lCHiEF JUSTICE CHASE IN RALEIGH.
is Washington telegram says:
Information has been received here
of an unpleasant difficulty between
Chief Justice Chase and the bar Of
Raleigh, North Carolina. The Chief
Justice states that he was shown what
purported to be a protest drawn up,
and signed by many Of the leading
members of the bar. On the opening
of the court he addressed the mem-
bers of the bar present stating that
the court had seen the protest, and
considered it contempt, and that the
clerk would be ordered to serve upon
each member of tho bar who signed
it, and rule to show cause why they
should not be ailenccd until they
purged themselves of the contempt.
This caused much confusion among
the lawyers, and they left the court
to confer as to the course proper for
them. The calendar was then called,
and the lawyers whose names were in
the protest were not allowed to ap.
pear in their cases.

A NOVEL BENEFIT SOCIETY,

A NOVEL BENEFIT SUCIETY,
orrather a novel feature in one, came to my
notice day or two since. In addition to the
ordinary features-such as the payment Of
burial expenses and of a certain amount to
any member when sick, it is proposed to hire
a physician for the whole society, who for a
small annual fee shall attend all its members
when sick. Next to the Chinese plan of pay
ing your doctor so long as you are well, and
cutting off his emoluments when he allows
you to become sick, this seems the most eco.
nomical way. 1t should be added that this
plan does not include the families of mem
bers, so that the physician has large open
ing for practice outside of the society.

Science Advances.

AS soon rs an article purporting to be Of
utility has been tested, and its merit endors-
ed by public opinion, unprincipled parties
erftleavor to replenish their depleted purses
by counterfCiting, and substituting a spuri-
GUS for the genuine article. Some time since
mercury, in the disguise of pills, powders
&C., was given for all diseases of the stom-
ach and liver, while quinine was freely adj
ministered for the chills. At length HOS
LETTERS STOMACH BITTERS made its
advent, and an entire new system of heal
ing was inaugurated. The beneficial effects
of this valuable preparation were at once
acknowledged, and mineral poisons suffered
to sink into that obscurity to which an en-
lightened age hiss consigned them. There
have been many spurious Bitters palmed
upon the community, which, after trial,
have been found perfectly worthless, while
HOSTETTER'S has proved a blessing to
thousands, who owe to it their restoration
to health.
For many years we have watched the
steady progress of HOSTETTER'S STOM-
ACH BITTERS in public estimation, and
its benificent effects as a cure for all COM
plants arising from the stomach Of NOR
bid nature, and we are free to say that it can
be relied upon as certain relief and reme-
dy. Its proprietors have made the above
preparation, after years of careful study and
sitting, and are now reaping the reward
claimed by this valuable specific, and which
they so richly merit. 1t is the only prepar-
alton of the kind that is reliable in all cases.
and it therefore demands the attention of the
afflicted.

A NeaU York Tribune EDITOR Advises gse WO-
men 10 Walk the Streets attired as Pdges.

The public are sick of trails, and 50
they are of Bloomers. Either costume
tends to discourage all attempt to reform.
1t Is just beginning to be understood that
utility is of much more Importance than
fashion Still the people win never be
deprived of beauty of symmetry, and nm
til proper regard is had for these no
dress reform viii ever be successful. 10
say that the body is of little consequence
compared with the soul, and that silks
and hounces make one neither better nor
worse, is all very well; yet the fact that
men AMI women viii admire the gay and
worship the beautiful cannot be overlook
ed. 1t is true that as we advance In the
intellectual scale the desire for outward
show diminishes, but human nature Is as
boundless as the universe, and for every
Emerson there are a thousand Flora Nc
Flimseys. The custom of wearing cloth
ing suspended from the Waist is radically
wrong. 1t was not until the dawn OF
modern civilization that men themselves
adopted their present garb. Even the
blindest can not fail to see that it is the
only one which permits perfect devel-
Opment of the human form. Had God
intended that woman should dress In the
present costume He would surely have
created her In another image than that OF
man. 1t is natural for her to select gay
colors and put on gimp and lace, but this
has nothing to do with the style in which
the garments are cut.
Man has considered woman an inferior
being, and he has educated her according
l.. rF Sla
the same as are the walls of Turkey, and
the stripes of Sing Sing. Were all wo-
men to put ON pantaloons tomorrow, they
would not only be just as virtuous, as
modest and as beautiful as now, but could
walk the streets as beings attired for work
whether it be in the nursery, or In the
hospital.
When God created the birds he plumed
them with feathers, male and female, and
the fishes he clothed with scales. Who
ever heard of a tigress having wool like
a sheep or hair like an OK? Yet no one
has seen stage girl attired in pages
suit, but he did not admire his dress. A
similar costume might be adopted by our
young women that would be tar more be-
coming than the one worn at present.
ne garments couIu pe cut altei any ue
sired pattern, so that the fundamental
principles be observed. About the only
good thing the stage has given us is now
and then decent female costume. Uni
versal suffrage is the only remedy for the
present evil. Fifty years experience with
the ballot will abolish petticoats and cor
sets forever. RALPH MEEKER.

Editor Clarion: In late issue of your
paper the committee who was instructed to
negotiate for the purchase of Pearl River
Bridge published as their opinion that it was
impossible, at this time and under the sur
rounding circumstances, to accomplish the
object in view, and have invited the views of
those whe may devise some plan by which
the bridge may become free, which would
not only render general improvement in
business but would also reduce the price of
articles which are considered an actual
living necessity.
In the absence of Legislature to create
special tax, fully concur with the views
entertained by said committee, viz: that it
would be utterly impossible to succeed in
the negotiation at this time, but beg leave
to dissent from the opinion, that the imposi-
tion of such a tax would willingly be ac-
eepted by the community when by far the
largest profit derived from it goes into the
pockets of our merchants. 1t is, therefore,
believe, for the latter, who are more directly
interested and who number from 90 to IS, to
take the matter In hand and to raise q sub
scription for which said bridge could be
rented for one year with the privilege of a
number OF: years, to which the owners Of
the bridge win have no serious objection, as
they could, under such arrangement, be
amply secured for the faithful execution of
the contract. Let an unembarrassed trade
with the people of other counties be once in
augurated, and our citizens viii then readily
subject themselves to bear another tax. In
the meantime, let the committee take the
bovesuggestion under consideration, and
communicate with the present owners Of the
bridge, and In the attainment of the object
they shall be supported by
A MERCHANT.
