THE ROYAL INTERESTING LECTURE ON THE BRITISH FLAG.

How Ancient Heralds Worked--Some Cur-

fous Origins of Coats-of-Arms---Engiish | } the

Seotch, Irish and Welch Banners.

The following is tha substanca of a lecture on the British Royal Arms de- tivered recently in Belfast by the Rev. J. W. McCaughan:

Mr. Mc@€aughan at the outst spoke of heraldry as the shorthand of history, and roterred to the aspects people used to take

of it The herald had a long program me, and heraldry means the rules for the

guidance of the heralds Heraldry to us means armoury, and armoury is merely the blazzons on the shields The word blazun means to blew a trumpet when a contest took place, and then announced the names and arms ot those who entered the lists. We to-day cannot understand the necessity of this blazing. knights wore, when fighting, complete armour, so that their faces were completely hid- den, and you could not teil che one from the other. It was essential that there should be some marks whereby they might be known to their friends, and the herald’s duty was to announce to all present the distinctive marks borne by the respective combatants. This blazon in heraldry originated in necessity. It Was necessary that the knights should have marks in order that their friends should know them. Its precursor was a necessity in battle. When men fought or marched in great companies it was necessary that the leader should have rome mark to be known from afar. In battle also it was necessary to bave marks to be easily seen and recognized in the fight. Go back to the time of the Israel- ites, and you find the beginning of these designations. Kach tribe had a standard, and a figure on that standard. These that belonged to Judah crowded round the lion of Judah, the symbol of our Lord, the lion of the tribe of Judah ‘The tribe of Ephraim bozve a ballock on their standard, and when God would speak to Fphraim He teils them that they were as b cks'iding bullocks. Not enly do we find this in the bible, but when we come to profane history. Heraldry found its origin in the necessity of distinguishing between different emblems, where there were inany commanders, who had varied emblems. The first Kngiish king who claimed the right cf granting coats of- armns Wes Richard I], and heraldry in his reigu was in its palmy days, and may be for tie first time called a science. Every coat cf-arms has some meaning,and some cause for its existences, and brings home something to the bearer and the wearer. Bare arms were used first, then they usel to beon the banners, but when they painted them on the shields, those nobles who wore them were said to bear arms. Then they began to wear silk coats and their lady loves embroidered their arms on their coats and this coat, with i s emblems, was called the “coat- of-arms,’' a phrate we still retain, al- though the necessity for the coat has long since disappeared. The heralds, when beralcry came to attract attention, were anxious to prove that heraldry came from

Adam, and that Adan wore the first coat-of arms. And as Adam was a gardener, his cout of-arms was green

with a spade upon it, the Eve’s coat-of- arms Was white. Not only this, but they gave to the Old Testatment folk coat-of-

arms Jabal, the father of all that dwell in tenis and have much cattle, bears a white te.t onagreen ground. Jubla,

the father of all such as handle the harp agolien harpona blue shield. Tubal- Cuin the instructor of every artificer in brass and iron, nad for his coat of-arms a sliver hammer on a black escutcheon. dese. jal aeeat ef many colors, and dis cvst-of-arms was like a chess board, and the hearlas explain this as emblem- istic of the lights and shades of his life; thus down through ali the heroes of the vid Testament and the middle ages to Wiiliam the Conqueror, who had two lions on a red field for his cont-of-arms. We may generally consider that no coats- f-arms existed before the 12th century. All those that are said to have existed be- iong tothe armsof attribution. Then there are atms of allusions—that is to say, that the picture referred to was an actual representation of some incident in the career of the family. I could relate many incidents to you concerning these arms of aliusion, which refer not«nly to some

event in the carecr of the family, but often also to the name itself. The old hsralds used to take a man’s name and

see if there was any bird, fish, or beast whose name sounded lika it, and if so to pnt the bird or beast as the coat of-arms forsucha name. ‘There are arms which are called ‘“‘debased arms,’’ because the blazoning of them has not been done ac- cording tothe rules of heraldry. ‘hen, again, there are arms of alliance When a@ man married an heiress the emblazoned ber arms on hia shie!d, not because she puts her arms around him, but becauce bis own arms are done away with, and he takes herarms and loses his. The present arms of the Kari of Shrewsbury, a golden lion on a red ground, surround- ed by an indented border, were the arms of Gwendolina Ap-Griffith, a Welsh

princess, whom Gilbert Talobt married about the middle ofthe 13th century. ‘There are arms of succession, which de-

