The coolie was a Chinaman who agreed to leave his -toountry for a term of years ,at stated, wages^but after a while vessels . were fitted* ?but and dispatched to various islands in . tho' Pacific and other seas, 'Y^?ud thousands pf natives wore ab ducted?&ui?? *oK? into* p?rji?tual'ismT-. . . ery.* -These' abducted "people also . ..qame to be callocb coolies. ' Soon 'after1 .v the trade opened the Chin?se govern ment, which received, so much for ;e\ery, coolie ahipped-away, began send rT~ ?ag dffiit? 'offender's- and malefactors' along with honest laborers. Instead of giving a'th??f the bastinado;.be was ;t Bent to the coolie barracks; instead of. lopping off the head of a pirate'hie was deported. Among evory-500 . coolies were at least 100 malefactjrs, add re . volts at sea were of frequent occur rence; sp*', ?[h?? yo?r. 18rJS xerdutebu vessels itt the c?*6lie trade were either , j.bu?ned at sea or captni-?tr>by'th? na-'] \V,.;iives aboarcl; and in case of capture . not a man was spared. ' ' - Our ship, the Princess, of New ' York, was . lyiug at Macao, south of ;i Hong-Kong, in ihefa'r of 1868, when four, differ, nt craft, were loading with coolies at 1 be same time. Macao was one of tlu. great shipping points, and %flr?ryfch:ng was carried on . auder th? supervision of government officials. I ,v saw a Brazilian ;brig take on 480 '''coolies, au d a worse lot of men could nofc possibly have beea-scraped to >' gather in any country. -^They wero to be housed betweeu decks, and the brig carried two cannon and tea soldiers to j?eop them in1 stfb;ection. They must be looked after as sharply as convicta | '/on their way to" Australia in the old days of the penal settlements. This brig, which waa called , the Don,' got away a week ahead of us, and, through some blunder, with only a few of her .waterrcasks' filled. Sha had head ds for five davo, sad - we fiuallv fore she had 'made 300 - teraocD, ' and were carried 'down Co j within a mile of her before we lost 1 . steerageway.

The brig* was all right, so far as we could obserye,, and we-had no partic ular interest in watching her. About . nine o'clock, however^ we .were all "startled into sudden "activity by a most-horrible din from the coolie. It seemed as if two or, three, hundred 'voices' were y?lliug in chorus, and the sound did not v cease until broken in upon by the reports of firearms. "I'll tell you' exactly what's taking place on boar cl that Io How," said the - mate, who had been listening intently.

But it wasn't yet 10 o'clock when the brig launched '-?. a boat, five men got into her, and in a very few minutes she waa. alongside, and a man who announced himself as the mate of^th?r'cooli? was on deck. Everybody knew his errand. We ?ad plenty o?.*" freshwater, but would -/OUT captain*spare him a single pint? Most sailors ' hated coolies as no other clajs did, and our captain had gone about that evening with i round oaths falling off his lips to think that he had one under his nose aud was helpless. If he refused to spare the water the poor , wretches would die; if he let it . go they would be spared for a life of slavery. The man who boarded us was a Spaniard, and he had a surly countenance and disagreeable voice. He didn't beat about the bush at all, but walked up to our captain, who was standing stiffly on the quarter-deck, touched his hat and said: u "J're. maifl-oi^ike.-trip- yoncrer ant} am sent to see ii you can spare us a . few casks of water.- Through a.blun der1 we left Macao short,land w?; can't putin anywhere until we get a breeze.

"The main - thing now is -to get water for the heathens; If we don't get it, not one. of them will be alive by tomorrow uight.'' Our captain hung out for a while.

We knew that the outbreak was serious, for "the hubbub iuoreasejd, and we ' could see the crew rushing wildly about- There was a continued pop of.niusketry, ?nd M-e became so excited that every man iu the ship, cook iucluded, hurritd ? oft to lookdowu upon tho stranger's decks. As we lay broadside to each, pther, aud the distance was so short, we could see all that took place. j De spite, tho desperate voffor4svof the crew, t:ie coolies were finding their way OSP* deck. They were shot and clubbed - ami hacked, bin they came faster jthan they could be taken care of, and in half au hour from-the time'the mata's boat left us, the'Chinese had posses sion of at least one-half tue brig^They got hold of some of the muskets and cutlasses, and they knew how to use tlje former,as. w?ll as the sailors.

