WORK FOR CUSTOMS OFFICERS.
Must Now Distinguish Between Certain Goods from San Domingo and HaytE.

Must Now Distinguish Hsetween Certain
 Goods from San Domingo and HaytE.
 WASHINGTON, April S.-Assistant Sec retary Spaulding has instructed Collec- tors of Customs to exercise great caution in identifying the products of San Domingo and Hayti as under existing conditions certain specified products of San Domingo are exempt from duty on importation into the United States and certain specified products of Hayti are sub ject to duty on importation into the United States.
 This order is made necessary by the fact that the United States has a recip- rocity treaty with San Domingo while the reciprocity treaty with Hayti has been suspended by the recent proclama- tion of the President.
 The difficulty of distinguishing the products of the two countries will be apparent when it is stated that sugar from San Domingo is not dutiable upon importation into the United States, while sugar from Hayti is.

A Diamond Experts Story.

There is man on one of the down town thoroughfares whose business 1t is to examine diamonds and precious stones for people who buy the same and who are not good judges of the value of stones. This is what he told a man who was waiting: "What distrustful world this is. Now, when a man buys a dia- mond or a stone do not blame him for wanting to know the opinion of an ex- pert on the same. But if a person makes me a present l would not like him to know that had no confidence in his honesty. But that is what is go- ing on in certain circles just now. You have no idea how many persons come in here to get my opinion on diamonds and stones which, they confide to us, were presented to them by friends. It is not complimentary to one's friends Perhaps they get around the situation by thinking that their friends were duped. But that is hardly compli- mentary either. However, if it was not for such people my business would bo idle. Chicago Tribune.

HE PROTESTED.

TenderfOOt That Had No Idea of Dying.
 The bad man of the town had been bulldozing all the customers in the Gray Gulch saloon, and finally he rolled across the room and resting both hands on the counter he fixed his terrible eye on the tenderfoot who had just arrived that day to fill the position of drink dis penser in waiting to the sovereign peo- pie.
 Say, young feller," he growled, "do yer want ter die?"
 "I beg your pardon?" said the young man, with the manners of a Delmoni- co bar-ister.
 "You don't have ter," snarled the rough, still holding on to the counter. "I don't do the pard' min; does the killin'. What I want to know is, do you want ter die?"
 "No, l don't, and I won't either" snapped the young fellow, sticking a "44" revolver into the questioner's face. unless you can pull gun with your teeth, for if you move your hands off that counter before say you can I'll fill you so full of lead that the coroner will think he has struck a Galena de- posit that will boom the town out of sight See?"
 The bad man held on to the counter till the tenderfoot made every customer in the place come forward and kick him awhile for luck, then he bounced him out and resumed business. Detroit Free Press.

A MODUS VIVENDI.
The Agreement Signed by MT. Bla

The Agreement Signed by MT. Blaine
 and Sir Julian PauncefOte.
 WASHINGTON, April S-There are strong reasons for believing that renewed modus vivendi on the Behring Sea matter. the terms of which were agreed upon between Sir Julian Pauncefote and Mir. Blaine, was submitted to the Presi- dent by Gen. J. w. Foster yesterday morning and, meeting with his entire approval, was signed by MT. Blaine and Sir Julian Pauncefote.
 Confirmation of this belief is found in the fact that Lord Salisbury started for the Continent last night, undoubtedly with view of laying the matter before the Queen. If further confirmation were needed it might perhaps be found in the facts that our own State Department officials have suddenly become dumb as oysters, and that President Harrison has gone snipe shooting

Another moment, and the brave fellow would have been hacked to pieces; but ere the maddened asSailants could col feet themselves to strike a short, sharp cheer rang out behind them, and they turned to see Herbert Leslie bearing down at full speed and already within thirty feet.
 Supposing that they had only boy to deal with, the half-trained soldiers nonchalantly awaited the onset of this new enemy, but were woefully unde. ceived when, with an easy motion, he parried their downright, sl<illess strokes, then sent the sword of one fly ing from his grasp, transfxed the right wrist of the other and, with deadly thrust en tierce, whirled the first dis armed man to the earth-fnally riding off with his captain, both unhurt, and taking the wounded confederate along as prisoner.

