Dress OF Young French Girls.

A habit prevails in France in regard to The dress
of young unmarried ladies in the wealthier classes
entirely different from our own system that it is
worthy of mention. All young ladies. till the day
of their marriage, must dress plainly and cheaply-
they must not even in company, wear jewelrye
founces or ribbons to any extent. The mother may
carry into company ten times the value that her
daughter can. And it is astonishing how the old
women OF France do dress. One might very welf
take their modesty- dressed daughters at their side
for family instructress favorite servant. Not
only must the daughters dress plainly and modestly
but they must never move out of sight of their meth
ers or chaperonss nor speak to gentleman without
permission, until they married; then custom all
lows them to make up for lost time, and far as
have been able to observe, they do make it up with
a vengeance The study of the fashion is very apt
to become at once mania with them. and unless
they gratfed to the full extent of their desires,
the husband very often becomes a sufferer in more
ways than one A Frenchman, however, cannot re-
sist the fsscn"tons of French woman, and he gen
orally yields to all her wishes, if he sacrifices
his happiness in other particulars. A more inde-
peudent exacting, diplomatic, snowy race of mar
ried women cannot be found. The young womer
are units in society.-Letter from Paris.

An Exciting scene.

A few days since on board the steamer from

passengers. Our attention was drawn to the nnu-
sual number of passengers flock below on deck with
the captain and two three ofcers of the boat we
Joined the crowd in search of incident to drive
away the naonotony of steamboat trip. Upon ar
riving at the spot which seemed the center OF the
excitement, found man in Quaker like attire,
sitting upon large chest, declaring that it should
not be broken open unless they killed him. Soon

"Oh, dear let me out,' came distinctly from the
chest as if in apparent sufocation.
Mate" said the Captain, bring some men;
take that person of that chest and break it open'
The person showing fight, was seized by the pas
sengers, oil believing that he was carrying off Mr..
Darkey. contrary to law made and provided. The
mate seized an iron bar and forced it between the
lid and body of the chest.
"Oh, don't, you'll kill me,'' says the stifed voice

:" Hold out few moments longer" says good

Quite intense excitement noJssraised in the,

from the old clothes with which it filed, and mo-

after let into the mystery by the captain, who in

of the proceeding.

The reasonableness and pacabilty of the natives
were, on one occasion, evinced III rather remarka-
bic manner at Chusan, while was there. An Eng
shn1an had come across some wild ducks in the ca
nal inside the city at which he fired with ball, all his
shot having been previously expended The bullet
missed the birds, and gancing from the water, killed
an old Cinnamon, who was sitting at his own door,
enjoying his pipe.
The unfortunate sportsman Mortified al the res uk
of bis silly ughessness, hurried away take cou-
sci with his friends, who recommended him to try to SET
tie the matter with the relatives of the deceased to pre-
vent their complaint from being laid formally before
the authorities who would be obliged TO award heavy
punishment for such reckless carelessness. With
this view. one Of his friends despatched to visit the
amyito condoe with them for their loss and to explain
how thoroughly it was the result of accident. He de-
plored the unhappy circumstance which had deprived
the family of so valuable and 30 respectable men-
ber and pointed out the cheering fact that he was
very old, and in the natural of things, could
not have been expected TO live much longer, and that
pecunary recompense should be made to console the
family for few months society they might have an.
tlcipated enjoying with him. They admitted that he
was old, very old, and as he could not have lived
long, they mentioned hundred dollars, a sum
likely TO have good effect in assuaging the bitterness
of their affiiction.

ceang his satisfaction pointed out that the deceased
was so old that he could hardly have estimated his

he had died very quiet and easy DEATH and that very
