In the fourteenth eentur-y Thomas Blanked was a manufacturer and introducer, if not the inventor, of the useful article that bears hi's.name. The clot trade alas divided into many branclies,-ch having its own guild, but the chief and' representative of these was that of the merchant tailors, which survived until the present century, and its hall, with a handsomely carved doorway, America, with France and Spain, and other -still-remalas. AsBristol-was Rorie of. the countries of the Old World. Still left thus 'Staple_ToWThS, where's woolen goods.. -could be sold to foreigners, and the duties thereon precious to the crown, the Mayor of Bristol being also Mayor of the Staple, and respons- ible fon tire collection of this tax; it was enacted-` in the reign of Edward iii. that the Mayor should first have served as.one of the four aldermen eledted by the weave�'rs to supervise their craft. This shows the close connection between the guild of weavers and the government of the city, as well as the importance of the -office of Mayor, and the care taken to have none but a duly qualified person elected to that office. The annual swearing in of the Mayor was a most 'interesting and imposing formality, and there is A CURIOUS DRAWING illustrating the ceremony on -an old MS. book in the possession of the corporation, known as " The Mayor's Kalendar. " It represents the Guildhall hung with blue cloth, and em- blazoned on the windows are the arms of the city, of England in the reign of Henry VI ; and the cross of St. George. The old Mayor hands the Bible to his successor, while the town cleric, below, reads him the oath. The sword -bearer is there, with the mayor's state sword and cap of office ; the aldermen and other officers stand round the table on which are inhstatd and pen -case, a bag of money and -a leather case for the Bible. The var- ious gowns aregorgeous with color and trim- med with rich fur. The duties of the Mayor were very numerous, including the supervis- ion of the various crafts, 'auditing the ac• count of the charities, and attending the var- ious churches in state on the days of their respective saints. He had to regulate the prices of ale and fuel, and all this in addi- tion to holding a daily court of justice.— [Harper's Magazine for February. THE BOLD BUCCANEERS. are many memorials of old days, and in the centre of the city much remains to suggest to us its appearance in 1497, the year of the first voyage from England fa the New World, the voyage that first opened the American continent to European knowledge, and one that was follow- ed in the next year by the discovery of the United States coast from Maine to Virginia. Not long before this time the learned and painstaking William Worcester, a native of Bristol, had amused his leisure, oe his return to his native city, by pacing up and down its streets, and taking note of the number of steps or paces each street con- tained in length and width. His rough note- bookisstill extant, and in ito he has jotted t clown many little pieces of information, from which we can build up a picture of the as- pect of the city in his day, that is to say, in 1480, Let us stand at this corner, in the heart of the ancient city, where four ways meet, and the High Cross stood. The arrangement irresistibly reminds us of Chester and other Roman cities, and although history is silent as to Bristol having been a Roman town, it is possible that the similarity is more than an accidental coincidence. We find our analogy in the liberties and privileges of Bristol, for these correspond with the rights accorded to Ron -{an towns, and recognized even by the grasping Saxon, who, as a rule, thought no tax too heavy to impose on com- merce. All these privileges were the birth- right of the Bristol citizen. Among them was the right to impose toils on goods BOUGHT BY FOREIGNERS, who were further restricted from staying in the city for more than forty days, and from selling anything except through a Bristol broker. At one period it was the seat of a mint, a distinction only conferred on im- portant places. The freedom of Coventry was purchased, according to the beautiful old legend, by the splendid devotion of Godiva ; but Bristol could claim from time immemorial to be toll-free, and subject to no lord but the king. From successive monarchs, it purchased charters granting it ever more extended rights, and when impecunious kings had no more privileges to sell, they raised money by imposing a fine, by way of a " benevolence " of £500, on account of the costliness of the citizens' dress ; " and every man worth £200 to pay 20s., because men's wives went so sumptu- ously apparelled." Thia was in 1490, and it is notable that in 1486, 46 only four years F ars before, the merchants of Bristol had bitter- ly to the same monarch, the newly crowned Henry VII., of the losses they had sustain- ed and the damage to their trade by the long and fierce Wars of the Roses. It is a remarkable instance of the marvellous el- asticity of the city's resources, and of the profits made by the renewed trade, that during these four years not only had dis- tress given way to ostentation, but all the streets had been newly paved, each man being responsible for the portion which lay before his own house, The " backs " and quays along the river had been put in repair at great expense some years previously. Two peculiarities are noted about Bristol sheets : no coaches or wheeled -carriages or carts were used in them; but only sledges, probably owing to the existence of very ex- tensive ceilarage beneath them : and the city was remarkable for its system of under- ground drainage, in which respect it was far in advance of most towns of that day. The four chief streets led from the central point above spoken of to the principal gates of the city, one of which, St. John's Gate, is still standing, and piously supports the tower and spire of the church from which it takes its name. At the intersection of the streets no less than three parish churches, two of which remain, looked down on the High Cross, now, AFTER. MANY VICISSITUDES, carefully preserved in private grounds at some distance from Bristol. Though lost to the city, a reproduction of it adorns the open space by the cathedral, and marks the spot where the original cross was erected after the exigencies of traffic necessitated its removal from the city's central point. Attached to the wall of one of the neighbor- ing churches stood an edifice forming a Sort of exchange for the merchants of Bristol. This was the Tolzey, or Tollsell, and with its successor—for it was rebuilt in 1583— served the same purpose, until superseded in 1740 by the present Exchange. The street leading southward from the High Cross formerly passed under a gate beneath the chancel of St. Nicholas Church, and then crossed the Old Bridge, astructure of singular interest and _ remarkable con- struction. Like London Bridge, it had houses on each side and a chapel in the cen- tre, but in this case the chapel spanned the roadway, and even projected beyond the line of houses, a separate pier being built for it on the eastern or up -river side of the bridge proper. Over the archway by which the road passed under the chapel a tower of FOUR LOFTY STORIES rose to a total height of 108 feet. Tiers houses ever the shops on each side of the road were /our and five stories in height, and were oc- cupied by some of the wealthiest tradesmen in the city. The fronts of the houses rested on the main structure of the bridge; the backs rested on a sort of subsidiary bridge, or rather a wall supported on arches, on each aide of the main bridge, while the partition walls and flooring were carried on beams laid across the intervening space. Nothing, therefore, but these beams and floors separ- ated the shops of the merchants from the current below, and curious accidents result- ed from this singular arrangement.