account of the bearing Of the Danish Off.

"The Danish officers are heroes. They

LADIES BEwARE.-The funniest descrip-
ton is given OF American habits and fash
ions, in the book recently published by the
Japanese ambassadors on their arrival home,
at Jeddo. They tell their astonished
countrymen, in the work in question, that
our ladies walk just like mani! What
ciU our sylphs think Of that? 1t is added
that Sin order to appear taller they wear a
high bonnet on their heads - Ladies, can
you stand Such-en-i nsiuuat,on without
growing as angry as your sweet tempsrs
viii. permit? How could Master Tommy,
who was so fondled and petted by our
bellies, allow his cont,eres to so lraduce his
friends? Worse than all, the ambassadors
say our ladies' dance very much" 'hang
on the arms of the men," and zone sees the
men frequently walk along the street IN the
arms of mountaineering with arms in
terlocked with those Of women. The
Eastern rogues conscientiously add, how
ever, 1--WE believe them to be their own
wives" The most shocking observations
they make, though, are the following
american women in general enjoy too
much liberty, and the fashionable ones
wear the same dresses as those of the lower
class. The dress Of the women, especially
at night, is not always decent" How the
ambassadors obtained the latter piece of
curious information is the question. As
they were respectable persons and kept
good moral company, they could have wit.
messed, here, nothing to warrant their state
ment; but who is the wag, then. that has
so much imposed upon them? We do not
know that our ladies care, espc cally, what
opinions the Japanese entertain about them
or the modesty of their robes de mutt but
it is just as well for them to see what kind
of athing Japanese gratitude is, and:

The recent speech Of Governor Fanes,
extracts from which We publishsd recently,
is regarded as a very strong evidence that
the old North State is on the verge Of q
revolution The speech, though singular
for being an argument against secession
from the Confederacy by one who origi-
nAlly opposed secession from the Union,
manifssny shows that Governor Vance is
conscious Of being on the weaker side.
The elections in North Carolins, this
summer, viii determine the position Of
the people.
Governor Vance declares that North
Carolina is essential to Lee; that his
railroad connection through thst State
once cut there is no such thing as holding
Virginia. We look to General Grant to
prove the proposition.

The Working wOmens' Protective Society
On Monday evening such an Organiza
ton was formed in New York City.
The preamble Of the Constitution ststeI
the object Of the Society to be to aid tht
women:
1. By securing legal protection from
frauds and impositions, free Of expense.
2. By appeals, respectfully but urgent.
ly made, to employers for wages proper
tened to the cost Of living, and for such
shortening Of the hours Of labor as is due
to health and the requirements Of house
hold affairs.
8. By seeking new and appropriate
spheres Of labor in departments not now
occupied by them.
4 By sustaining a registery system,
through which those out Of work may be
assisted in finding employment.
8. By appealing to the community at
large for that sympathy and support which
is due to the otherwise defenseless condi-
ton Of the working women.
A statement Of wages received for vsri-
GUS kinds OF work was made. It was prov
ed that the working women Of New York
receive mott Of them, for twelve to fifteen
hours labor, the small pittance Of sixteen
cents day for making drawers; for bsv-
erssek pockets, twelve and a half cents q
day; for COARSE flannel army shirts, seven
cents; hne white cotton ssoks, -EhiFtystwo
cents; for more than twelve hours labor.
The revelations we're frightfal. Poor
women in cities have q sad and bitter lot.
Blind Mr.. Milburn, addressing the meet
ing, said:
Was it true, he asked, that in the year
Of grace one thousand eight and sixty four
eighteen centuries after Christ, we were
assembled for the frst time to organize
such society. He had read Hoods song
of the shirt, and had congratulated him
self that It vas not true Of our America
and Of our New York. But the lie had
been given to his hope. There we're men
ready to crush the poor women into power
