A Wealthy Mexican smurglcr.

New York, July aO.--Among the
baggage taken from the steamship
Alaska, of the Guion line, which ar
rived yesterday, were eight large
trunks aud two immense boxes, all
marked Jvse Phillip. This being u
larger amount of baggage than trans
atlantic travellers generally have, the
custom-hpuse officials decided to
examine the contents of these trunks.
The first trunk that was unpacked was
the largest Of the lot. 1t was nearly
seven feet long, three feet wide.a and four
feet high, and was closely packed whit
fine laces, elegant silks, and costly
hosiery. Each of the trunks were ex-
amined in order and containeds about
the same as the first. 1t is estimated
that the total value Of the goods in all
trunks will reach $4,000. The real
owner of the property Is said to be a
wealthy merchant of the City of Mex
leo. Officials say that $4,000 worth of
property Struggled in this manner by
passengers has been captured ut this
port within the past six or eight
weeks.

on October |. He instructs postmas-
ters to limit their requisitisns of three

the actual needs of their offices, so as
not to have stock of unused stamps

fact that the head of Wash

new four cent STAMP. The price of
both the two cent and four cent

tention to the fact that no arrangements
have been made for the exchange of
three cent stamps or three cent stamped

or private parties. The old two and

Boiled beg As a Delicacy.

"The Chippewa Indians consider
dog soup rare delicacy. On one oc-
casion they wanted TO treat me unusu-
ally well, so they invited me to n din
ner party, at which the principal dish
was to be dog. They first singed the
hair of the animal, then held it by the
tail and stirred it around in a pond,
by way of washing. 1t was then
ready to be boiled whole. But
/ had sick headache, and was
obliged TO decline their kind invita-
ton. The Southern Indians do not

GET US JINE IN PRAR.,
How CoIorcd Baptisr Preacher Was
Moved by the P1eadings of His 4c
ATTORNEY.

Moved by the Pleadings OF His c
Attorney.
Gainesville, Ga, July 49, An anus
ing incident occurred in the justice
court at Euharlee. An old colored
Baptist minister named Andrew jack
son Carter sued Pinkney Caysou, a
white man, for $25, and Cayson
pleaded as set off more than
Carriers demand. When the case
was called, both PARTIES answered
ready. The plaintiff was represented
by w. J. Neel, and the defendant by
A. X. Attaway, of this city. Mr.. At
trway who Is Il Methodist, said, among
other things, that while there were
some good men among negro preach
ers, as class they were very great
rascals, and Baptist negro preachers
were the worst OF all. Mr.. Neel, who
is Baptist, decided to say something
in defense Of the moral character of
his client. He grew earnest, and the
old darkey became very attentive.
Tears stood in his eyes, and the crowd
and court looked serious. The speak
er, having succeeded in moving the
audience, was himself moved, and
closed by saying in solemn
manner may it please your honor,
my poor client, instead of
all this TRADE and abuse, ought to hear
the welcome plaudit, We'll done, thou
good and faithful servant for thus de-
voting his time aud talents in pointing
to his people the word Of God that
taketh away the sins of the world"
This was more than the old darkey
could bear, and, with tears running
down his cheeks, he raised his hands
and eyes heavenward, fell upon bis
knees and exclaimed, Let us jinc in
prar.' The court, lawyers and by
ISLANDERS looked on in amazement,
while the old darkey prayed most
earnestly at the top of his voice. At
the conclusion of the prayer the court
rendered a Judgment in favor of the
plaintiff.

TIE CAVE SPIDER.

