GOSPEL TRUrH-The Albany Dutchman
says:-It is hard to tell which is the most
difficut-to get new truth into peoples
hearts or an old prejudice out. Till a sci-
ence is successful, everybody looks upon il
as humbug; while it no sooner becomes
successful, than everybody wonders Why
"some blamed fool" did not think oft before.
When Professor Morse first props sed to
put up telegraph between Baltimore and
Washington, it was doubted by our most
eminent men," whether electricity had suffi-
cient wind to run even that distance, without
stopping on the road once or twice to take
feed of zinc and vinegar; and yet the fact no
sooner becomes fixed one, than it is sud-
denly discovered to be an old idea revised,
while Professor Morse barely escapes going
toStates Prison, for obtaining glory by false
pretences.

sP The following extracts from the Pam
anna Star, and the New York Sun. we cheer
fully republish, and endorse most fully, the
compliments conferred upon this enterprising
express company They are almost an
essential element in newspaper publication.
We hope Messrs. Gregory & Co. may live
and prosper until they shall be amply paid
for the benefits they are continually reflect
ing upon society:
FAST TRAvELING-That' some things can
be done as well as others we think a recent
trip of our friend Ran Runnels, to and from
Cbapres. will satisfactorily prove. He
made the trip from here down, in 16a hours
and from Chagres back to this place in 223
hours-total 80 hours from Panama to Cha
gres and back again! MIR. Runnels had de-
termined to push ahead of all other expresses
that of Gregory's (Thompson s. Hitchcock
agents New York;, for which he is the agent
here; and by his dispatch, he succeeded in
getting his parcels on board the Crescent
City, Just on the eve of her departure for
New York, where she will probably arrive
one or two days in advance of any other
steamer from Chagres. - Panama Star
Feb ii.
We can add our certificate to the energy
and dispatch evinced by all the parties con-
cerned iu Gregory's celebrated California
and New York express. When steamer
arrives in New York, agents are in waiting
with boats, in the river, into which Gregory's
men drop their important parcels, and they
are landed and delivered an hour or so be-
fore the passengers touch the shore. The
latest papers from California, in advance OF
almost every other conveyance, from Gre
gorys's Express is now matter of fact with
New York editors. Thompson & Hitch
cock, No. lac Pearl sreet, are the agents
here, to whose care all parcels for Califor-
MIA should be sent if safety and dispatch are
wanted.-New York Sun, March %.

A PRIZE SHIP CONVICTED BY SHARK
In the United Service Museum, in London,
there are many interesting things to be seen,
all of which, together with the funds to sus-
tain it, are furnished by the officers of the
army and navy.
Among the many rare thing there collected
are a sharks Jaws, with six rows OF teeth ;
and. attached to them is an account OF how.
when, and under what circumstances, the
fish was caught the substance OF which Is
as follows -
In the war of 1912, numerous British cruls-
ers were on the look out for American YES
sells. all over the world One day an English
corvette sailed into Port Royal harbor, ia
maica, with a prize, which she had taken on
suspicion of being Yankee but as there
were no papers on board, and no flag but the
English, she could not be convicted. She
was, therefore, left in the harbor, with a
prize crew on board, and the crn;zer ssiiied
out.
Two days after leaving Jamaica, she fell
in with another British cruiser on the same
station, and came near enough for the captain
ofthe corvette to board the other. He was me-
on the quarter deck by the other captain
and they compared notes. The captain o
the corvette said he had just taken a prize
but was afraid he could not convict her, a.
there were no papers on board. What !.

LIVES AND CARGoEs.-The crew Of the
first lifeboat managed to reach the vessel;
and by the numbers that crowded the deck,
all crying out and praying to be saved, the
boatmen Immediately saw that there was a
good deal more rough work chalked out for
them. Two or three " trips and the CO.
operation Of their mates ashore, would be
necessary to save so many lives. They
made up their minds to the task, and at once
took as many as they could-landed them
safely at Broadstairs, and then buffeted their
way back to the same vessel again-the sea
often running clean over men and boat. This
they repeated-a second lfeboat from Broad
stairs joining them in the exploit-and in the
day succeeded in taking off every soul on
board and bringing them safely ashore.
The vessel also had a number Of casks OF
butter and lard in the hold which the captain
had ordered upon deck, all ready; but if the
boatman had taken these they must have
saved two or three lives less for each cask
according to weight, so the butter and lard
were left to perish. The crew of the boat
that made its way back to the other vessel
at the furthermost end of the sands, found
that, although there were but few lives to
hands ") there was a much better thi1g-a
valuable cargo. No wild and unmanagea-

women, screaming children. all very difficult

wards returned with two other boats. They
persevered in this " labour of love " till they
had got out nearly all the cargo and carried
| it safe on shore. Now comes the question
of remuneration for these two parties Of bolt
sailors, and the wise condition Of maritime
laws in these very important cases. The
sailors who had assisted in moving the sheet
tin, the tiles and cakes, and casks end bolt:
of copper, and the pigs of lead, received
each man f2O in the current coin of tha
realm; and the sailors who had risked theil
lives in saving the crowd of passengers in the
other vessel having no lawful claim to any.
thing for only saving human lives, received
by special subscription and consideration
half a crown each! Had they saved the
casks of butter and lard, that would have
given them a legitimate claim to salvage
but as it was they had no claim at all. ]
should be added that the sailors knew this a
the time.-Dickcns, Household Words.
