delphia Inquirer says 5 The Commissioner of Customs Nathan Sar gent Esq is engaged in exposing and defeat ing a most extensive system of smuggling! which has been in existence for some time past along the Canadian frontier from New Hamp shire to Lake superior It has been ascertained that hundreds of men of preteraled respectabili ty this wide extent of territory are ac tively and secretly engaged in smuggling li quors teas silks spices laces and other valua ble light goods from Canada into the United States to evade the payment of duties which rightfully belong to the Government Many men of wealth beauty brokers and substitute agents whose business has been bro ken up in the Northern States since tbe close of the war have entered largely into this traffic having agents on both sides of the lines who assist in the transmission of the goods across So extensive are the ramifications of thisang that they have either suborned or intimidated hundreds of well disposed citizens on the Am erican side of tbe frontier so th at many connive at it indirectly by being afraid to inform the government agent of this operations of these knaves who threaten to burn the houses and barns of thoe who give information or kill and steal their cattle The smugglers have boats on th lakes which introduced goods re gularly aeroes the line until their operations were interfered with by the agents of the Treasury Department who have been sent out to break up this traffic They have also women engaged in tbe business who smuggle under their skirts many of the light goods mentioned To such an extent has this last' method of smuggling been carried that the department has appointed female examiner at various points along the line whose duty 1 to examine tbe person of every woman coming from Cana da and in thia way many have been detected in introducing smuggled goods The depart ment has adopted the most efficient measures to break up this contraband traffic' and nume rous seizures of liquors spices ami silks have been made 1 '1? Jt only needs the co operation of the citizen the ine break tip this smuggling en tirely but many of them seem disposed to as sist those engaged in the business and even men of suppoed respectability consider it as dishonorable to become informers and thus the government is defrauded of a large amount of revenue These citizens seem to forget it is their interest to break up this trade because thAgftvArnineiteaiinotk $41101 revenue from impoit it must inevitably resort to heavier di rect taxation to make up tbe defieency The work is in good hands however and there is everv prospect that this traffic will bq broken up and the guilty parties punished fI rr ion io A Boston The latest Boston dcdge i as follows: One day Jast' week three dressed olack apparently the leaders of six or eight others who accompany them and wbo are variously dressed A were prowling about that city watching the egresa of ladies from dry good stores whon they aiqnee sorroondi th pioneers in front audaemy rtepptn'e ttongk tArwera take while those in the rear and sides pressed i on as if ip great haste to go forward '1'bis crowding process is continued until a robbery is effertedl when the band disperse in search of new victims iGnc of these aged sinners wore curls of snowy whiteness real or false to cloak 'theirthievish purposes fc ROM TuROPE trte uro tait a ii Jjsrfr fine Tha Great Cable rom the London Timer Jone 30 Since the Great Eastern has been moved from Sheerness all tbe final arangements tor her great undertaking have been pti hed forward' to' the' utmost aud in tbe startthough it is not probable that she will' really move to na be fore the filth or JOth of July bhe is now an chored in the channel aboutscvenzuiles below the Noi'e swinging freely in the wind and tide jield only by a aiogle six ton Trotman anchor and having a minimum ylepth of eight fathoms under her at low water Since she has been moved from her old berth in the Medway tbe work of coaling her to tbe utmost has been steadilv going forward Half of her extra sup ply of one thousand five hundred tons is already aboard and the rest will be Slowed away by the end of next week With all her eights he will then draw a little over thirty tnree feet and a half though with very nearly 24 thousand tons on board Thia comparative! slight immersion gives the best idea of her im mense size as a Iine of battle ships of only two thousand five hundred tons draws seldom lers than twenty eight and a half feet anil very of ten thirty feet Before leaving her moorings in tbe Midway divers were sent down to exa mine the bottom of tbe ship and they reported her tolerably clean except from mussels which will all doubtless 'drop off before she reaches Dover The approaching voyage however is one of the very lewwhen extreme foulness of the bottom would be by no means a disadvantage us it will lie rather ilifli cult than otherwise to keep the Great Eastern at the low rate of steaming required to pay out the cable with perfect safety To ipurc tins only the serev engines will be ed on the voyage the paddle engines neing simply kept with banked up fires in readiness for Use on tbe port or starboard side in case of a ix um wind on either quarter necessitating an assistance to the steeiuge way Her crew willbe about two hundred men and the full complement of all on board including cablehands staff of electricians engineers Sre a little over three hundred men 31 Glase starts with the massive shore end for Ireland early next week This enormous solid por tion oi tne eauie goes ii a iqieciai vessel ano will submerged from Vah nlia to a distance of twentv five miles from the shore on Mon day the loth?

