Revenue Frauds.

The Government at W ashington has
been active, recently, in breaking the
whisky ring, tina: La. defrauded the
Government of Its revenue and flooded
the country with liquid that men who
have regard for their mental souudness
and physical health should never touch.
1t is also now directing Its attention to
frauds that have been and are yet prac-
ticed In the custom houses of the coun-
try, and particularly to New York. A
New York merchant, in a communica-
tion printed in a paper IN the city jus.
mentioned, states his experience as to
the ways that are employed BY officials
themselves to smuggle goods into this
country free of duty. The point in
question in his communication reads:
"As you are aware, it has been ncc-
essary for me, or the firm with which 1
AIN connected, for many years past to
have daily dealings with the custom
house officials. AS . consequence,
Am well acquainted with them. A short
time ago | went to Europe on a pleas
ure trip with my family, and in London
aud Paris was surprised to see large
number of ext ustom- house Inspectors,
aud detectives who were sent 10 Europe
to watch smugglers. They all ap-
pS2aireedd te, be in the possession of good
incomes, and boarded at tie highest
priced hotels yet knew that they
hadn't dollar in the world when they
went into the Government service, and
! could not understand the source Of
their income. After making my tour
and returning to Paris, announced in
the presence of some Of them that /
was .homeward bound" Then they
winked significantly one to another, and
one of them took me aside and said, 81
want you TO let two or three trunks of
mime 90 over in your name. It's all
right; you needn't bother about it, The
telegraph Is q more modern invention
than the steamer, and the custom house
officers ON the other side will pass them.
lou must only keep quiet and not dis
Claim them. Everything else will be
attended TO-" told this man that l
would not be party to smuggling, if
that was what was meant, but the ex-
eastom-hoase oficisl shrugged his
shoulders, diselaimed any such inten-
lion, and simply pleaded, ''lf any trunks
20 ir your name that you don't Own,
favor me by not disclaimiDg them" l
thought nothing further of the matter
till got aboard the ship, and then five
trunks not belonging to me were sent
with me in my name. l ought hot tc
omit stating that before the proposition
10 carry these trunks through had been
made, these ex-ofhcials took me to sew
eral places where the finest laces, silks,
gloves aud such things were solo, made
purchases, and urged me TO do the
same, insisting .hs, ] could pass them

The Impending Grasshopper
~lf1 Piapne.


BY dispatches from the West the
world Is informed that at this early
time Il the summer the grasshopper
plague threatens a portion Of Mines
gotta, the States of Kansa. and Mis-
sourr, and creates a sense Of uneasiness
in the minds of the people Of Illinois,
Indiana, aud other surrounding States
Ii may seem Inconsistent to hope for
au untru,b, and yet there is a general
hope that the dispatches may prove to
be untrue, or at least 10 such degree
that no serious damage may arise from
the visit or raid of grasshoppers.
So terribly have the people Of Mis-
souri, been alarmed that the 3rt day OF
June, coming, has been appointed By
The Governor as day to be devoted to
PRAYER to God for q safe deliYerance
from the dreadful irsect scOurge that is
impending.
1t is consoling doctrine TO believe
that whatever Deity does is for fhe
good for the bettering of worldly af-
fairs. Il Is comforting to believe that
VIC should praise God even in the midst
OF calamity.
The plague Of insect life that eats up
the substance o: the higher order OF
life, such as that OF naE and beast,
find life aud gation in one of Gods
kms. He made the law that gave them
life.
Why tie grasshopper should be made
TO eat up the grass and grain, and starve
out man and beast, and convert their
helds into bare, barren wastes is past
finding out. There are people who tell
that there is nothing in it but the ma.
,ure of the insect TO do so, and that the
remedy lies in finding out the source Of
the life of the insect, strike at it, and
the trouble will be over; or, employ
some other living thing to ca; up the
grasshOpper. They do not see in 1t a
plague sent by Deity to punish man.
Once they demonstrate the correctness
Of their news the world will not be
slow to accept them Their views DOW,
however, are SO crude that they are not
even understood by themselves, and
Sare little weight when put in the bal
unce with the belief that fills the minds
Of all people to day, and occupied the
minds Of all people Of the past, that
there is Deity who presides over ami
mate and inanimate nature, aud who is
ever ready to listen to mans hopeful,
hearty mental appeal in prayer for aid,
or deliverance, from oppression, famine,
pestilence, or other impending calami-
ties. 1t has been the belief Of the
world of the past. 1t is the belief of
the world of to-day. Let the whole
country pray on the Bird of June for
liverance from the grasshOpper plague.

