There arc rumors today that prominent Of:
dccrs in the Baltimore Custom House and
Post-0ffice have rendered their designations,
to take eject after Lincoln dppoints their s.scets
surs, hut they arc wanting confirmation. Pub
lie feeling is still feyeris6, owing chiefly to tho
financial pressure and the decline In stocks.
The Bank officers arc much exercised rs to
how they will meet the cxigency, and relieve
the merchants, who press hard tor loans. Bus1-
ness Of all kinds ia interrupted, but the Union
sentiment is strengthening. The people nuke
the excuse for the most Southern agitators,
tlsat they nre disappointed breckenridge poll
ticians. The chief complaint is against those
Northern States nuliiying the Fugitive Slave
LAZY.

Nile, it behaves crnelly to its young before i
gives its blood for them. Our naturalist says
that the young pelicans, when they begin tc
grow, beat their parents in the face. Tho
angry parents strike again and slay them
After which they sorrow for three days. On
the third day, the mother strikes her rib, and
opening her own side, bends over the dead
little ones, and posrs her blood upon them
BY this they are restored to life. We dare
not point ont in an article of this description,
what portions of the story of the pelican
have caused that bird to be. accepted as a
Christian symbol
The Piralis is a four-leggod fly land fly

/ Porphilio is a two-legged bird, semi-aquatic,
having one foot with free claws, and the 9th
er webbed.
We pass from birds to fishes; but the fan
cy of the old naturalist passed out of all ken,
in treating of the wonders Of tl.e sea- There
were sel-horscs, sea-lions, sea-hares lawfully
poisonous sea-wolves, sea-swine, sca-locusts,
and many more, pictured ir books with "a
few fins aud scales, as really horses, lions,
hares, wolves, swine and locusts. There was
the Chlon, with mans head, living on moth
ing more than his own viscous humours.-
There was the Balena, not SO very like a
whale, most cruel 10 its mate There were
those maryels, the dolphius, who swan about
with their babies at the breast, and their eyes
in their blade bones, who dig graves for their
deceased parents and friends, follow them in
funeral procession, and bury them in subma-
rinc cemeteries, ont of the way Of the fishes.
There was that strange fish the Dies, with
two wings and two legs, which, in the perfect
state, lived only fora day There is the Pho
ca, which is the sea-ox, another oceauic brute,
who is pcrpctually fighting with his wife un-
til he Kills her. Always remaining in the
same spot, when he has killed one wife, he
disposes Of her body, and takes another, so
playing Henry the Eight to a series of wives,
until he either dies himself, or finds a mate

What shall be said of the sea-monl, cruel
and deceptive monster, who lifts up monks

and with a mans cry scduccs men to their
destruction We have seen enough to lose
surprise at finding Ncrcids fully treated of ms
fishes, and even also Scylla and the Sirens,
In treating of Sirens, the zoologist quotes Is
idorc's opinion, that the account of them is
a fable Of dcccitful women, only to dispute
it, upon the authority both of philosophers
and holy men, who have regarded them as
true sea monsters.

Table Etiquette i've Centuric. Ago.

The following, says the Ndtionql Intslli-
geacer, is taken from a manuscript entitled a
Boke Of Cartasye, written five hundred years
ago, before the invention of printing, but
still preserved in the British Museum:
"Pare thy bread in two, the upper crust
from the under. Cut the upper portion into
four quarters, and set them together as if
whole. Cut the lower crust into three, turn
it down and lay it before thy trencher. Sit
upright, nor touch bread or wine, drink or
ale, until thy mess of meat be offered thee,
lest men say thou art glutton. Keep thy
nails clean, lest thy neighbor be digusted.
Bite not thy bread and lay ii down,
That is not euTtasye to use in town
Bat break as much as thou wilt eat
The remnant for the poor thou shalt let.
"Eat in peace, and avoid disputes and
games.
Let never thy cheek be made too great
With morsel of bread that thou shalt eat;
An apes mouth men say he makes
That bread and flesh in his cheek ballcs.
"Do not laugh or speak with thy mouth
full, nor sup thy pot.~ge noisely. Let not
thy spoon stand in thy dish, nor lay it ON
thy dish-sidc, but cleanse it. Soil not the
cloth with thy fingers. Wipe thy mouth ere
drinking. Call not for a dish that has been
taken from the board. Spit not on the board,
nor play with thy dog"
From the direction relative to cleaning the
nose at table, it seems pockct-handkerchiefs
and napkins were not in fashion, as the diner
is directed TO wipe his fingers in his tippet
or his shirt:
"Cleanse not thy teeth at meat sitting
With knife or fork, stick nor wand,
Whilst thou hold meat in thy mouth beware
To drink, that Is unhOnest cheer;
And also physc iorbids it,
And says thou may be chokcl by that bit;
II Il go thy wrong throat into,
And stop thy wind, thou art fordo
Don't tell scandalous tales at table, don't
stroke the cat. Avoid fouling the board with
thy knife. Blow not on the meat, nor cat
with thy knife. Wipe not thy teeth with
the board CLOTH Lean not on thine elbow,
nor dip thy thumb into thy drink.
"Dip not thy fish or meat into the salt
seller Spit not in the basin where thou
washest after meat nor spit like vagabond
at any time"

Old Ekcnsel's Epitnnh.

