Cummoo Sulieman, a wealthy citizen oi Bombay, has undertaken to build a dispensary to afford medical relief to women by doctors of their own sex. A novel suit was recently instituted at Covington, Kentucky, by Peter Shinkles, aged 88 years, against his son Amos. The young man had begun work for himself at the age of 18, became rich, and has had his father work for him and live in his house. The old man re-married, and then began a suit to recover all the young man's earnings before he was 21 years old. ■There is no country whero there are so many large fortunes among "* he territorial ariatocraej " as in Germany. In Germany proper there are 26 estates which are larger than any in Great Britain, with the exception of the Duke of Sutherland's domain ; but an enormous number of acres of his Scotch estate are a trackless waste. The landed possessions of Princo Schwartzenberg (in Austria and Hungary) cover 120 German square miles, those of Prince Lichtenstein extended over 104 square miles, Prince Esterhazy's 80, and Count Schonborn's 60. There are numerous estates of 50 square miles.
