Smuggling Through the Mails.

Can you tell me some of the devices
for smuggling goods through the mails?"
''Laces, kid gloves, silk stockings, silk
handkerchiefs, and other light articles
are inclosed in newspapers and pamph-
let's. They areinclosed SO that it is hard
to detect them. A pair of silver sardine
tongs, going to California, was recently
found hidden in a package of pamphlets.
In an English newspaper were discovered
lady's silk stockings, one black and one
red. According to the revenue law,
these might have been taken as samples
and entered free. A trick was suspected,
and the articles detained. The next
steamers mail contained newspaper ad-
dressed to the same person. In it were
folded one red and one black stocking,
to match the others. The lady to whom
they were addressed was sent for and
paid the duty.
'sOld Bibles and books are used to send
watches and other jewelry, the leaves
being cut and spaces followed out to
hold the smuggled articles. One book,
arranged in this way, disclosed, on being
opened, three gold bracelets, two watch
chains, two lockets, set of sleeve but
tons, five gold pins and two necklaces.
This COLLECTION was on its way to lady
in Cincinnati. 1t was appraised at 1884.
One mail will bring the first part of a
book, and the next mail the rest of it !;
but this trick for getting in books free
is rarely successful. ''-NeaU York Sun.
