ASYLUM NOTES.
“C. SHARP. - ’
., can venture the assertion thnt
there is not an asylum in the whole
country that is conducted on broader,
more humane and at the same time
more acceptable principles than that
Jy °A U ’ "“hie old Empire State of the
south. Nor is there one where there
18 Jess distance and more approacha
ble congeniality between the officers
in charge and the patients, or those
at least of them, who are not so fur
deranged as to be oblivious of the
proprieties of life. There is constant
ly. s °uie pleasant and sociable cotu-
unngliug of the officers and some one
® r . ? t P er °t the patients; occasions on
winch patients sufficiently convales
cent are invited to the parlors of the
officers where there are the pleasant
interchange of civilties and friend
ly courtesies. This being the case,
tnere exists between the officers and
patients of this class a kind and cor-
1,1, “ ion dly feeling and these patients
, e learned to look upon the officers
« tlle Dffht of personal friends
tnaii officers iu authority over them,
it is a matter that requires much deli
cacy of judgment to admit of this in
timate friendship without destroying
tnat authority that is necessarily re
quisite for the proper management
of so large an institution, still it is ac
complished with a nicety of exactness
that is Avonderfui. Ur. Powell is so
gentle and dignified that, when it is
necessary for him to issue even a most
unpleusunt command, or to deny any
request, it is done iu such a way as,
at once, silences any objection and yet,
so kindly done, it seems as if he Avere
conferring a favor instead. He is
never haughty, austere or unap
proachable, but on the contrary, the
slightest trouble of the most simple
imbecile finds access to his ear and
prompt attention, as readily as if it
were preferred by the Governor of the
State or the President. The conse
quence is the patients are ail fond of
mm, look up to him as a father and
his rule in the Asylum is emphatically
one of loye instead of one of fear and
foroe.
The Board of Trustees held a meet
ing at the asylum to day the 24tli but
your reporter has not learned the na
ture of any business transacted.
Our-Trans Marine R. R. President
and builder took issue at our jocose
criticism of his lecture last week.
He says our report was incorrect—
that the “wind was not taken out of
his sails” and that his lecture Avas not
upon his railroad across the Atlantic
but upon “Woman’s Mission.” He has
a new idea now. He says the Hatli-
orn Spring at Saratoga is not a natu
ral spring but made artificially and
he proposes to discover one, iu the
bottom near the asylum, after hav
ing first prepared it by mixing the
chemicals in barrels of water m the
dome of the asylum, from which pipes
may run under ground and open in
to the ground in some low place and
let the mineral water burst out as if
natural. He says also that he would
have acliainpaigne andcatawbaspring
on the same principle, over which a
curator must be placed and charge
ten cents a glass from the natural (?)
cliainpaigne spring. To accomplish
it, however, he says it will first be ne
cessary to turn Mr. Windsor and Mr.
Lamar out of office, for it Avould “re-
quirea little sAvindling” and their con
sciences arc not elastic enough. So
“there is method in his madness.”
Ur. Hall had tlie misfortune to get
his shoulder dislocated last Sunday
morning in a scuffle with an obstrep
erous patient who was attempting to
escape, but he is O. K. now and on
duty as usual.
The “Asylum Uilettanti Club,’’
now that the measles have about dis
appeared, will resume their usual en
tertainments as soon as the weuther
becomes settled again. They are
very pleasant occasions and the social
pleasure of them has been much miss
ed since their suspension for some
weeks past, during the prevalence of
measles.
The Union-Recorder is always
anxiously looked for every Tuesday
morning, not only by its regular sub
scribers but by many others who like to
read it, and your .reporter observes
with pleasure that your asylum notes
are quite extensively copied from
throughout the State. But that is
natural, for people iu every county in
the State have some interest iu it and
like to know what is transpiring
there.

Dissolution and New Partnership.
Th(> partnership heretofore existing
between J. W. McMillaud E. T. Ai
ling as Builders and Contractors has
been dissolved. Air. McMillan has
sold his interest to Mr. Jesse W. Tun
ned, of Union Point, who is a practi
cal and successful builder, and will be
quite an acquisition to the business
interests of our growing city. We
learn that Ailing and Tunnell will en
large their Planing Mill in this city,
anti otherwise increase their business.
These competant and reliable con
tractors and builders will doubtless
have their hands full of work, for
there is a constant and increasing de
mand for new residences in this city.
Mr. McMillan will now devote liis en
tire time to the manufacture of brick,
tile increased demand for which in
this city and the surrounding coun
try will require the whole of Ids time
to supply it.
Sallie Steele, her mother and Caro
line Choice have been arrested and
lodged in jail charged with the drown
ing of the infant found in the river a
week or two since. After employ
ing counsel they were immediately
bailed without difficulty. Messrs.
Crawford, Grieve and Sanford were
retained for the defence.
A detachment of the Salvation Army
will reach this place this week. Capt.
Agar, of the second Southern Bivis
ion, came to this place last week and
completed arrangements for their
stay. The Opera House has been se
cured for three months, where ser
vices will be held daily.
