HOW INSANE ARE TREATED , 'Talcs of Employes as to tbo Damnable Work at the Hospital , MATHEWSON AS A MIDNIGHT SPY The AbRcorulor Jlhinian and the Cute Gaums Ho I'lnycil ( in Friends A Woman In the Cnsii Iiln- eoln News. IrnoM Tiir. tirr.'s LINCOLN' ittinr.\r.1 Supplementary to tliu ilu.itlt of Dclncs nt llio insane ho.ipU.il , mid llio light let In on llio chlornt nnd water , nnd death dealing treatment there , il is in order to clean from the statements made by or.i- ploye.-i Fomo fncts anil figures concerning the management of the institution and the humnnilarian work that Dr. Jlalhcw- Mon exemplifies , or rallier hides , nnd which is only brought lo light when em ployes dnro say Iheir soul is their own , nnd nro willing lo inako statements. The State Journal can call the UKI'S ; expos- tire of frauds at that institution Ik-s , If in thai way it will assisl it in becoming yoku fellows with Dr. Mntliowson , nnd it can ally itself to the wrongs nnd wickedness of thai institution and its management. JJnt all Unit will not wipe out the cold fncts that nro on record , nnd the HIK : koop.i within the record. The record is dimming enough without straying away from it. There is n standing order thai patients nt llio hospital shall not be required to work , yet an nmiuoyo who has been long in the institution says Dial insane men in winter are worked shoveling coal until midnight nnd then a change is made lo ( mother patient in llio work until morn ing. It does not require much medical science lo delermine wholhur insane patients , worked on n coal pile through the night , lind in Dial treatment the highway to recovery. Another statement is made that patients whoso insanity WHS in a measure created by overheating are worked in the harvest field in thn broiling sun in the hottest days of the year out on tliu asylum farm. This kind of intelligent treatment does not require medical science to solve its mysteries. The standing o.xcnso for working patients is always ( hut they nro willing to work and the same excellent reason would let about a fourth of them jump from llio fourth story windows because Ihoy were willing lo .lump. An atlendant relates that in several instances he had watched a patient from the epileptic ward , who was liable to have a lit on n moment's notice , painting on the building three stories above terra lirmn , all of which is in evidence as to tlie inlolligoiit distribu tion of the work. "Tho way the hospital is run makes the place to employes much like a prison , " nail ! one former attendant Ijicrc. "Dur- iugsix weeks time , " he continued , " 1 had just one permit to leave llio building , and that was between the hours of 4 and 8 in the afternoon. " On that occasion , the party goes on to state , he wont out walk ing with a.young lady employed in the female department ; that they were hack before the end of their time , but Unit the next mornins the superintendent dis charged the lady without any cause or reason. li Said one old employe there : "If any two of us are s-cn _ talking together one of us is liable to walk , for the superintendent is afraid that something will bo found out , nnd it is a boast of his that he will keep no one who knows anything of the institution. " One of the attendants makes the state ment that in managing patients the doc tor has advised tliu use of : v club instead of bruising one's knuckles iu > in hand ling patients. Tlio anxiety of the super intendent to find out it tlio employes over talked about him , was illustrated in one way by the doctor's locking himself in a closet off the dining room at midnight to hear if the two night watchers talked about him or the institution. One of the night men makes the statement that the doctor owned up to being on the spy order when confronted with the closet racket. Tins illustrates a nice state of harmony between the head of the institu tion and the assistants. A man like Doilies could lay all night locked in a cell in a'lying condition without nurse or physician and bo dosed to donth with chloral , while the man who should have saved Ids lifo could put in his time spying on the help to see if any dared lo discuss His ad ministration. Till ; IIINMAN EI'ISOUK has been one of the topics of conversation in the city tlio past twenty-four hours , and a good deal is coming to light in the mat ter that is damaging to the party nml fully illustrates why ho has put as much time and space as possible between him self and the law. Hinman has boon for Komo time in tliu musical instrument bus iness in Lincoln , locating hero us the stale agent of the Kimhall Piano nnd Organ company. Ho lias apnarenlly been doing quite a business and no suspi cion of crooked work fastened upon him until a short time ago , when ho was ur- rested at Crete for forgery , at which time the man who now'is the heaviest loser by his decnmping helped him out by going on his bond. Hinman had a wife and child who , by his absconding , arc left in almost destitute