OFFICERS.
How They
Get Harms Cigars
WItbemt
Faying Daty.
The officers of the United States
navy, said a leading Treasury official
recently, "arc the greatest smugglers
among American citizens. Go into
their homes here in Washington and
, yon .will find them filled with objects of
fortu, fine pictures, bronzes and Turk
ish rugs which they hare picked up in
Joreign countries and smuggled past
the custom-houses. Their cellars are
stocked with choice wines which they
have gotten in the same way, and the
fine cigars they smoke cost them about
half price when they come in. as they
often do, on our naval vessels from
Cuba. It used to be, and not long ago
either, that naval officers sold cigars to
their friends here, and a ourious case
of smuggling cigars happened a year or
so ago. A merchant vessel was sent by
the navy to Havana to bring back to
tiievUnited States some shipwrecked
sailors. While .there they obtained hold
of a lot of cheap cigars, which they
baught in'suoh quantities that they
corded them up in a great pile on the
deck. Over this pile, which looked
very mch like a cord of wood, they
threw a lot of old sailcloth, and when
the customs officers asked them if they
had any dutiable goods on board they
pointed, to this pile and said it contained
cigars. Tho customs officers thought
they were being guyed, and did not
. look at them.
Twenty-two years ago," the Treas
ury officer went "on. "the Trenton ap
peared off the coast near Norfolk. It
stopped at Fortress Monroe and landed
a wagon-load of goods. One of the
officers of tho Customs Department saw
tho landing, but he was unseen by the
naval officers. He suspected that the
bOxes and trunks contained dutiable
goods, and he determined to bo on'hand
when they arrived at the express office.
Fearing the advent of a Customs officer,
they hurried the goods on to a wagon
that afternoon and rushed them over to
the nearest express office I think it
was at Newport News. Here they
found the officer ready to receive them.
He seized the goods and found them
addressed to leading naval officials of
Washington and elsowhero. Upon ex
amination the goods were found duti
able, and the United States was paid
fivo hundred dollars in duties before
they were released.
"At the timo of the Yorktown cele
bration it was tho Trenton, you will ro
mejnber, which was sent over to tho
old country to bring the foreign guests.
While over there the officers in charge
of her picked up a great amount of
dutiable goods, and it is said that a
Weu-imown iaeuuinimi u tvasumgiuu
stocked hi3 cellar from the trip with
enough ine wine to last for years.
"I was in Canada not long ago.1'
continued this officer, "on business con
nected with the United States Govern
ment, and while there I sailed in a rev
enue cutter from Toronto down to Que
bee and landed at Halifax. Here some
of the officers of tho cutter wanted a
few cigars for present use. Wc were
directed to a very nice establishment
As soon as tho owner knew we were
connected with tho Government, he
asked us into a very nicely furnished
back parlor and brought us many sam
ples of fine cigars, which lie offered at
a much lower rate than thoy would cost
in the United States. He showed us
also samples of fine wines, liquors and
brandies. These I sampled, and I
know they wore very fine. Tho prices
of his old Scotch whisky and Hennessy
were, I remember, about half what
they would cost in the United States.
He said: Of course you will want to
load up here. You can get these goods
. for half what they will cost you in the
United States, and we are doing a big
trade with .the navy. Four ships of the
United States navy havo been hero this
season, and I havo sold the officers of
all of them large orders Ho then
mentioned tho names of tho ships, but
I can not givo you these. I remember
only that ono was the Alliance, and I
think another was tho Tennessee, We

