AMERICAN FEMALE EDUCATION. What? and by whom
A Lecture by r. w. Cushman, A. NJ, Principal of the
Mount Vernon Ladies' School, Boston. Boston: John
P. Jeweu & Co
1t is not the size of book that constitutes
its value. A few pages, like this pamphlet of
some u pages l8mo. may embody more prac-
teal instruction than many heavy tome.
Mr.. Cushman's lecture was delivered before
the Columbian Association of Teachers, at the
Smithsonian Institution in this city. He was
we'll known as successful teacher here of
female boarding school. Having had occasion
to observe the undue confidence of Protestants
in the education of nunneries, and made female
education the subject of careful thought, he
has here propounded his views, and expressed
his convictions as to what ought to be the edu..
cation of the females in this country. This he
discusses under the general heads-What is
Educations What is proper to female eduea-
ton? What should characterize the education
of this country particularly? Under the first
branch of his subject he defines education as
that which forms and dra,cs forth, or moulds,

a FIRE broke out about half past nine On Monday
morning last in q grass house near the beach IN rear Of
Mr.. Yincent's carpenter shop, and before the engines
could get on the ground, seven thatch houses were
consumed, probably all not worth over ssl2OU. This
is the first opportunity that the new engine has had
for trial at a fire, and it worked well. The quantity
of water and the force with which it threw it, tearing
off the thatch roofs like an axe, was noted by every
body. Co. number 1. have reason 10 be proud OF
their machine. Engine Co. No. 2 and the Chinese
Engine were also On the ground, and did good service
in confining the FIRE to narrow limits.

SuGAR.-The prospect of a good Sugar crop in
Louisiana is very poor. The severity of the winter
killed both seed and plans cane to a great extent, and
through an attempt has been made to get cane from
Cuba for planting, only three ship loads have been OBJ
tained-theS Spanish Government, from selfish motive
purely, interdieting further shipment. The sugar
planters upon the highlands between Bayou Sara and

planted their fields with cotton.

AMERICAN HUMOR.

The audience at Smith & Nixon's Hall last eve.
ming was quite large, and the lecture by S. S. Cox,
occupied an hour and three-quarters in its delivery.
The lecturer commenced by announcing as his sub
iect the Irregularities of American Humor," and
stating that it was not his object to make his audi
ence laugh, but only to show them the manner of
their being pleased. He defined the term humor-
showed its origin-the various changes of signif-
cation it had undergone, and the distinction be-
tween it and wit. The purpose of humOr was to
mingle, like the juice of the grape, with the blood,
to warm the heart and fructify che life with gene
rous fruitage.
One example of American exageration, (which
was one form our humor took, was the Declare.
ton of Independence, which had been called a self
evident Leland SO it was.
The black man was more susceptible to this hu-
NOR than the white man just as the charcoal gave
scintillations under the blow Iipe at q less heat
than the diamond, though chemically identical.
Mrs. Stowe had shown more genuine American
humor than all the Sam Slicks and Jack Down
ings. Irving was not an American humorist-he
was more English than American, and more cos.
mopolitan than either. Franklin stihed his humor
in the Addisonian style. lie was too earnest for a
humorist.
American humor was found in our newspapers,
inside and Observation-Disclosures and oil; and in
our statesmen las Houston John Van Buren,, Danl
s. Dickinson and Thos. Corwin. That was the
charm which drew the crowd-tbe az gumenfum ad
risumj II was better if it had point, but perhaps not
more effective. Ridicule never hurt tho honest

W0MANS RIGHTS.


ss.l aerret Smith recently addressed a letter to Mrs.
Elirai eth G.. Stanton, in Which he expressed hi.
doubts, whether woman is yet sufficiently selfreli.
ant to emancipatc herself from her present depon.
dency and bond &c. }lo thinks those who have
the lead in the reform have not adopted the right
methods to secure success. Especially he insists
that woman's present dress is one of the greatest
obstacles in the way Of her success.
lie says,
"Were woman to throw off the dress, which, in
tho eye Of chivalry and g~allantry, is so well adap,
ted to womanly gracelulnoss and woinnnly help

not hut that ~chiyalry and gallantry would nearly
or quite die out. No longer would she present
] herself to man, now in the bewitchinG character
of q play-tbing, a doll, an idol, and now in the de-
graded character of his servant. But be would
confess her transmutation into his equal; and,
therefore. all occasion for display of chivalry and
gallantry toward her on the one hand. and tyranny
on the other. would have passed away. Only let
woman attire her person Gtly for the whole battle
Of llfe-that great and often rough battle, which
she Is as much bound to fight as man is, and the
common sense expressed in the change will put to
flight all the nonsensical fancics about her superb
ority to man, and all the nonSensical fancies about
her inferiority to him. No more will then be
beard OF her being made Of purcr material than
he is made of; and, on the contrary, no more will
then be heard of her being but the complement of
man, aud its taking both a man and a woman 1.-THE

Mrs. Frances D.. Gage, Of St. Louis, has replied
very ably to Mr.. Smiths article, as has also the
Lady to whom the letter was addressed We have
room only for the latter.