/ Many years ago there lived an old Indian, who
/ had become quite poet having written some lit
/ tie pieces that attracted attention He had been
educated in one Of the New England colleges, but
subsequently partially relapscd into his former
barbarous vices In latter life he travelled thro'
the country, paying for his provisions and his
whiskey by the exercise Of his poctical talent.
During year Of his tour heput up with aman
by the name ofKcasel, who had long wished for
an opportunity to get the old fellow TO write his
cpitaph. Accordingly a bargain was struck
The Indian, with all the warincss Of his tribe,
stipulated that after he got bis supper he should
give one-half the epitaph, and the rest after he
got his breakfast in the morning. Accordingly,
after supper he repeated the first instalment,
which read thus:
" There was a man who died Of late
For whom angels did impatient wait,
With outstretchcd arms and wings oflove,
To waft him to the realms above"
Old Koasel was in ecstasics. lie could think of
nothing but his epitaph, lie was almost willing
to die for the sake of having such beautiful verses
inscribed upon his tomb. AIl night his visions
were Of the angelic being who was destined to
carry him to the regions Of eternal felicity. In
the morning he called in his neighbors to hear
his beautiful cpitaph, but the poet proceeded 10
get ready for starting. apparently having forgot
ten all about his promise. Hewas about mount
ing his pony. when reminded it. After little
reflection he significd his ability 10 finish his
task; but, as the friends Of his host had not
heard The first part, he said he would repea: it
as preliminary to the last:
"There was a man who died of late,
FoIwhom angels did inpatient wait,
With outstretche,l arms and wings Of love,
To walt him to the realms above;
But while disputing bout the prize
Still hovcring round the lower skies
In slipped old Satan like weasel,
And down below he kicked poor Keasell'

TALE OF AN ELEPHANT.-Tcll my grand
children, said the late Right Rev. Daniel
Wilson, writing home from India, than an
elephant here had disease in his eyes, For
three days he had been completely blind.
His owner, an engineer officer, asked my
dear DIR. Webb if he could do anything to
relieve the poor animal Tie DIR. said he
would try nitrate of silver, which was
remedy commonly applied to similar dis
eases in the human eye. The huge animal
was ordered TO lie down, and at first, on the
application of the remedy, raised most
extraordinary roar at the acute pain which it
occasioned. The effect, however, was Won
derful. The eye was, in a manner, restored,
and the animal could partially see. The
next day, when he was brought, and heard
the doctors voice, he laid down of himself,
placed his enormous head on one side, curled
up his trunk, drew in his breath just ike
man about TO endure an operation, gave a
sigh Of relief when it was over, and then, by
trunk and gestures, evidently wished to ex-
press his gratitude. What sagacity. What

Personal Appearance OF Literary
EeODIc.

A correspondent of the Springfield RfpuJH
can gives the following pcn-and-ink sketches Of
prominent literary people:
Emerson looks like ruined farmer mcdita-
tive and quiet Longftllow like good-naturcd
beefeaicr Holmes like a rcady-to-laugh little
body wishing only to be ''as funny as he can. -
Everett seems only the graceful gentleman, who
has been handsome; Beccher, a ruddy, roll
licking boy. Whittier the most retiring Of Qua
kcrs and thus might name others. Not one
Of these gentlemen can be called handsome un-
less we except Becchcr, who might be a deal
handsomcr. Mrs. Sigourney, the grandmother
of American "female" literature, in her prime
&c we may believe her portrait was quite hand
some Katherine Bccchcr is homcly; Mrs. Bee
cher Stowe, ordinary in looks that she has
been taken for Mrs. Stoves ''Bddy." Mrs. T.
F. Eliot looks like a washcrwoman. Margaret
Fuller was plain. Charlotte Cushman has face
as marked as Daniel Webstcr's. and quite as
strong; so has Elizabeth Blackwell. Harriet
lIoSmcr looks like man. Mrs. Oakcs Smith is
considered handsome Mrs. Julia Ward Howe
has been a New York belle. Francis S. 0sgoOd
had lovely. womanly face. Amelia F. Welby
was almost beautiful Sarah j. Hale, in her
young days, quite, unless her picture fibs. The
Davidson sisters, as well as their gifted mother,
possessed beauty. Ifwecross the ocean, We find
Madam Dc Stael was a fright but Hannah More
washandsomc; Elizabeth Fry glorious; Letitia
1anglon pretty; Mrs. Iemans, wondrously
lovely Mary Hewitt, fair and matronly; Mrs
Norton, rcgally beautiful Elizabeth Barrett
Browning in physique, is angular; and though
she has magnificent eyes, her .Jace is suggestive
ola tombstone, Charlotte Bronte has look in
her eyes better than all beauty offeatures. But
if we look at British men of frst-class craniums
Shakespeare and Milton were handsome. Dr.
johnson was a monster of ugliness; so were
Goldsmith and Pope. Addison was tolcrably
handsome; and Coleridgc, Shelley, Byron Moore,
Campbell. Burns, all were uncoinmonly so. Sir
Walter Scottlookcd very ordinary, in spite Of his
fine head. Macaulay is homely; Bulwer, nearly
hidcous, although dandy. Charles Dickens is
called handsome, but, covered with jewclry he
can but lock Ike simplcton.
