A miner on Six-Mile Canyon has two
large spotted lizards as pets. He keeps
them in a cage, to which is attached a
wheel in which they play as cheerfully
as though they were squirrels. The
miner is very fond of his pets. In speak
ing of them he said: They are jist the
cunninest little cusses in the country.
Talk about a squirrel havin' sense, and
a grounding havin' sense; why, nary
one of 'em don't begin to have sense
like lizard. Them little cusses know
me like I was their father. When /
come in from work you ought to see
ther eyes glisten. They jist git mp cn

Personal Baggage of Travellers.

NeW 1Orh L llueS.
A suit has been commenced in the
United States District Court by Assist
ant United States Attorney Herrick,
which is intended to determine the
question as to what articles are or are
not entitled to be brought into the
United States In the personal baggage
of travellers from other countries free
of duty. Under the existing customs
regulations passenger on a rival is re-
quired to make, under oath, an entry
of his baggage, the oath being admin
istrated by Custom House Inspectors,
who board the vessel Immediately on
her arrival, and who make a record of
the entry on blanks provided for the
purpose. The oath is detailed and ex-
act IN requiring a statement of the
precise number of boxes, and trunks,
or parcels, and the contents of each.
Recently Mr.. William Milligan, of Phil
adelphia. arrived at this port from Eu-
rope On the steamship City of Berlin,
and made the required sworn entry.
On his effects being examined after
ward, his trunks were found to contain
a large quantity of silk in rolls, fringes,
laces, and umbrellas which he had
omitted to set out in his declaration, and
the property. since appraised as being
worth s., 663 II, was seized, and the suit
now begun is brought to secure its for
feiture. 1t is alleged, also, that while
the goods were being inspected the
claimant dropped three sovereigns in
money, and told the Inspector that he
might take them {" for his trouble" but
the officer was too conscientious to take
the money, and since then the trouble
has been on Mr.. Milligan's side.
