THE CRINoLINE.-l3y reason Of the error
Of the public in supposing that the word
crinoiine is the French term for hoops. We
are induced to explain that there is no
similarity between them, and that crino'inc
is the fashionable material for lady's skirts
skirts, which hoops are not; and they only
ve-vcry imperfectly produ 'e the effect
to the ivpc of the robe by initiating it a Ia bd-
loon, but without the comfort and grace of
the crinoIine'
CIinoljnc is hair cloth. The name is der-
we'd from its smanufactnre, as monsel'ae,
which is called such. the word de lame is
added and, so when vcvcteen, erenadiac
etc.. Grin is the French name for horse
hair. and the addition Of ohae is merely the
name of the peculicr manufacture of it,
Since the great luxury of this kind Of skirt
has become generally known. and the price of
halr-cloth as:alsed proportionly, fine splints
and fihres Of wood have been employed to
mix with horsc-hair in forming the fabric,
but even that stnf'is called crno''ae. because
the imitation does not materially deteIioratc
or change its effect. When bustles were in
fashion, the best of them were made fom
crinoiine; and it is said that the fbrcs, of

The above choice morscl of absurd argu-

the Grand Jury of Washington. IN relation to
the election riots. Coming from a Judge
and delivered in his judicial capacity, this
infamous sentiment is well calculated to arrest
the attention Of all who were born on our

The same doctrine has been preached re

But what should be the measure of punish

Mr.. CONSTABLE IllCNs.-Thc foreign or
gan of this city appears to take particular
delight in referring to the American candI-
date for Governor Of Maryland as . Mr.. Com
SiGtie HcfS." 1t is evident that it considers
it disgrace for man to have ever served in
the capacity of constable :! is equally
as palpablc. that 1t thinks that no man who
has had the misfortune to be once poor, or
10 have been placed in humble life, should
dare to aspire to the honorable position of
Goycrnorship of the Statc-so that the true
grit OF its own party, the common people
who make a livelihood by honest labor, may
sec that if the party were able to carry the
State, they would stand no chance Of prefer
mcnt. 1t would, in the eyes OF that paper,
be disgracelul to put a mechanic however me-
riorious or competent, in the gubcmatoral
chair, whilst professional man. or born as
they say gentleman, can be had for the sit
uatiOn.
The Americans. however, delight to reward
mciit, and to encourage those who are not
born with a" gold spoon to their mouths, V
to cndravour by the cultivation Of their
minds, to qualify themselves for any Office.
General jackson raised himself from humble
life, and Henry Clay was the mil-boy OF
the slasLcs," but according to the foreign Or
gan's logic, these gentlemen should have been
confined to their original occupations, and
not even presumed to aspire, to stations
which would have been occupied by those
born gcntlcman-tha. is, of wealthy parents
alone. But the editors of that print will have
to submit to the sway Of Mr.. Constable

him as they may possibly have occasion for

IMPERIAL FANNY or CHJsA.--Thc rcgnng
Emperor, Hen -Foung, assembled the throne III
the year 1851, at forty-six years Of age Hen
Foung is the seventh Emperor Of the Tartar
Mantchou dynasty, whose chief, Tchoun-Ichi,
was proclaimed in 1914. According to the Chi
nese historians, the organization Of the Celestial
Empire dates from three thousand years before
our Savior. The family of the regning Emperor
is composed of four sons and daughter Inc
elder, Yih-W Wei, heir TO the throne, is now nine
teen years Of age. The young prince is said 10
be wen educated, but he processes, like !, hls
father, a profound hatred for foreigners nc
second son is named Yih- Chun; he is fifteen years
of age The third is Yih-Tchou, and is seven
years Of age The fourth is Yih-Tsung. The
Emperor's daughter, who is said to be an accom-
plished princess, is fifteen years of age. She was
married last year to a nephew of the Emperor,
Prince Ting-Tsin-W Wang, who has the reputation
Of being highly educated. The Emperor has
three brothers, Yung -Trum, Mien-Wang, and
Men-Hin. The latter was degraded during The
preceding reign deprived of all his dignities and
banshed from the Court. He was accused OF
having been affiliated with a secret society for
the purpose Of Selling the crown. Twenty of
his accompces iIr the capital were tortured and
put 10 death, and six hundred in the provinces.
The Ministers Of the Emperor form distinct
category, and possess enormous power. They
are fourteen in number, and are divided into two
distinct classes. The first and most important
are the Cabinet Ministers; they are four IN NUM-
Der. The other ten are charged with the gov
eminent ofthe provinces. They transmit 10 those
at Pekn all documents which interest the En-
peror, and they become in some measure his
masters. II may be easily understood that with
such Ministers the Emperor can know nothing,
and that no fact is ever communicated TO him in
its true light. Ii is thus that the late events at
Canton have been concealed from him or misrep-
resented The hatred he bears TO foreigners is
forcbly excited by his Ministers, who never re-
gard his interests, but their own advantage.
They very well comprehend that if foreign Pow
crs had representatives accredited 10 the Emperor,
they would tell him the truth, and weaken the
influence of the Ministers, The Emperor Of
China, confined to his capital, is the object Of
respect which amounts 20 terror, and is sur
rounded by people with whose character he is
unacquaintcd. He lives in the midst Of serious
events, TO which he is perfect stranger.
