both is a Hung trian by birth, and Is the
brother of the noted General Ashota, Of
Hungarian revolutionary fame. He him
self held the rank of Colonel in the same
army, and IL somewhat noted as talent
ed cavalry officer. He visited this eeGn-
try with kossuth, and doubtless finding
more liberty here than IN bis own country,
determined to stay, and resided for some
time in New York. When Gen. Fremont
was appointed to the department of the
West he took Asboth with him, giving him
title Of Brigadier Geasral without having
received the authority so to do, and max"
ing him chief of his staff. When denersi
Fremont took the field, Gen. Asboth wss
placed In command Of . division as an
acting ma ajor general; bat when Fremont
vas recalled Gen. Asbotb was also remoy+
ed, bis division being placed under the
command Of bis present eompanion-in-

The unanyiabla reputation Of having
heeu the mother Of American wltchsFaft
has hitherto been enjoyea BY Salem. But
Mr.. Hopkins, in recent letter before the
Mes York Historical Society, has shown
tbs to be an error. The frst legal en-
actnent on the subject of witehcraft in
this country appears e hare been made IN
the Maryland assembly la A835, which
adopted the English statutes GA she sab
jecs. In 1889, Maryland directly provid-
cd for sspnaishing 9ith death, aoreery,
blaspaemy and idolAsxy." IA ls4l, Mac
saehusetts laws were promulgated, pro-
wiling that witohcEafs shoaid be punished
with death. Rhode Island followed salt
in lG4T; New JsEsey about that time; Del
aware 10 loo; Saath Carolina 10 lIl2
ress oEed the statute af dams$ the First,
aud Pennsylvania soon after. The laws
OF South Caroline On the subject remain
"a on The statute book anil 1881. Dela-
aware adopted the statute OF James the
First ia 11l9. Connecticut had from
l64T to 1897, twsnty-one trials for witch
craft, although b large quantity OF State
archives, containing the authentic details,
are destroyed. Massachusetts, panished
witehcraft in l648. An ae9cdote was told
Of one John BradsSreef, who pleaded gull
ty, bat the court knew him TO be SO noto-
rious a liar that ha vas acquitted. In
connection with the Salem witchcrafts it
should be Remembered that IN Geneva there
we're FIVE hundred witches consumed By
the flames within three month thai four
teen heasas in England furnished feurteea
| victims to the hames, and that the Salem
horrors have been much exaggerated. Up
! 10 iGi5 there il no trace of ans ia~ IA
New York as TO wiseberaft, and when II
did appear il vas eonfnsd ~ the English
settlement on Long Island, The indians
said the Devil would have nothing TO do
with the Dntah. In 1872 Sarah Dibble
was accused of witeheraft in New Jersey
| bat led to Connecticut In 1858 VIM.
| Penn presided over q court where q wo-
man was tried and acquitted on charge
of wischcraft. Virginia bad like trial
| in / l705, and North Carolina in 1879 aud
t1Tll. Altogether there were four htdn-
ired and sixty accusations OF witcheraft
| IN tie colonies, thirty-two executions, and
three moro who were condemned but es
capped. New York alone, and perhaps
New Hampshire, neser condemned witch
or passed law on the snbject. The form
In whiah the delusion existed ia the Amer
| fcau Colonies was mild in comparison
with the horrible tortures, cruelties, and
basbarities which characterized the for.
eigu punishment OF witcbcraff.

ABOLITION FEELrsG-The Freeport Bal
Ietin says: ''When the news of our grand
victory at Fsrs DoBelson reached cur city,
an AboIisionist asked, "How many slaves

of our brave soldiers were killed in the
Conflict. His only tloughtwas how many
