Woman as sinsie-handed TaIker,

Speaking Of the tender sex, Doctor
Oliver Wendell Holmes says it is pecuI
lar for certain form of dialogues which
is ready, spontaneous, automatic, self.
sustaining and continuous-and he hopes
TO be forgiven for telling the way in
which this fact was forced upon his no
tice, thus:
Il was passing through a somewhat
obscure street at the west end Of our city
year or two since when my attention
VAS attracted TO a narrow court bv a
sound of voices. and small crowd of
listeners. Froufstwo open windows on
The opposite sides of the court projected
the heads and n considerable portion of
the persons of two Of the sex in ques-
tion-Datives. both Of them. apparently
of the Green Isle. famous for shamrock s
"uu ruIIIai"t'-. IT., we oppnoed in
argument, if that is argument IN WHICH
each OF the two parties develop his prop
osition without the least regard to what
the other is at the same time saying
The question involved was the personal,
social. moral, and in short, total stand
ing and merit of the two controversial
lists, aud their respective families. But
the strange phenomenon was this: The
two women, as if by precoucerted agree
ment, like two instruments playing a
tune in unison, were pouring forth ST.
mutaniously n calm, steady, smooth
flowing stream Of mutual undervaIuation.
TO apply mild phrase to il; never stop
ping for punctuation, and hardly giving
themselves time to get breath between
lis long drawn clauses.
X ! confess that the recoIec
ton of the two women. drifting upon
their vocabuarss rs on shoreless ocean
filed me a; first with apprehension as TO
the possible future Of our legislative as
ST mblies. But, in view Of what our
own sex accomplishes in the line Of mu
tual vituporation, perhaps the feminine
arrangement. by which the two save
time BY speaking at once, aud it is alike
impossible for Ether TO hear the other
and for the audience TO hear them both,
might be considered an improvement.
