eyelashes very long tor one so young;

the question, "What pony did mama
drive?' he answered, "Polly." He said
George Swoopee, or some such name,

Decisions OF Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, November l6.-The Su-
preme Court to-day rendered the follow
ing decisions: Woodson ct al. rs. Muir !
dock ct al. appeal from Circuit Court for
the district of Missouri. This was pro-
ceeding on the part of the proper officers
of the State TO enforce an alleged lien on |
the property Of the Pacific railroad Com F.
pany, arising from certain advances
made by the State to aid in the compile |
ton of the road. The decree before was
in favor of the company, awarding an
injunction to restrain further proceedings,
and it is here affirmed.
The State of Maryland IS. Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad Company. The points
in this case have been several times
stated The State claimed the balance
of the interest due from the Company
equal to the difference between gold and
legal tenders at the dates Or which GER
tain payments were made. The Com
pany asserted that there was no con-
! tract for payment in gold, and it was so
decided below. This view is affirmed
here, the Court saying that there was no
Just ground for the implication that the
Company assumed to pay its dues to the
State in gold, or in any other money than
the money generally in use, ard the fact
that the Company did pay the State inter
est in sterling funds in London down to
1865 cannot change the complexion of
| the contract.
