as well as to the memory Of the dead,
to provide liberally for her in this en-
ergency.

vised Statutes provide penalty of 500 for the
cents Iy any person for procuring employment for a
seaman There are now in the DistrictAttorneys Of
fee fourteen of this characteIi and thry nave
Conkiing. Recently s. d. Stone, captain OF the brig
Tubal Cain, received from boarding-housc keeper
$40 for six seanen shipped on bis vessel. The
