IMPORTANT DEcrsIoN.-A very important de-
cision was made yesterday by his Honor Judge
Bryan, the District Court, sitting in bankruptcy.
The question was whether discharges In bank
ruptcy could be granted unless the assets Of the
bankrupt should pay fifty per cent. OF the debts.
The 33d section Of the Bankrupt act Of 1857
provided, that in cases commenced after one
year from the time the act went into operation,
no discharge should be granted, unless the assets
OF the debtor should pay fifty per centum OF the
claims against his estate unless the assets In writ
ing OF majority In number and value Of the
creditors who had proved should be had
His Honor, Judge Bryan, has decided that the
act OF Congress Of 27th July, 1868, has modified
the act Of 1887 30 that 1t Is not necessary that the
assets should PAY fifty per centum, but that they
should be equalt fifty per centum OF the claims
proved.
This view was presented to the court by Messrs
Slmons L Slmons and Messrs. Memminger, Ier.
vey P1nckney, as the true reading Of the
statutes; and Judge Bryan, after hearing the ar
gument, decided that that construction was right
and granted the discharge.
1t will thus be seen that many debtors who
have been restrained from applying for the bene.
at OF the Bankrupt act since S1st December, 1885,
upon the generally received opinion that dis
charge could not be had unless their assets should
pay fifty per centum OF their debts, can enjoy Its
advantages IL their assets be equal to 6fty per
cent Of their debts.

@ THE WEAR AND TEAR OF BUSI-
NESS LIrE.-The cares and labors Of business
life are apt to tell severely upon the health and
constitution OF the ardent, energetic business
man, and when the need OF some sustaining
agent Is felt, stimulants that cause only tempo
rary exhilaratIon, and leave the system in state
OF partial collapse when their first eject has pass
ed OF, are too often resorted to. AS certainly as
fire leaves behind 1t g residium Of ashes, tse rse
of the adulterated liquors OF commerce produces
premature exhaustion and decay. Touch item
