A DIAMOND smuggler, who was well
known to be engaged in defrauding the
revenue, for a long time could not be
caught in the act. He never left ship
and he was constantly going back and
without being searched in his
person as we'll as his baggage, and he
used to twit the officers on their disa-
bility to catch him. At last his trick
was discovered. He hid the diamonds
in the joiner of his state-room, in
serting them in small holes, which were
then filled up and painted over. He
engaged the same state-room for a yoy-
age back, and just before sailing from
New York he took out the diamonds
and gave them to his wife, who came to
see him off. as H o ais 4slt

A letter recently published by Mrs. n. c.
Meeker discloscs the horrible fact that all Of
the women who were held as eaptives by the
indians after the massacre at White River
were subjected to the most ignominious

This fact was given in evidence before the
Commission, but out of consideration for the
feelings of the women concerned, it was not
given to the public.
Companies are being organized in most OF
the large cities for introducing Edison's cleo
trio light. Although Mr.. Edison's expert
ments have so far apparently proved the
practicability Of his great invention, there
are many minor details yet to be worked out

lighting large city. Scientific men gener-
ally are slow to concede all that Edison
claims for his light, while few class it in
the same category with the Kelley motor
and other impracticable inventions.

RECENT investigations of the Post
office authorities have added several to
the list of preposterous swindles which
are carried on through the mails. I'M
der laws lately passed to break them up,
more than hundred fraudulent enter
prises have been detected, A high
sounding advertisement of a United
States Syndicate, protesting to have
been formed to aid the Treasury to dis
pose OF surplus bonds, is prominent
example of these cheats. In another
case the advertisers promised to send a
solargraph watch, described as inclosed
in neat metallic case, compact as a
lady's watch, furnished with neat
chain, and worn like any watch.
1t is, in fact, a. petty sun
dial, costing the dealers about FIVE cents.
The public can not be too careful in
making purchases through the Post
Office from unknown, irresponsible ad-
vertisers.
