STRANGE 'cAPR1cEs OF THE fEmALEsEor.

STRANGE CAPRlCEs OF THE FEMALEsECT.-
"Nihillsts" is the name of new sect
formed among the women of St. Peters
burg. They have made their appearance
in Paris at least so says correspondent
who relates the following:
"The Tie -Deuns for the Gar, sung in the
Russian church in the Faubourgh du
koule, was attended by the elite of Russian
society, all in full dress, and as magnificent
ly adorned with jewels as for representa-
ton at court. The blaze of diamonds WAS
something marvellous, and created great
curiosity among some of the French spoc-
tstors gathered thero. But in spite of the
tremendous quantity Of loyalty and dia-
monds displayed, none Of the fair woarers
attracted the same attention as that drawn
toward two modest looking young women
who stood in the penumbra thrown by the
projecting angle Of the wall beneath the
archway Mt tho entrance of the chapel.
''Theso two fair and beautiful strangers
became tho cynosure Of all eyes, tho 'lon-
nes' ofthe assembly, the distraction which
caused the universersal gaze to wander from
the priest to tho altar and the wondrous
singers Of the choir. Their attitude, never
theless, was humbled and reserved: they
seemed to avoid, rathor than seek observa-
tion. Their custom was singular enough,
however, to attract all THO scrutiny thoy
met with; the two, fair heads cropped close,
their attire sort Of compromise between
the coat and trowsers of the male sex, will,
the most convenient portions of female
costume. A jacket descending low owe,
the hips, and closed over tho bosom by 9
row of large buttons, short, vory full
petticoat Of the same, and beneath, just
apparent above the high boots of black
shining leather, full inexpressibles, moi
gathered in, but floating juat above the
knee, and displaying about an inch of the
snow white stocking, formed their move
and singular. attire. Each held in hel
hand a low fat hat with large brim
adorned with a cord and tassel. 1t wa
soon whispered through tho chapel tina
those young ladies wero the first specimen n:
behold in Western Europe Of the new sec
formed at st. Petersburg among the
women there, and which. has increased t.
such an alarming degree that the Cover
ment is beginning to take umLrage. Ths
ladies remain unmarried; they assume tht
cares and. responsibilities ofthe malo sex
work at all kinds of manual labor; 60 to
the bourse; transact every sort Of mercan
tile business, according to the state of life
in which they have been placed by Provi-
dence. The new sect is called that OF the
tNihilists.'" :.-~

Their TRUE ODJEcT.-The New York
Herald, Of Thursday, concludes an article,
as follows: -
"But where lies the difficulty which
prevents the re-admission to Congress Of
the excluded States ? They are sufficiently
reconstructed for all practical purposes.
and why, then, arc they still excluded
Simply because the Republican leaders are
afraid that with the restoration of the out.
side Southern States, the balance of power
might prove strong enough to overthrow
tho Republican party. Hence, this con-
stiutional amendment, with two or three
sugar rlums for Buncombe, is so shaped
together with the bills depending upon it,
in regard to the disfrancliscment of rebels
and tho regulation Of representation by the
test of negro suffrage, that it will inevita-
bly, take several years to perfect the scheme
Meantime, it is expected that tho Repuli-
can party will weather the presidential
election under their close corporation
arrangements, and thus secure n GOOD
'oothold Tor an Indefinite extension Of their
term OF power, with or without the contin-
uea exclusion Of tho Southern States, as
may be found most convenient.
| This ia the schemo of the dominant
party IN Congress, and the Only way to
meet it and defeat it, and to open tho
door to Tho complete restoration of the
Union, is by defeat of the radicals in the
approaching Congressional elections. All
men OF oil parties, therefore, who are in
favor OF restoration OF the Union, or who
desire to escape the dangers Of an i'm.
per'al system on the ruins Of the Constitu.
ton, will do we'll to begin to work at once
fora revolution in the next Congress.
Shall we have radical or conservative
: majority in the next House Of Representa-.
tiVes? That is tho important question
now: before The people, for upon it may
depend the experiment ofan empire in tho
place of the great republic"

STEAMER COMMODORE In THE
STGRd.
Fearful Gale-Alarm and Excite
ment-Steamer Wrecked.

New YORK, December 2S.-Details of
the loss of the steamer Commodore, show
that those on board made very narrow
escape. Shortly after the commence
ment Of the gale, which was terrific, she
preached to, that is, the wind came SO
heavy she refused to obey her helm and
could not be kept on her course Atthis
time her bulwarks we're stove in. the for
ward decks washed, and her smoke
stacks fell. The excitement now became
intense, and all attempted to become re-
signed 70 their fate, but on every coun.
tenance was depicted utter despair.
Many engaged in prayer, and few
lost their selfpossesslon. Inside Of the
vessel steves toppled, and it was by the
utmost efforts OF the crew and others
that the vessel was prevented from burn
ina up; there was an alarm of fire, but
the aames were extinguished. At ten
o clock the fires we're all put out, and
danger from that source avoided. For
two hours the vessel dfifted at the mercy
of the waves, the captain and his pilots
being successful only in keeping her
headed nearly South, the food tide setting
her toward the Long Island shore. At
Pam, Horizons Point was made. The
gale continuing without abatement, she
gradually drilled into little bay about
two miles west Of Horton Point light
Anchors we're then dropped in about ,go
fsthoms of water Part Of her cargo had
bean thrown overheard. and the pumps
we're kept constantly at work. At the
same time tao lines Of bailers we're
formed and did admirable service. In
this condition the boat lay till daylight,
when the water gained so rapidly that it
was decided to beach the vessel, which
was done most successfully. The gale
soon become still more furiogs, Il saeh
we're possible. The life boats we're low
erred, and ems vas finally landed on the
