smugeIIug as a fine Art.

Perhaps the oldest phase Of smuggling
flor smuggling it really was) was patent in
practice which prevailed for several years in
Dover, and was carried on openly in full view
of the preventives and all the inhabitants of
the town. About 1890 the fashion came
up of wearing Leghorn bonnets of exorbitant
dimensions. They were huge straw plaits,
nearly circular and averaging about yard in
diameter; they sold In England at two or
three or more guineas each, their cost was
the duty paid on importing them. Now, ac-
cordlng to law, duty Is not demandabe on
any article of dress worn by travellers. A
clever dealer in Leghorns contrived to profit
enormously by this law. He hired numer-
Gus troop of poorest women and girls
ragged, squalid and wretched- looking crea-
lures they were to be sure-and paid tn an
almost nominal fee for accompanying him
daily in his voyages to and from the French
coast contracting with the captain of one Of
the steamers for season tickets for the whole
of them. The troop regularly left Dover
every morning with scarcely handful of
bonnet on their head. They dined at Calais,
if they could afford to dine, and came back
in the afternoon, two or three score of them,
each with brand new Leghorn of fullest
dimensions on her head, the rag of bonnet
worn in the morning being stuffed in her
pocket. On landing they were all marched
to the SPECTATORS warehouse, denuded of
their luxurious coiffures and dismissed for the
day. A hundred times at least have | seen
these forlorn and battered purVeyors of fash
ion both going out and coming In, and |
could tell the boat they travelled by, while it
was yet miles away, by the straw colored
amber line, which, under a cloudy sky, would
glimmer like streak of sunshine ere the hull
of the vessel was distinctly visible.

EPISCOPAL CATHEDRAL
TO be Erected In New YOrk-A Project
on Foot for Many Years at Last
Gives Evidence OF Gull
mInatiOn.

NEW YORK, June THE EUening Post
says that it can now be announced with GER
tainty that definite and practical shape will
soon be given to the new movement for the
erection OF a Protestant Episcopal cathe-
dral here. This project has been discussed
from time to time tor many years, and was
first taken up IN earnest IN 1877, when it was
actively pushed, but when the arrangement
of bus meas affairs by the panic rendered the
continuance OF the attempt Improbable for
a long period. A charter was then obtained
for the IrcC Yporation Of the Cathedral of st.
John, the divine, and all machinery neces-
say for the execution of the plan was pro-
vIded, so that nothing but success of the
present effort to secure the funds was required
to set II again in motion. The fifth section of
the charter provides that the seats for wor-
shippers IN the cathedral church shall always
be free. The list of trustees included the
names of Bishop Potter, and five other promi-
nent representatives of the Protestant Epis-
copal clergy of this diocese, together with ten
well-known laymen. With but one or two
exceptions, the members of this board, are
now living and retain their positions as
trustees. Large sums are pledged by
number of wealthy gentlemen, amounting
in all to between three and four hundred
thousand dollars. It is urged as an argu-
ment in favor of the cathedral that the do
cese Of New York, which will ultimately be
restricted to the city proper, needs a great
free central church. Then there are many
persons who desire the erection of Protes-
tant cathedral as an ornament to the city,
and many who feel spirit of rivalry, en-
gendered by the completion of the new Ro-
man cathedral. The movement In favor OF
the cathedral has received a fresh impulse
from the fact that the twenty fifth anniver-
sary of the episcopate of Bishop Potter will
be celebrated next November. 1t has been
| suggested that If the site should be secured
this year, the laying of the corner stone by
Bishop Potter would be the most gratifying
event In connection with the anniversary
The trustees wish TO obtain an entire block,
measuring not less than two hundred by seven
or eight hundred feet, in order that there
may be sufficient space around the structure
to give its proportions their due effect. The
location will not be below Fifty ninth street

Opium F~fio-


!, Ithaca J0it'@::aI: The Express reports that
the s..%:.olt of opium inebriation in Rochester
Is practiced to an alarming extent. and in
stances cases where the victims use as high
as Al ounce and a half of morphine a day,
or four hundred and thirty grains. Oae lady
is reported as taking a pint of laudauum
daily, and another consumes from one hum
dred and twenty to one hundred and eighty
grains every week. The practice is also ex-
tensivey followed here, although but few ex-
ceptlng druggists really know the number of
opium users In our midst. The victims in
clude few men and women of prominence
In business and social circles-persons who
are as closely welded to the drowsy drugs as
are the habitues of our barrooms to their
cups. The more respectable among these
OPIUM eaters never visit the drug-stores in
person, but employ children or servants to
procure the opium. In some instances, where
husbands have forbidden druggists to sell
opium to their wives, the women resort to all
sorts of strategy to obtain the pernieIous
drug. Among those addicted to opium are
several Young people

a neaf Mn,e,s AndibIe Thanks.

