8 A Sharp SmiiKKlTKow ho Tooled n Cus torn House Officer. There U very important trafllo carried on in diamondover the' Various European lines to tbis eon u try, aud as the duty,' upon them la ten per cent, ad valorem the sharp est watch Is kept upon those suspected to be engaged in it. By moans of ' agents abroad the Collector's ofllce has often infor mation by cable of Uie departure from the various ports of suspected diamond 'smug glers, and is prepared to intercept them. In nine cases out of ten the stones are conceal ed upon the persons of the passengeis. When this becomes a certainty, or what is supposed to be a certainty, the passenger is arrested and taken to tho searcher's bureau in the Custom House. Here if found necessary, tho party is stripped to the skin and his clothes examined inch by inch and scam by seam ; the heels are taken from his boots his hair and beard are comb ed, and every means taken to discover tbo hiding placo of the secreted treasures. Once this mode of soarch used to be tolera bly successful, but now it rarely serves any purpose except in the case of raw recruits to the smuggling ranks. An old bird 1b caught with chaff but onoo. A New York Jew, who was reputed to be in the business of smuggling diamonds, used to cross tho water on the Canard line from three to four times a season. Two years ago, in the early part of the season, he was seized upon his arrival and taken to the searcher's room. Nearly a thousand dollars' worth of precious stones were found secreted In the lining of his boots, lie returned to Liverpool by tho same steam er, and four weeks aft6rward again landed upon tho company's wharf on North River. Ilo was again seized and subjected to the same rigorous search, but with no success. The Jew took it smilingly and philosophic ally. When he took his leave ho said : "Better luck next time, gouUonion. 1 shall go hack by the same steamer on busi ness, and when I retain you can try it again." The officers mentally determined if he did they wonld try it again. Upon inquiry it was found that he really had engaged a re turn passage, having held his stateroom for tiiat purpose. Two hours before the sail iag of the steamer he was driveu down to the pier in his carriage, his wife and daugh ter witk him to see him ' oil". When' they returned they carried with them over ten . thousand dollars' worth of diamonds which had 1aia secreted in his stateroom daring the whole time the steamer had remained hi port. Before his return to New York the Collector was notified by one of the revenue agonts abroad that "Max Fischer would return by the which would leave Liverpool, August 25, with several thousand dollars' of diamonds." In due time the Jew arrived, and for the third time was escorted before the searcher. Ilo was evidently net prepared for such persistent attention. He seemed nervous and agita ted, and finally attempted to compromise, He was politely informed that that was out of the question. He was again put through the searching process. His pocltetbook, wuieu was Urst investigated, revealed a memorandum showing the purchaseof eigh teen diamonds of various sizes and prices, amounting in all to about $13,000. When thin eatne to sight the Jow begged with tears to be allowed to compromise. A deaf oar was turned to his entreaties. His coat was removed and tho lining examined Nothing there. Then the waistcoat. As the searcher passed his practiced Angers along tle lining his heart gave a tremen dous thiunp as he recognized the " feet" of something pebbly, like little rows of but tons, l be garment was nastily rippod, a strip of ckauata skin withdrawn aud anroll ed, and tlraelay, one, two, three eighteen! All there. , "You can put on four coat and waistcoat again, Mr. Fischer," said the searcher, blandly. "Good day." Without a word the Jew departed, took a horse car boaie, kissed his family, ato a rousing dinner, repaired to the bath room, and after soaking a rather capacious plaster across the small of his back for a few min utes in warm water, peeled it off, and with it "eighteen diamonds, of various costs and prices." What the searcher and collector may have said or thought when they found their seizure to be nothing but clever glass imitations worth from teu to thirty cents each, nobody knows ; for although the seiz ure was loudly heralded, the finale was nev er made public A lady in Boston, mov ing in fashionable circles, wears a valuable diamond which was imported in the cavity of a double tooth, said tooth being in tho mouth of an Israelitish gentlemen of New York. It was placed in its rather nnro mantifl biding place in London, and safely covered with hone Oiling, which was displac ed after toe arrival in JNew York. tH" A woman with a baby under one arm and a dog under tho other entered a crowd ed car near Concord, N. II., the other day, made for a seat wlkere an old man was sit ting alone, and was proceeding to stow her self, child and dog iuto the vacant scat, when the man, who has a great aversion to dogs, blaudly remarked to the lady : "Mad am, I have no objection to one baby iu this sect, but I have most decided objections to twins." The woman found another seat. tlT Oil has been discovered in Madison township, Clarion county, and the people ire greatly f xuited. JVeitf Advertisements. TTBT?'!?1 SAMPLE to A Rent.
