The New York corre;poadeot of
the Boston Journal writes:
Mr Schenck, the Gorernmeiit auc .
tioneer of this city, sold yesterday a
large quantity of valuable goods re
ceotly taken from the persons of irar
elers rf turned from Europe. Waiches.
ruiffs, diamond, chains and bracelets
were among the goods sold. Iliseaoy
io fee how such ralunblns can be se
creted, roriv baes of cotlce were
brought on sbore, and evidently could
not have been put in anyone's pocket.
A ihoufntid boxes of cigars and silver
foil enough to gild roadway. This
matter of smuggling is reduced to a
science, but is watched by the keenest
of deteciives when thy choose to be
keen. Th searches arw made very
rigidly, and silks and .-aims no longer
pass ihe Custom House free because
run into breadths. As a punishment
he clothes in which diamonds and
lace are sewed up are taken efTof the
wearer and sold uLder the hammer.
VALUABLE FflOTnCKAPU.
The other d&y Marshal Murray
went io the Post Office and took a let
ter directed io a gentlemen in this c.iy
He took it to his office and addressed
a. -
a note -to tbatgeurleman, requeuing
him to csil at a certain hour named.'
He came The Marshall haaued him
the letter and the gentleman put it in
his pocket, as it was addressed to him.
"I would like to have you pen that let
ter," the Marshall raid., .The man de
murred, he prefered to open it at home.
Finding that resistance was useless
the envelope was reluctantly broken. It
held noihinjj but a photograph, and
quite an ordinary ore at that. There
was uot a scrap of writing in the en
velope, nor any imimatioo from whence
ho photograph rime. The only thing
about it which attracted attention was
us thickness. It was stout and firm,
ui necttsiirily so for transmission
through the mails. After examining
it carefully the Marshal took his knife
and seyarated the parts. In the centre
was ingeniously inserted a thin layer of
the finest-kind of velvet cork. The
cork was studded with di nionds, about
seventy in number. The Marshal
placed the photograph in his .safe and
SHREWD HIDING PLACE
The other day a gentlemen stepped
ashore from one of ihe Cunarders. and
as soon as he landed an officer
from the Marshal's office asked h.m
to accompany him to a carnage. Not
a word was spoken by the inaulted
citizen, whose trunks were taken pos
session of by the revenue officers 'Ihe
gruff" official whistled a low fine, and
drummed on the window pane of the
coat h. at it passed up Broadway. On
reaching the Marshal's office the in
dignant gentleman demanded the cause
of the rude treatment he bad received.
The Marshal politely asked him to
take off bis right boot, which he did
with some hesitation. The heel wa
struck off", and it was fou d to be hoi
low, and in it snugly and carefully
stowed awav were diamonds to the val
ue of SS000 Cattle, it is said, can
not pet used to the speed of lacnmotive?.
Before they get ready to move it is too
late. Rogues and smugglers have not
yet got used to the Atlantic cable. Still
cart loads of coffee and like material
cannot be smuggled ashore without the
onnivance of officers. After all, the
extent of smuggling i perfectly enor
mous.
Jj5fln a western village a charm
ing, well preserved widow had been
courted and won by a physician. She
had children; amon'ihem a crippled
boy who had beer pelted and if not
spoiled, was allowed very great "free
oom in debate." The wedding day
was approaching, and it was time they
should kuow tb. t they were too have
a new father. Calliug ihe crippled
boy, she ea'd:
'George, I am going to do something
before long that I would like to talk
about with you."
" Well, ma, what is it?"
"I am intending to marry Dr. Jones
in a few days, and
"Bullv for vou. ina! Does Jones