A TURPENTINE FOMENTATION.
Th Exquisite ToEtnr-p Your Landlady1
Delights In Inflicting; Upon You.
Did you ever take a turpentino fo
mentation when you were not feeling
particularly robust? No! First your
landladyf who is a very kind .lady in
deed, in spectacles, slips a rag in a dish
of turpentine 'and deposes ifcvery neatly
on the muscles that run up back of the
ear. On top of this she deposits a nice
white cloth, which at intervals she
wrings out in hoj: water. Then yon lie
back upon your pillow and smile affably.
You don't see anything so very bad in
that. You even essay a joke or two,
just to show tho inhabitants that though
cast down you arc not destroyed. Then
suddenly, without the least warning,
somebody lams you in the back of the
neck with the Hat side of a red-hot
hovel. At least, you think that that is
what ails you. and in tho excirement of
tho moment you yell out some very
audible conversation, but it subsequently
transpires that it would have been wiser
to withhold your yells until later, when
they seem better calculated to do you
.good. Whoever it is with the shovel
now begins to press it against you hard.
You groan aloud at this, and if yon are
.a profane man, as I am afraid you
would be. you possibly indulge in a
variety of quotations that can not fail
to caue your landlady pain.
"Am I not almost done?" you pres
ently groan, as that good woman re
nejs the wrung-out bandage.
"Dono?M she interrogates, as she
carefully attends to getting the shovel
back in exactly tho same agonizing
spot
"Yes," you say. "cooked."
"Oh," tho la'ndla ly kindly returns,
"it has only just begun."
Then she goes out of tho room a mo
ment, you "don't know what for. but
you suspect after more turpentine.
Now you fall into a sort of horrid night
mare, anjl you find your neck Jocked
in ono of Torrey's sand mounds, which
a sooty-faced workman in a dirty apron
is pouring full of molten brass" How
it sizzles and burns! You shriek aloud.
Then you snatch off those wet and tiery
bandages, and you fling' them madly
across the room, just in season to catch
the landlady, who at this instant un
suspectingly opens tho door, square in
.the face, to her undoubted astonish
ment and alarm.
Why," she exclaims, when she has
recovered her composure and the rags,
they haven't been on'half long enough

"Wpman," you scream, "as she ap
proaches the bed with the clothes m
iand, "keep away with those odious
'implements of" wrath. Away, I say

TRICKY
LOCKSMITHS.
A Class f Mechanic Whose Days t Bse
v falaesa At Over.
"Tell you something about lock
smiths!" exclaimsd an old craftsman,
dolefully; "there are none anymore.
The trade is dead. Locks are all made
now by machinery, except, perhaps,
safe and prison locks; those are hand
made because they afford greater secur
ity than the other kind. Time wa
when the lock-maker was a smith and
.bell-hanger as well, audthe trade was
a good one; but it is all changed now.
and we do nothing now except repair
ing, or occasionally duplicating a key
that has been lost.
"The factory jnaue article, has taken
the place of 'the band-madu article, and
drivea us out of the business. Now,
perhaps, twenty men art) required to
make a lock which formerly was the
work of one man. These men super
intend machinery by which certain
parts of the lock1 are matie. One man
handles a punch, and cuts out the tum
blers; another makes the sliders; the
springs are made by another, and so
on, until all the the parts are ready to
be put together. None of theaey men
could make a lock without assistance
from othor workman, and thoy have no
knowlodge of th principles of locte.
"Before the era of machinery all
locks were made by hand. That it
whyjolcl locksmiths understand their
business so well. But there are very
few smiths of the old school in the busi
ness now. Most of tlivm hstvrt quit
making locks, and are making sewing
machines. The piinciples on which
sewing machines are made win be easily
understood by any l"ckniith, and there
is more money to bo mada in the new
business.
"Yes, tho modern lock is superior to
the old-fa3hioned one. and for this rea
son,' it is harder to pick. The old lock
was maJe to accommodate a large key,
so that no matter how fine the con
struction inside an accomplished cracks
man could always get an idea of the
works. Tho keyhole being large, ho
would insert a wire, tho end of which,
being covered with wax, would receive
an impression o. the stylo of key re
quired to open the lock. It wa-t an
easy matter to make a key after this
model in wax, so that almost all tho
old locks could bo picked with but littlo
difficulty.
"Thepatent lock of to-day, requiring
a flat key, defies any attempt at picking'
the works, because the key-holo is so
small and the slots are too numerous.
For that reason skeleton keys are use
less to thieves nowadays, and cracks
men rely for success principally on their
possession of duplicate keys.
" 'Jail work as it is known to the
trade, is th only branch of our busi
ness where machinery is not U3ed
"AlLthe lock; for jails and peniten
tiaries are made of wrought iron and
constructed witii from two to nve tum
blers finished off smooth on the inside
and held together by steal screws and
brass clamps. The parts when thus
joined ari absolutely air-tight, and the
only opening in the lock is the key
hole. Such a lock is as durable as can
be made.
"The principle of the modern Jock is
very old. I have a book here which
gives a description of a lock found
among ruins of the great temple of Kar
nac, and which was in use more than
forty conturies ago. The leading prin
ciples of thb lock have served as the
foundation for most of the inventions of
recent times. The locksmiths of China,
we are told, had, centuries before the
birth of Christ, perfected a lock out of
which a sharp bamboo thorn would dart
and strike the hand of any one wrong
fully tampering with it. Tho end of
this bamboo thorn was steeped in a
poisonous decoction, and, should the
luckless thief escape death, ho would
be marked for life. But this story is
hardly entitled to full belief for tho rea
son that, as the Chinese themselves
claim gunpowder was manufactured by
them at the time, a celestial safe-blower
could easily render the patent lock
harmless by the aid of a few grains of
powder.
"The mediaeval locks were among the
most elaborate and delicately contrived
specimens of these articles ever pro
duced. They were enveloped in steel,
covered with heads and floral designs,
and were mostly found on the doors of
the ancient cathedrals or in.the magni
ficent cabinets that have been the mar
vel of succeeding ages." Cfiicaqo

