with two short masts and jib. The
calking was coming out of the seams.
she had no bulkheads or strengthening
braces, or any similar device of marine
architecture. The only living things
aboard were one man, his wife, two chill
dren, and dog.
These adventures were all the way
from some interior point in Arkansas, on
their way to Florida, without knowledge
or even chart, ehronometer, or other
maritime appliances. There was no
water aboard, and but little provisions.
The captain of this nondescript must
have been reading some dime novel, and
probably thought he could hitch up at
night, get water and provisions, and go
ahead whenever he desired. He had, he
said, been six years building this craft.
The people aboard were rescued from
death, and brought to the city.

In an African Forest.

At this juncture the native guides ar
rived, having followed in our footsteps,
anxious to see the result of our self-guid-
ance. Wishing to transfer my response
bility to other shoulders offered them a
present of cloth if they would lead us
through the trackless forests to the pre-
cincts of Rombo; whence l knew we
could find our way unaided to Taveita.
They consented and once more we entered
/ the .duslxy woods, Following g1as;
course by means of the rough paths
which elephants had just made. Often
the long-stemmed flowers, and crushed
stained grass would be slowly rising erect
again from the PROSTATE position into
which they had been trampled by the
feet of the clumsy proboscidians, these
lords of the forest who had Just preceded
us. Indeed, from time to time they
would make their presence known by
sonorous trumpeting, but as they were
quite aware of our proximity they took
good care to conceal their huge bodies
The underground was so dense that YOU
might have touched an elephant in your
groupings before you saw him; but above
this dense tangle of six or seven feet in
height rose the straight smooth trunks of
superb trees; indeed, the timber l saw
here was exceptionally fine. The gloom
of the forest was intensified by the enor-
nous masses of orchilla-weed which grew
thickly on the upper branches of the
trees, in such manner as to suggest a
gray, green cloth being thrown over the
foliage. The density of the woodland
growth was almost appalling; we felt like
insects creeping and twining through the
interstices of the mighty trunks. As we
preferred to 60 whittier the elephants had
forced way, our course was naturally
an crratic one, and several times the men

Turkish Public Amuscmenis.

The public amusements of the Turks
consist of meydan-oyoonoo, kara-g'soz. and
the meddah. Meydan-oyoonoo is a sort
of low burlesque, acted by men only and
without a stage, the changing of cos
tunes being effected behind Temporal
ry screen. The kara-g'eoz is the Turk
ish "Punch and judy" rendered in
shadows, white sheet being stretched
across one of the angles of the room di-
agonally, forming the base of a triangle,
behind which the performer takes his
stand, and by the force of a strong light
casts the shadows of coming events on
the sheet, And the meddah is the fa-
nous story-tcllcr of the East The alb
scnce of works of fiction, and the general
ignorance of the people, who do not
even know how to.read, make the narra-
tives of the meddahs quite acceptable to
the public, who flock to hear them for
pastime, for the love of the marvellous is
too powerful in the warm and imagina-
tive nature of the people of that sunny
cline to remain without some develop
ment. Hence their popularity. Then,
again. these meddahs are not destitute of
dramatic power, enhancing their atten-
tive audiences by the magnetism of high
ly wrought fiction, exaggerated descrip-
ton, and effective mimicry. Indeed,
some of them have acquired a renown for
their speciality. Kiz-Ahmed, or Lady
Ahmed, is so named on account of his
successful ability in "taking Off the la
dies, and Pidjemir is noted for the "pa-
thetic." They exercise certain coup de
theatre of their own, and are by the ex-
cited fancies of the people invested with
a genii-like power, as they condense into
a passing hour the scenes of an eventful
life, OF detail the entertainments of fairy
dom. In fact, these meddahs occupy
the Oriental lecture field, and on festive
occasions provide most welcome part OF
the entertainment. Their tales, general.
ly vulgar, to suit public taste, are often
not devoid of some good moral, and
their comicalitias hold up some popular
vice to public derision. -Hayper'S Basar.
