At the grand review in Paris, the
Princess 0belinski's robe was sea-green,
covered with tea-roses, and she wore q
Idiadem worth $4,000 francs.
The women have just carried point
lin Holland. The Minister of the In
terror has issued a decree admitting
them to the examination for the position
of assistant apothecaries, an occupation
hitherto restricted exclusively to men.
This measure viii enable country doctors
to have their prescriptions made up by
their wives or daughters, and viii thus
relieve them from the charge of a male
assistant. The decree has been Ieceiv-
| ed with a good deal of astonishment by
the Dutchmen, VINO look on this as the
beginning of systematic invasion Of
masculine privileges. t,es

England consumes / 900, 900 pounds
OF ivory annually, or the product of 8,
33S elephants. About A, 600 men are
annually killed in the elephant hunts.
A tusk weighing 10 pounds is consid-
cred first-clsss one. A short time ago
an American house cut up tusk which
was not less than nine feet in diameter,
and weighed 800 pounds. In 1851 the
same house sent over to the London
Exhibition the largest piece of sawed
Ivory ever seen; it was eleven feet in
length and one foot broad. The dear
est ivory is that which is used for bill
hard balls. Since the conquest of Al
geria by France, the ivory trade has
considerably increased in the north Of
Africa. The hippopotamus also yieIde
ivory, which is much harder and less
elastic than that of the elephant, besides
being of smaller dimensions. .ae- sa

prison Of st Lazare. One among the
poor women presented in the name OF
her companions a petition requesting
that they might be allowed to have
wider benches. Her Majesty promised
that the petition shonld be granted,
and she quilted the sale amidst tre-
lmendous cheering. As the Empress
lerosssd the courtyard she turned to the
governor of the prison and spoke about
the benches. sfhe poor women win
lonly work the better If they are com
fortably seated; and besides, their
health may suffer-. A young student
answered, 'Madame, disease even may
lensue." Whersupon doctor present
answered, 81 never remarked anything
| of the sort, madame, and have been
lin daily attendance for the last ten years
Ihere.s sThat Is scarcely a reason, doc
Itor. Such facts may occur for sixty
lysars without being remarked and yet
q single day may suffice to reveal them