COPPER "Tn TEXAS.
Illstoiy of the nicovT7 of tba ttcClel
l:tn Mlnln? Ctainis.
According to a Texas newspaper, the
copper region, of that State is.oj gnat
extent; running westward from Bad
Kiver, from the line 'of the'
Indian
Territory,
through "several counties,
prominent among which are Archer,
Baylor,' Knox, Hardeman and Cottle.
The district is approximately in lati
tude thirty-two degree north, with
Red Kiver to the north as well as the
east, and the Brazos River to the
south. The copper deposits were dis
covered by General George B. McClel
Ian, in 1852. In that year, 'McClellan,
then a Lieutenant in the army, was de
tailed by Jefferson Davis, Secretary of
War, to accompany an expedition up
Red River into Texas and Indian Ter
ritory. While on this duty Lieutenant
McClellan found important deposits of
rich cooper ore near the point where
Cache Creek empties into the river,
and some miles above it was discovered
that Red River flowed through appar
ently solid beds of the valuable min
eral. In the same locality rich gold
bearing quartz veins and placers wore
found, and all the conditions pointed to
the existence of a mining district
mi great possibilities. To complete
the' romantic history of the
discovery of copper in Texas,
it is only necessary to add that
General Mi Clellan is now, after the
lapse of a third of a century, the lead
ing spirit engaged in the development
of the deposits. The Grand Belt Mines,
in which he is largely interested, are
fifty miles from Harrold, in Wilbarger
County, from which latter point forty
wagons are at present engaged in haul
ing coke to the smelter. The smelter is
an experiment, but has a capacity of
forty tons per day, and is suitably pro
vided with engine, blower, pumps, etc
All told, the McClellan Company's pat
ented claims embrace some 36,000
acres, stretching sixty-five miles adong
the ore belt. Upon this vast property
they have made probably sixty shallow
openings of an average depth of seven
or eight feet. The ore is fo nd princi
l ally in shallow pockets, and at the
main point of taking out is said to av
erage about fifty-four or fifty-five per
cent. me;aliic copper. Some of it is
supposed to be very rich in silver. The
most promising opening being worked
by the company is at Kiowa Peak,
the center of Mot lev County, some sixtv
miles west of Margaret, the county seat
of Hardeman County. Scientific Amer

