The condition of the health of tine
widow Of Abraham Lincoln is much improved.
On the llth OF July she took n carriage ride and
has been able to receive callers for several days
past The news of the attempted assassination OF
President Garfield was II great shock TO her, and
for day she was almost prostratcd When the
news was announced She exclaimed: "Oh can Il
be that the President Of this country is no longer
safe from the assassins? Oh, how terrible! Who
did it?' With eyes sutIused with tears she re.
peatedly murmurcd, Poor Mrs. Garfield" and she
retired to her room, remaining there until the next
day. Since then with the aid Of her physicians
friends, aud the hopeful news concerning the con-
dition Of the President, she has rcgalned her
spirits, and is gradually growing stronger though
she Is not free from pain.

-Mr. Justice Miller ON the SituntiOu.
Chief Justice Waite and Mr.. Justice
Miller have Just finished the business Of their cir.
cults in the South and West respectively. The
Chief Justice will spend short time Mt his native
place in Connecticut, and Justice Miller will rec.
reatc at Block Island. The Supreme Court IS
over three years behind on It's calendar Mr. ex-
Justice Strong has published recently an able ar
gumont In favor OF the establishment Of incrmc-
diary courts with appellate jurisdiction. There
has been before Congress for some years bill pro.
vidlng for new courts Of the above character. A
reporter, in conversation with Mr., Justice Miller
in New York inquired of him the probable fate of
this bill.
"The trouble fs" said the Justice, "the bill has
been defeated, or rathornon.actcd upon, on purely
political grounds We need more judges. The
business of tho Supreme Court OF the United States
has grown enormously. II is unwcldy while the
court remains as at present constituted. The close
elections Of recent years have delayed action on
the bill, because both parties have desired to fill
the judgcshps thus to be created. Under the
present state OF things four years is likely TO eapse
before n litigant hears anything concerning his
case after IL is entered on the calendar IL is this
woefil state of business that leads me to think
Congress will rive us the new law, and thus free
us of our burdens. We have worked hard. Since
the adjournment Of court two months ago VIC have
held court on our circuits"
From equally high authority misunderstood the
court iavors an extension of jurisdiction to the
United States courts in the Territories and to the
District of Columbia so that they can dispose Of
business whicb Is now taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States.

foot amputatcd because Of gangrene, 1t is thought

handsome women that have seen by far the

Of form and has reglar features, and yet not

women with good expression. The Princess

is wonderfully young looking She is little

the South woman have very mature age. 1t
is in the first flush of girlhood that one sees the
