The Supreme Court.

The justices of the supreme court
are not to be blamed if they are vain,
says Washington correspondent.
All day long they sit upon the grand-
est throne in the United States, sur
rounded by more show of Difference
and honor than even the president
receives, with theatrical curtains of
crimson silk draped behind them and
a great gold eagle over their heads,
with page boys at their elbow, vener-
able lawyers bowing before them,
velvet carpets to hush the fall of feet
upon the court room floor, negro
doorkeepers watching over noiseless
doors, q dim religious light in the
semi-circular room, and a never ceas-
ing throng of awed citizens of this
and other lands reverentially staring
them out of ofcountenance. The Lybian
lion at a circus excites very little
more veneration and awe from the
spectators. l should think that the
justices must feel sometimes how like
wild beasts on exhibition they are.
Perhaps they don't think of it at all,
for one grows accustomed in time to
anything, even to being O supreme
court Judge.
