RKrUALLsTS IN ENGLAND,

The Rituslists 10 Eagaud, notvith-
standing the recent adverse decision Of
the Pdvy Council, seem inclined to con-
tinue their usual custGGs in the celebra-
lion OF divine service. Lighte1 candles
were placed on the communion table at
St. AIbanis ChuTsh on Christmas day,
and the preacher, though asserting that
g grievous wrong had been 62ne, said
that the decision had not mErred their
sacred Joy, and that this was the hsppi-
est Christmes they had ever spent, OF
should spend TaeiF aim, he said, was
not to obtain power, nor TO master the
intelligence Of England, but to win the
hearts OF the people, end this Trey were
doing. Since the wrong tEey had sus-
tanned had become known, they hsa re-
csived the warmest demonstrations of
sympathy, and in hundreds OF Christian
homes s.. Albsns, HolbOrn, had been
remembered this Christmas with love
and prayer.

WOLF ISLAND.

Wolf Island, or Island Ne. 5, In the
Mississippi river, is the subject of rival
claims by the States Of Kentucky and
Missouri. In 1858, Missouri fled bill
in the United States Supreme Court, as
serling that the two States mentioned
re bounded by the mGin channel CT the
Mississippi, and that Wolf Island lies on
the Missouri side. Hence the Court wss
asked TO ascertain and establish the right
ful boundaries of the two States, to quiet
the title OF Missouri, and to eDjoin Ken
lucky from the exercise of authority or
Jurisdiction ia tine premises. On the
other hand, the answer OF Kentucky as
seEts that Wolf Island lies opposite to

among others, that In 1851, q resident on
the Island was elected 10 the Kentucky

RAIL FENCES

Rail fences are objected to on the
ground Of WastefUlness and expense. A
Georgia newspaper estimates that there
are ct lesst 500 600 miles of fencing in
the State OF Georgia. The nun Der OF
rails required for fence for one mile is
about 5000 and for sli the Georgia fences,
4 500, coo, 900. The value OF these, taking
into account the worth OF the tim Der,
the splitting, hauling aud putting up, is
about $500 per miie-amounting in tie
aggregate 70 the sum OF SIS, 600 0J0. The
average duration OF these fences is about
seven years. Ine annual interest on the
investment, ct twenty per Cent, allow
ing thirteen per cent. for decay, is S5,-
600 600. Il is urged that herding stock
would be cheaper than the use OF fences.

Shortly before Lineoln wss inaugurated
President ia 1851, an artist proceeded to
his house IN Springfield, H., and with
his consent took q cast of his head aud
hand, for the purpose OF recurring hand
some pie by nrAkiug as many duplicates
as might be required by his patriotic ad-
mirers. Mr.. Volk, the artist In ques-
toe, was soon besieged By certain ladies

New York, he discovered that some
shTeEd Yankee had manufactured the
articles by the hundred, and that they
were exhibited in the BrosdWay stores,
where they we're Tspidly sold for four
dollars each. There was q slight differ
ence between the bust Voik cast and

latter from prosecution for infringement
Of his right hut the difference was

From n too lax Interpretation of the laws per-
tanning to the Consular Office, abuses have grown
up without number until they became usage, and
are too often quoted by ship masters as precedents
by which they have allowed themselves to be
guided. 1t is rarely that it can be claimed that
n ship master is so wrong-headed that he abuses
his men ~willfnlly, in order to show his power.
Abuse is too often caused by a misunderstanding
which the exercise of a little patience and for
bcarance would soon do away with. 1t Is just
here that the Consul is called upon to exercise his
authority, and where, as guardian of the seamen,
he comes in contact with the master. If the
Consul desires ease and comfort, he will often
slight the complaints of seamen and, although
an injustice NAV be done, the sailor, as a general
thing having no one to stand forth as a champion
and clamor for his rights, the Consul escapes
censure but let him seemingly slight the master,
and champions stand forth ON every corner ready
to do battle for their client. So take it all in all,
the Consular office is no sinecure. So far the
present incumbent of the United States Consulate
in this city has given evidence of possessing to a
large degree the qualifications which led to his
selection for the responsible situation which he
holds. Although ship masters complain about
his decisions in some cases, we have yet to hear
the first one charge that he is actuated by any
other desire than to perform his duties in an
honest, conscientious manner, and no doubt the
experience of this, the first season of the Consul,
and a longer acquaintance on the part of ship
masters, will result in removing in a measure the
little differences which now exist.

Jan Hour in ~ ConsuIatc.

The busiest place we have seen for many u day
is the United States Consulate. The whaling
feet coming upon us as it did this season, inside
of twenty days, has taxed the Consul and his staff
to their utmost capacity. Eight days after arri-
val in port the crews have to be paid off, and then
ensucs a scene worthy of the pen of a Dickens,
or some other mastcr-delineator of character. No
sooner is a crew paid off than some shipping mas
ter, as middle man for the agent OF master of n
whaleship, is using all the persuasive power at
his control to secure some mate or boat-steerer
who has earned and won u reputation rs u supe-
rior craftsman.
A lull Of a few moments is broken by the ap-
pearance of one of Uncle Abe's {" web-feet, -
who doffs his hat, and with n pull at his forelock
and the scnpe of the foot introduces himself as
an abused seaman, enters his complaint, orally,
or produces n document more or less formidable
as to length, signed in the manner which desig-
mates it as n "round robin Complaints are
set apart as night work 80 the seaman is told
that the Consulate will be opened at seven that
night for the special purpose of hearing COM
plants.
Next comes a cripple or an invalid who desires
to see the doctor. Perhaps he is really needing
medical treatment, or, as is sometimes the case,
he is what the blue jacket calls " soldering
However, his case must be attended to 30 of he
is sent to the Consular Physician, the result
generally being that he is sent into the hospital
for repairs. Speaking of the hospital reminds us
vi another duty which the Consul is expected to
perform, but which is too often shirked, the in
spection Of the accommodations prepared for sick
or destitute seamen. We are happy to say that
the present incumbent of the Consular Office gives
this his personal attention.
Thus the Consul's round of duties comes on day
after day. and sometimes lasting into the night.
during the shipping seasons. spring and fall. 1t
would be useless to deny that causes of disagree
ment do not sometimes arise now between sea-
men and the Consul, and then again between the
masters and officers and the Consul. This must
be the case where the Consul is impartial in the
discharge of his duties. Reforms are being siren
uously pressed upon the attention of Consuls and
commercial agents of the United States, which
will ultimately result to the advantage Of all con-
cerned in the commercial marine of America.