scend to the heir-at law, but nevertheless frequent difficulties arose, because the second son often: claimed the father’s arms, and the heralds had to interfere t» settle the dispnite There are arms cf ecncession—that is, arms Lestov.ed by the Kinz for some deed of valor. For ex- ample, the Red Hand of Ulster At the conquest of Ireland the conqueror said that he weuld give the whole of U!ster ta him who first touched the soil, and one of the O’ Neill’s was rowing in a boat, but there was another boat before sim, and O'Neill cut off his hand and threw it onto the shore, and so touched the sail first. Ever after the Red Hand has been the taronial arms of Ulster, The Duke of Wellington destroyed the power of France, and he was allowed the honor, never be- fore given to any subject of wearing the Union Jack upon his coat-of arms. Robert Bruce was allowed to wear a spear on his coat of arnsasa record of his valorous deed. There are arms of office, which were given to persons in office, but in the olden time some were in office so long that they retained the arme, and they became hereditary. There are arms of conimunities, such as the arms of our city of Belfast, the arms of Ulster, the arms of Ireland. The last and ninth head are arms of dominion—that is, the arms of aking. All kings have arms, and some Republicans are inclined to sneer at them, but they have arms them- selves. You have your own coat-of-arms, and it has frequently changed since arms were first borne by KEnglish royalty. ‘Take off the ce ter shield of this coat-of- arms and you have the arms of the House

The Stuart dynasty comm ane- ‘d with James VI of Scotland and I. of dngland, and continued on until the death of William III. ‘nis was the first coat-of arms of the United Kingdom, be- cause the three countries were then <irst represented on jit. Our Queen’s coat-of- arms is the same as the ene you see, if you takes away tee center shield, and it has in the corners three golden lions, and only difference is the three yellow things are left out. When a coat of arms is cut that way it is said to be quartered, and it can be quarter quartered again,

and you can subdivide these quarters again, and thus goon fora lengthened time. When the Countess of Townsend

was married her coat of-arms had sixteen guar'e ings, and was thus divided into 16 squares, Another iad 334 squares. Now, with reference to she above coat-of- arms, you will find to begin with in this corner thrse fleur-de-lis of gold—these yellow things are thearms of France. They were originally intended, it is said, to reprosent the fleur-de-lis, the flower called in this country the flower of Dun- use, and itis a purple flower, and the origin of it in France is said to ba, t':at whon the Franks chose their king, ticy lifted him up on their shields and put one of these flowers in his hand. Others say that when Clovis was crowned King an zazel came down from heaven and_ be- stowed on him a beautifai blue garment covered with fleur-de-lis, and that this garment was the origin of the arms of France. liow came the arms of France int» the arms of England? In this way, there was one of our Kings who claimed to be King of France. Edward IIL was the son of Kdward If, and Queen Ara- bella, the daughter ofthe King of France, When the throne becams vacant it was a grandson who claimed the crown, and the King of England said he was a nephew of the late King, and, therefore he had a cioser claim than a grandson, and he claimed the Crown of Franc). He fought and gained a battle at Sleus, land im- inediately quartered the arms of France on his arms, and thus the lilies of France came to be on the arms of England. The second squares has three lions. These are threo lions that are in our Queen’s arms. The ground is red, and here painted on the red you see three golden lions, rather peculiar looking animals. ‘They were formerly called leopards, and recently called lions. ‘Three lions were used te Genote strength and sovereignty, The licns are apparently running—that is they are ‘‘lions courant’’—that is, they are ready to defend themselves if neces- sary, and the idea is activity. The lion at rest occupies a very different position. They are put in this position to manifest the activity of the English race. They are in the position of guardians looking straight out. They are watching lest the enemy should take them by surprise; and the idea is that the English were noted for courage and for activity. Therefore they are walking for activity, and they are looking out for watchfulness. You notice that the two sides are the same. England occupies two squares, the pute of honour. The other two squares are occupied by the arms of Scotland and Ire- land. Scotland is represented by a lion in a different position from that of the English coat-of arms. The Scottish lion is called a ‘‘lion rampart,’’ and the idea is that the lion is active, not still. If you look at the English lion and then at the Seottiish lion. you will notice that the Scottish lion is still more active, and the jidca is that the scottish lion is emblem- atic of that desire of liberty and mainten- ance of right which characterized the Scots and the part they played in war. They adopted red as their emb!em; it is the red lion, the lion of war. The Scot- tsh lion is surrounded by a border of god, and the idea accounting for the emblem is that it stands for the fleur-de- lis, and that the privilege was given to the Scottish king by the French king, Chalrlemagne,asa pledge that the Frencli lily should protect the scottish lion, and thus we find the French arms of Scot- land. Having enlarged upon this portion of the lecture, Mr. McCaughan referred to the harp, the most interesting, he said, of all quarters of the English Royal Standard ireland had a coat-of-arms long before cither England or Scotland. They found that they were worn by Jubal Ireland, in history known as the land ef the saints, First, there is the cross of St. George, of England, and when James united the two countries, the second cross the cross of St. Andrew was placed on it. Then, when the union was consummat- ed, the cross of St. Patrick was placed on the other two. Ruskin says that we could not do better than study these terms of chivalry,for there was nothing cna shield that did not mean something good and great. Even our own arms tell us we should ever be watching and worxing, that we should ever be circumspect about things national, like the lion of Scotiand, and ever strive after what is faithful and true, and amid the din of watching and working know that the music of the harp sings sweet, melodious and constant. In conclusion, the lecturer said they did not want their quarters changed in the Royal Standard; they did not want ths eroas of St. Parrick eliminated from the Union Jack: they wanted to remeia part and parcel of the one great uni‘ed reaiin, that had carried its arn_s tothe utinost ends of the earth. He would have them remem- ber that they were all members of one great kingdom, of one great empire.

