INTERESTING TIDINGs FROM MADAGAsCAR.--
The Christian Church has for u long time watch
ed with the deepest interest the progress of
events in the island of Madagascar, where the
Christian religion was planted some years ago.
1t has long been known that the Queen has
evinced the greatest hostility to the converts.
But her only son, the heir to the crown, is a
Christian. The latest news from the Island is
that The Prince had heard rumor among the
people that he was not the son of the late King,
and that on his mothers death he was to be
killed, and the crown to be conferred upon his
young cousin, who is also an adopted son OF
the Queen. He traced the rumor to two of his
aunts, the Queens sisters. one of whom is the
mother of the younger Prince, and to two Off
GERS. The Prince informed the Queen of the
plot, and she had her sisters and the officers
put to death by poison.
Then she took two silver gobets and placed
jewel in one and in the other some earth from
the late Kings Cher husband's) grave, and seal
ed them up. Summoning the digniarics OF the
kingdom. and bidding the two Princes, her sou
and her adopted son 10 be present in the assem-
bly,, she babe them each to take goblet Her
sou took that which had the earth from his
fathers grave, which, when the goblets had
been opened, was regarded as supernatural
in!imation that he was to be King. The gran
dees of the court greeted him as their future
ruler. His adopted brother acknowledged the
Princes sovereignty, aud the ceremony ended
with great feast.

Freaks of q Maniac.

He ESCAPES FROM LUNATIo ASYLUM, MAR
R1Es R1UH W1Dow, AND BUYS A BLOCK OF
Nas.-About year since gentleman in
the interior of Wisconsin became insane, and
was sent to the Lunatic Asylum at Madison in
that State. He was physician by profession.
and of remarkably prepossessing appearance
He was about thirty years old. Some weeks
ago he escaped from the asylum and went to
Chicago. There he encountered an old friend,
who loaned him quite sum of money, having
no suspicion Of his insanity. With this money
he supplied himself with new and elegant
clothing, and started for Laporte, Indiana, a
thrifty village on the line of the Michigan
Southern Railroad. He remained there long
wealthy widow, and was married to her.
During the brief courtship he exhibited no
indications of lunacy; but shortly ai'ser his
marriage, he commenced conducting himself in
a manner which startled aud shocked his wife
and her friends. Among other mad fancies he
believed he was sheep, and insisted upon
crawling around on bis hands and feet, bleat-
ing in the most absurd manner. He would then
fancy himself rattlesnake, and make frantic
attempts to bite the members of his household
The unhappy lady, at length worn out with
reason, made preparations to send him to the
asylum at indianapolis. But, as is frequently
the case, insanity had sharpened his wits, sand
be adj oitly escaped.
We next hear of him in Syracuse, New York,
where he actually purchased block of build
ings. The necessary papers were made out and
be was to call the next day with the money
he was to pay an outrageous sum for the pro-
perty, and it is said the party with whom he
made the bargain chuckled vastly over the pro-
pitious winds that had blown them so profitable
and fresh subject. But they saw no more of
him. The lunatic started westward. At Buff
falO he bargained for an immense amount of
corn, to be delivered in New York city, and
then proceeded to Cleveland. He arrived here
last week and endeavored to negotiate for some
real estate on Kinsman street, but he talked so
absurdly that the parties with whom he had in
terviews refused to treat with him.
Meanwhile his friends, and particularly his
wife in Wisconsin (for he has wife and two
children in that State) were making every eff
fort to ascertain his whereabouts. They traced
him to Syracuse and from there to this city
His brother arrived here on Saturday morning
last, but found that the lunatic had left on the
previous evenings train for the West. He fol-
lowed on Saturday morning. At Toledo be
learned that he had gone West on the Michigan
Southern train, and he perseveringly continued
the chase. At Adrian he found and captured
him. and took him home.
When not in his rabid fits few would discover
the unfortunate mans true condition. He
would make very absurd propositions, and of.
fer exorbitant sums Of money for property that
hit his fancy, but he would do so in SO candid
and captivating manner as to, in most cases,
disarm suspicion.-C Cleveland Plaindealer.

