F. W. PKANKLiAKD, F.1.A., I' - Onniini«Fiioiipv iitvl Gc>vt. Actuary. PBAOB OP EUROPE. QUKEN VICTORIA A GERMAN COLONEL. By % leccnt cablegram I see that a new and highly attractive employment for ladies hus been discovered, and an opening made in one of the hitherto most exclusive professions for the gentler sex. Lidies within the last few years have been admitted to the practice of law and medicine, and are recognised as expert operators of the telegraph, the type writer, the telephone, the domestic mop, and n hoßt 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 uursory; and i£ 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, find may be trusted to take care of themselves iv future. When that strongminded lady, the Baroness Burdett-Coults, headed a deputation, numerously composed of herself and one other lady, to tbe London manager of the Wuterbury Watch Company, and suggested with considerable force and the aid of a welldeveloped umbrella, that the correct time was just as essential to ladies as to the other sex, that gentleman took ihe hint, and devolved the hundaomest short-wind-ing ludiea' watch which has ever been seen and samples of which are now on view at Mr John Avery'a warehouse in Dovonstreet. Thiß, however, is a digression. The opening to which attention is called is the nrmy, Her Gracious Majeßty Queen Vio. having just been elected Colonel of the Prussian First Dragoon Guards. That this intelligence will cause the battlescarred old veteranßof Jena and Austerlitz to blush right down to their spurs no one will doubt, but that is nothing to tbe effect that it will have upon the first hostile Frenoh 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 ablo to stund euch a sight for a moment. No doubt Her Mujesty relive on " the divinity which doth hedge a king " (extended by courtesy for this occuuion) as an efficient protection from Maxim bullets, short rations, and the other thousand and one inconveniences of a protruoted campaign. The same cablegram that advised the appointment aleo notifies that the Emperor of Germanj', 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." I wonder how tbe fine old duke— 7o years a soldier, man and boy, eir— writhed under this moult; or whether ho flung hie boot at 1 1)0 Imporiul head ? JOHN AVEIiY, #!>w P),y ujoutfi,
