I will state to you a few cases of the abuse of the slaves, but time would fail, if I had language to tell how many and great are the inflictions of slavery, even in its mildest form. Benjamin James Harris, a wealthy tobacconist of Richmond, Virginia, whipped a slave girl fifteen years old to death.

It was the first time Creede had heard his partner use even the mildest of the range expletives, for in that particular he was still a tenderfoot, and the word suddenly conveyed to him the depths of the little man's abandonment and despair. "Why what was the matter?" he inquired sympathetically. "Couldn't you git no appointment?" "Huh!" growled Hardy. "I guess you know, all right.

I felt that it would be folly to apply at the Tiltmans', for Jack Tiltman is the mildest man in seven States, and he is descended from a line of Quakers religiously opposed to war and strife.

"You don't need to say nothing, Jess," he said in his mildest tone. "You don't need to, sure. Whatever you are, you're all the world to me jest all."

Professor Beeton Trachs, the globe-trotting lecturer, who arrived via the "M. and M." for an eight o'clock appearance, at 9.54, gave the "Clarion" an interview proper to the occasion of having to abjure a $200 guaranty, wherein the mildest and most judicial opinion expressed by Professor Trachs was that crawling through a tropical jungle on all fours was speed, and being hurtled down a mountain on the bosom of a landslide, comfort, compared to travel on the "Mid and Mud."

It may be that, if Missouri had been a free State, we might have made our home there, but slavery, even as exhibited here in its mildest form, was an insuperable objection, and when my husband, having faithfully discharged his trust, felt that his sister's affairs were in such a state that she no longer required his aid, we bade farewell to our beloved relatives, to our dear friend Richard Garnett and others, and returned to Michigan, which had been our first home after leaving the army.

I believe that there must be internecine war between the people's church i.e., the future development of Catholic Christianity, and Calvinism even in its mildest form, whether in the Establishment or out of it and I have counted the cost and will give every party its slap in their turn. But I will alter, as far as I can, all you dislike." August, 1850.

If you find it necessary to give your son or daughter an aperient, the mildest should be selected, for instance, an agreeable and effectual one, is an electuary composed of the following ingredients

"Now, then, you lamp-post, w'ere are you a-goin' to?" "Wot asylum 'ave you escaped from?" were among the mildest remarks with which he was greeted. But Aspel heeded them not. The vendors of penny marvels failed to attract him.

Meanwhile, there was something which very much frightened the many people who surrounded them about attacking our small group, and it frightens them no less today. The study of the stars, in which Westerners have only the mildest interest, is known to burn more brightly, because of its steady use and constant study, among the Easterners, where it had its origin.
