WOMAN AS DESCRIBED BY VARIOUS FRENCH
AUrHoRe.-Omly he who has nothing to hope
for from woman is truly sincere in her
praise. - Cdtdldnj
In everything that women write there will
be thousands of faults against grammar but
also to a certainty, always a charm never to
be found in the letters of men-NalaD,e de

Men can better philosophize on the human
heart, but women can read it better.-J j.

1t is universal rule, which, as far as
know, has no exception, that great men al
ways resemble their mothers who impress
their mental and physical mark upon their

woman frequently resists the love she
feels, but cannot resist the love she inspires

Love in a woman's life is history; in

Great and rare heart-offerings are found
almost exclusively among women nearly all
the happiness and most blest moments in love
are of their creating, and so also in friend

Providence has so ordained it that only
two women have n true interest in the hap

mother Of his children. Besides these two
legitimate kinds of love, there is nothing be-

ANOTHER Custom House FAUX PAs.-The
recent seizure of diamonds, which we have
previously made mention of, turns out to
have been a rather unwarrantable exercise of
authority on the part of the Custom House
officer who rendered himself famous 10y the
fra ln w
gtoundless charge was made is Mr.. SciIe,
lately in business in New York City, and
agent for the house Of i. Falek, No rue
LATTE Paris. When the seizure was made
MI 5. stated that the diamonds were not sub
ect to duty, but his ststement was not cred
tied. Mr.. Collector Rankin, however, made
a rigid examination Of Mr.. Seile's papers and
witnesses, and caused the goods seized to be
returned, at the same time taking the pre-
caution to receive from Mr.. Seile a written
disclaimer of his intention to hold the Gov
ernment for damages in consequence of the
FAM pas committed. The seizure was wholly
illegal and Unauthorized, and the person or
persons connected Herewith showed great
ignorance of their duties. So positive were
they that a good haul had been made, that
on Monday last great spread" was set out
Misrepresentation, also, is laid at their door,
for they magni6ed the small value of the
seizure-about $1,000 in ALTO $4,000.
Mr. Siele states that Mr.. Rankin behaved
very gentlemanly to him, which no doubt he
did, and charges all TIE trouble which beset
him to private malice. Mr. s. is unmarried, |
so the statements made by the Custom House
Officials in reference to the wife, who was
said to make successful landing with pet |
ticoat "all over diamond pins, was wholly
imaginary. Hereafter we shall be careful
not to place too much credence in the tales
told by Custom House officals- They are
inclined to draw long DO IS" it seems. G. |
II. Gaubert, the informer, who was so anxious
to receive all the credit for the seizure, can
now obtain his just dues. in addition to the
disappointment of not touching his share of
the plunder.-S F. cali.
