A rich Spaniard named Fresnada at Havana,
Cuba, has lately been sentenced to thirty years
hard labor in the chain gang. and to settle an
annuity Of $1,000 per year upon n young man
whose eyes he had hired a negro to put out with
vitriol. This diabclicai outrage was committed

with whom he was in love, and whose possession
the Spaniard himself coveted.
ELEVEN YEARS A SLAvE.--We mentioned in
the last Record that James Henry. n colored man
born in West Chester, had been kidnapped, sold
as "A slave, and remained in bondage, in Virginia,
until ne made his escape-a period of ii years.
Since our publication Henry called at our Office,
and detailed IL considerable portion cf his expe-
rience. lie is a light complexioned negro and
his father being a preacher, he was taught to read
and write. lie has q good address, and is fluent
of tongue. In 1888, at ten years of age, he entered
the United States Navy, where he remained eight
or ten years, and was discharged as a first class
seaman, with a medal for good conduct. After
being on shore for some time. he engaged as a
seaman on board a vessel bound for the West
Indies. The captain of this vessel, having sailed,
anchored on the coast of Virginia, took him ashore
in boat, and telling him he would shortly be
back, pushed off to the ship. and left him on
shore. The captain did not return, and Henry
soon found thar he was claimed and treated as a
slave he was knocked down and ironed, and, in
company with various other negroes. was marched
TO the South ard sold. They travelled during
night, from station to station. being in the day
time confined in strong slayepens. He everywhere
protested his freedom, but it received no attention;
no man was found willing to befriend him. and he
was doomed to bondage for years and years, until
he could find the means OF escape! How shall
this man Henry obtain redress from those who
have enslaved him, beat and mauled him, and in
suited the majesty of Pennsylvania, which was
bound to protect him or avenge his wrongs ?
