According to his own story one Juan De Botte, who claims to be a resident of Jersey City, has been fated to repeat @ very general experience, Some days since he dolefully appeared at the Central Detective Office, and, although abashed by the regal farnitare of the establishment, managed to pour his sorrows into the sympathizing car of Chief Kelso, It was a plain and exceedingly unvar- Nighed tale he delivered. Tho 6th of September last was with him @ memorable epoch; for he was drunk that night, and being drunk had wandered to New York and easily scrapedup an acquaintance with Fanny Doran and Lizzie Smith, whom ho encountered in the strest in tho course of hig rat. bles, Ho accomparied them to 110 Carystie streat, and did not leave them until the next day, and when he did, founa that he was minus $1,800 in coin, $300 in currency, $800 in jewelry and $500 in United States bonds, which he declared be had upon his person when he entered the h exprossed an opinion that he rob! by the two women, and Chief Kelso s0 coincided that ho deiatied detectives Vaughan aud Simington to look them up, But that was no easy task; for they had disappeared from their nsnal haunts, and woman Smith never having been found, {t was not until Saturday thas Fi ‘was arrested, and with her one Thomas Bchnelder, a German, living at No. 55 Bayard strect, had been stabbed tn the back and several other parts @: the body. Judging from what Sconeider Btated at the Coroner's oilice, he is not i a dunger- ous condition, the pracipal object aparently being to causo the arrest of Ernest Loppensock, charged with inflicting the injuries, The latter, It was stated, jives at No. 36 Virst street.

Subsequent exainination has shown that the burglars entered through a rear door leading from tho directors’ room tothe yard. The lock of thia door seems to have beon easily picked, and opening it the buryiars were in front of tho vauit, the doors to which had a Butterworth lock, whitch they burat with powder, To, hide their nefarious doings the burglars had brought with them large feces of cloth, with which they hung the windows O prevent tho light they used from being seen from without, There were two explosions heard by several persons residing tn the neighborhood—ong at half-past three and the other at about four o'clock, in the morn! 3 Just before the latter explosion two watchmen had pu’ out the gasiight in front of te bank and moved up Wall street.

What Both Parties Are Doing—Tho Euterpe and the Spanish Mosquito Blect. The positron of the United States with reference to the Spanish government ts exciting great attention. Lawyers are overhauling Vattel and Wheating, spies Gre about, and the general pubuo are deeply inter- ested. The Intimations in yesterday's despatches from Washington as to the course of the Cabinet created a good deal of excitement, and people are anxiously inquirmg what next? Since the arrest of the leadera of the Cubans in this city by the United States authorities efforta have been made by the principals stationed here in the interests of the Cuban revolntion, but great care has been taken to keep withiu tho law. Al! that baa been done by the Junta in support of tac Cuban army has been managed with the view of not embrotiing the United Siaces authorities in international dafileuity. The fitting aut of the Hornet (now the Guba) and other vecse"s of the Cuban expeditionary force was 80 Managed as not to disiurb the peacetnl relations existing between our govesumens aud the Bpanish tegency. It how scems that the steamer Eucerpe, stil! lying at pier No. 20, will be the cause of serious complica- tions. She is owned by Mallory & Co., the buiiders of the fifteen Spanish gunboats at Mystic, Conn., and when taken up by the agents of the Madrid gov- erntoent was inthe New York and Galveston line, Sue Is a small propeller of 702 tons measurement and 1,000 tons burden, 1s commanded by Captain Gates, and sails ten knots aa hour under favorable circum: atances, If should be sald that she fies the Stars and Stupes.

It would seem that the United States authorities are in a perfect muddle con. cerning the matter. ‘There are jew who have not heard of the showman who atiracted attention to lis cara- vausary by yelling, ‘Here, ladies aud gentlemen, you have Daniel 10 the lion’s den, Daniel does not vare a ‘darn’ for the lon, and the lion does not care @ ‘darn’ for Daniel’?

