TWO YEARS AFLOAT. Captain Phelps Tells How He Sailed the Brunhilde Round the World. From the New York Herald. Early in the year of grace 1885 half a dozen Yale gradaate3 put their heads together and consulted how they could perfect their edu cation in the pleasantest possible manner bo fore beginning in earnest the sorious busi ness of life. After much confab John J. Phelps proposed that they should take a trip round the world, and not by means of rail roads or steamers, or oven a steam yacht, but, as tho ancient mariners used u> go, in an honest, manageable, first-class sailing yacht. This proposal being unanimously accepted, Mr. Plielps had a yacht built and invited his friends to accompany him on his trip. go it came to pass that tho yacht Brun hilde was launched on April 29, ISBS, and left this city on June 14 of tho same year, having on board her captain and owner, John J. Phelps, his traveling companions and a competent crew. Yesterday morn ing tho Brunhilde anchored off Bay Ridge, after a voyage .which had lasted more than two years and which was memorable in many respects. A TRIP ROUND THE WORLD. Capt. John J. Phelps, a russet bearded, plain spoken, very affable gentleman, was seen by a reporter yesterday soon after the yacht arrived. His father, William Walter Phelps, had just greeted him, and several friends were congratulating him on his successful voyage. When tlie reporter in troduced himself he courteously left his friends at onco and plunged into a narra tive of what ho had seen and done during his absence. “Five of my friends left New York with me," he began, “and their names are A. E. Symington, Kier Mitchell, H. H. Strong, Charles Hulsey and T. R. Hillard. Wo went first to the races at New London, Conu., and then sailed for Cowes, in Eng land, where we attended the regatta. Tbenae " r e sailed by Boulogne to Cherbourg, and there Mr. Halsey left us. Returning to Cowes wo hired two officers and made for the Mediterranean. * In the Bay of Biscaya bad gale struck us, and the same gale, by tho way, nearly sunk a British gunboat. ' Un fortunately we touched at Cadiz, and as there was cholera there were quarantined at Tanjiers and Gibraltar, and actually de tained four days at Oran, in Africa. When we got off we sailed for Malta and encoun tered a frightful sirocco on the way, From Malta, where we were also quarantined, we went to Alexandria and Cairo, and spent a very pleasant week going up tho Nile in dahabeahs. Then wo came down to Port Said and were towed through the Suez canal to Suez. STORMS AND PIRATES. “Then we had a hard time of it going down the Red Sea. We were being towed by a,stoamer and had gone two-thirds of the way when a terrible storm broke. It tore away our bowsprit, jibboom and foretop mast and broke two 6-incli hawsers that connected us w ith tho steamer. Of course we were driven loose, and it took us many hours to get our deck clear. Our next stop ping place was lebelzakir, and we had good snipe shooting tliero for four days. Then we went on by Aden to Bombay, and as we were off Socotra we were very near being captured by pirates. It was night when we saw them in a big boat quite close to us, and there was nothing we could do but show them our heels. They wero trying their best to range alongside, and it was the ut most we could do to get away from them. “We spent a month at Bombay and then went on to Ceylon and Hong Kong, and thence to Yokohama, where we stayed a month. When we left there we sailed for San Francisco and arrived in thirty days, beating a tea clipper by ten days. Good run, wasn’t it? We overhauled tho yacht at San Francisco and then spent six weeks cruising among tho Sandwich Islands and three at Tahiti. Our next trip was to Juan Fernandez, whore, being short of provisions, we had to satisfy ourselves with a goat and twelve potatoes, which we secured on the island, and thence wo sailed for Valparaiso which we left on Feb. 1 of this year, after being a month there. SAILING ROUND THE HORN. “What we did next is something I am really proud of. We ran around the Horn to the Falkland Islands, ami I believe mine is the only sailing yacht that has ever done so. Such vessels, os you know, tight shy of the Horn. Well, we next visited Monte video, Buenos Ay res. Rio Janeiro and many other places, until wo finally came to Ber muda, whence wo crossed over to New York. Mr. Hillard and Mr. C. C. Clark aro the only two of my companions who have come home with me. Mr. Clark I might have told you, joined us at Barbadoes. Mr. Symington left us at Hong Kong, Mr. Mitchell at Yokohama, Mr. Strong at San Francisco and Mr. Halsey at Cherbourg. And now. goodby, as my friends aro wait ing for me. ' Tho dimensions of the Brunhilde aro as follows: I length, 11U feet; beam, 