FEMALE CHANGEs.-Under this title, that queer
paper the Albany Dutchman has the following queer
bit of moralzing, the truth of which is almost uni
versal in civilized countries:
From the ages of twelve to fifteen, the changes
which take place in female are greater than those
which take place in the male between twelve and
twenty. Till girl gets in her teens she is noisy
and fond of fun as her brother-the only difference
between the two being the quality of the hair and
the length of their flannel Three years after this
Presto what change! The school girl of yester-
superseded by curling-irons. Moore's Melodies have
overcome her desire for picture books while her for
mer playmates are looked upon as mere boys" A
bout these days she also becomes more tidy and re-
served. Her tresses no longer wanton in the wind,
but are done up Ia Jenny Lind. The noise that she
used to make has sunk to sentiment, while her love
of music and moonlight has quite driven from hel
head all recollection of the old cellar door she used
to slide down on. Queer, isn't it o.

Noah Webster and Politics.

A late Spanish paper gravely informed the public
that Noah Webster was Secretary of State, whereat
there was some amazement among those who having
heard of his burial, had honestly believed him to be
dead But if the aforesaid Noah is not now and new
has been Secretary of State, friend of the Com
mercia at least, is determined that he shall be a
great political authority and his dictionary Eng
ish classic" from the perusal of which entertaining
book the President is fresh" and being so must be
right upon all subjects Such certainly is the tenor of
our cotemporarys remarks in reply to our article
upon the blunder made by the President in confound
ing intercession with Intervention.
We would venture to remark that the common
of mankind has given to certain words when
employed in particular manner, or in connection
with particular subjects, definite and technical
meaning which is their only meaning in that con-
nection, and that among the words which have at
tanned such meaning Specification those in
question. Intervention between nations has al
ways been understood, and is now understood by
everybody to mean authoritative interference
coupled with the assertion of right to interfere.
Intervention applied to Hungary is SO understood
and We will venture to say that it has never been
confounded with mere mediation or the tender of
friendly Offices.
Tnercession is not interference. 1t claims right
to interfere 1t calls in question act of the gov
eminent to which it is addressed 1t implies no I'M
frendliness but the contrary it dsclaims interior
ence or question. and asks favor to friend what
it does not demand as right due to power. Offers
of mediation are frequently made by friendly pow
ers France offered hers between this country and
Portugal, and We believe of our claims against
the latter are now in the hands of Louis Napoleon
for arbitration but who ever called that interven-
ton and yet mediation is of the definitions Civ
en- to that word by Noah Webster.
If our really venerable" contemporary of the Com
mercial will only think little he will the alb
surdity of bringing up distorted dictionary definitions
to decide political questions. We do not care much
about the matter, bnt if we lay claim to anything
it is to knowledge of the words of the English Ian
guage, and, without being "sapient," we are con
scious of being right. AS for the miserable sneel
about patriots, Ireland, &C., let it pass; neve
reply to such things, and they really do not deserve
reply. We are content with showing that thu
Presidents extreme fear of intervention led him t.
confound it with quite another thing. The right
and wrongs of the other parts of the subject ma.
