Mr. Lawrence made himself very polite to Mr. Graves, but requested a chance to look into his baggage, whilo his lady companion, who Is his wife, was turned over to the delicate attentions of two female ijispectors. The valiso was opono !. Nothing was»discovered in (t to excite any suspicions. A toilet caw loote4 innocent enough, bub Mr. Liwr.-nce, nevertheless, opened it.

It isn't very likely, but I'll try." TiJting his knifo he cut up tie'soap, and there, in the middle, Y.-yrO embedded eighty-seven glistening diaci Dnds. Mr. Lawrence's eyes spirklod like the diamonds, but the faoo of Ms. Gravel looked iiraver than it had evei- iWu before. This did not end tho search. Under thl lining ol the bottom of the valise was found a handkerchief. In this handkerchief was found a layer of raw cotton. An examination of thii proved thut it also contained diamonds. The ootton was picked open on a table in Cupt. Brackett's ofileo. By actual count 418 diam Dnds were uncovered, clear, beautiful stonjs, of variom sixes, but all of great purity. In Mrs. Graves' possession was found a bonnet trimmsd with imitation berries Cone-alxl in the of tliis bonnet were 5'J diamonds of about to 0 carats each.

Eugene Honeyeet, the examiner in the appraiser's office, declared that it was the most clever attempt at awindling lie' had ever seen. Diamond smuggling, in the nature of tbfc cose. Is the most difficult of detection. Mr. Graves was forced to acknowledge to Capt Brackett th it h» had JrietV.to evada the revenue h«D'.

The opening performance of "Romeo and Juliet," which has been set down for Oct. 18, will probably be postponed beyond that date in oonsequsnce of the di Aoniiy experienced in preparing the elaborate accessorial which are expected to land so much to the success of that revival.
