In the United States Service Mu
scum, in London, there are a grea
many interesting things to be seen
all Of which, together with the fund
to sustain it. are furnished by th'
officers of the Army and Navy.
Among the rare things there col
lected is a sharks jaws with six row.
of teeth, and attached to them is al
account Of how, where, when, ant
under what circumstances the fsf
was caught, the substance Of which
is as follows
In the war OF 1912, numerous Brit
ish cruisers were on the lookout for
American vessels ali over the world
One day an English corvette sailed
into Port Royal harbor, Jamaica,
with a prize she had taken on suspi.
cion of being Yankee, but as there
were no papers on board, and no fac
but the English, she could not be con-
victed. She was therefore left in the
harbor with prize crew on board,
and the cruiser sailed out.
Two days after leaving Jamaica
she fell in with another British crui-
ser on the same station, and came near
enough for the Captain of the cor
vette to board the other. He was met
on the quarterback by the other
Captain, and they compared notes.
The Captain OF the corvette said he
had just taken prize, but was afraid
he could not convict her, as there
were no papers on board. "What is
her namel' asked the other. "The
Nancy" "Oh, | know her. The
Nancy, Captain Bush. supercargo,
John Williams" "Why where did
you see herl-that is the Captains
name, and the supercargo is also cor
rect"
"Well, walk aft, l will show you a
shark we caught this morning. and
we are driving a part of the contents
Of his stomach on the poop"
They walked aft, and the Captain
handed his visitor the ships papers
which Capt. Bush had thrown over
board on being chased, and the shark
had picked them up for his breakfast.
The two cruisers on making this dis
;overy made sail for Port Royal to-
yether, where they arrived. The
Nancy was convicted, by the papers
ound in the fish, and the two British
cruisers shared equally in the prize.
IThe Sharks always took sides
Igainst our country, and sympathized
With the British.

The Richmond Enquirer has taken
ground in favor of the emigration o.
free blacks TO Jamaica, and recon-
mends the imposition Of a tax upon
this class OF population in Virginia,
TO raise fund for their removal. II
hopes thereby to separate the free ne.

slaves, and TO build up and attract to
Virginia the trade Of Jamaica. Simi.
lar views are entertained by other in.

too, that this Association has an agentin Camden

Thus system of superveillance is kept up, and
some concealed villains scattered over our State

THIS is all true. Lawyers in this town have told
US they have been applied to by this same Asso-

They, through personal enmity to some, however
solvent merchant, report him as insolvent. His
goods, if bought, are stopped in transitu-if not
purchased, he cannot get credit, and thus may his
business be effectually broken up. How long shall
