SEARCHING THE BUSTLES. A Woman’s Description of the Work of the Inspectresses on the Wharves. },\om the Providence Journal. Indignant woman is not a pleasant person to run against, and usually people give her a wide berth; but wait on the docks of New York for a European steamer and you find her not in the singular, but in the plural number. In former years it was an easy matter to rush through a few (?) presents, gftv or so. Now, with the advent of women on the docks as inspectresses, a sad change has come o’er the Spirit of the fair traveler’s dream. These inspectresses are twenty-three in number, under the charge of Mrs. Mary E. Williams, chief of the bureau. They range in age from 16 years to that point where women stop having birtlulavs. Their hours at the Barge office on the Battery are from 9 and 7. a. m. on alternate weeks, to 6p. m. At this season they are rushed, Sunday being the busiest day. A competitive civil service examina tion, such as any pupil in the upper gram mar grades could pass, secures a position and a salary of sl(3 a month. When a vessel is sighted off Fire Island its arrival is wired to the Barge office. At the Narrows the custom house officials board the great 6teamer, and others, with inspectresses, pre pare to meet her when safely tied to her landing. At one end of the gorgeously fitted up saloon the men in brass buttons and white caps with gilt insignia, .seat them selves, and in Indian file the passengers come up to the impromptu desks. “Your name?” askes the officer. “J. Helene Jones.” So much is honest. “Alone or with an escort?” Here comes the rub. If unattended, her ladyship must submit to the hundred eyes of the female Argus detailed to inspect the luggage of ladies traveling alone. If with a gentleman this is avoided, and although she has tramped all over the Continent, and brought from every shop in London and Paris without any aid, the result, just being pulled up from the hold of the ship, at the present moment she finds male protection a most desirable thing. Her answer, truth fully or no, goes down, and the next inter rogation is regarding the number of trunks, boxes, parcels, and packages. They must all be enumerated “big box, little box, band box, and bundle.” “Dutiable or lion-dutiable?” she is asked. Nine cases out of ten she smilingly says she has nothing at all upon which duty can be charged—in her judgment. Subsequent events prove that differences of opinion still exist in this cold, cruel world, where an unfeeling Government persists in levying a tax on female friperie. Madamoiselle is then passed to the man opposite and signs her name to this paper. She has thus sworn to possessing no dutiable articles. If squeam ish she may reply that she has a few trifles and is asked to name them and place upon these a valuation. Seldom is the true cost given, and often sales bills are produced (kindly arranged by parties across), sub stantiating her statements. The questioning closes with a number handed her on a check, corresponding to that on her sworn deposi tion. With it goes a printed circular in forming one bribery is punishable. The steamer reaches her pier. Mile. Jones, in anew seal jacket and Parisian bonnet, brings down numberless small parcels, her steward, gracious under a final tip, in the rear with portmanteau, rugs, and umbrellas. She embraces wait ing admirers, announces she “had a per fectly lovely time; actually gained sixteen pounds I” this last fact corroborated by an apparent increase in volume and weight. Somehow her dress-improver has swelled, but she accounts for this as the very latest from Regent street fashion models. But keys are called for. She is most voluble, too much so for the cool miss in ulster now controlling all belongings. To the hand bag first rfives the woman official. Nothing there. Her steamer trunk. Also empty, void of anything suspicious, although a nightdress case is poked into, toilet bag and boxes ditto. Still nihil. Rugs, fur, cloak, and umbrellas are opened. Miss Jones started with none, she now carries four of a recent make. They pass. A second key opens a huge Saratoga and each tray comes under inspection. There is much head gear, suspiciously new, but it goes as personal belongings. Lingerie comes under inspec tion, but, also passes. Dresses of late make are tossed asside and into each corner go the quick bands. Ah! Something hard is struck! A box. Out it comes m a jiffy. Cover torn off and through the packing comes a pair of lovely vases. These are quietly laid aside. During this the owner is all the time giving information, histori cal, of the origin and cause of each article. But, Miss Inspectress is cooler than the traditional cucumber. Another trunk is unstrapped and unlocked. Dresses, dresses everywhere, some but quarter made aud one of dimension twice Mile. J. Helene’s size. The keen eye of the examiner observes this and the garment goes on top of the box, followed by a gentle man’s mackintosh, and later a lamp iu royal Worcester, the va.se of the lamp stuffed with lace. Gloves are plenty, but give way to a silk skirt. On the principle of set a thief to catch a thief, put a woman to fathom a woman’s ways, and you need not be sur prised to see the inspectress hold up