own age, | then enqulred Of her "dearesl

tween the two accounts, (Which frequently
varies from five years to foriy,) and dividing
the difference by 2, | add that quotient to the
ladys representation, and the result is the la
dy age, or as near as lady's age can be ascer-
tanned.
Example.-Mrs Wellington Seymour gives
herself out to be %. Her friends, Mrs Nc.
Cabe, Mrs. Alfred Stevens, Madame Cornicht

they will eat their respective heads off if she

friends, 46

That difference has TO be divided by 2, which
believe, will give 9. If that is added to Mrs.
Seymour own statement, the result obtlincd
will be the answer required. Accordingly,

Rhe bow of the Clifton struck the Chickasaw lit
tie forward of the wheelhouse, when the latter boat
commenced sinking. In a few minutes the cabin
parted from the hull and foated Off and she having
on board locomotive and ii large quantity of heavy
gas pipe, caused her to sink Immediately. Many of
the passengers and officers jumped on board the
Clifton, and others were saved on tho cabins
but of those below it is thought fifteen to twenty

upper deck so rapidly did the boat go down.
Few would have been lost, however, if the Cliff

also in sinking condition, and had to be run
ashore, where she was only saved from sinking by
discharging large portion of her cargo.
