BRITISH SMUGGLERS.

Caves Along the Coast Wherein Their
Contraband Goods Were Stored.
A very curious feature of the coasts
of England, where rocky or wild, is the
trenched and banked up paths from the
caves along the coast. These are notice
able in Devon and Cornwall and along
the Bristol channel. That terrible sea
front consists of precipitous walls Of
rock, with only here and there dip,
wherea brawling stream has sawed it's
course down to the sea, and here there
is, perhaps, sandy shore Of diminu-
tive proportions, and the rocks around
are pierced in all directions with cav
ems. The smugglers formerly ran their
goods into these caves, when the wealth
er permitted, or the preventive men were
not on the lookout. They slowed away
their goods in the caves and gave notice
to the farmers and gentry of the neigh
borhood, all of whom were provided
with numerous donkeys, which were
henceforth sent down to the caches, and
the kegs and bales were removed under
cover of the night or of storm. AS an
excuse for keeping droves of donkeys
it was pretended that the sea sand and
the kelp served as admirable dressing
for the land, and no doubt SO they did.
The trains of asses sometimes came up
laden with sacks of sand, but not infre-
quently with kegs of brandy.
Now wary preventive man might
watch too narrowly the proceedings of
these trains of asses. Accordingly
squires yeomen and farmers alike set
to work to cut deep ways in the face of
the downs along the slopes Of the hills,
and bank them up so that the whole
caravans Of laden beasts might travel
up and down absolutely unseen from
the sea and greatly screened from the
land side. Undoubtedly the sunken
ways and high banks are great protec-
tion against the weather. So they were
represented to be, and no doubt greatly
We're the good folks commended for
their consideration for the beasts and
their drivers in thus at great cost shut
ting them off from the violence of the
gale. Nevertheless it can hardly be
doubted that ooncealment from the eyes
of the coast guard was sought by this
means quite as much, if not more, than
the sheltering the beasts Of burden from
the weather. South African Review.

shapely feet.

eowardly to attack an enemy after
nightfall, but on one occasion they de-
waited from their usual rule. On they
crept, noiselessly and unobserved, in
their bare feet, upon the unsuspecting
Scotchmen. When near the camp, one
of the Danes trod upon thistle and in
his pain cried out. This aroused the
sleeping Scotchmen, and they gave the
alarm. The Danes were defeated with