the skirt to the light, rip open one of the gores, and show round after round of heavy jet stitched inside. The pile is now of goodly size, its owner tearfully exclaiming: “It's a sliume; they're only presents from friends in England!” But the inspectress heeds her not but goes for the appraisement with tho deposition, which she has all the time held in tier hand. Mile. Jones begins to breathe easy. Politely she is asked to place a value upon the goods and sho does so. Just as she is shaking hands with herself and wondering if she will have enough left in her portemon naio to put up at the Brunswick or the Fifth Avenue, she is invited into a room on the dock. Farewell to sweet delusive hope, Pandora never left it in the box to be so cruelly crushed. A pei-sonal examination shows silk petti coats with braid aud bullion, and lace orna mentation. Her pockets, jewelry by the yard, and in her back hair, when unbound, are found two shining diamonds. Tne anatomy of the bustle should be reeds or springs with a tiny cushion of hair. But here is a piece of velvet which she could not duplicate in the States, and a scissoi-s thrust in the cushion stabs throe meerschaum pipes! Behold her shorn aud in floods of tears. She calls a cab, or someone does for her, pays the duty on her little pile, amount ing to about three fourths of their real worth, and loses what has been taken from her person. The next day she writes to some New York paper anathematizing tho Government, a protective tariff, and thinks she has done nothing at all illogal. The goods taken Sunday last from a Bos ton dressmaker on the La Gascogne from Paris, when spread out, at the Laight street public stores, mono a display dazzling to the eyes. They were paced most adroitly, aud the whol > evidently a previously arranged plan with the gentleman acting as tempor ary friend in time of need. The value placed upon those declared dutiable was 8,000 francs, or SLOOO, when tho correct estimate is SIO,OOO. It. wits tho largest seizure for years, aud oddlv enough, ma le by the male offioers. A few uuys before a second-class passenger was discovered with two suits of men’s garments under the skirts which belonged to her sox! A clergyman and wife had a whole ship’s cargo of household effects, which they tried to enter free,certify ing that they were in use a year previous. This last permits entrance without tax it ion. On looking at the goods not a vestige of wear could be seen, some of the furniture and carpets in the first lustre of varnish and newness. Fortner inquiry showed that the clergyman only went over four mouths previous. People who would seoru to appro priate a farthing have tile greatest effioiit fry, and it is comical to h, ur the exfiostu taboos at their failure to got the eartu and the fullness thereof. But, on tho other haivj, as if to show their value, the inspectresses tax trifles, and on but a few towels and a couple of silver spoons I saw a poor int?r uiediate passenger pay $7.87, The inu’e '(“hector would have been charitable, for ' ncy had not the upjiearauco of new goods, and they were the only things outside cloth tag and necessities. LONDON GOSSIP. A Physician Honored by the Queen— The Quoe-’s Economy. London', Sept. 24. —The Queen has just conferred a baronetcy upon Dr. Morel Mac kenzie for his services to the Crown Prince of Germany. If there are men in the world who deserve to have honors conferred upon them, it is the physicians who attend upon royalty, for their position is anything but a desirable one in one way, and were it not for the rewards attached, I fear that roy alty would bo worse off in the matter of medical attendance than even the poor of the slums. In this connection I heard a good story the other day in regard to a royal physician. Dr. Bottkin, the confidential physician of the Czarina, always travels with her, and has accompanied her as usual to Denmark. It appears that when Bottkin was first called iu to prescribe, it became necessary to examine her imperial majesty with tie stethoscope, and the physician requested the great lady to disrobe for that purpose. There was a frigid refusal, and a great show of offended imperial dignity, whereupon Bottkin simply bounced out of her majesty’s presence, saying—and not in a whisper—that such fine lady patients might go to the devil, but they need uot come to him any more for advice. The attendants trembled and quaked, aud the Empress was mortally offended; but when it came to the ears of the Czar of all tho Russias, he took quite a different view of the matter. Flattery was all very well in other apartments, he said, but give him an honest physician not afraid to speak his mind. So he sent for Bottkin and inter viewed him, and the result was, that the worthy physician was appointed private medical attendant to the Empress at an enormous salary. A The Queen is still in tho Highlands, living in simple fashion on her limited income. It is no wonder that her majesty spends so much of the year in retirement in view of the fact that she has only the following al lowances, viz.: £OO,OOO per year for the privy purse, £131,260 for household sala ries, £172,500 for household expenses, £13,- 200 to give away in charity, and an allow ance of £B,OOO