A remarkable kind of spider is said to
be found in Tasmania. 1t was recently dis
covered in some newly-opened caves in the
Chudleigh district. These caves are stu
ated some six or seven miles from the we'll
known Chudleigh caves, and consist of sev.
eral chambers, the innermost of which,
containing the specimens, is reached with
some difficulty, owing to the deep, almost
perpendicular descents, and narrow, shall
low passages but, when entered, presents
a magnificent, fairy-like scene of wonder.
fully-shaped stalactites hanging in every
variety of form from the festooned roof.
The animal remains, as yet discovered,
are of existing species, but as the caves
have been very slightly examined
it is more than probable that deeper
digging and more careful investigation
may bring to light a greater variety of
forms, possibly some of extinct races.
The spiders, to which the breaking
name of Theridioa troglodytes, or cave
inhabiting spider" has been given, are of
large size, measuring from six to seven
inches In length, and are found only in the
innermost cave, to which not a ray of light
enters. On what they subsist, or how they
find their way about, is 3 mystery, but
that they do both is certain, as they seem
to be in good condition, and form large
nests, which are filled with eggs. Cave.
inhsbiting spiders, some furnished with
eyes and others quite blind, are said to be
found in the mammoth cave of Kentucky,
in caves in Austria, and other parts of the
world, but these are associated with hun
dreds of different kinds of blind beetles.
flies and other insects, on which they
are known to prey. Whether simi.
lar insects exist at Chudleigh, re-
mains to be proved. In New South
Wales the limestone caves have
yielded the remains of the Tasmanian
hyens and devil animals which now only
exist in that island, but formerly, in ages
long gone by, roamed over Eastern Aus.
tralia. With this fact staring US in the
face, it is more than probable that careful
search will bring to light forms of animals
which formerly inhabited Tasmania but
have long been extinct. .-[Sydney News.

A LECTURE ON FLYING.

Martin Upper, D. C, L., author of
Proverbial Philosophy, delivered a lect-
ure recently at the Westminster Aqua
rum, under the auspices of the Balloon So
ciety, on the subject of Flying" Itwas
sixty years ago, Mr.. Upper said, when a
little Charterhouse boy of l3 called one
Saturday afternoon at shabby Office up q
court in Fleet street with a few saved up
shillings of pocket. money, and asked bal
loon agent to give him seat in the basket
in the next fight from Vauxhall. Either
from prudential humanity, or commercial
greed, the agent told him f5 was the fixed
price, and as he could only produce ten
shillings, the negotiations came to nothing,
and he who had long coveted the privilege
that the birds enjoyed was fortunately re.
fused that juvenile voyage in the clouds.
If his pious whim had been granted, and
if he had taken habitually to
aeronautical fightiness, this ambit.
ious young Carthusian would scarce
ly have stood before them that even
ing as an ancient proverbial philosopher.
He had felt desire all through life to have
the wings of dove, and to fly away from
the dross and the dust of earth into the
blue expanse of the heavenly ether. The
thing, he was convinced, was to be accom-
plished in these days of electricity
and concentrated power-perhaps by some
of the lighter gases, some condensed form
of tanned dynamite, some lifting and mo-
tive power, aided by exquisite mechanism,
either attached to the human form, if the
flyer was an athlete, or vehicle with flap.
ping wings, impelled by electricity, in
which he might sit Electricity and gases,
to be carried in the compass of a saveloy,
might, be thought, be SO manipulated by
our chemists as to bring forth an invention
which would supersede every other locomo-
tion-human flight. DR.. De Leslie Hay
said that vehicle for flying should have
the side-long action of fat fish, but
it was evident that if man meant
to soar aloft he must be frogifed, initiate
nature and the birds as much as possible.
He had not the slightest doubt that in
time the navigation of the air would be
as easy as the navigation of the sea.
Sketches of an aerial machine and flying
angels were exhibited, and Mr.. Tupper
quoted largely from his essay written forty
years ago. to show that what he had
prophesied then would surely come to
pass. At present man, with all his ingenu-
ity, was Knocked by every little bird of the
air. The blunt headed balloon must be
done away with, and men must learn to
fly like sparrows. Mr.. Tupper's lecture
was exceedingly amusing, and at times it
was loudly cheered. Il London Standard.
