A VENERABLE ENGLIsH JUDGE They
tell capital story of ex- Chief Baron Pollock,
that one who wished him to resign waited On
him, and limited at it, and suggested it, for h is
own sake, entirely with view to the prolong-
alton of his valued lite, and so forth. The
old man rose, and said with his grim dry gray
ity, "Will you dance with me? p The guest
stood aghast as the Lord Chief Baron, who
prdes himself particularly upon his legs, began
to caper about with certain youthike Vivaci
ty. Seeing his visitor standing surprised, he
capered up to him and said "Well, if you
won't dance with me, will you box with me-?
And with that he squared up to him and halt
in jest, half in earnest, fairly boxed him out Of
the room The old Chief Baron had no more
visitors anxiousy inquiring after his health,
and courteous]y suggesting retirement.
The Lord Chief Baron was prone to the
expression of strong general views, which he
conveyed In a manner eminently characteristic,
with an idomatic vigor and originality almost
amusing If said he, on one occasion, every
man was to take advantage Of every occasion
to have the law Of his neighbor, life would not
be long enough for the litigation which would
result. AU flesh and blood aooull be turned
into plaintiffs and DEFENDANTS The reader
must imagine this uttered in slow distinct
deliberate, solemn voice, with considerable
energy and raising Of the tone at the words

NAMEs.-In an article on Prof. Schele d.
yere's Studies in English the Charlottes
vile Chronicle refers to topic slightly touched
IN in the work mentioned Names of Places
and adds:
"With The first settlers of Virginia, amid
the fairest scenes of nature in her prime, with
coast. river, and woodland, expanding around
in all the magnifcence Of novelty and extent,
their loyal and fiIial feelings prevailed over the
nostical taste of that the poetical age of Eng
land, and In place OF the stately and sonorous
indian designation of 'Powhatan, the Father
of Waters as that noble estuary, the Nile of
America, is to us-received the name Of the
reipning monarch and their first permanent
settlement was Old James Town on the river
James.
This inauspicious opening was followed up
through all the succeeding years Of colonial de
pendence, until we have no less than sixteen
nripces and princesses amongst us at this day
IN as many counties called after these royal
personages, beginning with Hensico, one of the
ecpht original shires The next class Of names
are those Of historical note; and how grand
they vet sound in Our ears York, Lancaster,
northumberland, Warwick---all redolent of
sbahspeare and Kapin. Then come the Gov
srnors Of the Old Dominion; each one, pro-
vpcial or State, commemorated by county
two being assigned to Patrick Henry. Happily
most of our rivers have been allowed to retain
their original appellations; and the majestic
Potomac, the Opequon, the RappahanHock,
The four-fold Mat ia, pony, its banks now fa-
nous and forever as our bloodiest battle ground,
the Pamunkey, theAppomattox, immortalized
as giving name to the closing scene Of our woe
tul struggle, and the Roanoke, all rejoice in the
beauty and dignity of their aboriginal appeIa-
tions, hereafter to afford full scope o~the acu-
men of the antiquary and the philologist. -

Hoxs 1NsTITUTIos-ws allude to the dry
goods store Of LEVY BROTHERS. The proprietors
OF this old established store are natives Of this
State, born and raised In the city OF Richmond
Their business talent Is no longer doubted-how
could 1t be I After the close Of the war they be-
gan business in the store occupied for number OF
years by their father, Jacob A. Levy. The store
then was bat forty feet deep. Their business in
creased 80 rapidly that they had the store ex-
tended back to the alley, making 1t one hundred
and ten feet Deep besides having second story Of
the same dimensions. A further increase Of th cir
business necessitates them to make further I'm.
provemens In their store, which they contemplate
doing next spring. Such rapid increase Of trade
WAS never Known before in this community, and
has proved that fair dealing is sure to lead to sue
cess. The increase Of their trade has proved an
advantage to their customers, as they can now
purchase nearly the whole of their stock from
first hands by the package, and large lots In the
auction rooms, where at first they had to pur-
chase by the piece. paying jobber's profit,
which now they give to their customers. We
know that our citizens would be Interested In
hearing OF the success of the old "sonthern Dry
Goods store," as the LEVY BRoTHERs call their
establishment. and could, therefore, not refrain
from bringing the above facts to light.

LOCAL MATTERS.

RADICAL SCHEMES FOR PowER.-The
Radicals are actively engaged in their
efforts to obtain the removal of the present
State officers, and to obtain for the Con.
vention the nomination or election of the
new appointments. Hunnicutt's avowal
yesterday that the Republican party owed
nothing to any State officer, from the
Governor down to the justices of the
peace, was designed as note of warning,
We are reliably informed that a petition
has already been signed by many Radical
members of the Convention asking Con-
gress to give that body the privilege Of
appointing successor to Governor Peir-
point, whose time expires on the 1st OF
January, 1868. +
It is proposed to hold a caucus of lead
ing Radicals on Thursday evening, when
this and other matters of importance to
the Republican party will be fully venti-
lated.
