Ho unJcrolJ the trade, and obtained troops of cuntoincrs.' These boots must bo (stolen, said his uvula ; but there was no evidence ilmt they" were certainly they were not siniigfi'd boots, for any one could satisfy himself that tin; full duty was imid upon them at tho cus tom-house. Ihe shoemaker retired from business with a fortune, Afterward secret was accidentally discovered al though lie hud paid duty for the boots, ho had not paid for everything tii.it was in them., Thero was. a heavy duty payable on foreign watches ; nnd o very boot con signed to him from Taris lmd contained in )t high lifol,) .rnyity exactly large enough to hold a wauh'. The .great pro fits obtained by tho trudo In t-muggled watches, madu it possible tor this trades man, when ho bud filled, tin their heels, to sell his boots under prime cast. 'This was worth while,' again', because 6f course, by tho extension of his boot-tnde, hairi croaed hu powj-r of importiitg watches, duty-free.. " Soino years later, aa elderly lady and a lap-dog traveled a good deal between Dover ami Ostend.' It camo to be svn- crally considered at tlio cuHtom-hotise that her travels were for tho- aula purpose of tinugg!tn UruBsels lace, then suliject to exceedingly high duty ; but : neither tho examiners of her luggage, nor tho femnln searchers at tho cubtom-house, who took charge of her person, could by the nar rowest scrutiny rind matter for a singlo accusation.' At last, when fche wus about to decline . the smuggling business, this may accepted a bribo lrom a custom-house oflicer to make him master of hor aeurot. Calling to her side tho hip-dog, who was to all strangers a very uiuppihh.liulo cur, she asked the officer to (etch a knife and rio the little creature oiien.. Like a few of the dogs (which have sometimes even proved to bo rats) sold in the btreets pi London, it gloried outwardly in a false skin; and between the falae a!;in and the true skin was space enough to provide a thin cur with tho comfortable1 fatness proper to a lady's pet, by means of a warm padding of the finest lace., In the reign of Louis the Eighteenth it may be noted by the way very fierce dogs were train ed to carry valuable watches and small articles under false skins across the fron tier. Tbey vCtre taught to know and avoid the uniform of a cuttom-houso offi cer. Swift, cunning, and fierce, they were never to be taken alive, although tby were sometimes pursued aud shot. Not very loug ago, a great number of false bank-notes was put into circulation within iho dominions of the Czar, They could only have' been imported; but al though the strictest search wan tuado ha bitually over every vessel entering a Ru sian port, no smuggling of false notes was discovered.- So Mrict j mant to the scrutiny ,at 'Russian custom-houses, that die ship-captain, who is bound to give an inventory of every artnle on board, may fall into unheard-of trouble if he forget so much as. bia own. private Canary-bird. There was an English captain once at Croostadt, who, by accident, forgot to en ter a fine turtle upon his list. He told the leading custom-house official plainly and honeaily of his unfortunate omission, and the functionary, who was a god-alured man, saw no plain way out of the diffi culty. He recommended that the matter should be 'glossed over by assuming that the turtle was intended for the Emperor. The captain did, therefore, declare that, if he had not entered the turtle, it was because it had been brought expressly as an Englishman's gift to the Czar, and to the Czar the turtle was dispatched ac cordingly. Soon afterward there arrived a government messenger inquiring for this most courteous of raptairs, who brought the gracious thanks of the Czar Nicholas, together with the gift cf a gold snuff-box, embellished with tho autocratic cipher set in diamonds. Instead of fine and persecution, there wore gifts and honors for this lucky sailor. But when, afterward, some other trading captains, aming, as they imagined, cunningly upon the hint, brought lurtlo to exchango for snuff-boxes, his nstuto mniety quietly mado the tunics into soup, but declined, by any act of exchange, to odd snuff. Ihixos to tho 'article of Russian trado shipped nl the port of Cronstadt. Now to go back to the forged notes. Accident