Undergoing Quarantine in Syria-How
aYnnk.ee Fooled the M Ahometana.
Ben Per ley Poore in Boston Budget.
Quarantine! The word is a bugbear to
every Christian traveler in the Mediterra
nean. for what can bo more annoying than to
be imprisoned for forty days, more or less,
in, a filthy lazaretto. During the first two
nr three days he writes up his journal and
corespomlenee. then reads every guide-book
in his trunk or those of his companions, then
endeavors to pass his time in n doles for
niente state of listlessnew, and then (say the
fifth morning) lie strides up and down his
room and the adjoining yard, like a tiger in
his cage, anil wishes the plague would carry
off those who would put barriers in his waV
in the shape of quarantine. To tho Mussul
mans these sanitary prisons are still more
disgusting, for tbeir fatalist doctrines lead
them to believe that if Allah wills it the
plague canuot be kept away. “It is God’s
•will, God is great and Mahomet is his proph
et.” Quarantines are in their eyes an
infidel invention, andgreut is their delight
when they can subject a Christian to ite in
conveniences !
I had learned at Jerusalem, in 1845, that
a quarantine of thirty days hail been irn
posed at Alexandria on all travelers coming
from Jaffa, and to escape it, I had deter
mined to cross the desert to Grand Cairo,
Now in those days the plains of the Philis
tines were swarming with robliers, and hav
ing undertaken to escort the Kev. Mrs. I,idler
of Grand Cairo, with about 100 Copt Chris
tians who hail been celebrating tho “Holy
Week” at Jerusalem, the journey to Gaza
was a continued sham-fight. Mrs. Lieder,
in an account of it which she sent to the
London Missionary Magazine , made it a
retreat which eclipsed that of Xenophon,
hut no lives were lost, and although an
Arab sheik and his warriors looked very
formidable as they ride up with llieir long
guns and demand backsheesh (a tribute),they
quail before a brace of loaded pistols. It was
excessively annoying, though, to be stopped
every few miles by them, and have a long
altercation, during which there was always
clicking of locks, and I looked forward to
El Arish, Mahomet All’s frontier town, as
to the end of a vexatious escort duty. Once
there, the poor Christians anti their devoted
missionary would be safe, and I could strike
out in the desert as fast, as our attendant
train of baggage camels could keep up with
“Bellao,” the pet dromedary, whose saddle
I had converted into a perfect arsenal.
Three brace of loaded pistols and a jntaghan
are not very pleasant traveling compan
ions.
About 10 o’clock in the morning the mina
ret of El Arish came in sight, and I soon
saw the town, a wretched-looking collection
of mud houses. I was for trotting off at
once to enjoy that greatest of oriental lux
uries, a Turkish hath, but Achmet, the
liest of dragomans, and tho chief among
swindling servants, would not permit any
such undignified conduct. The town must
be entered “in state',” and after cursing the
camel drivers to his heart's content, he
formed them in a line behind my drome
dary, and then took the lead Of the proces
sion, with the “Stars and Stripes" of the
tout flag waving from his lance. It was his
evident intention to make a sensation as
we threaded the narrow streets, and then,
when his tents were pitched and my wants
were supplied, he would strut off to the cof
fee-house, to narrate wonderful stories of
his lord and master from “ Yen a Danin," or
the New World. The said personage, by
the way, had expended all bis cash in fitting
out his caravan, and my whole cash capital
at the time was about $4; this Achmet was
not aware of.
On I went in great style, but just as I
arrived in front of the gate, for El Arish
is a walled town, out came a cavrass,
bearing the silver- headed stick of author
ity, and pulling his fine mare up in front,
shouted, with a sardonic grin, “Quaran
tino!”
“Quarantino!” echoed Achmet. “Quaran
tine!’’repeated the camel drivers, and the
cook, and the coffee maker, and little Alee,
the pipe bearer.
It was even so. The Bey of Cairo had
sent a canvass the day previous to El Arish,
with orders to the Governor to make all
coming into the Egyptian territory pass
thirty days in quarantine, and my guardian
marshalled me to a sand bank where the
tents were to be pitched. Mrs. Lieder
and her party were sent in another direc
tion.
