* PEACE OF EULiOPE. 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 tho gentler sex. Lidies within the last few years have been admitted to the practice of law and medicine, and are recognised us expert operators of the telegraph, tho 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 tho gaol, the Post Office, the Divorce Court, or the uursery; and if ever I meet an anxious father inquiring what he shall let his daughter go into, I sny, <% By all means let her go into matrimony." Women's rights have made great strides within tho last few years, and may be trusted to tuke care of themselves iv fnluro. When that strongminded lady, the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, headed a deputation, numerously composed of h'.Tsolf and one other Jady, to the London manager of the Waterbury Watch Company, and 8U f rgeßted with considerable force nnd tho aid of a welldevuloped umbrella, that the corrcc. time was just bb essential to ladies us to the other sex, that gentleman took the hint, nnd devolved the handsomest short-wind-ing ladieß' watch which has over been seen and samples of which aro now on view at Mr John Avery'B warehouse in Devonstreet. This, however, jb a digression. The opening to which attention is called is the army, Her Gruoiouß Mujoßty Queen Vie. having just been elected Colonel of the Prussian First Dragoon Guards. That this intelligence will cause the battlosoarred old veteiansof Jena nnd 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 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 one inconveniences of a protruded 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 ia the world" 1 wonder how the fine old duke — 70 yeara a soldier, man and boy, Bir-^writhed under this insult, or whether ho flung his boot at the Imperial bead ?
