AN ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE AND BRUTAL As
sAULT.-Last Sunday evening young lady was
passing along Washington street, below
Nipples lane In Manayunk, when a man by
the name Of William Welch sprang out from
behind some bushes where he lay hid, caught
hold OF her and knocked her down, and made
every attempt to outrage her person: The
young lady cried aloud for help, and to stop her
Welch beat her about the body and on the head,
and it is alleged struck her in the face, making
an ugly-looking wound.
The young lady fought with energy, and kept
her assailant at bay until footsteps being
plainly heard, and coming fast, made the
criminal desist and run away TO escape detec-
tiop; but he jumped from the frying-pan into
the fire. For officer Orth, seeing the unusual
manner in which he was coming along, laid
hands upon him. On returning with him to
the place from whence the cries were heard, no
one was to be seen, and Welch was then let go.
The next morniug the lady appeared and
made complaint and the description she gave
perfectly coincided with the person Omcer Orth
had arrested. Information was given Othcer
White, who went to Montgomery county, where
he arrested the individual After hearing, AL
derman Ramsdale held Welch to appear at
Court in default of $500 bail.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS TO BE Prevented
Some weeks ago, THE EVENING TELEGRAPH
published the Act of Assembly incorporating
the pennsylvania Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals" with o sketch of the
proposed plan of operations of that institution,
at The same time pointing out the necessity
which had called It into being. All the pre-
nminary legislation having been granted, it
only remains for the Society TO effect an organi-
zation and commence operations under the
ample powers conferred upon its members.
Among the incorporators are included many of
the best known and most influential gentle
men in the community, and If a half-dozen of
Them will but take the matter earnestly in
hand, 1t cannot fail to become great success,
and TO bring about n much needed reform,
To prepare the way for a permanent organiza-
ton, meeting of the gentlemen named in the
Act of Assembly will be held on Monday next,
May g. at O'Clock p. M, In the Board Of Trade
Rooms, at No. sos Chestnut street. Mayor
McMichael will preside, and the meeting will be
addressed by several gentlemen interested in
the measure. Among these will be Henry
Bergh, Esq, the President of the New York
Society, who will give an interesting account of
his eX Experience in the prevention of cruelty TO
the brute creation in New York and other cities.
1t is desirable that not only those named as
incorporators should attend, but as well all who
desire To see some restraint thrown about the
conduct of the unteeling men who appear to
glory in the misery Of dumb brutes.

on the Sth Of December The queen OF

and her son and daughter, set out from
Madrid on q visit 90 the king and queen
Of Portugal The visitu of the royal family
OF Spain 20 their royal neighb0rs at Lis
bon, says a foreign journal, is an unpre-
cedenied event, and one which, in the
present state OF affairs in Uie peninsula,
Is calculated To arrest attention. The
Spanish court is aware That the rev0lu-
ton which appears % be impending in
Spain VIII probably, if successful,

sire being widely spread among
The Spanish liberals for unfit
cation " Of the peninsula under The house
or Bragauza Tie house Of Bourbon is
30 be deposed from the throne Of Spain,
and the king Of Portugal is 10 become
king Of the peninsula. Such views un-
euestionahiy find favor among an iDilu-
ential portion of the Spanish people, and
il is doubtless in connection with this
circumstance that the king and queen Of
Portugal are honored with a visit from
their royal neighbors. There is also a
rumOr that the royal visit is meant 10

EHNEaa-sA from aAAa ~ afaAAal ANtAaAs
It appears TO be generally understood
In Washington that the test case, in an
appeal from United States district
Judge Busteed, of Alabama, as 20
whether Alabama is OF is not state in
the union, viii shortly be decided by
the United States supreme court in the
affirmative, and that tbs decision viii
upset the theory that ,aNongress, from
the rebellion and it's consequences,
has the right to reconstruct the
late rebel states as territories. These
questions Will then recIr. in the event Of
such a decision: Has congress any
mower over the late rebel states, or has
moi state the right 10 rebel against the
union 20 20 out when il pleaSes, or come
hack when it pleases? Under an affirm
alive view OF the subject, and with the
prospect Of a decision from the court as
n stands, substantially pronouncing the
var failure, the first duty deYolving
upon congress is a reconstruction Of this

% yours is a singular case, yet think is

it OF a little story. A c0lored man, with
"a leaf Of bread and q flask OF whisky sat
down 10 dine 10y the bank Of a clear
stream. In breaking the bread, some of
/ thc crumbs fell into the water. These were
cagerIv seized and eaten by the fish. That
circumstance suggested % the darkey the
idea OF dipping the bread I'm the whiskey
and feeding it % them. He tried it. 1t
worked well. Some Of the fish ate Of it,
I became drunk, and floated heiplessly on
/ the water IN this way he easily caught
! a great number. But in the stream was
/ a large fish, very unlike the rest. ltpar-
/ took freely of the bread and whiskey,
without any perccptible effect. lt was
| shy Of every effort of the darkey to
/ take it.
He resolved to have it at all hazards,
| chat he might learn it's name and nature.
/ lie procured a net, and after much effort
I caught &C., carried it 10 a cOlgred neighbOr,
and asked bis opinion of the matter.
! The other surveyed the wonder mo-
meut. and then said: 'SambO, 1 under
/ stand dis case. Dat fish is a muiiet-
! head. Il hain't got any brains " In
other words, added the Judge alcohol
only affects the brain, and, Of course
those having none, may drink without
injury"

THE EIeHr-HoUR SYSTEM.

The Legislature of Illinois adopted the
eight hour system, in terms, during
Its recent session, but we incline to
think that the law is so limited in its opera,
ton, that it will produce but little change in
The general custom.
The law takes effect the FIRST of May, and il
"a follows:
SEC, /. BE il enacted BY the People Of the Stat.
Of Hinois, Represented in the General AssemJlg
That on and after the first day Of May. A. d. 1857

supplements, and other cases Of labor and service
by the day, except in farm employments, shall

10 no special contract or agreement to the con
trary.

any way affect labor service by the year, month
