' # j "What the Search for Smuggled Goods Sometimes Eaveals. Meeting a lady employed in the Custom-Houae, I asked her to give me an idea of her pay and duties, to which j she consented. She said: "It is gen- i eraliy supposed that the pay of a lady | in the Custom-House is so large as to I enable her to retire wealthy in the course of a few years, but the truth is, we receive about seventeen dollars a week, upon which we must maintain OUrRnlvA<i anrl PamlHaa TTnahanHa? <i Oh, no, there are no husbands allowed < us. No married woman could obtain j a situation injkhe Custom-House, and s/single woman would be dismissed if jme were to marry while in the Ber-X-'"' rice of the Government. We are < obliged to nay our own car-fare, al- J though whel we are required very 1 late-at night or in very bad weather a t carriage is frequently sent for us. We 1 are often on duty far away from home at meal times and on such occasions are compelled to patronize the restaurants, which makes quite an item in our expenses. "We are given a percentage upon < any contraband goods seized by us. What makes these Government posi- j tions so much in demand is the abso- t lute certainty of the pay and the almost equal certainty that the employment, once obtained, will be permanent. There are eight only of us lady inspectors in New Yo^k and , among us we divide the work of in- J specting every vessel arriving qn this j coast, so you may,;believe none of us 1 are idle. 1 "It would be dangerous for a worn- 1 an to go alone at 1 or 2 o'clock in the ( morning to some of the docks we have * to go to, therefore a man is always ? ? sent to take us to the vessel and ac- 1 company as home again if we do not 1 go back before daylight. The most 1 irksome part of the duty of a lady in ? spector is that she never has an hour ( that she may call her own. She nev- < er dare make an appointment to go j( out for over an hour or go to a mati- j 1 nee, or even to church for fear that a j < dispatch may arrive in her absence telling her to be at such and such a dock toj inspect a named vessel. In ! ^ thirty-five minutes after receving the i telegram she must be at the place j indicated. ' f. "We are rawed out to the vessels, i ? .i i .. . -- -!* auu hi wuiLur mo weatner is cold and often stormy, the exposure is trying to the health, and a disagreeable task even to the most robust. Nevertheless once a lady gets into a berth in the Custom-House?a most difficult thing to accomplish?she stays. There are no resignations and very rarely a death, ' so that it may be said that there are never any vacancies. * "A woman must be a born detective f r S to make a good inspector. She should know almost the iirst time she lays eyes upon a la^ly whether or not she * has any smuggled goods in her possession. Then, when it comes to searching a woman, it requires a great deal of tact and delicacy to carry your ^ point and yet give no just cause for complaint. And firmness! dear me! ] ooine 01 tnem oeg so hard not to be ' entirely denuded that it would melt a ^ heart of stone. "What are usually secreted in a ^ lady's dress? Oh, diamonds and other ^ precious stones. They conceal these everywhere in the hair and in the paddings of the dress, in the. seams of the j clothing and in the shoes. They have V,;' shoes made as if for large bunions, ( which they fill with precious stones. ^ The Italians are natural born smug- j >il glers, and smuggle coral chiefly. First A and second-cabin passengers smuggle ^ by proxy, now more generally than in > [/ : person. { "Steerage passengers are not re- j quired to declare their goods, so that f many people who want to smuggle c light but valuable goods,.like lace and ( diamonds pay the passage over of a t steerage passenger, on condition of his g or her getting through certain contra- ^ band articles. It is rather risky, be- [ ? cause the trusted person may walk off with the goods, and the owner cannot recover them, or if he does, it is only iv to have them nabbed by the Custom- ] House officers, but there is less risk of i jc1. detection in the steerage than in the t cabin. i "I remember an amusing incident: s & \ gentleman returning from Europe I j&? brought back half a dozen valuable \ || - j gold watches as presents to his family, i p,V How to escape paying duty on them t tormented his i^ind until he was near- v jfc ing his native land. Having become z well acquainted during the voyage <3 with six gentlemen who had no watch- s 4 ja, he askied ea^n one to wear a watch i antll he g<^t ashore. They all consent- 1 sd. Four of them brought the watch- j v' is aahore^challenged by the officers li ^vn Vf-b-AV'! j-.v; i-?' v:<;>'i r: V1 Vv'.u .'* >4>v -Alvv t\ . ; md returned them, but the other tw< vamoosed with the watches, leaving the gentleman to make the best of bii oss. "Had he made any row or arrestee he thieves he would have betrayed that he himself was trying to defrauc :he Government. "Among the other accomplishments )f a lady inspector must be a knowledge of languages, unless she wishes t< je put to great inconvenience and considerable expense in feeing interprets. Immigrants arrive here fron jvery place under the sun. A lady learcher has got to converse with ;hem all. Among the steerage passengers a knowledge of the various nnf/via nf o lanmiano la an nanmiorv at )f the pure tongue itself."?Celia Logan in the New York World. \ Natural Gas. Speaking of natural gas and th< chances of its being conveyed fron Pittsburgh to New York for use in th? atter city, the New York Times hai :his to say: "It is customary to speak ind think of this use of natural gas as jomething strange and modern. Ther< sould scarcely be a greater error. Th< 'eternal fires of Baku," in liussia, havi jurned continuously from remote ages [n the salt mines of China natural gat is conveyed considerable distances in ;amboo pipes and burned for liaht and ieat. To come nearer home, one ol j hese gas wells was tapped at Easl i Liverpool, Ohio, in 1859, and has giv- J m no signs of failing to this day. II s hard to be exact about the numer >us gas torches which have longblazec ?ud roared throughout the Pennsylvania oil regions, but it is certain thai nany of them have burned day anC light for years, wasting quantities ol ight and power." Meanwhile natural gas is being rapidly substituted foi ;oal in Pittsburgh. At present more ,han fifteen hundred dwellings, sixtylix glass factories, thirty-four rolling nills and forty-iive other industrial esablishments are being sullied, and is nearly as can be ascertained from sight thousand to ten thousand tons >f coal are daily displaced.

