AN ALMOST INCREDIBLE ATRoCITY.-Earlv
on Sunday morning, three persons in the en-
ploy OF the Erie railway company at Susdue-
hanna Depot, Pa, found a little negro boy,
thirteen years Old, asleep in one OF the
company's buildings. They procured a can
of kerosene and poured it over the boys legs,
and then set fire to it. The wgetehss. then thEew
but, enveloped i'm fire, he was bewildered and
frightened and when the fire reached the flesh
his cries were hearirendng. His inhuman tor
mentors took their oyercoats, making motions
as though they intended to smother the flames.
but in reality only prolonging the torture.
Fearing that they, we're going too far in the
matter, they hnally extinguished the fire, but
not until the boys legs had been roasted to the
bone in several places. They then fed DIR.
Tingley took charge Of the sufferer, but gives il
as his opinion that the boy cannot recover. It is
!ald that there were other persOns who Witnessed
the burning OF the boy, and that they refuse to
expose the perpetrators of the deed. The negro
came there on Saturday from Hawley, and being
Wiling to work, brush and box Of blackin9
was given him, and during the day he gathered
little sum OF money, and at night sought rest i'm
one OF the company's buildings.

"The Rattle of Berlin i'm 1875.

A Frenchman has lately published in Paris a
tract entitled The Battle of Berlin in 1875" 1t
which appeared in BLACK Goods Magazine last
spring. The story is professedly told by an Old
Soldier of the Landwehr,' who having served
through the late German war, lived to serve
again in the same cause, and TO see his country
utterly defeated and oyerborne by France in
1915. He narrates the course of events which
led to this result, TO his son. The imaginary
battle of Dorking had crushed the power Of Eng
land, and Germany, or rather Prussia, was left
alone to pursue her policy of unlimited annex
alton. She cOmpels Denmark to come into her
confederation, and at length urges the states of
Holland TO do the same thing. Italy and Austria
are her friends, and she seems to have all Eu-
rope at her feet. At this moment Bismarck
suddenly dies, and the Emperor, over-contident
whom he could trust, attempts to carry on the
government himself Everything straightway
begins to 60 wrong. On account of some i'm
aginary offence, war is declared against France.
The Prussians alone, of all the Germans, are in
favor of the war, and they are confident of sue
cess. 1t was to be the campaign of 1870 over
again. France was to be made province of
Germany. The other states were opposed to it.
They raised their quotas slowly and reluctantly,
and some OF them did not raise them at all.
England was now on the side of France. so far
As she was on either side, but since the battle of
Dorking, she had been too weak to render any
important assistance. Russia was on the same
side, and took the field with an immense army
Austria and Italy were in alliance with Prussia,
and expectations were cherished of their assist
ance. But, when the time came, italy was MOI
ready, and revolution in Hungary absorbed
the attention OF Austria. Prussia was compelled
to meet the shock alone. The struggle was ter
ribe. but between the nvasions Of Russia on
the one side, and of France on the other with
dissatisfaction of nearly all the smaller German
states, the armies of France penetrated to the
heart of the country and fought the "Batte Ct
Berlin" They afterward entered the Prussian
capital and detailed the terms of humilating
peace.