brought also that mystery to light. Several cases of leadr pencils ar rived onti dny from England, and wore being examined, when one Of them fell out from a pnekago, and the custom-house officer picking it up cut it to a -point and used it to sign tho order which delivered up the rnses to the consignee Ho kept the one looso pencil for his own use J and a few days' afterward, because - ft needed a fresh point, cut it again, and found that there was no morojead. .Another chip into tho cedur , brought lu'm to. a roll of pnper nested In a hollow loce. This pa per was one of tho false notes,1 engraved in London, nnd thus passed into tho do minions of the Muscovite. - ; , . - , During tho last epidemic fever which displayed itself in this country as a rage for unti'iie furniture, much 6f this was imported from tho Nethorlonds. A shrewd Dutch tradesman very much preferred an order for sofas and chairs to an order for sideboards or tables. Horse hair, he knew, was plentiful enough in England ; the duty upon tea, however, was excess ive i and by an arrangement entered into with his Knglihh agent, it was understood that tea should bo used, instead of hay or horse-hair, as tho stuffing of all cushions ntinrhod ' to furniture transmitted ly his house. In this way there was a fortune mado. Household Words, r! o , ,-!: Rrmarkable Feats of a Mad Dog. A dog belonging to Mr. James McKby, i wno nves tour mnos nortneost of Augusta, went mad, and in his travels Dammitted tho most extensive depredations. Rumor has it that tho dog hod been bitten three weeks previous to his going road by an other dog known to have been rabid but being a great favorite with his master, he tied him up, and ' refused; to kill him ; when attacked with ' the disease, in his paroxysm, ho broke from his fastenings and escuped having, however, before leaving his master's premises, bit two of his horses, which have since gone mad. He then took a course westward, on the Warsaw and Augusta road, and, whoa about three miles from his starting point, overtook Mr. Futchin, who was returning home from Augusta in a wagon, to his homo near Chili ; one of his horses the dog bit, and the animal has since gono mad, . lie next overtook two strangers on horseback, one of whom was leading a third horse ; these three horses the dog bit, but as the travelers proceeded on their journey, it is not known whether fatal re fculu fallowed or not. . At the residence of " Mr. Jumes Nutt, he bit, one horse, which has since gone mad.' !AtWi'gle town he lit two horses (one since inad), aUo two steers (one .sinco mad), and twelve hogs. Next he lit a fine mare (since mad), for Mr. Hart." Next he bit a very fine horse (since tnadj, also threo head of horses (one since mad), also a cow and calf (both since mad). Next, at Sylvester. Crouch's, he . bit one horse (since mad), and fivo sheep (all now dead). ' Next he went to William Taiga man's, bit several hogs, two very large ones, estimated at 500 pounds each (since gono mad), and one steer. At William son's, lit one cow, (since mad). ' Next 1 i II t, a a ta vet ne ten in wun oia Air. mckman and hta son ; ho sprang at the boy with such force as to throw him down, but did not bite him. ' A large dog of Mr. H.'s being in company, seized him and drove him off. He, however, before leaving his premises, lit one (since mad). Next he had an encounter with Mr. Blake's dog. After this he went north to Mr. Adams' and bit one steor. Next he went to John Stuart's and attacked him. Mr. Stuart defended himself with a hoe, and finally succeeded in killing the animal. '. . . , The stock bitten was estimated to be worth ?3,0OQ, "id already gone, mad, $1 ,500. None of the animals Bitten went mad bhort of three weeks from the time, when bitten. The dog invariably caught his victims by the nose. Most of the damage was done in the night, he having left his master's about dusk, and was kill ed about noon of tho pet day. -War-saw Inquirer, CO" Nothing is mora capricious than the judgment of the people if they see a man finq ia the midst of distress, they brand him as impious and hardened ; if thy see another overwhelmed by hU ffrief, and prostrated on the corpse of his friend, him they denounce at week and effeminate, . ! j , t "i i p I if H is r
