lie q warm.hearted, kind and faithful man, ready
to sacrifice much II need De and ne brought his
colleagues on the Bench and Bar sound. vigorous

quoted, as an evidence Of Judge COwles' prophetic
spirit, an extract from his speech before the New

up the tarragut testimonial. that 'ne had an idea

THE CUSTOM HOUSE NET.

WORKING OF THE NEW SYSTEM TO PREVENT
SMUGGLING BY OCEAN TRAVELLERS
Great complaints made that the European steam
Ships boarded by Deputy Collector at Quaran
tine enable passengers to take their oaths TO the
dutabe quality Of their baggage before arriving in the
CITY, Against this 1t is urged that Of the said
customs officers too corpulent to board steamships
at the above mentioned point Several representatives
of the Treasury Department at Washington in this
city at the present moment making reports 10 their
department az to the working Of the system ap-
pertaining passengers baggage One Of its present
absurdes is that cabin passengers take oaths be-
fore Deputy Collector, as to their baggage, while steer
age passengers not allowed this privilege From
all reports the oath with people is quite elastic
and treated merely 'Custom House oath" Other
people of more serious frame of mind look upon 1t,
when falsely taken, perjury To people not under
standing the English language 1t is as rule, an empty
formality.
Last week number Of second class passengers from
Scotland went to Castle Garden TO there have their
baggage examined ordinary ''steerage" passengers
rather than take the iron clad customs oath. Many
fashionable women who have merely put on dresses
for a couple of minutes under the oath, 70
said dresses being in constant use" The customs
officers ask them II they have them at evening
receptions and balls and the almost nvariable
is ''Oh yesn Actresses wardrobes are now far
strictly overhauled than previously.
The customs officials collected Saturday upward OF
81 500 duties from the passengers Of the Anchor
