How Women Try to SmuggIe, and

Fanny Howell writes in the July
number of Scribner's Monthly an en-
tertaining story about those of her own
sex who become smugglers. She says j:
Women are frequently smugglers of
fine laces, but rarely of Jewels On the
Itd[y, however, some valuable Jewels
We're recently seized, having been found
! quilted into an underskirt. A quiet
looking Frau, recently landed from
Bremen, had Il double quilted petticoat
filled with Shetland shawls, caps, and

1ngs, two valuable watches, two silk
dress patterns, two dozen silver spoons,
i dozen silver forks, and eight pieces
Of silk galloon quilted into skirt OF
serge. A companion on the same
steamer had seventy-three bundles Of
| sewing-silk and twenty-nine pairs OF
kid gloves secreted on her person

| foolish Frauleiu had tied strong cords
about her hips, aud the Struggled arti.
cies were suspended in such a manner
that she was scarcely able to reach the
dock.
The mutt is very ordinary cover fon
smuggled iaces. An Englishwoman,
recently landing from one of the Inmall
steamers, had the cotton removed from
her muff, and It's place filled with val
liable laccs. The mutf was strapped to
her person, where it stood for cnbon-
| point.
In one potticoat of this lady were
found gloves IN quantity; in the fac

Abduction of Child By its Mother.

This is special to the St. Louis Republi-
can. The fact has already been stated bv
telegraph, but not the particulars:
The first wife of General Albert Viele,
from whom he is divorced, returned from
Europe recently, determined to recover nos
session of her little girl, aged seven, whose
custody had been awarded to the father.
Another child, little boy, had been given
to the mother, who went to Europe. Hear
ing there Of General Viele's remarriage, she
resolved to seize her little daughter by
force. Taking two gentlemen into her con
fdence, she had them decoy General Viele
to this city by business appointment, and
in his absence last Wednesday from his
home at Lake Mahopac the discarded wife,
aided by friends, seized the little girl, placed
her in a carriage and, driving to the nearest
railway station, came to this city. On the
road to the railway pursuit was made, and
revolvers displayed on both sides, but the
Generals friends backed down. The little
girl showed great delight on being restored
to her mother. The eldest daughter of the
General by his first marriage remains at
Lake Mahopac, having not only refused to
accompany her mother, but fighting most
desperately to prevent the abduction of her
ilttie sister. In the melee she tore the coat
rom on one man and the hat from another.
MIS- Nlele number one sailed for Europe to-
day with her rescued little girl Mrs. Yiele
number two was out riding when the alb
duction occurred.