2d feet; draught ll.tifect. Her tonnage is 119. She is schooner rigged and carries a square yard, and is equipped with three boats and a small launch. Her crew comprises ten men before the mast, two cooks, two stewards, a boat-wain and two mates. She still carries the same sails that were on her when she was launched more than two years ago. Though slip has passed through several storms, including a typhoon in the China Sea, slip lias suffered no serious damage. Capt. Phelps is uncertain whether he will lay her up for the present or take her to Nantucket, where his pcoplo are staying for the summer. Capt. Plielps is a member of the New York Yacht Club, tho New Haven Yacht Club, and the Atlantic Yacht Club. NICOLINI WAS JEALOUS. Tho Roooon Wherefore Sloeson Went Away from Patti’s Castle. Mr. Klosson, says the Chicago Herald, de scribes thy Patti castle as situated upon a picturesque crag, near the buso of two mag nificent. mountains, in the Swansea valley, in South Wales. The building was orig inally two stories, a sort of castle, with tur rets, but.since Patti Ixujgiit it vast additions haw be-n made. Three conservatories bin* Im-. ii added, and two oteguut billiard rooms ere ted by way of L’s to the original structure. The two latter commuuie.’.to by two doors. I*'t when which is an orchestrion whirhcosl 415<i,0b0. It was built in Geneva, Switzerland, and plays over 100 op rax, and has facilities for adding 1(H) .more. This wonderful orcliurtrion Is inlaid with bronzes, and is not only l-ountiful to look upon, but its meiody tills tho castle as with the music of mi orchestra of sixty pieces. Patti's billiard parlor, in th-> northern wing of the castle, is probably tl ■ > most beautiful billiard parlor ni the world. A rich partition divines tho parlor into two apartments, In one is an English lwx'kct billiard table us big ax the 01.1-l'nshioiiod American table, and in the other is uu American table. Tho latter is a marvel of cortly workmanship. It is made of antique Oak, richly Inlaid with ivory and silver and bronze plncquus. .Soft carpets cover the floor, exjiensivo paintings hang upon the Wall*, and near the frescoed ceiling lx a gal lery for n string orchestra. A grand piano stands in one corner of the gallerv. The col lection of cues in the billiard parlor is a re markable one. It contains sticks that were present cl to tho diva and Nieolini by many admirers. Among them is one from Presi dent Diaz, of Mexico, others from Vignaux, I’lot, and young Jacob Bchaofor, and Joseph Dion, Patti’s tutor. There are, also, four of different designs that Klossou himself pre sent'd to Patti. Mr. Hlofflon described the conservatories, the billiard rooms, the saloons, the sleopjng apartments, the dining and breakfast, rooms, the purloin and other apartments ns tho “finest in tho world.’’ One of the conservatories is full of little Cascades ami singing birds, and the atmos phere is laden with the noogled perfume* of Biany kinds of flowers. In thru conserva tory tho diva uiijoyrrt many an evening Dro.norudo with her American eucst. Jho castle looks down upon one of the prettiest sights the globe can boast. At the base of the mountain is a gently declining sward, through which runs a trout stream, whoso ziz-zag course extends along the mountain’s base for thirty-one miles. Beyond this, and upon the diva’s immense estate, there is a salmon stream which in its meanderings measures thirty-five miles. All the saloons, billiard rooms and conser vatories of the castie are lighted by elec tricity, while tho boudoirs and private apartments are lighted by gas manufactured on the premises. There are, says Mr. Slos son, ninety servant* connected with the castle, over whom a German named Wilhelm Ileak presides as premier of the estate. Ho has authority even over Nieo lini, tho husband of tho world’s song bird, and knows no superior at the cnstlo except Patti herself. . t \\ ithin and without the castle, says Mr. Slosson, all is a sea of fruits and flowers and foliage. The area of the estate is one of magnificent parks. In her home Patti is a queen, and her husband is a dissolute sot. She entertains her guests regardless of him, while lie entertains them, or lather his guests, after the most selfish style. He has one sort of wine for himself and another, a less costly brand, for them. He appears to be madly but sullenly jealous of her all the while. She is a lady of brains and force of character, keeping her own accounts, man aging personally her o*n affairs, and direct ing all matters of business on the estate. He is a weak sister, with onlv enough brains to comprehend the fact that others so look upon him. Hence his uncongenial temperament. Patti maintains 16 horses at the castle and lives in a round of regal pleasure, in