Chonteau his executors. The personal proporty of ‘he tesiator consisted Tnoatiy of railroad bonds and securities, bearing interest, and which at the time of bis death were in the city of New York, He was giso amomber of tue firm of Chouteau, Harrison & Valie and of the firm of Peter Chouteay, Jr, & Co. The bonds were brought back from New York— amounting to $1,200,000-~-some time in February, ‘These bonds wero divided by the three executors between Mr. Charica P.

In tho spring of 1860 the Leglalature authorized the appointment of commissioneis to select a sulta- bie location for the Hudson River State Hospital for the Insane, In January of the following year the commissioners reported to the Legisioture that they Kad received from the citizens of Dutchess county, fa @ free gift to the stale, a site consist: ing of 206 acres near tho’ city of Pough- keepsie, and fronting upon the Hudson river. ‘The site thus generously presented to the Siate was purchased by the citizens of Dutchess jer the sum of $85,000. ‘The location, as respecia the eastern Her of counties which comprise tne hospital dis- trict, 19 georraphica!ly central, easily accessible by river and raiiway, and distipguishea for {ts salu- brity aud commanding beauty.

Cc ct, DESORIPTION OF THR NEW BUILDING, A brief description of the pian of the Hudson River liogpital aad an account of some of the embarrassments atlending Its construction we trast may not prove wearisome, The genera! form of the hospital buildings 1s thas of an extended V, the pointe! the leiter repreaent- ing the central edifice, fronung westward, and the ines the two wings, Which, however, do not rec in oblique straight tines, but iall back In successive offsets at right angles with the direction of the main front, 80 that in each wing there are three longitud nal portions ronning north and south, und two transverre portions running east and west. rect distance between the extremes of the wings 18 about 1,400 feet, while the central building Is about 600 feet in advance of the rear iine. ‘The hospital is planned to accommodate about 200 atients of each sex, the wards for men, cous.tit- ing ihe euttre wing to the south, and the ward: Jor women the entire wing to the norti of the central building, which is devoted to the various departments of general iman- agemen’, Tie chapel is placed between the Wings and in the rear of the central building, so that patients of one sex are prevented from looking ito tie wards or yards of patients of the other sex, The kitchen and general service departinent is located in the rear of the chapel. The departinent for each sex consists of four wards on the principal floor, four wards on the second floor, one Ward on the third fioor, and an inGrmary on the third four separated entirely irom the rest of the wards, eh ward ts furnished with a hall and fire-proof staircase on the front line of the building, und roads of approach are intended to be arranged so as to give a separate access to the entrance hall thus at- tached to every ward, A hall, with tire-proof* reaee communicating with an airing court, is iged also in each ward on the rear line of the arr butlding. ‘The wards for the more excited patients are far- thest removed from the central building, and have bedrooms only on one side of the corridora. For the sake of economy tis plan i# not foilowed throughout, bedrooms being placed on both sides of the corridors in the wards for quiet patients. In the portions of the building us arranged open spaces are left in the centre of the front line of each sec- tion for light and circulation of air. These spaces, marked *Oubra” on the plans, are intended uiso to be used oF patients in mild weather for open alr exercise, In Immediate connection with the wards to which they are attached, It will be observed thatin the wards containing bedrooms on both sides of @ corridor the living rooms, lavatories, &c., are arranged on one side vniy of a separate corridor that runs at right angles to a bedioom section, Every ward, in addition to its dor- mitories, is provided with @ living room of Jarge dimensions, having windows on thiree sides of 1; @ dining room, with pantry attached, comuimni- cating by lifts with the basement corridor connect- ing with the service departinent; a lavatory, a room in which @ patient may be thoroughly washed froia head to foot, either in a aitting or standing postare, the whole floor and the sides of the rooin for six inches in height being made watertight, and fitted with a wash pipe; @ bathroom, with the bath placed in the centre of the apartment, and with screened dressing space attached; a room containing water closets and urinals and asiuk for the nse of te attendant; a linen aud clothes room, and a dirty Mnen shaft large enough to be used for hoisty purposes. Each ward 1s provided with one single and donbie bedroom for attendants.

