By a lecent cablegram I see that a new and highly attractive employment for ladies haß been discovered, ar.d an opening made in one of the hitherto most exclusive professions for tho gentler sex. Ladies within the last few years have been admitted to the practice of law and meiicine, and are recognised as expert operators of the telegraph, the type writer, the telephone, the domestic mop, and a host of other scientific inventions of incalculable value. She may go on to the' Stock Exchange, or the County Council, or into the gaol, the Post Office, the Divorce Court, or the uursery; and if ever I meet an anxious father inquiring: what he shall let hie daughter go into, I say, '* By nil means let her go iuto matrimony." Women's rights have made great strides within the last few years, and may be trusted to take care of thpmselvee iv future. When lhat strongminded lady, the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, headed a deputation, numerously composed of harself and one other lady, to the London niauager of the Waterbury Watch Company, and suggested with considerable force and the aid of a welldevuloped umbrella, that the correc"; time was just as essential to ladies as to the other sex, that gentleman took (he hint, and devolved the handsomest short-wind-ing ladies' watch which has ever been seen and samples of which are now on view at Mr John Avery's warehouse in Devonstreet. This, however, is a digression. The opening to which attention is called 18 the army, Her Gracious Majesty Queen Vie. having just been elected Colonel of the Prussian First Dragoon Guards. That this intelligence will cause the battlescarred old veterans of Jena and Austerlitz to blush right down to their spurs no one will doubt, but that ia nothing to the effect that it will have upon the first hostile French regiment who are called upon to meet them iv mortal combat. Fancy the evolutions of the Prussian crack corps led by a lady in the smart white uniform of the Dragoon Guards. No Frenchman would be able to stand such a sight for a moment. No douot Her Majesty relics on "the diviuity which doth hedge a king " (extended by courtesy for this occasion) ob an efficient protection from Maxiui bullets, short rations, and the other thousand and ono inconveniences of a protracted campaign. The same cablegram that advised the appointment also notifies that the Emperor of Germany, after reviewing the English troops, remarked to the Duke of Cambridge "that the English navy and the German army were without equal in the world." 1 wonder how the fine old duke — 70 years a eoldier, man and boy, sir — writhed under this insult, or whether he flung his boot at the Imperial head ?