FIFTY YEARS AGO.
How Captains of tfce MtUtla Were Elected
In 183.1.
It U fifty years ago, and the enrolled
militia of Hanover Precinct have met to
organize & regular military company.
Air. Brown rises and nominates Tom
Jones as Captain. Jones said he knew
but little about mustering and suchlike
things, but he guessed that if the boys
wanted him he would drill 'am the best
he knew how.
At this point, Mr. Campbell, amid
great applause, suggested the name of
fclder Reese, saying that although he
was a first-class local preacher, yet he
could attend to the duties of both of
fices. He was fine-looking, quick
witted, ready with the tongue, born to
talk and to command and was just the
man the company needed for Captain.
When the long and loud cheering
ceased, the following are the remarks,
taken by a veracious reporter, which
Elder Reese made in response to his
nomination:
"Gentleman. 1 arise to accept the
nomination of myself as Captain of
your company. If yon see fit to elevate
me to that nigh and honorable and
most responsible position, then I will
endeavor to rub up my military tac
ticles and serve you to the best of my
ability, as the duties of. Captain will not
at all interfere with my Sunday ap-
SDintments to preach to the people,
ut, gentlemen, if you prefer Tom
Jones to myself, then I will drop into
the private ranks with the same degree
of eloquence and affability."

Three decade? are an immense period
in tho history of such a city as Mel

that the market value of "town lots"
has increased in something like cubic
ratio within the last thirty years. Most
marvelous of all, perhaps, is it to reflect
that not only the site of Melbourne and
its suburbs, but au immense tract of
the surrounding country, was once
within an ace ot being sold, "lock,
stock and barrel," for, metaphorically
speaking, an old song. I alludo to the
famous Merry Creek treaty. At the
beginning of June. 1835, Mr. Batman
ascended tho Yarra and Saltwater
Rivers, and a few days afterward ho in
duced certain aboriginal chiefs named
Jaga Jaga, Cooloolock, Bungaree, Yan
Yan and Movuhip, to execute a formal
deed of assignment, conveying to him
and his heirs forever an area of between
600.000 and 700,000 acres of land,
which would have comprised tho sites
of the cities of Melbourne, Geelong
and Collingwood, the towns of Emer

graph depicting the arrival of the first
gold escort from the diggings at the
Government building in William street,
in 1852. The gold ' has been brought
down in huge chests, three of which
form a load, to a dray drawn by a long
string of bullocks. There is an escort
of troopers, armed to the teeth, for in
the early mining days attempts on the
part of bushrangers to "stick up" or
rob the gold escorts were frequent
Young as were the days of mining in
1851, you see in the picture John China
man, already about and as busv as a
bee. The letterpress at the bottom of
it tells you that the people looking from
the windows of the blue-stone building
in William street are the clerks and
draftsmen employed in the office
of the Surveyor-General, and that
on the day following the arrival of the
gold escort these gentlemen all threw
up their appeSutments under Govern
ment and were oft to the diggings. The
crews of ships at Williamstown and
Port Melbourne used to act in precisely
the same manner. They would desert
en masse. Those were the days of al
luvial deposits, of big nuggets looking
the diggers in the face, so to say. Large
portions of the colony of Victoria were
then a veritable Tom Tiddler's Ground,
where gold was to be had for the pick
ing up, for the scooping out, for the
shoveling together. The consequence
was that everybody, from all uarts of
the world, who had a little' money
and a great deal more energv and
pluck, started for the diggings. '"There
was a proportion of weak-kneed breth
ren, whose pluck vanished as quickly as
their money did, and it soon became a
case of the survival of the fittest There
was left a residuum of real "live men,"
as the Americans .say, and those livt
men and their sons have made Mel

marvelous. George Auqustus Sola, in

At this moment the attention of
everybody was attracted by the keepor,
who was actually smiling. It was the
first time his features had relaxed dur

round him.
"I am going to show you a little in

pretty often. In former years they used
the lash, the paddle, the douche, and
often calmed men by putting them in
the dark rooms. The fiercest spirits
are quelled by imprisonment in a
dungeon. The wildest case we ever had
turned to a lamb after tweuty-fiv days:
imprisonment, without agleamof light,

