New York, Dec. THE Rev. II. Morchl-
siepen, vicar general of the Catholic arehdio-
cese of st. Louis, and Sisters Voick and Ser
aphine and eight novices, the latter in charge
of Sisters Scaweiniga, on their way to st.
Louis convent, were among the passengers on
the steamship Walsand from Antwerp. They
declared to the customs officers
"a number of dutiale articles shat
they hal brought with them. Sub
sequently officers connected with the special
treasury agents Office directed that the
novices be searched. This was done by two
female inspectors. They found concealed Oh
the persons Of Sisters 5chweinisa and the
novices quantities Of sewing silk, bullion and
silk for making priests vestments Some of
the articles were sewcl in skirts. Those
taken from Sister Sehweiniga weighed four

Mnckey,s Theatre CbaIrs.

CINCINNATI, Dec. THE Enquirer's New
York correspondent telegraphs: Most of our
theatres have had alarms of fires in them.
For that reason l consider the substitution of
Mackey's chairs, whatever their temporary
Inconvenience may be, as a wonderful relief
to the spirits and apr>shensions when one
sits down to see a play. There is not a
theatre in this country that is not liable to be
a cauldron of fire, like the furnace
of the Hebrew children, in any five
minutes of the performance. The moment
the fire appears, with solid mass of iron
seats, exit is almost impossible. The young
actor and manager who first invented the
double stage, and then made these chairs,
gave at least stability to the feelings of thea
tire audiences. / examined the chair when it
was yet an immature model, and | saw at
once that it almost cleared the floor for panic
purposes, springing up like mullen stalk
when everybody rises from the seat besides
having the conveniences of hat rack.

A Little Story with Large Moral, One
Man who Knew his own Business.

bled just now with touch of my old friend, the
lumbago. and the Bensons Plaster seems TO go

Not at present, replied the druggist genially,
"but We have lots of plasters just as good, There
is Allcock's. the Capsicum and others-won't one
of them do just wel?"
my dear SIR retorted the gentleman, with q
slight show of temper. II say nothing against
those articles, but am a business man, and al
ways ask for precisely what want and for moth
ing else. may enlighten you, however when
say that sometime ago, for another disease,
which the Capcine has since cured me, I tried al
those you mention, with no appreciable benefit
They are inefficient, every one Of them, the mean
est act of the proprietors of some of them being
this: that they make plasters with similar sound

they are the same thing. Experience taught me
the difference. III go TO the next man in your line
