A MARK AGAINST DENMARK.--At the beginning of last week it was
midsummer weather, and _not_ to have cast off winter clothing and
donned light attire would have been deemed "Midsummer madness." But by
Thursday "_on a changé tout cela_," except the clothes, and we were
in midwinter! The _Daily Telegraph's_ weather-clerk observed, that all
"this resulted from a deep depression in Denmark." It certainly caused
deep depression here; and there must be "something rotten in the State
of Denmark" which ought to be looked to immediately. Ere these lines
appear we hope--sincerely hope--that we shall have retraced our steps
towards summer.

QUERY SUGGESTED.--We read in the _Financial Times_ that "A corner in
camphor is, it is stated, being arranged." Is to be in "a corner in
camphor" as good as being "laid up in lavender"?
