families try the same remedy in the early stage of the disease, and report results ; and will some of our doctors re- port on the use of sulphur-carbolate of soda ?

The inference to be deduced from the cases mentioned is simply this: that the disease collects in the tenderest part of the body, hence in the throat, unless a more tender part can be created by artificial means,

The Toronto World (Liberal) thus refers to the chief organ of the party :—‘‘ The Globe’s free trade articles would be more intelligible and more generally read if they were made shorter, and contained some particulars as to what duties, besides the |duty on coal, it proposes to abolish; also |how we are to enjoy free trade when our ‘next-door neighbors refuse to trade freely

with us ; likewise, where our revenue is to come from if we throw our markets open, if we are not to return to the Cartwrightian \teyime of deficits. These questions may }be shirked in wordy newspaper articles, | but they cannot be evaded upon the stump, | where the free traders have so far failed to | match their opponents.”
