Convention of Women in Germany. f On' the 17th of this month the women of Ger many held a conference at Stutgard, but not for the purpose of discussing the question of suffrage. The points they intended to discuss they have brought together in the following pro gramme . . , - I.- To find out the best ways and means to teach young mothers how best to regulate the physical education of their children. - J. The establishment of small museums of lit erature, art and industry. These museums .would not merely contain , the best works of lit erature and art especially adapted for women, but they would principally be a kind ofschoote Or academies. Places for meetings, lectures and hq like, in which topics,, such as the . education of children and matters of domestic interest should be treated by competent women and men, if these can be prevailed upon to assist in the movement. .There would also beSunday schools for women and girls of all classes, savings banks, supply associations, offices for those that wanted places, &e. 3. The commencement of a reform in dress, chiefly directed against the vagaries of fashion, and the best ways and means to carry out this reform effectually. As a basis for this reform the following points have been accepted : a. That nothing be declared "old fashioned" which has once found itself useful and appropri ate and becoming. b. That nothing new be adopted unless it has proved itself to be both to the purpose and an swering the demands of good taste. c. That all garments and objects of toilet that are hurtful to health be put away. d. To inquire whether a largo saving might not be effected in things of dress, so that the ex penses might be made more appropriate to the iucouve. . 4. The transformation of benevolent female ia stitutions into "self-supporting and earning female institutions." JBSf A workingman was appealed to by a Radical, who was trying to persuade him it was for his personal interests to vote with that party. Laying down his hammer, and looking his ad viser in the face, he remarked: ''Under a Dem ocratic administration, I could buy a barrel of flour for three days' work and now it takes five! If you can show it is for my interests to do that, I am willing to vote with you." The Radical gave up the job. WHO WILL BE ELECTED?

Detachments, when necessary, may be made to points in the vicinity of each post; but in no case, nor on any pretext whatever, will detach ments be sent without a commissioned officer, who will be fully instructed by his ' post com mander. - 1 ' VIII. District commanders will instruct jost commanders iu their duties, and the relative po sition of the civil and military powers. They will furnish them with copies of the circulars from these Headquarters, of August 25th, and October 1st ult., (the latter which was forward ed September 15th, to District Commanders) in which the instructions of the War Department are set lorth in full. They will impress on post commanders that they are to act in aid aud co operation, and in subordination to the civil au thorities: that they are to exercise discretion and judgment, unbiased by political or other preju- oices; that their object should be exclusively to preserve the peace aud ""uphold law and order. and they must be satisfied such ia the object of the civil officer calling on them for aid, that they must in all cases where time will permit, apply for instruction to superior authority, but they must at all hazards preserve the peace, a'nd not be restrained by technical points, when, in their conscientious judgment under the rules above set forth, it is their duty to act. l'ost Com manders ou being notified of the proposed hold- aiiK oi political meetintrs. mav send an omcer. and if necessary a detachment, to watch the proceedings and see that the peace Is preserved. IX. To the people of the several States com posing the Department, the Major General com manding appeals that they will co-operate with him and the civil authorities in sustaining law and order, in preserving the peace aud in avoid ing those sceuea qt not and bloodshed, aud the wanton destruction of property aud life, which has already, in some instances, been enacted in the Department. He urges, abstinence from all inflammatory and iucendiary appeal to the pas sions; discountenancing the keeping open of liquor shops oh days of political meetings and of election; the abstaining from carrying arms, aud asscrtiug the individual right of construing laws by force ot arms. ISo just cause is ever advan ced by resort to violence. Let their be charity aud forbearance among political opponents, what ever may be the result; let each good citizen de termine that all who, uuder the law, have the right to the ballot shall exercise it undisturbed. If there are disputed points of law, let. them be referred to the courts, and let not mobs or politi cal clubs, or other irresponsible bodies, construe and undertake to execute the law. This appeal is made in the earnest hope that the Major Gen eral Comiiiandiug can rely on the good sense and correct judgment of the mass of the people, and that he will not be compelled to resort to the exercise of the power with which he is intrusted, and which he w;ll most reluctantly employ. But he thinks it his duty to make . known, that so far as the power under his command will admit, he will not permit; the peace to be broken, aud that he will not be restrained in the conscien tious discharge of his duty by technicalities of laws made when the present anomalous condi tion of affairs were neither anticipated or provi ded for.
