THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

CRUELTY TO A SLAVE AT ST. LouIs.-On sat
urday evening last, about eigh, o'clock, %ofhccr
Quigley, arrested. on tho levee, between Locust
and Olive streets, a naked negro girl, about
twenty years Of age. Her appearance gave evi'
dence that shG had been badly beaten. Her back
was covered with fresh and bloody stripes, into
which salt and -four had been sprinkled to dry
them up and prevent suppuratiop. The othcer
TOOK her TO the police Office, where she was furn.
ished with an cid blanket to cover her nakedness
and wounds. She belonged to Mrs. j., Peters,
living on Sixth street between franklin avenue
and Wash street. She said she had been terribly
whipped. and that she was trying to escape from
her cruel mistress.-H. Louis Democrat.
SENATOR DoUGLAs A LOUISIANA PLASTER.-The
Baton Rouge Gazette says that Mr.. Douglas enter,
ed into a planting partnership with a gentleman OF
Baton Rouge, and that the negroes from his Mis-
slssippi plrntation, recently sold, are to be trans
ferrcd to that State.
TnE REVOLUTION IL Mrxtco.-The capital
of Mexico was barricaded, Sunday, Jan. II and
in arms the blood of citizens has already been
shed therein and n universal civil war seems
now to impend upon this distracted and unhappy
country.
This movement at the capital was as sudden
and unex pected, as it was violedt.
MILE, RAcHEL's EscAPE.--Mlle Rachel had a
narrow escape of being buried alive, Eleven
hours after the telegram reached Paris OF her
death she was still breathing. The operator who
came to embalm, first felt the carotid artery aud
was startled to find pulsation. The truth was
known at one, and she only died in the evening.
DUE NoTIcE GivEN.-The Washington Union
gives due notice "to every Democrat, north and
south, in and out of Congress, in the Union" that
each and all must support the admission of Kansas
under the Lecompton constitution, or to be counted

TuE WHEAT CRoP.-It is stated that the grow.
ing wheat in Virginia never presented a more
encouraging prospect at this season Of the year
than of present.
THE VENICE OF THE NoRrH.-The Swedes are
proud of Stockholm, and justly SO. No European
capital, except Constantinople, can boast of such
picturesque beauty OF position, and none whatever
affords SO great a range OF shifting, yet ever love-.
ly aspects. Travellers are fond of calling il, in
the initiative nomenclature Of common place, 1.-THE
Venice of the North"-but it is no Venice. 1t is
not that swan of the Adriatic, singing her death
song in the purple sunset, but q Northern eaglet,
nestled on the. islands and rocky shores of the pale
green Malar Lake. As q people, the Swedes are
very hospitab!o, and particularly so towards for
eigners. There is, perhaps no country in Europe
where travellers are treated with so much kind
ness, and allowed so many social privileges
This is Fortunate, as the couvontionalities of the
country are moro rigid than the laws of the
Modes and the Persians. Nothing excites greater
scandal than an infraction of the numberless little
formalities with which the descend ants of the
honest, spontaneous. imrulsive old Scandinavians
fave somehow or other allowed themselves to be
fettcred. Stockholm manners, at present, are a
curious mixture of English and French, the latter
element ot course being predominant. In cos
tune the gentlemen are English, with e~xasgera-
ton. Nowhere gre to be seen such enormously
tall and stiff black chimney pots lmisnamed hats
nowhere such straightcut over'coats, descending
to the very heels. You l2ight stick all the men
you see into pasteboard cards. like a row of pins.
so precisely are they clothed upon the same
model.
