Sir John RIacdonsId's Story of a Trick
Played on the Customs Officers.


From, the Neto York Sun.
Sir John a. Macdonald, the Canadian
statesman, was the teller of clever girl' S
trick. On his arrival here from Europe
a few days ago he talked about intarna-
tional laws and usages, and the collec-
ton of customs along the Canadian bor-
der was mentioned. A visitor remark ed
that he then had on fur OvercOat that
had Gene from Montreal without paying
duty.
The funniest case OF smuggling l ever
herd OFF, said Sir John. 'Was the bust
ness Venture--and a successful one for a
time-of a remarkably bright and comely
young woman, Her method was TO load
IA lot OF valuable, compact goods under
the seat and robes OF a sleigh, in which
she and man would seat themselves in
the guise Of mere pleasure riders, and
then tie disguised load would be run
right through a town where a customs Of
ficer was stationed. He would stop the
sleigh tor the usual examination. The
nv, careless manner, would object good
humoredly to the delay on the score of the
cold weather.
"'Do you think / am a smuggler" the
girl would laughingly eXclaim. Then,
with a shiVer of her form, a chatter OF
her white teeth, and pretty leaning Of
herself snugly against her companion,
she would add: "A smuggler, indeed !
In this weather I'd rather be a snug
gler.'

safely along uneXamined, a dozen times
at as many points, for who could distur b
the pretty creaturef But at length she
undertook to 20 over the same route twice
and got caught"

A WONDERFUL CHAIsE.
It Goes to Pieces Exactly Like the
One in DIR. Holmes Poem.
FROM the PhiLadelphia Neaos.


From the Phtladeiohia Neaos.
Mr.. Thomas Lister OF 5048 Germantown
avenue, is one Of the most persuasive real
estate agents and one OF the quickest
tongued auctioneers that ever conducted
sales in the upper part of Philadelphia
county. In presence Mr.. Lister is tall
and commanding, and when be takes his
stand in the centre of a crowd OF country
bidders and descants upon the merits Of
the household furniture, hogs, cattle or
farm utensils that are brought under the
hammer, his eagle eye can single out
bidder At the outer edge Of the crowd,
and mis- own gray mOustache rises and
falls rapidly as ne eXpatiates, with all
the passion in his ardent nature, upon
the merits of pasture, hay, perks, white
Leghorn chickens or Chester white pigs.
1t happened, a few days ago, that Mr..
Lister was conducting an auction at the
old mansion oil Francis Latch in Upper
RoXborough, where his brother, Mr..
Benjamin Blister, jotted down the prices
obtained for articles on a sheet Of pa
per as the stuff was knocked down.
There were old spinning wheels sold,
venerable heirlOoms, for the Latch family
have lived in ROXborOugn since the early
part OF the eighteenth century. The bid
ding was spirited, for there were brIc-a-
brac hunters in the crowd who had come
to pay out hard cash for all sort OF worth
less truck in the shape of ancient vases,
cracked Delft plates, moth-eaten tapes
try, and tire irons and kitchen utensils
dating from the time of the eVer-to- be-Te-
mem bered William Penn OF peaceful
memory. Among the other articles sold
was venerable chaise, much like the
vehicle in DR.. Holmes poem, which had
been in the Latch family since before
400, and had stood unused for the last
fifty years in the manor stable.
When the auction was over, and the
stranger who bought this relic at round
sum started TO go, he hitched the
antediluvian vehicle to the back Of his
buggy and got as far as the carriage gate
of the Latch estate when the chaise went
to pieces--went to pieces almost as COM
pletely as its prototype in DR.. Holmes
amusing poem. Its wheels fell apart;
the old leather top caved in; the shafts,
dasher, axle and seat, all rotten as punk
from extreme old age, broke in crumbling
pieces; and the luckess purchaser found
that If he wanted to take his relic home
he would have to sweep it up, box it
tightly and send it by express.

MIR. RANDALHs CASE OF GOVT.
with Preliminary Mention OF a Pair of
Eyes That are Quite Noteworthy.

