THE WOMEN OF (HOLLAND ''Ex-Governor Anthony of Rhode Island, editor of the Providence Journal, is at pres ent abroad and writing rery interesting let ters to hisi paper about people and! things jn Europe as he sees them. At latest , ac counts he was in Holland and appears to have been muctt impressed with what he observed and beard there-j He savs that the shops there are fitted with foreign arti cles but contain very few of domestic pro duction. He describes as. the most singu lar and. noticeable home product of Hol land, the bead dressesses bf the women A plaVbf gold he savs,! is fitted.' to . the head, covering it almost like a close hel-J - met, coming across the forehead, and sprea ding out into two wings at the sides. Over ' these are worn curious caps of a kind of Isee. 'ifie women "pride themselves on ' these ornaments, and often make conside rable sacrifices to obtain the in. The are transmitted from mother to daughter, t like the hereditary jewels of a countess. t The following extract from the letter re ferred to, will be read with interest : ... A singular custom obtains among- the : servant girls and women of the humbler classes, in the manner of their visiting pub lic places, and on fetes I and gala days Dutch propriety will not allow them logo alone, and female vanity land curiosity of Course will not allow them to stay away pot that these qualities are any stronger in their feminine, than in their masculine developments," in Holland or any where else. The Dutch girls Aire the young men to go with them,- and pay their gallants according to the value of their services, thus securing their best attention. A good looking fellow with plenty of brass but tons, ftnd with agreeable manners, of course finds the- most constant employment and . the best "prices. When I heard of this cus torn, I was inclined to charge it upon the lack of personal charms in the Dutch dam- r sels. It Fequired only a short walk through the streets of Rotterdam to overthrow this theory. The women of .the humble class in Holland are remarkable for their good looks, far surpassing those of England and France. They have a! freshness of com plexion, a jaunty trimness of figure, and a pleasant expression of the face that is al- . ways greeable and often rises to positive beauty. 1 Lis enect is increased by toe neatness of their dress. Probably the hab its of Cleanlines in which they are educa ted, are not without influence in producing this comeliness of personal appearance. But 1 think the women of Holland are na turally handsome. I saw a woman trund ling , wheel-barrow in Rotterdam whose natural beauty, in a befitting dress it could hardly have been neater. or more picturesque would have won admirers in the gayest drawing room. A young gen tleman who was with me end whose idfas, like my own, were shocked at such un seemly labor by one of the gentler sex, declared, in the natural impulse of his gallantry, that he waj disposed to relieve her of the burden. But the barrow, was heavy and the girl seemed used to it; so my friend's resolution! went the ; way of good, resolutions generally, and the girl went: the way of Dutch damsels, a living picture for the advocates of the right of women to usurp the occupation of men. A MOB IN THE CRIMEA. William Russell, the historian of the day of Bala k lava, he who told the fearful tale or the disastrous winter of '45,55, has been ignominiously mobbed from the Crimea. The New York Tribune says this was in consequence of his letters about the drunk ennese in the British camp and his recom " tnendation in order to abate it to retain 6d. per day out of the pay of the soldiers and phce it in the Savings Bank to their credit. " After stating that the sober men in camp took proper measures to express their dis approbation of the course of Mr. Russell, the Tribune says : ' '. The drunken party took a more summa ry course. They assembled in force, storm ed his hot, ruined bis property, and "it is said personally maltreated the worthy cor respondent of Printing House Square.. When Mr. Russell applie I to headquarters for redress and protection, his request met with no attention. Mr. Russell had from the first been very obnoxious to the major ity of the British officers on account of his 'exposure of their professional shortcomings, ' .and they were only too glad that the com mon soldiery had - treated him in a way their own position prevented them from do ing. Mr. Russell has consequently been obliged to quit the Crimea, we fear, forev er. These facts have not yet been 'made public in the London papers, but have ooz . ed out in the gossip of the Clubs.: I ; THE ICE BRIDGE AT NIAGARA FALLS. For a week past the communication be tween this village and the Canada shore . has been uninterrupted. ' The large body of ice which had formed across the ferry, for above a week ago, ho s become thicker, and is consequently safer for pedestrians. The ice is probably from twenty to thirty ''feet thick, and perhaps more. The cross- - inz is perfectly sate, and tne view which can now be obtained of the cataract is un surpassed. Sucb an opportunity as is now presented for obtaining a front view of the falls rarelv occurs. f i. .-- i Previous to Saturday ice had formed up , to Goat Island; and the landing could be mane iron the Canada side. 1 Ins is a c;r cu mstance of verv rare occurrence. We ? are. informed that such a thing has not bap opened for the last twenty or twenty five ; years. Niagara jbau, Gazelle,' Jan. .16. ""EARLY LOVE AND Latp if titRTAflR -The Cincinnati Columbian relate the ... following: -.--: . .a . : .. - A couple", each of whom was over seven ty years of age, were a night or two ntra united in the bonds of wedlock, at one of . our principal hotels. I hey bad been lov. ers in the spring time of life bat circum stances separated them. Each married. raised a family, lost a mate and then re married; and, finally, having lost the aec t. nd mate, and met the ir first love, they con- eluded "to travel down the hilt . of life to gether at its foot." ' They were both fraif. tottering and white-headed but the .fire of love still burnt brightly in their hearts. f- Prom (he Albany Pulie Tribune A "TALLER" CAT WITH BRASS BUTTONS.

