The lady CORES sp0ndent of the ST. Louis r.
,uJhcan. writing from New York, infinitely
describes the yarions tricks resorted to by
the female snugglers for getting their silks,
laces and diamonds through the Custom
House. The officers have only to look these
females in the eye tO see to dozen Just the
number Of gloves and Just the number of
wards OF silks and iaces aud yelvets they have
on their minds. If the thing is managed
rightly they usually pass the men, and even
when handed over TO the female examining
Custom House officer they get clear, for the
women officials are Just A. smart as the men.
You put a handsome ring on the intruding,

quantity of diamonds to get through, and on
the dock she was told she must be examined
The dear girl protested 1t was no use So
turning to her fellow passengers she babe
them tender adieu. The warm embrace
she bestowed on one lady was touching she
kissed her not once hut twice. and with each
kiss she gave into her friends keeping soli-
taire worth $4,000 Then she went off with
n whole mouthfnl, which she would have
swallowed like 50 many pills rather than dis

awful big stones impeded her utteran,e, and
she intended giving the Castom House peoIl,

Every one in Brussels must have seen a
man literally clothed in white from top to
toe, for not only are his garments Of that
color, but also his hat and boots. During
the late severe frost there was great curiosity
manifested to see if he would perseyere in
wearing the same costume, and he stood out
iaaniuliy until Thursday, when he appeared
with an enormous cloak and hood, in addi-
tion to the dress he has so long worn, but
was still true to his chosen color, and odd
enough he looked parading the streets
amongst persons in black or other dingy
coats. lie is said to be a Dutchman who
some years ago made fortune in Batavia,
hut was afflicted with coup de Sole.l. The
doctors recommended his return to Europe,
and following their advice he fixed his abode
in Brussels, where he has now resided for
some years. His eccentricities are harmless,
and mainly consist in the firm belief that he
has personal and intimate acquaintance
with the sun, who never fails to honor him
by shining when he takes his promenade
His apartments, even including the ceiling
and the floor, are gilt, and he fully believes
that this was the worS of his kind friend,
who had also endued him with the power of
stopping railway train at fall speed