PLANS FOR THE DISBURSEMENT OF TURKEY,
The Constantinoplc correspondent of the New
York Herald states that the Grand Nizicr of
Turkey, who has lately been making II tour in
the northern provinces of that country, has
found abundant evidences of the intri.uus of
the Russian Government to rouse disorders in
these provinces, especially through the Greco
Russian clergy. The Russian Government has
urged upon the Allied Powers, in connection
with Smyrna atrocities, permission to occupy
with the Cars troops The two provinces Of
Wal!achia and Moldavia, and the soldiers of
these same provinces to occupy Bulgaria. This
denotes mistrust on the part of Russia of the
Anglo-Frcnch entente and the policy of Austria,
and clearly shows that the Gar is not yet I'M
derstood with Louis Napoleon on the subject of
Turkey. The projected ACKNOWLEDGMENT now
spoken of here is to give the two princpalities
above named to Austria Constantinoplc to be
port put under Joint protectorate Russia

or Sarduia-or, perhaps, even the United
States, which, it is generally believed, is "dy-
ing to get an island for their naval forces in
the Archipelago.
Events are fast coming to the dismembcr-
ment Of Turkey. The breath of life cannot be
kept in the sick man," to use Nicholas ex-
preston, much longer There will then be 3

among the great powers of Europe.

PARTICULARS RELATIVE TO THE ILL-FATED
STEAMER CoNNAUGHr-ORIa1N OF THE FIRE Elk
PIA1NED-A reporter of the Boston Post fur
nishes to that paper narrative, from which we
quote.
Ny intention is to show how the ship would
have sunk, even if fire had not broken out,
from the fact that the engineroom, not being
water-tight compartment. and comprising the
greater portion Of the ship, and being entirely
exposed, would contain a larger body of water
than could he got into the whole of the water
tight compartments it is also my intention to
show how the fire originated in the cngine.room.
as also, the imposibility Of getting to the locali-
ty where The FIRE threatened to do the most
damage. tsa..
The engine-room, at the least think, was
about $50 feet in length, from one water-tigbt
compartment to another; and being placed
amidships, was very spacious, because it was
located where the ship had the greatest breadth
Of beam on the either side of the engine-room
were coal bunkers. containing at the time Of
The disaster, but a small quantity of coal at
either end of the engine-room were two boilers,
heated by 20 furnaces; and attached to these
furnaces were two tunnels.
The leak, SO far as can be ascertaincd, origin
ated in the forepart of the cnginc-room, and the
leak having gained upon the pumps, and the
water having risen to such a hight as to ex-
tinguish the fire in the furnaces of the forward
boilers, it became necessary to center the whole
of the steam power on the aft boilers this was
done in order to attain the highest rate of speed
for the purpose, if possible, of saving the
steamer.
In consequence Of thus centcrng the force Of
the steam power at one given point, the super
hcaters-solid iron plates-becamc red hot, and
thereby impaired intense heat to the encasing
Of wood which surrounded them, and which
covering was lined with felt, in order to dcaden
the heat; this felt, in due course of time, be-
came so imprcgnatcd with heat as to take fire.
as also to cause the framework of wood to ig-
mite.
The framework was out of sight, being i'm
mediatcy under the ladies' cabin, and directly
over the top of the starboard boiler; thus it
was rendered impossible for any one to get
water, or anything else, near enough to exiin-
guish the smouldering felt. In consequence of
the smoking caused by the smouldering wood
and felt the saloon was soon in such a condi-
tion that no one could remain in it; Capt.
Leitch, finding that The fire could not be got
out, ordered wet blankets to be covered over
every place where the least portion of air could
get down; by this means, as also keeping the
pumps going, (Which was accomplished by the
saloon stewards) the flames were kept under till
all the passengers were got out of the ship.
