THE NEWS FROM MEXICO. The corres-
pondence from the city of Mexico and
Matamoros which we publish to-day, gives
an interesting review of the positions
of parties in that republic. 1t is evident
that Mexico is about entering upon
bitterly contested canvass and election, and if
the government makes use of the appliances
usual there to cause the returns to result in
its favor widespread attempt at revolution
will be the result. No Improvement is ex-
hibited in the condition of the country, and
the grant Of extraordinary powers to President
Juarez, which makes him the actual dictator,
is giving great dissatisfaction. That singular
phase of social decay, the practice of kidnap-
ping persons of wealth and taking them to the
mountains until ransomed, continues to ex-
tend, and it is now stated that even children
three years of age are taken in this way In
Tamaulipas the rebels are continuing their
advances unchecked, and the letters from
there give slight hope of the paci6cation of the
country

Rev. Alexander pyce, d. A.

This well known scholar DIED yesterday, as we
informed by a cable telegram from London. lie was
the son OF general in the service Of the East India
Company. and was born In Edinburg on the Goth OF
June, 1898. After graduating from Exeter College.
Oxford, he entered the Church and served curate
In several provincial towns until 1927 when he
moved to London Here he engaged in literary
pursuits and soon became known as o writer OF
merit. Among the earliest OF his works were
specimens OF the British Poetesses" and one edl-
ton OF tue poet Collins. At later date he edited,
win notes and biographies the dramatic and poeti-
cal WORKS o! several authors, including Beaumont
Fletcner and Marowe. Gffords unfinished edition
OF Shirley was also completed by Dr. Dyce. The
WORK which established hts reputation, however,
was his edition OF shakespeare" which was first
published IN 1857, and was received with marked
lavor by the press and public. Recollections OF the
Iape Talk OF Samuel Rogers" another OF his works.
y wen known In the United States, where it has
oeen reprinted and largely circulated. AT the time
OF MS death DR.. Dyce was employed ON q translation
from the Greek OF "Athengus," and had Just pub
ilsned new edition Of shakespeare" Although
not brilliant writer the literary productions OF the
deceased were distinguished for the care and
tnought bestowed upon every subject aud for the
ciearness with which each idea was expressed. We
may say that, In great measure, the high reputa-
uon ne possessed rested upon the industry and
Judgment which enabled him to furnish correct
biographies OF early writers and fairly determine
the true test OF their works. DIR. Dyce was in the
seventy-hrst year OF his age
