A boy OF eight years old couple Of weeks since
was sent to PRISON for month by three magis-
trates at Tamworth. England. The poor little mite
had thrown stone AT bird, and missing, the bird.
had broken q glass in a shopkeeper's window.
King Victor Emmanuel OF Italy Is reported to
have made the following remarks concerning the

An unfortunate gentleman, against whom 10 was
proved at the Central Criminal Court, London, that
he had married three wives-taking to himself
second ana third while his first was still living
married neither OF them for money, aud that he had
up 10 the moment OF being arrested ''been at the
expense OF maintaining tnem.n
The GdulOts has the following account OF the
suicide Of M. Dupuis, the former chez do cuisine Of
the ex-Emperor Napoleon. M. Dupus was at first
enormously reported as the major domo Of NJ.
TIMERS. Says the Ftgdr0.-'A rumor that the
intendant OF the chief OF the Executive had COM
Versailles. The rumor is In respect true,
but In another not true. True, because NJ
Dupuis was found dead In the room which he
occupied ut the prefecture: ase, because NJ
Dupuis who was about sixty years OF age, has Tor
than forty years been the caterer for the houses
OF Charles X, Louis Philippe and Napoleon Ill
The events OF the last SIX meiths seem 10 have pro-
duccd violent agitation In his mind. He followed,

THE CUSTOM HOUSE.

Uniform Tor !Dspcr tOrs--t:rcRt Increase in
Receipts from Customs.
IL has long been matter OF surpi that the Gus
tom House officials. whose duties require them 10
board vessels and take care Of revenue interests
about the docks were not supplied with suitable
uniforms. The simple badge which inspectors wear
when on duty Is not sufficient to distinguish them
from ordinary people, especially at night When
wanted by their superIors they arc not easily
found and when it pieases them to shirk
their work their derehction is not easily
discovered. 1t may be very well to have
Custom House officers detailed to do certain duty
dressed in plain clothes but Tor inspectors there
certainly should he provided uniform easily dts
tinguishable by every one. 1t would certainly tend
themselves, for obvious reasons.
Impressed with the necessity Of placing the In
spectors under the wacnfui eye Of the public, and
so improving their discipline and efficiency, Coec-
tor Murphy recently wrote to the Secre-
tar, G,rws OF In me ne Treasury to ascertain his
that II was agreed between them W uniform those
officers. The Collector Will, In lew days. call u
meeting OF inspectors nj the barge Office, and will
there ask them to decide for themselves on the style
Of uniform SO that dissatisfaction may be felt by
any, II Is considered likely that they will agree on
dress OF blue cloth, with buttons similar TO those
worn In the navy, and q peaked cap to match. The
price Tor each suit winch must be paid for by the
wearer, WILL 1t ~ supposed not exceed forty dollars.
Business IN the Custom House Is somewhat duh
at present the busy season being well spent; but it
IL heavier than IL was at this period last year. The
receipts from customs TO the LIST OF April exceed
those or the previous year to the corresponding time
by 49, 600, 0OO As the duties levied principally
on articles OF luxury imported from Europe this
large increase Indicates the RAPID growth OF our
wealthy class Perhaps IT. also indicates that
