Entertainment at the Macao.
The entertainment given at the Macao,
Little Diamond Island, last evening, pre-
sented a novel combination of musical and
dramatic selections, and was most fayorab1y
xfeceived by an Interested audience. The
two readers, Miss Minnie SwayZe ant. Miss
Sarah Eliot Newman Of New York, are we'll
equipped for the novel combination they
are presenting. Miss swayze possesses a
full, well modulated voice under fine con-
troll which sets forth the emotional contents
of each dramatic selection with, adequate
effect. Miss Newman, who follows each
dramatic selection with its apnrop1 late
musical one, is a pianist, whose playing is
full of vitality and refinement. The enter
tainlLent given by these ladies differs
materially from unsteady accompanied
recitations. Each number of the pro-
gramme is in fact a double expression of a
selected emotional effect, as the music
following each dramatic reading is chosen
to intensity the picture given through
language. The entertainment is worthy of
much success.

WOMEN IN OFFICE.
Some Interesting Facts About Those
Who Are Officials in France.
London Queen.


France is often dubbed the "China OF Eu-
rope" and no doubt France is conservative in
many non political dir ctions. But, although
the champions OF women's rights have failed in
few ambitious attempts. women on the other
side OF the channel have on The whole, 10 rea-
son TO complain of their chances of obtaining
suitable, more or less Official work. and a great
stride forward has just been made within the
postal department For several months female
poStotficr clerks have been on trial In some of
the quieter Offices, and as the results have been
exceedingly satisfactory several OF the NEST i'm
porIant Paris postal Offices have now adopted
female 0flclals, ana among those must be men,
toned the HOlel de Vile office; while some Of
The busiest are thought 10 prove rather TOO
great strain upon the female constitutions,
therefore they WILL at least tor the present, con-
Time TO employ exclusively male clerks.
This is, In 8 manner, the second time the en-
ployment OF women within the Postal Depart
ment mas been sanctioned by Inc authorities,
for as early as the seventeenth VendemiaTe in
the year ID, the appointment OF women as d.
Tectresses of postal Offices In the provinces was
approved OF by the PoStnffice Department OF
That day. But the subsequent Governments OF
France did not follow 10 the footsteps of the
republic, and in the year of 1870 the number OF
women holding public appoint ments under the
state dd not exceed 5000 or 5000. The pres.
EN- republic has, however, done much 10 open
out Lew fields of Employment for women, and
the number OF women who now I'LL public Of
hces IN France is exceedingly largr and daily
increasing. he principal DEPARTMENTS where
female clerks are employed are in France, as
elsewhere, the post, lelegr ph telephones, rail
way, the Government banks ana the central
administration.
There are at present 1858 women employed
at the provincial posioftices; 1000 female tele
graph clerks; IN sixty-niue towns the tele-
phone stations are under the management Of
women, atOrding employment for 745 women.
The national savings banks employ 425 women,
etc. The railways have, however, heen the
best friends TO The women. II was the DOmbes
company which made he experiment with en-
ploying female clerks at the offices or as sta
lion mlstresses at the small stations, but grad
ually nearly all The French railway companies
have followed this example. omen are en-
