| To the Editor Of The AHeghantan:
| DEAR Sir: In the issue of your paper of
| to-day, it is stated, that, at Democratic
meeting held at ST. Augustine on the 18th
inst, ia speaking of the Conscription act, l
used the following language sit is uncon-
stitutional and he was really to stand up with
one and all at home to oppose il to the bitter
end"
! have become somewhat accustomed 10
pthe mean Misrepresentation of ignorant or
prejudiced newspaper correspondents, and
have learned as general rule, TO treat them
iwith Indifference from that rule in
this instance l feel myself constrained TO
depart. Upon that occasioas in referring to
the Conscription act, spoke follows: Il
sincerely believe that act to be unconstitu-
tionai, but it is :he solemn duty of every
man to obey it until 1T is pronounced by
the Supreme Court If that tribunal decides
it to be constitutional it is not only the duty
of every 10 obey it when fairly drafted,
but it becomes his duty, when required by
the proper officer, to assist in its enforce
ment; if the Court decides il to be unconsti-
tutional, it then becomes TIE right of every
| man TO resist it, and to resist it to the bitter
end.
have never believed in ':ths higher law
doetrine,-never thought and never said that
a citizen possessed the right to forcibly resist
the execution of law, enacted by legitimate
authority, until the same has been repeaied,
or pronounced unconstitutional by the proper
judicial tribunal.
Your sense of justice will induce you to
publish the foregoing statement

Japanese Ladies.

The Japanese ladies dress we'll and ex-
pensively, with indeed truly Oriental
luxury. If the men clothe themselves,
as in China, India, and Persia, in stuffs
of silk and gold, the ladies are not
behind them in the costliness of their
grapes, their mouslins, their silks and
satins, and the richness of their en-
broidery. Taste and wealth are alike
marked by the number, variety, and cost
illness OF a lady's dresses. No tissues
wove in Europe approach in delicacy of
material the light gossamer materials worn
by Japanese ladies in summer. Their
dresses are supported by Il simple waist
band, which is tied behind by the unmar-
ried, and before by the welded ladies'
The sleeves are of great dimensions, and,
in some instances, fall to the ground
They also wear many dresses, at the same
time but the toilet is not, on that ac-
count, tedious affair, as with US. They
can get into them, however numerous,
all at once. They dress and undress, with
equal ease and rapidity. The waistband
is loosened, their sleeves are allowed to
fall, the dress or dresses follow, and all is
done. These wristbands are richly work
ed with gold and silver, or decorated with
precious stones. The length of the robe
behind determines the rank of the wearer.
Rich or poor, every women had her fan
and all classes go with their head uncov-
cred, except in winter, when they wear a
kind of white lined silk bonnet. Men
and women alike use parasols, generally
borne by pages.

The Arabs 8 Gift.

A poor Arab was travelling in the des-
ert when he met with spring of clear,
sweet, sparkling water. Accustomed as
he was to brackish wells, to his simple
mind it appeared that such water as this
was worthy of monarch; and, filing his
lcathern bottle from the spring, he de-
termined to go and present it to the Ca
liph himself.
The poor man travelled considerable
distance before he reached the presence
of his sovereign, and laid his humble Of
fering at his feet. The Caiiph did not
despise the little gift brought to him with
SO much trouble He ordered that some
Of the water be poured into cup, drank
it, thanked the Arab with a smile, and
ordered him to be presented with a re-
ward.
The courtiers around pressed forward,
eager to taste of the wonderful water, but
to the surprise of all, the Caliph forbade
them to touch even single drop.
After the poor Arab had quilted the
royal presence with light and joyful
heart, the Caliph turned to his courtiers,
and thus explained the motives of his
conduct.
"During the travels of the Arab,'' said
he, "the water in this earthern bottle had
become impure and distasteful. But was
an Offering Of love, and as such [ have
received it with pleasure But [ we'll
knew that if l suffered another to par
take of it he would not have concealed
his disgust; and therefore, | forbade you
to touch the draught lest the heart of the
poor man should have been wounded.

A Knotty Text.

There was once an itinerant preacher in
"West Tennessee" who, possessing con-
siderable natural eloquence, had gradual
ly become possessed of the idea that he
was also an extraordinary biblical schol-
ar. Under this delusiou, be would very
frequently, at the close of his sermons,
ask any member of his congregation who
might have "knotty text" to unravel, to
speak it, and he would explain it at once,
however much it might have troubled
"less distinguished divines." On one oc-
casion, in large audience, he was partic-
ularly pressing for some one to PROFOUND
a text, but no one presuming to do SO, he
was about to sit down without an opportu-
nifty of showing "his learning" when
chap "back by the door" announced he
had Bible matter of great "concern"
which he desired to be enlightened upon.
The preacher, quite animated, professed
his willingness and ability, and the con-
greg"tion was in great excitement
"What l want to know" said the outsi-
der, "is whether Jobs turkey was a hen
or gobbler?" The "expounder" looked
confused, and the congregation Uttered,
as the questioner capped the climax by
exclaiming, in loud voice, "I fotched
him down on the first question p From
that time forward the practice of asking
for difficult passages" was abandoned.

ARTEMUs WARD IN CANADA.

