An Interesting question.

An American citizen in the British Parliament. The member for Da-tmouth, in the new British Parliament, is Capt. E. W. Schenley, whose marriage with a wealthy heiress of Pittsburg is not forgotten here. Less than nine years ago the g llant captain, -who has so brilliantly carried off the beauty and jewel of a boarding school on Long Island, where her family had fondly hoped she wo< Id be, like the Roman Virginia, the bride of study for a whil •, was naturalized, in due form, as a citizen of the United States. According to the usual order he renounced ana adjured forever allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, or State sovereignty whatever, and particularly all allegiance to the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, whereof he had been previously a subject. He is a nice case for the naturalization debaters. Is he a citizan of the United States] or a subject of Great Britain! or both, naturalized as to the lormer, and native as to the latter! Could he be elected to Congress from the Pittsburg district, whore he holds, by right of his wife, immense landed property, and yet take his seat in th“ Imperial Parliament! OC?”The women of Mexico are reported to be organizing secret political lodges. They see that the men have not force enough to accomplish anything, and so will undertake the work themselves. They cannot do worse than the men, most certainly.