circumstances , Hinman , likn most men who oomo to grief in cases like this , has bookkeeping another woman , some of the time hav ing her here in Lincoln , but most of the time in Crete. Tills undoubtedly explains plains why ho has gone to the dogs and become a refugee from jiistu-o. 1 Hu man's own wife know nothing of hi ; linsons in lids way , and not until ho lef did she suspect his true character. To u HUB representative she said herself ant husband lived pleasantly together , nl though she was not often happy , for hr would never stay at home , and durinp the last year ho had passed only throe Sundays with her. Her cnso is a sai one. and if any deserve pity she does for her people do not live hero nnd she n by his decamping loft destitute and with out moans of support. HOW IIINMAN WOItlCKD is just beginning to come l ( light since his nll'airs havi bocoino public. When tho. sheriff tool possession of his storeroom there wen two organs nnd a piano there , aside frou a litllo furniture. But this , oven did In own them , would not bo n drop towar < meeting his obligations. The heavies loser by his decamping seems to bo Mi Whitcomb , a resident nero of means , wh scums to hayu had a good deal of conli donoo m Hininan , and who wont on hi bond to the company for which h worked , as well as going on Ids bond ! i the forgery case. Hut this is only a smal part of his loss , for ho has from time t time bought notes from Hinman on a dh count , which notes wore from , or pm ported to bo from , parties in diflbront Ic oalitius , given in payment for instrii ments. The purchaser of these note now , however , has every reason to bi liovo that many of thorn are fictitious an forgeries , for in one or two cases alread it has boon ascertained that no such pui sons could bo found as had name atlixod to notes. The holder of thcso m certain securities thinks now that tlioi wns n woman confederate with lliunia in working these .forgod notes oil' , for h has several loiters that go to show ih : when sotr-0 of the notes fall duo , am when Jio would send written requests fo payments , that thOro was HO mo one wh Tcolvcd tUoui ami answered them b' putting ofT. If the note wa ? snpposod to bo given by ft farmer , the answer to tlin dun would come back with nn excuse for non-payment that ho hadn't shelled Ills corn yet , etc . all of which gees to show thai the scheme was u great one to raise money , nnd that Jlr. Whitcomb is holding Hie sack for no inconsiderable amount. Meanwhile liio officials are using ( lilligont measures to secure his arro-it and return to the cily , and the prospoels on hi return wotd'd undoubt edly show up very forcibly tor a turm in the penitentiary. CII\T AT TIIF. CM-ITU , oirv.

"Twenty convicts have secured tlmir ( lease in Iho last month through com- ilotion of sentence , " said Warden Nobos > f the penitentiary , "and owing to tiio naion of the year being upon us vhon courts arc enjoying vacations no ic w ones wore received during that time.

Allen in llariior.s' Magazine for September : This noble breed of bovines - vines is of remote origin. For some cen turies previous to tlio conquest of Eng land by the lirst William , in the .veiv , U'G ) ( , the warliico Scandinavians of Den mark and Swollen had made frequent pre datory incursions into Northnmbria. The object of these incursions was eon- iiuest , plunder , trade and subjection of the Unions to their rule and domination. Many ot the marauders settled in North- innbria , and bccaino incorporated with tlio natives by marriage and .suceivssion of their families , and so remained until the invading forces wore driven back to their own shores under the power of the now conqueror. As a consequence of the Scandinavian invasions commerce be tween them ami the Northumbrians be- camn treqiient , and the cattle of the neighboring continent were more or le < s introduced on British soil. So far as we can learn from imnerfect history and tradition , those cattle were largo in si/.o , short in the horns , ralhnr coarse frames , the cows giving abundance of milk , and , when fatted for slaughter , heavy weights of beef rather than coarse quality. Their colors were cither pure white , or pale red , or red and white more or less inter mixed with roan , or brindled , sometimes red , no other colors prevailing. Dlt has been from that ancient stock , in all probability , that the grand breed of improved short-horns has defended. The ancestors of them trace back to no other parts oIKnglaml than the counties of : m- 'jient Northnmbria , where the Scandina vians hold rule previous to tlio Norman conquest. A striking evidence of the ex istence of these cattle at an early datn is now seen in a piece of statuary in an arched niche of Durham cathedral- twenty feet or more _ above the ground. The figures are n fair resemblance of a short-horn cow of her day with two milk maids attending. Tlio present sculpture is of comparatively modern date , prob ably between the years 1780 