AN important decision has just been
rendered by the United States supreme
court in the case Of tho Union Pacific rail-
road company against ex president Du
rant, on appeal from the circuit court for
the district of Nebraska This was an
action Of the Union Pacific company to
recover of DuraDt and wife the real estate
conveyed to him at Omaha while president
and general manager of the road on the
ground that it was conveyed 10 trust for
the company aud not for his own use.
The court below sustained the title of
Durant, but the decree is now reversed,
the supreme court holding that the con-
veyance to Durant was in effect convey
auce to the company, and, in conclusion,
remarking that the conduct of Durant,
stripped of the verbiage with which it has
been clothed, and viewed in its nakedness
strongly offends the moral sense of the
judicial mind Justice Swayne delivered
the opinion.

IT is reported from Washington that the
president will sign, on presentation to him,
the Bland silver bill which passed the
house on Monday, and which its friends say
is sure of passing the senate. 1t was
passed by vote of l63 to "a. which was
80 more than two thirds.
The bill is the same as agreed upon by
the banking and currency committee, and
the same as so persistently advocated by
Mr., Bland in the last congress. Then it
did not have many friends, but this year
committees have wraugled for its control.
Mr.. Bland kept at its head however, and
had it passed without any committees.
The absence Of great many eastern men
made the passage Of the bill easier than it
otherwise would have been. New York,
New Jersey, Massachusetts,. Maine and
Vermont cast 90 of the "a votes in the
negative, West Of the Alleghenys there

under the treatment of many prominent
physicians, who failed to relieve her.
After three months treatment by DR.. Gran
she recovered, and is now enjoying perfect

SMALL FRUITS IN GARDESS.-But few
people seem to know the value of small fruits
to a family, when grown in their own gar
dens You commence with strawberries
they continue about month. You pick,
perhaps, from six to twelve quarts day.
You have them on your table as a dessert, If
you please at noon, and your tea table is
loaded with them at evening, and you want
little else but your bread and butter. Your
family consume, In one way or another, about
eight quarts day, and while they last no
medicines for bodily ailments are required,
as 4 quart of Strawberries daily viii gener-
ally dispel all ordinary diseases not settled
permanently in the system After strawber-
mes, raspbernes come to continue about three
weeks; then We have blackberries where
the climate is not too cold for cultivated va
rieties; then tine currants ripen, which re-
main until early grapes mature; and taking
the season through any family with a hall
acre of land In garden can grow small fruits
that make country Life delightful, and at the
same tune hundreds of dollars can be saved
in the supply of the table.-Cha. Farmer.

DOES MILK CURDLE N TIE SToMACH,-
The moment milk enters the human stomach
the digestive fluids change 1t into curd. The
cheesy part is separated from the whey, or
watery part. We hear mothers say when
their infant vomits up curd, that their milk
does not agree with it, that its stomach Is
sour and curlles the milk, and the curd Is
very hard The truth is that the milk III the
stomach always cur,lles before it digests. II
it did not curdle it would prove that the
stomach was weak. Those infants who are
fed at regular intervals are less apt to oyer
feed than those who are fed at irregular pc
RODS. We have found that infants nursed
at intervals OF two hours are much more apt
to suffer from indigestion. Some mothers
may ask, why is human milk more diges'a-
BILE than cows, The principal reasons are
two: first, the amount OF curd Is greater IN
cows milk: and second. the curd Is harder,
that Is, the easeine from human milk Is more
porous. and is on this account more easily
dissolved and disested -Heraid Of Heatth.
