? . Inhuman Torture of Negroes.
General Howard has received voluminous
eports concerning the cruelties practised by
Mrs. Henry Abrahams, of , King. Williams
xmnty Virginia, upon her. servants. '. The
matter came to iight through the investiga
tion set: on foot about a month ago. The
reports show that on the second of June a
.reed girl, named Mart ha" Anne, aged 17,
ffaa. brought to a hosuital at IlichuionJ.
I'he Burgeon states that there were upon her
ody seven ulcer, all the results of burns
tnd all produced within two or three weeks.
The largest was nearly two inches in diame-ten:--In-
addition to these her entire body
was almost covered with scars, some old and
ome covered with recent scales, some the
esult of burns, and some tue result of whip
ing. She had been so abused that she was
tearcely able to give expression to an intel
igent idea.' The investigation made befori
the ..Judge, Advocate at llichmond proved
hat this monster, Mrs. Abrahams, whom
'ialf the lawyers of the city volunteered to
lefend, has within the last few years been
, he cause of the death of four of her negro
ervants. An extract from the report is
subjoined : - v
"Lucy llichardson, mother of the trirl ta
ken to the hospital, has been made blind of
one eye and has been scarred in tue throat
with a hot iron. r Five of the children of
said Lucy Kichardson, named Martha Anno
and -Mary Ellen, twins, aged sixteen,
(ieorjre, aged nine, Francis, aged eleven,
and Robert, aged seven and a half years,
have ou maay different occasions each of
theui been placed in a nude s'ale before the
tire until their backs were actually broiled,
and then whipped with a birch rod on the
back until it was raw, when strong salt and
pepper water was rubbed on and they were
whipped again. . Francis died in February,
18it, from injuries received at the hands of
said Mrs. Abrahams by being stamped up
on. The children, while being tortured,
had their feet and hands bound, and were
bucked to keep them from struggling or re
sisting. The house would be closed while
they were being burned aud whipped, but
then thair cries would be heard for i long
way. They would often faint away, and
Mrs. Ara'aams would continue , to strike
them with a poker, saying, "You're dead,
are you ' I'll make you catch your breath."
After the punishment tbey could not lie nor
sit down, and had to stand up a number of
consecutive, days and nights. Before the
children recovered from their injuries Mrs.
Abrahams would sear them with hot coals,
or with a hot iron.1 She never had a ser
vant '. without scars from her hands, . and
never did a Jay pass that some servant did
not receive torture.
: "Sarah Dandridge, milkmaid, was told to
get all the milk she could in time for a dan
cing party, and because she did not answer
soon enough 'Mrs. Abrahams tortured her
to such au extent that she drowned herself
in the creek.
"Eliza Hill was beat over the head with
au iron poker, and pieces of flesh were cut
from her head and face with a knife, by
Mr ft Abrahams, until she became blind in
both eye. She afterwards died from these
injuries."'
The evidence fully establishes numerous
instances of assault with intent to wound,
maim, disfigure, disable, or kill. Much of
this cruely has bei-n practiced since the fall
of Richmond. Burning on the bare back
with live coals of fire ecrus to have "been a
common punishment. Whipping was done
with clubs, tongs,' pokers, tire-shovels, Sea.
Mary and Frances wore twiee taken to a
poud and half drowned. .
Coffee, Still Nearer Perfection.
Messrs. Editors : I feel rather difSdent
ia writing on the' subject of coffee-making,
after the subject has been so ably handled
by Professor Seely ; yet I may possibly ob
tain a hearing in the matter, without being
deemed intrusive, when I state that years
ago, after many experiments, I succeeded
iu obtaining the most perfectly delicious cof
fee ever belore tasted by myself or friends,
it retaining its arouia in an eminent degree,
and, at the same time,' possessing all the
strength of extractive matter desirable.
This method ot making coffee I subsequent
ly published iu the Household Journal, in
its column ot recipes.
I claim, and believe, that I was the first
to discover and make coffee in the-manner
lam about to describe, which, although
somewhat similar to the method pursued
by Professor Seely, is, I think, more easily
practiced by all persons desiring to do so.
Take, say a teacupful of trohly-ground
coffee, one-half of which is to be put in a
coffee pot, placed on a stove, and a sufficient
quantity of warm (not boiling) water pour
ed thereon, when it should be allow to boil
about five minute's, and then placed on the
back of the stove lor a few seconds.
l The other half of the coffee may be put
into a r itcher with a metalic cover, or a cof
fee not used on the tabb only, and the li
quid portion of the coffee which has been
boiled poured therein, when, as the old la
dies sayv it draws in a similar manner to tea.
' I thus without any alteration of the form
of the coffee pot, or the addition of strain
ers, really obtain all that is obtainable, of
both the arouia aud healthful extractive
matter of the coffee used ; at least by the
use of ordiuary culinary utensils.,.
The coffee which was in the pitcher, or
table coffee pot, is either left therein, or at
;dnce placed in the cooking not, where it is
boiled the next morning, and half a teacup-
. ful agaiu put into the table coffee pot, which
is treated in like manner, thus proceeding
in regular routine; In very, warm weather
. however, the coffee thus saved to be boiled
should be kept in a cool place, as a few
hours in a warm atmosphere is sufficient to
cause the inception of fermentation, which
gives an unpleasant tasting to the next
morning's brewing. ,
I may remark, in conclusion, that no cof
fee should be used that has been roasted
more than forty-eight hours before ; ancL in
lfa cffee just roasted, but allowed to get
cold before grinding, is always the best-
, which is the method pursued in Cuba? where
- taey Wake a very delicious eoffee from infe-
. nor berries. -