There I was, sure enough, in quarantine,
after going to so much trouble in order to
avoid it, and there was no visible way of
feeding eight men, four camels and a drome
dary for thirty days with $4- The sun came
down with great power through the canvas
tent, the sand drifted in, and there was
nothing to be seen save the miserable
town, from which a stream of half-clad
but closely-veiled women constantly poured,
to fill their water pots at the well, car
rying them away when full upon their
beads.
In the afternoon the Governor paid us a
visit, and the guardians having drawn a
line on the sand, I squatted down on my re
spective side, and held a pow-wow through
the interpreting medium of Achmet. “The
Europeans,” the Governor said, “had per
suaded Mehemet Ali, to establish quaran
tines, and it was well I should submit at
once; he had his orders and should enforce
them." “But these poor pilgrims,” I re
marked, “wlioare with Mix. Lieder, they
have not money enough to keep them thirty
days.” “The Govornor says in reply,” said
Achmet, “that if they' wilf submit to a puri
fieationby water, if you will dip yourself
and everything you have in the sea, you can
go on at once.”
This was aggravation, for I knew, and so
did the Governor, that my embroidered
< treek dress ami rich arms would lie spoiled
by the salt water, not to mention sundry
pieces of Brrmssa silk in one ol my trunks,
selected in tho Constantinople bazars for
fair Parisian friends. It would never do to
spul all these, and yet the idea of thirty
days confinement in such a miserable hole
was horrible to contemplate, to say nothing
of the lack of funds. When tho Governor
had left, I retreated to our tent, and throw
ing myself upon the mattress, which was “a
'"•d by night and a divun by day,” I set my
wits at work, “Eureka!” was my joyful
exclamation, after an hour’s hard thinking,
(lapping my hands, Achmet made his ap
pearance, and I told him to send word to the
Governor that at sunrise the next morn
ing I would go down to the seaside, bag
9 'id baggage, aud submit to a purification
by water.
That evening, about, an hour ufter the
sun had dived flown into the glnssv Medi
terranean, the shrill voice of the Moeditin
from the minaret summoned the faithful to
their e/ eshah, or evening prayers. All
I hen was still in El Arish save the barking
G the flogs. Aelmietand my head guar
Ulan sat cross-legged at. n little charcoal lire,
enjoying a jeff, which may bo translated
stating, with ac/Whoa/.-tilled with Persiau to
b'lt'io and an occasional cup ot strong coffee,
i add'd to t heir enjoyment by giving them
a bottle of brandy, for Turks love liouor
jG'en they can get it on the sly, and shut
ting the canvas curtains of my tent, I com
“wicrt operations.
“il h the aid of a tin washbasin and my
t p usty yataghan, 1 dug a large hole in the
tand, mid mit buried all our goods and
chattels which water could injure, then
smoothed over the surface, and wont to
(‘rep, quite fatigued, for it was something
a job.
Iho fl fcugr was proclaimed from the
hiiuaret an Tiour and a half before sunrise,
"amingall orthodox Mussulmans that they
burnt rise, perform their required ablutions,
J"d Kay their morning prayers. About
1 < ''clock the Governor came out on his proud
Arabian, followed by a cavalcade, and at
tended by half the population of El Arish,
jdl anticipating rare sport. I had struck
tents, and wus waiting with the camels
loaded to fall into the procession. The pots
and kettles, however, were left behind, as
there was a belief that iron would not eom
tuunicate the plague: and the centre tent-
Polos, of iron, were left standing. Little
"■d those Turks and A rubs ween that one of
loose iron rods was planted over a rich
pneke as the Canadian voyugeur* called
beir liidduu deposits.
ite purification by water was duly and
thoroughly performed. Myself, ray ser
vants, m}’ camels, my dromedary, my bag
gage, my tents, and all that I had brought
to iue water’s edge, was soused and bespat-
wid great was the joy of the citizens
oi El Arish at the spectacle. When all was
properly purified, the dremhed party re
turned, the tents were pitched, not moving
tho poles, or rather rods, and after ilrying
niy effects in the scorching rays of the sun,
reflected from the white sand, I retreated
into my tent, avowedly for a uap. In an
hour I had all my property above ground
again, and late that afternoon I loaded up
the camels, filled the goat-skins with a ten
days supply of fresh water, and struck out
into the sandy waves of the desert. Even
Achmet, who, like all rogues, was quick
witted, never suspected the Yankee trick,
for he was so busy in attending to the puri
fication of his own traps and the cooking
utensils, that he never noticed the smallness
of my baggage submitted to a purification
by water.
