1t is astonishing how many things in COM
moon use now were in use then. You will
see almost every kitchen utensil, portable
cooking stoves, jelly-cake tins, and butter
moulds in the imitation of birds and flow
crs, pots, kettles, crooks, dishes, cups and
salcers, spoons, knives and forks, dippcrs
swimmers, sauce-pans, irying-pans, lamps
lamp-stands. flesh hooks, and braziers for
charcoal. Pretty much every kitchen, din
ing-room, or chamber article found in mod
ern use entered into Roman daily life. All
The articles of a lady's toilet, including lew.
elry ofal kinds, gold and silver ornaments,
corals ana precious stones, were found in
the houses OF Pompei. Taken from the re-
tail shops were steelyards, balances, weights
and measures. From doctors Office was
recovered full set of surgical instruments,
including "puIikins" for extracting teeth.
and trepans for drilling holes in the skull.
There is any number OF shoemaker, tailor.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
A decision of some interest to army ci

decision Of some interest to army circles
was rendered today in The pension case
OF the United States CT rel Ward B. Bur
nett. plaintill, in error, vs. Henry NJ. Teller,
Secretary of the Interior In error to the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.
This litigation arises out of the following
state OF facts: General Burnett. by virtue of
Especial act Of Congress, passed March Sd.
1879, was in receipt of pension of $50 per
month. Under the provisions of the gener-
al pension laws of 1872, 1874 and 1880, he
became entitled 10 pension at higher rate,
and on the 18th of July 1882, new pension
certificate for So per month, was issued to
him under the general law On the 2lst. of
July, 1882, he returned to Secretary Teller
the ccrtlllcate for a pension Of $50 month
under the special act and offered to relin-
qnish II. lie now asserts that in giving up
this certificate he acted unadvisedly, and he
therefore prays for Il writ of mandamus to
compel Secretary Teller to return it to him
and pay him the special pension Of $50 per
month for which it provides in addition to
the SI2 per month which he isreceiving upon
the certificate issued under the general law
This court holds that General Burnett's
right to double pensions-if he ever had
such right-has been efGectually cut Off by
section five of the Act Of July %. 1882 1t
was competent for Congress to pass this
act. No pensioner has vested legal right
to his pension. Pensions are the bounty
OF the government which Congress has
the right to give, withhold, distribute
or recall at its discretion. The conten-
ton OF the relator, that having received the
pension OF SIP, under the general law, he is
also entitled to the pension of $50, granted
him by name in the special act, is therefore
without any ground to rest on. The Su-
preme Court of the District of Columbia
was right in refusing the writ of mandamus
and its judgment is affirmed Opinion bv
Justice Woods.
An interesting decision involving the
question of the liability OF the holders of
hypothecated railroad stock for the debts of
the msolvent railroad company, was render
eel in the case of Edward Burgess, plaintiff.
in error, VI. Jesse Seligman ct al. executors
In error to the Circuit Court of the e. S. for
the Eastern District of Missouri. The court
help that the holders of such stock AS col
lateral IN trust were not responsible for
