OPIUM Smuggling.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-Another gigantic
cons piracy has been brought TO hs hi here
today. IL is an opiSm smnggling schens
the extent of which, at the present writ
ing cannot abe approIimated, though IL
the statements made by the goverpmen ent
agents are to be believed, many persons
in all parts of the country are involved
and many arrests may he
meds to night or to morrow. Today the
treasury agents arrested y man who reg
iste,ed as Z. w. Brown, OF New York. In
his room In houss on Wabash nvepne,
whittier he had been traced from his no
tsl, was found = canvass covered trunk
and 125 pounds of opium.
For some time the custon house officials
had been looking for quantities % opium
which was thought to have arrived In this
city from New York, instead OF the
Pacific coast, presumably to dodge
the heavy duties imposed upon
the drug. For a month special
agent has been engaged in active search
for the stun, suf about ten days ago q
email quantity of the drug was seized at
Fort Wayne, Ind. The news Of the ar.
rest created quite a ssir in the treasury
department at Washington, and wires
we're kept busy with orders and instruc-
tions to the treasury agents here.
Agent Tichensr has been cent
from Washington here and now has full
cnRrgs of the case. He stated to-pigat
that the prisoner was not from Now York
but from San francisco, and that no had
been known under the aliases of G. II.
Martin and G. III. Gardner.

doxsn or more articles are pick ed up in

of which are fve or six years old. They

through most OF these puroes, no doubt,
and after hastily extracting the bills, he

Once or twice, however, pocketbooks
containing large sums of money and
bonds worth thousands have been picked

CHAPTER xxI.-DIvERs OPINIONS.

Although Mona yielded TO Lady FInis-
toun's earnest request, and remained over
the following day, she was really anxious
to return home. The passing contact with
the social strata from which she had been
divorced, showed her how deep was the
gulf that yawned between her present and
her past. She could not return to Lady
Finistoun's set. neither would they that
belonged to 1t pass from thence; she had
thrown in her lot with Uncle Sandy, and
with Uncle Sandy she must abide
During the day and evening which sue
ceeded that last recorded, Lisle had no
chance of speaking to Mona except before
wttnesses-and he grew very nl-tempered
rs time went on.
AT dinner Miss Morton cleveriy captured
Lisle, whose face under the infliction, was
a source OF amusement to Mona whenever
she looked at him. There was no attempt
at danoing-the German dttdchs sang
some duets with Mona, and Miss Morton,
who had a shrill, clear voice-trained to
perform extraordinary gymnastics-treated
the company to some French comic songs
IA performance which SO disgusted Lisle,
that, with an expressive glance ut Mona,
he disappeared and was seen no more.
The next morning was gray and soft,
and Lisle, with Lord Finistoun, st arted
early to stalk deer. Lisle was in a very
bad temper. He was enraged at the smil-
ing ease with which Mona kert him at
bay, and mortified at being helG in check
by the fair woman who so comparatively
short q tins before had changed color
when he spoke to her-whrse hand trem-
bled when he took 1t in bis own. More
over, he was furious with himself for hav-
ing lost the reins of his sclf-control, and
fallen so much deeper ir love than he had
been.
Lady Finistoun exp scted moro guests,
and was unable to accompany Mona on
her return home. Mss Morton offered to
drive her back to Criigdarruch in the pony
carriage. and some time after luncheon
they started. Various important nothings
had delayed their setting out, and it was
nearly tea-time when Miss Morton drew
up the ponies at MIR. Craigs door.
The old gentleman had evidently been
asleep over volume of Metaphysics, /"
which he frequently took up after dinner.
"Here am, uncle, back again on your
hands," said Mona, aoing into the library.
'Aweel, am glad to see your facet"
said Uncle Sandy, ohexfsliy, "though ysa

An Alligator on the Track.

While the train on the Florida South
ern, which was returning Palatka with
a party from Tavares, was coming out
on Mcanopy Junction on Wednesday
night, the engine struck black object
which the engineer at first thought to
be a man. When the engine had been
stopped an investigation proved it to be
an alligator twelve feet long. The
engine struck the saurian just back OF
his head, almost severing the head
from the body.

Queen Victoria has begun to develop
a great fondness for the game OF whist.
She is not satisfied to let day go by
without having her rubber. She is not
brilliant player, bnt she tries consci-
entiously TO satisfy her partner. Those
about her are beginning to be bored by
incessant longing to indulge in the
game. She can stand long siege at
the table, and often wearies those who
are playing with her by her disincllna-
nation to quit. 1t Is said that she hates
to lose her money as much as though
she were poor-ior she plays the good
old English game OF guinea cornet.

The fact that millions Of people in
Christendom believe in regular habits is
not good or conclusive evidence of tho
correctness of the assumption. 1t will
be observed that all persons who turn
their stomachs into clocks or time pieces,
and eat on time to the minute, generally
become gourmands, big stomached, eat
twice as much as they need and die early.
Any person who will eat three meals per
diem by the clock, or take three drinks
of ardent spirits regular every day at
certain hour, or take dose of opium
morning, noon and night on time, they
will soon get so that they will demand
double meals, double the quantity Of
liquor and, it may be, flye times the
amount Of opium. Every practitioner
knows this to be true. Well, you ask
what is the remedy-where is your sub
stitute1 1t is simply to cat and drink

school. he was big enough to take care
OF himself, and go the way he wanted
to. So | did not go straight down the
road, as my mamma told me, but l
climbed the fence to go across the
field. BY and by something said:
"Bow-bow-bow!n and there was a big
dog running right at me. Didn't run!
That dog almost caught me before /
got to the fence. and | tumbled over
and scratched my arm and broke my
slate and tore my collar; so | had to
go home to mamma.
She said: ''Ah, Tommy. boy, people
never get too old TO go in the right way
instead of the wrong one. The straight
path is the right path. Remember
