,a,ni.,er JohA.on ON women and Bonaet..


The other day at Luton. in Dedfordshire, Mr..
Reverdy johnson made speech at a banquet in
connection with the opening of a new corn ex.
change. In the course OF his speech he said
have seen the men of this town. have also
seen the women. and if may be permitted to ex-
press preference Tor either-I don't mean to say
anything personally offensive TO the gentlemen-I
rather prefer the ladies. 1t is pleasant sight to
see, as have seen to-day, hundreds Of that sex
nicely dressed. evidently. in perfect health, all
manifestly intelligent and happy close at work
supporting themselves and those who may be de-
pendent on them, and ministering to the comforts
and enjoyment of those around them. only wish
for their sskes that the old style Of bonnet was
revived-the bonnet worn when there was nothing
could dwell, and when 1t was not dressed like that
of an Indian squaw.
What those French artists call bonnets are not
boDnets at all they are not even caps; do not
know that nightcap. would be more beautiful,
but certainly IL would be more useful. What can
be more admirable. however, even in the case Of
those small bonnets, than the skill and taste with
which these lady workwomen Of yours turn out
their productions? Why, these articles are gems
of beauty and they make the female face more
lovely-if that be possible-thsn 1t has been made
BY nature You that though far advanced in life
Ihsve not forgotten the tastes of my earlier days.
and only pray that, whenever do 80 in this par.
ticulsr, heaven may be pleased to take me to
another W0rlo.
In smother speech, on the same day, Mr.. John.
son ssid:
My lord, you were kind enough to speak favor
ably Of what l said of my countrymen to-day but
think you have fallen into mistake in one par
ticulsr. understood your lordshp to say that
you in this country had an advantage over US be-
cause lady can be at the head of your State and,
thank God, she is. But don't delude yourself. my
lord, by supposing that we cannot have lady to
rule over Us. have read the Constitution of the
United States more than once, and there nothing
in It that draws any distinction between the sexes
in that particular. know 1t has been said that
occasionally we have had an old woman over us !;
but we have never yet tried the experiment Of
baving young and beautiful woman elected 90
our president. However, In this age Of progress,
when strong minded women are abroad. who can
tell what is going TO happen, nit should happen,
my lord, that we elect beautiful, charming, intel
lectual woman. don't delude yourself by the belief
that we shall not cherish her as much as you cher
lsh your beloved queen. And don't believe either
that our executive authority will not be admins
tered with the same wisdom as that with which
your queen may exercise her authority.

mel, o difficulty occurred between T. vicknair aud
two brothers, Paulin and Joseph Benoit. A per-