Thiree of the'crew saved their lives for the time being by running aloft, but all the others seemed to havo been killed. You cannot suppose that' we were quiet spectators of such a scene.' -' We wanted to be called away to help sup press the outbreak, but our captain had a mortal hatred for coolies aud announced that he would not interfere in the' slightest. It cut us men, though,to see the ?rew making a fight against such odds, and gradually fall ing back and fighting to the last, with out getting our help. When the grand rush was made, and the remnant of the crew driven aloft, 41 sort of groan went, through our ship, and more than, one man muttered against our cap-i tain's policy. - When the Chiueso got full possession many of them drank sea water, and "-it was only a short time before a cask of rum was^broached jaud seV.ved onf, to all.

The bodies of the dead sailors were stripped naked, kicked about 'the decks and mutilated in the most hprribie manner, and .then flung overboard. At the very first splash* w[? saw^qt least a dozen shark* inake for the spot, and after that their dorsal fins wore'cutting 'itlie "Water in every direction. . . ;. -As-I-told- yon-beforerthrerof- the brig's crew escaped instant death by running aloft) where they were for the time forgotten. " They went as high as they could go and .concealed themselves as well as possible. They dared not shout to us, but they implored us by gestures to come to their relief, and gaye us to understand that the coolies supp'osed'our baric to be loaded with Chinese also," and that we would be attacked in an effort to set them free. They also made it clear, the night being almost as light as day, that the fallows had a score of muskets, -aud we . could easily understand that a sharp cutlass in the hands of a des perate coolie would be a wicked weapon. "Down with yon; lads, and prepare to defend the ship with your lives," called the. captain, and every man re sponded with alacrity. As we had no firearms of any con sequence, everything which could 'be used as a missile or weapon was speed-i -Hy- gathered" and every '"utensil"'Jin. which" water /ccmjrd beilba ted. tfafc placed oh the stove in the cook's gat ley. We opened the midship-hatch and broke ont of the cargo a lot of pressed brick which had been ordered by a contractor at Singapore. They weighed about five pounds each, and we piled up n-thousand or moro ' at different points on the deck. We were still handling the bricks when the Chi nese suddenly remembered the three sailors in the rigging of the brig, and eight or ten started aloft after them. The sailors called ont to our captain1 for God's sake to come to their relief, r?nd he answered them tua our own . position was so full of peril that he did not dare send off a boat The coolies were vfery agile fellows, and as they drew near the sailors we saw the latter were-prep?r?ng to ??apinto the? sea. The idea was appalling, not only on account bf. the great height, bnt . those wicked dorsal tins were cutting the water about the brig in a way to make us shiver. The moment finally caine when the first sailor dropped from the eUd of a yard, and he was speedily followed by his companions. Each 8truok the water with au awful i splash, went out of sight, and nothing iurther was ; seen of them. If they were stunned by the fall so much the better. i It was about ll o'clock when the coolies made ready to attack us. The brig had three b?ats which they could get at, and each boat was crowded with men. They had muskets, cut lasses, eapstan-bnrB, belaying ?ins and other weapons, and while they were making preparations they kept up a yelling and whooping which . would have don o cr?dit * to Indians. Those who wore to remain aboard j defied andtaunted us and evidently 'considered us certain victims. I don't think any man of us felt what people call fear as we saw the threa boats leave the brig and pull toward us, but we could be forgiven for doubting whether we had strength to beat them off. The boats kept together, and it was evident that they meant to board on tho same side. This was the better for ns.. Our bricks and other weapons were hastily.moved, and while we were at* this work the captain stood on the rail and shouted to the coolies and warned them to keep off*. The answer to this was a shot from a musket, and the bullet whistled so close to his head that he lost no time in getting .off the rail. We.saw that we had got to tight, and we were as ready as we could be when they laid us aboard. Fortunatolyfor us ?hey had no strat egy about them, but the three boats pulled together for our bows aud hooked on in ? crowd. The bark had very high bulwarks, and the Chinese, even with their muskets, could do us no damage. We had but one poiut to ,defendj and a score of brickbats and a couple of pails bf hot water took tho saud out ofthe crowd pretty quick. lu three minutes after getting under our bows they realized that they had cut out a larger job than they could manage, aud they were a well-scalded set as they let go and .pulled to the brig. Three-fifths of the crowd had beeu left on board, and the failure of the ??atfaok-wa-sgueeted with'Such yells as mortal man.never heard- before.- The boats were not hauled up at all, and the beaten coolies were uo sooner aboard the brig than a terrific,, fight took place, which did not stop until 25 or 30 had been knocked on the" head and flung over to the sharks. .About midnight the boats were filled with men to attack its again, but.lhere was a great jabbering ... and the plan was At 1 o'clock the though the. breez . was-a light one. all the circumsta ?d?jabt, nuc?'he c?

