The Commissioners’ reply to the com: pine of Dr. C. P. Purvis that the intendant of the work and almshouse refuses to receive incurable pa- tients now in the Freedman’s hospital under the doctor's charge “that they doubt their au- thority to receive such casesin the municipal hospital of the Distriet; but that even if there ‘were no question on that point the funds for the support of the asylum will not warrant the ad- ditional expense that would be imposed by the muintainment of those persons." It is complained by those In charge of the asylum hospital that Incurable_and sometimes almost dying patients from the Freedman’s aud other hospitals of the District are im upon the asylum hospital to Its discredit, as this practice increases its death rate and decreases that of the other hospitals, by ridding them of hopeless cases which they are well able to care for.

When the twelfth national conference of charities and corrections met in this city last June one of the delegates made the following statement: ‘A beautiful and charming young lady, Just out of her teens, used to wealth, Is extravagant, and her father, reduced in circumstances, finds himself anabie to restrain her habit of spend- ing, concludes she requires custodial care, piaces her in a hospital, heedless of her earnest protests; he dies and leaves uer there. There she hus’ been nearly talrty years, and 1s now nearly sixty years of age, and still beguing to be released, but the custodian still thinks she eeds ‘custodial care and she remains to this day under restraint of her personal liberty. ‘The lady reierred to was Miss Adriauna B. been confined in the State Lunatic asylum at Philadelphia for 27 years on the extraordinary charge of “extrav: nce and eccentricity.” She is a daughter of the jae Dr, Win. Driper ‘Brinckle, whe moved in the highest circles of society In Philadelphia thirty years ago. Miss Brinckle was an ac- Knowied belle. | Bho wns extremely extravu- aut, but a change in the financial standing of er father made it {mpoasibie for him to pay her bills as he had done before. Adrianna was unable to overcome her extravagant tastes, and without knowing anything of the law in kuch cuses ordered @ piano und o set of furai- ture, which she sold before paying for them. Thig proceeding scandalized the set to which the Brinckles belonged, and, as it was stated at the,time, tosave the fanally Uonor, Miss Brinokle was sent to the asylum, entering it in July, Her father soon’ alterwards died, bui leaving his danghter In confinement, ‘The public statement above quoted lead to an investigation of the case and the release yester- day of the lady, Miss Brinckle is now a gray- fred womun of slxty, In the full possession of all her faculties, and in'good bodily health.

SIR JAMFS PAGET'S OPINION ‘The question whether the executive commit to: of the Copenhagen congress still exists fur thet complicates the case. One or two medical journals flatly state does not exist, w Maat the uke Congres inust be held th this country under the plan of the Ameri: can Medical association as it is now con- stituted. Sir James t, president of the ion congress In 1881, and who, upon the dea.n of Professor Panui, president of the Copentiagen congress in 1884, became @ mem- Der of the international commilttee, hus written a letter to Dr. Minis Hays, of the Medical News, in which he evidently considers that the inter- national committee's advice and co-operation should be sought, He says in his letter, dated London, July 22, 1885: believe that'a principal question relates to the authority, it cade ven by the ready, ceived congress at Sopent <1 1884 to the gentle- meu ‘who conveyed “ig invitation. that. he next meeting should be held in the United States of America. I belleve that it aas never been considered that the members of one eon- grew should give any formal authority for ap part ot the organization of the next. At eac! Tueeting some place has been named at which it was deemed desirable that the next shoatd be held; and at the same time or soon afterwards, some ns of high _re- pute in ‘that place have been asked to take sueh steps as they might deem necessary OF most likely to promote a successful meeting. ‘Thus, after the congress at Amsterdam, {a 1879, the president, Prof, Donders, wrote, in the first instance, to’ Sir Joseph Lister and Sir William Bowman, and by them, and those whom they asked to act with toem, the Brat and all the principal subsequent measures were adopted for the promotion of the meeting in London, ‘Sir Risdon Bennett, the chairman of the executive committee, com- municated to Professor Hannover und Froies- sor Panum, of Copenhagen, the desire that tbe next meetlag might be ih one of the chief cities of Scandinavia; and those gentlemen, and others acting with them, began and ha the principal part in all the arrangements tor the congress in Copenhagen. I tully believe that It was understood at Copenhagen that the Saino courve would be pursued inthe organiza- tion of the congress to be held at Washington. I was at the general meeting at whith, after some discussion, the majority of the members Present expressed the wish that the next con- ress should be in the United State: ave no doubt that it was expected distinguished American gentlemen there present would obtain the co-operation of the most eminent of their protessional brethren, and would, with them, make all the arrangements whicti they should doom best, Certafuly it was not sap) that the em- gress would be regulated with any degree of excluslyeness by the members of one medical association, however numerous, and I think It quite as certain that if this hid been thought possible the prcp sul that the next meet should be held in the United states would noi have been adopted. I am sorry also to feel gure that if the congress be not supported by the eminent men who have now declared that they will take no part in it the members of the profession in this country who will at- tend it will be very few. And {iu this opinion,as well asin all thatl have written here, I have the concurrence of several of the most influen- Ual of the London congress, with whom, before this writing. I consuite oe —___ DESTRUCTIVE GRASSHOPPERS. —Owing to the rumors of injury by grasshoppers in parts of Montane the signal bureau has, at Prof, Riley’s uest, instructed Its agents in the northwest to telegtaph at once observations of injury or movements Instead of sending thelr montuly, as heretofore. Professor Riley also sent fn agent to the field, whose reports confirm previous statements, Not only wre there large numbers of this destructive Hocky mountain species at work, but the common “native” and non-migratory species are also much more numerous than usual.

A wealthy Persian can have four wives and several concubines, These women drive out in cerriane and visit one an- other, and are watched with the greatest care, ‘The wives of poorer men go about on foot, but all alike are covered with a dark blue mantle, which falls to the feet, concealing the for Over tho face Is a white'vell with apertures for 1e eyes. “The rooms have 1a windows set in richly decorated sashes and opening on the cuurt- yards, and frequently these” windows ure Studded with colored glass, giving a cathedral effect to the high-ceilinged rooms, Ail the rooms have dirt floors, but they are hardly no- ticed, for they are covered with matting and rieh rugs. In one of the room there ia Toattress covered with rugs, and on this the Pet sian sits during the day and sleeps at night. Some of the rooms have tanks in their center, giving them an alr of luxury. Totten wonder why water is not used more in this way in other countries, It does not create dampness, as the clima’e in Persia is very dry, There is a sepa- rate room for the bath, and its appointments are often luxurious. Christians are obliged to have separate baths from the Mahometans,” What are the cay. habits of Persians?" “Every one from the king down rises at 6 clock {n the morning, ‘They then partake of cup of tea and some bread. ‘Tea is a very im- portant article of diet in Persia, and the ten urn nearly always busy. No milk is used, but they sweeten the tea almost to the consisten of syrup. Tea over, me merchant goes to bis shop in the bazaar. This bazaar consists of a hundred narrow streets roofed over with brick arches, which are pleroed here and there to ad- mit Hght’and air. The merchant sits in a booth {a front of hls store, and awaits custom. “Ho charges a much er, price than he expects, to get, afer the ‘usual Oriental style. At noon he makes a substantial breakfast in the bazaar, and then, as the middle of the day is very hot, he takes & nap. About 4 o'clock Be goes home and takes @ ride, returns to dinner, and then at about 7 o'clock’ enters his anduroom, When once there he is inaccessible excepton the most urgent busivess, It fs a sufficient excuse for not recelving @ caller to say that a man is in his andaroon.
