A Customs Onicer's Revenge.
New York Times.

Probably the most cruel piece Of re
House official in this port occurred on
board one Of the French steamships. A
certain official. who had been at times
stationed on the dock, had grown very
fond of the fare which the officers, mess
on French steamers afforded, aud it was
his custom TO come there for dinner,
not only while employed on the dock,
but even when stationed at East Biyer
or at HoboLen, Gowanus, or any other
part of the port. Whenever dinner time
came, this irrepi essible ofi'c' al would ap-
pear with CHEEKY smile ald word Of
welcome for his hosts, who, howe rer, be-
gan to treat him with marked coldness.
At last the captain of one II the French
steamers told him that, although he was
welcome while engaged on the dock, he
must not expect his meals there when
employed elsewhere. A few days after.
ward the captain invited a number of
friends TO an evening dinner on board
the steamer. The time came and the
guests assembled. They were about to
sit down at table. when waiter with
pallid conntenance approached the cap
tain and whispered something. The
latter uttered an exclamation of colster-
nation and hurried out of the saloon. It
seems that the official WI had been de-
MED access to the officers mess had
learned Of this dinner, and, in order TO
avenge himself, had placed the Custom
House seal on the wine pantry of the
steamer and had gone away, intending
if called to an account, TO offer as an ex.
cuse that he had learned that some of
the crew had secreted wine in this pam
try which was not portion of the ships
stores, but was intended for some dealer
on shore, who expected to avoid paying
duty on it. The captain was furious,
and, but for the advice of his friends,
would have broken the Custom-H House
seal. A messenger was sent down TO
the barge office TO ask that some official
should be sent up to the dock immedi-
ately. One at length arrived and, after
having been convinced that there was no
wine in the pantry which had not been
duly entered on the manifest as belong
ing to the ships stores, he consented to
take off the seal. But the guests had all
departed in disgust, as not one of them
had cared to undertake a French dinner
without wine.

The Deadly Cigarette.
Richmond W1ig.

The Wing published several dsys ago
telegram from Knoxville, stating that
Cadet Parham Adams, of the academy
at that place was at the point of death
in consequence Of absorbing the poison
of forty cigarettes, which he had on a
wager smoked one after another. The
case turns out to be most remarkable
one. Adams died, as every body sup
posed, at s o'clock Monday mornin &
The body was prepared for burial, and a
coffin purchased. Three hours after his
supposed decease, and in the midst of
active preparations for the entombment
of the body, bystander observed a
spasmodic movement of the limbs. A
doctor was quickly summoned; other
evidences of vitality were discovered.
In time, by the proper restoratives, the
supposed corpse was revived. His con.
ditien was, however, still very precari.
GUS; but he continued to improve, and
at last accounts strong hopes were enter.
tanned of his complete recovery. Cadet
Adams will probably foreswear cigarettes
after this. Coming so near the cause Of
his burial alive, one would think the
very sight or smell of cigarette would
send cold shudder through his frame.

SPRING FEWER.

Persons should not think lightly of that
feeling of extreme debility so common in
the spring of the year. 1t is often the fore
runner Of year of i'll health. II renders
the system very susceptible TO disease, and
is caused by the blood being fillen with
poisonous humors. The blood, by all
means, should be kept healthy, otherwise
its power 10 assimilste nutritious food be-
comes impaired, and dyspepsia, liver COM
plant, headache, nervous debility, extreme
langour, weak kidneys, want of physical
and mental endurance, and general pros
tration is the result. Since prevention is
better than cure. don't wait for the final
result Of springtime indispositioD, when
the first symptoms Of langour are mani
tested, but begin using DIR. Guysotts Yel-
low Dock and Sarsaparilla. As a spring
medicine, it ekcels all other reme'ies,
gently but surely expelling the poisonous
blood humors with which the system be-
comts impregnated, by the incidental effect
of changeable winter weather. 1t makes
the blood red, itch and pure, causes 1t to
circulate with more vim, enables 1t TO re-
new the wasted tissues, and carries strength
aud vitality to every weakened part of the
human system, restoring impaired bodily
functions, and checking all decay OF the
urinary, digestive, and pulmonary organs,
which, if NEGLECTED, too often ends in a pre-
mature grave.

sleepy Old Alexandria.

