whrise s:~ra,led the Car.

a few days ago a street car of the
Lynchburg line was flying down Park Ave
nue. in the direction of City Park at a
rapid rate when a countryman hailed it
in a vigorous manner. The conductor at
once applied the brake with might and
main. but the car had shot ahead some
distance before he was able to bring it to
a dead standstill. There was a number of
persons On the car at the time and every
one including the conductor and the
motornan turned to see the courtryman
make his way to a seat He took his time
about it and walked leisurely along the
avenue until he was abreast with the car,
when instead of climbing on the platform
ne walked around in front of the motor
man and looking innocently up into his
face. quietly asked Mister, do you want
to buy any butter?" So completely abash-
Cd was the street car man that he did not
have time to get mad and only replied in
15mb-like tone OF voice: mo, don't want
any butter and with that he turned on
his current and went on his way rejecting

Evidences begin to appear of what a.

are being fitted out. The newspaper cor
RESPONDENTS are now telegraphing from

do not at once commence the march 10

the fate of the foreign ministers. This
means that a campaign of newspaper war
fare is 10 be opened upon the troops in
China to compel them to move towards
Pckin when the newspaper correspond
ents think the operations should com
mence rather than when the military
commanders think it should begin. This
always happens in such cases and it never
fails to do harm.
All old Confederates recollect the state
of disorganization of the Federal army
after the battle of Bull Run, and
when Mcclellan was put in command OF
it That able soldier at once addressed
himself to the task of organizing and dis
ciplining his troops to make them iii for
the duties of soldiers but all of US recol-
lect how the newspaper correspondents
badgered and harred him in their efforts
to make him move before his army was in
any condition to move. Mcclellan had
the firmness to hold out against the news
papers and the consequence was that when
his army met the Confederate army in the
terrible seven days battles around Rich
! mond, it was fitting army. and it gave
the Confederate Army out, or rather seven
of the most desperate tusses the world
has ever known. Had Mcclellan moved
according to newspaper tactics, his army
would have been wiped off the face of the
earth.
This should be borne in mind now The
officers commanding the soldiers in China
are far the best judges OF when and how
the forces there should be moved. It is d
small matter that some Of them are
giving their brother officers elaborate din
ners, with military bands playing operatic
airs The very officers who give them en-
tertainments are likely to give the best pos
sible account of themselves upon the field
of battle, and il they can afford hand
some dinners, We see no reason why they
should be denied them. Their lot is to
be a hard one and they should be conceded
whatever enjoyment they can get out Of it,

Judge Mullen thinks that reforms can be
made in our judiciary system which will
result in both economy and a more efficient
service. He would give to cities. of suffi-
Glen: size to entitie them thereto, the courts
frhich they now have, with the same juris-
diction that these courts now respectively
enjoy, with a Commemorative attorney
for each city and a clerk FOR each court
and he thinks that in some OF the cities
the Office of Commemorative attorney and
City attorney might be combined. lie
would then divide the counties and the re-
naming cities into districts, or circuits
will, court and a clerk thereto for each
county and city, and a Judge and attorney
for the Commonwealth for each district or
circuit He would give to these courts the
jurisdiction now conferred upon both the
county and circuit courts, with perhaps
some notifications. In the formation Of
these districts, or circuits. he thinks that
they should =be of such size and compact
ness as to enable the judge to hold a
monthly term in each county and city for
the trial of criminals confined in jail, for
the disposal OF matters pertaining 70 gov
eminent of county and matters OF probate,
and for the hearing Of cllancery causes
and common law actions and motions not
requiring tho intervention OF a jury There
should also he thinks, be quarterly terms
a. which all matters within the jurisdic-
ton OF the court could be heard and de-
termnei But he is very clear that it
would be penny-wise and pound foolish 10
impair our court system for the purpose of
saving a little money. lie says that fire.
quens courts are essential to the good Or
der OF society and the convenience of Iiti-
giants. and adds that a lack Of a sufficient
number Of courts, and for ttme for the
Judges TO hear arguments and properly
consider their opinions, are serious defects
in the judiciary system OF Norm Carolina.

part on the Confederate side, bereit Of his
