~ Inc RlSnlS OF w omen Cow nt;on
at Worcester the other day, is a sourcce
of great amusement to many Of our cotem-
poraries; among whom are several incor-
rigIbte old bachelors. One fellow says
that if women hive not rights enough,
they manage somehow or other 10 obtain
power enough. This is intended as a
slap at those hen pecked husbands who
permit wives to do just as they please,
and throw sugar bowls at their lIege lords S
heads if they attempt 10 interfere. We
have no doubt that many poor devil Of
husband feels fully convinced of the
power of woman. Whether petticoatery
has any abstract right to make their nus
bands miserable is not considered debata
BILE; that many OF them exercise the pOtC
er IS beyond question-we speak not from
personal knowledge, bat according to
honest public confessions, made by many
unfortunate married men belonging 10 the
editorial fraternity.
The Baltimore american admires the
progress Of the Worcester ladies' very
much. but is surprised that some antigua
ted old girl, like Lucreta Mott, did no!
offer res olution in favor of abolishing
the institution of marriage. 1t expresses
a determination, however 10 stand out
against the invasion of mems pr ud pre-
Iogative by these desperate women, aud
carry The war into frica, if necessary
Ii women are determined 10 have II gh; OF
suffrage, the American SUCCESS the pro
priety of men claiming the right 70 DO
housework, and hiring out for nursing
particularly fortha, branch known as dry
nursing.
The only extraordinary circumstance,
however, that marked the proceedings OF
the Worcester ladies, was the prosecution
! OF business without any great exhibittCa
of excitement.
| During the whole sitting, net a car
was torn; the debate was continued with
out any pulling OF hair and not singl e
| face was scratched or dress disfgu red -
Another circumstance worthy 10 be noted
was the entire absence Of babies from the
convention. The assembling Of three OF
four hundred women upon one occasion,
and no babies at all in the assemblage was
remarked, particularly by the reporters
for the press. Their absence accounts
for the orderly manner in which the bus
mess OF the convention was conducted
and partially explains the secret of the
convention itself. About ninetenths OF
these progressive women are old maids
and grass widows without issue; had they
husoa nds. who could, by exercising grea
pa thence, live with them, they would be
per fec,ly satisfied with the world as it is
envy and modification sting the cid thing:
to the soul, and they are determnd to upse
Everything, not in the hope of betterine
| their own miserable situation, but with
the intention of making others, partic.u
larly young and contented wives, and
fascinating young girls, as miserable al
they are themselves. Nothing disturb
an envlous old maid so much, as to see
happy young wife and mother, or hand
some innocent CIR! who attracts admira
tion by her artlessness and beauty.

UNITED STATES SECURITIES IN EUROPA Lon
don correspondent of the Journal of Commerce, in
speaking of American securities, says it is very diff
cul to obtain the regular business prices, as there
is no regular board of brokers at which they are
dealt in Although occasionally dealt in by the
members of the London Stock Exchange, yet it is
rare that the transactions effected actually within
the building. Price currents are merely nominal
prices, and it rarely happens that more than one
stock is in vogue at time. When new loan Is
effected, it takes the lead and keeps it, to the exclu-
sion of all others, for many months. As soon as
the price of United States six per cents were quoted
at lO3, the Englishceased to buy ;then the French
and Dutch came in and bought largely in the aggre-
gate, though, as far as the Dutch were concerned,
the orders, though many were small, say for 1000
or 1000 at time. The latter purchase coupon
bonds of 1000 each almost exclusively, which has
been the cause of the increased demand for this de-
scrpton of stock. The correspondent adds:
Bonds of 1000 each saeabe the moment the letters
opened which contain them, but bonds Of 1000 and
5000 and 5000 dead letter. and only be sold by
special negotiation Even certificates most saleable in
amounts OF 1000 EACH While the disturbances the
continue and therefore the largest purchases from
them it would be wise Of remtes to send no other bonds
than those of 900 each. ....
In Amsterdam there is little inquiry for United
States bonds and in Paris at ALL and yet the London
market sustained by orders from these two Cities and If
these bonds from London either OF these ces the
chances are ten to one that they come back unsold
"The main Of this is that the orders for United
States bonds directly from parties who intend to become
permanent holders though the price in London may be
1870 per cent.
In France United States bonds bought for safety,
while the steady investing Germans who buy little OF every
thing have 5een and and will be the best customers for
these bonds. - ~. &" ..5a
Should the city of Paris become again the theatre Of blood
she'd many of her citizens will fly America with these bonds

coupons presented until long due the holders

And so it is made matter Of grave and serious

THE FOURTH OF JULYAND WASHINGTON
MONUMENT.

correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, from Bel Air, In
Maryland In commenting upon the invitation Of the Board
OF Managers Of the Washington Monument Association to
take up collection the Fourth OF July next has justly
remarked that ga single cent from each individual would
raise at once sum exceeding hundred thousand dollars
at fDo cents each, sum would be raised exceeding half
million ! and be thinks that this sum could be very easily
raised proper measures adopted for that purpose
for instance if the head of every family in the Union should
on the 4th call upon each member for contribution of two
cents the several contributions might then be submitted to
some gentleman Of the county town. to be by him forwarded
to the Treasurer Of the Society" He further suggests that
something worthy of consideration might be raised by
simultaneous Increment Of the rarous schools throughout tie
country" Most of these" he says, have assuredy one
or more exhibitions I'M the course of the year, and would
venture to suggest that every school gue exhibition the
evening Of the approaching anniversary the ayowed pu
pose Of raising funds to aid in the completion of the
ngton Monument, and that with this view small sum be
charged for admission trust that these suggestions will
be carried into effect throughout the country and that the
writer's calculations be fully realized in the amount which
might thus be collected for object patriotic and national
the which he refers In this city collections should
be made every WHERE and especially on the Monument
grounds where proposed that they should be taken up
the approaching Anniversary of Independence The
Clergy, too, should take interest in SO patriotic and
noble undertaking. and the Sunday preceding make
collections for this object regret that these gentlemen so
far have manifested but little interest in this natter and hope
that hereafter different will be pursued by them as
they cannot but feel like all other citizens that sense

yman must necessarily excite in every American BOSOM
Celebration in honor Of the day and Of the memory of
