It is understood that $40, 600 worth Of

IN q paper parcel about rs wide as this
column, ~ inches high and about a
quarter Of an inch thick, it is easy to
comprehend that such a package cen be
kept securely in place by means Of an
innocent but ASghly scryiceable porous
plaster.
One Of thu most ingenious methods
ever employed vas tho use Of a cake Of
soap, wherein q number Of diamonds
had been imbedded. Il is highly proba-
bic that this plan would have proved
successful had it not been that tho OH
GERS of the government had received in
formation that tho suspected person had
diamonds with him and searched his cf-
focts so thoroughly hat they examined
even the gem studded block Of soap.
The wife of this smuggler helped her
spouse, and her plan was not less ingen-
ious than that Of her husband. Her hat
was o~rnanouted with punches Of grapes,
which under ordinary circumstances
would only have awakened the envy Of
other wcarers Of bonnets. Within the
grapes were diamonds aud fancy stones
Of great value.

As these schemes have become known
to tho custom house authorities the in
genuity Of amugglers has been more &c.

closed tho following elaborate plan,
which succeeded great many times be-
fore it was discovered:
Two smugglers operated in partner.

fore leaving the wharf reserved a return

tho number Of the berth were at once
cabled to his accomplice in America.
Having purchased his diamonds, in due
time he returned to this country in &C.
cordGnce with the instructions previous

resulted in fnding any diamonds upon
his person. Meanwhile, however, his
partner had secured tho same berth.

are Disconnected with their sphere
in life; they are masculine in dis
position and mercenary in aspira-

maternal duties Of the Preside are
abrogated through their ambition
to pose rs public reformers; the
claims of society have been subver-

worldly fame, and instead of ele-

General Neal Dow was mayor of the city
in 1854" said Lewiston gentleman. "A
man had been abusing his wife on Pearl
street, and the mayor had personally in
structed me to go down and arrest the
man and to be sure and bring his bottle
along with the prisoner too. The mayor
came into the municipal court the next
morning and requested that the bottle be
brought in and tried with the man. The
man pleaded guilty to kicking over the
table and swearing at his wife, but stuck
to it that he had not been drinking. Tho
mayor took the bottle and placed it on tho
table in the courtroom, and the prisoner
fixed his eyes on it and admitted that he
had drunk out of it.
"When the man was sent up to the jail,
Mayor Dow took the bottle along himself
and requested the turnkey to place the
flask just outside the cell door where the
prisoner could see it, and it stood there
two months. He begged to have the bot
tie broken or removed Once, when the
door was opened, he made a dash with his
foot to break it, but did not succeed.
When that man was released, he perfectly
hated the sight of a whisky bottle, and to
my certain knowledge he never tasted a
drop of liquor afterward till his death, in
