Fannie B. Ward in letter from Mexico gives some rather unpleasant information about ''Toloschi. It grows everywhere in Mexico, but more thriftily in the tropical lowlands. It is 8 harmless looking plant much resembling northern milkweed, and quite too dangerouslay convenient in land where suspicion rules and jealousy amounts to madness. It does not kill but acts innme- dlately upon the brain, producing first vio- lent insanity and then hopeless idiocy. It is whispered that poor Carlotta had hardly landed at Vera Cruz on her sorrowfnl mission to Mexico before some of it was administered to her, and her deplorable fate is cited as one among many instances. Of all the dan gers in Mexico this is one of the most ap- palling. Any political enemy, or offended servant, may thus revenge himself in more fendish manner than with the st1letto and without fear of detection; few drops of this tasteless white fluid mixed with milk or other food does it's diabolical work with inex orable certainty, and can only be detected by it's gradual results.
 The Treysury department has got itself dis liked by the friends of Woman on account of it's adverse decision in the case of Mrs Mary Miller, an applicant for license as master of steamboat. The case is an interesting one Mrs. Miller is the wife of Captain George Miller, an old Kentucky steamboat man who spent much of his life on western rivers. Captain Miller is now more than seventy years old. His wife, who is more than a score of years younger than her husband, has learned how to handle boat and how to fol- low the channel amid the shifting bars and caving banks and snags and intricacies of the western rivers Mrs. Miller is well versed in the art of steamboating, and for years has assist ed her husband in his various duties in man. aging river craft. The ancient captain, as- sisted by his wife, son and daughter of six teen years, has prespered with his boat, but increasing age compelling him to seek repose in his cabin while his wife stood watch on the roof, has been making itself year by year more seriously felt. In this emergency Mrs. Miller determined to qualify herself by pro- cess of law for taking command of the boat and she therefore applied to the focal inspec- tors for license as master. She passed suc- cessfully the examinations and she proved her acquaintance with the requirements for a steamboat captain in handling boat under the various emergencies and circumstances to which steambeats are liable. The local in- spectors certified the application with ap- proval to Supervising Inspector George L. Norton. He approved the finding and sent the matter to Supervising Inspector General Dumort at Washington, who in turn referred it to the solicitor of tho treasury, who, it is reported, decided adversely to the application because the applicant is woman. This is one of the cases where Woman ought to have B chanca.

Considerable interest has been excited throughout Austria by the proposed new marriage law, the debate on which began a few days ago in the lower house of the Hun garian parliament. The government bill authorizes marriages between Jews and Christians, which have hitherto been unlaw- ful, even If contracted abroad, if one of the parties is a Hungarian. It is proposed that these marriages may in future be celebrated before registrar, an office now for the first time instituted in Hungary. The Austrian marriage laws require Jews and Christians, or Christians of Q non-recognized creed, when they intend to marry to declare themselves of no religion, and it is only when this has been done that the registrar is empowered to perform the ceremony, which in all other cases is reserved to the church.

Getting 8 nomination in England does not
 appear to be much more respectable opera ton than 1t is in this country. MT. James Bryce has been recently giving a lecture in Cambridge on the way in which an English man may get nominated.
