SOMETHING TO CAUSE SoRRow.-W greet
ed an old acquaintance yesterday. on Nay.
ayes-street, whom We had not seen for fort.
nigh before. He had a care worn and trou.
bied countenance; his eyes were sunken
and his cheeks We're hollow, and care had
left its foot prints on his brow; he looked al
least ten years older than when last we saw
him. We asked if he had been sick, and, il
not. TO explain the cause Of this great change!
"Aias." he replied, ga few days ago and /
was happy in the possession Of father. a
mother, and three loved sisters: but | am
alone now-I buried the last one yester-
day. We were answered; it was, indeed.
enough to turn the darkest hairs To snowy
wilderness. And yet it is but one instance
out Of many which daily occur in our city

Smuggling--A Chinanan with . Tin Stomach


The duties imposed by our tariff are COM
paratively SO light that the temptations to
smuggle have scarcely warranted the risk
consequent upon detection. We have lit
tie to do with such deAterous and adventur-
Gus bands ofsmugglers as have infested the
coast of England and France, and set at de-
fiance a swarm ofcoast guards and revenue
cutters. But still ingenious tricks and
stratagems arc employed from time to
time TO eyade the customs. by running
through articles OF small bulk and great val
ne. The Chinese are perhaps the most
cunning smugq!eFs in the world. They re-
tain in this country their passion for opium,
and those who have gained access to their
inmosts hauuts say they may be seen at
times, hstlessly dreaming away there lives
under its influence. This drug is very cost
~, and whenever an opportunity offers, they
attempt to smuggle il into the city. An
instance occurred a few days age which IL
illustrates their system of tactics. a vessel
had arrived from China with a large number
of Celestials on board. A revenue officer
was, as usual, placed on board to to see that
no cargo was landed without authority
Among the passengers on board one Jolly
looking old fellow attracted attention by his
extreme portliness. He had in fact stom-
ach OF almost FALsTAFr's proportions; but
somehow or other he did not seem easy
His movements were ungainly and con-
strained. and the officer approached him,
and began to poke him loosely about the
paunch, when TO his surprises hollow sound
was given back. He repeaiedhis punches,
this time tor an object, and found JOHN to
have a prodigicusly hard and unyielding
stomach. Here was discovery. A Gus
tom officer on the scent of smuggler is
like Cat in pursuit of dainty mouse
John was soon Invested Of his tunie and ap.
purtenances, when, 10! he appeared to have
a tin stomach. aud further, that it could bt
detached without seriously interfering with
his digestion. A post morton examination
was held upon the tin corporation, ant
strange to say it was found full of opium
Whether JoHs insisted that he had eater
il, and its disagreeing with his natural func
tons OF digestion had compelled him to re
sort to an artificial receptacle. or whether
he acknowledged the corn We know not
AT any rate, his entire tin stomach, content.
included, were contiscated as contraband
and will doubtless be sold at auction on,
efthese days for the benefit of Uncle Sam
Golfers.

FAcT.-We don't know exactly wheth.
er it will do to tell the story-some suscepti.
bic people might think il out Of place just
now-but it NAV raise a smile to the palliC
lips of some poor invalid, and we therefore
risk it. Il was told US by member of the
Howard Association, who gave if as posi-
tive fact, and told it merely TO illustrate his
belief that three-foarths of the people who
are carried off BY the epidemic fall victims
to their own or their attendants ignorance or
negligence.
A poor couple, inhabiting some back ten
ement, were visited by the feyer-the hus-
band was taken with it. The wife did her
best for the poor fellow, but that was not
much. The case came to the ears of a
member of the Howard Association, and
through his direction physician visited the
sick man. Various remedies were ordered,
prescriptions sent for, and among them was
large and strong plaster, switch said the
doctor, .syou viii put on him there-d'you
sect Pointing to the broad space between
the sick laborer's shoulders, in front-in 9TH
er words, his breast. AYES, sir; yes, sir,
know; thank you kindly, sir, and the gentle
man too, and may the blessing of a poor
woman go wild We" &c, her grateful thanks
following the doctor and the Howerdiie un.
I'll they were clear of the tenement.
The next morning the Howardite visited
the couple. After examining the condition
Of the patient, he asked the wife: "Weil,
madam, how did the plaster drawi" "Och,
sir, it's doing fine, it is. It's beautiful
plaster" "Let me see it, "To be sure
sir. you can see it. It's beautiful one,
teliye. Come, Nike, dear, turn over; it's the
kind jintleman.''
The Howardite raised the bed-clothes, and
there TO be sure was the plaster sticking
as tight as ever plaster stuck yet, but unfor-
tunately the good woman had applied it 10
the bosom of her husbands shirt and not to
the bosom the shirt eovered.--Y o. Pea