But I am informed that the offering these school sets have invariably persuaded the district officer it was absolutely necessary to have them that a new law was passed re quiring the districts to purchase them and a great deal more and thus have obtained the signatures ot most of the school district officers to a contract for their Now the result will be that if the! voters at the annual school district meetings refuse to votez the $24 or $84 to P3? fpr these records the ofticera who have signed the contrapt tkjU have to pay for the records for there is no law in Michigan whereby

one hundred in number from all parts of the country en dorsing in strong terms jhe Commercial College system Tbe Convention decided to hold out special inducements to returned soldiers for a commer

tended to the members of the Convention They are to visit places of amusement and ob jects of interest to day TOWN GOSSIP The Gr eat Convention has been the theme to which tongue has delighted to do honor We have praised it ourselves Peo ple abroad have praised it and we may surely be forgiven if we feel some pride in its complete success for that it was a success even the snobbies of Chicago are compelled at last to reluctantly admit The idea of such a conven tion originated in Detroit and it is a matter congratulation that it accomplished so com pletely and entirely the objects for which It was called Its influence is yet but just begun and we flatter ourselves with the belief that the decisions so unanimously rendered shall have their weight in the councils of the nation Those who sat among the busy desks of the re porters at least fully appreciated the fact that there was a large amount of talkative ability in the Convention Dujing the thirty hours the Convention was in actual' session not a moment was suffered to pass in which from one to five persons did not occupy the floor with speech motion or resolution Much genuine eloquence was displayed as well as learning and ability It hbeen an Interesting study this Convention and its piepibers The man who attracted most notice pwjpg entirely to the former prominent position he has held in nation was ex Viee President Hamlin Small dark complexioned and withal somewhat ip Ignifleapt in appearance he was neverthetass eloquent speaker and always gained ths an attoptiop He ivas the chosen champion closest sfOcty but it ivas easy to see that of antl reer popular sentiipep His he talked again luslgP Blake of Bangor right hand man was and effective who was really a more ei jQWe of speaker than his compeer IK speech Halifax won most fame for his eloq oa reciprocity At times he rose to the est flights of oratory At times his speecb poetry in sentiment and smooth in flow of la' guage At times he brought tears to the eyes of more than one and again the house rung with shouts of laughter Mr Cameron of Quebec made the most humorous speech His physique is the stereotyped Johnny Bull of tbe comic pajiers redeemed by a most benevolent cast of countenance and a merry twinkle in his eye The moment he opened his lips you felt inclined to laugh IIi command of language was mar vellous and when he chose he wielded it with telling power in an argumentative strain The President of the Convention Gen Walbridge was a man of dignified bearing polished and aflable He always spoke with earnestness and often with eloquence when his eye would flash with unnatural brilliancy and his whole frame would wince with nervous energy He was a fair representation of the whole New York delegation who wore a metropolitan air They were distinguished by a look of solidity a careful style in dress and the well fed appear ance of merchant princes Mr Littlejohn of Oswego was the shrewdest man on the floor He had a point to carry and he carried it But he worked fairly openly and honorably His speecbe were characterized by vigor a shrewd handling of his subject and a style of argu ment tlnt fell liewvily on tbe toea of all who stood the way He drew out the fiercest op positions and he found his greatest pleasure in combating it with equal fierceness Mitchell oi Cincinnati was tbe most polished as well as one of tbe most pleasing speakers on tho floor His language was classical in its purity and the measured cadence of his speech drew wrapped attention He never spoke un less he hod something to say and what he said was worthy of attention and received it Taylor of Minnesota though modest and re tiring showed himself really one of the most able men in the Convention His thorough knowledge of political