The Harrisburg Telegraph of the
18th says: "On Friday last FIVE chile
rem belonging to Joseph Dare, residing
about two and half miles from Marys-
vile, in the Fishing Creek Valley,
were taken suddenly Ill, ani on Satur-
day the father called on DR.. Traver, of
Msrysviile, stating that FIVE Of them
were down with cholera morbus, and
requested that be should call and see
them. Upon the doctors arrival he
Immediately pronounced them poisoned.
Autidotes were administered accord
ingly, and au investigation made into
everything that could be thought of,
from which il could have resulted, but
no satisfactory discovery could be made.
On Sunday morning the doctor was
again summoned to see the two re-
naming children, who we're Frustrated
in the same manner, the father and
mother being also slightly effected.
Another investigation was made, and
the source of the evil was found in q
tin fruit eau, in which tomatoes were
put up, of which the family had all
psrtaken. The can had been in use for
several years, aud the acid of the fruit
had destroyed the tin coating, produc-
ing a metallic poison. The inside Of
the can presented eoppery appear
ance, and emitted an offensive metallic
smell. The symptoms exhibited by
those affected we're violent vomiting,
intense thirst, with metallic taste in
the mouth, and great prostratioa. For
tunately, through the promp, discovery
of the character of their illness, and
vigorous measures being adopted, all
the members Of the family are now in
fair way for recovery" f. .at
Last Sunday week FIRE broke out
in a piece of wood in Upper Berne
township, Berks county, IN which st.
Michael's Church is located. The
Reading Eogie writes this of the dis
aster "lt was about two o'clock IN
the afternoon, and the church was
packed. Rev. 7. c. Leinbach, Of
Womelsdorf, was reading a seriptural
lesson, when of a sudden the terrible
cry Of FIRE was raised. One Of the
members rushed rapidly forward to
Rev. Mr.. Zweizig in the pulpit, and
informed him that the dry trees and
leaves of the adjoining grove we're on
fire, and that all the horses aud car
riages therein were in danger Of being
burned up. Mr.. Zweizig Immediately
announced it, and wild panic ensued.
Everybody rushed to get out, and when
the congregation reached the burning
woods, the flames shot up fully twelve
feet. The people at once set to work
to extinguish Il. The scene was terri
bic iD the extreme. Horses neighed
and wLinnied in their agony; people
screamed, men rushed backward and
forward, excited and anxious to render
assistance. The fire broke out in the
woods where the horses stood tied.
The flames spread rapidly, and the e1-
citenent was intense. Hundreds of
horses we're in the woods. Tue ,nen
we're bold and cut the horses loose as
fast az they could. The horses ran
away in all directions, xrecking the
buegies. Other korses we're burned
and ran away xhile tie buggies were
in flames, others we're running while

the trouble among the coal miners II
follows .:The strike in the Clear field
mining region is virtually ended. A
majority of the miners in their severa
districts voted to return to work ct the
old rates, provided all of them were
taken back. BY the morning train
from Tyrone about dozen men came
to take the place Of the strikers. Each
man was srmed with . rife, to be used
for his own defense, If necessary. An.
other batch of new men are expected
to morrow, and ON Saturday, or at fur
shest by Tuesday Of next week, the
operators expect the mines to be work
ing up to their full capacity. Some
trouble may arise from the fact tha,
nearly 200 Of the strikers will be re-
fused work, and their places be filled
permanently BY new nen. Most of the
men who are to be refused work are
prescribed BY the advice Of Captain
Clark, in whose knowledge of the tur-
bulent spirits among the strikers the
operators have the utmost confidence.
A small number of the strikers went ia
to work this morning, and several were
refused permission to work BY the su-
perirtendents; but the great body oi
the men have not yet gone into the
mines, nor is it likely they will before
Saturday. Xipgo Parks, the paid or
