Iy from tho Governn an Invested of
any claim of third parties under Lowns-
dale.
This proposition was much discuss
cd in the case Of Davenport VS. Lamb,
13 Wallaee, 4l8, already cited, but
the court did not then find il necessary
to decide it, as the only parties who
were entitled to raise the question had
not appealed from the decree OF the
Circuit Court.
Nor do We propose to decide now
whether the title in the hand of the
children and heirs of Daniel Lownsdale
would be liable for his debts, or to
what extent that title might be affect
ed by the contracts Of Lownsdale,
concerning the land itself, made after
the passage of the donation act, or
after his assertion of claim under it.

in the wite's share of the land which
came to him by survivorship, would be
affected by any contract of his or hers,
made before her death at any time.
But We hold that as to the portion
Of the land which was allotted to him
by the SurveYor-Genersl, and the
title of which vests in his heirs by the
act Of 1885, S u. s. Statutes. 81,
without which the, patent you'd be
void, his contract Of sale made before
the donation act was passed, and while
he was the owner Of the possessory
interest before described, was valid
contract, Intentionally protected by the
donation act itself, and binding on the
title which comes to his heirs By rea-
son of his death.
These considerations dispose of the
case before Us, and the decree Of the
Circuit COURT is accordingly affirmed.

IDLE GIRLs.-It is painful spectacle in fami.
lies where mother is the drudge to see the
daughters elegantly dressed, reclining at their
use with their drawing, their music, their fancy
work, and their reading, beguiling themselves oi
the lapse of hours, days and weeks, and never
dreaming of their responsibilities, butas necessa
~ consequence of neglect of duty, growing weary
oftheir useless lives, laying hold of every newly
Invented stimulant to arouse their dropping en-
ergy and blaming their fate, when they dare moi
bame their God, for having placed them where
they are. These individuals will often tell you,
with an air of affected compassion flor who car
