A gentleman who has made study Of
the eye, says for the benefit of the people
who have to earn livelihood with the
pen: "Never write on white paper if
you can get yellow paper. A sheet or
card of the same shade placed on the
wall over the desk will assist in giving
the eye rest, and thus will facilitate the
work." He has made this suggestion to

counsel in suit involving two mil.
lions OF bonds authorized by the Leg
islature TO be issued TO the A. I. D.

Judge Fewie himself had no direct
communication with the plaintiff in
the suit. His impression was that a
contract had been made by parties
represented by the plaintiff to pur
chase the bonds from the company
at . stipulated price, the company
broke the contract, and the suit wac
instituted in consequence OF such
breach Of faith.
The suit was brought in June, 1869,
and restraining order forbidding
that the bonds should be issued was
then obtained. In September the
suit was compromised at the ms ance

received as his fee, and Col. johnson
received them fos the railroad com

more than Mrs. Polk. though she
has FIVE children. Mrs. Tyler alone

cedent now settled and fixed, that
the widows Of Presidents are to be
pensioned by the Congress?
Now comes the proposition at the
last Of the first century Of our ex-
istence under the constitution, to
pension the widow Of a Judge Of the
supreme Court. Mrs. Wait is
wealthy and does not need it; but if
allowed to her, whv not to the wild
ows of all United States Judges?
A very pertinent question may be
asked right here--why should these
women be pensioned at all? What
have they ever done for the govern
ment?
But if a civil Pension list is to be
settled by the Federal Government,
why not by the State Of North Ca
rolina? Why not pension the wild
ows of our Governors, Judges, and
other officers? Where will the list
ever stop?
A civil pension list is one of the
worst curses Of European monar-
chies withi's aristocracy. One in
stance may illustrate -each baby
born who happens to be q grand
child Of Victoria, costs the British
Government more than one Presi-
dent. A civil pension List is a most
dangerous innovation in our Re
public. It is time to call q halt on
