The poeition of the smuggling trav heer is indeed one of the most awkward p imaginable. I have been a witness of many amusa- I lang canes that have occurred on the ! h White star Sitsi anl at their lan;ing t place. One of these left a lastin im ptpreeion on my memory, owing, per hap, to the extraordinary condluct of oll the memlers of an entire family during the voy.yae from Liverpool to In the early part of September, 187-, .,I I atood as the grangway ,n thbre tre: deck of the Ibtlti'. t which I waa thenf ILn p~O~Il, at Liverpool. watchitg th passengers come on board from the tender. 'lthe slip was anchored in the river, about thlrec-luarters of a milef from the lndtmin r stage. Among the lest to leave the tender wan a family which consistel,i of father, mother and( four daunhter. lThe father was an od niu--short, stout I and thick Ct. lelh wife was round. plump, very red in the foe,-Land panted wlth the exertion she wa- making. The daughters, ,in the contrary, were long. lank, anil thin, blth in face and figure. The whole aipmearaiuce tif the groupa was no poor, aind their res s , shabby ti and worn, that ith they went aft anontg the saloon li lengres it seemed as if a mibtake hoil been nmade, and that their proper place was in the steerage. Many of the immigrants were clad far more neatly. On the pnaFsge, two or three days iater, happening to go aft one morning, I again marked this curious family. i They were witting entirely apart from the other pemCer on the long wooden seat that ran along the.side of the railing. ISteamer chairs were a laxuny in which, elvidently, they had not indulged. The father, mother and four daugh ~te-toe dahubtere resembling a flight of steps of even grndhatonks-sat solemnly aide by side, without uttering a word, and appearing as if they were assembled at a funeral. The ship was full of paseengers, who were mostly Americans. returning from their summer outing. They hadl not much to ioccupy their attention. and soon all who were well entough to enjoy any little novelty or excitement were attracted toward this strange and very eccoutrie family group. They responded so briefly and coldly to kinld inquiries made of them by sev eral of the ladies that even the most inquisitive were obliged to give up try ing to solve tile problem which they seemed to suggest- They were soon left entirely to themselves Not one member of the family was ever seen alone, either on deck or in the saloon. If one of the party rose up to walk. all f,,rmed in solemn pro.es sion. Sicntlv antd sadly they prom enaded up anl dow-n the deck, until. at a silual from the father or mother, all stopred nnol renamted their seats. tOne of the ladies who sat at my tahle asked me what I thought of these po pIe. I had had no time up to that mi mert to think about them at all and to'l her so; hut I added that. if the weather continued tine. I should east an eye on tt-cn occatlonsll!. end tell her what crcluion I arrived at. The seatthir prved favorable, and I began to te s, nmow hat interetteii in the famtly.

Be was dressed in a complete new saul of clothes, a costly overcoat epd alik d hat .' But the greatest change in appearl A ance was in the four daughters. Hith- Ii erto they had been long, slim girls; g now they were quite round and plump. d Their dresses were plain but rich; and p handsome hats shaded their faces, p which were, however, thin and, ,if aon cl thing, still paler than before, g As soon as the ship waS in her berth a and everything made secure, I eame i down from the bridge. and, standing a mar the gangwy.r ., ,athed.te bag gage as it was carried on the daok. It ti so happened that it was pied up not qj far from the foot of the gangway, so i that I had a good opportunity to see l the result of the examination. n The mysterious family had already o gone ashore with the other pasengers, and now stood near a collection of I trunks. bags and bundles of rags. waiting for an officer to examine their luggage. I was well acquainted with the senior c inspector, who was stationed but a few steps from the gangway. Occeeasionally he looked up and smiled as the men f came to him and reported the result of their work. t A few minutes later an omital ap proched the strange family and asked t for the keys of their trunks, which the , old man had not produced. He thrust t his hand into his pocket and drew out his keys. The o!icer took them, fitted them to the trunks, threw open the lid of one after another, lifted the con tents, ran his hand through them; In short, made the usual examin:ion. In the meantime the attention of the I senior oficer lhad been drawn in that + I reiletilma At".* .s..04 "...4. t'l the ....up, carefully scrutinirinp its mem bers while the examination was in pre' res. eWhen all hald been opene', the lids were closed and marked by the inspec e tor, who then reported that nothing contrai,and or dutiable had been found. I smiled as Il herd the report At that moment the eyes of the senior oficer met mine. I noticed a peculiar ex it pressibt on his face Advancing toward thr party, the in spector told the old man to go to the office occupied by the custom-house offi cials. !ty curiosity was excited. I I left the ship, went down the gangway. and stood a few steps distant, watching p the proceeloin-s. The old man's countenance turned a ggr eenish-mi bite as he lool.td in the di , rection indlicateL The old lady trem ir bled and seemed scarcely able to stand; while the four girls were white and . terror-stricken. They followed the superintendent into the olicee, and the s door closed behind the whole party. f. The old man was requested to step . into one of the examining rooms, while n the mother and daughters were taken g in charge by a female searcher and of conducted into another. a After about half an hour the trem bling woman and her daughters re turned to the main nffire. The female h searcher followed, and, going up to the ht table in the center of the room, placed st a small valise upon it In front of the ig appraise. re At almost the same moment the olmd man appeared, accompanied by an offi mo cer.. The officer placed on the table a g small package inclosed in brown paper. i ri The office was now falled with people. , many of whom were passengers from to the ship. They had perceived that the at queer family were suspected, and had id remained behind to seethe "fun." The appraiser rose from his chair, went up ly to the table and opened the valise. v- Every eye was upon him as he drew at forth its glittering contents and spread y- them out before it. v swiss, French and English watches. m chains, both long and abshort. bracelets. rings and jewelry of every description as lay sparkling in the sunlight. The in brown paper package, upon being mp opened, disclosed about six thousand .s- dollars wortih of unset diamonds. u- These were found concealed in the at clothing ~-f the old man. 1l The total value of the goods was es timated to ie nearly eleven thousand dle dollars. n- A loud laugh rang through the room o- at the expression of dismay on the old ad man s face. There was little sympathy be for hi.m, but the position of the poor st old lady and her daughters was indeed 11 pitiable. In the excitement of the moment I I did not think of remarking the appear he suce of the girls until an exclamation its from one of thie passengers drew my v attention to them. They were no tr longer round and plump as just before SI leaving the ship. but had resumed their dormer lank appearance. d. I ascertained later that the greater ad part of the jewelry had been concealed as in the clothing of the daughters. as ne tIhe father had stupidly imagined that, he owing to their youth, they would not e- be suapeeted an On my return voyage I learned that Cr- the old man had been compelled to pay double duty on hih 'oods. 1hether met not he ever made a second attempt at mt smggliung I aent lmy.