which Nieolini often fails to participate. Slosson, during his two weeks’ stay, was a particular favorite of Patti. Of all the guests at the castle while he was there he was, he says, the favorite. His apartments were the choicest in the castle, his seat in the conservatory dining apartment was nearest the queen’s, and most elaborately decorated with bouquets and best served with wines. And when he finally tore him self away from the regal hospitality and affectionate regard of the song-bird he did so with the assurance that after her South American trip next year she would return to America once more, although having al ready bid it a third or fourth farewell. “The fact is,” sn.j’6 Mr. Slosson, “that Nieolini was so insanely and foolishly jeal ous of me that I concluded to avoid trouble by cutting short my delightful visit.” Gen. Longstreet at Home. From the Chicago Times. Twenty-fivo years ago Gen. James Long street was a man of blood. Tho one object of his life was the slaughter of men. What a change has come! Perfect peace surrounds the old soldier in the evening of his life. A quiet farm house stands on the summit of a mountain ridge in North Georgia. Be fore it lies the valley of the Chattahoochee. The ground descends rapidly, and from the home of Longstreet one looks down upon the treetops. For miles and miles stretches a restless sea of green, fanned this way and that way by the mountain winds. Beyond rises a range of hills, and further still are the Blue Ridge Mountains, darkly outlined against the sky. As I approached the house a few days ago I saw no sign of life save a pickaninny in the horse lot, and some very fine-looking chickens in the yard. The large double doors at the front of the house stood half-open. There was no bell, so I knocked. There was no response, so I knocked again. My next rap, it seemed to me, was enough to loosen the plastering in tho hall. Still there was no response. At that moment I caught sound of a snore. “There is life in the old land yet,” I thought, as I made an effort to awaken the snorer. But the more I knocked the louder did the snorer snore. I grew tired and quit knocking. I turned from the door and looked upon the beautiful and peaceful scene stretching away to where the sky touched the mountain tops. I was so vexed that I wanted to throw a rock at a mocking bird singing in a big sycamore near by. Turning to the door again I put all my strength into ono terrific crash against the door. There was a sudden sound as of one awakening inside the house, and “Lee’s old war horse*' came down the hall to meet ino. His hair was silver. His whiskers were snow. His giant figure was somewhat bent, but his eagle eyes still flashed with the old time fire, and vears had only deepened the strong lines in his face. He was dressed for comfort. He did not care that his collar •was awry, that his vest adorned a chair post, that his Alapaca coat was ripped up the back. He did not care that his slip pei-s went “flap, flap, flap” against his lieeis as he walked. 1 did not care either. “Nobody here to-day but me,” said the old warrior, as he showed me into the library, where he had been sleeping on a lounge. 1 spent a quiet afternoon with my old friend. He talked to me about war and showed me his old Confederate uniform. “I shall put it on some day and havo my picture taken,” he said. “Have you had enough of war?” I asked. “Yes, plontv on my own account,” he re plied, “but if France and Germany should •ome to blows I would like to go over and see Von Moltke fight.” Gen. Longstreet is wonderfully like tho pictures of Emperor William. A friend traveling in Europe sent him a large photo graph of the Gorman Emperor, auu Mrs. Lone;street’s cook believes to this day it is a picture of her “Marso Jeems.” Tlie General’s fortune is rather small but he lives comfortably. He diVides his time between a vineyard and a history which he is now writing. The history will lie out in about a year. It will contain some very startling statements about the lath war. The 1-ook will be made up mainly of ac counts of adventures in the ware in which Gen. Longstreet has taken part. Gen. Longstreet is charming in conversa tion, though he is very deaf. Mrs. Long street is u very vivacious little lady, and of course quite proud of the General. Her maiden name was Maria Louise Garland, and her parents lived in Virginia. Gen. and Mrs Longstreet havo five children-—four sons an 1 a <laughter. The oldest ion, Major John Longstreet, was in the war at 15. and is now ;J7 years old. The other soils are Robert L-r, burn in Petersburg in ISrtS; James, born in Lynchburg in 1860, and Fit Randolph, born in Lynchburg in TS6'.). The dunghter, Miss Maria Louise Longstreet, now 14 yours old, was born in