The devises biwhich' women •'defraud the crOrtents
In a neat brown stone mansion up.
town lives JL keen eyed, sbarp-feetured..
woman, who is employed .he a 'searcher
in the Custom -House. •
' 1VTadam, you know something of the
tricks of spingglers, do you not,?' said
the reporter,
' Yee, pito especially female mpg -
glees, who, I must say, parry :on..their:
nefarious business with the reest ohat•m

petty smugglers of bothsexes, but for
cunning, boldness and :determination,
the women cannot be approached.Do

Oh, well, I mean in this direction. A
woman's dress affords her more facili-
ties for hiding small but .costly articles,
an'd: it is far less easy to detect them
• than wen, and almost impossible to 'dr:
oumvent' them., as tilt'` elder Weller
would say, when they set their wits to
work.., It takes an' experienced searcher
to say whether a woman had got 'any-
thing concealed about her, and we can-
not search evexybodv, some of the defer`
ones manage to get through 'witltoiat .
detection, goods, among which wits a small library

onoe searched a young 'lady, a thin -
faced, delicate creative, and int reason
fpr doing so was that she appeared ra-
ther abnormally developed: above the
waist. Well, I found in the . lining of
• her corsets. a quantity of jewellery,
valued at several thousand dollars, She
.was evidently'a new hand at the:busi
nese, and was quite amazed when we
informed her that the jewellery must
be confiscated to the uses of .the 'Gov-

:'following recently : " An •account of a
remarkable incident comes from .Auora,
Ind. A•few days ago, as a: trio of young
men, one a'son of a.prominent citizen
of bilis city.,. were ,fishing . for bass in
Bogan Creek, near'.A.urore, they were
disturbed by a eplaah in tlie• water as

Looking' in the direction, they sat? ;a

after .which it ambled off, satisfied with

story is remarkable, but• is vouched for
by a young gentleman of undoubted ve-'
malty, a ion of Mr. Henry W. Smith;
of,thiu city,who saw the performance..
Ile thinks the animal'niust have'caugtit
tlio fishes under :the ledges of rook in
the bottom of .the stream, as it seemed
to be rooting among the atones while
underthe water."
•
These female smngg'ters imagine that
their sex will protect them from. a, per
sons! examination: An tttunsing in-
stance of this"comes to my mind.. One
of the lady passengers was detained :by
'the authorities, on information t eceived.
A stout, elc1erly,looking • female, who
bad been her companion. during' tete
voyage, accompanied her to. the search -
room. The stout lady was loud in ber
. • denunciations, and threiitenedh all sorts
of vengeance on the bold, 'bad men who•
were giving her friend so wuch^trouble.
But the searchers found .on'the, suspect=.
ed person adlin'ge quantity of fine laces.
and several cut diamonds. .Now, here's
the joke. ke. 'iNhen the old lady and he
friend were abort leaving 'the room,
. one of the lynx -eyed searchers' noticed
something peculiar about the 'hang of
the unsearched woman's dress. In
an instant we knew something was
wrong. We lifted the skirts" of this
respectable old party, while both—wo-
men shrieked. Now, hanging round'
this woman's dress, securely tied with
ittlze,_.wexe.same highly velueble':yioiins,
which are subject to a heavy duty. '
I .remember another case : that of a
middle-aged woman, who roused my
suspicion by her jet black hair. You
see her face was wrinkled, and I thought.
it 'strange she should have 'snob fine
hair. I politely. intimated nay desire .oiiieer heard their voices auto peeped ted in-
p 1
to the cell: Both of the. children were
down on their knees, with Minds clasp.
