Western Insane Asylum.
The board of directors of the
Western North Carolina Insane
Asylum ;il Morganton held its lust
meeting for the year at the institu-tion
last week. The superintendent
and subordinate officers submitted
their reports to the board and the
board prepared its report to the
Governor, to be by him transmitted
to the General Assembly. All of
these reports arc for two years"
operations of the asylum, ami,it is
hoped thai every member of -the
legislature now soon to assemble
will read them carefully.
The General Assembly at its last
session appropriated for the sup-port
of the institution for two
years, $175,000. It was allowed to
retain for betterments a small sur-plus
which it had been enabled to
carry over from the biennial period
|sj>C to 1888, and the total expenses
from December I, 188$, to Novem-ber
30, 1890, were $17^,885.96. The
difference between this amount and
the amount appropriated for the
period, viz.: $175,UO0, (tune out of I fortunate insane nt less than double
the surplus just referred to, and ai wllat it m„ t)l fec,i ;l prisoner in

than this, and the Legislature will
be asked to merely continue the
present appropriation of $90,000'
per year. This is $180.00 per year1
per capita for .Mm inmates, and it i
should be understood that this:
amount not only feeds and clothes
the patients, but provides skilled
treatment, pays all salaries, pays
for drugs, fuel, lights, repairs, and
meets all expenses of every sort
whatsoever. The jailer of Iredcll
county is paid 2") eents per day for
boarding the prisoners in the comi-ty
jail and all concede that the
Ggure is verv low—some counties
pay 40 eents and others as high as
50 cents. This 2.r> cents per day

CHICAGO, 111., Dee. 29.—A dis-patch
from Wounded Knee, S. D.,
gives details of the surrender of
Big Foot's band* as follows: Sun-day
morning dawned bright and
warm as a Summer day. Everyone
of the soldiers had his overcoat
off. and was talking weather.
Fifteen Indian scouts had been
gone two days, and there was no
word from them. Little Battle
started out at daybreak, and at
10 :30 he was seen dashing over the
ridge for the camp waving his hat.
In n few minutes, he Was at TiiaJ.
Whiteside's quarters, with the good
news that Big Foot was only eight
miles away.
"Hoots and Saddles'' was sound-ed,
and if ever a lot of men got out
of camp in a hurry, it was the vet-erans
of the 7th Infantry. In a
few moments they were hurrying
over the ridge eastward toward Por-cupine
Hutte, passing that they
turned north and cast decending
the slope to Porcupine valley,
where soon Big Foot's band was
driven up in line, like soldiers, and
apparently ready for battle.
There was over 150 warlike
bucks heavily armed facing the
cavalry that they met in 1870 on
Little Big Horn. Cine shot from
any source iiud a tragedy would go
over the wires, but Big Foot ad-vanced
from his side, anil Major
Whitesides from the Hoys in Blue.
Itig Foot started in for a long
talk on how weary he was of run-ning
around, and said he wanted
to open his hear) to the Chief of
the soldiers.
Whitesides was then
SENATOR VANCE.
He is a Man of the People in Every
Sense of the Word.
Senator Vance today spoke for
a little over an hour to the most
attentive Senate of the present de-bate.
As usual, his speech was
replete with wit, philosophy and
poesy. His analysis of the" Force
bill was brief, but complete ami
pointed. In fact it was the best
description of the bill that has yet
been rendered. He is a member of
the committee on privileges and
elections, and consequently devoted
unusual study to the true inward-ness
of the bill. He laid it bare,
and in doing so discussed all its
phases in a manner that will be
understood by the people. There
is no more attractive speaker than
Vance in the Senate of the United
States, and no man with more gen-eral
influence. He is a man of the
people in every sense of the word.
There is no man in Congress who
has more sympathy with the farm-ers
and laborers of the country.
The Republican side of the Senate
was deserted as usual when Sena-tor
Vance took the floor, but grad-ually
the Republicans began sneak-ing
back when the word was passed
around that Vance was speaking.
The Republicans, while pursuing a
policy of obscurantism and dodg-ing
debate in discussion, are still
not insensible to a literary treat,
and consequently the North Caro-lina
Senator was done the honor of
their return to the chamber and
hearing him.—St. CON/* Republic.

A Story of the Johnstown Flood.
In May. 1889. a young man
named John A Little who worked
for llie L. A. Smith Wooden Ware
Company of Pittsburg, left for a
short vacation, and as he was go
ing he said to Christian McKee, a
fellow workman: '-If anything
happens to ine take care of my
family." McKee promised that he
would, and Little went away, lie
was lost in the Johnstown flood. A
wife and eight children were
left without support, and McKee
set about redeeming his promise.
He sent out more than a thousand
letters to relatives near and dis-tant,
and to friends of the family,
and nearly all responded with
small sums of money. The amount
collected was $5,620.
Mr. McKee has purchased a
house with part of the money,
wliich has been deeded to Mrs. Lit
tie, and the rest has been placed to
her credit in a bank. Two of the
children have been provided with
