VESSELS MEETING Al SEA.-The American rules
At present are When two ships on opposite tacks
are likely to meet, the ship on the port tack shall
keep of and when one Is going free and the other
on the wind, the ship that Is going free must pass
astern Of the other. In England, when two vessels
are likely TO foul both shall port their helms, and
that a steamer shall always give way for a sailing
vessel. These are the principal rules and the
others are based upon them, according to tide, wind
and the vicinity Of the land.

BYRox's CLuBBED Foor-The late Lord Byron's
boot lasts, about nine inches IN length, narrow, high
1t the instep, and generally OF symmetrical shape,
have been presented to a society in Nottingham,
Eng. His l~UriShip's shoemaker says the bard had
not a club foot, rs it is generally stated, but that il
was formed the same as the other, except being ex-
actly an inch shorter. The malformation was in the
ankle, which was very weak consequently, the
foot turned outwards. To remedy this, his lordship
wore a very thin boot, tightly laced, under his stock
ing. In his early life he wore an iron with a joint
NJ the ankle, which passed down the outside OF his
leg, and was fastened to the sole of his shoe. The
calf of that leg was much smaller. 1t was the left
leg. (Signed) William Swift %(cobbier.)
MODEL MANNER or SETTLING \ LARGE EsTArE.-I
Seth Thomas, of Plymouth Hollow, Conn, left at the
time of his decease, eighteen months ago, property
worth from $500 600 to 5000 0O and six children,
who were his heirs. There was no will. and the
estate descended in the legal manner to the children
equally. They consulted no lawyers, began no scram-
bic. but mutually agreed upon two judic;Ous men,
and employed them to divide the property into six
portions as nearly equal III value as could be. This
done, the portions were put ut auction among them,
each buying a portion, and the premiums again were
equally divided. In this way the lawyers got 10 fees,
the community no scandal, the peace of the family
circle was preserved, and an END arrived at which
gratihes every pure sentiment.
Honestly EMPLoYED-The London correspondent
of the Manchester GUGriiGH says Lord Lovelace's
son and heir. the grandson TO whom will ultimately
go the bulk of the late Lady Byron's large landed
property, and who now becomes Baron Wentworth by
her death, is ut this moment, | believe, and certainly
has for a considerable time past, been working at
weekly wages as an artisan in the smiths department
Of Woolwich Arsenal. For the son of an earl, and
the heir of a barony by writ, | should call this a
unique case. The fact, however, is perfectly certain.
Lord Loveiace's daughter, to whom passes the late
Lady Byron's large personal property, is al inheri-
trix of much of the rare ability of her mother, Ada,
the only daughter of Lord Byron.

THE FURRY AMONG THE OFFICE HoLDERs.-The
Democracy, and especially the official portion of the
Democracy, in Washington, were never before so
thoroughly overwhelmed with n sense of ruin as at
the present moment and the reflection that the
blow comes from the old Keystone State adds poig-
nancy to despair. In all former defeats there was
still hope of resurrection. But now they sink to
rise no more. The first impulse of the Southern Ill
traists who hold Office here, in this hour of their
calamity, is to threaten dissolution of the Union.
Many of them have threatened TO take up arms in
vindication of Southern rights and honor. But these
ebullitions of passion will soon pass away, and not
one in Il hundred Of them but will be gladto find
rest in Abraham's bosom.
