FIDDLING FOR TURKEYS.

miles over rough road, finally camping
near Darling Bayou on high cane ridge.
They took a live wild turkey gobber that
had been trained, along with them in a
box. The next morning before daybreak
was named Fox.
I'VE took our way through a most
abominable thicket," he continued. AZ
ter passing through the cane we got into
briers and tangled vines. In the dark
ness we foundered over logs and through
water, at times waist deep, for four or

FIREBALL STRUCK THE SHIP.
The Steamer BeIgenIand Boarded by
visitor From the Heavens.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times
The steamship Belgenland of the Ameri-
can line, put into this port yesterday af-
ter making her fastest trip from Liver
pool. She was in command of Capt Dux-
rod, formerly of the Switzerland, and he
reported that she had pleasant sailing un-
til Sable Island was reached, when a
severe storm set in. which was followed
by q wonderful electrical display that
startled all who saw it.
Shortly after midnight on Thursday
morning a bowling gale whistled through
the rigging of the vessel and the snow
came down, giving the spars, rigging and
deck a coating of white. The snowfall was
only of brief duration and was followed
by shower of warm rain. Nothing was
thought of this at first, but when there
was what the crew believed to be a flash
OF lightning there was much wonderment.
This was followed by another flash and
simultaneously there was a crack of thun-
der and ball of fire ran down the main
mast.
1t seemed to glow with an intense heat
and il illuminated masts and rigging with
an unusual light. The sailors ran aft and
the watch stood still and looked, paralyZ-
ed with establishment. When the big ball
reached the deck 1t separated into hun
dreds or atoms, going IN almost as many
directions. After it had vanished in the
air there arose from the deck Of the yes
sci sulphurous odor. No damage was
illogical visitor left no evidence of its
visit
The captain said he did not know much
about meteors or hreballs, which, by the
friction of their passage through the air,
lose all their solid constituents and are
then converted into gas. This one looked
very substantial for a while, but after all
IL was nothing but gas after the electric
fluid had exhausted itself The illumina-
ton did not last long, and several of the
crew, aroused blythe shouts of the watch,
arrived just in time to see the fire ball
disappear in blaze of glory. Some of the
sailors at first thought that the display re-
suited from the falling of the foremost
light, but they looked up and saw the
light still there. After the strang scene
the weather set in very cold and the mer-
curry in the thermometer fell until within
four pegs of the zero notch. Some of the
sailors had frost-bitten fingers. A few
hours afterwards another change in the
shape of a frosty fog rose out of the sea
and the sailors and the officers converset
with each other and wondered if the bal
of fire was not responsible for the sever,
climatic changes to which they We're heine
subjected Many of the superstitious o,
the passengers saw in the fire bail al
omen Of impending evil. and when tn,

MALAYs ARE PIRATES.
But Their Grimes Are Much More

From the Pail Mall Gazette
In the Malay peninsula piracy has de-
cllned considerably since the expedition of
twenty years ago, but Perak, Salangore
and Romhow still distinguish themselves
now and again by a little undisguised
business of this kind. In China the two
great hotbeds of buccaneers are the places
which have been celebrated in this direc-

Annoy people proper, who speak the Annoy
dialect and live in the walled city, are
very quiet, peaceable and ORDERLY and
