liver and bowels rendering the first sluggish and
the latter constipated. The brain also suffers by

where they could watch every person leaving the
steamer without beng observed IN return. Soon
they noticed two sailors leaving tho steamship lying
at that wharf whose bulky appearance suggested that
they had contraband goods concealed their
persons. The officers followed tho sailors, who
wcnden their way TO No. Z rnird street, oc-
cupied ms furniture store, leaving 1t
snoruy with every evidence OF having "unloadcd'i
their stores. JacN son and Hussey entered tho store
and accused the proprietor OF bong engaged In tho

commenced TO search the premises, and discovered
