A YANKEE EXPLOIT.

Hats on to the Yankee skipper Who took e cargo of cotton through the rog Into the harbor of Bremen so slick ly that the German war vessels did not know he was there until the fog lifted and they saw his vessel at an chor! And he sailed right m in spite Of the mines and in spite Of the danger from German shot and showed Brem- on the color of the Stars and Stripes on an American merchant vessel for the first time in nearly half a century. So the story runs. Which makes us think that we still have some unde- veloped John Paul Joneses among us, and that if the British navy had few captains like that Yankee skipper the Germans might have reason to trem- ble even in their own ports.-(Balti- more =Sun.)