With Preliminary Mention of n Pair of
Eyes That are Quite Noteworthy.
Washington Letter IN The CIeos1and Leader.
Randall's fight with Morrison is a big
one, but his fight with the govt is bigger.
l understand that he is better than he
was at the close of last session, but his
govt is slowly creeping upward, and it
will need careful care to keep it in check.
To see Randall you would say he was by
no means a sick man. He walks firmly
and has apparently large quota OF life
and ylgor. His hair is still black, and
there is no brighter eye III the world than
his. Randal's eye is large liquid black,
which can fash at times with anger and
again smile and laugh. When he talks
to YOU or you to him he looks you straight
in the eve, and when you are talking 1t
seems to you that this eye of Randall's is
the whole of his face, and it seems to
pierce your very soul.
He is not diplomat in that he never
makes an apology. II he thinks he has
done a wrong, he grits his Jaws and is
sorry in his soul, but he seldom searches
out the man he has uBjustly treated and
tells him so. A newspaper friend Of
mine VINO has done many tavors for Ran
dali told me story yesterday which
illustrates this phase of Randalfs
CHARACTER. ne udu come INTO hdnualIS
committee room to ask him tor informa-
tion upon a certain point, and Randall in
replying made his answer so short and
brusque as TO be insulting. The news
paper man, who has a very sensitive ma
ture, showed by his face that he was much
hurt, and turned TO 90, when Randall,
noting his cOuntenanCe, called him back
Just as he was going out of the door, and
said: MIR. Black, have you any idea
how a man feels when he has the gout!o
"No,' was the reply.
"Well." continued Randall, "he feels
as though 10000 needles were piercing
his feet and legs in every direction aud
squirming about TO find the tenderest
Places
And this was all. Randall then turned
10 his writing, and, paying no more at
tentiOn 20 the man, went on as though no
one was present. He felt that he had
done wrong in speaking 80 GROSSLY, and
this was his mode Of making reparation.

Cornelius got little clerkship in the
shoe and Leather Bank when le was 10,
and for four years he got there as early as
any clerk, ana work as late and as hard.
he allowed himself no extra holidays, ana
neither his father nor his grandfather dld
anything to make his life easier. During
these years his uncle Torrance, going to
Europe for the Commodore, invited 1.-The

father relented and consented. The boy

question OF salary was involved. lie pre-

to 20.
men be was 20 he was made clerk
at the bottom of the ladder in the Hud-
son River Railroad office, and his young
er brother, William X, was put at work
there the next year. For more than eight
cen years, now, they have bowed down
TO II in that great concern, and they are
lar better trained than their father ever
was IN all the details of the business.
They are not fast men. They own no
yacht. They care nothing for clubs. They
are content, up TO the present time, with
one wife apiece. They love their chill
dren, and each family, filing into church,
looks ike pair of gently-sloping stairs.
They care little for fast horses. They do
not swear. One of them is superIntend-
ent OF sunday school, and both are
deeply involved in the various charities
OF tue city.
Cornelius is First Vice President and
head Of finance. William X, is Second
wee President and master of tTansporta-
ton. Eacn knows his business thorough
ly. The most striking thing about either
OF them is that they work as hard as II
they were hired by the job--whlch they
are, by The w2y-and that they are per-
iectly democratic and accessible to any
body who has business with them. On
the whole, the present seniors of the
house OF anderbilt are about the most
quiet, unassuming, well-Oehaved, we'll
trained, and level-headed OF the New i Ork

DR.. Oscar LEM, the noted African
traveller, recently spent a short time in

on his way to the Congo. His impress
sions OF the African republic are not very

can long maintain her independence. l
am told that her English creditors de-
mand the repayment of the considerable
debt she owes them this year. do not

dressed in silks, and the men, attired in
the latest style, are Indifferent to their
unpleasant surroundings, and have their
balls and reunions as in Europe. There
is a good deal of gambling in MonroVia,
and for considerable sums of money.
1.-The inhabitant of Liberia initiates the
European only in trifles and completely
overl0Oks the fact that the white man is
obliged to work. Yet the country is one
OF the best in Africa. The abundant
rains adapt Liberia to the cultivation OF

for the Liberian to do, for white men can
not live there as laborers. Liberals

the best quality. but still it is sold In
Europe. Its culture could be greatly
developed and would furnish the nation
with a source of abundant revenue.
Labor, however. on the coffee plantations
is only another form OF slavery. The
WOrkmen are free but there are more
miserable than veritable slaves
''The efforts OF the government to with
draw the country as far as nossible from
the influence of Europeans show how
narrow and arrogant are their views.
Official corruption in Liberia is so great
that the country is almost certain to be
ruined in a financial point of view, and
some European power is sure, in time, TO