Flint, Mich. Gen. Longstroet was born about u mile from Augusta, Gu., on tho South Caroliiui side of the Savannah river. He is 65 years old, is in splendid health, and bids fair to live many years yet. The Mystery of the New Church. From tlic Louisville i A’y.) Commercial. Avery mysterious circumstance is xuid to have occurred near Coinmiskey, Jennings county, lint., Sunday night, July 24. About live months ago the peqplo of that neigh borhood concluded to build a Baptist church, as most of them wore of that faith. A col lection was taken up and tho lumlx r pro cured. For a time the work progressed \ cry smoothly, until it came to the raising of large beam, which was intended to uphold the rafters of the structure. A derrick large enough coukl not be procured, and work was stopped. During the summer nights the farmers havo frequently met to discuss some means of raising the beam, but nothing was ever done. On last Monday morning, however, it wu* discovered that the beam had lic.-.n phn-orl in position during the night by seme unknown agency. Hundreds of poople gathered about the place, and the miracle, if such it may Is* termed, has created greet religious excitement in the neighborhood. There id not the slight est sign that tho work was dope bv human hands,und many imaginative people say that they heard beautiful music ami saw strange sights about the place on the night pre ceding. No difficulty wus exp'i-irtiecd in raising HOC! to go on with tho work, and it was decided to cull the new edifice "Christ’s Own." A. L. Bennett, who i esidiw nearest the church, was chc<n to preach, and the next Sunday the sermon will bo commenced. ! THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1887. SWORDSMEN IN INDIA. Wonderful Skill Displayed by the Mon of the East W Ith Thoir Keen Blades. From thr English Mechanic. The high-class damascened and exquisitely tempered blades, the curved eimeters of extra hard steel and tlie keen weapons of highly finished durability carao to India with those mighty conquerors of the East, the Mohammedans, whose descendants under the victorious and peace-promoting British rule can no longer follow the craft, disarming being the prevailing regime. The comparatively few sword blades of sterling quality nowadays are only to be found in the palaces of loyal princes, most of them heirlooms in their armories. Before the great mutiny every native, even menial servants, carried a sword; the peasant at his plow wore the weapon of defense; so did the harmless wanderer in search of employ, and the black soldier on short leave. It was a national appendage, due to the unsettled state of popular feelings aud lawless inclinations. The excited Moslem printed and shouted the great text of the false prophet, “The Sword is the Key of Heaven and Hellwhile the quiet Hindoo frequented midnight meetings and brought his toghnr, or village sabre, to a razor edge. The quiet dweller in England will scarcely believe the prodigies performed in sword cutting by these coanse, ill-looking bits of curved metal, costing no more than tw o shillings. The Englishman can excel in everything if he chooses to master the ob ject. Not less than lialf a dozen, perhaps even a dozen, have attained such swords manship with the oriental weapon as to lie acknowledged champions, the title of “mas ter of the sword” being bestowed on them by universal consent I had shot numerous wild beasts when I was told by an expert that my hunting education was very deficient, as 1’ could not handle a cimiter to stop my game. I was told to exercise continually on a pillar of soft clay, and thus acquire the drawing cut at the proper part of the blade; then on a pillar loosely stuffed with cotton; then on a newly killed wildcat or jackal, kneaded Erevious to the practice by the feet of a euvy man till the carcass became a loose, soft mass; then on a great pond carp, a fish clad with heavy, horny scales, like elastic mail, considered an A1 feat to test man and sword. My first trial at this experiment, re sulted in a triple fracture of tlie good blade, sundry scales flying in the air, uncut, only dislodged; then the artistic tour de force at paper cones placed on a table, and muslin thrown up to a height—ull manner of strange and difficult Disks which, being only! ornamental, I eventually forsook for the useful and more easy decapitation of fierce quadrupeds, beginning with a wounded wild hog of full growth, and on essaying the sloping stroke behind the ear, sweeping off the head nearly, that important part dropping between the fore feet. Not long before I had seen a bold young fihoorka princeling dismount from his elephant, leaving it standing to await his return, and follow on foot alone an immense boar he had wounded with his rifle. On nearing tlie