Petersburg (Va.) Indec-Appeal: "a cir
cumstance of somewhat remarkable char
acter is reported to have occurred
Sunday during the baptism at the
basin. Among the ffty-four candidates
who received the ordinance at the
hands of their pastor, Rev. Henry Williams,
it,, was a colored man named Burwell Lam
caster, deaf mute since infancy. When he
was raised from the water after immersion,
according to the testimony of those who stood
around him, he suddenly recovered his voice,
and in clear and distinct voice called out:
Thank God, thank God!' To those who
had never heard HIM speak word, and who
had ever regarded him as dumb, these words
Of thanks came with startling effect, and
among many of the colored people, taken in
connection with the occasion, the circum-
stance is regarded as akin to a miracle. The
occurrence created a great deal of comment.
What is equally as remarkable is the. fact
that the man, after utterine these words. re-
turned again to his mute condition, and has
been unable since to say anything further. -

Pra,.e God for Graut.

A Methodist preacher of Kingston, New

day, and having a desire, possibly, to sup
plant Mr.. Newman and take the consular
trip round the world himself, proceeded to

''praise God for that other, whom we name

Retaining Land in Louisiana.

An interesting experiment in the line of
land reclamation is being tried In Louisiana.
A company was organized to recover from
tidal overflow a large tract of swamp and
marsh land in the parish of Terrebonre and
devote 1t to the cultivation of rice. The
work of dredging and le7eeing has been car
ried so far that an experimental field of
seventy. FIVE acres of rice Is already in cultl-
vation, and everything indicates that the en-
terprise vii be entirely successful. The soil
becomes firm and solid when well drained,
ald can be drained at a small cost compared
with the returns from the crops. As these
crops are benefited by being flooded from
April t August, the land, when once well
dltched and leyeed, would only need to be
drained twice year, for the spring planting
and the fall harvesting, the water being then
again let in during the winter months for the
benefit of the soil. AS there are countless
thousands Of acres of land of this sort In
Louisiana, the success of the experiment
opens the way for a large extension OF the
States agricultural interests.

New York Times: MANY Americans go

ping. The women do not say SO; they could
not be persuaded to admit it; they are probab-

In our market Tiers was little inquiry, all
that was taken was by one buyer and at
quotation rates The New York BRllet,n, of
Thursday, reports. Liverpool responded
somewhat to expec' stations by opening higher
this morning, and business commenced here
with gain OF about nine points. 1t soon
became evident, however, that the demand
lacked general support and this was followed
by gradually Increased offerings until the
weight became extremely heavy, and, with
the bulls neglsctful, cost was rapidly forced
off along the entire line. The influences
tending to the results reached are not very
clear. but there is supposition that an Ell
fort is being made to break the market until
shippers are induced to operate and send
abroad portion Of the remaining stocks.

unusual character. or calculated to have any

Calico,

New York Tribune: Liberal theo-
logians, scientists and skeptics have
found IN Galileo's recantatlon and trial
By the Roman inquisitlon one of their
strongest weapons against the teachings and
authority OF the Catholic church. Their ex
treme statements have been often questioned,
and not by Catholics alone; but German
monograph, Tirst published in 1875, and now
translated into English, is regarded by
foreign critics as the best work thus far
written on the subject. The title is GaaIileo
GGlilei and the Roman C;;yiG (Scribner &
Weford), and the author Karl Won Gebler,
cavalry officer, who died shortly after he
| finished the work, at the age of twenty
eight. In the edition OF 1875 he pronounced
the celebrated decree of absolute prohibition
| 1.-THE document dated February 26, 1851 a
fabrication. An Italian charged him with
| Ignorance of the original documents, and in
the summer Of 1877 he went to Rome to in
| vestigate them. In a later edition he frankly
| acknowledged that the decree was authentic,
| but he established the fact that it was never
| communicated to Calico himself, and was
| first mentioned sixteen years afterward. In
| the face of this it became more improbable
than ever that Calico ever uttered the words,
| u puI' 81 more (But nevertheless it does
move') moreover, these words first appeared
| in book printed IN the eighteenth century.
Calico seems soon to have recovered from
| the shock of the trial, and on his way from
Rome to his place of exile he walked four
| miles His mental distress at the trial was
no doubt great, for he was in dread of i'm
minent peril and constantly worried by cross
| examinations, but Gebler shows that he was
neither racked nor was he confined to a
prison cell with the sun streaming in at a
narrow, iron barred window. During his
| short stay in the iuquisition building he was
| well nourished, and had private rooms"