and 1800 , when some parts of the tower were taken out and repaired. The original statute was too much broken to bo replacednml the present one is said to bo an exact counterpart of the original. Even this lias been somewhat mutilated. The ca thedral was finished about the year 1300. Why the statue was so inserted in the tower is explained by an ancient monkish legend existing some centuries previous to its original erection. Its condensed ac count may be given as follows : "St. Cntlibert , famed for royal descent an'l many great virtues , died on the COth of March , ( S87 , and was buried in Holy Island a meet place for so worthy anil sanuUllwl a man. There his body rested for two hundred years , but fmuTng Unit it would be disturbed by tlio devastation.- . of the Danes , it was exhumed for rein terment a few miles from Dnnholmo ( now Durham ) , whore it remained for one hundred years. Then the remains were removed to Union , in Yorkshire , ami after four months again taken for a linn ! resting pliico to Dunholmo. On their way thither , Bishop Aldwinus and the monks having charge of the removal , when n few miles Irom their destination , lost their way , when they stopped in despair , not knowing exactly where Dunholim lay. Soon , however , they heard a woman calling to another whom slid met thai her cow had strayed away , and uskod if eho had soon her. 'Yes , ' was the rcplj- 'just beyond Dunholmo,1 Thus guidoi : by the women , the , } found their way , and deposited the remains in a rude tem porary cathedral , constructed for the purpose , until the year 1093 , when the corner-stone of the present cathedra was laid. " This stature may bo criticised as not representing correctly a modern short I horn cow , but as it docs not ropre.'o it one of any other known breed , it ; ill'orilt quite probable evidence of that at nn enrJy period. The agriculture of Eng land for some centuries alter the con quest was rude , and progressive stock breeding was in a like condition , The clergy and monks of those early days wore altogether superior in learning tr the better classes of the people or ovoi the nobility , nml as they had npnronri ntod many of the choicest selections eland land on which lo build the monasteries anil abbeys , it may be supposed that tht limited agriculture in which they eh gaged was of a much higher unor ( than that ol the rude peasantry around them that limy also cultivated a better tnsto in heir domesticated animals , and adopt- ng the short horu.caUlo as their models , mprovcd their qualities to n consider- ible extent. Tin1 noblemen of their vi- initios may liitVe liroliled by their exam- iln and , as time progressed , nn increase n the good qualities of their cattle might ijivi ) followed to a time when subsequent listory could give truthful chronicles of their condition. \\"c \ have traditional reports of the ox- cellcnee.-of many of thcM-cattle so far iack as the seventeenth century , in which their wemhts were known , The Farmer mill Ills " \Viro Should Tnlco a Vacation. Lancaster 1-Xaminer : I mol an old gentleman the other dav who lives not more than twenty miles from L.incasler who said he had nut been in this city lor thirty years and only once in Philadel phia. Althoughthis _ may bo an excep tional case , yet it in a measure gauges the traveling propensity of our rural imputation , \\ithont doubt there are wti/ens In this oounlry who have never si-en a locomotive , many who never leave homo more than once'or twice a year , and then oiily to Lancaster. Our farmers have no idea of taking a rest by g > ing to see how others live. This does not eom < t Irom lack of money so much as lack of incentive or desire. Kven a county fair , a bisr circus or horse race will uol'nlluro the average farmer from the oven tenor of his way. He Works all day , is too tired at night to read the weekly paper , goes to bed earlv , and is aroused by the shrill crow of some dissipated rooster all too early. The whole year is a monotonous drag , The consequence is lie does not appreciate the big changes going on round him ; his home is a snail's palace , secure but dull ; ho becomes n vie- lim of local custom and a Bourbon in language , religion and politic * . A week's travel to the soa.