Decisions In Abe Legal Tender and
Gold Cases.

WASHINGTON, May There was
Q large number of members of the
bar present at the Supreme Court
chamber, to-day, including Solicitor
General BristOw and Senators Trum-
bull and Cole, as il was known that
the Court would announce the many
opinions prepared during the weeks
recess, previous 70 adjOurning until
the 10th Of October next. Al the
judges were on the bench with the
exception Of Justice Nelson, who is
absent from the city. The Chief JUS
tee retired at about two O'Clock.
None or h opinions were announced
by him. At three o'clock Justice
Clifford read a brief paper In the legal
tender cases Of Knox VS.. Fe, and
Parker vs. Davis, a follows:
In these two cases, two questions
were heretofore directed to be argued,
namely:
First-Is the act Of Congress, known
as the Legal Tender Act, ~constitu-
tional - to contracts made before Its
passageq
Seconds It valid and applicable
to transactions since its passage?
These questions have been consid.
cred by the Court, and both have
been decided in the affirmative. The
decree Of the Supreme Judicial Court
Of Massachusetts,, In the a of Park
er vs.. Davis, is therefore affirmed. and
the Judgment Of the Circuit Court Of
the United States Of the Western Dis
trict Of Texas is also affirmed.
The Chief Justice, with Associate
Justices Nelson, Clifford and Field,
dissent from the majority Of the court
upon both propositions and the result,
holding that the act Of Congress, so
far as applicable to the contracts made
before its passage, is repugnant to the
constitution and void, and also that
Ii is repugnant to the constitution
and void 50 far as applicable to con-
tracts made since its passage. The
opinion Of the Court and the reasons
for the dissent will be read before the
close Of the adjourned term.
In Dunning vs.. Sears and others,
two cases from the Supreme Court OF
Michigan, the contracts were for the
delivery Of q specified weightof gold,
valuable as coined money. The Court
below held that they were discharged
by payment of treasury notes, equiv
alentin market value to the value OF
coined money Of a stipulated weight
Of pure gold. This Court reverses
that judgment, holding that it should
have been entered for coined dollars
and parts of dollars, in accordance
with the decision in Bronson VS..
RhOades, and Butler VS.. Harwitz, :
Wall, 22 and 25S. Justice StrOngde-
livered the opinion.

The failure to get the general ap-
prOpriation bill through the Senate
prior to the 18th instant, rendered it
inexpedient to adjourn sine die ct that
date, and therefore the session was
heightened a week in the hone that
the indispensable portion Of the busi-
ness before the legislature might be
concluded at the latter named date
The friends Of the Morgan Raid
Claims having succeeded by a mere
majority vote, in committee of the
whole, in the House, in incorporating
a provision authorizing the payment
Of a portion Of that claim, it seemed
inevitable that warm and protraeted
contest would Snsue Overthe question
in the Senate, leading possibly to q
deadlock. The Raid Claim requires
= twO-thirds vote Of each House TO
authorize Its payment This vote can
not be had for 1t, and while its advO-
Gates are well aware Of this fact, they
nevertheless are in hope Of getting
the legislature in such apredicament,
with q majority anxious to adjourn,
that they can gain a part Of their OBJ
ject as a compromise.
The Senate has taken three separate

Chilblains and Chapped Hands.

When chilblains manifest themselves,
the best remedy not only for preventing
them ulcerating, but overcoming the ting.
ling, itching pain, and stimulating the
circulation Of the part to healthy action
is sthc liniment of belladonna, two drachms,
the linment of nconitc one drachm, car.
bolic acid, ten drops, to collodion hexile,
ono ounce, painted with a camels hair
pencil over their surface. When the chill
blains vesicate, ulcerate, or slough, it is
better to omit the aconite, and apply the
other components Of the liniment without
IL. The collodion hexile forms a coating
or protecting film, which excludes the air,
whilst the sedative liniments alloy the irri.
tation, generally Of no trivial nature For
chapped hands we advise the free use Of
glycerine and good olive oil in the proper.
ton of two parts Of the former to four Of
the latter after this has been well rubbed
into tho. hands and allowed to remain for
a little time. and the hands subsequently
washed with CASTLE soap and tepid water,
we recommend the belladonna and colo
dion neIile TO be painted, and the protec-
tive film allowed to permanently remain.
These complaints not unfrequently invade
persons Of languid circulation and relaxed
habit, who should bc put on generous
regimen and trestedwith ferruginous tonics
Obstinate cases are occasionally met with,
which no local application will remedy.
until some disordered state OF the system
is removed, or tho general condition of the
patients health improved. Chapped lips
are also benefited by the stimulating form
Of application We advocate, but the aconito
must not be allowed to get on the lips, or

A Lump OF Brown Sugar.

DO you ent brown sugar because II Is
cheaper? If you do, buy microscope,
and examine dump of the next you take
home. Astonishment will be- hardly
the word to express the feelings you will
have at the result Lest you may not get
tho microscope, allow us to describe what
you can sec. Under powerful glass,
there will be seen myriads of horrible
monsters as large rs beetles, and having
the appearance of crabs. Four dreadful
legs, with claw.pincers at the ends of them,
jointcd in four parts as with nrmor, and
bristling with sharp pointed spears, are
in front Of the monster, and his hOad has
long pyramidal form in two joints, with
five finger tips at the terminus where the
mouth should be. The body is oval.
shaped, and marked almost exactly like
that of crab, only upon the rims Of an
inner circle upon the back there are twelve
more ofthosc long. sharp spears, with two
at the tail, and four snake like tenencula,
exceedingly fine In the articulation, and
no doubt intended, like puss's whiskcrs,
20 bo fcelers, to warn the animal Of danger.
Tho reverse side shows the ugliness Of
the beast even moro than the diverse but
il also shows tho wondrous mechanical
genius of the maker OF it, Each limb Is
padded with mass Of muscle at the base
Of it, which gives tho impression Of i'm
mcn.e power, and over the muscle there is
n case Of armor through which it shows.
These creatures nrc eager, rcstive, and
ravenous; always falling foul of each
other, or attacking great Jumps Of sugar,
as largo in reality rs mathematical point.
With the plnccrs attached to the end Of
each proboscis they take hold of and tear
each other, repeating In their small way
tho enormous tragedies Of Tennyson's
primal monsters. A spoonful Of this raw
coarse sugar was dissolved in about three
times the quantity Of wGtcr, when, as with
a conjurer's rod, animnlculcs sprang to tho
surface and floated there, swimming about
and up and down, like the beasts that wrig.
gle in soft water tubs, and finally turn
into mosquitoes. They can bo seen with
the naked eye, but not in their entire hid.
eousness. 1t has been proved that in cvery
pound of unroined, raw sugar, there are
one hundred thousand of these acari.
