BRUTAL TREATMENT OF CIIILDREX. John D. Graff and his wife Mary Graff, were arrested in Baltimore on Monday last, bj Deputy. Sheriff Wm. Hindes, on bench warrants, charged with unheard of brutality to three of his deceased brother's children. Wm A. Graff, Walter Graff, nd Ann E. Hraff, aged from seven to ten .years. The facts, says the Clipper, as ad duced before the Orphans Court, show an unparalleled heartlesshess and absence of every trait entitling the accused to classi fication among human beings. Graff and . his wife live at the corner of Baltimore and Eden streets, and upon the death ( of his brother, in California the children were placed under his guardianship. The fa ther left them some njine hundred dollars, which he received and retained for their board and clothing. ; After they came under his care he locked them up in a third story room, where they were denied the pleasure of seeing day-light except through the lat tice work of the window shutters, and fed upon scanty morsels of dry bread and wa ter. To prove that thjey scarcely received L - 1 .1 i I " . I f enougu iu Keep mem anve, me gin was a short time since taken from them by an other relative, and upon food being; given her she sickened at it. ' Her stomach was weak frcrn not having received aufficieni nutriment, and it was some time j before she could retain the holesome diet given her. ; ' ;.;- j On Sunday afternoon last, the boj-s, by an oversight in neglecting to lock them ., t were enabled to reachfa second story win dow unnoticed. They here saw some children upon the sidewalk eating bre.nl and butter, and from h nger ran to the street and begsed it of them. After swal lowing with, avidity that which the chil dren gave them, their attention was at tracted to a vessel containing garbage lying by the gutter's side. They overhauled and commenced eating iti contents ravenous ly, when they were fortunately noticed by the nt ighbors, who yesterday lodged com plaint, and had Graff and his wife arrested. The children brought linto court presented ' a horrid spectacle, 'ijhy were mere skel etons, barefooted, and jthe rags upon their backs were tied tafgether with pieces of rope to hide their nakedness. Amongst all the orphans and jbeggars throughout this community, none presented such a forsaken-appearance as they. After hearing the case the children' were placed in: the custody of others, and the State's Attorney required Graff to give j$ 1.500 and his wife 500 bail for their appearance at court to answer, and it is to.be hoped that they may be made to suffer for their demon hearted jiess. i WONDERFUL ESCAPE FROM A FURIOUS " - EUtL. I r In the town of: BHcVewater lastiweek Brace Hall, a little sob of Deacon Hall, o that place, was grievously gored by a bull and almost miraculously escaped with his Jife. The bull was a fine young animal whom the lad- -only fcoihe ni:se years old bad been in the tiabit of driving, j and it had never manifested (any considerable vi- ciou?ues3. But boys! who had a bathing .place in the brook thut runs through its pasture, had worried it by shaking their -clothes at it, and thus getting up the ex citement of a chase. On Monday of last week, lujle Brace wag passing carelessly through the field whre there were some forty animals with the bull among them, when it suddenly set upon him and tossed xnra repeatedly upon its horns. ! : A faithful dog which accompanied the boy attacked the bull, and caught upon its .neck with firm teeth. The bellowing and wild running about of the other cattle in The field, made up an exciting scene.! For 4ibout eight rods the bull tossed the boy, leartnghis clothes completely off from him ; -and the bov all the time endeavoring to r each a fence so as to escape. . . ' He had already touched the boards, -when the bull again tossed him, and his head struck against the fence, tearing the -scalp horribly. But foitunately the horns of the animal had wrenched one of the boards off. and the victim still self Dossess- -ed, escaped through the opening so oppor tunely made, into an adjacent lane. ; The bull seemed more 'intensely maddened at this escape, and with almost human sagac ity turned down toward an opening into the lane some distance off But the boy had meantime climbed over another fence, and was beyond the mad beast's reach." Completely exhausted he could do no more ; the faithful dog who had vainly en deavored to restrain the beast, hastened to she boy's father, and by moans attracted Jiis attention, and led him to the presence of his wounded son ; he lay bleeding, nak ed, yet alive. He was taken home and cared for, and we understand there is cve y reason to believe he will recover from iis injuries. The self-possession . of the boy alone saved his life, and with the fidelity of the Jog deserves to be recorded. The bull was ienced in and shot.; Ulica(N". Y.) Herald. THE INITIAL QUESTION. The newspapers being somewhat exercj ed on the initiality (if we may coin a word) of the approaching Presidential con--les we beg that they will wait patiently till November, when the mystery will be fully initiated. For example, the friends of the "double B" ticket, (Buchanan and Breckinridge,) on asking information as to the state of the polls, as the lightning flash es the result from various portions of the country, will discover that their chances are "B-etter and B etter." The "double F" men pVemontand Fillmore) will find their votes have been "F-ew and F-ar between." And the friends of ihe "double DV (Day ton and Donelson) will receive the melan choly intelligence that their candidates are D-jing and D-ead !" HEAVY ROBBERY. .The house of Mr. John Bemgruder, No. 7, New Market street, Philadelphia, was ntered Friday , night: last, -and robbed of $920 in forty-six twenty dollar gold pieces. KISSING A QUEEN. There is now on exhibition in our print shops an excellent picture of Frank lin at the Court ot France : noi. Howev er, critically true to history, if memory serves me right. Iu this print Frank lin stands, as he ought to, in the fore ground, he beine the soul of the sur jt ct ; his plain attire contrasts well with a brilfant court, embroidered from head to foot, and bedizened with diamonds and hair powder. Franklin, I under stand, was dressed in second-rate home spun, yarn stockings, substantial shoes, and his hair of its native all concious of any inferiority, howev er, but with that self-possession which is the distinguishing trait of well-bred people everywhere. His native digm ty was his sole decoration. As a stran ger, he must have observed the common practice in France, of kissing, even i the streets, "and" other places, whsn friends meet, after a long or short ab sence,- without regard to sex. This kissing, however, is no more than our snaking hands, and is performed by ap plying one cheek to another once, twice, or more, according to the intima cy and feelings. It may be called cheek-bv-jowling. Franklin may not have observed minutely the modus of this practice, but have thought that a kiss was a kis : or not thought at all about it. It is said that he was reminded by one of the dignitaries of the court, that when he was presented he must kiss tin Queen, who. it was also said, was a very kissable woman. The Q,ueen approached familiarly and very near -probably impelled bv curiosity to see well this handsome savage. Franklin remembering his lessonwithout reluc tance put it in practice, in the only way he had ever been taught to kiss, and gave the Queen a mighty Yankee buss on the hps, to the great amazement and horrificatiou of the old maids, but to the great amusement of all others espe cially the King, who was delighted with this savage simplicity ; : and it is said that he cried out Encore Bis, Da cappo" or Do it again." How many more things were said or done, it is not my business now to relate or vouch lor Therefore I only object to the print for iot being truly historical, and especially for not having chosen one ol the most remarkable of Franklin's court feats Some of the wags of Paris had not the most implicit faith in Franklin's sim plicity, and said that he knew more than he pretended to. Cor. Boston Transcript, A friend of ours, who resides in North Pearl street, went a fishing the other day, and among other things that he hauled in, was a large sized turtle. I o enjoy the surprise of his servant girl, he placed it in her bedroom. The next morning the first thing that bounc ed into the breakfast room was Biddy, with the exclamation of 'Be jabers, I've got the divil, W hat devil, exclaimed the head of the house, feigning surprise. ' I he bnhb3dbug that has been atemg the children for the last month.' " As this is anew name for the domesticated