How nay;Orioinated

The custom of shaving the beard
was enforced by Alexander of Mace
don, not for the sake of fashion. but
for practical eud. He knew that
the soldiers Of the Indus, when tboy
encountered their foes had the habit
of grasping them by tho beard, and
SO he ordered his soldiers TO shave.
Aftcrward shaving was practiced
the Macedonian army, and thon
among Greek citizens. Tho Ro-
mans initiated tho Greeks in prac
lice, az they did in many other
things, and spread it 10 the differ
ent European nations yet barbaric.
In the Middle Ages, at the time OF
the Renaissance, it was introduced
and tho habit was retained though
classlcism gave place to romauticisn,
aud then in Its turn was replaced by
realism. The beard was source Of
trouble to Peter the Great, who sim
ultaneously with the introduction OF
his great reforms in Russia, tried to
induce tho people to initiate the
shaving nations. This innovation
was resisted by his subjects with
the utmost persistence, aud they
preferred to pay heavy fine rather
than suffer distigument, as they be-
licve, Of tie image of God 70 the
Russians of olden times the beard
was a symbol of liberty. In severa
countries of Western Europe aud il
the United States the beard was re.
stored to honor only about twenty
years ago, but even yet n maiorit,
of men respect the custom introduc
ed by Alexander the Great.

Federal vs.. State Authority.

DANy1LLE, Feb. 2S.-The Grand Jury 10
the u. s. District Cocrt yesterday, in obe6i
suce to Judge Rives' instructions, have brought
10 indictments against the following State
judges: Samuel q. Mullins, County Judges
of Henry county; Samuel j. Staples, OF Pat
rick; w. q. Bernard, of franklin; Thomas I.
Bouldiu, of Charlotte, and j. D. Coles, OF
Pittsylvania, which are ell the judges 10 this
district, except two. who have the selection of
juries. The charges against these judges is o
failure to place ooored men on juries in their
respective courts.
Three Of the indicted Judges arc here and
have already held an informal caucus as to what
course they propose to pursue They regard
this action of Judge Rives ss arbitrary, out.
rsgeous aud outside. Of all law. but have come
to no definite conclusion as to what to do
Governor Holiday and members OF the Leeis.
lsture have been notified Of the action hero
yesterday.
Great excitement exists and knots of excited
persons arc standing 90 every street coroer
eagerly discussing the developments. Judge
RiVes is pretty freely condmDed, and his con.
duct is characterized as feeble attempt to
awaken race preiudices, make political capital
and save the waning fortuces OF a dying party.
A largo number of lawyers from adjoining
counties are here 10 attendance upon Court
They are Ct different shades of political opinion.
but the general verdict among them is that
Rives has transcended his authority and step
ped outside the pale of the law.
