AX ADVENTURE WITH SMUG
GLERS.
Toll by a United State* Cuntom# Officer.
The ad vent are I am about, to rebite
occurred right, years ago, in the
nor ti-we-t part of Maim*, near t e
Canadian border. Our Governm<-iit
places a strict. tariff, or “duty,” on
muhv articles ol import, such as silks,
liquors, cigtiis, etc. Human nature
is very peivese, and. I am sorry to
say, there are men who try to evade
• t.c payment —iu other words “smug
gle.”
There hod been, for a number of
years, to, re or less smuggling in t at
section of the State, of whiskey, eloi I •
ing. guns, p stubs. These weie con
stant y brought across tl e lino and
sold; though, for lire most part in
small quantities.
A good many persons—tnos'ly tran
sit t and disrep daole fellows—were
in some way imerested in it. The sub
j ct. was one that nob dy said much
about, however; f>-r to come out
openly against the traffic would have
made secret enemies of a class that
mo-t persons would rather keep the
light side of.
The writer was then seventeen
years old. Though not much ac
quit nh'd with any of the smugglers,
I knew the country thereabout, as
well, perhaps hitter. than anyothir
peifion; for I had trapped and pros
p cted for lumber m tiie woods along
the border for two or thr, e veins.
That autumn I had two acres of
potutocs to dig. On th >sc two acres
I grew six hundred bushels. I was
nearly a fortnight harvesting the
crop. I
There ram** along one morniii'?, as
I was diggin-r, n stranger. He was
a tatter singular looking man;
<lark complexion*-*!, with a dam,
stubby b-ard, and had on a glnz 'i!
cap, 1 had s>*> n him coming across th**
fields, thiity or forty r* ds away, and
bo struck me as being an old fish,
ev* nat a distance. So I kept indus
tiioux’yat work, and wai id for him
to make his errand known
He began by leuiart ing - hat ir was
fit: weather for trapping. Then be
spoke of limit.ng c ribou u:> mi “tl e
Line:" asked abou: moo e there, and
wanted to ku w if I had ever rein
any O' her game up that way.
I felt that, the f U*w was sound rig
me lor some purpos • of hi* own, and
gave bri f answ er*, k-* rung hard at
work. This, however, did not hinder
me thorn s eing 1 hat he was observing
me c o?ely; and I began to get ang y
at.sttch cruel scrutiny from a stranger.
“Look here!” said I, at litiuta, :>
good deal out of patience; “what are
you ilriv ng at, any Imw? If you've
anybusiuess with me, vou u*i-ht a*
well s ate i‘.”
“All nght,'' said tbe stran-er, “I
se • you're a quare man. Wouldn't
you like to malm an tie money easier
than by di :ging potatoes?”
“Vet*. 1 key,” I said.
• So I thought.”
He then went on to *ay H at he wa*
mov ng in o the State, and hud a
qu n it\ ol baggage up at Lake Me
guntie ( n Canada), which h wanted
to get, down, and ended by offering
me SIOO to make five trips with him
Ihrough the wood- a loss Tie norder.
“You migi t ns well say that y-*u
are s * uguling,” I observed.
“Oi*. I don’t cat 1 It by tbnt name
at all ”
“Call it what you've a mind to,” I
said laughing y.
“But eau'i I get you to help tre ?
You were recommended to me,” lie
said
“No, sir!"
‘•But why n-it?”
“That a my business,” I told him.
Somewhat to my surprise, 'he mini
’ egan to laugli heartily. He then
drew out a paper and asked me to
lead it.
“You had better no* show me any
of your papers,” I said, resuming my
work. “Pm no friend of vou smug
gling fellows. You might as well put
it up nnil be goi g.”
“Oh, I*ll look out for mwcT,” said
lie. “You just read that.”
I took it, mid saw that it was an
official commission to Oliver C. Stuart
as a United States customs officer
aud detective.
“Is this yonr name ?” I asked.
“It is,” said Mr. Stuart; and from
a certain change in bis voice arid air.
I saw tlmt he hud previously been as
luimng a part.
“Well," said I, “y u've fooled me.
I suppose ' hat is part of your tra le.
I u* 1 guess you huv irt got much
information.
“On, 1 have learned what I want
ed, and that is your honest opinion
of smuggling.
“Any man is welcome to that,”
T retorted.
“What do von sav to going on ti e
other Lack, then?” questioned Stu
art. He then told me that he bad
been sent to di cover and arrest u

