It is after the style of the “Battle of Dorking,” which appeared in Slackwood's a gens last spring. The story is professediy told by an‘‘Oid 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 deteated and overborne by France in 1875. “He narrates the course of events which led to this result, to bis son. The imaginary battle of Dorking had crushed the power of E land, and Germany, or rather Prussia, was left alone to pursue her policy of unlimited annex- ation. She compels Denmark to come into her confederation, and at length urges the states of Holland to dothe same thing. Itsly and Austria are her friends, and she seems to have all Eu: rope at her feet. At this moment Bismare suddenly dies, and the Emperor, over-contident in his abilities. and not finding a minister to whom he could trust, attempts te carry on the overnmeni himself. Everything straightway egins to go wrong. On account of some im- aginary offence, war is declared against France. The Prussians atone, of all the Germans, are in favor of the war, aud they are con‘ident of suc- cess. It was to be the campaign of 1870 over again. France was to be made a province of Germany. The other states were opposed to it. They raised their quotas slowly and reluctantly, aud some of them did not raise them at all, England was now on the side of France, so far asshe 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 Prussi and expectations were cherished of their assist ance. But, when the time came, Italy was noi ready, and’ a revolution in Hungary absorbed the attention of Austria. Prussia was compelled to meet the shockalone. The straggle was ter- rible. but between the invasions of Russia on the one side, and of France on the other, with dissatisfaction of bgp all the smaller German states, the armics of France penetrated to the heart of the country and fought the “Battle cf Berlin.”” by? atterward entered the Prussian ‘al and detailed the terms of humiliating AN ALmosT IncREDINLE ATROCIT on Sanday morning, three persons in railway company at Susque- » Pa., foand a little negro boy, thirteen years oli, asleep in one of the company’s buildings.

His inhuman tor- mentors took their overcoats, making motions as though they intended to smother the flames, but in reality only prolonging the torture. Fearing that they were going too far in the watter, they finally extinguished the fire, but net until the boy's legs had been roasted to the bone in several places. They then Dr. Tingley took charge of the sufferer, but gives it as his opinion that the boy cannot recover.
