-i T " RACE WITH CUSTOMS OFPICERS. rxpcrloncc r a Yankro Skp'rr In Smn. CllnB Cheroot In Spain. "Youwautfiomuthiug to writo about, do you?" iuquirod Captain Brncoblock, nu old skipper, in roply to n rcportor's query. "Well, do you boo that flag?" nud ho directed my ntteutiou to a rov ""A0 'li'gilyiiiB from tho staff of a boat. Woll, that reminds mo of a little epi sodo in which I figured a great many yoavs ago. "In tiio summer of 1835 I was ono of tho crow of tho Khip Curlow, at that timo wailing in tho port of Manilla for a cargo. Captain Darieus 'Old Baruy, wo called him was an oncrgotic trad er. I then thought lnysolf protty smart Whilo wo wero in Hongkong tho old uan had a light cedar cutter mado' es pecially for tho transportation of him fculf and wifo aud Tor quick communi cation with tho shoro in whatever pore tho vessel might bo. Ho took especial prulo in his .racing gig, as ho termed it, and had a picked crow, with mo as a coxswain. "Tho bhip was moored nearly nine miles from tho town of Manilla. Once, hmo, and souictimos twico a day, tho gig was maimed and rowed over that distauco to tho housoof Russell & Stur gis, who wero our consignees as well as tho representatives, minister and consul of tho United States in that port. Thoir oillee, which was a palatial affair, was situated Fonio distance np tho Vanish' (Auglico canal), aud to got to it wo had to pass tho fort at tho outranco of tho waterway leading up to tho interior of tho city. The old man had somo two dozen gceso on board, and ho made a deal for them ashore, taking cigars in payment. As in all Spanish countries, an import and oxport duty provailed. Tho task of taking tho geese ashore and bringing off tho cigars without paying duty fell, of course, upon me, and in fepito of tho usual quacking characteris tic of tho bird I got safoly by tho rev enuo officers, landed tho fowl aud load ed tho boat with cheroots. In tho canal, plying its length, was a ten oared cus toms boat. Wo had nearly gained an exit to tho harbor, whon out from a shel tering point dashed tho guards and hail ed us. "In my excitement I cried in Span ish, 'No entendo,' and at onco tho boat started for us. Knowing tho fate in Btoro for us if captured, I said to tho beys: 'You soo that boat. If slio over takes us, it means a ball-andchain for at least two years in that fortress. Shall wo givo them a chaso?' A loud Amer ican cheer arose from tho crow, aud tho next dip of tho oars noarly lifted tho boat out of tho water. The guardboat started aftor us, aud occasionally a ma rino would stop in tho bow and dis chargo a musket at us. Of course we did not dare to pull to tho ship, as that would have established our identity, so wo wero compelled to strike out td sea. At tho outranco of tho harbor, 18 miles from tho city, is an island, and to that, closely pursued by tho rovenuo boat, wo pullod. After reaching tho island it was a game of hitler and seck.uutU dark ness camo on, and then we put back or our ship. Our raco had been witnessed from our vessel, and when we arrived tho guardboat was not over a quarter of a mile astern. Tho davit tackles wero all ready to hitch on, and boat and all, with 20,000 cigars, wo wero run np." Tho boat was taken on deck, painted black and swung to her proper position only a fow minutes boforo tho vessel was boarded by a crowd of customs offi cers in search of a white boat that had given their bargo such a raco. "Tho uoxt day, when I wont ashoro, Barny gavo mo a doubloon to treat tho boat's crew. Siuco that timo I have never soo a revenue flag of any nation but it recalls to my memory tho incident I have jubt related, aud it makes mo laugh when I think of tho blundering uiacksmau shooting at us, the pompous ofllcer in chargo of the boat demanding our surrender nud tho poor, tired, sweating oarsmen in thoir heavy uni forms chasing tho robust Yankees of my boat's crow, who, with but slight exer tion, could propel their light boat through tho wator two foot to our pur suers' ono.

"Tho Campaign" has disappeared crat of literature; "Cato" is known only by a few much quoted lines; tho "Specta tor" itsolf, though a work which "no gentleman's library can bo without," dwells generally in a dignified retire ment thero and is seldom seen on nuy tablo but tho student's, though wo nro all-supposed to bo familiar with it, but Sir Ilogcr do Coverley is tho familiar friend of most people who havo road anything at all, and tho acquaintance by sight, if wo may so speak, of oory body. There is no form hotter known in all literature. His simple rustic stato, his modest senso of his own importance, his kind aud genial patrouago of tho younger world, which would laugh at him if it wero not overawed by his mod esty and goodness, and which still snick ers in its sloovo at all thoso kind, ri diculous ways of his as ho walks about in London, taken in on all sides, with his right hand always in his purso and his heart in its right placo and always familiar, aud delightful. Wo seem to know Sir Rogor from ourcradlo, though wo may uover even havo read tho few chapters of his history. This is tho one iufalliblo distinction of genius abovo all commoner endowments. Of all tho actors l-i that stirring timo Sir Roger remains tho most living nud real. Mrs. M. O. W. Olipliant in Century. Colored DrcsH Coats. A London paper prints this remark- auio mt of uews: "Even if English society ho-,itates be fore adopting tlio colored coats for even ing dress; America has decided to take tho step. At some of tho most fashion ablo. gatherings coats in claret color and uavybluo, with plush knee breeches fastened with threo buttons, black silk stockings and shoes, with black bucklos, havo been seen. So far Mr. Ward Mc Allister lias not been tempted to desert tho conventional, but ho is bolieved to bo favorably disposed toward the inno vation. " While on tho topio of men's fashions It might bo woll to add that Tho Court Journal says that thero is " a fad com ing on rather strongly" among English swells of tho sterner sox "for submit ting tho arm to tho process of tattooing" as "an iudoliblo dovicoto affirm indeli ble love." Tho writor adds: "But it will bo there as an accusing ovidonco perhaps in many cases of a past and no longer existing affection. It would bo much moro intelligent if the hero of a truo lovo wero to havo a gold bracelet riveted tightly round his wrist. It is a foreign custom which is being largoly patronized in England by somo men. Moreover, it may bo considered as a voucher for being tho possessor of a little superfluity of gold and even some rainy, unforeseen day may come in useful when filed off."

A reputation for truthfulness and implicit honesty is a possession no body can take away from you." Ho paused n moment, set his lips firmly and cast a searching look over his nudienco. Then, raising his voico, ho went en: "It has been my lot, children, to minister in a humble, and, 1 trust, a useful, wny to tho instruction of tho peo plo. I havo sought to combiuo amuse ment with that instruction. Whatever tends to instruct and annuo the pcoplo elevates them. Tho works of nature, childrou, aro wonderful.