Attached to the convalescent wards on the men’s side are a library, ® writing roomand a billiard room, id 10 & corresponding position on the ide, @ library, a sewing room and a gym- nasium. The tallors’ room can also be approached under cover, by patients from the wards on tho men’s side, and the troning room from the wards on the women’s side. The kitchen and general service department are provided for, as shown om the plan, in a detached butiding on a ievet with the basement floor of the main buila- 1ng, 80 that a rallway may run from the kitchen to to the lifts attached to the dining rooms of the various wards. The laundry butidings will be placed near the river. Bedrooms for the servants are pro- vided near the kitchen Shatiaan Workshops for carpenters and other mechanics are planned tn the vicinity of the kitchen building, id a boiler room, with engine and fanroums, are jocated at the extreme rear of the space occupied by the service department and workshops, In each wing a cold air shaft, running under the principal floor and connected with the fanroom, 1s arranged to carry fresh, coid air by means of sepa- rate flues to every room in every ward, and in winter steam heat is intended to be applied on the baso- ment level at the points of junction at which the vertical flues branch from the general horizontal air al ‘ft. Ventilating fines are provided for the different apartments, and terminate in chimueys or under ridge-roo! ach wing is connected with the central building through a one-story corridor, to which @ conserva. tory or plant cabinet Is attached. [tis intended that this structure should be furnished with shrubs snd plants of a somewhat hardy character, so ag to pre- Bent at this available point a pleasant generai effect to patients and visitors, without any great exponse for maintenance, It may be observed in this con- nection that on entering the building the view throngh the window across the bali !s terminated by the detached chapel, and that generally it has been thought @ matter of considerabie importance to secure @ cheerful, liberal Orst impression in counec- tion with che main entrance to the building. ‘The board room ison the principal floor of the -central building, which also coutains the reception room for patienta and the offices for the medical department, and for the steward andr ‘on.

All the interlor walls are to be solidly built of brick, the Moora will be deafened in the most eifec- tual manner, fireproof stairways will bo adopted throughout and all possible precautions will be introduced for the safety of patients. While the interior arrangements and finish will be attractive, the exterior of the structure will be made bright and inviting to the eye, not by columns, entablatures, carvings or heavy architectural details, bot by the varied outline of its walls and roof, th io spacing of its wail openings, the deep shadows of the window recesses and the skil- ful contrasting of colors in the arrangement of the slone and brick of the walig, YES WORK UPON THR EDIFICE. Works upon the hospital was commenced iate In the geasol of 1837, but little was done that year apon yating the cellar and putting in the foundation of one travorse section, During tue Same season a wharf was built, roads were mace to favilitato the tausportation of material, shops, tools and machines were prepared, a quatry waa opened on the grounds, and a large quantity of Duliding inaterial was hauled to the site, The year i865 saw one section of more than 230 feet sn jen , One-half three and the balance two stories in beyght, w and roofed. ‘This section is now A!) plastered, and 18 In the hands of the joiners, who have 80 much of the ineldo woodwork done that the Dutlding wii be completed this year, Another section, $10 feet jong, Waa begun this season.

So far as compari- fons can be made, none of the work has cost so much as individ mechanics pay for similar ser- vice, and the expense to the State, tf it were done by contract, would probably be from ten to twenty- five per cent higher than it now 13.

Much of the effort to prosecute the work in the most economical and advantageous manuer has, we regret to say, been neutralized by the policy adopted by the a omegy ie in its appropriations. The fact seems to have been overlooked that an exponditare too small to effect its purpose tn reality deleats 16, and that false economy 1s only another name for the worst sort of extravagance. it is evident that the speedy completion of the fospital would bring speedy returns from the money invested, and that 80 far as its influence exteadeu the lucreasing ide of pauperisim reaulttng froin negieciod menua disease would be arresied, Its speedy completion would, moreover, insure @ vey coushierable dim auton to the cost Of materials dud ‘0 Wcidental ex- pensea, Unfortunately the smal! amount accorded by the Legisiature is robbed of rauch of its value by tho delay of the appropriation until the very close of the session.