ing along that fronti r, and off rod
mo s2!> a week to go him. What lie
wanted was to avail h msc.f of my
knowledge * f the country,
I wished particularly to earn a
hundred dollar* t at. tall, but I refus
ed his off r. 1 knew that to aid a
deli ctive would g.-t me into trouble.
I should bo sp** ted, and likely enough
waylaid sonm night.
But Stuart ca ne nga n the next
day. He had an oily, flattering tongue
amt h • said ii 1 would do my best )0
help him w. rk up i his job, hu would
get, me into ti.e detective service,
where a keen young fellow I k my e.f
(sueli were his words) could soon
make a fortune.
A great many hoys of seventeen
wou'il lie caught !>y such an offer. 1
was caught, and took a week's pay
in advance to consummate the ar
rangeim nt.
The next week we set off, disguised
as two mink trappers, and sp, m near
ly a toiti.ighl wandi ring about the
boundary, p.eking up such inf ,ma
ion as the settlers on each side were
indiscreet enough to give w.
Thi re was but one rod across the
line, through tlie w lucrmss from
Canada to Maine; but th, re was a
number of bear paths, and old tote
roads.
One of these, called Durbce's tote
trail, wu watched consist: y tor live
days, on a hint dropped by an old
French settler. Certain signs mid
tracks indicated that lucre bad then
recent passing and repnsmng; but
thus far we had not seen any person
I upon ir.
Early the six'h morning, we set off
|to follow t.he ti ail up to Mcpun ic.
| We had not gone a hundred rt.su, and
were still on the Maine side of th*
| line, when we heard voices ahead, arid
■ had jus lime to sip into the firs be
side tit 3 path, when two men came
I in s*giit with packs on their backs,
j Wo look a good look at their faces
a* they passed, but. Stuart did not
attempt to a rest them. They were
both \oung in* n, an l had bulky pucks.
I was evident hey had not come v ry
far ih t morning, lor it wa* scarcely
sunrise wli -a they passe !us There
was a tr. s y dew on the gr-ss and
taisiu s.
As soon as *h y w v* out of bear
ing we cam-* from our p ace of con
ceidmcut an*l follow back on their
trail to Mn e th* m, f p* s ii le, To their
camp, which Stuart bought w u*l

storing control) rid good-*.
But for the frosty dew we would
not have found i*. Some two mil* s
lurthi-r up, and just ov* r the line,
there was a thick second growth of
cruh lit* and spruce. Ten or a dozen
years pr* vious-v toe lumb* tna* n Imd
cut off the old growth. The tracks
in the frost at ti.is p iut turned trmti
tin* trail and led into this dense green
t ieket.
We followed cautiously in, and, af
ter bi'ii * ing alii ut uwhbu. siumb'ed
on a.i o**l luinbui-eatnp, where in:

“Here’s their dt n !” Stuart whis
l*eiTil.
We peeped about, it; then appro idl
ed cloi-er, and looked in a c in , hi
twixt the logs- No person was in the
camp.

ran Ins eye over it, aud sail there
was ut least a thousand dollars’
worth.
“A good haul I” he chuckled.
“But it is over the line,” I said.
“We can t touch ’em over here.
“See if I don’t!" laughed Smart.
“In Mich a ca*e as this, i ll take the
risk. I‘vc se*n ’em carrying the stuff
across. And in this ont-of-the-way
hole, it is not easy proving just where
the line is.
Ho lmil hardly uttered llm words
when we heard voices in the firs out
side and c!ose by.
“They've come l ack for something,’
S unit muttered.
There wasn't even a chance to get
out. The detective hastily tipped up
one i f the gra n boxes, and we both
dinned under it. The edge was hard
y ihiwn on tho floor whea the door
was | usheil open.
“Strange Bige didn't button it,”
vv* re tue first words we heard, iu a
harsh, coarse voice, ns the owner ol
it stepped into tl e ramp. lie was
followed by another and anotln-r, till
a gang of at least ten men had come
in and thrown down their guns and
packs.
Some of them iat down on the v* i y
box we were tinder. There was a
knot bole in the box above ns, largo
enough to have stuck a list through.
■A. DEMOOKATIC FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
To sir that wo lo t unenm'o: tab'e
—there in the veiv den of that lawless
gang, cxpccing no liing but that we
should be discovered the next miume
—lint faintly expressed our emotion*
—my own, at least. *
True we might, make a stout fight
with our earbiiio i*nd revolver; but
wo. should certainly be overpow, r.-d
and put out ol llm way. Too sle y
ot every men in tue pang would de
mand that we sliodjrl be disposed if
>ff, etunlly; arid, their talk, they
seemed the men to do any de-perate
deed. Had th, ir conversation was
oaths.
Hie smugglers seemed tired. We
sm n understood that they had b eu
traveling ail night. The sut and lay
around lor len or fifteen miliums.
One of them—whom the rest called
‘Cup'n”—then said:
‘T’ack away the stuff, boys, aud
then gi t up breakfast.
They all rose up and unbound their
pucks.
“Shall wo stow it in this box?’
asked one, tipi ing up the box wo
were under at least a foot.
Our hearts leaped, aud we gripped
l oar weapons.
“N'i; put it in this one,’ said an
other.
The man let the box full hack.
It seemed as it they must hear our
| breathing, for we j anted in spite of
ourselves. We dated not own wbis-
I per to each o her.
When they had finished packing
tlie poods, some ol thorn commenced
| getting breakfast, while the others
| sat talking together. The conversa
tion w s par tly in French, partly in
i English, intcr.-persed with a piiffu
, sion of oaths.
A groat deal of*interesting matter
came to our ears—names of men en
gaged with them, along from Mon
treal in Portland, and litany facts and
methods of their il ieit traffic. We
w* r-, of course, inter* sting in this;
though we felt that every bit of inf >r
tnation thus given would be an addi
tional reason lor killing us, should
we be discovered.
B i ed potatoes, fri* and pork, butter,
e!r 0.-c an K bread, were soon ready.
Three or four of she rr,seals sat down
round our box. It seemed ns if tiny
'Mist see ns through that plant star
ing knot-hole. Wu could see their
lin es plain i-iiou h as they swore ami
ate alternate.v.
After eating they sinok and what
seemed to be exc. IL nt cigars. Blan
kets were then thrown down, but tor
the be * w br.-a: Ii tig and snoring, all
would have bo* n quiet.
Two of tli* in bad spread tl cir
blanke's on th** box above ns, so that
they cov -nil tl e knot, bole, ami were
iyi ig on them. This made the air
inm ie tbe box very close after a time.
The reader can imagine * in* situa

