THEN AND Now.-William and Ellen
Graft, who it will be remembered some
twenty years since were united in marr-
age in Boston, by Theodore Parker, when
the slavehounds were on their track-the
Rev. gentleman at the same time present
ing him with Bible and revolver-have
returned to Boston, and are to have a for
NAL reception in "A few days They have
been residing in England since their escape
from Boston, but now the patriarchal in
stitution has passed away, and there being
NJ longer any fugitive slave laws for their
return to bondage, or slavehounds to track
them, nor Judge Cuitises to remand them
to slavery, they have returned to their ma
tive land. AT a public meeting in Boston
last week, where Mr.. Cardoza, the coored
Secretary of State of South Carolina, gave
an account of affairs in that State, William
aud Ellen Craft were present and address
ed the meeting. To him ii must have pre-
sented a strange contrast to the time when
slave power was SO predominant that safe
ty compelled him TO seek an asylum in
England to escape from its minions. even
Boston, the home of freedom, offering him
no shelter from their power. He still ear
ries with him the Bible and the revolver
Mr.. Parker gave him, but for the latter he
has no longer any use, except as a mcmeu-

The ToMn or ADAM.-rho following
touching passage is from Mark Twain's
Travels in the Holy Land;
The tomb of Adam! How touching it
was, here in the land of strangers, far
away from home, and friends, and all who
cared for me, thus to discover the grave Of
a blood relation. True, distant one, but
still relation. The unerring instinct of
nature thrilled its recognition. The foun-
tain of my filial affection was stirred to its
profoundest depths, and l gave way to tn
multuous emotion. | leaned upon pillar
and burst into tears. deem it no shame
to have wept over the grave of my poor
dead relative. Let him who would sneer
at my emotion close this volume here, for
he will fiud little TO his taste in my jour
neyings through the Holy Land. Noble
old mamie did not live to see niche did
not live to see his child. And I-I-alas,
did not live TO see him. Weighed down
by sorrow and disappointment, he died be-
fore was born-six thousand brief sum
mers before was born. But let MS try to
bear il with fOrtitude. Lot us trust that he
is better of, where he is.

the place, and so far as we know his char
acter and experience render him tit per-

The Sutton, New Hampshire, tragedy
is sickening in its details Mrs. Mitchell
states that while she was sitting by An
open fire in the kitchen her husband sud-
denly threw bottle Of kerosene oil into
the flames. An explosion followed, and
Mrs. Mitchell became enveloped in fame.
She ran into an adjoining room, her
burning clothing dropping from her at
every step. At last her husband pro-
tended to assist her, but what he did,.
whether intentional or not, only aggray-
ated his wife's sufferings, for he opened
door, and also took stick and poked
about her clothing, when the flames
reached the poor woman's face and threa-
tened to choke her. He, after much cn.
ort, succeeded in nearly putting out the
fire, and then called the neighbors. One
evening, about week before the event
above related ACQUIRED, Mitchell took bis
youngest child, a babe about three
months old, and under the plea Of en-.
deavoring to stop it from crying, held
it between two rocks in the fireplace,
used instead of andirons, and over tho
flames until one side of its face was hor-
ribly burned, from it's chin to scalp, He
afterward struck the child severe blow
on the other side of its face, choked it
until it was black and blue, and then
gagged it with handkerchief Allthis
was done in the presence of the mother,
who claims that she dared not utter q
word lest he should kill both the child
and herself. -

From the Florida Peninsula
The Escape of Breckifirldge and
BENJAMIN from Dixie.

There are few facts connected with
the escape of General Breckenridge and
Mr.. Benjamin from the confederacy
which are, perhaps, not generally known.
After the surrender of General Lees ar
my both General Breckenridge and Mr..
Benjamin made their way to Florida.
General Breckenridge struck the State
near Monticello, where he found friends
who assisted him in getting to Ma
rion county, from whence he hoped to
find an opportunity to get out of the
country.
General Breckinridge spenta number
of days in hunting and visiting with his
friends in Marion, but knowing that he
could not remain there long his frien ds
procured small metallic boat, in which,
he and his companions, Colonel Wilson
and Captain Wood, and the Generals
faithful servant soon found themselves
ascending the St. Johns river. The par
ty, after much toll, reached New Smyrna
where they found schooner which car
ried them safely to Nassau, N. P. Tho
General was known as Colonel Cabell.
Mr.. Benjamin also struck Florida near
Monticello, where he met friends who
assisted him on to the vicinity of this
place. Here Mr.. Benjamin hope to find,
some way to Cuba or one of the Bahama
islands; but there was strict watch kept
by the United States troops stationed
here, and there were but a few boats left
on the coast. But Mr.. Benjamin finally
procured small boat at Manetoe, up.
on which the ex-Unite ed States Sena-
tor and Confederate States Secretary Of
State embarked as cook and in few days
found himself under the protecting fold
ofthe British flag. Mr.. Benjamin passed
himself off as land hunter named How
ard. There is quite an amusing little
anecdote connected with Mr.. Benjamin

this Il Vicinity but we gefrain from making

A Small POx Remedy.

A correspondent of the Stockton Cal)
Herald writes as follows;
l herewith append recipe, which
has been used to my knowledge in
hundreds of cases. 1t will prevent or
cure the small pox though the pittinge
are filling. When Jenner discovered
COW pox in England, the world of science
hurled an avalanche of fame upon his
head, but when the most scientific school
of medicine in the world-that of Paris
published this recipe as panacea for
small pox, it passed unhceded. 1t is ~
unfailing as fate, and conquers in every
instance. It's harmless when taken by
well person. 1t will also cure scarlet
fever. Here is the recipe as have us
ed it, and cured my children of scarlet
fever; here it is as 1 have used it, to
cure the small pox; when learned ply
sicians said the patient must die, it cured:
Sulphate of zinc, one grain; fox
glove, (digitalis, one grain; half a teas.
poonful of sugar; mix with two tables
poonfuls of water. When thoroughly
mixed, add four ounces of water. Take
a spoonful every hour Either disease
will disappear in twelve hours. For .
child, smaller doses, according to age.
If counties would compel their physic-
ians to use this, there would be no need
of pesthouses. If you value advice and
experience, use this for that terrible dis
ease

CREDENTIALS OF THE VICE PRESIDENT
The committee, after leaving General

him with certificate of his election as

The Late Indian Murder by Gen.
eral Custer,

Colonel J. H. LEAvENwoRTu, agent of
the Kiowa, Apache and Comanche Indi-
ans, was examined by the Senate Com
mittee on Indian Affairs, on the l1th
inst, in regard to the attack on the In
dian camp on tho Washita by General
CUSTER.
Colonel LEAvENwoRTH was within
eighty miles Of Fort Cobb when the fight
occurred. He stated that instead of
fifty three lodges that were attacked, as
reported by General CUSTER, there were
only thirty, and that instead of 300 war
riors having been killed, as reported, only
about fifteen were men, ,while the remain
der rcrc ,comen and children. He said
that the Indians all agreed in the state
ment that Mrs. BLINN, the white captive,
reported by CUSTER as having been killed
by the Indians, was shot by our own SOL
diers; that she had started to run to-
wards the troops when the firing first
begun and received bullet in the right
eye.
That ought to quiet the murderer Of
women and children, also his superiors,
SHERMAN and SHERIDAN, who approved
the dastardly act. Verify, the Indian
War, about which we have heard so
much, is nothing more than rapine and
murder for the benefit of land sharks,
and thieving Indian agents, and the ever
lasting disgrace and infamy of such
shoulder-strap squaw fighters as CUSTER
and his gang.