-horo , to some great in- ( lu triul center , to the natural attractions our country affords , to some model farmer or great agricultural fairs held outside of the county in short to any place lifty miles from what is seen every day would be a vast benelil to our farmers. In this I do not forget the farmer's wife , whose life is a long round of house hold cares an J the labor of bringing up half n do/on of children. So T.say to our farmers , to the great majority of them who will not mind or feel the "pend ing of a coil's price take a vacation of two or three weeks. If the farmer should tuck his wife under his arm and wander into parts heretofore unknown , it would be more than conducive to his health and hapninovi and to that of his wife. It would add a new interest to litewould awaken in them new sensations and re alizations , change for the time being the current of their thoughts and the sub jects and objects on which they ordi narily dwell ; would open their eyes , expand - pand their lungs , improve their diges tion , increase their circulation and largely help to rejuvenate them. Such a trip would add new interest to home and to liomeail'eetioiH. Our farmers go troni home far too .seldom , and particularly ' for the purpose of again courting thei'r wives and affording thorn another taste of the days gone b.y. A Field IJQIIJJ Neglected. Every country physician should have a knowledge of iveterinary science , says Ben : IVrley Poor , in the American cu ! tivator. and be willing to prescribe for sick horses and .cattle . us well as for their owners. Attention , to the disease * of the lower animals is , no doubt of less consequence quence than curing the maladies of human beings , but .1 do not see why it should be rig\rde ) : . , as a matter of in ferior dignity to Jind remedies for the diseases ot the animal creation. No sei- enlilie man considers it beneath him to inquire into the causes 01 the potato rol , or the blighlin < ref the wheat crop. . The preservation of tilts health of domestic animals is , eyen apart from considera tion of humanity in the relief of sulloring to the beasts themselves , an exceedingly important thing in a pecuniary point of view. And besides this , the study of the best means for preserving tin1 health of the lower animals often develops facts and proneiples of no slight value in ref erence to the human system. Some of the most serious diseases to which man is subject are found amazingly near the same lorm in.horses , and need essentially the same treatment. 1 think that the whole subject of the di.-'eases of domestic animals has re ceived too litilo attention from scientilic men , and 1 am convinced , also , that in dividuals who wishto study those dis eases with a view of making themselves useful and earning a living , should have better opportunities for obtaining thorough information in regard to them than they now possess. 1 know of no Hold for the practical application of science which has hitherto been so much neglected , and 1 am piirsnaded that a proper attention to the matter would re pay the community fully ton fold for all the expense that would need to bo laid out upon it. Willows n n Crop. The money paid by manufacturers for the peeled osier wi'llows used in basket milking represents n huge sum annually. Much of the stojk i imported , for , although the climate of the United States is admirably adapted to the crop , culti vators have not been able successfully to complete with the cheap laoor of Europe in preparing the switches for market , and no machine has yet been success fully made to do the work. DAt Mncon ( Ua. ) , however , this industry is said to have boon successful. Colored women , girls and boys do the work of stripping the bark from the switchesand this labor being plenty in the south , one planter there , who last year prepared the switches from over 400,000 , willows , was so successful that , as stated , he last spring set 80,000 additional plants. He proposes to eontinuo tlin pkmtinir in his lovcos until about sixty acres will have been planted. In three years a full an nual crop of switches may beproduced , from planting , The shoots are from four to seven feet in height. A ton lo the acre is the average yield , and the willows when prepared , dried and shipped com mand ! fJOU : per ton in tlio larger cities of the country. Tlio crop is nut at any time after the leaves drop in the autumn and tlyin prepared at leisure for the manu facturers of willow ware. The mode of procedure at Macoi } is as follows : The switches are taken to the stripping building and pliiced'in a vat llllcd with water , warm preferred. Tlio largo -mills are then placed in a little machine which loosens the barkiforia couple of inches. Passing along Ion. ithn table they are piaced one by oiii ) in tlio strippers , and with a pair of pliersjtiro nulled through with one jork. Tlio process takes oil' all the bark and loaves The swHches are then wiped olfwitlj.a woolen cloth Ivy passing them tlfrouiu the hand , They are then buiullcij iuiuljluid away to dry. The leaves and b'nrK pro also dried and baled , and command a price of 25 cents per pound. , - , It Is possible that inventive talent may yet evolve a machine that will prepare the willow switches for market. It would soum partially to have boon accomplished in the south. At least tiio experiment seems to liavo been successful there. There is no means by which Joyces or banks may bo so cliaply protected from the action of water as by thoosier willow. Tlio roots interlace and bind every portion tion of the soil , In Europe , and especially along the Ithlno , they have long been used for this purpose , U'hy may they not in the south smro a double