CustOm-HOuse Night Inspectors.

The night inspectors are appointed
to prevent smuggling, are uniformed
and armed, and are authorized to stop
and search reasonably suspected per-
sons who may go aboard or come from
the vessel. Their Office is by no means
sinecure. 1t involves Watching, ex-
posure and fatigue. The Cuban steam
ers have been wont to bring men who
inclosed cigars in rubber bags and
threw them into the waters of the lower
bay. Confederates in boats then picked
them up, placed them in express wag-
ons waiting on the shore, and then
drove rapidly away. There is some
thing contagious in the glee of wide
awake officials as they relate how they
had watched unseen the whole opera
ton until the wagon was ready to start.
when they seized the reins, and landed
the spoils at the seizure room. One
| French steamer, notorious for snug
Cling by dribblets, when searched by this
force, was found to contain thirteen
hundred bottles of spirits, which it was
intended to send ashore bottle by bot
tie. Tins about an inch deep, and fit
ted to the body under the armpits,
| have been taken from the bodies of men
who we're thus stealthiiy bringing in
valuable bay oil. One dealer in human
hair, who died in possession of about
100000, was detected in illicit impor-
tations under the shirts of his agents.
Another vivacious fellow, belonging to
French steamer, rejoiced in profit
able trade in kid gloves secreted by the
dozen in his immense boots. Sailing
vessels are watched by special agents,
whose duties are irksome enough to
render special supervision by superiors
a matter of positive necessity. Dealers
in contraband goods, scamps who live
by their wits, and interruptions traders
of many kinds tax the resources OF hui
man ingenuity and craft to the utter
most. Logs of foreign wood, cunning
ly excavated and packed with cigars or
spirits; cases of boots and shoes, in the
| heels of which watches and jewelry are
hidden; miraculous trunks, false as
Machiaveli; being thinly hollow on
side and end, top and bottom, conceal
ing laces, hair, trinkets, ETC., ETC., are
among the common devices of ingenious
| free-booters.

that your table shall make fine effect.
and that your dinner shall receive not

comiums of those honored by the at

of place, like the surplice at the alter or

Conversation of Men of Genius.

Tasso's conversation was neither gay
nor brilliant. Dante was either taciturn
or satirical. Butler was either sullen or
Hogarth and Swift were very absent
minded in company. Milton was very
unsociable, and even irritable, when
pressed into conversation. Kirwan,
though copius and eloquent in public
addresses, was meagre and dull in col
loquial discourses. Virgil was heavy in
conversation. La Fontaine appeared
heavy, coarse. and stupid; he could not
speak and describe what he had just
seen but then he was the model of
poetry. Chaucer's silence was more
agreeable than his conversation.
Dryden's conversation was slow and
dull, his humor saturnine and reserved.
Corneille in conversation was so insipid
that he never failed In wearying; he did
not even speak correctly that language
of which he was such a master. Ben
Jonson used to sit silent in company
and sip his wine. Southey was stiff,
sedate, and wrapped up in asceticism.
Addison was good company with his in
innate friends, but in mixed company
he preserved his dignity by stiff and
reserved silence. Fox in conversation
never tagged, his animation and variety
were 1nexhaustible. DR.. Bentley was
loquacious. as was also Grotius. Gold
smith wrote like an angel, and talked
like poor poll" Burke was entertain
ing, enthusiastic, and interesting in
conversation. Curran was convivial
deity. LeighHuntw was 'Elike pleasant
stream" in conversation.

Not a Pleasant Funeral.
From the New York Times. /

lrTOm NEW 4OrK I1m6S.J
Private letters just received from
South Africa give striking account Of
the strange funeral ceremonies per-
formed in honor of the famous Zulu
king, Cetewayo, who died last autumn.
The Intervention of the British authori
ties was fortunately sufficient to set
aside one horrible custom which is as
scrupulously maintained IN Zululand as
in Dahomey, viz, the burying alive of
the dead kings widows, in the same
grave with himself, in order that their
souls may be ready to attend him in the
next world. But the corpse was kept
above ground for several weeks after
death, being fastened in sitting post
ure to stout post in the center of one
of the huts, with al its ornaments and
weapons around it. In the nut occupied
by thisNearful tenant the unhappy
widows were forced to spend many
hours every day for weeks together,
sitting around the corpse, till at length,
as might be expected, they were all but
stifed with heat and with the foul odor
of the dead body.
