WoMAN'S RIGHTS AMONG THE HoTTEN.
ToTs.--The Elottentot females are al once
the LATEST and most ill used of women.
The priest when he married them, bleSses
them, saying" you live happy, and
year.a.year bear a son, who may live to
be a good hunter and a warrior" 1t is
needless to say this wish is not always
gratiGed, So long as her husband exists,
the Hottentot woman is the slave and
drudge of the hut. and on her devolyes
the task of providing for the sustenance
OF the family while the husband eats,
drinks, smokes. sleeps.
When the Hottentot woman becomes
widow, she must continue so for her life.
unless she chooses to purchase husband
at a price which, according TO our no.
tons, is something more than the delights
Of wife in Hottenlot matrimony would
warrant.
The Hottentot son, on coming Of age,
is presented with cudgel. with which he
is commanded TO beat his mother, and
this request is very dulifuIly complied ith
by her son, in order TO manifest his
strength and ability, just as some youth
are prone 10 evince their manhood, BY
smoking cigars and swearing prolanely,
1t is strange that the mother, though often
lainting under the cruel beating OF the
son whom she has nursed at her bosom
does not reproach him, but admires hi,
manlness and dexteriry in proportion IL
the chastisement.

FORGOT HOW TO MIX 1T.

An old fellow in Missouri, who was in
the habit of"not belonging to the Temper.

nip one day before young Virginian.
"What do you drink (" asked the latter
"Brandy and water," was the reply.

"A most delicious drink, was the an.
swer, 'and I'll show you how to make it.
as see you have mint growing almost al

duced the julep, and the old man was de-
lighted with it.
About a month after, on his return
home, the Virginian thought he would
stop at his old friends and indulge
but Judge Of his surprise when his. friend
was answered by an aged female dar'

YANKEE ENTERPRISE IN VALPARAISO
The result Of the general introduc'
tion of Americans in the cities on the
shores Of the South Pacifcs, has been 10
infuse spirit Of enterprise among the
people, and lent activity to every branch
of trade. The breakwa;er at Valparaiso is
progressing rapidly, under Yankee su,
perinlendence, and the bonded ware.
houses are rapidly rising into grandeur
under the auspices of that indeiatig2ble
American, John Brown. Another, great
enterprise, attributed 10 Americans, has
been the procurement of ice for the citi.
zens, under an exclusive contract with
the government. The appearance a
Yankee two. wheeled capin the streets OF
Valparaiso has created quite an excite.
ment among the moustached hidalgos.
and made them open their eyes with
wonder. Sewing machines. too, are a.
bout being introduced there. There
seems to be one thing more wanting, and
that is, a lit tie wholesome Yankee COM
petition with the slaggish British mail line
which plies along the coast.
