. PERLEY’S RSMINISCENCSa 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. Painless Regulation. It Is no longer u <jcsi!on of doubt —although the contrary was rfneo believed that medicines which produce violent effects are unsulted to other than desperate emergencies.

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 knew whither. He left bixji timeless grand child a care upon strangers. The boy grew to manhood, and was killed in one or tho frontier Indian fights before the revolution ary war.
