THB MILITARY BILL.
This evening Adjutant- General Pos.
ties and Major Macallister. from Will
mington, made an earnest effort in be.
half Of the military bill. Mr.. Postles
spoke first and explained the bill as
amended, and endeavored to remove
any wrong impression which had been
raised in the minds Of the mem bers.
Major Macallister appealed to his audi
tors upon the ground that the proba-
bilities of the future may create circum.
stances which will render an efficient
militia system in our State nothing
short of physical necessity. The
gentlemen were listened to attentively
and the attention secured might be
looked upon as favorable omen ~ to
the final action upon the bill.

titles of one quart or less, and tax of
SIS on all persons selling in greater

1t provides further that no liquor

Facts OF a most curious kind are on record
concerning the court-cards or honors in
| France, during the eventfuI series of years
when King, Republic and Emperor took the
lead III turn. In effacing the signs and en-
blemS of royalty at the commencement of
the Revolution, the change did not destroy
the passion for play either in intention or
effect. BY granting freedom of trade to the
card-makerS tthe manufacture having be n
till then a State monopoly, more facilities
for play than ever were afforded. But the
! passion prosecuting royalty extended to bits
Of pasteboard as well as to more important
matters; kings and queens OF all the suits
We're prescribed. The kings were supplanted
by sageS, SavantS, aud mathematical person.
ages; the queen had to make room for ladies'
emblematical Of freedom Of marriage. of
worship, OF the press and OF cOmmerce; while
the Wallets or knights were displaced by
Roman herOe warriors and sans cat0ftPs,
according to the taste of the artist. When
the military achievements of the First NapO-
leon had given new turn to the revolution
airy fever, card-playerS evinced liking for
the Old-flshloned cOurt-cards. Napoleon, when
he became Emperor turned his eagle glance
to the pictures on playing cards as well as to
the conquest and annexation of Kingdoms.
The painter David was commissioned to pre-
pare new designs, and during few years
many artistic packs were produced. For
some reason or other, those designs did not
become popular; card players asked for the
old pattern, and their demand was complied
with. The Bourhons, after the fall of Napo-
leon, had little other alteration to make In
the current style of playing cards than SUBJ
sttuting the fear lis Of their house for the
eagle OF the Empire Some attempts have
been made In the France during the last sixty
years to introduce new and more graceful de-
signs, but in vain; the winners of four bv
honors at whist still cling fondly to their dear
old absurdly grotesque picture-cards The
backs are often very beautiful in color and
artistic In design, but king, queen and knave
retain their nondescript character