assassin, we thought we would let it out, Bullbedbug is good. - Knickerbocker. PALACE DISCO VERRD UNDER GROUND. ; 'I he remains of a magnificent palace have been discovered under a garden in the Isle of Capri. It must not only have been splendid in structure, but in situation, com manding a view of the bay of Palermo and iNaples. Marble of various colors were used in its construction, and all its apartments, so far as the excavations have proceeded, j are of tha most spacious and elegant char acter. The doorway is twelve feet wide, and of white marble, and the rooms are pav ed in mosaic, while the walls are painted red, blue, yellow, &c Several coins of the reign ot Augustus and lyberias have been found, some of them disclosing the curious I tact that the coins cf one reign were at times tecoined in another. MAN AND TEAM ATTACKED BY BEES. Mr. S. Hooper, residing near McKissack's Grove, Iowa, while driving bis team, was attacked by bees. - I bey made the attack apparently in three distinct strings, about the size of man's arm, first attacking the horses. One horse, in endeavoring to ex tricate himself, broke a blood vessel and lied shortly after ; the other is severely in jured, lhey next attacked air. Hoope, and those who came to his assistance. Everything was done that could be to ex tricate the unfortunate man, but not until Mr. Hooper and Mr. Slusher were so severe ly injured, that but little hope of their re-; cbvery is entertained. The symptoms and sufferings of the unfortunate men resemble those of hydrophobia. AN IRISHMAN'S IDEA OF AMERICA. A good definition of an Irishman's idea of America is contained in the folio win extract from "The Fatrv Circle" a tale of John Brougham's Irish Echoes. "Where did 'baccy come from Corney?" inquired alary. wny, from' Menkv: where else?" he replied, "that sent us - the first pkaty.- Long life to it. for both, sav IP' "What sort of a place is that I wonder?"

The St. Louis Republican publishes some statistics of the total number of in quests held by the coroner of that city for the past two years. Peruse the figures, and consider for a moment what, an epic they narrate in. little: The total number of inquests held, was upon the view of the bodies of 477 persons. The cause of their death, as classified by the verdict of the ju- ries, as follows : By drowning, 184 ; from intemperance and exposure, 66; by acci dent, 59 ; murdered, 54 males and 1 1 fe males; from causes unknown 40 ; by sui cide, 26 ; by sun stroke, 19 ; congestion of the brain, 13; infanticide, 8 ; suffocation and burning, 6. Of the drowned cases, the bodies of one hundred and six were nevef recognized.' : ' A COLORE D FULTON. The Annapolis Republican says there is an extraordinary genius in that city, in the person of a jounce colored roan, named Ben, a slave oj 4olu -HHunond, l!aq., me ployed in the laboratory at the IN aval A- cademy, who has recently planned and quilt a small steamboat, and on Wednes day last made a trial trip to the great sat isfaction of Capt. Goldsborough and others, who witnessed the working of the engine. He came into the dock from the Academy. with six passengers, at the rate of seven miles an hour, much to the surprise and de light of a number of citizens. A SINGULAR CASE. The Dublin (Ireland) Medical Express details a case which confirms the opinion that the toad can eject a venomous fluid from its mouth. A boy, aged six years, while throwing stones at a large toad, lelt something spir ted into his eye. He was soon after attack ed with spasmodic pain in the ere. then with coma; at times he would try to bite everything near him ; at times he was in a state of madness, the tenth day the only symptoms were stupor and inability to speak, a condition which has lasted for two years. , , v POLITICAL PREACHING. A pious young lady from the South, who attended church last Sabbath "morning near the Bangor House, was asked on her return how she liked the sermon. She re plied that she felt as though5 she had been to" a Founh-of-July celebration. Bangor (Hie ) Journal. Pliny says that bleaching by means of sulphur was employed as early as the first century. Apuleius tells a story of a gal lant, who, by taking refuge under a wick et coop where cloth was hung to whiten by this- process, came near ted. being suffoca- THE NORTH CAROLINA MUTUAL LlFELNSUBMCECOHP'i, KALEluff , N.
