The Ladies of america.

1t is strange that the compressed condition of
women should be more vehemently Insisted
upon and loudly deplored in the United States
than IN any other part of the civilized world. Is
1t because the appetite for homage grows by
what 1t feeds on, that the profound respect with
which the ladies' of America are treated by the
opposite sex fails to satisfy their champions
Relieved OF the rough cares of life waited upon
caressed, all but worshpped deferred to in
public, supreme at home; reigning over the
hearts and exercising powerful although mac

kind the queen bees of the human hive, for
whose satisfaction we toll, and scheme. and
hoard, oftentimes periling life that they may
enjoy its comforts and luxuries-what would
they more?
The greatest evil that could be inflicted on the
gentle creatures wssld be to grant them all the
privileges claimed for them by their self-cousti-
tuted representatives. Their prestige would
be gone. Jostling Change, bidding with
us IN the market, arguing with us at the bar, le-
gislating with us in the senate, sharing, or try
ing to share, with us all the labors now imposed
upon the tougher muscles and harder minds of
men, they would soon lose the refinement, the
dellcacy, the moral beauty, and even the person.

admiration. We should no more g bow down

Rich Specimen Of Exasgera,;on.

The following article from the Louisville Jour
nal is rare specimen of the hyperbolical re-
presentations SO common among modern writers
The virtues and vices of most men are exaggera-
ted by their friends and opponents, but we think
Prentice, in this article, has exceeded ANYTHING
we have seen for some time:
The TERRoRs OF UGLINEss-The last num-
Der of the Democratic Review is orpamented ny
with portrait of Mr.. Bennett of the New York
Herald. 1t must be confessed that Bennett is
not handsome man. The Louisville Journal
pokes fun at his likeness in the following ptiless
style:
There's one thing we will readily admit
and that is. that If Benefits portrait be correct
he is the ugliest of the Democratic editors For
a while we doubted whether he or a certain
neighbor of ours is the ugliest mortal. but the
twist in the eyes of Bennett decided the contest
in his favor. We congratulate our neighbor
that there is editor uglier than himself in
the Democratic ranks.
Benefits portrait is terrific Such thing
ought never 10 be painted or daguerreotyped.
1t ought to be considered a penal offence to
make anything SO revolving to all our ideas of
proprlety. No man has right to monopolize
so much ugliness. If Benefits ugliness could
be distributed over thousand faces. il would
make each of them intensely. hatefully ugly
lie ought not 10 be permitted to 90 into the
street without blanket over his awful frontis-
York children die of commissions since Bennett
Is permitted to walk abroad with uncovered
face. We once heard of a mans face that was
so ugly that it was placed on andirons for the
purpose of frightening children from the fire
with much effect No child dared TO approach
the andirons, and the liability to combustion from
such cause was greatly lessened If Bennetrs
ugly likeness were stamped on fre-places, the
effect would be decidedly bad, for the children
would not dare to 60 near enough to the fire to
keep warm, and would become fros. bitten and
perhaps frozen to death. We cannot conceive
oil any reason why any thing should be as ugly
as Bennett. He is uglier than half-starvec
hyena. He is Uglness perfected. There is
thoroughness about his ueliness which defies
competition When Mrabeau described himself
as tiger that had had the small pox, he placed
a very ugly idea in every body's mind; but it
was beautiful when compared with Benefits
face When Appelles made his beauty, his
Venus he took an eye from one woman, a nose
from another mouth from the third and so on
until the Venus was complete in her more than
earthly beauty. Now if any Appelles, or artist
OF any appeation wished to make the most in
dubitably perfect representation of ugliness. he
wonld not be compelled to take features from
several very ugly persons, but all he would be
compelled TO do would be to get Benefits face
and the enterprise would be accomplished