however, by ray littlo invention. We

SCHOLARS.
The Chine Faptla uf w ch!ctgi Sabb'-h
.School anil Thtlr Intallicener.
Thirty-nine Chinamen of pious In
clinations attended the Chinese Sunday
School at Dr. Goodwin's churob, cdrnec
of Ann street and Washington Boule
vard, yosterday afternoon. Many of
them had dis arded tho costume f
their native land and wore tho dr& if
this country, but by far the greater
number had on their abbreviated
Mother Hub bards and sandals, and
woro their hat) so as to display the fall
beauty and symmetry of their ci.es.
All were scrupulously neat in appear
ance, deferential in manner, and atten
tive to the exercises. These consisted
of prayer, the ringing of hymns, both
in English and Ch'nese, and the ex
pounding of the S.'ripturos.
Tho ladies of Dr. Goodwin's chlrch
havo exerted themselves toward the
conversion of the Chinese, and 'Since
tho Sabbath Scho.il was established,
upward of a year ago? many of the
heathen havo embraced Christiaaity.
Yesterday one Chinaman wai learning

scholar. If tho latter can sot road, he
is taught the alphabet and is then made
to spell word forming part of some

He is inquisitive and anxious to loam,
and his quick, subtle mind readily
comprehends an 'idea. The teachers
say the Chinese are model pupils.
Whon they sing the somnolent look
vanishes from their faces and thoir
smart countenances aro lighted up with
joy.
"The Chineso are a misunderstood
people," declared a lady prominently
identified with the work. "They are
always respectful and it is almost pa
thetic to see how anxious they are to
learu. Then they are generous almost
to a fault. When this work was first
commenced we took up a collection
once every Sunday, but the Chinese
gave so much that we were obliged to
limit the collections to once a month.
They could not be taught to give five
cents, but gave half-dollars and dollars.
Not long ago we planned to give them
an entertainment in the church. They
learned, of it and in five minutes went
among themselves and collected $60.

WIDE AWAKE.
A!rtnM On nt tUe IailNpaasabt Ooo
olltlO'ia of Succe-M.
It is interesting to notice the different
degrees of success attained in business
or professional life, by men who appar
ently start with equal chances. Those
who fail of "success" in gaining money
may be as successful as the millionaires
iu making themselves useful and their
lives happy; yet an observer may learn
much lrom noticing the causes which
led to failure or to success. One char
acteristic of successful men is close and
wide-awake attention to the work in
hand, such, for instance, as marked a
New York driver on the line of stages
which have recently been withdrawn
from Broadway. He had a genius for
driviVg a stage, and was noted for keep
ing his stage full of passengers, and for
taking in more fares than any other
driver on the route. His success was
not accidental. His eyes were forever
on the lookdut, both on Broadway and
in the side streets, so that he never
failed to see a distant nod or a slight
gesture. A similar alertness for busi
ness is noticeable amoner the fruit-ped
dlers, the boot-blacks and the news-boys
qf New York. Three carts full of ban
anas and other fruit may be often seen
standing close together by the side
walk. The man in the middle cart will
work 'every moment standing up,
calling attention to his stock, and alert
to grapple with any one who comes up
with the slightest intention of buying)
But the other venders will be seated
and hslf-dozinr, or reading a news-
L paper, carelessly waiting for a customer
to asic lor iruit. eeiore noon tne ap
pearanco of the wagons shows the in
evitable result. By night, the middle
wagon is empty, while the other
venders wheel home a good part of
their stock to keep till the next day,
and complain of "bad luck" and "hard
times." Some of the boot-blacks fly
about through the crowds like shuttles,
eagerly examining every pair of boots,
and asking hers and there: "Have a
shine, sir?" Even the beggers keep a
closewatch on the streaam of coppers,
and sever stay lone in a spot when their
income begins to fall away. This alert
