| MADE MAD BY STARvATIoN.-New York
Octooer 3l.-While crazed by hunger Mrs.
Mary Barn tried t. kill her r,-sh 500. st,ien'
year-ol8 soa,f street ut daybreak this mora
ing. Intervention of neighbors alone pre-,
| vented a tragedy. For three weeks past
the woman has been i'll. She was too poor
to engage a physician, and too busy to spare
time to 60 to the free dispensary, having
three children and their grandmother to
provide for. She naturally grew weaker
and weaker each day for want Of proper
food. To add to her misery Mrs. Barn 8
husband is at present at Bellevue Hospital,
suffering from incursble disease, and il had
been necessary eo part with many necessary
household goods in order to stay the tide of
adversely. The pluoky little woman's con-
tinued fasting soon showed itself in her face
and form, although the children, through
her self-deIrva'ion, were kept pluEp and
bright.
Shortly before o'clcak this morning
Mrs. Barn Frose. Her mother was awake
AT the time and saw her 60 to the room door
and lock it and put the key in her pocket.
Then she took up her youngest child laid
down on the bed and began to nurse it.
Suddenly she was sliced with convulsions
and began to chcke the infant until it had
almost ceased to breath. a struggle with
the grandmother ensued, in which the latter
finally obtained possession of the babe. No
sooner had sho done So than the crazed
woman sprang at her ihrott and grasped it
in grip of iron. The old woman struggled
in vain to be free, and the chi dren shrieked
with fright, Mamma, you're hurting
grandma. Don't hold her that way" When
the mother released her grasp the old lady
was almost past aid. a great black streak
on her throat is still Wis 'blc. The insane
parent next seized one Of the boys, Johnnie
by the throat, aud would surely have muir
dcred him but for the screams Of his brother
which aroused the neghbors and after a
desperate struggle shc was taken in an am
bulauce to Bellevue. The surgeon there says
that Mrs. Barn became n maniac through
sheer lack of food. The agent of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children
has taken care Of the little ones. Mrs.
Barn is 81 years old. Ter husband, who is

Tho Panpero.

4 strange natural phenomenon is tho
panpero, q South American storm wind,
which Is described by the author Of
Hearts Of Oak, who first made its ac-
Z quaintance during stay at Montevideo.
A light breeze had been blowing from
the northeast, but had steadily increased
In force, and brought with it the heated
air OF the tropics, which, passing over q
treeiess pampa country, exposed to the
burning sun rays of a clear sky, so
warns up the atmosphere on the shores,
OF the Rio de la Plata that its effect upon
human beings is exceedingly bad.
This state Of things generally lasts for
o week, or longer, until the sitting heat
becomes unbearable and the inhabitants
arc seen resting in grass lammocks or
lying on bare floors, incapable Of exer-
tion. However, relief is close at hand
A little clond "no bigger than mans
hand" is first seen to rise above the
water, then tho heavens grow black with
clouds, and the battle Of opposing winds
begins. =.
The pampero advances with its artil-
lery well in front; forked flashes Of vivid
lightning, followed by peals Of thunder,
bear down upon the foe, who, quite up
to the moment Of attack, is ficrcely dis
charging its fiery breath on the surround
ing regions. The inhabitapts now climb
on the azoteas, or fat roofs, to watch the
struggle and to be the first to participate
In the delicious relief brought by the
pampero to their fevered bodies.
Far outon the river q curious sight
may be seen; the opposing waves, raised
by the rival winds, meet like rush of
cavalry in wild career; their white horses
Efoaming crests dash themselves
ag It each other and send clouds of
dazzling stray high in the air; this being
backed by an inky sky renders the scene
most imposing.
s Gradually the northeaster gives way,
followed closely by its enemy, the PAM
pero, which throws out skirmishing cur.
rents OF ice cold wind in advance Of its
1nM onslaught. Then comes the roar
the elements, and deluge such as no
one would willingly encounter, and
cooler weather is established, or the time
being.

SCHOOL DISTRICT CONSULTATION.

The county court has postponed action on
Superintendent STEWARDS petition for a
consolidation of the city school districts
until the 9th instant, at which time parties
desiring to be heard in the matter should
put in an appearance with their arguments.
The HERALD knows that the school ar
engagements in this city are not what they
should be; we know that the taxation for
schools does not fall equally and
equitably upon all citizens, and we
also know that educational advantages are
by no means equal. In some districts the
schools are free and the rate of taxation
low, while in others adjoining the tax is
not only high, but tuition fee has to be
paid as well for each pupil. There are dis
trlcts which build fine, commodious school
houses with low tax, and there are other
districts containing just as many children,
which are compelled to put up with anti
quated, small and inconvenient structures.
because the people are too poor to build and
equip new houses. We know that some
thing should be done to remedy the exist
ing evils, but whether or not Professor
STEWARDS plan IS the best that can be
devised we would not like to say. 1t is 10
be hoped that the trustees generally, and
those actively engaged in educational work
will present their ideas to the county
court this week, and thus enable the court
to act intelligently and for the best good of

THE WEATHER permitted this time.
BLACK AND WHITE.

1t would be very gratifying to all lovers
of good order and good government in our
midst if the remnants Of carpet-bag and
scallaw8g rule could be extirpated from
the southern states and the races thus
permitted to live with each other on terms
of peace and equality But so long as
there are any political strings to pull, the
negro will continue to be, as ever
since the war he has been the cats
paw TO rake out cfestnuts from the fire for
the northern Republican and his southern
allies, the carpet Dagger and renegade.
Not long since an iniammatory article
regarding the situation in the south ap
peared in the New York Tribune, in which
it was sought to be shown that the negro
was being imposed upon beyond the point
of human endurance, and that there must
be change in the situation or an outbreak.
This leads the Meridian (Miss) Netrs to
ask If it has never occurred to the vituper-
alive sheets lie the Tribune that it is
within the power of the white people to
drive the negroes out of the south without
committing one act of violence except in
their own defense. If it has not occurred
to them, the Ne,rs continues, let them pom
der over the fact that all the lands, all the
industries of the south are owned by the
white people. From these the negro earns
his living. In one sense, he is as much a
slave to-day to the whites as he ever was.
The negro is tolerated as laborer be-
cause the southern whites are accustomed
to him. But they are not so much in love
with the negro that they would hesitate
to do without him in case of emergency,
and it ought by this time to be well under
stood that while the white people can get
along without the black ones, the converse
1T is not true by any means.
The paper quoted from sounds note of
warning when it says: Let the federal
government attempt again to hoist the ne
groes over the whites with the aid of fed
eral bayonets and cannon, and every ave
nue. of making living open to the negro
could be withdrawn from him. Then he
would have to go to his loving friends of
the Tribune kind for the bread that he eats
and the clothes that he wears 1t would be
a peaceful revolution; but it would be an
one"
1t is greatly to be hoped that no such
issue will come upon the country; but if
it should, undoubtedly we will all know
where to place the responsibility 1t has
been several times shown that white peo-
pie with black interiors are good deal
worse than those who are black all the way
