The first thing that is pointed out to us
in ships "fender" which we remind our
readers, is block of wood with rope
attacked, slung over the bows, to prevent
the abrasion which might be caused by
contact with another vessel. This par
ticular fender was found to be hollow, and
tocontain several pounds of compressed
tobacco. The officer who thought of
looking for this soothing weed in such a
receptacle must have been an extremely
"cuto" individual. But here is a still more
extraordinary hiding place, and one
which must have involved a journey alolt
for its detection-a ships block, the sheafe
or wheel Of which is actually made Of
solid tobacco. Here is an ornamental
pedestal which once adorned the corner of
captains cabin, and would perhaps
adorn it still, had it not been found gorg-
ed with contraband cigars. Another
commander appears 10 have been more
moderate smoker, for he was content with
only two pounds of cheroots, which were
found inside a sham .loaf on his table
Here we have a string Of cigars knot;ed
singly in a string, like the tail of a kite /;
these were dropped between the inner and
outer timbers Of ships side; ; whilst
holes drilled in the ends of an egg box
furnish lodgings for several more.

known as "pig tall" Cakes OF tobacco

another ingenious mode of disposal
But the prize of inventive talent must
certainly be awarded the clever rascal
who compressed snuff INTO slabs, and
stamped them to exactly initiate oil cakes
or which cattle arc futtened.


The stewardess Of Jersey steamer is a
delinquent who comes before our notice.
On various occasions tho petticoat has
been found to be a useful auxiliary to the
smuggier, ana the one winch was taken
from this lady sufficiently proves the
truth Of our remork, for twenty seven
pounds of tobacco were hidden in its folds.
Two more garments Of the same nature
contained, respectively eighteen and
twenty pounds Of cigars whilst another
with the help fanumber Of fish bladders
hanging from her woistband, was charged
with several gallons of brandy. Bladder.
of cognac have also been found attached
to ships keel, several feet under water.
1t is to be presumed hat the discovery Of
those last was not made in the Thames,
the water of that river not being celebra-
ted for its transparency. Artificial lobster

THE following trne and characteristic
story is told OF the late Field Marshal
Won Warngel. During the revolution in
Berlin, in 1913, he went out and fought
against the revolutionists. They threaten
ed him that ifhe did not put up his sword
and be quiet by four O'Clock they would
put an end to the life Of his'wife. Though
deeply attached to her he, nothing daunted
fought on, and at four o'clock he pulled
out his watch and exclaimed: IL won
der if they are hanging her now?" They
were not.

TIE Louisville Courier journal,
which is Published in State where
whisky ought to be good If anywhere,
confirms the statement that probably
nine hundred and ninety-nine gallons
out Of every thousand that are sold as
brandy are made from a vile compound
OF whisky swill, distilled spirits and
chemical abominati0ns, and adds: "And
rs 1t is also equally true Of whialy, what
in the name OF goodness are wo all to do
for something to drink ? 1t looks as if
we are to be driven to the pumpin spite
of us. If the world Mt large knew of
what vilIainous stuils brandy and whisky
and wines are made, the present crop
Of Grunllsrds would be about the last


or atany rate all future crops would be
small. Nearly or quite all the liquors
that arc retailed now-a- days are un-
doubtedly a slow but sure poison, and
to drink them habitually is simply y
roundabout way of committing suicide,
and unless you guard yourself carefully,
the way is not so very roundabout either"

PETER PISDAR boasted that he was the
only man that ever outwitted publisher.
Being popular writer, his works brought
him good income. His publisher wish
ing to purchase the copyright ard print a
collected edition, made him an offer in
cash. In order, however, to drive good
bargain, Pindar feigned to be in very bad
health, declaring that he could not live
long and every time the publisher came
10 see him he acted the invalid to such
rcrf ction that he got handsome annuity,
which, TO the disgust Of the publisher, he
lived to enjoy until the age Of eighty one.

WE DON'T remember TO have accused
the Herald of attacking the Judiciary of
the State" We did say a word in de-
Tense of the judiciary, to be sure, and we
thought it due to justice and humanity,
that no reflection should rest upon them
for the hanging of the convicted negroes
during the pest forty years. Nor did we
if we remember rightly charge the Herald
with attacking the Governor" We
simply defended the action of the Gov
ernor. And now we return our thanks to
the many friends who have personally

1t is at this point the States
right doctrine comes in-and it is little
like the Louisiana Returning Board. We
presume old aiiunde Bradley would de-
eide this case in the same way that he
elected Hayes. The Boston Aldermen
had little less right even In this view to
alter the vote than the Louisiana State
Returning Board had. But we presume
those who sustained the latter would feel
bound to sustain the former. We leave
the further explanation of the case to be
gathered from the extracts from the
speeches of Generals Banks and Butler
in another column, both Republicans
and both from Massachusetts,.

WAR BETWEEN England and Russia
seems now more probable than ever
But England seems to have as usual,
managed to beatRussia in her diplomacy.
She is not alone by long shot, and the
Northern Bear will find this out to his
cost; although he may not be driven from
all the territory acquired IN the war
But if British gold secures the neutrality
of the Turk or his active cooperation
with England, Russia will doubtless be
compelled to give up Constantinople and
the Dardanelles.

WE HAVE NO ACQUAINTANCE with the
editor of the Cecil Wing, and are there
fore somewhat surprised that he should
make discouteous reference to us and
our religious views. 1t was certainly no
crime in US to express pity for poor
woman who had been outraged in re-

beastly, notoriously wicked negroes.


SHrely we had no idea the beastly me-
groes would find so ready an apologist in
Cecil county. Cecil must be degraded
indeed when the only Republican organ
it supports finds it necessary to assail us
and sympathize with the few fanatical
friends of the guilty negro ravishers of
a poor white woman to secure negro
votes.


We will remind the Wing that Cecil
county has been exempt from crimes of
this kind by negroes and that they have
been so frequent as to be startling to us
in New Castle county. Here and in
Chester county, where number of re-
spectacle people have petted the negro,
hundreds of vicious blacks have taken
refuge, and we can account for their
numerous horrid murders, rapes and
crimes in no other way. The bloody
