TflE DIAMOND SMUGGLERS. CUNNING RUSES EMPLOYED TO ELUDE CUSTOMS OFFICIALS. Ingenious Receptacles for Contra band Gems —Curious Expedients Resorted to by Women. “More diamonds are brought into this country in the fall,” said a New York Custom-house Inspector to a Prm re porter, “than at any other time, as dealers • are then getting ready for the holiday season. The usual protit on Ordinary stones, upon which duty is paid,,is esti mated at ten per cent, at wholesale. Now this is not a large per cent, to make, and naturally does not satisfy people inclined to be dishonest. If the duty was lowered there would be very little smuggling done, as the profit would not compensate for the risk of having the property confiscated. ' " “It sometimes happens that the Col lector is notified of the coming of dia mond smugglers, as he was in the case of Henry James Marriott some five or Six years ago. Marriott stole diamonds valued at $50,000 from a l’aris jeweler named Kramer. Marriott was a clerk in a picture store, and, with his booty and a young girl named Pereux, tied to this country. Two persons answering their description soon after came over in a Ger man steamer, and hardly had they landed before United States Deputy Marshal Bernhard wa3 on their track. They were finally traced to Staten Island and arrested at the Battery while coming up to the‘city. Nearly all of the stones Were discovered, some of them being sewed into a pincushion, a muff and a *pair of trousers in the room of the thieves. •Sometimes diamond smugglers are re ported by fellow passengers in whom • they have confided, or who have their suspicious excited by some chance word or act. Diamonds have.been found con cealed in soap, in .women’s back hair, and in some instances fastened to the plate of an upper sat of false teeth. Some people who are constantly on the go be tween this country and Europe are habitually watched. . ! “One of the strangest cases that ever came under my observation was that of a man who had subjected himself to a grew deal of bodily pain to effect his purpose. It was generally understood among his fellow passengers that he was a great inyalid and was suffering from some incurable blood disease that would eventually end 1 his life. When he came off the steamer, supported by attendants, he was indeed a frightful looking ob ject, his face being a mass of eruptions. What it was that excited my suspicions I can’t say, but something told me that the man was an imposter and I decided to have him searched. You never saw such an indignant lot of people as they were and their prostestations that a search would endanger the life of the invalid almost made me forego my reso lution. The look of satisfaction on the invalid’s face,however, when I hesitated, settled me, and I had him brought into the inspecting room, and sent for a physic an before examining him, as I wished to take no risks. When the doc tor came he,felt the man’s pulse and looked puzzled; “There is noth ng the matter with that man,” he said finally, ‘‘except extraneous skin poisoning,” You may be sure I had him stripped rather quickly. Would you believe it? His skin was as white and soft as a baby’s, with the exception of live red lumps on the.inner side of the thighs that looked like large, undeveloped boils or car buncles. The phys ciau examine ! these curiously and then said to hold him. Three or four of us held hjrn while the doctor made an incision over one of the lumps and extracted—a diamond. You see, the fellow had read that the dig r , gers in the African mines sometimes used this wav'for concealing valuable gems, and he had tried it. He was the most crestfallen invalid you ever saw, for, be sides having had all his sufferings for nothing, he was out about * IV, Out). “Many persons have an idea that smug gling is not dishonest. One well known business man was" caught in trying to get through untaxed a lot of velvets valued at $50,000. He made himself liable to pay a large tine —some thousands of ' dollars. He paid the amount without a murmur, but stated when he did so that he did not consider that he had done anything wrong. .'A prominent gentle man, who would n6t for the w’orld com mit an act which he considered dishon est, was caught smuggling diamonds concealed in'gelat ine capsules in a medi cine bottle. He did not appear abashed in the slightest degree. “The smuggler, in his anxiety to avoid detection, will indicate by his manner that he is trying to do some-, thing which he oueht not. I know of a case where a cripple on crutches ex cited my suspicions by just that look of guilt consciousness, ami 1 took him in to be searched. The other orticeri' laughed at me, but tightly rolled up in the hollow leg of one of the crutches tvere several pieces of very valuable la.e. Yes, sir, a man that can successfully pass through the ordeal, of those few moments of inspection would make a mighty good hand at a game of blbtf, I can tell you. “Some very curious expedients are re sorted to by women smugglers, who are of .course searched in a • separate room by" persons of their own sex. A common way for men to smuggle dia monds is to put them in a money belt that goes around the waist. Gbld watches are also smuggled in thaj; way, but the practiced fingers of an officer can generally detect the presence of anything that does not belong there. Sometimes, of course, mistakes are made and innocent persons udju'sly sus pected, therefore o dicers have to use a great deal of circumspection. “It is not difficult for an expert to discover diamonds hidden in the lining of clothing, for long experience develops a marvelous delicacy of tpuch which it is hard to deceive. People who wrap themselves up in smuggled goods gen erally betray themselves by their un natural proportions. It is aji every day matter to discover valuable laces ( hidden beneath women’s skirts, and the decline of the bustle will be a severe blow to the female smuggler. False bottoms in trunks, hat boxes and dressing cases often conceal diamonds and jewelry, and humpbacks have been caught with humps made out of gold watches. In fact every device that can possibly lie thought of has been utilized by the smuggling fraternity, and the successful inspector must have the keenness of the fox, the nose of the hound and the sense of feeling possessed by the blind, to cope with them. If you wish tp secure for yourself a liberal education as a judge of human nature become a cus toms inspector.” SELECT SIFTINGS. J.iving in Japan is very cheap. Slavery was abolished in Cuba in 1877.

