This one per cent, differ- in of the towns or townships in addition to the derived from the railroad will, it is believed, be sufficient to meet all interest on the municipal and township bonds, so there would be no need of levying of a special tax for that purpose, and the railroad bonds would soon be valuable to the towns or townships possessing them. This matter was talked over and explained fully by the railroad representatives to the committee. Two suggested routes for the road have been under considers. by the promoters. Both these are the same from Raleigh as far as Wilson. At the latter place it is either to diverge via Snow Bill, and Ayden to Grimesland, crossing Tar on page

THE TIGER I OF THE SEA In the your hipped aboard the English brig Ruby fur a voyage from London to Ceylon, calling at the island of tile cast coast of Madagascar. from London to the island not a single shark was sighted. Thirty miles ff the island, as the age was resumed, a shark.

Ho limply Ignored the bait. The men began to whisper about Occident and death, and the captain brought up a blunderbuss with slugs and took a fair shot at the low. He was only about a foot below surface, and the heavy charge struck him at the base of tho dorsal On and nearly tore it away. The shark made a sud- den rush, but only for a few feet. The smoke bad not yet blown away When he resumed his old position. His start was one of surprise instead of pain. He had learned caution, however, and be sank down until lie hail two foot of water over him. Some of the men dropped objects over tho how with a great splashing, but the shark paid no attention to the noise. For nine long days night he kept the place where we hail first seen him, during this time we had two or three squall two days of heavy weather.

The spread of the monster's Jaws was such that he could easily have taken a flour barrel Into Ills month. There was no shark hook aboard, but the captain, being willing to divert the crew, gave them leave to throw over a lot of pork which bad become unfit for eating. There were four full barrels of this pork, and it was fed out piece by piece to that till the last pound was it was so stated by officers and men, and there is no reason to doubt their veracity. When the pork was finished, a piece of beef was thrown over the port rail, and the shark dived under the ship and seized it. How much longer he would have gone on eating no one could say, as there was no more to give He seemed to be as raven- for the last piece as for the first. How one shark could hold all that meat and go eight days with- out eating a tiling is yet another for discussion. While off the southeast coast of Java in the New Bedford whaler Joshua we one day came upon a native craft floating on her beam ends. She had a crew of six men but they were frightened and helpless. The craft had no cargo in her and bad taken considerable water through her single which had been left open. We sent a boat and cut away her masts and righted her. and then a strange discovery was made. There was three feet of water In her bold, and dashing about the water was a shark fourteen feet long. He had come with a sea. and instead of being left on deck had gone down the hatch- way. The natives abandoned the wreck for tho whaler, and three weeks later she was drifted ashore on the Sandal- wood island with the shark still alive rushing about, although be bad had nothing to eat and the water very foul.
