The Chufo, a Japanese paper, eays the Tersuchi Government contemplates subscribing to s new loan to be issued by Gresi Britain in the near future.

A Curious Amendment. A new l'abang Ensciment makes rather a curious amend- ment to the Mahomeden Isw of marriage and divorce. It speci- fien that where the marriage of two person subject to the enact- ment has been irrevocably dissol. red by the proncuncement of Abres divoram by the man against the woman, it shall be enlswfal for each parties to cohabit as man and wifs unless the shall have first been inwfully married to some other person than her divorced husband and euch marriage shall have been dissolved. This seems to work oat: A marries Band pronounce the three divorces. A cannot cohabit with B until she has again been married and properly divɔrned. But an alternative | from Shanghai. rending seems to be: A marries Baad pronossose three divorDGE, Unless has first been lawfully married to some other person and divorced, she shall not resume cohabitation with A♫
