a Fieroe Bird Broom the See.
From the PhIlndeIphia Press.


Capt. Fausset of the British steamship
Lord Lansdowne, from Ardrossan,
Scotland, captured while at sea most
peculiar bird. 1t is still held captive
on board, being penned up in the lower
chart room. 1t is very fierce, and the
captain $ large dog is afraid to venture
near the peculiar bird. Ever since its
capture it has been feeding on raw meat,
which is thrown in the window gratings
Early one morning when many hundred
miles from the shore, the bird was seen
lowering about in the locality OF the ship
and finally it landed exhausted on the
foretopmast, where it was captured with
some difficulty by the boatswain. When
brought TO the deck its craw was found
to be empty but it refused everything
offered until the steward threw into the
quarters where it was confined piece Of
canned beef, which it ate. Upon becom-
ing rested the bird grew very fierce, and
the sailors ere afraid to go near it. It
is not known TO what species the bird
belongs. It's head resembles somewhat
that of an owl, but the body is like n
chicken, only the wings are much larger
and appear more powerful.
Capt. tausset believes the bird was
driven of shore in one Of the recent gales
He does not think ii is q sea fowl.

besides those whom he had sent to take
care of the ships. With these he set out
after the prisoners
They were overtaken after having
made about half the distance to Sunbury,
and not one of the British had made any
effort to escape. Before morning the
whole force was safe in charge of the
Americans at the post.
This affair was not very momentous in
its results and was completely over
Swallowed by the defeat while the Ameri-
cans and French sustained at Savannah.
Col, White reached his command before
the assault on the city, and in reporting
the affair at the OEeechee, to his COM
mander, spoke in the highest terms of
Joe, explaining fully his part in the cap
ture. Gen Lincoln was much pleased
with all who had taken part in the enter
prise and offered Joe a commission in the
Continental army Col. White promised
to see that Mrs. Warren would be well
taken care of If he would accept, and the
boy gladly did so. He served with credit
to himself and when the war closed no
bore the rank of first lieutenant.

State, however, reserves the right to be

1t Is pointed out, in defense of Mr..
Gresham, that Bismarck did the same,
even seeing the minister of the United
States before allowing an ambassador of
France to be ushered into his presence.

exclaimed in this connection.
In Justice TO the Italian ambassador it
should be said that he does not admit
having made any such remark. If he did
say 1t he must have spoken intra muros
or sussurrardO sub rosa, for as Mr..
Gresham himself declares, Vava persona

scholar is hired by the state department

circumstance. A curious outcome of the

THE Willy BRITON.
Sir Julian Pauncefote is the only one of
the foreign ministers in Wa. hington who
shows no disposition to enter the league
against Secretary Gresham. But as the
British ambassador, he is compelled to
act in accordance with a series of instruct
ions laid down at the time of the Sack
ville-West incident. For instance no
diplomatic representative Of Great Brit
ain is permitted to spend the period of
presidential campaign within our borders.
Nor may he now answer letters from I'M

instructions in the matter of speech max

Christian Temperance Cure for Snake
bite.
From the Florida Times Union.


Minnville, Fla, oct. Ell send you
recipe for the bite of rattlesnake that
will warrant TO cure in ninety-nine out Of
every hundred cases | have known it
tried for the last forty years in Illinois,
and have used it on several animals that
were bitten by rattlesnakes since coming
TO Florida, and have never known it to
fail in a single instance.
Thoroughly soak the wound and swelled
part with pure hogs lard, and let the pa
tient drink one-half pint of this melted
lard. In severe cases repeat it in half an
hour, and give all tue sweet milk that the
patient can drink This kills the poison
almost Immediately and the swelling Will
disappear in a few days. A horse or q
COW must be drenched with much larger
dose, but dogs will eagerly eat lard and
drink milk, even when their heads are so
swollen that their eyes are closed and
the yellow saliva is running from their
mouths.
Don't call in a doctor if bitten by rat
tier (as they are more dangerous than
the snake), but use the remedy, and

DEATH OF A ROYAL AFRICAN.
Alexander Beokwell, Once Slave,
Lived to be over 100 Years Old.
Prom the Now Nnrl, Tines

New Orleans, Oct. 26.-Alexander Beck
well, a centenarian, who was induced
when young man to come to America
from Africa, and was sold at auction as
slave, died in ihis city yesterday. Eighty
five years ago Alexander was looked upon
by many of the African negroes as their
next leader. Although a boy he was
strong, daring, and a general favorite.
An English trading vessel touched near
his home for the purpose of kidnapping or
inducing some of the natives TO embark
for America, where they could be sold at
auction as slaves. The white men on
board painted glowing pictures Of Ameri-
can life to the black visitors, and it was
not difficult to persuade Alexander to-
make the journey. He was a prize, and
the traders expected q good amount for
him. Besides, he was of royal blood.
When the ship reached America the
natives were taken TO Virginia and dis
posed of at public sale When il was
royalty there was some lively bidding for
him, and finally he was knocked down to
planter in Virginia of the name Of
Beckwell. He soon mastered the English
language, and on the death Of his master
he was sold to a Georgia planter, and
later to u Louisiuuian in Rnpides Alex
ander remained in Rapides until after the
war, when he came to New Orleans He
was married and had several children
and grandchildren He recently cele-
brated his one hundredth birthday. He
died of old age.

New York Oct. 2S.-When Thomas F.
Bavard arrived in England in the ca
pacity of our first ambassador at the
court Of St. James it was with a deter
mination to carry out certain agreements
entered into by him with private parties
before he lefU this country. They had
reference to the Imprisonment of Mrs.
MAVERICK and to the detention of several
persons in English prisons on charges Of
pernicious activity in Irish affairs Mr..
Bayard, like most of his predecessors,
found it expedient to rely upon the supe-
rior knowledge Of Mr.. Henry White, our
veteran secretary Of legation in London,
in opening negotiations Mr. White
thereupon assured Mr. Bayard that it
would be useless to attempt anything in
Mrs Maybricks behalf, and letters to
that effect were received in New York
by those persons who had been seconding
Gail Hamilton's efforts In behalf of the I'M
happy woman. Our ambassador was
then accused, rightly or wrongly,
of taking no interest in a
cause espoused by the late re
