l., not by legitimate descent, but by the
Imperial ediets of 1904 and 1905, which
set aside the usual order of descent, and
fixed the succession in tho line of the
fourth brother of Napoleon, Louis, in

VI passion too untimcly crossed;
Or passion sighted or betrayed
or kindred spirits, early lost,
And buds that blossomcd but to fade

Elastic form and noble brow,
And forms that have all passed away,
And left them what VIC see them now!
And is it thus-is human love

And must youths brightest visions movc
Forever on Times restless wings?
Must oil the eyes that still arc bright,
And MI the lips that talk Of bliss,

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN.-A very important
decision was made on Wednesday, by his
Honor Judge Bryan, in the District Court,
sitting i'll bankruptcy Tho question was
whether discharges in bankruptcy could be
granted, unless the assets of the bapsrupt
should pay fifty per cent Of the debts.
The 33d section Of the Bankrupt Act of
1867 provided, that in eases commenced one
year from the time the Act wont into opera.
ton, no discharge should be granted, un.
less the assets of the debtor should pay
iltty per ccntum Of tho claims against his
estate, unless the assets in writing Of major
ity 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 9th of July, 1868, had modified
the Act of 1867, SO that it is not necessary
that tbs assets should pay fifty Fer ccntum,
but that they should be cqual to Gfty pcr
contum of the claims proved.
This view was presented to the court by
hlessrs. Simons & Sinons, and Mcssrs. Mem.
mlnger, Jeryey & 'inckncy, as the true read
ing OF the stltntcs; and Judge Bryan, after
hearing the argument, decided that that con
struction was right, and granted the dis
charge.
1t will thus be seen that many debtors who
have been restrained from applying for the
benefit of the Bankrupt Act since 31st Dc.
cembcr, 1863, upon the generally received
opinion that discharge could not be had un
less their assets should pay fifty per ccntum
of their debts, can enjoy its advantages if
