Intellectual Heroism Of BOY Before
Bloodthirsty parish General.
An instance of heroism, and OF the
most atrocious acts OF cruelty, the
truth OF which is vouched for by the
most respectable authority, occurred
during the Columbia struggle for in
dependence.
The Spanish General Morillo, the
most bloodthrsty and treacherous
tool OF the Spanish king, was created
Count OF Carthagenia and Marquis de
la Pueria for services which rather en-
title him to the butcher or hangmau.
While seated in his tent one day he
saw young boy before him drowned
in tears The chief demanded OF him
for what purpose he was there.
The child replied that he had come
to beg the lie OF his father, then q
prisoner in Morillo's camp.
"What can you do to save your
father?' asked the general.

Morilo seized the little fellow ears,
and said:
"Wouid you suffer your ear to be
taken Off to procure your fathers
life?"
81 certainly would" was the I'M
daunted reply.
A soldier was accordingly called, and
ordered to cut off the ear with a single
; stroke OF the knife.
The boy wept, but did not resist
while the barbarous order was exc
cuted.
"Would you lose your other ear
rather than fail OF your purpose?"
was the next question.
81 have suffered much, but for my
father can suffer more still, was the
answer OF the boy.
The other ear was taken off piece
meal, without tlinching on the part OF
the noble boy.
"And now CO." exclaimed Morillo,
untouched by his sublime courage:

THE WITCHCRAFT INSANITY
1t Lasted Century and Had 100
900 Victims in Germany.

1t Lasted Century and Had lOO-
900 Victims in Germany.
We have been accustomed to hear
constant cutlery about the persecution
for witchcraft in America, as though,
in point OF severity and superstition,
we stood out far beyond the European
nations OF the same age; but so little
truth is there in that supposition, as
the following extract from the "Poets
and Poetry OF Germany will prove
that in the century just preceding
that in which the people OF New Eng
land executed forty for the fictitious
crime OF witchcraft, in Germany more
than 100, 900, most OF them women,
were cruelty put to death for the same
imaginary offence.
"In the course OF the century during
which this fearful persecution was at
it's heigh, in Germany-from 1880 to
16SO-it is calculated that more than
100000 individuals, most OF whom
we're women, were it's victims. TO the
| honor of humanity, be it said, some
voices were raised against this blood
thirsty practice, but they were drowned
in the general clamor. In every part
OF Germany, Protestant or Catholic,
the same atrocities We're committed.
At length in the year 1851, the noble
hearted Count Frederick Stein, him

have brought. Koch, although forced to reveal
