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,

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.
The sale of all medicines without such a
label is made a misdemeanor. If passed,
the law will be what the Yankee deacons
call very "s'archin'.''
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

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

landlords as well as members of parlia
