Boston VS.. Baltimore.

Oliver Wcndell Holmes, in Que Of his
laudations Of Boston as the ''hub of the
universe" says Baltimore is the CASTRO
monte metropolis of the Union-and
adds :" Why don't you put canvass
back duck on the top ofthe Washington
column Why don't you get the lady
off the Battle Monument aud plant a
terrapin in her place Z Why will you
ask for other glories when you have
soft crabs 7 No, Sir,-you live too we'll
to think as hard as we do in Boston.
Logic comes to US with the salt fish of
Cape Ann rhetoric is born OF the beans
OF Beverly; but you--if you open your
mouths to speak, Nature stops them
with Fat oyster, or offers slice of the
breast of your divine bird, aud silenccs
all your aspirations"

Journal asks lis it true that we BALI.
moreans have more stomachic abilities
than brains 2 If it be so, we may be ex.
cused when We point out the many
toothsome seductions Nature has thrown
In the way Of our palates. But we deny
the soft impeachment. OF course
neither we nor any other people can vie
with Boston 10 the God.like gifts and
attributes But we have some brain
here.
After all, canvass backs are a more
savory food than Goldfish, aud terrapins
a Ia Maryiond than Beverly beans.
And as for oYsters-why, there be mo
ments when they are more convincing
than even Boston brains.

An UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAw.-Iu
the case of the State VS.. Ward, doterm.
inedin the Supreme Court Of the United
States the other day, the question of
law involved was, 'has the State right
to require u special license from non.

Justice Clifford, in delivering the
opinion Of tho Court, says
"This court holds that the statue Of
Maryland is violation of that clause Of
the constitution which guarantees to the
citizens of each State the rights, priv.
leges, &c. of citizens in the several
States, and that il is therefore void, but
that it is not violation of the CONNER
