The Surrogate of New York has granted the application of the Duchess of Marlborough for na sdditional allowance of one hundred thousand dollars out of the estate of her first busband, the lato Mr. Louis Hammersley. The contest in respect to Mr. Hammersley's will is still ponding, and attention is called to the fact that should the decision be against the Duchess she would in one Bonsele u gainer. At present she has only the Incurge of the estate for life; wherana, if the will is upset, she would get an absolute title to about one million dollars.

Miss Ella Baker, twenty-nine years of age, yrangest daughter of Mr. T. Baker, of the Inner Templo, and Kingscoto, Wokingham, was stang undor tan aya by a bee in the garden, about noon on the 13th July. She treated the matter light ly, and suffered no pain after the vastomary Patna (Old). simple antidote had been applied, saying that sheBaaren (Old) had been stang before, the swelling would run its coarse and go down again, and she continued to be quite akamfal down to 3.30 p.m. on the 14th, when she fell asleep on Lus sofa. A19.15 p.m. sho endilonly woke up in a convulsive &t, and died from syncope within a minuto. Miss Ella Baker was the author of Bertram de Dra- mont" and other tales for young people; siso "Storios from Old History The Sovereigns of England," "Songs of the Seasons," and other fugitive pieces.
During a tailstora at Mure, in Denmark, e short time ago, a flash of forked lightning the only one oponering-struck a farm, and, biving demolished the chimney-stock and mude a wreck of the loft, descended into the living-rooms on the ground floor below. Here its esrear appears to have been most extraordinary, all the pister around doors sed virdows having been tora down and the bed curtsine in the bedrooms rent to pieces. An old Dutch ebook was smashed into atoms, but a oanary and enge. hanging a faw Laches from it were quite uninjured. The light- ning also bruke sixty windows and all the mirrors in the home. On learing the rooms it passed elean through the door into the yard, where it killed a sit. two fowls, and a pig, and then baried itself in the earth. In one of the rooms were ; two women, both of whom wars struck to the ground, but neither was injured.
The old proverb, "Better late than never." has just been illustrated by a striking medera instaure. Ninety earon years ago some person. now nukrown by name, posted in Paris a numbar of the Gazette Universells, directing it to Mon- sieur X, in Merges, Bnitserland," but the nowspaper did not arrive at its destination until last week. It appears that the Gazette, which had been waiting for delivery ever since January 1791, had got mixed up with a beedle of other newspapers and was found with its cover and address still intact smidet a heap of rubbish in a garret. The finder sonsoientiously sent it to the Morges post master, by whom it was as con- scientiously forwarded to the present representa- tive of the family still living at Marges. So anique a specimen of postal integrity deserves to be exhibited is a postal museum, or would not be out of place amongst the curiosities in the Newspaper Museum at Aachen.

Guardines a discussion took place as to the ap- pointment of a surgeon-datist for the workhouse sebonis, as recommended by tho School Commit- tse. There was considerable opposition, and the matter was referred back to the school Committee for friber report. Car contemporary, the St. James's Gaantie; vory jually says: Whatever the result, there cannot bo à doubt that the pre-A servation of their teeth is a matter of no-slight importance to pauper children. The rate of mar. tality among the poorer elassan would perhaps be much reduced if more ati ation wore paid to tiro condition of their tooth was young." On the ground of expenditure alone it would in all pro kability ha Fouad a ring. Wherever it has been tried it has been found to bring about the cost beneficial results. In his last report the resid ent medical officer at the Anerley schools (which was, we b·liare, the first charitable institution ta appoint a dental surgeon) draws arpacial attan tion to this subject, as it came under his personal observation
