at the seige of Berwick in l405. 1t was
not until l544, however, that they were

Curious Facts From History.

The Saxons first introduced archery in
the time of Voligeur. 1t was dropped
Immediately after the conquest, but reyi-
we'd by the crusaders, they having felt the
effects oft from the Saracens. who prob>
ably derN ed it from the Parthians. Bows
and arrows, as weapons Of war, were in
use with stone cannon ball so late Us 1910.
1t is singular that all the statutes for the
encouragements of archery were framed
after the invention of gunSpowder and
firearms. Yew trees were encouraged
in church yards for the making of bows,
in 1882. Hence their generality in church
yards in England.
Goats of arms came into vogue in the
reign of Richard [, of England and be-
came hereditaryin families about the year
1892. They took their rise from the
knights painting their banners with diff
ferent figures to distinguish them in the
crusades.
The first standing army of modern
times was established by Charles VII, of
France, in I445. Previous to that time
the king had depended upon his mobiles
for contingents in time of war. A stand.
ing army was first established in England
in 1888 by Charles I, but it was declared
illegal, as well as the organization of the
royal guards in 1879. The first perma-
nent military band instituted in England
was the yeomen of the guards, establish
ed in 1856.
Guns we're invented by swartz, Ger
man, about 1878, and were brought into
use by the Venetians in 1882 Cannon

published, You copied also an article from
the New York Journal of Commerce,
which called in question the propriety of
the course of that body in not providing
for reference of the Constitution to the
people, and stated that failure so to do
was, in the judgment ofthe paper, "a man
ifest defect"
Being somewhat acquainted with the
impressions under which the assembly act
ed, I trust l may be pardoned in saying
a word in explanation of their view OF the
matter
The committee in which the bill origi-
mated were of opinion that the assembly
had no power to dictate to the convention
(Which when assembled, would represent
the sovereignty of the people, what course
should be pursued on that or any other
subject. ... -.4t
If the assembly had power to command a
reference of the constitution to the people,
that body certainly had the right to make
other requirements, and thus might have
dictated provisions on any other subject.
There can be no doubt of reference
of the constitution to the people, and that
the objection urged by the Journal of
Commerce will be removed.
