v CIGAR SMuaGLERs. - The most
successful smugglers were those en-
gagged in the Havana trade, and the
devices resorted to to avoid detection
were most ingenious. The smugglers,
who had always their allies on the
vessels would frequently visit them in
the lower bay under cover of darkness,
where thousands of the choicest
brands of cigars would be thrown
overheard in rubber bags. These
the smugglers would gather up, place
in their boats and, with mufied oars,
they would pull away and land 10
safety on the Jersey shore, delivering
the cigars to the importers in due
season, who thus save a high rate of
duty and we're able to dispose of them
far below the market value. Getting
on the trail of these scouudrels, in
spectors set watch and frequently
they made haul which paid tAe gov

genuity displayed, and spent much
time examining the contents of millin-
ers' windows. On ore occasion while
standing before very fashionable
milliner's window on Fourteenth
street, was horror-stricken on dis
covering that an immence wreath Of
gayish berries, which constituted the
inside trimmings ola bonnet, was COM
posed entirely Of the berries of the
poison sumac, just as they had been
gathered, not particle of varnish
bronze or other material coatiag them.
The bonnet, when worn, would bring
the entire mass Of villainous berries
on the top and sides of the head, and
a few Of the sprays about the ears and
on the forehead. Stepping into the
store, addressed the proprietor and
asked her if she knew that the bonnet
was trimmed with the berries of one
of the most poisonous shrubs known in
the United States. After staring at
me in puzzled way, she informed me
that / was mistaken; that she re.
ceived those flowers from Paris a week
ago. MADAM" | replied, "there
must be a mistake somewhere, Tor
those, are berries Of the poison sumac
which does not grow in Europe"
She gave me one angry look, asked
me to attend to ny own business, aud
swept away to the other end of the
store. A few days after this | read
in the daily papers an account of the
poisining of number of small girls
employed 10 French artificial flower
mandatory in Green street. I at
once guessed the cause. I visited the
factory mentioned, introduced myself
to the proprietor, told him what !
knew about the poison berries-and
was rudely requested to make myself
scarce. After these two adventures |
made up my mind to keep my botani-
cal knowledge poisonous though it
might beg to myself. Hdrpeys Young

HOW no TREAT YOUR .WATCH.

HOW TO TREAT YOUR eWATCH,
Wind it up at the same time every day.
Keep it in as even a temperature as pos
sble. Sudden transition from heat to cold
may cause the handspring to break. If
you would keep it clean never put it in
any pocket except one of leather. Those
pockets which are lined With cloth, cot
ton or calico, give by certain friction a
fluff, which enters most Watch Gases aud
makes its way to the delicate parts of
the watch. See that the pocket is turned
and cleaned often, and take an old linen
handkerchief and wipe carefully all the
dust from under the backs, bezel and
cap of the case. But above all you must
be sure that the Case fits firmly and to be
sure of this, select one where the parts
(center, backs, cap, &c. are each made
from one piece of metal.
The JAMES BOSS PATENT STIFF
FENED OR FILLED GOLD WATCH CASE
is so made, and not only does such a
Watch Case become stronger and fit more
perfectly, but it enables the manufacturer
to turn and form three pieces of metal
(the outer ones being of gold and the
inner one of an inferior metal into shape
for the round parts, making to all appear
ances and practical purposes just as good
a Watch Case as the solid gold, at about
one-half the cost to the purchaser.
There are nearly one hundred thousand
of these Watch Cases now carried, and
their good qualities are acknowledged by
the same number of happy possessors.

