That mode of carrying on the illicit traffic was ultimately discovered by an under steward of an American liner, who for a consideration, communicated liA secret to the custom-honfie authorities.

All these contrivances wtfre in discovered; they wore just tho kiad of con- cealments -which tho officers -hail- their thoughts fixed upon. Just as tio customs authorities were under tho impression thai, they had suppressed the illicit truffle a now gem smuggling waa inaugurated, and more diamonds reached the United States dnty freo than before.

Thu painting presents the in ibo act of p.issiag tho Lnckawsnna. which vessel lay nt tho foot of Julia street. The following account of tiis heroic opi- sode was furnished by an officer who took a prominent part in lie daring adventure: At 0 o'clock on 'the dark nigit. of April tho confederate from the month of the Kod riwr into ttie Mississippi, passed a largo fleet-oil federal wsr vessels at that point, nnd Tjogan tho most eMrnordiuary feat of blockade rnn- mado.

Throo hundred miles of hostile river lay before her, and ttie narrow path lined with powerful ships and gunboats, and guarded by 200 cannon at Forts Jaclson and St. Khillp. Through various perils Doualdsonville was reached in early.morning, when, soaking every opportunity to linger ic the unguarded bends of tho river, tho little, vest-el planned to pass Orleans late in the afternoon. But in this hope she was. not lorg allowed for chasing gun- bouts iooii compelled nor to inweaso her fpce'd.
