EVERY SEVEN YEARS, Psychologists say, the
human body is entirely changed and renewed.
Every moment of our lives, every part of our
bodies is wearing out and is being built up
anew of fresh matter. This work is accom-
plished by the blood which goes through
every part But if the blood becomes weak
or vitiated, and does not perform its work
properly, the system is actually poisoned by
the " vorn-out matter clegging the vital organs
instead of leaving the body. For dyspepsia,

WHAT POINTS ARE INVOLVED.

TO BE TAKEN UP IN THE SUPREME COURT TODAY
WHAT POINTS ARE INVOLVED.
BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TBBUsEl
WASHINGTON, Oct 26.-Wednesday the Supreme
Court will take up the case of the Union Pacific
Railroad against the United States, appealed by the
Attorney General from the Court of Claims, where
unanimous decision made against the Govern
ment The points involved are whether the Com
pany is bound, under the act of 1862 amended in
1864, TO pay the interest advanced by Government
the second mortgage bonds until the principal IL
ment can withhold more than one-half the
amount earned by the Company for Govern
ment business not. The Court OF CLAIMS
decided both issues against the Government. The
debt statement of Oct. l, 1875, shows that in the
last seven years the Government has paid ont IN i'll
terest on the bonds issued to the Union Pacific,
$11, SS4 1874, and the Company has reimbursed OF
this So, 729, 059, leaving si55,265 as the cost OF
the road to the Government since IT'S construction.
Prior to its construction, the annual cost of trans
portation. ETC., the line of the road was over
81, 0O0, 900 per annum. The amount which the Com
pany will pay to the Government this year, under
their construction of the law is 5000 600. Sid
ney Bartlett of Boston and Mr. Stoughton of New
York appear for the Company, and AttOmey-Gen-
eral Pierrepont for the Government. The report OF
the Senate Judiciary Committee, in favor of the
view Of the Government, is filed by the Company AZ
one of their pleas. The will probably last all
day. and the decision of the Court probably not
be announced for some weeks.