When a father dies, for in stance, the sons must dress themselves in a suit of sackcloth, with a rope girdle about the waist. On the head is worn an enormous hat, about the size of a rain umbrella, and made of basket work. This hides the whole upper portfcn of the body, and for further protection against obtrusion the mourner carries a large fan tiefore'his face. It was in this disguise that the Jesuits were enabled to enter the country and carry op their work. They have but recently laid it aside. EVcn the pipe is wrapped with whi,te paper, and white shoes are worn. The mourner is not expected to do any work, but ht stated times he has duties to perform at his ancestor’s tomb. All this is very bard for some to'bear, as the resources of a fairly prosperous family may thus be exhausted. In the case of useful officials whom the King cannot spare from duty, the period of mourning may be shortened by royal de cree.—San Francisco Chronicle. The Ideal Hound. In the makeup.of a typical hound, be it English or American, he should not be extremely good in one point at the expense of another, as the work that hounds are called upon to do demands a perfectly symmetrical whole. His legs should be straight as gun barrels, feet round, compact and catlike in formation; deep in chest and broad in back, head well formed, neck thin and arched, tail thick and brushy and car ried jauntily in the air, with a voice rich and inellow, for tire latter to a fox hunter is'music far above the grandest chords of Mozart or Beethoven. — New York IleralcL Cocoanuts for a Circulating Medium. Ih Venezuela all manner of makeshifts have been resorted to- for supplying a “circulating medium.” In Guauta, for example, the people have absolutely no monev, and when they wish to purchase a few necessaries they steal cocoanuts by “the dark of the moon” and ex change them for supplies. This custom became so general and so disastrous to the fruit growers that the Alcalde w v as obliged to issue a decree prohibiting the use of cocoanuts as money. OYER THE CATARACT. v/iien the brave Stanley and his tireless fol lowers were pushing their way into Central Afri ca, they came one day to the bank of a mighty liver. Footsore and weary, they quickly launch their boats, and find rest and change in floating upon the smooth surface of the stream. boon, howeyer, the watchful eye of the great explorer sees unmistakable signs of the near presence of a cataract. The current grows swift, tiny bubbles float by. The signal is given to land, and the party seek safety on the low, shelving bank. One daring spirit, however, pushes hislittlo canoe Into the middle of the stream and goes resolutely forward, with the seeming intention oi finding whether the liver is navigable. In vain his comrades shout and gesticulate, rushing wildly along the river bank in pursuit. Not un:il the loud thunder of falling water breaks upon his ear does he attempt to turn. Alas, it is too late. , The oars are wrenched from his hands, the boat is tossed wildly about, a mere atom in the seething waters, and m a brief moment, which seems an age to the lookers on, ic is dashed to pieoes against a huge boulder on the very brink of a frightful precipice. In vain our comrades are kindly warning us of our danger. Our columns have often por trayed the fearful scourge that surrounds us. Often we hear the expression “Is this fearful scourge more prevalent than in olden times?" We say “No.” In Brutus and Julius Caesar’s time, in the dark ages, we read of powerful men being stricken down. The same obstacles are met. Tho victim succumbs to tlie disease. The re cent discoveries of ihe microscope have devel oped the real cause of so many terrible fatali ties and brought out the fact that many of the symptoms which are called diseases are but symptoms of kidney disorder. People do not die because of tho kidneys ttl ceratiug and destroying their spinal column, but because the poisonous waste matter is not extracted from tne blood as it passes through the kidneys, the only blood purifying organs, but remains, forcing its way through the sys tem. attacking the weakest organ. Tne doctors call this a disease, when in real- ity it is but a symptom. Understanding this, tho reason why Warner’s Safe Cure cures so many common diseases is plain. It removes the causes of disease by put ting the kidneys in a healthy condition ; enables them to perform their functions and remove the poisonous acids from the blood ; purifies the blood and prevents the poisonous matter cours ing through the systt m and attacking the weak er organs and producing a malady which the unsuspecting victim fears is, and tlio heartless p: actitioner pronoune s, a disease, because of his inability to remove the cause. He avoids the real cause and keeps his patient in ignorance because of his inability to cope with an advanced ki ney difficulty. Any honest practitioner will admit that there is nothing laid down in the old