SEIZURE OF VIRGINIA OYSTER BOATS,

SEIZURE OF VIRGINIA OYSTER BOATS
Commander Waddell, of the Maryland hsh-
cry force. left Annapolis yesterday on the
steamer Hamilton, for the Potomac to adj
Just The difficulties that have arisen from the
arrest by First Officer Pembroke, of the
steamer McLane of four Virginia captains
of dredging vessels, tor violation of the
dredging laws. The arrests elected a teie-
graphic correspondence between Gov. Cam
eron, of Virginia, and Gov. McLane, which
resulted in the issuing of an order from the
latter for the delivery of the alleged offend
ers TO the Virginia authorities for trial. This
course is in accordance with the compact
between Maryland and Virginia reached
last winter, the agreement providing that
parties arrested for violation of the oyster
laws Of either State should be tried in the
State Of which they were citizens. The Vir-
ginians arrested by the oyster steamer Gov
McLane few days ago waived an exami-
nation by the magistrate in st. Marys coun-
tv. Md, before whom they were taken
Their cases were to have been finally dis
posed Of to day in that county, but the or
der ofGov. McLane transfers them from the
jurisdiction of Maryland to that Of Virginia.

Most wonderful Is the number Of re-
membranes to be found in every human
mind, their variety and correctness; their
removal from consciousness when they are
not wanted, and their return again and
again when they are wanted; the facility
with which they are recalled, and their
opportunatc recurrence when they are
sought for We need not look to eXtraor
binary instances; the memory OF every
child, duly considcre,,, Is astonishing.
some thousands of objects are remembered;
persons. with their names and characters;
events, with their times and places: things,
with their various qualities; words, with
their proper Specification. These are re-
membercd after months and years; they
are brought back with little effort, and
often come of themselves just as needed.
The rememhran@cs OF most persons 20 back
to the years and lessons Of childhood, ana
include what has been witnessed in many
hundred scenes, heard from many hundred
persons. read in many hundred books.
Much is forgotten, but much is remem-
bered and more might be remembered,
and recalled more readily and correctly, II
the laws OF memory were promptly known
and used.
The power of memory is increased by
exercise 1t is generally stronger in youth
than in old age. There is much difference
in the beginning Of life in natural ability,
some remembering everything more easily
than Others. The three most desirable