catalogues for gratutions distributions

eve hear a good deal about rings
nowadays and nothing very good Of
them either. / heard Of ring the
other day." writes a correspondent,
that told story-in fact its own
story. The ring glistened on the En-
ger Of washwoman through the suds
iu the tub, and thus betrayed secret.
The lady Of certain house in this
city had advertised for laundress to
come to her house on certain days.
The advertisement was responded to
by neat refined looking woman.
When the laundress had begun her
work the lady saw shining on shape
ly hand a pretty and peculiar ring.
She requested the privilege Of looking
at it. The woman hesitated a mo-
ment and then nervously held out her
hand.
sThat is class ring" said the
lady,
at is" was the response of the
laundress as she turned her face
away.
"Where did yon get it ~ asked the
lady emboldened, perhaps, by the man
ner Of the wearer Of the ring.
1T is my husbands"
"At what college did he grsdu
ate 7"
SAT Yale"
.sIn what class 7"
"The class Of rs"
4sThat ended the interview for the
time, 10 the lady could by no means
get from the washwoman the name of
her husband The lady had been
thus unladylike, perhaps and curious
because her son wore . class
ring exactly like the one in question,
and was q graduate in the class of rs
of Yale. She told him the story, and
one night he followed the laundress
to her room, where he found an old
classmate and college ehum pouring
over some secondhand law books.
He works in the daytime, and SO does
his trump of wife. One day he
win be admitted to the bar, he will
work hard, she will help him, and
when they are rich they can afford to
smile at the story of the ring-which
is strictly true. Ed.

A VERY NATURAL MISTAKE.-A
young man living on Fifteen Mile
Greek came into town one day last
week to buy present for his girl.
His wondering gaze being transfxed
BY the grotesque display in one of the
dry goods windows, he entered the
store and basil 1uliy stepped up to a
pretty young lady behind the counter.
"Hew much are those ?" he INCUR
ed, pointing to pair of Handsomely
wrought nickel-plated garters in the
window.
nSeventy-fve cents" said the
young lady, handing out the articles
in question, and blushing slightly
II think they're kinder purity,
don't you p inquired the young man,
anxious to obtain somebody else's
opinion.
"Very," replied the young miss;
they're the latest STYLE"
Everybody wears then, don't
they ?" continued the young man.
'tAlmost everybody" said the
young lady affecting an unconcerned
air,

nervously. "Do you think she will
like them 7"
II think she might-I--I--I don't
know" returned the lady, blushing
again.
"Well, I hardly know myself" re-
piled the young man, picking up one
Of the dainty articles and examining it
closely.
"You don't suppose they'll be too
large, now do you 7"
"Why, IL" stammerd the
young lady, the blush growing deeper
and deeper.
"They seem sorter big like" CON.
tinued the young man, not noticing
her confusion. "But, of course, I
would not be certain. She's middlin'
size, but not fat I should think she
was about your bigness, and if these
would Gt you they orter fit her.
S'pose you try 'em on, an if"
"Sir |" exclaimed the young lady
behind the counter, in voice
that lifted the young mans hat on
the end Of his hair, "you are insult
ing"
And she swept away tosthe end Of
the store. leaving the bewildered
young man in dumb amazement, hold
ing in his hand what he supposed was
pair of beautiful bracelets.
And when one Of the men clerks
came and explained his mistake, the
young man from the Creek struck q

During the protracted prostration
Of our beloved President, the sympa-
thies Of the sorrowing natien were
closely interviewer with feeling Of
apprehension that his death would
be attended with great disaster to the
country. The particular nature of
the calamity that would ensue was
not defined in the mind OF any one,
nor could any tangible reason be
given for its happening yet to a
greater or less degree every mind
vas impressed with this idea, which
was deepeOed as it became more evil
deut that the period Of dissolution was
at hand. The shock Of the announce

special effort has been made to improve
the ability Of pupils to speak correct
ly their own language. From the low
est classes of the primary schools,
where the children are taught script
letters, written exercises are imposed
daily throughout the whole course.
As the study Of technical grammar
was found to be abundance rather
than an aid to the acquirement..of Ian
gusge the authorities have reduced it
to narrow limits. They have attempt

to substitute practical illustrations of

obtain better results from the reading
classes, fresh supplementary reading
has been introduced in the schools,
and with excellent effect. In their
efforts to discourage sham and cram
ming, the authorities have abolished
daily marking in all the schools, have
reduced the written tests one-half,
and have encouraged teachers to de-
termine the value Of their instructions
by the ability Of the pupils to master
principles rather than to repeat def
nitions or solve puzzles. Altogether
