FOREIGN CRIMINALS.
The Sly Way They Have of Efecting
 Landing in America.

The Sly Way They Have of Efecting
 Landing in America.
 For some time past good deal has been said and written concerning the number of ex-convicts and criminals who manage somehow to land at this port in spite of the authorities.
 4 reporter for the New York Record. CT was present at the arrival of a tramp steamer the other day. The tramp did not carry passengers and did not need a large crew to handle her. Yet she seemed to have many more men than was needed. The reporter remarked this to bronzed man who looked hko sailor. The sailor man looked for a moment at the men, who were practi- cally falling over each other on the ship.
 ''More'n enough to handle the ship!" he said. II sh'd say there wuz, per. vidin' they wuz all good men. But they ain't. Some on lem ain't sailor men at all, an never will be, an don't want to be. They don'tsail under them kind of colors!'
 ''What are they doing on the vessel, then? They are not passengers"
 ''No, not passengers, not eggzactly that" said the old salt, ''an' no more ain't eggzactly the crew. In fact, they be a kind of their own, an a werry bad kind, too, if I'm not mistaken. S'posin' it's Liverpool, or s'posin' it's some other port, I ain't pertickler which. There's always some chap, an mebbe there's more'n one, or two or three, that wants to leave there. I ain't sayin' why, but they want to leave an they want to do it as quiet as they can. They don't want any steamers with detectives on the dock an all that. Nothin' of the sort. They goes to the captain an of fers to ship. Mebbe he says he don't want any men. Then mebbe they say that they are willin' to go for small pay or for to work their way an mebbe a five-pound note gets into the captains hands while he is talkin' that wasn't there before. An then, mebbe when that captains ship goes out that chap what did the talkin' is on board as one of the crew. An mebbe he's on it too when she gets into New York or Boston or some other place. Then mebbe if yoG.went to the captain of that ship 8 couple of days after she gets into this port and asked him where that chap was, he'd tell you that he skinned off the ship-deserted the night she got in; an he'd be tellin' you the truth.
 "Now, mind ain't sayin' anything against that craft over there" continued the speaker, ''but I'll jest continue about the chap I was talkin' about. Mebbe that chap gets into trouble with the police before he's here long, an then it comes out that he's new one here an that he left the other side be- cause the bobbies wanted him. Why, then the newspapers wonder how these criminals and ex-convicts gets here.
 "Now," said the man of the sea, turn ing his quid, T leave it for you to guess how it iS."

A Novel Pencil.

An old German in San Francisco has conceived a new idea which is rapidly bringing grist to his mill. This is the utilization of long French nails as lead pencils. The ingenious mechanic hol- lows out the nail. puts a screw in the head, and then, by putting a piece of graphite in the hollow stem, he has an excellent pencil. The nail when pol ished looks like silver, and the pencils are in great demand
