to examine the standing of the Hartford

ways of undertaking the insurance busi-

companies, noticeably in New York. have
been run on the former plan. They prac.

American Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as an Aperient antc-acid in dyspepsia complaints

has the advantage over common Magnesia, in being
dissolved, and therefore not being liable to accu-
mulate in the bowels. 1t is decidedly superior TO

This solution Of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial pleasing sedatve and aperient in all
of irritation acidity OF the stomach febtie
complaints, infantile disorders, sea sickness.
An ounce or two of this solution speedily re-
moves heartburn, acrid eructations and eourness,
or irregular digestion.
The solution is OF itself aperient. but its axa-
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it, directly after ii, little lemon juice,
mixed with sugar and water, or even with cream
of tartar. in this manner very agreeable effer-
vescent draugh can be safely taken ut any time
during fever or thirst

been found very valuable in patrid and other fe-
breath, and the Magncsia cleans the teeth from

The solution is almost invariably succeeded in

The o. s, Supreme Court.

& W Washington correspondent of the ST.
Louis Republican, referring to the bill
pending for the temporary increase 10 the
number of supreme court judges, says two
things may be relied on concerning the
supreme court: The frst is that Justice
Strong expects to resign in short time
de holds that the law concerning retire
ments indicates it to be the intention of
congress that judges shall go off the bench
when they arrive at the age of seventy
years. Justice Strong is still a sound man
In mind and body. but he feels that with
his years he has no guarantee against an
attack, which will make him incaps bic Of
Tesigning, as has been the result ID Justice
Cllford's case. and he prefers to retire
when his retirement will be regretted
rather than remain until il is asked, why
does that old man stay SO long on the
beDch?' 1t may he that Atty. Gen.
Devens will be appointed to succeed JUS
tiee Strong, but he himself does not know
what is the intention of the president Il
is probably the fact that the president
intends to appoint Gen. Devens to one of
the judgeships provided for by Mr.
Springer's bill. That BILLS really intended
to NIL future vacancies to be caused by the
retirement of Judges Clifford and Hunt.
If that bill passes, and it probably will
Gen, Devens will be one of the appointeel.
This is certainly determined on. Should
the president appoint him to succeed
Justice Strong it will be because he has
changed his programme in consequence of
the incoming of the new administration,

The passage by Congress of the bill in

to make Grant general on the retired
list is not by any means certain, and will
meet with much opposition. IF Grant
would agree to stay out of politics alto
gether the bill would be supported by
Blaine or other anti-Grant politicians, but
this is by no means certain. Grant is am
bilious to be president again. and will not
pledge himself to stand aside for anyone.
Blaine, too, has ambition to be president,
and he will not willingly favor Grant IN
less it be clearly understood that Grant il
out of politics. If Blaine supports the
measure, the people can rest assured tha
an express understanding has beer
reached.