The Widow's Wit, A dashing Washington widow who lad received marked attention from a ,rery popular and gallant physician, says the Boston Herald, found herself suddenly deserted. Her Esculapius, iged 52, was completely enthralled by i beauty of 18, and on Christmas norning the wedding took place with ill due pomp. , Wormwood for the svidow! She swallowed it bravely, wore an undaunted front, and was iraong the first to offer hurried congratulations to the happy pair. The jonversation turned upon Christmas rifts, and the bride said, laughing jayly: "All my wedding present were lent just before Christmas, so on Christmas morning I had not a single | jift" "Ah, my dear! that was cruel ! | fou had me!" said the bridegroom, eproachfully. Before the pretty bride :ould answer, the widow's eyes grew langerous, and swinging slowly her arge fan she murmured: "Surely, ny dear Mrs. X , you should be liore than satisfied, for you know an.iquities are all the rage!" In the awful silence following the widow rose, larefully arranged her draperies, and lowed her adieu in stately serenity. Dr. X and his bride never returned her call.

Vmong these injuries was the fractuiv of his kull Under tho old system of surgory this vould have l>een oquul to n death sentence; )U'j by nn intricu-. o\>o at ion, involving the emoval of part of th .bone, Mr. Kelley's lite rus saved, and he is now, at the age of about birty-six, a comparatively hearty man. Cntil recently, however, Mr. Ketley was Utreriu,:, from frequ? t spasms, owing to a ondition of brain a.~d body which naturally ollowed his extraordinary experience. These .pasms woutd attack him suddenly, soinelrros at home an I sometimes on tho street, emler.r.g him utterly heJpless. Of course bis greatly hindered him Irom attending to :is business, which is that of a wood turner. One of our writers having heard that Mr. velley had been restored to health, with entire recovery from these spasms, called to sae lim a few days ago at his home, No. 46 Storrs it., Cincinnati. Mr. Kelley was ort of town, >ut his mother kindly gave an account of the uatter. Having toid tho facts recounted ibove. she continued: "My son's recovery from his spasms is wing to a medicine which he took. We had eon this advertised in the papers, and bought, from what was said of the good it jad done, tnat it mightdo something for him. ?or about five years he had beon having ^asms often and badly. He had very severe ndige.don, too, which we think had more or ess to do with the spntms. It rn about a rear and a half ago that he began taking this ne liciue, which is Brown's Iron Bitters. Tho irst bo .tie of^it began to do him good, and by ne tinm no vr&s on the second txjttle be was v goocKleal braced up by it. He took seven jottles, and since that he has had no spasms t all excep-once, when a spasm was brought >n b eating sotno hard boiled eggs?. I should ;hinit they were en -ugh to give anybody an attack of indirostion, wouldn't you ? I contider my 'on's health now pretty well reestablished. He is 'ot taking the bitters any oro t" r thoro would be no uso in it. If bo ?.ro to be sick again Brown's Iron Bitters is ha medicino ho would take, for it brought ii?? rigbt up before." "P.y the way, I am beginning to take brown's Iron Bitters myself. After what it liu for my son ami for some of my neighbors ?o whom we recommended it, I think it is ;h?- uhing for tr.e. I have been run down omuwh"t and feeling languid 1 am already* >eginning to feel the good effects of the medcine, and we all think it wonderful." It is a pleasant fa. t as regards Brown's Iron Fitters that when it is once introduced nto a neighborhc d it goes around aud its :sa become^ general. I'liero are hundreds md hun-? -eus of neighborhoods in which this *emarka >lo medicine has thus done efficient work among --he members of a great many famines. It does not pretend to cure every tisease on the f/ice of the earth, but there tre a great man ailments which fleo before tn power as the snakes are said to have fle.1 !rom ret and under the potent command of Saint Pat-v.ii. One neighbor is troubled with indigestion, another with Mlfousness, irJ another with disordered I. uueys. All ih-^e flni> sure and lasting relief in the use of town's Iron Bitters. Then some of the adies have complaints which belong pe:uliarly to their own sex; and it is surprising M see how promptly and pleasantly Brown s Iron Bitters act on these. And so one neighK>r tel.s another and another, and the good word goes round, and the news is spread. Is it any wonder that "Brown's Iron Bit?<er& <s the great household word of to day ! The public havo learned its true value. Do the druggists keep Brown's Iron Bitters! i Go cjid ask them. Ask the first respectib: ? d-uggist whose store you pass, and then imjjj iu rk oYorj urug grore --wnene er you take your walks abroad" (or a day or a week, >r as lcc.g as you please, you will find that -hese oruggfotb not only keep it regularly on tale but tnat they sell it very largely, and ihat their sales a. e constantly on'the Increase.