Ma caught her breath but failed to
articulate a response.
HOW TO SUCCEED
Mew York Corr rsp.iadence Boston Journal.
The cashier of one of our lead.ng
banks resigned some time since and
the paying teller was immediately
elected io fill his place. He was quite
a young man and was promoted over
the heads of those who bad been in the
tank many years in subordinate posi
uons. The secret of the promotion is
well .worth knowing. The new cash
ter lives some miles out of the ci.y.
He entered the bunk when quite young.
He resolved to make himself useful.
Living farthest away, he was the
first at nis post in the n orning- Hav
log the farthest to go he was the last to
leave. He never was afraid to work
and never hesitated to leud a hand
when his own duties were done. Oth
ers would go out to restaurants and
hut Is for their lunch. He bro ight
his with him and ate it in a little closet.
For bis own pleasure be never left the
bank during business hours If any
of the clerks wauled to go away he
was always heady to take iheir place.
He could always be fouud and wi t
prompt at any call. Hi spare time
was devoted to an intelligent compre
hension of his business. As paying
teller he was very popular. He was
never snappish or uugemlemanly.
Growling, grumbling, unreasonable
cu.-tomerscou1d not t rrnatt aui.rle
overstayed bis time to arcommodute
men who were belated with their
checks. As a cashier, be is the same
genal, agreable, pro.nt officer that he
was in subordinate life Meu disap
pointed in their discounts take a refusal
from the cashier with a' better spirit
than they do an arcommodation from
some men. He still keeps up his hab
its of close attention to 'business, and
takes hi frugal lunch in his closet as
he did when struggling lor a j-oaiiior,
in life tj Let young men who reads this
learn wisdom from it. A faithful dis
charge of duty will surely be rewarded.
SFA writer in the New York
Tribune describes as follows the mode
io which the cruel punishment of the
shower bath is administered in the
New York State prisons:
"Tne prisoner it placed naked on
the seat,' having his bands and feet
fasieud immovably, and bis 'throat
clasped by a band of iron in such a
uianusraTo" i ai.n-tia-f axaaaward ifee
ceiling, rendering motion impossible
and i esp:ration difficult. While in this
position, 'tlie water is let upon his head
in full force through a tin plate puTt'or
ated with large holes, which is located
at the top of ihe box. A keept-r stands
outside the bath in charge of the stop,
per, and a medical man attends to de
termine bow much the poor creature
caueudure. The j unihmeut consists
in suffocation and while there is no act
lual intent to take I if", yet I am inform
ed by inmates of that prison that sever
al deaths have occurred there which
are maiked on the hosputl books as
cares of apoplexy and heart disease,'
which were simply deaths produced by
ihe shower bath "
EARLY HISIAG.
The famous philosopher, the teally
great Czar Peter, of Russia, always
rose two hours before day, and when
he saw the morning break, would ex
press bis wonder, thut any man should
be so stupid as not to rise every morn
ing to behold one of tbe most gloriou
sights in the universe. "M-:n lake
delight," said he, "io gzing on a pic
ture, the trifling work of a mortal, and
at the same tune neglect one painted
by the Deity himself. For my part."
added be, I am for making my life as
long as I can; and therefore sleep as
little as possible."
3The editor of ihe Batesville
(Ark ) RepnUican says of that State,
elected under the reconstruction act:
There is not a member in either Sen
,le or ileuse of Re preseutatives who
cannot write bis nume in a plaiu legi
ble hand! And we now assert without
fear of successful contradiction (be
cause we are prepared to prove it)
that it is the first Ueneral Assemblage
ever convened in Arkansas in which
there were not members who could
not write their own names. This is
an item over which it would be well for
the decency and repeciibility to ponder.
ELL!W01tTll'S CHOICE.
We have a miller amongst us, who
is a bachelor, by the way, but never
theless owns a good fl.ur mill above
tbe city a short distance, and which
mill isAoled for making good, even
cho ce flour. Mr. Ellsworth rery
propetly uses a bland on the barrels
containing bU best flour, which, when
transferred to the heads of the bar
rels with a I right blue paint, reads
'Ellsworth's Choice" meaning, of
course, his choice flour. While en
gaged the other day in branding some
barrels, it couple of squaws, belonging
to the camp across the river, came
along and stopped to witness the ope
ration; tbe nice blue paint took their
eye r ght away, and they watched Mr
Ellsworth with much interest. Shortly
Mr. Ellsworth fouud u necessary to
absent himself temporarily from his
work. -lid the sijunws, with tbe reg
ular Ind'an characteristic, as lovers of
paint, took advantage of bis absence
and went to work darting their faces
with blue paint, and ornamenting them
selves in a geueral way. Presently
an idea struck one of the dusky maid
ens, that it would be nice to have the
same thing that was on the barrels to
decorate the new white blanket she
wore around her She accordingly
spread her robe on the ground, g"t the
biauJ oiiijjhe paint," and "in a very
short space of time she warK8irmttog-l
off with her face gorgeously painted up,
and un her blanket, behind, the two
word io large,' bright letters. "Ells
worth's Choice. Shu put on a heap
of style about the city as much - as
though he unders'ood the English
version of the characters she 'bore so
proudly on her blanket, and the affair
created no limited amount of spurt
among the many friends of Mr E.,
wbo all agreed that they bad supposed

pretty young lady, not a buudred mites

"Whtt.do you think of , impeach

The Chicago Ttibune appends the
following story io the above by way of
commentary:
A drover went through the State of
Indiana on foot, buying hogs for the
Cincinnati market. After collecting
his swine he drove them slowly to Pork
upolis; but as there was no telegraph
in tbost duys, there came a heavy de
cline in the market, of which ihe dro
ver was not advised until be reached
the city. Hoping that there would be
an advance in bacon, he put his four
footed property out to board until til
his money was gone, when he was
compelled to sell at a . uett loss of sev
eral buudred dollars. Returning
bome.be was asked by bis neighbors
what were the profits of the operation.
"Well." said he, "I reckon I didn't
make much money out of tbe trip, but
1 bad the company of the hogs down."
The Davenport Gazelle says
there are a couple of young lalies re