STOCKTON, CAL, Jan. 26.-The San

for the past week. On Sunday a portion
of this city, comprising about one-tifth of
It's area, was covered with water. The
Moss tract, comprising about 5000 acres
of Wheat land was flooded by the giving
away OF 4 iOodgate. The damage is esti-
mated at about $4,000.
At Robert island, which is protected
by levees, the surrounding water rose 9
feet above the level of the land,
A LEVEE GIVES WAY.
The pressure was too great for the
strength of the levee and break occurred,
through which the water rushed, soon
converting 5000 acres of wheat lands and
orchards into a lake. The damage here Is
estimated at $5j0,000. Roberts island is
divided into three portions by means Of
cross levees. The break occurred in the
middle division, and fears are now enter
tanned that the cross levees, which divide
the upper and lower portions from the
middle section of the island, may give
way. If the break in the leyee is not soon
repaired there is little hope of stopping it
for week, although most strenuous eff
forts are being made to repair il at once.

FITTED FOR ARCTIC DISCOVERY
How q Cincinnati Man Had Little Fun
and Fresh Air.
Ft0D, tie Oinctnnati Commercial.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.
1t was midnight or a little later. He
was standing in SIX inches of snow at the
northeast corner of Fourth and Race
streets. The wind didn't blow through
his whiskers, because his chin and cheeks
were clean snaven, but the way it made
music with the telephone wires for strings
would put to blush the harmOnies of the
-EOlian and the wall of the banshee. He
had just come up out of the cellar to geta
breath OF fresh air. His costume consist
ed of shoes, socks. working pantalOOns,
aud an armless undeTshIrt, open at the
neck. He was an athletic young man,
with very white skin, clear face, and
sparkling eyes, and he appeared to enjoy
this outdoor atmosphere of few degrees
above zero. His bare hands were crossed
upon his bare arms, and his bare chest
was exposed to the Zephyrs from the
north. He stood leaning against the stone
pillar of the building, putting contentedly
at cigar caught In holder. A solitary
pedestrian, emerging from a swirl of
snow dust, halted in stupe6ed sort of
way, and after a moment of hesitation
and pulling his cap down about his ears,
and drawing his ulster closer about him,
venture to ask the handsome statue il he
didn't think he might be liable to the
charge OF forcing the season just little !?
The answer was slight laugh ana this
remark:
''Oh, no, it was getting a little close
down in the cellar, and l thought I'd
come up and take a smoke"
He seemed to be utterly insensible to
the cold, and explained that from child
hood he had subjected himself to a regime
of cold water aud cold air as a stand. of
for an original tendency TO pulmonary
trouble. His discipline included regular
exercise for muscular development.

William A. Vincent and wife returned
yesterday from a trip to the City of
Mexico. They had beautiful weather for
their trip, and were fortunate in reaching
the Mexican capital in time to attend the
greatest bull-fght that has been seen in
the republic for a generation. Judge
Nincent's description of the scene is
vivid. A celebrated matadOr from Spain
is starring through Mexico at present.
and the visitors witnessed his perform
ance at an amphitheatre located just out
side The federal district. some 5000 peo-
pie occupied seats in the amphitheatre.
-Four horses were ripped to pieces by the
Infatuated bulls, and three bulls were
slain, but when the fourth bull dashed
about the circle and became so fierce as
TO territy the attendants and even the
brave matadOr, the auditors Kissed and
shouted and called them set of towards.
The bull was clearly master OF the situa-
ton; none dared 10 approach MIN, and
the audience was canNassed tor fighters
who had the nerve to stand before him.
Two local celebrities entered the arena,
but were soon put to fight, and. as q
final resort, the attendants lassoed the
bun. dragged him 10 the centre Of the
arena and deliberately cut his throat. A
similar scene was never before witnessed
in Mexico. II was conceded that this
was the most vicious bull that had ever
been turned loose in the republic, and the
deliberate manner in which the gritty
animal was done tor so aroused the spec
tators that they literally went wild with
rage. They tore the seats from the amphi-
theatre and hurled them at the bull
fighters, VINO were forced TO fee for their
lives, and before the crowd lett the place
the structure was almost wholly demol.
