Women l'ind It IHfttcult to Ilrsliit the Desire to Jlriug In Presents Frna of Duty I'nople Who An In Other Ke-- poets Honest, Cheat the Ciivuriiiiicul. Women are especially susceptible to the enticements of wnnjjfrling. It lias been said that ro woman can resist the temptation to make an effort to carry goods subject to duty past a custom house officer, an 1 it is a (statement mado by certain otticials in the customs servico j that if every passenger on board iricoin-tup- ; ocean cteumers were thoroughly and completely benrched as ho miht be.it in probable that not one, out of fifty would bo found to have- resisted the of just a tritlinir bit of kiuus-glit- i; to add romance to llio hoi no cum-in- ( )f teutimi'B such carrying in of dutiable goods i merely inadvertence, lack of knowledge or oversight, Presents bought for thu "dear ones at home" bavo been overlooked when an wan luadi of tlm dntiablo j;iM)ds and were only recalled to memory when found by the customs obieer. Many a name hih in society and well known in religious, financial or professional circles has been upon tho books of the special treasury aont'a office, but it is a fact worthy of note, and which reflects much credit upon the department, that pnch matters aro kept as secret afl any portion of tho work. i "There is no necessity," said a man Mho had made mmisglintf tho study of Lis life, and who is employed by tho custom house, "for dnt'iiif; these lentil and governmental (skeletoiis into thu light of day. Oftentimes it is a ead fact that they have occurred, and for our own Hatfcfaction (for we are, withal, at time, men of homo sensibilities) we prefer to let them drop and remain Then, attain, there may bo certain arguments used of a more or less persuasive valno which would naturally induce the inspector to give as little pub-licity as ponMble to the details of thecase. A CU1UOK1TY 1H HOOKS. I "I do not mean by this to imply that tho practice of bribery is in vogue to any extent. This fact may not bo due to original lack of sin, but it is true, never-theless, although honesty is enforced to A certain degree by the remembrance of the previous good record of the special treasury agent's department. H Perhaps the most novel and popular form of amnsement for tho smuggler nowadays is to use Uncle Sam's post Uigs for his exciting trtule, A number of lxxiks liavo lately been entered at the jioKbiGioe, sent from foreign countries, which were not altogether intended for reading purposes. .Several months ago there was received at the New York - office a handsomely Isinnd volume of Italian poetry. Tho book was printed on a high grade of paper and bore tho date i'Tadua, 17U3." Its title was "Le Trege-di- o l)i Giovanni Del lino." It was prob-ably supposed that the tostollteo author-ities would "pass" the biKk on hxking at its title on il-- s examination. Unfort-unately iu this, as in all cases where books are in the mail, the volume was opened and carefully examined, i A section of the ccuter of 200 leaves was cut out, through tho book, and iu the cavity thus formed was placed a green table spread, with cotton embroi-dery, upon which an extreme valuation if three dollars could barely be phicod. Iinyers of antique books who have ex-amined the volume, which is now in tho customs seizure room, say that had it fcot been mutilated it would have readily j beeu worth $1U0. It was addressed to Judge William Allen, of Southampton,! ass., but Judge Allen has never read it. J OTHER VOI.UM1IS. I Lately this volume has been followed 1y a volume of the "Keport of tho Brit-ish National Fisheries Exposition," which was not all a report, for quite a icollection of jewelry was pl.ioed iu a :netly scooped out orifice in the center of ita leave. Extremes met when a 'Latin dictionary was put in use as a carton for transporting a pipe, and tho "Odd Fellows' (Quarterly Magazine" did duty as a packing ease for two razors. A novel called "The Great Tontine" Jield two diminutive and very prettily idecorated Chinese vases, but the height of incongruities was reached when tho '"Sermons of Bishop Ilrookfiold, of Lon-;iou- ," drifted into the New York post-'oEti-artfully (surrounding several sets of false teeth. i It is not generally known that no books can be shipped through the mails from foreign coun-,tric- j. Cigars, cutlery and chiuaware, Ijewelry and fabrics colion and silk-Ar-often started on their long journey, :Vith notations accoiupanying thcin stal-ling tb;tt they are eamplu-- or gifts, but these casual remarks never save the tgoods. They liud their way to the Uuited StaU-- custom liouse se izure room, and therj remain until the yearly auc-tion. j Steerago passengers of tho kind who 'seek the services of philanl hropical peo-;j)l- e on Ltnding are no freer from tho taint of Muuggling than their more aris-tocnit-bn- thrt- aKipo deck. Otio of the cutir.us inspectors saw an Italhin of mean dress and poor uppcariuice who wore on Uie little linger of his left hand a diamond liug which glittered in the 'rays of the sun shilling over .Miss Lib-erty's left as tho vessel was coming up the bay. He thought the unusual and investigated. Two thousand dollars' worth of jewelry was takeu from the immigrant's person. Ho had fallen a victim to his own vanity. He was unable to resist the delight of making a display before his fellow pas-sengers. 2i'ew York World. GEMS IN VERSE. What I.oye Is.

The Peer Among Feora and Seo-e- nd to None in this City In-vitations Hare Eeen Issued by Mr. Edward Kelley for the Grand Oponing of Eia New Sample Boom, at 223 State St. The object of this demon-stration on the part of Mr. Kelley is to familiarize his new location and introduce to his numerous patrons and the public in general, the many new brands of fine imported goods that have recently been received at his new place of business. This establishment has just been refitted with elegant and costly fixtures and handsomely decorated in ac-cord with the balance of the tasty surroundings. Mr. Chas. Reilley, the pop-ular and well-know- n dispenser of the bright and sparkling1 liquids, has been appointed manager of the new sample room, and will be pleased at any and at all times to wel-come his host of friends and acquaintances. Notwithstanding this new fccquisition, Mr. Kelley still retains the proprietorship of the Elks Sample Room, op-posite the Theater, the ony place in the city having a thoroughly equipped gymna-iu- m in connection therewith; and one that is strictly first-cla- ss in all respects. The world-renowne- d and popular pugilist, Mr. Herbert Slade, has assumed the man-agement and directorship of the Elks Gymnasium and may be found at his post of duty at almost any time. The well-stocke- d sideboard will also be urder this gentleman's personal supervision, aided by several thorough and compe-tent dispensers. The well stocked sideboard will bs presided over by Mr. Herbert Slade, the Moari, who for some time was one of the principals of the celebra-ted John L. Sullivan Sparring Combination. Mr. Slade is probably the best known pug-ilist and enjoys a more exten-sive acquaintance among the fraternity than any other man in the West. Col. Edw. Kelley is too well and favorably known to need an introduction through the medium of these columns and as a pleasant, genial, gentleman, he is considered by his host of friends and admir-ers as having but few equals.