‘The lecture was listened to with great attention and was frecuently apptauded.

ENTERTAINMENT AT MOUNT STEWARY.

Notwithstanding the severe cold and impassible condition of the roads on the night of Monday, l7th iast,a large and intelligent audience assembled im Mount Stewart hall to see and hear the different parts of the programme prepared by the Debating and Literary Society. In speak- ing of the different parts it might suffice to say that they all merited and received ample applause. The address by the Rev. Mr. Craise was a master-piece ot English. His ideas were certainly the re- sult of careful thought, and he forcibly impressed upon the audience, in clear and simple terms, the benefits of a debating society, and-the necessity of having a read- ing room in connection. The recitation by Mivs Blanche Coffin and the solos by Miss Daisy Cowan, Messrs. William Me- Donald, David McDonald ard A. A. McDonald were worthy of =pecial com- mendation, The duet by the Litde girls— Lalia McLeod and Vin'e Pushie, as also the dramatic ability displayed in the act

BONSHAW NOTHS.

S1r,-—Speculation is rife here as to the identity of “Mesa” who writes “The Drive to Bonshaw” in late issues of the Patriot. The peculiarly turgid style aud pointed personalities, together with the fact that his political frenzy does not manifest ut self until he cros-es the line dividing the Second from the First Districts of Queens suggests the portly ‘Bannerman’ of the Liberal party in this District. As nearly as we can guage public opinion, ‘the hon- or- are easy’ between our friend above mentioned and a peregrinating individual who at this season of the year, finding time

hang heavily on his hand, devotes his spare time to literature. Be the writer

who be may, he possesses a vivid imagin ation and is a rigid economist in the mat ter of truth. ‘“Bonshaw is not the bright lively place it was thirty years ago.” No “Mesa,” the old Bonshaw Inn is gone and the lively times that then made our village famous, or infamous, are happily gone, too. i can imagine your Mesa- nthrepic soul agonizing over the change, anJ the tears of regret blinding your eyes to the fact that two new and haodsome churches bear the best evidences of Bon- shaw’s morality and prosperity.

But, alas, “we jack the smell of fresh

paint.” Can “Mesa” be a stranger to the fact that last autumn, after the

frost came, our Local Government strove to cover with a coat of paint the ravages which twenty years of time had made upon our Courthouse, and about the only thing noticeable after the job was finished was “ihe smelj.”

True, the Old Tannery has disappeared and the genial and well-remembered own er has been dead many years, but in his son, James A. Robertson, Esqg., we have a bright, energetic man whose mercantile business, we are pleased to say, is a stead- ily growing one.

Tbat “the Croshy Mills are old still and grind the corn and saw the lumber in the good old way of twenty years ago” is not correct. For probably fifty or sixty years Mr. A.C. Crosby did the milling for this section of country, and bis sons are doing it to-day, but not as it was done twenty years ago. Enterprising and awake, ihey have constantly been subst'tuting new and improved machinery for theol!, and are doing as good work in their line as can be done in the Province. The large bu-iness done by them is all the evidence needed to substantiate this statemeut.

Now, “Mesa,” a closing word of advice. You szy vou intend going down the West River. Keep clear of the ice; there are dangerous places, and you know you are liable to ‘put vour foot in it.’
