So many people crowded to hear 1t that a thousand at least couldn’t get [a soat at any price at all, and stood up three hours.

The lan- terns were hung In their belts, and a new blue silk tassel dangled from each club, The forty glants blew on the ends of thelr clubs like herculean buglers in the firat chorus. When they simultaneously sgreed with the sergeant’s chservationa the effeot was cyclonic, It sent a grea current of alr sweeplng through the audi- torlum. Encores rang through the build- ing like explosions of musketry when the singing policemen tackled the ‘‘anhappy lot” chorus.

I had three mealsand no room,” sald a departing guest to the cashier in one of the hotels yesterday afternoon. Without looking at the books the cashier named th which was pald, and the traveler left. “*You have a good deal of confidence o that man’'s honesty,” was suggested to the cashier by a reporter waiting near by. “How are we going to help ourselves,” was the reply,’ss the cashler ehrugged his shouldere. If we take his word for It and roly om his honor ten chance to one he will be honest. “‘If we watch the gnests some of them will think 1t a fine trick to beat us just for the fan of the game. How did I know just how mml meals that last man took here! He lookea like an honest man for one thing. That goes along way. The beat betrays signs in spite of all he can do that the clerk makos a mental note of when he registers, and looks out for any game he may try. 1t is really ourious how & man shows in small things what he really {s. Signs that you or I would not notice he detects instaut- ly, and the man cannot beat the hotel out of acent.” ““The olerka quietly look over the guests during every meal, and can tell from long practice pretty olose, but of course soms elip through, It goes hard with them when they are caught you ocan believe. We have got tired of arresting them, and the ediot has gone forth that hereafter the biggest porter shall kick the beat from the dining-room into the street But we dont have many of them—not two this year.” “Isn’'t the meal-ticket arrangement better.” “‘That is very easy to get around, I have known «f one fellow making enough to psy his board loaning his ticket to meal or ho had come from the difing- room. His cronies pald him full price for the use of the ticket for the pleasure of getting ahead of the hotel. There 18 no good way to get around it elther, for after a man goes into the dining room with a ticket, that Is supposed to end, and a clerk would only get in trouble by asking people for tickets which they would produce, and that would end {t.

HE The Importance of & Small City, Herat, the present bone of contention between England and Russia, 1s compar- atively small for a place of such para. mount Importance, contalning barely 50,000 inhabitants, 1Itis situated In a slight depression on fhe sommit of a rocky ridge 2,650 feet high, forming one of the westernmost spurs of the great S8wfeld Koh (White mountains) range, which runs across Northern Afghanistan from west to east, It is surrounded by by a wall which, meaeured from the base of the earthen mound on which it stands, attains a hight of saventy-five feet, which {s considerably exceeded by several of the 150 towers that stropgthen it. But thess defenses, though seemingly formidable, are now, like most Afghan fortresses, fasts tumbling to decay from long neglect. The citadel, like that of Cairo, stands on a steep rack in the centre of the town. There are four bazaars, which lle just within the four principal gates. The place has a conslderable trade with Persla, Indis, Tarkestan, and Western China, the chief local products belng saff- ron, asafoetida, saddlery, caps, cloaks, shoes, carpets, sables, and drossed sheep- ekine, The name of the town Is sald to be derlved from the ‘‘Heri- Rud,”or river, which flows along the southern base of the rldge upon which Herat stands. e Angostura Bitters aro endorsed by al the leading physicians and chamista for their purity and wholecomeness, Beware of coun- terfeits and ask your grocer and xlmg}xlkt for the genuine atticle, prepared by Dr, J.

