It does get hold of a certain outside public which increases slowly, but it captures no great area of public attention at any one time. The third group of disabilities, as I have said, attaches to the economic weakness of the Free Press.
The ship Talisman, from New York to the East Indies, we burned. The barque Conrad, fitted up as a Federal cruiser, a tender to a man-of-war, we captured and burned. After these came the Anne F. Schmidt, mentioned before, and the Sea Bride and the Sea Bride you saw us take to-day. The estimated value of these captures is 4,200,000 dollars." The American Consul, Mr.

"Never mind," said I; "give me the broadsword scabbard and I will play it as a cudgel, 'tis long enough and full heavy enough."
