FEMALE STRATEGY.

Ladies' are often called upon to display an amount
Of strategy in conversation that would do honor
even TO one Of President LIneoln's brigadierr-
made in Ave minutes, while horses cost hundred
and nty-ive dollars each. Jealous and envious
women will make remarks, and It requires a deal
Of tact to parry them adroitly, and to nonpus the
masked assailants. Lady Morgan, OF all women,
understood this art One day, when jealous dame
oOmplimented her on looking so we'll, she arehIy
replied Perhaps am better rouged than usual" {"
On another occasion a widow who was wont TO in
dulge in inslncers smiles Of benignity said: Dear
Lady Morgan, how lovely your hair Is-how do
you preserve its colorl" "By dying It, my dear, :"
was the reply, "do you want the receiptl" Itwas
Lady Morgan who once enumerated among her
visitors an American member OF Congress- (well
known in this city,) Of whom she said zone would
think he had exchanged his Bible for peerage-
list the moment he landed at Liverpool. You
should have seen his ecstAcy when presented to
Duchess and how he luxuriated beneath the shad
ow Of the strawberry leaves which adorned her

TnE WEEKS FESTIVITIES.
Lent continues TO cast Its shadow over the met
ropolitan drawing rooms, but there have never
theless been several pleasant dancing parties
during the past week, where few friends have
gone through the "horse-saurds" and the "laneers'
to piano music The diplomatic dinner at Secretary
seward's was, Of course, talked Of, and there has
been an agreeable party at the Brazilian Minister'S
house.
The graduating Of class of young dlsclples of
GaIen has been attended with the usual festive
honors-the theatres have been crowded, even the
President and members Of his Cabinet going to
enjoy the good acting; and the juveniles have
been charmed by the performances Of wyman, that
clever yentriloquist and wizard, at Odd Fellows

somewhat gloriously spent. Bravo for Averilrs

the Prince Of Wales, with Its attendant splendors
aud festivities has given rise to marvellous stories
In the English papers, but II appears that the prn-
cipal entertainments will be postponed till after
Easter, at her MSjesty's request. As more imme-
diAteiy connected with the marriage, II may be
said that celebrated West End djeweler was busily
engaged in manufacturing twenty-five splendid
breaHtpins as presents to the gentlemen attending
the wedding; these articles have His Royal High
ness's coronet the top, and the initials A. Il. A.
in diamonds, crystals amethysts to match the pins'
twelve lockets were constructing for the brides
maids. What pity that the young Prince will
not send few breast-pins and lockets over here.
PARIsIAN MARRIAGE.
Al Paris, there has been a famous wedding at
the British legation, the Viseount RRyston having
married a daughter Of Lord Cowley, the Queens
ambassador. The Emperor Napoleon and the En-
press Eugenie present. and It is narrated that
the Empress wore rich fAwn-coloTed silk, a white
bonnet, and a superb Indian CaShemere shawl, en-
broidered with gold, and reaching nearly to the
ground. When the company proceeded to the pri-
vato chapel, Lord Cowley gave his arm to her In
periAl Majesty, and the Emperor similarly honored
Lady Cowley. The bride shortly made her appear
anee attended by two bridesmaids; she was dressed
in white satin, trimmed with mArabout feathers.
The bridegroom at the same moment entered, and
both parties first made profound reverence to the
Emperor and Empress Of FrAncej after which they
acknowledged the presence Of the Supreme Being
" and the ceremony was rapidly proceeded with"
says the Court reporter. Bridal fAyors of silver
flowers and green leaves were then distributed the
Emperor placing his at once in his button-hoIe.
The Empress presented to the bride a magnificent
diamond bracelet, and then the distinguished party
enjoyed itself till a late hour in the afternoon.