Another Outrage by ftu Kltix.
(From the Nasi viUPree May
We learn from reliable authority
that on Tuesday bight, a daring Ku-
Klux outrage occurred in Williamson
county. About sn or seven miles from
the town of Franklin live two Union
men, named Levi Thompson and Wil
liam Fleming, both occupying the same
house. At a late hour, their dwelling
was attacked by a large gang of the
Ku Klux.clad in regular uniform. They
came evidently to murder the two men
in question, aid were only prevented
from carrying this design into execu
tion by tbe determined resistance of
their intended victims. The outlaws
first demanded admittance which was
denied them. Tbey then fired a vol
ley into ihe door and window, fortu
nately, without effect. The two men
inside with their families were, of
course, terribly alarmed", as well thty
might be, for. looking out, ihey discov
ered the dwelling surrounded by a
large number of masked and disguised
men, swearing, cursing and threaten
ing in the most fearful manner. They
did not lose their presence of mind,
however, and seizing every opportu
nity, fired upon the assailants, and are
confideut that they wounded at least
three of them. The Ku Klux set fire
to the out houses, and burned up about
thirty barrels of corn, and other prop
ertjV JThey threw lighted balls of cot-
ton. saturated withcoaToir andetfaerf
ioftamablw substances, upon the roof of
the h.use, for the purpose of setting it
on fire, but io these efforts were baffled,
as it strenuously refused to ignite. The
determined resistance of Thompson
aud Fleming finally drove off the Ku
Klux; but tbey retired with reluctance,
threatening to return.

Our Cheyenne, exchanges have
learned some of the details of the
treaties just , concluded by the- Peace
Commission with the hostile Indians.
Within one week from the 13th iost.,
the Ugalalla branch of the Sioux num
bering some 2.000, will leave for their
reservation io the western portion
of central Dakota, bet wen the White
river a .id the Yellowstone. Tbisis in
accordance with the terms of the treaty
entered into with them.
. Within fourteen days from tbe 13th,
ihe Brule Sioux (Spotted Tail's band)
have agreed to leave for the same res
twttttit;T t riwsY hmvLhaLa.jea-
ervation set apart for ihen on the Big
Horn River cjun'.ry. The Govern
ment promises to assist these tribes
with tbe means of living until they are
able to shift for themselves in their new
quarters.
The Indians known as the Bad Fa
ces, have not vet come to terms, and if
they don't behave, tbey are to be
cleaned out by Spotted Tail and Man
afraid of-his Horses, who have engag
ed to undertake tbe job provided ihe
government will furnish them with
erros and ammunition. It was, howev
er, expected that Red Cloud would
soon come in and make terms.
The Cheyennes and Arrapahoes
have one month's time to decide wheth
er they will go South on the Arkan
sas reservation or north with (he
Brule Sioux. If the terms of these
treaties are only kept, both by the gov
eminent and the Indians, we shall have
peaca and prosperity, and be no longer
troubled with Indian outrages.

UaIss 1st, Losses ,
The Chicago Trifmut makes the ioU
owing companion of gains and looses:
Tbe Republicans have carried
Louisiana by 25,000 majority, elecfffig
bree out of four members of Congress;,
all the State officers, and securing two
united State Senators. The 'demo.
crais have offset this gain by electing'
McAllister Judge of a petty court.
The republicans have swept the old
democratic State of South Carolina by
36,000 majority, electing six members
of Congress and securing two Senators.
The democrats offset this loss by th
election of Dan O'liara clerk of a petty
court.
The repuklicacs hare carried the
great State of Georgia, electing seven
of ihe bine members of Concress and
o
two Senators. Tbe democrats have
elected Sheridan alderman of the fifth
ward of Chicago.
The republicans have gained a mag.
nificent victory in North Carolina,
electing at least six of the eight mem.
bers of Congress, teenring two Sena
tors, and winning the whole Stale
ticket by 20,000 majority. The dem
ocrats offset it by carrying tbe Jem
ocratic Third ward of Chicago and
electing Barrett alderman.
The republicans have carried Ar
kansas electing three members of Con
gress, securing two Senators, and wifl
ningtbe whole State ticket; but agains'
thrs"rldss 7tbe iem'actfatr offset th ...
election of Connellan' as alderman af
the Second ward. ; . ",