Most of it nowis of a very peity natare; s lady smuggles a silk dress or some laces, or something of that kind. There is more smugeling done now on the Canadlan line than apywhere clse. Of 100 offenses committed there, perhaps ninety can be traced to residents of that viclnity—on both sides of the llne—who smuggle for their own use. The remsining offenses, o(;mmlm‘lil:y those who make a bnnllnrn of smuggling, aggregate, very possip] more than all thng;:geu numb’lnp Fg; lnmrle. I recently vislted th 'm of & man living on the American elde, not far from Houlton, Me., and learned that within s month he had had two tons of butter in bis barn, all of which had been smvuggled. It had been shipped to mar- ket, and I oould find no trace of it. They llwnmnfl;lc a great many potstoes,” “‘Bat lsn't It possible to ralse potatoes and make butter as cheaply on this side a8 the other?” “Yes; but the polnt Is therels a much better market on this slde. On the other side, you see, there is only the home market. The duty on potatoes s 15 cents per bushel, and on butter 4 cents per peund, Then there are a great many sheepekine smuggled, There 18 a duty of about 10 cents per pound on the wool that they bear, the ‘slate’ or skins not be- ing dutlable. There are many other frauds, such a8 smuggling shirts, stock- iogs, blankets, brandy, gin, and ram ia barrels of potatoes “and catmeal. In trifling cases of that kind we simply con o the goods we find, The govera- ment s cheated out of a great deal, too, by undervaluation, espeolally of horses,” “What is the duty on those?’ “Twenty per cent. 1 once went into the little t)wn of Patten, Me,, having in formation io regard to only two horses, I found six er elght cases, remalned in town just two hours, and carrled away §995, I will tell you how it is done, You and I each want a pair of horses. We cross the line, and find & pair that sults me, f which the owner asks $500. I say: oan't pay 80 much as that; I will pay you €300 for them, and my friend will pay you the balance? So they are bliled to me for §300. Then we find a palr for €400 that suits you. You say you can only r‘ny 8260 for them, and that I will pay the balance. So they are billed to you for £250, We then present the billa to the custom house, and save, if we are not caught, 870. We settle any ciffar. once that there may be on thisside of the line,” ““What is the penalty If caught?” “The horaes are, legally, the property of the government, aud the smugglers are liable to prosooutlon, If, however, & man pays the full value of the hoxse, and the full daty, besldes what he has already paid, we let him have the horses and do not prosecute. For example, a man pays 8500 for a palr of horsos and enters them at $300. 1f we find him out, he has to pay us £600, the coet of horses and duty, and having already paid 2500 for the heraes and $60 for duty, the palr cost him, including commission for entering, ete., ia the vicinity of 81,180. “1t would seem hardly worth takicg the chances.” “True. I remember a case in Frank. lin, Me. Idrove up to a man's house one day juet as he was hitching up a palr of horses that had, I knew, been entered at less than what they cost bim. ‘A nice pair of horaes,’ I eald. ‘Yes, he replied, ‘they're good ones.” ‘You bought them in the provinces, didn’t you? ‘Yes, 1 did.’ ‘What did you pay for them? ‘I paid 8165 for them.’ I then told him that I had raason to belleve he paid more than that, and we went into the house and talked the matter over. I told him if he bought a surcingle or a blanket with his horses th.t he must enter the cost of it with the cost of the horaes.” ““It is a common practice to cheat the government in that way. Perhaps a man says to the owner of a $300 horse: ‘I will give you 8160 for your horse as $150 for the surcingle,’ and in that way gets the horse billed to him for $150, in the hope of belng able to cheat_the gov- ernment out of $30 duty, Waell, the man I spoke of finally acknowledged his guilt, and the horses cost him, all told, 8586, The cost him originally 250, and in an attempt to eave about §17 he lost “You stlll occaslonally detect attempts at smuggling by forelgn steamera?” “Ohlyes; I had an amusing case in East Boston some timeago. An English- woman, a steerage passenger, came in on asteamer, and I noticed that she had on an unusually large bustle. I spoke to our lady searcher about it, and she took the woman into the searching room and aeked her what she had under her dresa behind, ‘Why, that's my himaprover,’ she eaid very indignantly, but it didn’t work, The bustle was examined and found to contain tweaty yards of silk ! And here—referring to his seizure book —is & man caught smuggling cigars. He was attempting to run them in for one of the leading importers of Boston—we found out who it was—but the man wouldn’t gqueal, and was fined $50. I will tell you another interesting case, I noticed, one afternoon, & num- bor of very large puncheons of rum belng taken out of the custom house, and, upon examination aud inquiry, found that they had arrived about a week before from Yarmouth, N, 8., had been entered here In bond, and were belng exported to Tusket, N. S., about seven miles above Yarmouth. My suspiclons were aroueed, and I had the rum watched to eee if it went out of the country. It went out that night in a schooner, and I had a man on the watch at Tusket for a three weeke, but it never turned up there, The only redress the government had was to sue the bonds- men, This was done, and a verdict en- tered for $3,689. That was all it amount- ed to, for the princlpal bondeman took the poor debtor's oath, and the other wamn't worth anything.” , ““What became of tha rum?”’ ‘‘It was pumped out of the schooner into barrels on a smaller scdooner in St. Mary’s Bay, and there we lost all track of it, Whether it was smuggled back into the provinces or into some Amerlcan port, we never knew. We made quite a seizure a while ago on Cape Cod. An American schooner from the West Indies hove to off Orleans, and landed thirty- five bottles of bay oil, twelve cases of bay rum and ten cases of gin. The captain pald a fine of $1,100.” “Is much emuggling carrled on through the mail?”’ was asked an attache of the collector's office. . ““Yes, a good deal, Many articles of trifling value, addressed to persons of a foreign birth, are allowed to pass through free. As, for exomple, 8 einglo pair of gloves or a pair of stockings for a servant girl, The following articles are allowed to be imported through the mai's free of duty:—Magazines, periodicals, ete., in pamphlet form, news- papers and other similar atter, photo- graphs and mutic. We find, bowever, all sorts of things, clgaratte holders, praclous ‘stones, laces, jewelry, kid glover, pain'iogs, ete, 1 examine every merchandise packsgo that comesin in the foreign mails, and notify the owners of such as contain anything datiable, The home value of articles imported through the mails in 1883, and se'zed for duties, was $3,607, There was in all s'xty-nine seizures, and the datfes collected amount- ed to §060. These were illegal importa- tions. The forelgn value of the books detained was $1,988, on which the’dut; was $497, In 1884, home value of arti- ized, $2,400; dutles collected on 50; foreign value of books, §2,- ; duties on same, $601. There were fifty-two selvures of articles on which duty hurbo be paid. Books over twenty years old are allowed to come In free, and for that reason we are more suspicious of old books than new ones. Look at this one.” The appesrance of the book referred to would have tbrilled the heart of an anti- quarian with delight; but'sn examination showed that its very heart, so to speak, had been cut out, and a set of cheap jew- elry neatly inserted in the aperture, It also contained a small plece of paper, on which were these words: ‘‘Dear Willlam, if you get this afely, I will send the watch in the same w;y—haud nothing from the cattle dealer.” If *Dear Wil Ham” 1s wise, Ze will advise his smuog- gling friend not to ship the watch *‘in the same way,” *1 received an old Bible this morning,” contloued the officer, that was cat in the same way.
