MADHOUSE INIQUITIES. HORRIBLE DISCLOSURES. eee TEN YEARS IN A SLAVE BASTILE. A Horald Commissioner's Visit to the New Or- leans Insane Asylum—One Hundred and Fifty Maniacs in Fifty-two Dark Colis—No Classi- fication, No Ventilation, No Qocupa- tion, No Hospital—Naked Maniacs Boarded Up in Stone Dun- geous—A Sickoning Re- oord of Official Nog. leet and Cruelty. New Orrmans, July ®, 1871, ‘The duties of a Hananp correspondent, which {re- quently conduct to strange places, not long stace led the present writer ato the parish prison at New Gricans to witness the hanging of a couple of hired bravos, who for $12 had murdered a Spanish sailor, High over all the din of preparation for the execu tion came shrieks and yells and inarticulate jabber- ings from some chamoer on @ line with the gallows and close at hand. Inquiry as tothe meaning of this strange outcry elicited the tuformation that it came from a crazy woman im the insane asyjam, next door, who, even ur her insanity, was conscious of what was going on 80 near her, ‘The bare fact that people whose sole offence against society was their being visited with the most terrivie affliction in the whole range of human ils should be made the conr- putsory participants in a scene such as that about to - be enacted, the horrors of: which must of necessity add to thetr disease, seomed of itself to court Inquiry and ventilation, and the polut was stored up in the reporter's memory for future use, He expected to find some gross example of oficial crdelty; but the most vivid imagination could scarcely have pictured suoh horrors as subsequent investigations nave brought to lignt. Waiting yesterday upon the City Physiclan, Dr. J. B, Cooper, in whose medical charge the ssylum 1s, and explaining to him the object of the visit, 1 was courteously and promptly met by au offer on the part of the Doctor of his buggy aud his company to the asylum. Both tenders being cordially ac- cepted, a short drive set us down in front of amassive, sombre, slate-colored building, in the very heart of the citv—windowless, gloomy aad re- puisive, Nothing but the words, “Insane Asylumn” conspicuously painted over the arched gateway. could have dispossessed a stranier of the idea that be was gazing upon a prison of the worst type, built before Howard and the philanthropists taught jatlers humanity. In the evening myriads of bats issue from its rotting roof and make nignt loathsome. The heavy iron gate swung slowly on its hinges, and Mr. J. E. Durtilet, the Superintendent of the inatitution, bade us welcome to THE MADHOUSE. Another iron-barrea gate being unlocked, we came guddenly into the courtyard of the buliding, sixty- feet long by fifty wide, paved with granite fag stones, between wich the moisture of the earth ooged in slimy patches, On the left side was @ bigh, blank wall, colored the same dismal slate hue as the exterior of the building—the sole prospect the Inmates are permitted to enjoy. Open to the sky through the courtyard was a SICKENING, FO:TID SMELL, too faint to be called a stench, but so all-pervading as never to leave you for an instant unconscious of its presence, calling attention to the fact that in this small yard some fifty madmen were taking “exer- cise and air.” Dressed in all kinds of rags, some with shirts and some without, there they were talk- ing, walking, raving, sleeping or burled in their own sad, fearful reveries, Gianciug round tn search of some appliances for the amusement and relaxa- tion of the uabappy inmates, [ found none. Not a book, not an occupation, not even a domino ora pack of cards. Blank vacuity sat upon the face of every one not tortured by the dread imagiaations of active insanity. The noonday July sun poured down its scorching beams upon their unprotected heads. Some few were smok- ng and approached us with piteous pleadings for tobacco, which, in limited qnantities, 1s supplied to them by the Institution. Tne rest paced up and down like caged hyenas or crowded in the door- ways of thelr cells. On some boards in a dark cor- Der squatted @ swarthy white man, naked to the waist, and looking In the dim obscurity like some filthy ghoul engaged in obscene rites. “That is the man,’ said the Superintendent, “who Was sent here from Amité River by his friends, and was dumped down at the ratiroad depot, like so much lumber, and there leit to his tate,’? Leaning against a pillar was a tall, atari man, in a colored shirt, stauding Immovable as a statue. “That 18 a bad case,” remarked the Do ~ “the were set free he Would sirike you to the earth on te instant.’?

ON THE WOMBN’S 8I1DB of the institute we found just the same sickening scenes, and if possibile worse were disclosed, There were just the same number of cells, of presitely the same Consiructiun, and even more patients to crowd into them, there being seventy-five women to twen- ty-six cel. ‘Lhe crazy womau, who on the day of the execution raised 80 much tumult, was qnet now, and advanced to meet us with an Insane and meaningless smirk, more saddening, almost, thaa her ravings.

Mr. Edmund Falconer’s Irish drama of ‘Eileen Oge,” produced at the Princess fheatro on Thura- day evening, has little claim to novelty, This is an objection, however, which does not apply to it with more severity than to anything else within the bounds of creation.

It is prominent not only because this is the first public exhibition of Towing ever presented by the students of this col- } lewe, but that the crews themselves, standing on their intrinsic merits, bit fairly to prove worthy an- tagonists for the older organizations in aquatic sports from their fellows in the leading colleges of the country, Until 1867 nothing like a boating or- ganization had ever been formed at this col- lege, The love of athletic sports, wherever it cropped out, had been sternly repressed by ‘he vastiy orthodox coliege facuity, they deem- ing chess and checkers the more fitting recreacion for a sedentary mind, The advent of Freeman A.