purpose protect levees and at the same time bring in u revenue' through the labor ol cheap help ? The , willow may yet have a mission to perform in that portion of the country , in addition to the protection it furnishes against the action of watoi upon the banks of .stream ? . Seasonable Ilium mill Surest ions. Ttto one great cause of the small pro fits of the majority of small fruit grow ers and market gardeners is duo to the tact tjat they try to work lee much and. A fat stc-p.r or other animal intended Tor the butcher will go otV readily nt any lime , but it is not possible to imt on tlio required fat in a few days , so it there Is .ho intention to sollgoou feeding is a pre requisite. The man who Inke * up farming just be cause he has failed at everything else has not a pleasant prospect before him. Ho is likely to add another failure to the list. list.A A remedy considered satisfactory tor various kinds of insects in stored grain consists in placing an open vesel of bl- Milphido of carbon on topof the grain in a tiuht bin. Petroleum , it is said , will often euro chicken cholera if given in time. A tablespoonful - spoonful in a pint of moat fed to the hens is sullicient. A corn crib may readily bo made rat- liroof by supporting it on cedar or locust ; hirty inches high posts and capped with i stone or broad board. Farmers are getting out of the habit of washing sheep. It is dangerous to men mil sheep , and unless the wool is very lean there is dirt enough to more than Lmhinco the difference in price. Tlio good start that a calf h-.is on milk in the tlrst few weeks must be kept at least through the llrsl year if the animal is lo have full development. The first winter is tlio trying time , but it requires only liberal feed and comfortable quar ters to maintain steady growth. Any thing short is sure to be lot. . Plans should bo laid to prepare the the ground lobe. pl-inted with raspberries or blackberries next spring this tall. If ; he grotnul is plowed at about the close of October , raspberries can bo planted as BOOH as frost is out without plowing. The idea that sheep at pasture will Ive and thrive without water to drink is i serious and costly delusion to many farmers. By eating when ( lew is on the * rnss they can get along with little water jut that little they require as absolutely as any other stock , or poor condition and poor wool will tell the story ol their de privation. Ma'.iy nurseryman advise transplant ing evc-rgreens n : late- summer rather Jiiin spring , as the pleasant moisture of Jio autumn ciu : > i-s them to root well be fore winter , and they are not first taxed to endure tlio scorching heat of early summer. It is unfortunate when tlio character and fertility of a Held is not nearly uni form in Its several parts. With uniform ity of soil the crop will ripen so that all can be harvested together , and this with machinery run by horse power is a great advantage. Do not feed a sow that has sucking pigs on too much dry food. She should nave plenty ot ship , but it should be rich nml nutritious. A mixture of corn meal , ground oats and middlings reduced to a thin consistency with skim milk is a good mess. Poultry growing , to bo successful , must lie conducted with great care and atten tion. Fowls imi.st have lijrhl , ventilla- tion , warmth , pure water , dry floors ( either of wpoil or earth ) , plenty of room , protection from enemies , sound , whole some food at regular times , and must be kept clear of vermin. No amount of ventillation will overcome the evil of steaming lilth in the pens. Many farmers in places where their land is swept by fierce winds find it profit able to plant tipple trees in in asses" large enough to mako'a wind break on the side of the farm most exposed. The apple tree branches low down , and if boarded by a fence four or live tcot hijrh on the windward side the ground will bo cov ered with snow almost as perfectly as it was in the original forests.

A Sn < l Case of I'oisoninn is that of any man or woman afllictcd with disease or derangement of tlio liver , resulting in poisonous accumulations in the blood , scrofulous alfcetions , siek- lic-ailuelies and diseases of the kidneys , lungs or heart. These troubles can bo cured only by goingto the primary cause , and putting the liver in a health } ' condi tion. To accomplish this result speedily and ufi'oetnally nothing has proved it self so elllcacio'us as Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery , " which has never failed to do the work claimed for it , urd never will. A lot of tipsy fellows in St. Paul painted the nose of one of their number a bright roil , ami he walked into the hall of the Salvation Army there for a joke , while the others took back seats to see the fun. But the Salvationists at once saw in him n lit subject for their prayers , mid they prayed and sung over tlio follow until lib became very penitent and apparently on the high road to converaion , to the dis gust of his companions.
