One Hundred and Fifty Ladies
Searched for Struggled Goods.


From the Detroit Free Press, Oct. %.
1t is a fact probably better known to the
Custom House officials than TO outsiders
that at least every tenth woman whocross-
es the Detroit river carries smuggled goods.
The goods may be tea, coffee, socks, threat,
ribbons, or something else Of no great value, !
but the intent to smuggle Is there, ara the
success In bringing over small lot Is
nearly always an inducement for the SNUG
gler to try the game on large scale.
MEN MAY AND DO sSrUGGLE CLOTHING
now and then, but it is the female sex
which carries the burden Of guilt. The
Custom house officials at the ferry dock IN
this city are as vigilant as officers can be,
but what chances have they agsinst mon
alter hoopskirts and gigantic bustles. Tbey
cannot stop to peep under shswls, examine
nockets. look into baby-csrts and hold
crowd on the boat, and so they must con-
time their work with the knowledge that
goods are being smuggled, and that only
one Grand and certain haul Of their nets
can trap the guilty aud frighten the limo
cent 80 that they shall never dare to pursue
the business.
THE NET WAS DRAWN YESTERDAY,
The officers commenced about O'Clock,
waking fifteen or twenty women up sL4lrs
into the custom rooms, and handing them
over to a woman to be searched. Every boat
load which landed, for about three hours,
was treated in the same manner-tnst IS, all
the female portion. Some were indignant,
and appealed to their husbands, who yalnly
appealed to the customs officers. Others
wanted to faint away, but, after looking at
the panks and the dust, concluded not to.
Others wept, laughed, or turned pale, but
none Of them were permitted to escape.
During the afternoon about one hundred
and City women were confronted by Uncle
sam, and the old man had good deal OF
fun and made some wonderful discoveries
For instance, q modest little woman, who
was in a great hurry to go home to her sick
child, pulled out few pins, aud ten yards
of English flannel fell on the floor.
A TALL WOMAN,
with tears in her eyes, who asserted that
she would sooner chop her head OF than TO
think of smuggling, unfastened pound OF
| tea from her skeleton, and asserted that II
must have been placed there by some de-
signing person. Another one indignantly
denied "the right to search, but, after
remaining a prisoner for an hour or two,
told the searcher to s'take it and go to grass,
throwing a package of ribbons and laces on
the floor. A lot of calico was found on
another, and at least 10 per cent. Of the
whole number were found. to be engaged in
smuggling. The officials were satisfied
with confscating the goods, and it is said
| that women who land from Canada dur
ing the day to-day will be marched up
stairs and turned over to the care Of the
grim female, who heeds no threats and
melts st no signs.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Drunken Wan ON n railroad Rum
Over and Killed.

On Tuesday evening last passenger train
No. 1. or the Decatur division of the Great
Southern Railway, ran over a drunken man
about a mile and a half south of Pulaski,
cutting his body in two, causing instant
death. The engineer, Mr.. Rust, just as be
passed out of cut and was maxim curve,
saw the object on the track, and thought at
first glance that it was log of wood, but
Immediately afterwards was convinced that
it was human being. He was now with
in one hundred and eighty feet of the
man, and sounded the alarm, and gave
direction for down brakes, but it
was too late to stop the train.
When he heard the alarm, the unfortunate
man attempted to get up, but he was too
much intoxicated, and the next moment
found him a corpse. The wheels passed
over the lower part of the chest, one por-
ton of the body being entirely separated
from the other. As soon as be could stop
his train, Mr.. Rust went back, Took up and
conveyed the remains to Prospect. The
name Of the unfortunate person was not
ascertained, but 1t is stated that he was
from EiiZabethtOWn, KY, and bad been at
work for q gentleman in the neighborhood
for some weeks. Mr.. Rust, who is pru-
dent and careful engineer, regrets exceed
ingly that such an accident should have oc-
CURED, which, however, was out of his
mower TO avert.

CnrRnhhars Arrested.

