seen galloping down the alley and husky

The Belle of the West.
A WOMAN WHOSE BRIDAL FAN WAS Cur ixro
BIrs FOR REJEcrEp SuIroRs.

Some "reminiscences Of q very noted beauty
and belle were brought to mind by seeing her
name lately brought again into prominence
by the sad state of one also noted for her
loveliness, Miss Sallie Carneal. She Of the
olden time so tar distanced all of her COM
peers by her beauty and wit that she was
known far and wide as the belle of the
West" the "Great Western" and other
names. Her form was superb and her face

these physical endowments she had a great

was very affable when il so suited her, or
naughty when called on to make distinction
among the very many who sought her ac-
Quaintance. One New Years day an aspiring
young shopkeeper presumed, on his having
sold her some silks, TO call and claim her at
tention and was soon compelled to explain
his position.
Another, a gentleman from = neighboring
town, more fortunate. He asked
friend to call with him on Miss Carncal.
The friend was only too happy, thinking he
would at last be presented to her. When

the friend. that MIR. b was also a stranger
to her. He smiled a: the success OF his
ruse, and explained that he could not leave
Cincinnati without seeing its greatest orns-

Ingenious Smugglers.

Smuggling as carried on upon the Russo
Polish frontier. must be highly remunera-
tive pursuit, judging by the elaborate and ex-
pensive mechanical appliances utilized by its
practitioners. Information having reached
the customs authorities at Alexandrovo lately
that the locomotive of the express train leav-
ing that station AT a. m. for Warsaw had
been ingenionsly converted into a veeicle for
defrauding the revenue, the engine in question
was subjected to careful inspection during
its brief sojourn in Alexandrovo station.
Nothing was there discovered; but the infor-
nation received was Of SO positive character
that the chief collector resolved TO send one
of his officials, accompanied by two gendarmes
in charge OF the locomotive to Warsaw,
where it might be taken to pieces and thor
oughly examined bv skilled mechanics. uu-
der the direction of Government railway
engineer. This was done Immediately upon
the arrival Of the train at Warsaw The en-
gine's furnace and boiler were emptied, and
it was delibera ely dismembered, bit BY bit,
until secret compartment in its interior was
discovered. containing 123 pounds Of foreign
cigars and several parcels of valuable silk.
Several arrests were made in consequence of
this surprising disclosure, including that of
the engine-driver. whose wonder and con-
sternation when his locomotive was proved
to be hardened smuggler were so obviously
genuine that he was speedily released and
permitted to return to his duties. 1t is evident
that in Russia men of considerable parts and
the technical education must find it worth
their while to practice systematic frauds up
on their national Custom House. The de-
visers Of the above ingenious contrivance
may certainly claim to rank st the very top
of their profession.
