Note. — Telegraph oDice closes at 5 p.m. GEO. T. POTIO, Hon. Sec. Submitted aud approved — Jas. Paul, lion. Sec , T.J.C. 364 hb aps PBAOE OF EUROPE. j QUEEN VICTORIA A GERMAN COLONEL. By* lecent cablegram I see that a new and highly attractive employment for ladies has been discovered, and an opening made in one of the hitherto most exclusive professions for this gentler sex. L-idies within tho last few yeurs have been admitted to the practice of law and medicine, and are recognised as expert operators of the telegraph, the type writer, the telephoue, the domestic mop, and n host of other scientific inventions of incalculable value. She may go on to the Stock Exchange, or tbe County Council, or into tho gaol, the Post Office, the Divorce Court, or the aursery; and if ever I meet an anxious father inquiring what he shall let his daughter go into, I say, '• By all means let her go into matrimony." Women's rights have made great strides within the last few years, and may bo trusted to take care of themselves iv future. When that strongminded lady, tho BaroneßS Burdett-Coutts, headed a . deputation, numerously composed of tnrself and one other lady, to the London manager of the Waterbury Watch Company, and suggested with considerable force und the aid of a welldeveloped umbrella, that the correct time was just as essential to ladies as to the other Bex, that gentleman took the hint, and devolved the handsomest short-wind-ing ladies' watch wbich has ever been seen and samples of which arw now on view at Mr John Avery's warehouse in Devonstreet. This, however, is a digression. Tho opening to which attention is called is the army, Her Gracious Majesty Queen Vie. having just buen elected ColonKl of the Prussian First Dragoon Guards. That this intelligence will cause the battleBcarred old veteiansof Jena and Austerlitz to blush right down to their spurs no one will doubt, but that is nothing to the effect that it will have upon tbe 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 Buch a sight for a moment. No douot Her Majesty relies on 4 *the divinity which doth hedge a king " (extended by courtesy for this occasion) as an efficient protection from Maxim bullets, short rations, and the other thousand and one inoonvenienoes of aprotraoted campaign. The Bame cablegram that advised tho appointment also notifies that tbe Emperor of Germany, after reviewing the English troopß, 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 v Boldier, man and boy, sir — writhed under this insult, or whether he flung his boot at the Imperial bead ?
