The day was fine, the nla.ee selected was a beautiful shady grove, and every thing would seem lo conspire to make the day puss off agreeably and pleasantly to all. Ou arriving at the 'put, we found a large number gathered, some "equipped as the law di ' recta,'' others apparently idle spectators.

The roll was oiled, and after t going through some evolutions which it would be : difficult to describe, they were marched back to ' the shade, sod the candidates were informed that they now had an opportunity of addressing the as. ! snWud multitude. 'A ring was soon formed, a Leodi was brought forward, and a man of mode I rate t ie monnted it.

Madame Jeannie De'roin, a Socialist lady in Paris, is, it is said, one of the many political aspi rants of France. This lady gave a toast at a So cialist banquet to "The Social Advancement of Woman," and she argued against there being any longer delay in freeing women from their slavery, and in allowing them to enjoy the same political rights as are possessed by men. She complained that a great fault had been commuted in the revo lution of February, in not proclaiming the enfran chisement of the fair sex the men having, she laid, kept all the privileges to thenr. Ives. We believe Willis is the author of the story that, in some portion ol the continent of Europe, the la diet are beginning to cultivate mustaches, which are probably considered an addition to the beauty of the fair, or the dignity of a dark countenance. In most countries, both in Europe and America, there Is also developed, in the same gentle sex, an occasional desire for "the breeches," which a re nowned lady has carfied so far as not only to ob tain that domestic supremacy whicli is signified by this ancient and popular melaphor, but to wear sometimes the identical article, to the great scan. dal of all grave and meditative persons. We have ourselves teen an article, of female atti.sj which strongly resembles that inasculins garment, a "jsct" a tiling which a man might well receive from a weman, but which seems scarcely in good taste when bestowed by a man Uon a woman.

WALKER AND LITTLE JOBS. During the reign of the lust immaculate admin istration, there was a young landsman, a clerk in the Treasury Department by the name of Brown quite a pet of the late Secretary Walker. After the result of the Presidential election was known, it became desirable to provide permanently for young Brown. What was to be done? M r. Wal ker naturally looked to his favorite asylum for dis tressed friends the revenue marine. He could draw as much money as he pleased for the revenue service from his collectors before it went into the Treasury, So provision was lo be made ou this estHblishment ror young Brown. Forthwith, this treasury clerk, who had never studied salt water, was made third lieutenant in the revenue service. But this was not enouir1. He was detailed on special duty, and made bearer of import mt despatches to C.pt. Frazer, of t e revenue service, then on his way to California. So young Bnwn received an order on the collec- nr of New' York for an advance of three month's pay for an advance ef sia; hundrtd dollars, on ac count of his expenses, and a settlement of the eec ond three months' pay upon his family, and off he started as the bearer of important dvspatches to Capt. Frazer. But the despatches ay, the despatches! what were the despatches which he was sent with after that old salt, Cupt. Frazer ? They conveyed the information that desertions were taking place at San Francieco and took pl.ice.and t rouiinuni- Cate tne facts, with his advice in Ihe pruuii.es to Capt. Frazer. Now, next to taking Ceininodorj Perry lor the law-adviser of Judge Mason, we thi;.k muBi stand the selection of ynnng Brown for tt.is special and peculiar service. Capt. Frazer hardly required that Mr. Brovn thouMbe 'scut. all ' hi? w y from Washington to find out for him that .the. t.til ore left their ships because fiiey found7 rt.ot.; .--e!v t in the neighborhood of the gold ui:n4, and; that, they did it, as is wejl known to Commodore Perry and oihcr" tali-water jurists, by the process of t ilt ing leg bail. And yet, for-sonth, all the way to California young Brown must gn, tu pick up this information for Capt. Frazer, whom he overlook at Rio de Janeiro, and who has been doubtless highly and deeply editied by his interesting com munication on Ihe subject of deseniont. After Brown had made himself familiar with this interesting subject he was at liberty to proceed to Oregon, but with the especial understanding that he was to expect nothing on that score from the Government except his pay, his passage mon ey, hif utual expenses, and "incidental charges !" 'I :na it. giving a shrewd man a pretty wide margin. "I icident.il charges !" Why we know a man, and a pretty great man, ton, who hat made an enor mous fortune out of the Government in this mere matter of incidental charg?s. But none of this money came out of t!ie Treas ury, indeed. None of the much money that Mr, Walker expended on tho revenue tervice came out of the Treasury. He fingered it before it got into the Treasury ; and honce it wat that the service had grewn so monstrously, and had become sach a burden to the country, that Mr. Meredith wat compelled, for the mere lack of means, to make a very large reduction in it. Among the victims, we suppose, was young Brown. But he had got a fair start in the world- he wat act down in Cal ifornia, with rocks in both pockets, and a fair chance at the gold mines ; and if Uncle Sam had to pay for it, it was only one case of a thousand just like it, in which our uncle was called upon to suffer during the last four years. We shall have occasisn to recur to this subject again. Young Brown's story it striking, but it it not peculiar. There are some more left of the same tort. And we hope that the Locofoco clerkt who still crowd the Treasury Department, standing between the people and the light will furnish the particulars of all tuch cut t for the Opposition journals.