for sundries, all unappro priated. The rest of her receive from the country £158,000, and this, however, is but a small portion of what royalty costs per year. I wonder what the people in America, who growl at the paltry $50,000 per year which is paid to the President in a country which is considered-extravagant in allowing Foreign Ministers from one third to one-quarter the amount any other first-class government does, and who con sider the Congressman a bloated bondholder on a salary of £I,OOO per year, would think if the expenses of the President of the White House amounted to $2,750,000 per annum. I am looking with a shotgun for the man who told me that living was cheap in Lon don. I can assure you that with the excep tion of the items of rent and gentlemen’s clothing, everything in London costs nearly twice as much as in America. Provisions are exeeptronally dear, and the market is anything but good, while servants’ wages are cheap, they are so lazy that it takes so many of them to do the work of one smart man and woman that the aggregate wages are about the same, and you are, in addi tion, out of pocket for the amount they eat and waste. I have been experimenting in housekeeping for the past six months in the hopes of solving the problem of living in London. I have solved the problem, and am insolvent in consequence. The hotels are impossible, and lodging houses very much the same, the point being in each case that while you start in at a very reasonable rate, the extras count up at such a rate that your bills in a very short time are positively appalling. Boarding houses, where you can get, for a single man, a good room and board from $8 to $lO a week, such as are plenty in New York, are almost quite un known on this side, for to live equally well for a single man in London will cost him $25 per week. Much curiosity is evinced as to the desti nation of Buffalo Bill aud his “Wild West” after the close of the American Exhibition, but Manager Salsbury and his “Star” keep their own counsel very closely in regard to this matter. The subscriptions of the Katharines, Catherines, and Kates of England toward erecting a fitting monument to Queen Katherine of Aragon in Peterborough Cathedral, has already reached a pretty high figure. Being in‘the Cathedral a few days ago, I read, among other donations, that of the Duchess "Katharine” of West minster, of £5. It seems now, that since a gentleman has promised to place at his own expense, a monumental brass over the Queen’s remains, the ladies’ memorial will take the form of a stained gloss window. There are only four brass letters left to mark the place where the uhhappy Queen is buried Cromwell’s soldiers having entirely des troyed her tomb and all its belongings, so that a monument of some sort is absolutely necessary, unless we wish to lose sight alto gether of the resting place of one of the most estimable of Queens. By the way, in a month or so the grave of Katharine is to be opened, and it will be necessary to re move it for a short time during the repairs, which are actively progressing. This will be a grand opportunity for those who, like Mr. Pepys, wish to see a Queen, even if she be dead, and may possibly lead to some singular discoveries. According to an old tradition, some important documents are buried with this Queeu. The late mad King of Bavaria's personal effects have just been sold at Munich, in order “to defray expenses”—in other words, to raise a little capital, wherewith to pay off his just debts. Tbe catalogue was an extra ordinary one, and shows plainly the state of tho monarch’s brain. A pair of scarlet velvet trousers fetched the equivalent of £lO. A toy steam engine, with silver wheels, went for a song. A pair of musical hairbrushes were not sold, owing to the works having gone wrong, thus making tho music mute. But, jierhaiis, tho funniest, and yet withal the saddest thing in tho whole collection, was the stuffed monkey which was the King’s inseparable bedfellow duriug the last few year's of his melancholy life. The Brasseys have left Sydney in their yacht Sunbeam. A good story is told to the credit of Lord Tommy’s papa, which rnns just like this. Iu the dawn of life Lord Brassey’s papa was a young man with lots of enorgy, a good character, and (it fol lows) no cash. He was in the employ of a Chester banker, Mr. Wardell. Being, like his son s wife, of a pushing turn of mind, he saw his way to enter on small contracts. At last he was offered a very large railway contract far beyond his means. In his ex tremity he waited on his old master, laid the facts of the case before him, and asked him for a large advance. “But,” he con cluded, “I have no security to offer you.” “Yes, you have —the best —a good charac ter. You shall have the money.” (Mr. War dell lived before the days of defaulting cler gymen.) Now comes the poetry of the affair. Years after, when Brassey was a second Croesus, a rumor got about that Warden’s bank was shaky. Brassey heard of it and sped to Chester. “I have just heard the bad news. What sum do you require?” “Sev eral hundreds of thousands,” was the hopeless reply. “You shall have it.” “But I have no security all.” “Yes you have—tbe best— a good reputation.” Townsend Percy, F.