A QUEER CREATURE.
Jean Rocet Tells of the Peculiarities of
His Physical Make-Up.
A dispatch from Wabash, Ind., to the
Cincinnati Enquirer says: The people of
Wabash will not soon forget the awful heat
of lost Saturday and Sunday, when the
brassy skies looked down upon the white
limestone which glowed in the hot sunshine
and sent up currents of heat if anything
more unbearable than the burning rays
that descended from above. On the
evening of that sweltering Saturday your
correspondent met a being so strange and
out of harmony with his surroundings that
a repetition of his wonderful story can not
fail to interest the render, oven though that
reader may take no thought of its scientific
phase, which, if it has a counterpart in the
whole world of exiierience, is unknown to
the writer. Just at dark the writer, as he'
was passing the Wabash depot, trying in
every possible way to keep cool, noticed a
large-sized man standing near the depot
building, apparently just arrived on an in
coming tram. He lookod like a laboring
man, and would not have attracted attention
anywhere except for one tiling: He was
dressed in heavy winter clothing, such as no
sane man would have worn with the ther
mometer at 9ti% as it wus then. Was he
an invalid, whose blood was too thin and
poor to be affected by the terrible heat, in
common with his fellows? He was too
vigorous and healthy-looking, and that the
ory had to be abandoned. Was he a tramp,
whose wadrobe did not afford a hot weather
suit? He did not look like a tramp; be
sides, he had on surplus clothing, even to an
overcoat that he might have carried. Ho
did not look heated. On the other hand,
he had much the appearance of a man
chilled and suffering with the cold. His
overcoat collar was turned up about his
ears and his hands were thrust deep into
his pockets. The Enquirer correspondent
had not watched him long until he grew
curious and concluded to investigate the
phenomenon. He accordingly took a
position near the stranger and remarked,
while be fanned himself vigorously with his
straw hat: “‘Tis warm to-night.” “Bo
they tell me,” replied the man in broken
English, with a mixture of French; “I do
not know.”
“But you certainly do not have to be told
that it is hot to-night,” said the correspond
ent, who was faintly suspicious that the
stranger was trying to “guy” him. A
closer inspection, however, showed him that
the man was not suffering from heat,
warmly as he was dressed, for there was
not a particle of perspiration about him.
“I have not been warm since last winter,
except when I was by a warm stove or in
bed,” said the stranger in a serious tone
that banished the idea that he was joking.
“Mine is a strange case,” he continued
“Would you care to hear it; it is not long?”
“I should certainly like to hear the
history of a man who is not warm to-night,
dressed as you are in heavy woolens,” said
your coi respondent.
“Well, then. I was born forty-two years
ago this month in a northern province of
Franco, in Alsace, of peasant parentage.
There is nothing in my history that is of
interest, but there is something in me that
has interested many—a peculiarity that has
puzzled science and that is without a
parallel in the whole world, so far as I
know or have ever heard. , The peculiarity
consists in the fact that when others are
warm lam cold, and vice versa. I shiver
with cold under a July sun, and swelter
with heat amid the snows of winter. My
name is Jean Rocet, and my father was a
laborer in a brewery in Alsace, and had a
large family, of which 1 was the youngest,
except one, a sister, who was born three
years later. None of my brothers or sisters
possessed my peculiarity. My mother first
discovered that I was not like other chil
dren when I was about one year and a half
old, before I can myself remember. My
parents and the neighbors were greatly
puzzled at the phenomena, but not more so
than were tho scientific men who examined
me in later years. 1 was the wonder of our
neighborhood as 1 grew up, for while other
children in winter went about In heavy
woolens, and shivered with cold at that, I
played by tho roadside wearing thin summer
clothing, while my Ixxl v was (lushed with
heat, and my face suffused with perspira
tion When summer came again, and birds
sang, and the sun’s fierce rays heat upon the
white roads of Alsace, and my little com
panions frolicked upon the green sward and
waded the brook, I cried with the cold and
sought warmth indoors. The seasons were
just reversed for me.”
