Our judicial system.

The question Of a constitutional conven-
ton TO amend the old, cumbersome. and
~extravaCant Underwood Constitution is
again being agitated by the Virginia
press. and is worthy of agitation. That
the administration OF Virginia affairs costs
nearly twice as much as in any other
State has been proved by the Official
figures. and is generally conceded, but
the disposition to let well enough alone
has served to prevent the abolition or
amendment Of the State Constitution.
There Is one feature of our office system
that seriously and urgently demands
amendment-the number ana salary or
orr Judges. and. indeed, our entire judi
cial system. Under the present system OF
county courts, many Of the judges receive
such q pitiful salary for their responsible
duties that in many cases the leading law
yers and jurists viii not accept the posi-
ton, and those who cannot live on their
salaries. The whole system should be re-
orgautzcd. or judges should be assigned 10
several counties. instead Of to one. as
now. As a matter Of fact. there are few
Of our county judges who could not 90
twice as much work. and who would be
willing 70 do so If the compensation were
commensurate with the increased duties.
Even If the salary expenses of judges can
not be reduced. the positions VIII he made
sufficiently profitable to be desirable TO
the ablest members Of the bar. and judge
ships viii not 80 begging. as they DO
now. in some cases.
But, by reorganizing the entire system,
we can both cconomiZe In cost and in
crease the efficiency OF our judicial sys-
| tenn In all It's branches. There will natu-
rally be some opposition from office
holders and their friends, but the interests
OF the public are first TO be considered.

WHAT A GENERAL WAS AFRAID OF
lie Was Never Able to Overcome an
Aversion TO Cats.

Absence OF fear does not always indi-
cate the best sort ~ss6sHcaSe. People are
born with nervous breads. constitutional
antipathies, and weaknesses, which take
different forms.
one man cannot bear the rafting or
tearing Of paper. Another starts and
changes color when addressed suddenly.
and | once knew a peerless gentleman
who feared and avoided dogs.
Cats. l am told. flied the brilliant and
able Gen. Greene, Of Revolutionary fame,
with an aversion which he was never able
TO overcome; indeed, the feeling was so
strong that If he did not Juit the neigh
borhood Of the animals. nausea and faint
ness overcame him. Even when out OF
his range Of vision, # near enough. he
was always painfully sensible OF their
presence.
This id~iosyDcracy was known ana re-
spected at Mt. Vernon. where he was a
frequent and hOnOred guest, and where
cats abounded, for Lady Washington was
devoted to them. Numbers OF these pets
followed her about. purred upon her
hearths, and stretched themselves upon
her pantry shelves. where they lay among
the tall jars Of preserves, intent upon
mice. But whenever General Greene was
expected they were one and all collected
and carefully locked up. Upon one oc-
casion, however. he arrived after having
given scanter notice than ordinarily. ana
the pussies were hidden away In a hurry.
He was sitting deep In talk with the
mistress of Mt. Vernon. when, all OF n
sudden, he faltered, and lost his place
in the conversation, and finally exclaimed
in great agitation: Il beg your pardon,
Madam. but there is a cat in this room"
His hostess assured rim that every sim
gle pet had been secured and carried OH
before his entrance, but, upon his insist
ing firmly, though respectfully. that he
was not mistaken, she rose and looked
about-in vain. Just then the General,
with a thousand apologies and n face as
white as chalk, retired precipitately from
the room. And, sure enough. further
search revealed a plump tabby doing
away under a lounge. whose deep valance
had saved her from the Punishment de-
creed TO her fellows. and thus the hero
fled for the first time from an unseen
enemy. and was routed by a-cat.

The Shirt Makers.

We have with this year brought from
New York city one OF the most ex-
pert and artistic SHIRT CUTTERS in
this country, and do not hesitate to say
that no house in the business can turn
out a more perfect Shirt in fit. work
manship, or material. We want every
man who appreciates fine as we'll as
good-fitting Shirts to call on us, as we are
aiming for the best, and shall compete
with the best houses in New York, and at
much less cost.
There may have been a time when we
were not prepared to claim SO much for
our Shirts. but with the change in our
cutters we can substantiate all we say.
We also make Underwear, Drawers,
Paiamas, Collars, and Cuffs, and shall
make a specially Of Ladies' Shirts and
Waists to order.

a good corset, they say. should last as
long as n gown.
For stout-well. fat women-the cor
settlers have devised a new comfort.
Instead Of the Irritating whalebone ends
that renders sitting down a torture. a
wide rubber band outlines the lower edge
Of the stay. THIS retains the shape, but
yields with every movement.
For women whose fulness reveals
through the bodice the exact line where
the corset ends. n pointed bust has been
fashioned. This effects its end In an al
mirablc amer.
II costs from seven TO twenty-five dol
lars to have a corset made. but such stays
last for years, always retaining their
shape. therefore it is the best economy
in the end.