- In the words of au eye -witness, " it has indeed oc- curred that a mast of a vessel came through the kitchen window, and even rose up Through the shop floor, and that the utensils of the cellar were afloat, and that an ox forced his way through the shop window be- hind and fell into the river, and the like." The cellars alluded to were formed in the piers of the bridge, under the roadway. Crossing the bridge and turning to the left, we are in the quarter in which was carried on the manufacture to which the wealth of Bristol was primarily due. Tuck- er Street was the special street of the " tuckers," or cloth -workers, and the great merchant family of Canynges, of whom we sh all have to speak later, had their origin in this street. As they angnired wealth, they began an ;wort their own cloth, and from this they --'narked on a general car- rying trade, sending SHIPS INTO ALL SF. 'i9, from Iceland so the Levant. This may be taken as an =ample of the manner in which many other merchants amassed the wealth a jar of tomato catsup ; from Cousin Sarah, np by herself on the bride( she aristocracy of the begging community that esssbled them to do so much for the one poem made adornsapnt of Their native parishes and tat and groom, fifteen verses in alL t ve in private apartments or houses. A Description of the Old-time Spanish American Merchantmen As a rule, the Spanish-American mer- chantmen were formidable floating castles. They might carry 150 of a crew, with a company or 'two of disciplined soldiers. They mounted many guns of heavy metal. The "musketeers were freely furnished with those bell -mouthed trabucos which belched out bullets by the quarter bushel, and were excessively disagreeable at close quarters ; and they were clothed in cuiras- ses or buff, which would turn a balL The poop and the forecastle were solid forts, and the former was furnished with semicircular galleries, from which the defenders could fire with commanding precision. There were boarding nettings to be diced to the rigging ; and even at the waist, where the sides were the lowest, boarding must have been like scrambling up the side of a house. If we turn, on the other hand, to the light buccaneering craft, it would seem there was no sort of equality. They were- generally schooners or brigantines of small burden, with tall but tapering spars, carrying a tremendous weight of canvas, Their guns were ' necessarily few, though one or two were formidable. The men at the most could not be numerous, although packed away above and below like herrings in a barrel. . Where they excelled was in seamanship and dexterous maneuvering. In certain light winds they had it all their own way. If their Luck was good, the enemy's gun- ners would fire wide of the small and shift- ing mark. Their very audacity often saved them disaster, for at the closest quarters it was impossible to depress the guns so as to do them serious damage. When they did board there was no need to give the watch- word— death or victory. They were fight- ing not only with ropes round their necks, but with thumbscrews and hot gridirons in the more remote prospective. That ac- counts for the animation they threw into the attack, but we confess we are still mystified by the triumphs that crowned thoir audacity. For even the buccaneers never denied the Spanish pluck, and the Spaniards were likewise fighting for exist- ence. Registering' Seamen• The Council of the Shipping Federation in England has just issued a pamphlet ex- plaining the working of their registry and benefit systems, which were instituted to defeat the tyranny of the unions. The for- mation of registry offices Mr seamen was one of the earliest acts of the federation,and after a stubborn resistenee on the part of the union leaders, the object in view was fully achieved. The system has been large- ly developed, and is now ascii with great advantage as a means of checking desertion and of punishing misconduct. Federation tickets are issued to union and non-union men alike, ability and character being the only tests recognized, and the.benefit-book which each registered man receives forms a 'continuous record of his discharges and of his rewards for meritorious conduct at sea. Up to the present time nearly 100,000 of those tickets have been given out, so that when plasters wishto engage crews at the offices of the federation they have an ample choice. In cases of necessity crews are sent on board vessels, bat the council of the federation do not wish to relieve ships' offi- cers from the responsibility of choosing their own men. The benefit fund was estab- lished as an encouragement to loyal service, and only seamen whose ticket shows a good record for six months in a federation ship is admitted to the privileges of the fund while first class Naval Reserve men require no qualification. The council declare that the federation is not opposed to legitimate trade unionism, and characterize as baseless the accusation that they have sought to "smash the union."' The new unionism, was built up, they sty, on a system of coercion and intimidation, but the federation asserted the freedom of contract and protected men who were willing to work. The natural re- sult was the collapse of coercive unions,and therefore, they add, the union whichper- sisted in resorting - to tyrannical methods smashed itself. - The Wedding Presents._ The publishing of long lists of marriage presents is considered by most people in questionable, 'taste, but the following, quoted from an exchange, is unique of its kind : From father and mother of the, onee Jersey calf ; from bride to groom, wreath, made from hair of her entire fam- ily, and also six white shirts ; from Brother Elias, one book of poems, one dream book,tt one polite leer -writer, and a dog ; from Aunt Harriet, six hens and a rooster, also Beautiful Snow. j MINERALS OF ONTARIO• Beautiful, blowy, snowy snow, Why eloshest thou along the gale?