The brig was turning round and round on her keel when last we saw her, aud some of the fellows were aloft trying to loosen, the ' sails. Thirty hours later we met H. M. >S. Defianco, and gave her captaiu the brig's bearings, but it was a full year before I learned any further particulars. After a cruise of a week the man-of-war found the craf t bottom up at sea, a long way from where we left her, with never a sign of a human being, dead or alive, in her vicinity. She ha'd probably been caught in a squall, and as the coolies knew 'nothing of seamanship the brig had turned turtle aud drowned them to the last man. New York Sun. How Div II.orH3.-i Died.

X The thing about it which was ! strenge to me was that the horses 1 which were untouched seemed sleepy 1 -they gave no evidence of excitement ?except a slight pricking of the ears J .toward the bill. One almost wondered if they suspected that things were not right. Even the blood which was all 1 about on the sands, from horses and 1 men, did not have its general effect of scaring them. Why do not horses die for their country? They do not have a pre vious intention of BO doing-the act is not voluntary. Well, possibly. Neith er does a conscript die voluntarily, or a man put war-stamps on checks vol untarily, but it's for the country jiiBt the. same.

The great Napoleon egorded military balloons as of "no strategical importance." He i was Lccompanied by a ballooning corps luring his second campaign in Egypt, mt the wagons containing the acces sories fell into British hands, and this calamity no doubt influenced his jpinion. However, since those days nilitary balloons have done good work m many occasions, and it is con idently expected that their advent in ?he Transvaal will afford many lessons CIRCUH-LIKE FEAT IN THE FIELD. n the possibilities of ballooning in carfare. The British balloon division is fully equipped for the work it is to per form. The chief work which it will be expected to execute may be summed ap as follows: First, to discover the whereabouts of the Boers hidden in BALLOONING TRA! cover; second, to make observations !>.ud to take photographs; third, to ?arry dispatches. .

Each balloon will carry two persons-one in the oar and the other in the netting These balloons are made of gold beaters' skin, which is far superior in every way to silk. Eaoh balloon will be placed on a wagon and drawn by twelve horses to the scone of opera tions. The gas will be conveyed in wagons drawn by & steam traction engine or by four horses. This gas is stowed in steel cylinders, 110 cylinders being required to fill one balloon of 10,000 cnbic feet capacity. Hitherto one cause of great concern in the ballooning operations has been the difficulty of obtaining a balloon sufficiently steady to ensure the mak ing of accurate observations. It has also been feared that the difficulties attending the manufacture, handling and - conveyance of the gas might prove insurmountable. In order that this may not prove a stumbling block in the Transvaal, the British army is being also furnished with equipment for the rapid ereotion of observation towers. The care of these is entrust ed to the Boyal Engineers, a section of the British army whose operations have always been distinguished by excellence of work.

There is no substance in the fable, hongh so circumstantially related, hat, in 1636, in company with his ionsin Hampden, despairing of his ?onutry, he took his passage to Amer ca, and that the vessel was (topped by in order in Council. All the -proba ?lities are against it, and there is no ividence for it.
