ARIB.VLD1, during
his exilo on tho isl

often used to say
that there would
have been no great
dilHculty In pro
tracting his guer
rilla campaigns for
years If ho had
chosen to recruit his
troops among tho
smugglers of tho
Calabrinn highland.
It might, indeed,
bo doubted if In
practical warfare the
strategic erudition of our best military
academios would be a match against the
tricks of border outla ws, wboso skill la
outwitting tho vigilance of their adver
saries has often been perfected by tho
constant practlco of many years.
Tho plan of employing the soldiers of
the regular army in the service of the
Uuvenuo department was repeatedly
tried by tho French Qovcrnmcnt in tho
smuggler districts of the Pyrenees, but
had at last to bo abandoned as a sheer
waste of time and trouble.
In tho more dangerous localities a lino
of picket posts his often been extendod
for miles on both sides of the headquur
ter cauip, the Interval between tho sen
tries being so close that they could com
municate without an extraordinary vocal
effort, and In order to test their vigil
ance it hid been mado a rule that tho
hours and half hours of the night must
be called out by tho corporal of each do
taohment, and repeated from post to
post all along tho line.
About 2:45 a. M., in a specially dark
night, the sentries near Bt. Biiuvenr, in
tho Department of Haute Pyrenees,
shouted out "lhren o clock" with a (lis
tinetness thut awakcucd hundreds of re
sponses anil brought out half a dozen
non-commissioned officers nt a double

timely vociferations. Angry discussions
followed, and a few minutes Inter a gang
of shadowy forms pasted tho line within
a few steps of a poor recruit who had
been icpriinanded out of his wits aud
would not have ventured to run tho risk
of another false alarm if the whole force
of Don Carlos had passed by with all
their field guns and ammunition wagons.
The smugglers themselves had set the
sentries a-shoutiug, for the doublo
purpose of piofiting by the eusuing con
fusion aud of ascertaining tho exact
position of each picket post.
On another occas!on a troop ot
mounted strangers challenged a sentry
in good French and warned him to give
the countersign moro promptly in futuro,
and, after ordering him to repeat his In
structions, trotted oil, leaving the be-

that his cross-examiner must havo been

some neighboring military post.
Tho French Government dorlvcs a
large sharo of ill Internal revsnuo from
the duty on tobacco, and it has been
estimated that an average of 2,500,000
pounds a year aro smuggled across the

or other. Tobacco, cut up in narrow

A still more ingenious stratagem was
tried in the Ardennes between Philippe
ville and ltocroy. Finding thut many
of their matadors were personally known
to the French gendarmes, a band of
Belgian smugglers conceived the idea'of
training dogs for tbo purpose of crossing
the line in moonlight, or even in day
time, during the prevalence of a moun
tain fog. With a little practice atout

a lead of twenty pounds, distributed

and fastened in tho way that In stresi of
circumstance the four-footed messenger
could dash through the tangled under
brush without losing his cargo, Dogs
selected for that sort of work had ac
companied their masters on many prev
ious expeditions and came to unucrsiana
the danger of tho road so well that
they would now and then rotraco their
steps and hide in the thickets till the
evening twilight enabled them to resume
their journey with a better chance ot
safety. Frontier guards who had acci
dentally romo across these four-legged
contrabandists reported that thoy would
avoid the public roads as much as possi
ble, and at sight of a stranger would stop
to reconnoitcr, and nt the first suspicious
symptom would turn aside and disappear
like wolves in the gloom of tho rarest.
ISrussels lices were smuggled In on a
similar plan. A few leii'i sheep were
wrapped round and round with rolls of
valuiihlo dry goods and then covered
with an artificial flccco so cunningly ad
justed thut the trick could not bo eosily

in spasms, are really victims of rabies,
but of Imagination. De this as it may.
the death of a person who imagines alt
ho sees and who is evidently sullering nil

torriblo one. Of all the Alleged cures
for hydrophobia tho mndstoue, so called,
is tho most noted.
There is certainly a remnrkablo mad-

him given to a ncgrcss, who, as said.

father, then a lad, for a jacknife.
While thisttonoremainod in Kentucky
it was used in curing innumerable cases
of snake and dog bite. Since it has bcoa

at Denver, fully 100 men, women and

a matter ot record that in ono instance
only did tho stone fail to prevent tho oc

case in question was that of a farmer liv
