Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is The
Centennial year. 1t is also the year in which
an Opposition House of Representatives, the
first since the war, will be in power at Wash
ington and the year Of the twenty-third
election Of President Of the United States.
All of these events are sure to be of great in-
terest and importance, especially the two lat
ter; and all of them and everything connect
ed with them will be fully and freshly report

The Opposition House of Representatives,

best family newspaper in the world, and we
shall continue to give in its columns large
amount of miscellaneous reading, such as
stories, tales, poems, scientific intelligence
and agricultural information. for which we
are not able to make room in our daily edi-
ton. The agricultural department especially
is one of it's prominent features. The fashions
and so are the markets of every kind.

How American Women are En-
suited in Milan.

Brooklyn Eagles Milan Correspondence
The MiIanese ladies do not promenade
the streets singly, save in rare cases; they
are generally accompanied by compan-
ion Of their own sex-mother or sister,
or, il with a gentleman, he is generally
husband, father, or brother. 1t is not
considered the proper thing for Milan
csc lady to promenade the street with a
gentleman not q relation. Certain it is
that, when one is seen alone, she is apt to
be aCcosted by every Italian she meets.
American and English ladies, and partic-
ularly the former, are subject to insult
and annoyance from the Milanese gentle
men (?), who think nothing Of walkingup
TO and accosting them as familiarity as
they would member Of the demi-monde
on Broadway. This is the result OF the
action OF some American girls who have
been students OF music here at divers
times, and who, away from home,
acted in such manner as to bring
disgrace and contumely on the name Of
American womanhood. An Italian docs
not think he insults an American lady by
inviting her to become his mistress even
il he has not had the slightest encourage
ment to make such proposition. Amer
lean ladies who come here to study music
seem TO them to be fair game, and if they
are without protection they are pursued
remorselcssly, and they either succumb,
or are glad to flee from tho city to save
their reputation. A case in point was re-
lated to me a few days ago OF where an es-
Unable and handsome young American
lady was prosecuted by \ wealthy baron
here, who, finding that his advances were
treated with scorn, used to send his chr.
riage, a well.known equipage, to stand in
front Of tho ladys house for two or three
hours after midnight. The lady was
eventually obliged 10 flee from the city to
escape his prosecutions. That is SAM
pie Of what young American woman,
unprotected, has to expect in Milan.
