New Defaition Of Aristocracy.-There
is often great difficulty in some parts of
the country, especially in election times,
in drawing The line exactly between the
people and the aristocrats. Perhaps the
rule adopted by The North Carolina tav-

subject, and thus lessen The difficulty. 1t
is at all events a very simple rule, aud
easy of application OH all occasions. 1t
is stated in The newspapers. which like
Henry Horn, cant lie," that an innkeper
in North Carolina, OIL being asked what
meaning he attached to the term, "Ar'slo.