powerful brute it champed its foamy tusks to charge. He drew his kookree or ne paulse sword, and, as it it sprang at him, the blade was buried across piggy’s back, ail but severing him in two parts. Perhqps readers will not credit my state ment of village peasants, with a sword and shield attacking and slashing a full grown tigor, when one of these powerful animals has strayed from the forest into tlieir fields. Yet I have often known such encounters, a man or two always killed and several wounded, the tiger’s skin spoiled, too, by the long, deop cuts of their teghars. Isa w a champion swordsman, a native soldier, who went into the rose bushes alone witli no other weapon—shield on shoulder. His cuts were masterly; but the bold man was soon struck down and severely mauled. A crowd came to the res cue and shot the beast; the hero recovered. “The manly weapon” is its designation. In their party fights each side would swear that no other deadly arm should be used. I accordingly witnessed one of these combats. Swordsmen, shield on arm, in twos and threes, came running to the scene of quarrel—a cow’s trespass. It was an exciting event. Clansmen were con tinually arriving, and every man selected ids foe. It was grand sword play. Tlie iiead, legs and arms seemed to be the chief points of attack. Being a British subject, passing through an independent State, f was obliged to gallop off as fast as my horse could go at the commencement of this bat tle. At the same time and place, near my camp, two brothers fought a duel about land. One was killed, the other well slashed. In two or three days I passed by a battle royal. The King of Quae's troops wero besieging some refractory land owners who refused to pay rents. Heavy cannon were booming around and musketry crack ing ; the village swordsman and feudal re tainers, under cover of night, made many a daring sally, and left the print of tlieir teghars on Moslem limbs. I saw blood stained liodics on rude cots being carried away to their homes. Tlie unequul struggle had already lasted three days. That tough and stubborn jxiasantry could boast that in long i ears they had never once liecn de feated—no, not even by regular troops. Among some military trophies I once saw a very rude, rusty teghar— locally worth a shilling—which had cl nnly decapitated a raw recruit, severing coat collar, brass buckle and caste necklaoo of hard enamel beads. Tlie niiablo village rebel had sprung on tlie sepoy from ambush while trimming his flintlock after a misfire. This and all the low-priced teghars and tulwars are of very soft metal, capable of being Ixint and straightened across the blade, while the arch or cutting portion, with razor edge, offers immense resist once in the hands of an expert, who, behind his shield, can watch and measure his opportunity. Only the straight thrust of British bayonets or dragon blades can reach them. The metal and finish of cutting arms im prove when we enter North India. Hard steel of fine temper and high workmanship used to lie common until two Kikli war-and the great mutiny abolished the demand for such deadly wares. Tlie skillful Moham medan craftsman had to emigrate for a livelihood, or too often dwindled into a blacksmith of harmless occupation. I re rnoinber in the good old times of tlie East India Company itinerant sworrl peddler ~ Persians and Afghans of great stature and big turbans. “Do you want any swords!” “Yes, but where arc they?” “Here,” awl the vendor’s hands were lifted to his head cloth, where they groped nwhile. Out sprang three or tour shining stool snakes, chedic blades, unbundled ala mode, £3U to £iO tKicli in value, sometimes more. Then the dealer put them through various severe rests to satisfy his cu toicer, packin'- them awny again in their h.dii g jiliioo should there lie no rale, and going < n his rand. But there were many shapes and sizes and sorts of eimotors of great pi i- c, hairier and In* flexible, both plain and damascened. The black steel of Khorassau, very rare in tlie mnrket, reputed to cut off the neck of an anvil -an Eastern an vil, of course; the Pei-han and Central Asian specimens, elegantly wutcrod in circular veins, some so light that a girl could use thorn, other.; so heavy that height and length '>f Uiw. with breadth of chest, wero iioedi. 1 gilts • I nature to utilize thorn—men like “nob Boy” or “Mahmud Ohuzni,” whose hands hung below thoir knees.

About twenty year* ago I discovered a little sore on my cheek, and the doctors pr*-’ ■onneed it cancer. I have tried a number of physicians, out without receiving any perma nent benefit. Among the number wero one or two specialists. The medicine tncy applied was like fire to tho sore, causing intense pain. I saw a statement in the papers telling what S.
