FIREs.-Colonel John S. Barbour lost two
barns by fire Yesterday at lis Maryland farm,
known as Poplar IIill.' In one of them
there was six hogshcads OF tobacco and about
two hundred bushels of turnips, with farm
in. implements. The origin of the fire hts
not been ascertaincd; but as some children
were playing at the barn Il few minutes be-
fore the fire occurred, it is attributed to their
cnreleSsness. The barns were only short
distance apart. and the high wind of yester-
day blew the cinderS of the one in which the
fire originated to the other.-Alerand,1a Sen

\ CHILD FRIGHTENED INTO 1MBEClLlTY-
FEARFUL WARNING FOR PARENTs--A LIFE
long lpluT THROUGH 4 father STUBBORN
NESs.--A week or two ago a family named
Woodstock arrived la this city from West
chester, y. Y, intending to settle i'll the
state, and accepted the Invitation of an old
acquaintance residing on Russell street to
stop with him for a week or two until they
had decided where to locate. Not being
suited with the city, Woodstock took trip
10 the interior and purchased farm III Ber-
ricn county. He came back Saturday night,
and the family would have left Monday only
for the occurrence of Il sad affair due to the
Puritanical ideas and llard-hcartedness of the
father.
The Youngest of the children is a boy
about four wears old. who, being a pet. has
been allowed to sleep with his parents. Sun
day night the Wood>tocks, desiring to 60 to
church, an effort WIS made to get the boy to
70 to bed with the older brother. lie was
frightened and timid and made great Oppose
ton. saying "that he was afraid of bears and
wolves" The opposition irritated the father,
and he declared that he would not go to
church, and that Charlie should 90 to sleep
in that bed. As the child kept crying and
teasing. the older one was made to get up and
steep elsewhere. i HIS ut(t uOl uclp llitttels,
of course, and then Woodstock told the boy
he would lock the door and leave him in the
dark if he did not cease crying. Frightened
further, the lad continued weeping and be-
Sccching, and Woodstock did us he said he
would.
The boy screamed at the top of his voice
for few minutes, beat OH the door, and en-
treated to be taken out, but the father was
unrclunting as rock. The walls gradually
died away, the lad ceased to shout, and after
half III hour the door Was opened. He WAS
not found asleep, us expected, but he was
crouchcd down in Il corner, his feet drawn
uD under him, and it took only Il moment to
convince the parents that the boy had been
rendered Il lllnatic or an idiot. He laughed
and talked to himself, did otreply to ques-
ton. gave no one any notice, and when the
mother realized what had occurred she
tainted away. Every effort was made by the
friends to bring the boys reason back, but all
failed. He would not speak, gave the other
children no notice, but wanted to rollaround
on the floor and play with spools and sticks.
\ physician was called Monday and two
more Tuesday, but all were agreed that the
boys reason had been affected by his fright,
and that he might be an idiot for the rest OF
his days. The circumstance has nearly
broken the mothers heart, and the father
carries ii conscience which any criminal short
OF murder would not enjoy.-Detroi Free

DRESSING AND DIPLoMACT.
The Pail Mall Gazette, of September 9, say

The Pail Mall Gazette, of September 9, says:
Ladies' aud Others who take an interest In
variations Of costumes will pick W some use
FIJI hints by studying the proceedings OF the
three EmperOrs at Berlin. Seldom, indeed,
have three sisters In one family displayed
ench ingenuity In this respect, as that exhibit.
ed by their maIesttes at the great court dinner
served in the White Hall on Saturday evening.
The Emperor of Austria, says the telegram,
wore a Russian uniform and a Prussian order,
the Emperor Alexander q Prusslan uni
form and an Austrian order, and the
Emperor william an Austrian uniform
with the Russian order of st. Andrew.
No two emperors, 1t will be observed,
were dressed alike, and all three had
dipped into each others wardrobe. Probably
we shall next hear of the Emperor OF Austria
In a PrussIan uniform with a Russian order,
the Emperor Alexander in an Austrian uni
form with a Prussisn order, and the Emperor
William in a Russian uniform with an Aus.
TRAN order. 1t would require q fatlgulng
a of arithmetlcal knowledge to calcu-
late the various changes their Majesties Will
be able to ring on the common wardrooes
thew have thus pleasantly established, but
we NAV take 1t Tor granted that this inter-
change of clothing augurs well for the peace
of Europe: at all events, 1t Ia quite Impossible
Thai war could be declared until each Fmpe.
rsr had retired to his own dresslng-room and
nut on his proper hsbillments. A sudden ap,,
Deal to arms when the Emperors were dressed
in the wrong uniforms would lead 10 sncn
serious complications that even Prince Bis
marck himself would shrink from creating the
confederation.

Owing to his ekilful treatment, they all recov:

Why she should have acted thus, no n can

The True Solution OF h Negro CUES
ton.

LOUISVILLE, September %.
Mr. Greeley, In discussing the colored ques.
tion said NFellow.citizens, If our movement
should prevail; as I rust 1t will prevail, we
will sweep away all this refuse Of lies In three
months. We win say to the colored men, we
profIer you nothing except the protection OF
the laws-the .same for you as for us. You
have Your living to earn az. we'll ss We have.
You WIN have TO use all your abilities, all your
energies, all your faculties, and make the most
Of them you can. The laws do not favor you.
They viii thoroughly project you, and In three
months, If We succeed, the colored people will
be 30 disabused that some men can
never deceive them again-never again. But
suppose we fail, and we may fail, Il the colored
men did not. believe that the power was
against uB, that money; II they did not realize
that the treasury, the army and the one hun.
dred thousand ~Oflce-holders we're all banded
against US, in force which, they believe, We
cannot overcome, they certainly would not be
30 universally hostile to us. Why, they think
VIE cannot succeed and they want TO be upon
the winning side. That is q part Of 1t, but
they are also deluded In regard TO our purpo-
ses. We say We are not your enemies, we
will not be your oppreesors; though you have
done us injustice, we will try, as we'll as we
can, to have your children educated and en-
lightened, 30 that the mistakes you have made
cannot be made 0ver and over again.

4 NEw THEORY OF EXPLOSIONS.

The latest theory In regard to explosions is
that of the vibration of, particles. Quite e
of years ago Professor Tyndal and
Count s~chaffgotseh called attention to some
Interesting experiments which they had made
with ''sensltiveen or ~"slnging" flames, as are.
suit Of toe observed fact that gas lights Will
!vibrate In q peculiar way under certain con.
ditlons when music is made near them. Some
time afterwards Mr.. Abel showed that explo-
sive substances will generally preserve their
stability unless their particles are. excited to
move In q peculiar way. w. Champion
and Pellet have now undertaken TO prove
that as heat alone will not always cause e1'
plosives to explode, there must be some musi
cal note or notes which are capable OF doiDii
so. One Of their experiments was to piact;
iodide Of nitrogen In small bags suspended
from the strings Of q bass.viol. When the
bow was applied 1t was found that the lowest
notes occasioned no explosion, while the
higher ones instantly did 30, at least sixty
vibrations per second being required to pro-
Educed the desired effect.
