An emissary Dt the Herald spent Wednesday afternoon with Wilson at the Gravy mansion In the avenue il'Jona and took the opportunity to Interview him. "I have had to suffer , " said M. Wilson , ' 'through the rivalry .of the prefecture and i the magistracy. I have been caught between the hummer and the anvil. " "Is there any truth In the report that you intend to withdraw from polities and settle In Scotland ! " "Tho report Is absurd. I am more deter mined to stay where I am than over. Events have proved that the attacks on mo were really alined nt the president of the republic.

Now the very same men are making capital out of my letter. "An attempt has been made to compromise mu in another way , " continued M. Wilson. "A man named Nlcipuet was arrested for having offered to sell M. Neoyonval n decoration.

"Sollloro and I have been chums from boy hood , " replied Wilson. "Thero is nothing wonderful in his having Invested part of his largo fortune in papers.

[ Now York Herald ' Cable [ Specialto the UKK , ] A'NCW York , smuggler was convicted this morninir before Justice Day nnd u special Jury by his own confession , the attorney general prosecuting ; The smuggler's naino is Adolph Sllvorsteln. His detention of the revenuq tnvtook , InNew York , the form of pressed loaf tobacco stems nnd his method of cirey inventing the customs officials was to pack this Into eight bales Inside n covering of cotton pickings. The attorney general stated that certain Amor- leans were much In the habit of smuggling that material In such n fashion. ' "In fact , " ntWcd Sir Hichurd Webster , with n largo chestnut in his mouth , "tho defendant Sil- vorsteln , gentlemen , may bo said t to have been up to snuff. " It seems from "tho evidence that the tobacco In 'question amounted to about 1,7(10 ( pounds 'and ' the treble duty to 1,000 pounds. It was cons'lgned by Sllvorsteln & Co. , of New Yprk , under the name of Josephs , a clerk of the firm , to H. Goldstein and on arriving bv steamship at' Liverpool was forwarded to London- The shipper , however , was too crafty. He made some holes and pulled tufts of cotton out as evidence , but the stevedores , rats and shift ing widened these holes so that the lynx-eyed inspectors nt Liverpool probed the holes and kept watch on the goods until they were de livered nt the premises in Spitalfields , which had been taken on n lease by the other de fendants at a rent of X70 a year for their re ception. The custom house officers on entering the premises found some of the defendants with tobacco and they were further identified with the transaction by evidence connected with leasing the house , and by a letter found among their papers which suggested the pos sibility of considerable business being done in snuff. Sllvorsteln entered the witness box and made himself the scapegoat. Said ho : "I , only I , was guilty , " but the Jury nevertheless convicted three defendants.

Unfortunately , Mr. Hent sustained severe injuries , which permanently affected his constitution. Sir Lyon Play- fair chanced to bo crossing In the Germanic that trip and admired the pluck of the mate so much that when ho arrived in England he brought the commendable act under the notice of the board of trade , in con sequence of which Mr. Bent received u hand- Rome gold medal for his bravery. Ilisjpromo- tion to the Baltic was shortened in results because it was deemed necessary that ho should go to a warmer climate.