The Knoxville Chronicle, Of Nov. Il,
says:
"On Sunday night party of three, Jake
Robinson, Mat Rose and Charles Tnurston
were arrested On the charge Of lobbing
car on the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad. a warrant has alse been
issued for the person Of Rush Pate, who is
sas also to be connected in this affair, but
I'D to this hour the officers have been una
bic to discover his whereabouts. The par
ty were taken before E-quire Jourolmon,
for trial yesterday evening, but only part of
the evidence against one Of the parties was
heard, when the case was continued until
to day at O'Clock. From the evidence so
tar deposed it appears hat the car was
broken open about 7 or O'Clock on San
day night and some goods boxes were
broken open, when the thieves helped them
selves 10 whatever they wished. Jake
Robinson, the one first taken TO trial, did
not steal any of the goods, oh, 10! not he,
but he only looEed in at the car door while
another of the party did the stealing, AMI
be afterward paid him five dollars for suit
of clothes, pair of boots and satchel full
of other articles Of wear. He is perfectly
innocent of any wrong, but it is our opin-
ion thst jury Of II men will have to de-
| eide this question"

.aer Heart wa. over the sea-,

Sunday last q number of English and
German immigrants landed at Knoxville,
where most of them will settle, though some
locate at Ducktown and other parts OF this
State, Among the number was beautiful
Young lady named Miss Moss, who, years
90. gave her heart TO 8 young gentleman
IN her own country. Time sped on, and
the stern duties of life with pictures OF new
ooeued avenues of fame and wealth caused
tie lover to leave his native home and set
tie at Knoxville. Constant and unal-
terable in her affections, Miss Moss
refused the suits Of several, always
telling them, we imagine, "you need
not now come w0oiDg to me, for my
heart, nv heart is over the sea-" for verify
dotn such seem. Leaving all the dazzling
splendours of her paternal home where
wealth and Injuries we're at her command,
Miss Moss babe adi8u and soon was SAIL
ing over the wave furrowed deep, watching
the wide expanse of waters, whose distance
between her lover and herself decreased at
each onward bound of the vessel. 1t was
then with no regret she looked to the curl
ing waves which sparkled with joyous beau
ty meath the glancing sunbeams. She Is
said to belong to an aristOcratic family In
England, but love being the ruling power,
she succumbed to its influence and
it then became guiding star
to cam lurngly even cross the wide rolling
sea, bringing joy and golden light and hap,
piness. Miss Moss is nOs in Knoxville and
most likely has found Der lover faithful
welcomer. Certainly a beautiful being whose
love in It's first blooming is tinged with
such romance deserves reward and me rits
happiness. The romantic traveller stop PED
awhile at Lynchburg, Virginia, aud is thus
referred to by the Republican:
sShe is a beautiful woman aud evidently
places the same reliance on American honor
ana gentlsmsnliness that the far-fAmed May
den Fayre' did on that OF Green Erins sons,
for she travels entirely without escort. John
Ninckle, the veteran baggage manipulation,
saws that she had "a whole world OF trunks.

RuraI Beauties and City Bellies

Rural Beauties and City Bellies
Country girls are not whit behind their
metropolitan sisters in the natural elements
of loneliness, but it must be conceded that
the city bellies best understand the art OF
preserving and frightening their personal
beauty. The most perfect features lose half
their attraction unless the complexion is
properly cared for, and if the pretty girls OF
the rural districts wish to compete with the
"fairstars' of the fashionable world in re-
fined attractions, they must pay due atten-
ton to this important point. They ought
to know, for the fact is notorious, that Hs-
gan's Magnolia Balm imparts to the skin
delicate, pearly appearance, unproduceable
by any other preparation under the sun.
No matter how the cuticle may have been
roughened by exposure or discolored by the
sun, the Balm will render It soft and plia-
BILE, and removes every blemish.

THE DEADLY CUP.
An Intoxicated Man Killed by Fall
lao through a Railroad Bridge

Philip Kennedy, employed for the past
three wears at the Cumberland Nursery, at
Edgefeld junction, was killed last Tuesday
night by falling through the bridge across
Dry Creek, near that place. 1t Is supposed
that he attempted to walk across the bridge
while in an intoxicated condition, and, fall
ing through, was instantly killed, 1t being
known that he had been drinking exces-
sively for the past several days. The dead
BODY was found beneath the bridge at an
early hour yesterday morning. A jury CT
inouest was summoned by Coroner Everett,
and the result of the inquiry was verdict
in accordance with the facts as above
stated. The deceased was worthy man
and competent workman, whose greatest
fault was theoccasional habit OF excessive
induIpence in strong drink.

0Tbe Iessees of the Georgia State Road
estimate their loss of business from the
completion of the South and North Road
to Montgomery, and the consequent diver
sion of the whole Western business of Ala
bama from the old loute over the State
Road, at 100000 per annum. A strong
effort will be made to make up for this loss
by extending their connections. The lease
shares do not rate as high as formerly. The
lessees held a meetings few days ago to
devise ways and means to raise the sum of
100000 to pay the present outstanding in
debtedness of the company, and 70 COM