1t is saIn That the BniaAIn9 Charley Ross
 Has Been Found.
 ST. LoUIs, April 8. According to the firm belief of H. G. Sparks, reputable citizen of Benton, suburban town west of this city, the missing Charley Ross, stolen from his parents in Philadelphia DJuly 1, 1874, is found
 If Mir Sparks Is correct in his belief. Charley Ross, now arrived at mans es- tate, is at present living with and em. ployed by him at Benton, and the world famous mystery of the greatest abduc- tion sensation known to criminal annals is about to be cleared up forever.
 So strong is the evidence already gath cred in the case that relative of the boy is now enroute from Philadelphia to Benton. Mo, to meet the young man. The relative is expected to reach here to- day.
 Mir. Sparks says that about four months ago young man bearing the appearance of tramp applied to him for work. After becoming acquainted with him the young man told him enough of his his- tory and so far as he could remember it, to convince Mir. Sparks that he was Charley Ross.

FOUL PLAY CHARGED.
A Young WOman's Body to be E1-
 HNnn

A Young WOman's Body 10 be ER-
 hulaed.
 LANCASTER, Pa, April 6.-A. Q. Mar tin and s. M. Enerich, of Debanon county, arrived in this city yesterday and charged that their niece, Ada R. Elbersole. who was buried at Milton Grove, this county, on March 2s, had been foully dealt with, and demanded that her remains be disinterred and an investigation be made.
 Miss Elbersole died at Dalton, O., and her remains were brought East by her stepfather, Harry R. Weinman, with whom she lived, and who is suspected of having caused her death.
 MT. Weinman's peculiar actions and different stories he told of the girls death, and the fact that he would allow no one to come East with him with the the body, aroused suspicion.
 Investigation has disclosed that the girl, who was in excellent health was ouly sick two days, and that as soon as she complained of being i'll, and before 8 doctor was called, Weinman said she would die.
 Mir. WeinmAn said that post mortem was held at Dalton, and that five doctors who attended found the lining of her stomach punctured with small holes, but could not find the cause for her strange and sudden death.
 The reason assigned by the relatives for the fonl play is that Mir. Weinman desired to obtain possession of his step daughters money. She had been left a good-sized bequest by her grandfather, and as she was to have been married soon it is thought that Wetnman resorted to crime to prevent the money from es- . caping from his grasp. The body will be disinterred and thorough investiga-

Then in quick succession, Septem- Der 10 and 22, followed the sanguinary battles of Winchester and Fishers Hill, both convcrted-the first from seeming defeat-into glorious victories by the genius of Sheridan and his able ieuten- ants and resulting in driving Gen. Ear ly to the mountains, where cavalry could not well operate.
 In every skirmish, raid and battle in which Private Leslie took part he won golden opinions from his officers and comrades, and it was rather curious that on two occasions he owed his own escape from death or capture, and once the life of his captain, to his skill as a swordsman an accomplishment &C., quired from the teachings of Sydney Temple in their college gymnasium!
 Of the first two incidents we need not speak, but the last will bear telling. Twas at tho battle of Winchester, when the union forces were being driven in confusion from the field, under the erro- neous impression that they were beaten. In the melee, the commander of Her bert's troop had become separated from his men and was closely beset in the angle of an old stone wall by five mounted confederates, who, as it hap pened, had already fired away their scant supply of ammunition, and now, with drawn sabers, rode down upon their expected prize, summoning him to surrender. But Captain Vincent's blood was up, and his chagrin at the unlocked for rout of his men was so great that he forgot all prudence and tauntingly challenged the fellows to come on.
 Still more rashly, having two cart- ridges left in his revolver, he dropped a man with each one, and then defiant ly sat in his saddle, his horse backed into the sharp corner of the partial in closure, ana, with his single blade against three, awaited the assault The men, furious at the fall of their comrades, and crying out to ''give no quarter" charged all together; but the space was rather narrow for three horses abreast, and the riders, when so placed, could not well use their sword arms Hence, one of them naturally was forced to the front, and as he dashed in with uplifted saber, the cap tain, lunging straight forward, drove his own blade clear through his body. The trooper dropped his sword, reeled and would have fallen to the ground, but was, for the moment, up held by Capt. Vincent's heavy pull in attempting to withdraw his weapon. It stuck fast, however, and, to save him-
