An Important Decision.-.


cision rendered by the Supreme Court
Of the United States Il few days ago is
regarded as an important one, not only
for the amount, but for the principles
involved. 1t was an appealed case from
the Circuit Court for the Western Dis
trict of Virginia, in which VIM. A Glas-
gov, executor of one Spears, was de-
creed by Judge Rivers to pay over again
about $40, 900 which he had paid for u
tract Of land in Confederate money.
The United States Court reverses Judge
Rivers out and out, holding that the
first payment was in every respect valid.
The decree was reversed with costs and
the cause was remanded, with directions
to dismiss the suit. The opinion was
delivered by Associate Justice Field.

A Coming Comet.-A comet FIRST
seen at Paris, December l, Is growing
brighter. Prof. Boss, of Dudley Obser-
vatory, says the increase in brightness
will continue slow until April l, when
it will begin to be much more rapid,
and by the middle of the month will be
visible to the naked eye. Two weeks
later it will reach its maximum OF
brightness, when its appearance will be
much like that of 1882, and be visible all
night. 1t will also, as that of 1881, be
seen in the western sky. When nearest
the earth it will only be IL, 0OO, 900 miles
distant. 1t will retain its brightness
until May 10, when 1t will gradually
fade. The Barnard comet is also dis
covered to he increasing in brightness,
but will not become visible to the naked
eve. Neither comet has a previous re-
corded appearance.
