Inspectors who Yield to Woman's Wiles
=A Chase after a Coflin,
“There is no end to the means smug
glers employ in their business,
the oldest custom house inspectors
said. “1 have known them to bring
diamonds from Holland nicely pe acke

laces and diamoids from

Laces and
diamonds have also been brought into
this country tightly packed in the cen-
ter of iron tulang.

“laces and diamonds. There
nothing that occupies less space than
they do. They ean easily be concealed
in false shoe and and in
wigs. Notice of the sailing of smug
glers from the other side often re
ceived here. In such cases they seldom
evade having their stufl confiscated on
arriving here. The professional, as a
rule, has a confederate, who is ready to
jump aboard at the first opportunity
The two meet, go to the stateroom, and
while they are to all appearances eflu
sively showing their gladness at meet
ing each other again, one is passing
laces or diamonds to the cther. It is
as often done while surrounded by a
crowd.”
“ Who are the best smugglers
“ Women as a general thing. Why?
Because the manner in which they clothe
themselves enables them to conceal
many things from the most Argus-eved

plunging his knife in its body as it
passed. The force of Hall's blow and
the animal's spring was so great that
both were precipitated over the glassy
debris and into the lake. Both struck
the water at the same time, and then a
terrific combat began. The water was
| up to Hall's armpits, and the beast had
{ to fight swimming. It made a plunge
at its antagonist and succeeded in eateh-
ing him by the left arm. Hall used his
knife as rapidly as possible, but failing
to loosen the animal's hold upon his
arm, dived to the bottom of the lake,
{ and both went down together. The
| cougar then let go, and coming to the
| top of ‘h: water saw the mail-sack
which had come off Hall's back in the
struggle. Doubtless imagining the
sack was its prey, the animal seized it
in its mouth and struck for the shore.
As soon as he saw what was going on
Hall started after the congar, which he
| caught by the tail just as it was about
| to land, and pulling it back into the
water plunged his knife into its heart
{ Harry Yount, the gamekeeper, better
{ known as Rocky Mountain Harry, who
| went over to see the cougar that Hall
killed, says that he has hunted in the
mountains for over twenty years and
| says this is the largest animal of the
{ kind he ever saw. Mr. Hall's arm was
| badly chewed up between the wrist and
| elbow, but his injuries, though severe,
were not serions, and he Las recovered
sufficiently to be again on duty, He
says, however, he doesn’t want any
more cougar in his.— Madison (Montana)

The killing of the prime min-
jster gave rise to apprehension that a
wide-spread conspiracy was afloat, and
the mails were all stopped that night,
pending the preparation of dis patches 4
to the andhorities throughout the coun
try. Sir Robert Peel, also, would have
fallen but for his secretary (a near rela-
tive of the present secretary of the
British legation at W ashington) having
been murdered by mistake for him.
After a miscreant struck at Queen Vie-
toria, some twenty years ago, an act was
passed rendering any kind of assault on
the sovereign punishable by severe
whippings. Since then only one such
offence has been commiited, and that
by a youth whose clearly proved weak
ntellect raved him from stripes. Oxford,
who shot at the queen early in her
got off on a plea of insanity,
though the genuineness of the plea was
very much, and with good reasons,
questioned. He was, consequently,
relegated to Bedlam, and, greatly to
his diegast, kept there for life. This
probably exercised a deterrent effect
on many others of that miserable order
f beings who will do anything for noto-
riety.

the Nihilists are Organized,
for the Nihilists,
stigation, all that is known-—and
this is the only reassuring thing--is
that they have no accomplices in the
army or the real nobility nor among
the peasantry. They are almost 0x-
clusively recruited among the declasses,
es] cially the young men, whose un-
satisfied aml imulatesa fanaticism
carried to an incredible pitch. Thus at
me previ executions the culprits
seandalized peasants by their ir-
religion. The watchword was given,
and at the last executions the culprits
showed respect for in their
iast moments. This was obedience in
the highest degree.
It will be diflicult to overcome Nihil-
ism, because it is organized in small
groups connected only by one member
with each other, that even those
enrolled do not know members of other
branches Thus on the day of the as
sassination there ean be no doubt that
the famous mine which was discovered
was unconnected with the group that
performed the assassination, and that
its purpose was not to blow up the em-
peror, but stop his carriage and
afford others time to assassinate him,
after the fashion of the hayeart which
stopped General Prim's carriage at
Madrid. For instance, it is known that
every Nihilist is now obliged not to
absent himself from his dwelling more
than twelve hours at a time. When
that interval is exceeded his accomplices
go up to his lodgings and burn every.
thing that might compromise him.
Thus recently a captured Nihilist re
fused to give his name and address,
Then, after a certain time, he consulted
his watch and gave his name and ad-
dress. The police hurried to his lodg-

pleasure and propriety of having the
family all seated at once at the break-

breakfast hour would be a boon. If one
or two people in the house, by reason of
engagements, must sally forth very
early, it is often better to let them have
their morning meal by themselves, while
others rise and breakfast later. Manya

issue mentions the following:
Patrick Kenny, Esq, some time ago,
suffered much from rheumatism and
tried almost every means to rid himself
of this painful evil, but in vain. He
was advised to use Bt, Jacobs Oil
which he did successfully that all
pain has left him, and he is as healthy
and strong as ever before. Mr, Kenny
is an enthusiastic advooate of Bt Jacobs
Oil, and it bas done him good.