“But when you touched the iceand snow,
were they not cold to you 1” was asked.
“Yes, as thv would be to you in the sum
mer (imn. Tne frozen ground, too, was
cold, but the icy atmosphere that swept
over it was as stifling to me as a sirocco.
What was most peculiar, perhaps, was the
fact that the lower tho thermometer sunk
the wanner 1 got, and the higher it arose
the colder it seemed to ine. To prove to
vou that this is not imagination with me,
feel of my hand,” said the stranger. The
scribe touched it. It was as cold as ice, and
tiie mercury stood at oti".
“I lived in Alsace until about ten years
ago, when I came to this country to work
at my trade, that of a stone-cutter. I have
lived'in Jersey City until a few days ago,
when I star tel West. lam unmaried, and
have never had a sick day in my life. That
is my history, and, ns you see, uneventful
enough, except for this peculiarity in my
physical make-up. which turns winter into
summer and balmy summer into dread
winter.”
‘•But can you think of no explanation
for tliis phenomena? What do scientific
men say of it?”
“Nothing that is not guess-work. It is
said that u few days before I was born the
hot July weather m Alsace was broken in
upon by a sevsre storm, in which the
elements were strangely mixed. Thunder
and lightning, combined with hail and even
snow, swept, in a furious torrent over
Alsace, and continued for more than
twenty-four hoars. Scientists connect the
storm with mv birth in explanation of my
peculiarity. But, after all, that explana
tion rests' upon unproved theory. I only
know the fact. Ido not attempt to explain
it.”
Your correspondent saw the fact, and
wa., himself amazed to see a man who could
so easily defy the power of Old Sol’s in
fluence.

THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. AUGUST 12, 1887.
THE HISTORY OF A SKULL.
Strange Facta in the Life of Lord
Altham.
A dispatch from Columbia, Pa., to the
New York Times says: There is iu tho
possession of a physician of this county a por
tion of a woman’s skull whieh was plowed
up in a field near the foot of the. Chiokies
Hills many years ago. The owner asserts
that it is tfie skull of a woman who was the
; daughter of one of the early settlers in that
I part of Lancaster county, ami who, but for
the sudden and untimely death of her
lover, would have become the wife of James
Annesley, Lord Altham, who succeeded to
the title and its estates in the county Wex
ford, Ireland, in 1743. The story that the
crumbling skull recalls is a pathetic romance
of the olden time.
Among the passengers on board of a ves
sel that landed in Philadelphia in tho early
summer of 1728 was a boy who said his name
was James Annesley. He was 13 years old,
and said he hail lieen placed on the ship at
Dublin by his uncle, who had deserted him.
The boy’s passage had not been paid, and as
his story was not believed by the captain of
the vessel he was sold, after the custom of
that day, to serve his purchaser until his
service had satisfied the amount paid for
him to the ship's captain. Unfortunates
of that kind were called “redemption
ers,” and as the rich agricultural
lands in Lancaster and adjoining coun
ties were then being taken up by set
tles and farm help was scarce in the coun
try, farmers owning such lands were always
on liana at the landing of every vessel from
abroad, with the hope of securing one or
more redemptioners to labor on the farms
they were making. The boy Annesley was
purchased by an old (lerman farmer who
owned a tract at the foot of the Ohiekies
Hills. He was put to work at farm drudgery,
and slaved for the farmer for over ten years.
Once during this term of service he at
tempted to escape from his master, but was
captured and locked in the log building
'which was then the county .iail, and stood
in what is now tho centre of the village of
Columbia. The building was still standing
within the recollection of middle-aged resi
dents of Columbia to-day.
The boy could have been kept prisoner at
the pleasure of his master, but the story is
that he was released at tho tearful solicita
tion of tho fanner’s daughter—a gir! one
year the junior of Annesley. The young
redomptiouer went back to liis drudgery on
tho farm and never attempted to escape
from it again. As he grew to manhood lie
developed a wild disposition,and the farmer’s
daughter, between whom and the Irish lad
a strong affection had grown, was the only
person who could hold him in check. The
girl’s father objected to the intimacy lx>-
tween Annesley and his daughter, and at
the end of 10 years tried to dismiss the
youth from his service andsirivo him away
from thy neighborhood; but the young man
refused to go. He said he intended to marry
the fanner’s daughter as soon as he could go
back to Ireland and recover the rights of
which lie had been robbed. The old Ger
man did not believe the stories Annesley
was in the habit of telling about his just
claim to wealth and rank in his native laud,
but the girl had the greatsst faith in them.
