PBAOE OF EUROPE. QUEEN VICTORIA A GERMAN COLONEL. By h iecent cablegram I see that a new and highly attractive employment for ladies bus been discovered, and an opening made in one of the hitherto most exclusive professions for tha gentler sex. Lidies within the last few years have been admitted to the' practice of law and medicine, and are recognised as expert j 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 tho Stock Exchange, or the County Council, or into the gaol, the Post Office, the Divorce Court, or the iiursery; and if ever I meet an anxious father inquiring what he shall let his daughter go into, I say, üßy all means let her go into matrimony." Women's rights have made great strides within the laßt few years, and may be trusted to take care ot themselves iv future. When that strongminded lady, the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, headed a deputation, numerously composed of hsrself and one other ladj, to the London manager of the Waterbury Watch Company, and suggested with considerable force and the aid of a welldevbloped umbrella, that the correct time was just as essential to ladies as to the other sex, that gentleman took the hint, and devolved the handsomest short-wind-ine: ladies' watch which bas 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 is the army, Her Gracious Majeaty 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 is 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 eight for a moment. No douot Her Majesty relies on '• 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 odo inconveniences of a protracted campaign. The same cablegram that advised the appointment also notifies that the 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 " I wonder bow the fine old duke — 70 years a Boldier, man and boy, sir— -writhed under this insult, or whether he flung his boot at the Imperial head ?
