Siuo'ri'n:n, Consul General to Mexico, reports a general impetus in mining and other public enterprises in that country, the result of the rapidly growing railway system. i A The number of graduates from West A Point this year will not equal the vacan cies in the roll of second Lieutenants in the army, and the deficiency will be sup- t plied from civil life. IT is reported that one of the largest. amounts ever granted in any country as compensation for a railroad accident to one person was recently given in Scot land to an engineer. The loss of a foot was compensated by ?9,250 or $41,250, Soti of the best English jockeys are women ; daughters of farmers, or of c country squires, who have lost their for tunes. They have been accustomed to ride to hounds from their childhood, are perfectly fearless, and their light weight in the saddle makes them d-sira ole as jockeys. A bill has been favorably reported in C the New York Legislature, compelling all makers, proprietors anu venders of medicel preparations "affecting the hu man or animal body," to place upon the label a full and true statement of the ' ingrc(lients of which it ii composed.

Tiii: Farnham type-setting machine has been on public exhibition in the Goodwin block on Haynes street., 1 t:jrt ford, Conn., and attracted immense crowds. It both sets and distributes type, and, it is claimed, can do the work of five compositors. A syndicate of Connecticult capitalists have pur chased the patent, and will soon take measurei to bring the niachine into I practical use. IT appears that Brittish capital is about to be investcd in American land to a large amount. A Eon of an M. P who now is visiting this country for the purpose of buying land, says that there is an enormous amount of capital lying idle in England, and that syndicates have been formed to invest in this coun try. A mong those investing are BarinR Bros., the bankers, Mr. Labouchere, of Truth, Sir Thomas Brassey, civil lord of the admiralty. and many of the bank ing houses and numbers of large country landlords as well as members of parlia ment.