In the summer of 1740 two Irish immi
grants who had landed in Philadelphia and
were on their way afoot to a settlement on
the Susquehanna, in what is now Dauphin
county, while passing by the old German’s
farm stopped to ask for a drink of water.
Young Annesley happened to be the person
of whom they made the request. Noticing
that the men were Irishmen, ho asked them
from what part of Ireland they came. He
was told that they were natives of county
Wexford, and that they had been
tenants of Lord Altham, whose cru
elty had forced them and others
to leave Ireland and come to America.
Annesley surprised the two Irishmen, who
were brothers, named John and William
Brody, by tolling them he was James
Annesley, the real Lord Altham, and that
at his father’s death in 1728 he had been in
duced by his Uncle Richard to leave his
school in Dublin and go with him aboard a
vessel, which had sailed with him to Amer
ica. The Irishmen told him that the uncle
was in possession of the title and estates, he
having proved the death of his nephew,
James, and being the next of kin.
Arthur, Lord Altham, the father of
James, had married a natural daughter of
the Earl of Buckingham in 1714. Boon after
the birth of her son iu 1715 she and her hus
band separated. Lord Altham kept the
child, and formed a liaison with a young
Irish woman by the name of Gregory. Bhe
succeeded in creating in his heart a strong
dislike for the boy James, and the latter
was placed in charge of a school teacher iu
Dublin. The boy did not know who his
father was until the hitter's death, when his
Dublin guardian told him. His uncle took
him from the guardian under pretense of
conducting him to Wexford, but sent him
adrift to America, instead, and came into
the title and property.
The two Brodvs were satisfied beyond
doubt that the old German’s farm hand was
the real Lord Altham, and volunteered to
go back with him to Ireland and help him
to his rights. James Annesley went to
Philadelphia, and succeeded in interesting
Robert Ellis, a leading lawyer of that day,
in his cose. Ellis provided the young man
with passage and letters to Admiral Vernon
of the British Navy, who was the stationed
at the West Indies, and he forwarded
Annesley to England with strong
recommendations to influential parties.
The Brodys returned to Ireland
and put themselves at the command of the
claimant. Before lie had the proceedings
under way to recover his estates and title
from Iris uncle Richard Annesley he kifieri a
man in a brawl in Loudon, lie was arrested
and indicted for murder. His uncle used
money without stint to secure f lic young
man’s conviction, hut he was acquitted, it
having been shown that he killed the man
iu self-defense. The proceedings against his
uncle followed and resulted in the complete
success of the claimant's suit, in November,
1743.
A few months after James Anneeley left
Philadelphia to press his claim as Lord
Altham the old German’s daughter gave
birth to a child. Its paternity was never in
doubt, and on receipt of a letter from the
girl begging him to return and marry her
the claimant of the Altham estates and
title replied and renewed his promise to re
turn to America at the very earliest moment
practicable and fulfill his vows. He wrote
to the girl by every vessel, and on the an
nouncement of the decision of the court in
his favor sent her word that the next vess and
after the one that, carried the news to her
would have him ns a passenger to America,
whence he (could return hi his estates in
Ireland with her ns Lady Altham.
The defeated uncle and false Lord Altham
appeal' and from the decision of the court to
the House of Lords. While the case was
ponding there the young Lord Altham died
suddenly and mysteriously in his aptu truant
in London. Tin 1 undo then became Lord
Altham iu fact ami tho case was at an end.
The sad news of tlw young I/rrd’s death wax
carried to the expectant German girl in
America by one of the Rn>dy*, who had re
mained in England, intending to take ser
vice under the successful claimant. The
news uuhalanoed tin' mind of tho unfortu
nate girl and she died a hopeless nmniuo
three year* later. She was buried on her
father* farm, at. the spot when* the skull
was found 125 year* luter. The old German
sold the farm nftej life daughter's death, he
being n widower, an ! wont away, no one

child a care upon strangers. The boy grew
to manhood, and was killed in one or tho
