Yankee Decision.

Sometime between the years of 1910
and 1912, when considerable animosity
existed between the people of Canada
and the States, and some Of the British
subjects, who were dressed with little
brief authority" looked upon Yankees as
but little better than the brute, the fol-
lowing is said to have taken place at the
Custom House, at ST. Johns:
A Yankee of considerable dimensions
entered the Office and informed the officer
that he wanted to enter his load and re-
ceive his passport. The officer cast a sar-
castle look at him, and said ait was GUS
tomary for people when they entered his
office to receive passport TO take off their
hats, and requested him to do so instant
ly."
No, | thank you," said the Yankee,
"I paid four dollars for that hat to keep
my head and ears warm"
" You impertinent puppy" said tbe
officer, working himself into consider
able Of a passion, chow dare you to in
suit me of with your hat Immediately r.
No sir, can't do it, it keeps my head
warm"
After several orders of similar kind,
accompanied with curses and threats,
which met with no better success, he step
ped up to him and gave his hat blow
that sent it to the adjacent corner of the
room. The Yankee paid no attention to
this, but waited patiently until be had re-
ceived passport, folded and deposited il
safely within his wallet, and was ready
to pursue his journey, when turning to
the officer, he requested him to pick up
his hat and put it on his head.
The officer ordered him to leave the Of
flee, or he might get into trouble for he
did not make words with man of his
description.
Isay, mister" says the Yankee, "you
must pick up my hat, and that in just
one minutes time, or feel the weighs of
these mauls,' shaking his fist rather
nearer the officers face than was agree
able.
The officer raved and swore but all to
no effect, and finally threatened to cane
him if he did not depart.
Mister" said the Yankee, " time flies
considerable kinder fast" at the same
time beginning to unbutton his coat, sand
you had better be going after that hat"
After several more threats, which had
the desired effect upon his opponent, the
moment being nearly expired, he streaked
off and picked up the hat and offered it
to its owner, but he was not satisfied with
that, and ordered him 10 put it on his
head precisely as he found it.
The officer hesitated, but seeing the
determination of the Yankee, he set it up
on his head and was about to depart,
when he was collared and ordered 10 place
the hat rs he found it,.
"Here," says the Yankee, "tuck this
ear under, now tho other, pull it down in
front, etc." all Of which orders the officer
reluctantly fulfilled.
:" There, sir, that is right" says the
Yankee, "and now, friend, before leave
you l will give you word of good ad-
vice; never meddle with Yankees hat
unless you are prepared to take peep in
10 futuIity. Good day, sir"

GEN. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES from the
Southwest states that the rumor about
Gen. Beaureeard resuming his command
is entirely without foundation. All the
secessionists in the vicinity, as well as the
prisoners made by our troops, agree in
saying that General Beauregard's career
as General is ended, and that the sol.
diers have lost confidence in his military
talents. They accuse him of having lost,
by want Of ability, the advantages of his
position at Manassas and at Pittsburg
Landing, and of having let fly an enemy
which it was very easy for him to ami
hilate. His retreat from Corinth is also
looked upon as movement which has
completely demoralized the great army of
the West-one of the first in the Con.
federacy-and hastened the time of its
dissolution. That army is now gone, and
its fragments can be found nowhere
Gen. Beauregard is said TO be now at Eu-
fala Springs, spending his time in ponder
ing over the inconsistency of public opin-
ion, and regretting, perhaps, inwardly Of
having raised guilty hand against the
country to which he owes his life and his
position.

Two WAYS TO AVOID THE DRAFT.-
Among those exempt from draft under all
orders sent out, are paupers and convicts.
A man may become pauper and get a
ticket TO the Poor House, or he may steal
sheep and 90 TO State Prison. Either
course would exempt him from draft, and
man who would seek exemption would
resort TO either.

AS the terrible sentence was pronoupc-

As the terrible sentence was pronounc-
ed, rage aud despair overwhelmed the
wretched woman, and a scene of horror
ensued, unimaginable. She threw her
self upon the floor with piercing screams.
The executioner seized her, and dragged
her struggling and shrieking into the
courtyard, her garments were torn from
her back, aud the lash cut its way merci-
lessly into the quivering nerves. The hot
irons simmcred upon her recoiling flesh.
Then, mangled and half dead, she was
conveyed to the prison hospital. After
nine months of captivity, she was permit
ted to escape, aud she died in England.
No one now doubts that Marie Antoi-
nette was entirely innocent. Whether the
cardinal was an accomplice is question
which can never be decided. But the oc-
currence threw reproach upon the unhap-
py queen, which hastened the overthrow
of the throne of the Bourbons, and con-
Quoted her TO the guillotine.