We bad no f learned tho captain's
name. 15 it .here "as an Eph, n Seth,
a M ke, a Jed, and a Lige in the gang.
From their talk while eating we gath
ered that a Bige and a Johny were
expect.**! io come up that evening;
and we gmss -d that these we;e tin
two that we had seen and tracked
tbnt morning.
After eating, the men took their
gun* and s*t oil on tm Ir return trip
to “the Inks ” We wait* and ten or fit
teen minutes, then raise.l tbe box
and got out from under it. Neither
Stuart nor myself could stand erect
for a while. We helped ourselves to
such food as they hail left, for we
were ravenously hungry. But wo
made haste, that we might, getaway
before Bige ami Johnny should re
turn.
Stuart said wc must get hold of
these two at. all hazards. It was al
ready after sunset. Rather than risk
a scuffle with them them n theshardy
Stuar* concluded to attempt their
arrest outside
We took two blankets, and went
down about half a mile "n their trail,
where we lav down amongst, some fir*,
near th> old rat'd on which we had
come up in the morning.
Shortly alter dark, we heard them
pass, going up t*> the r store camp.
We spoil' ihe night there and very
ea* 1 ,) in the morning posted ourselves
in some cellars, close *o the tra 1. In
about half an hour we heard them
coming.
Wi>oii they had approached to
within ten yards, we stepped out sn l
den!', and covered th* in. point blank,
wt h our revolver and carbine, 'lliey
s lipped and stood motionless.
Stuart to!l them, in few words, wlm
we were and what was wanted. It
turned out that tlmy wore on'.v hired
men. They mad-.' no show of resist
unco. Having handcuffed them, we
took thorn, with t a err packs, to the
set i lenient,. They both offer dto tut n
State's evidence—to save themselves.
The next day we got the deputy
sheriff and five men, w hom the sheriff
summoned, to go back with us to the
t tore camp, to se*z the contraband
goods, and, if possible, to arrest the
whole gang.
I .Bin over hall the cigars ami liquors

It had never been known of Block-

A well-known Sacnunontau who
Imd been out with “I lie boys” nnti
three ocloek in the morning, felt a
trifle uneasy as to w: at ids "ife
would say* upon the subject, and de
termined to adopt a little piece of
strut'gy. He entered the house
Cautiously, noisiesslv removed bis
boots ui ti then made his way to tlieii*
i bed ro**ni. He was not so obfustiea
iCil but that tie kue.v it would be
'•angr-rous to g*=t in the bed, so after
tfsiobing, betook up a po it ion by
tiie side of the baby's cradle and be
gan rocking it like a ’49-er. If is
w fe, aroused by iho noise, discover
ed him, as it was a part of
hiid scheme that she should, aud
cd'ed out: “Why, what, on earth
are you doing there?” “Doing?” be
replied, keeping the kinks out of his
tongue by an almost, supeihuman ef
fort. “Doing? I am trying to get
this—baby asleep! She’s been cry
ing a half n hour, and you’ve slept
through it all!” His air of right
eous indignation was well put on, but
it wouldn't do—luck was against him.
“What do you mean ?” his better half
sternly responded. “I have got that
baby in the bed with me, and she
hasn’t cried to-night! When did
you come ?”
An Ohio Radical stumper, while
making a speech, paused in
ihe midst ot it and exclaimed: “Now,
gentlemen what do you think ?” In
stantly a man rose in the assembly,
and. with one eye partially closed,
modestly, with a strong Scotch
brogue, replied: “I think, sir—l do
indeed, sir—think that if you and 1
were to stamp the country together
we co-ilii ted more lies than any
other two men in ihe country, sir,
and I'd not say a word myself dining