Does anybody know that seven miles
below Washington, the gayest and most
cosmopolitan city in the Union, is the
slowest, the deadest, the most old fash
ioned town in the world-Alexan3ria,
in Virginia. In former times, when
Washington was a barren waste of ave-
nues and desert Of park reservations,
Alexandria was thriving little seaport
that is, it was port, but it was not any
where near the sea. In it stands Christ
Church, where Washington had pew
and slumbered peacefully on Sundays
for nearly twenty years; OF which he
was a vestryEen, and where the Lee
family always worshipped. The streets
have quaint names-Orinoko street,
st. Asaph street all hundred years
behind the street nomenclature Of the
present day. Now it has quietly put on
its grave clothes and lain down to die
peacefully. 1t is sleepy and provincial
and pretty, and altogether incongruous
in the nineteenth century. The hustle
and hurry of Washington life is as far
from it as If another world, instead OF
seven miles of territory, lay between
them. Georgetown, which the capital
has finally touched with its ever-reach
ing arms, is an Arcadian village still.
In years gone by, when the Potomac
marshes made Washington a place OF
deadly malaria, most of the distinguished
persons then in official life, especially
the foreign ministers, had their homes
in Georgetown. The resources of the
town were rather primitive, as what ac-
tuslly happened 10 the British Minister,
when living there in 1920, proves. Mr..
Canning, afterward Lord Stratford de
Redclifle, cousin Of the great George
Canning, was then an envoy to this
country. One night, just as he was about
to start for an official entertainment at
the White House, an irredeemable scci-
dent happened TO his equippage, and not a
hack was TO be found in Georgetown
Nothing daunted, the plenipotentiary in.
quired If anything on wheels could be
found in Georgetown to be pressed into
the service-but the whole town could
furnish only one vehicle, and that was a
hearse. This was hastily brought out
and Mr.. Canning, laying himselfcarefully
down on his back, was driven at a break.
neck pace over to the White House
When he arrived before the door the
driver bawled out. Make way for the
British Minister'S hearsem The effect
may be imagined but not described.

Removing the Capitol.
Cl6)


A few years ago it was the fashion
among a certain clique Of politicians,
whose utlerauCes were echoed by por-
ton of the press, to clamor for the re-
moval of the Capitol from Washington
to some representative Western city near
TO the geographical cent Of the country.
The topic seemed to prove a seven days
wonder, however and was soon forgotten
in the rush and requirements of the
Nations urgent business. Now whether
the Capitol will ever be removed or not
is not near so interesting question to
some people as whether rheumatism can

The Greek Brigands Of To-Day.
London Daily News

The whole Of the band Of Greek
brigands by whom Mr.. Srter was cap
tured were Christians-tbat is, they
belonged to the Greek Cburch-and no
lees than seven had been in the Greek
army in different grades, and had de-
serted therefrom. Notwithstanding that
every day of their lives is passed in per-
petrating the most heineus crimes, yet
these men never begin a meal without
crossing themselves, and saying their
prayers at night. On the Greek Easter
day Mr.. Suter WAS surprised to find that
each had his candle lighted, and that
after presenting one to the prisoner they
would not begin TO eat till they had
crossed themselves three times, each
time the chief saying, Christ is risen, y
and the remainder answering, Truly.
he is risen," concluding the ceremony
by kissing each other all round, includ-
ing Mr.. suter.
Every brigand wears charm, con-
sisting of either bit of blue glass or red
silk, to preserve his flesh from being
penetrated by bullets, and the faith they
all put in these things surpasses belief
One anscdote is told of q member of
Aristides's band who, during the Cretan
insurrection, was exposed on the top OF

APreacher Punished.
Special to Cincinnati Commercial.

The create st social sensation that
Greensburg, Pa, has had for months was
the one encountered tonight between a
prominent professional man and Rev.
b. J. Jennings, of the Episcopal church.
1t seems, at Sunday-school yesterday the
preacher had made some remark about
the professional mans wife, who is a
teacher in the Sabbath-school. The re-
mark was to the effect that the lady was
untruthful. Tonight her husband heard
of it, and going to the room of the Rev.
Jennings, in the Zimmerman House,
slapped the preacher in the face and
covered his frontispiece with spittle
Rev. Jennings has been in warm water
before, but this is the first open out
break. He had resigned fronl his charge,
and his resignation was accepted on
Saturday. In the early part of his min
istry there he nearly involved himself in
an alteration at the open grave of dead
member of his flock, and ever since has
been losing ground. The chastisement
he received tonight is conceded on all
sides to have been merited.
The Osceola times., 1882-04-01

was all accounted for by blue marble
charm which he wore, and several men
swore to the truth of the above story.
One or two stories, as related to Mr..
suter by the gang round their evening
meal, show their brutality. The chief
of the band, Aristides, one day came
across an old Turk out shooting, who
had with him his piece OF forked stick,
which is used in order TO obtain better
aim by resting on it the barrel of the
gun. Simply for amusement the brigand
chief strangled the man, afterward plac-
ing him in kneeling position. putting
his fowling- piece to his shoulder, and
resting the barrel on the crutch in the
most natural position, 30 that any pas
ser-by would never suspect but that it
was peasant sportsman instead of a
corpse.
Another anecdote was told with great
gusto. Niko, the chief of the band that
took Col. Synge, caught a man near a
saw-mill whom he thought he recog.
nized. The conversation commenced
thus: "Did you not once spy for me?'
"Yes." Did not pay you five liras for
SO doingP" "Yes." Then" said Niko,
take bit of paper and pencil and write
as l tell you: This is the way Niko
treats traitors" After this was done he
first saved offthe mans right hand so that
he should never write anything against
him, next he deprived him Of his ears,
so that he should hear no more ques-
tions about the band, and finally he cut
his tongue out to prevent his telling
tales. Then, wrapping all these frag-
ments in a handkerchief, he bade him
walk to the nearest village to present
them with the note to the Pasha. The
poor man, not daring to refuse, struggled
on till he died from loss of blood.