She Had Her Revenge. " Angelina," said Edwin, "there is a little question that I have long been wishing to ask you." " Yes," she said, opening her eyes very wide and pretending complete ignorance, al- though confident that she was fully aware of its purport. • " I wanted to ask you whether I ought to let my moustache grow or not ?" Gulping down her disappointment she said : " I would let it grow if it will grow, but I'm afraid it is like you—undecided what to do." A Great Feature. The Chicago. Exhibition is going to be notable chiefly for its features." These features are characteristic of the people whose celebration it is, a people noted for its inventive genius, and for its singular mixture of iconoclasm with veneration for things sacred and historic. No one cares so much for the relics,of the past as does the American, but his interest generally takes the, form of whittling or plundering them. ' No one sets so much store by rank and title, and yet shows these so little respect. There is no historic shrine that has not been thought of for a feature. The Columbus ship, Shakespeare's house, John Brown's fort, the Libby prison, even the Coliseum, declared by the oracle to be the talisman on whose continuance where it is depends the continuance of the Eternal City, have all been selected as features, and some of them are to be there. In fact, the United,Statea wilthave to do up her Amer-,ican shrine worship this -year, as hencefort some of her centres of pilgrimage will be no more. She will still have Bunker Hill, however, at least we have not yet heard of any adequate scheme for carrying that to the city where it would have no other historic hills to float it. But antiquities are not only Old World notions which Brother Jonathan has been trying to make features of. He has invited the Pope and all religions. The Pope was pleased and will presumably he represented because he loves the United States, He is wise. We have not learned whether the Grand Lama will be represented or not: There are also invited the Czar and all effete tyrants, and Mr. Gladstone and all notice- able men. Among the representatives of monarchy a very urgent invitation has been given to the Prince of Wales. Here is a representative of a sovereign house, who has no definite occupation and whose pro. fession, if he has one, is- attending exhibi- tions. Surely he can be got. If Chicago fails to secure the Prince as a feature,: after presenting him with six invitations . on parchment, each one in a handsome mother- of-pearl case, it will not be because it has not done its best to remove from the com- pliment the appearance of being a fiddler's invitation. Why should the Prince accept ? He was fifty years old last October and somewhat tired of being a feature. He has seen enough of exhibitions to be absolutely unimpressionable on that score though all Chicago should turn itself into show cases and all its environs into side shows <-and features. Of -a1T the ellf'ete monarchies that which he would represent has been the subject of most American spleen and of all the royalties he himself has been the butt of most American jibes. He could look for neither love nor admiration from the masses, who would mob him. Why should he come ? On the other hand, why should he not come. In Chicago he would probably be as safe from An archistor Fenian demonism as in the water- ing places of Europe. Barring uncertainty on that point every reason seems to be favorable to his accepting the invitation, and conquering, as no one better can do, by his infinite tact ani graciousness, the good will of a nation nursed in hatred for its mother country. Great Britain has almost no reciprocal dislike for the United States, and values her friendship above that of all other peoples, and no one better than the Prince could convey this message from the mother to the daughter. The American people would thoroughly appreciate the cordiality that would thus be manifested. In the relations of nations almost the great- est good that could come to mankind in the present day would be a complete entente' between Great Britain and the United States. Both would gain incalculably from nearer relations, and the world would gain enormously, for, with these two peoples, fully at one, there would be a latent power to impose peace on earth which would be so thoroughly recognized that it would sel- dom, if ever, need to be exerted. ` assist digestion, cure headache and biliousness.