or in the model n medical works that is a specific for advanced kidney disorder. His bigotry and code prevent him Irorn publicly adopiiug any preparation not discovered by his kind, and not recommend ed by his instructors 25 or DO years b fore, lie forgets that this is a progressive world, anil that most of the great scientific and medical discov eries of tho present day have been made outside of the medical profession. The public, knowing these facts, should heed the warning and seek safety from the great dan ger that surrounds them, anil look for help out side tho profession too bigoted and too self reliant, to learn or concede that science is out s ripping their materia medica and leaving them and their obsolete methods far behind. Zanzibar. • The destiny of the Island of Zanzibar, off the East Coast of Africa, and com manding maritime access to the Lake District of the interior of the Dark Con tinent, is at this time a consideration of high political importance, with regard to the division of German and British colonizing enterprise on the main-land, the combined naval blockade for the suppression of the slave trade, and tho insurrection of the Buhe.i coast tribes against the German settlements. Zan zibar is an island forty-eight miles long and eighteen miles broad, formed by a reef of madrepore, with hills not above 400 feet high, and coverod with Ii xur iant vegetation, the soil being in most parts extremely fertile. The popula tion, altogether numbering 300,000, in cludes about 14,000 Banyans of the Hin doo trading class from India, many of whom are British subjects; Arabs, chief* ly from Oman or from Muscat; Parsee merchants; free and slave blacks from different parts of Africa, from tho Com oro Islands and Madagascar; and the native race, who live in huts of wattle and clay. The part of Zanzibar where the late Saltan Said-Burghush resided, is a fine bay or harbor on tho wost coast, fronting Africa, and tho town has at least 00,000 inhabitants. The connec tion between Southern Arabia and Zan zibar is of a very ancient date,'but was long interrupted bv the Portuguese dominion, which on this part of the East African coast has been abandoned, though it is still a reality in the Mozam bique Channel and far to the south. Zan zibar, however, did not exercise any functions of actual government on the main-land, while claiming a titular sov ereignty along its sea-coast. —Frank Leslie's. Athletic Sports of the Samoans. The men of Samoa are a fine athletic race, and it did not take them long to find interest in many of the sports in dulged in by their visitors. They soon learned to wrestle and to box, aud a number of the natives will not only put on the gloves with you, but give you a lively tussle afterwards. They were apt pupils in cricket also, and can make a very interesting game with the En glish resideuts or the officers and sailors from the British men of-war and mer chantmen that sometimes visit their shores. They soon learn athletic sports but take little interest in manual labor of any kind. In fact until about ten or twelve years ago they used to import laborers from the Solomon Islands, who were held to service for a term of years, as were the Chinese coolies at one time in other parts of the world. There are yet in the Samoa and in tlie Fiji’ Islands many of these imported labor ers, though the traffic has been sup prt ssed for several years. The Samoans are religious, but while professing Christianity and attending to the duties imposed upon them by the faith taught them by tlie missionaries, still, when in dire ue id of more than human aid, they also appeal to the wooden images which, they do not doubt, have brought their forefathers through so many dangers. They pro pose to leave no stone unturned, or no prayer unsaid, that might possibly bring them benefit in their hour of trouble. —New York Journa A. J. Drexel, of Philadelphia, Pa., has put his project for an industrial school for girls into shape, by purchasing for it the Louella mansion, at Wayne, Delaware county, securing a charter, and appointing a board of trustees.

Her eyes wero in a dreadful condi tion. Her apjietito failed. She had pain in her joints and bones. Her kidneys were deranged also, and no one thought she could lie cured. Dr. Gillatn recommended B.

B. B. put my system in fine condition.” We Are Ahead. The success of the warships Vesuvius and York town in achieving more than the contract requirements as to speed and horse power, is made more conspicuous by the failure of the British gunboat, the Spider, to do either. She was expected to show a speed of 20 knots per hour, but did not quite reach it. But this is not so important as the failure of her en gines to develop the required horse-pow er. Our Yorktown has exceeded the horse-power guaranteed, and will earn a premium for her contractors. The Ve suvius has greatly exceeded the speed stipulated, and has become famous throughout the world.