I'm at present existin' under a rnonikal
form of government. In other words Pm
travclin' among the crowned heds OF Can
ady. They ar'nt pretty bad people. On
the cont'ry; they air exceedin' good peo-
pie.
Troo, they air deprived of many bles-
sins. They don't enjoy, for instans, the
priceless boon of a war. They haven't
any American Egil to onchain, and they
hain't got Fourth of July to their
backs.
Altho' it is monikal form of gov ment,
I am enable to perceive much moniky.-
I tried to get peace in Toronto but fail
ed to succeed.
Mrs. Victoria, who is Queen of Eng
land, and has all the luxuries of the mar
ket, includin game in its season, don't
bother herself much about Canady, but
lets her do bout as she's mighter. She
however, gin'rally keeps ner supplied
with lord, who's called gov'ner Gin
raj. Sometimes the politicians of Canady
make it lively for this lord-for Canady
has politicians, and | expect they don't
differ from our politicians, some of 'em
bein' gifted and talented liars; no doubt.
The present Gov'ne of Canady is Lord
Monk. I saw him review some volun,
teers at Montreal. He was accompanied
= by some other lords and dukes and gener.
ais and those sort of things He rode O
little bay horse, aud his close wasn't any
better than mine. You'll always notiss,
by the way, that the higher up in the
world man is, the less good harness he
puts on. Hence Gin'ral Halock walks
the streets in plain citizens dress, while
the second lieutenant of volunteer regi.
ment piles all the brass things he can find
onto his back, and drags forty pound
sword after him.
Monk has been in the lord bisniss
some time and I understand it pays. tho
I don't know what lords wages is
The wages of sin is death and postage
stamps, But this has nothin to do with
the Monk.
One of Lord Monks daughters rode
with him on the field She had golden
hair, kind, good face, and wore a red
hat. I should like her pay me and my
family visit at Baldinsville. Come ano
bring your knittin', Miss Monk. Mrs
Ward win do the fair thing by you. She

a Delicate Legal Touch.

Not very far from Central New Jersey
lived two young lawyers, Archy Brown
and Tom Hall. Both were fond OF drop
ping in at Mr. Smiths of an evening, and
spending an hour or two with his only
daughter Mary. One evening when
Brown and Miss Mary had discussed al
most every topic, Brown suddenly, and
with his sweetest tones, struck out as fol-
lows:
"Do you think, Mary, you could leave
your father and mother, your pleasant
home here, with all its ease and comforts,
and go to the Far West with a young
lawyer, who has but little besides his pro-
fession to depend upon, and with him find
out new home, which it should be your
joint duty to beautify and make delight
full like this ?"
Dropping her head softly on his shoul-
der she answered, 81 think I could, Ar
chy." .-.
"Well," said he in changed tone, and
straig htening himself up, f'There's Tom
Hall is going West, and wants to get a
wife. TIL just mention it to him."

WHY MEN REMAIN SINGLE.-At the
confines between an upper class and a
lower there is naturally scramble. All
men of education, nowadays, wish pro-
perly to be regarded as "gentlemen,"
though they may not be in possession of
"fair estates' or valuable "prospects. -
If they are married, they, or at any rate
their wives, wish their daughters to rank
as ladies', and this condition, unfortunate
ly, is thought incompatible with incomes
below a certain amount. Marriage,
therefore, is rendered difficult on both
sides at once. Mothers are exacting,
while suitors are poor. The father of
family cannot transmit the whole of his
savings to each of bis sons, whereas the
mother of a family desires nothing less
than this fortune for each of her daugh-
ters, AS natural consequence, young
man hesitates before he attempts to make
a bargain which he knows will be a hard
one, when he can scarcely afford to make
any at all.

The History of Crowns.

Crowns were originally sacred only to
the gods. First, there was the little band
or bandelet, that fitted tight round the
heads of the ancient gods; then two
strings, or 6llets; then leaves and branch
es and flowers; and finally the conven-
tional crown or circlet, much as we have
it at the present day. But soon the en-
blem of the divinities was transferred to
men, and victors and statesmen and law
givers and kings and heroes of all sorts,
even to we'll developed athlete, were
duly crowned, until at last the proudest
of the rulers adopted the rayed or spiked
crown, which was the last form held pc
culiar by the gods. This was in those
days Of degeneracy, when kings, preten-
ding to be gods, forgot to be men.
With the Jews, the original crown was
pointed like horns-horns being the EN-
blcms of power and prowess with them
and the first mention made of a crown in
the Bible is when the Amalekites bring
Saups crown to David. According to a
rabbinical tradition, Nimrod-Kenaz, the
hunter King-was the first to imagine
crown, and the first to be crowned. One
day, as he was abroad hunting, he looked
up to the sky and saw the figure of
crown in the heavens. He called to a
craftsman and bade him copy the pattern
the crown remaining long enough to
enable him to do so; and ever afterwards
he wore that crown in obedience to the
will of Heaven, and no one could look
upon it without blindness.
POPE Gregory the Seventh, used to say,
sneeringly, in allusion to this story, that
the priesthood came direct from God, but
imperial power, crowned from Nimrod.
The entire" of the Church is only the
old. Jewish HOMEGROWN, in its turn copied
from the Egyptian; while the Pope's tia
ra is the same nitro tri ply crowned, to
mark him high priest, judge and supreme
legislator of the Christian world. So was
the king of old time ever a two-fold per-
sonage-high priest and chief magistrate
