chased from another banking institution at

Washington with other bonds, as a basis for

it had been stolen, OIL the ground that us

ment several months, and has at last been
decided in favor Of the Traders Bank by the
Government passing the bond to the credit of
that institution, and issuing a registered bond
therefor, This decision makes the dealng-iu

A New SWindling Dodge.

There is travelling through some of the

is accompanied by her daughter beautiful
and accomplished young lady of sweet sixteen

wealth, had his curiosity excited by the
wonderful stories told Of the seeress. He

The old lady goes off into the clairvovant
State mot yet admitted to the Unon) and
among other things tells Jones that there is a
certain young lady who is deeply in love with
him. Jones feels himself growing credulous,
and knowing himself to be a great lady killer,
the old lady is not SO much OF hlmbug,
after all. The fortune-teler proceeds to des-
cribe the young lady as captivating creature,
with form like fairy's and a soul formed
for love and delight. BY this time Jones is a
firm believer in astrology, cairvoyance chro-
NANCY and every other nancy, aud is more
than ever satisfied that he is an irresistible
fellow. The bag, having wound Jones up to
the proper pitch, informs him that ON a certain
day the enchanting young lady will appear at
the dinner table, where he can sit near her
and make her acquaintance. Jones is de-
lighted. He pays the fortune teller double
her usual price, hurries off to his room and
spends an hour admiring himself in the glass.
The joyful day comes round; Jones fixes him
self up in bis most killing style, and at the
first tap Of the dinner gong hurries into the

THE or STER TAX.

The great mistake which seems to have been
committed by our Legislators in framing the
oyster tax law, was that which fixed the time
for it to go into effect Immediately Had this
been put off till after the present oyster sea-
son, it is generally thought that the law would
The season, at present, is too far advanced
for persons to embark in the oyster-packing
business in Norfolk. In fact, the packing sea-
son may be considered as over, as it is getting
too warm to risk the business to any extent.
The balance of the season would have been de-
voted to sellicg oysters for shipmentin bulk in
vessels to carry North for planting purposes.
But the tax, it is said, will operate to break
this part OF the business down; and in this par
ticular it comes hard upon our oystermen, who
have their all invested in the business, and are
not able to lay over until next year to meet
the anticipated increased demand from the
Norfolk packing establishments
The city of Baltimore does an ima,ease oys-
ter-packing business, and sd &so, does Fairha-
Yen, Connecticut. Their oysters are mostly OBJ
tanned from the waters Of Virginia. 1t is
thought that the operation of the tax law will
have the effect to turn all of this business into the
lap of Norfolk. If it should prove as anticipa-
ted, surely we have nothing to complain of
hereabouts, saving the damage it inficts by
driving off the oyster craft for the balance oil
this present season.
The next season must bring into our midst
a large amount of capital to invest i'll oyster
packing, which will give employment to sew
eral thousand persons for that branch of the
business in addition to those now employed il
catching oysters. NJ

"PEAcEFUL. fHvAsioN.'

"PEAcEFUL INVASION"
"a visit to France during the great univer-
sal exposition of 1867 by the 7th Regiment Of
New York Volunteers, is much spoken Of
Should such be the case, the Americans may
rest assured that they will meet with most
cordial and friendly reception. The city OF
New York may well be proud Of that magni-
ficent regiment, which reminds lis, by the
precision of their drill and the neatness of their
uniforms, of certain legions of the old Nation
al Guard of Paris"
1t would be trip really worth taking, and
we think, like the Courier" that this fine
regiment would receive the greatest attention
at the hands of the National Guard Of Paris "
1t would also be novelty, inasmueh as the
18th regiment would be the first body of Atner-
can soldiery that had ever paraded in a Eu-
ropean city. 1t woald be very pleasant; and
who knows but that short time afterwards a
regiment Of the National Guard of Paris
would pay us visit in return: We should

This is Confederate war novel, Including LEE,
JACKSON, STUART, AsHBY, and other Confederate
celebrities, among its dramatis persona. 1t is
very spirited, graphic, of absorbing interest, and
the delineations of its historical characters may
be relied upon as closely faithful. The author
served on Stuart's staff, met the Confederate
Generals daily, and has portrayed them exactly
as they were. The incidents Of the story are all
in Virginia, and are as romantic, stirring, and
Interesting any one could wish. II ia, of
course, q South-sde novel, but confines itself to
the delineation of adventures and incidents, most
of which were of actual occurrence. better
insight into life in the Confederate army during

incidents, is excellent in style, and full Of inter
