ARTFUL vILLAISY.

ARTFUL vILLAISY.
A theft was committed yesterday by q gang
of boys, in a manner which for cunning and
adroitness. will compare with any OF the
most ingenious tricks Of the veteran culprlts
in the populous cities Of Europe. As the Ia
dy Of a house IN Greenwich street was sit
ting at breakfast in the back piazza, a lad
decently dressed, rushed in at the front door,
crying, and ran through the hall. lmmedi-
ately two other boys presented themselves
at the front door and called TO him to come
along. % the lady's enquiring what was
the matter, the lad told her that the boys at
the door wanted 10 whip him. They denied
il, and said he had run away, and their boss
had sent them TO bring him home. The la
dy in a kind manner advised him to go,
which advice after hanging about the en,ry
for some time, he complied with but not
without having in the coarse of the ai'erca-
ton and confusion which he had created, sly
ly slipped into the front parlour and tasten-
ed his little thieving hooks upon a pair OF
silver pint mugs. These be contrived to
hold before him in such a manner, with his
face partly turned towards the entry wall,
{. moving towards the door apparently very
reluctantly, for fear his companions IN ihiqui-
,y would give him a hiding succeeded IN es.

A very important legal decision has
recently been made in the District Court
of the U. States for the District of Massa,
chusetts. on the construction of the 4Ist &
45d sections of the Act of Congress OF
March 2, 1899, CIRCULATING the collection
of duties on imports and tonnage" The
case was an information filed in behalf OF
the United States against Is pipes distill-
ed spirits-claimed by Rix. 1t was ar,
gued by Jas Il. Austin and Danl. Web
ster. for the claimant, and George Blake,
District Attorney for the United States.
1t appeared in evideace-First, that
the casks of distilled spirits in question
were of such description as were required
by the Act to be marked and accompanied
with the usual certificates. And,
Secondly, that on the 29th day of April
last, they were found by the seizing officer
in the possession of a person unaccompa-
MED by such certificates. 1t was shewn,
by the testimony of sundry witnesses, that
the casks in question, were filled at the
time of the seizure, with a species of dis
titled spirits and that each of them had
been regularly marked at the Custom
house in Boston, in conformity with the
requirements of law, as containing foreign
Gin of the first proof, imported in ship

marks and numbers remaining as at first,
without any change or obIiteration. 1t

An eastern paper mentions as a subject of
general congralularion, that our country is
soon 10 be in possession Of two OF the finest
specimens OF modern art, in sculpture and
pain,iug-a statue of Washington by Cdnova
and a portrait Of West, BY Lawrence.-
The arrival of the statue Of Washington is
daily looked for at Boston in the U. S. ship
Columbus; and there appears to be a wish,
highly honorable to the taste OF the people of
that city, that the statue should be exhibited
there, previous to Its ultimate transmission
to the capitol Of North Carolina.
