Commissioner. May 1, 1867. fit Dam: or A cunrocs OLD Lama—A very curious old lady died at Southwell, near Nottingham, lately, at the charred age cf 83. Her name was Pigot. and she was an intimate friend of Byron, and was the“ Eliza,” to whom many of his puclns were addressed. She possessed many interesting relics of the poet ; a lock of his hair, the manuscript of " Childe Harold,” and ofsome unpublished poems. 'All these relics she has left to be preserved as heir-looms at Newstead Abbey. now the residence of the Webl-s, and singularly de- fi.:ient in relics of its celebrated former owner. She gave mast particular directions as to her funeral ; certain letters and a small switch giVen her by Byron Were to be placed in her right hand and buried with her; also two penny pieces which had been used to close her mother’s eyelids, and which she had preserved to be used for a similar purpose for her own. More than this; in her escriioire were found the envelopes to contain her funeral cards, all directed in her own hand-writing; and she actually, on finding death near, ordered a piece of beef for luncheon for the attendants at the funeral. For long before her death she was unable to leave her house, while nothing. gratified her more than a ‘ chat with perenns interested in Byron, to whom she would willingly show her relics, and for their benefit recall her reminiscences. Letter-Writing was her great forte, and her letters were much valued by her friends, as they invariably were headed by a rough but well executed sketch of moun- tains or clouds in Indian ink. . 4*‘4 “ IlIGn-FALU'rtN."—We are told that there was a paper in Cincinnati which was very much-given to “ high-t'nlutin ” on the subject of “ this great country,” until u l'lVilI paper somewhat modified its .00ntinual bounce with the l'ollovrin burlesque :-—f‘ This is a glorious country! It has long rivers and more of them. and they are muddier and deeper, and run faster. and rise higher. and make more noise, and fall lower. and do more damage than anybody elsc's rivers. It has more lakes, and they are bigger and deeper, and clearer, and wetter than those of any other country. Our rail-cars are bigger. and run faster. and pitch off the.track oftencr, and kill more peeple than all other rail-cars in every other country. Our steumiboats carry bigger loads, are langer and broader, burst their boilers oltener, and send up their paSsengers higher, and the captains swear harder than steamboat captains in any other country. Our men are bigger, and thicker; can fight harder and fueler, drink more mean whisky. chew more bad tobacco, and Spit more, and spit further than in any ‘oiher country. Our ladies are richer, prettier, dress finer, spend more incriey, break more hvarts, wear bigger hoops, shorter dresses. and kick up the dev'l generally to a greater extent than all other ladies in all other countries. Our children squall louder. grow faster, get too expansive for their pantaloons, and become twenty yr are old so iner by some months than any other children of any other country on the earth.”