Hall look the advire, and on Tuesday, re'urned lo town on the Hudson River Katlrnad. He came up in the 5 P. M. train and got home about 10 I 2. He was met on the step by ihe house dog, who wagged his tail, and when the door was opened by the servant girl, accompanied . -him -'up stairs." Mr, Hall lound Mrs. Hall ft ill up and -dressed.

Having examined the load, nnd adjusted the caps he advanced towards the bed room, preceded by Carlo, who poked his n0ie under ihe bedcteiid, nnd gave a yelp that waked the baby that ihe nurse had in the next room. Mr. Hall dropped oir hi knees. Mr. hall then leaned over his hand, by this means enabled himself l set as lar under the bed as Carlo did.

We should not wonder if "the jailer cot with Ines but ions," had to come out about ten thousand dollars. ; , - SOUTH CAROLINA POLITICIANS. i A writer for the New York Evening Post says: . "South Carolina has- lust the j osition it once held. Formerly, unless an adminis tration stood squarely upon their platform, none of its prnenineni men cuuld be induc ed to accept office under it Now, it is said, the leaders of its politics are as grce dy for federal promotion, and as willing to compromise for it, as those of any other section." ; . " . , , - " . The Post, we think -we hope is mis taken in supposing that South Carolina politicians have slided into the slough of federal office-seeking. Doubtless that jour nal is glad to believe such a decline in the pround feeling of the Slate, ami is ready to attach an exaggerated value lo slid ht Indi cations. The people of South Carolina will hold to severe account any public man who shall seek to strip them of this honesly woo and proudly worn civic crown. ?- j. Charleston Mercury. AMENDMENTS JO THE STATE CONSTITU . TION OF PENNSYLVANIA. :" t t In the Pennsylvania State Senate a few days since, Mr. Crabb submitted several n mend merits to the State constitution. ' The fir3t provides that 'no person born in o- for. eiga land, or .who may owe allegiance to, or is a subject or citizen of a foreign pow er orgovernraent, and who shall be natu ralized on or after the fourth day of July, Anno Domini one thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight, shall be eligible to- vote at any political or public election in this Com monwealth, until ha shall have resided un der the government of ths United States a period of at least twenty-one-years." WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE FOR THE NEGRO. The New York Observer, in a powerful article upon the past and present condition of ihe Negro race in this country, holds the following . language, which - contains facts of the most iacontroveruble -character. A few plain statements like these, by drawing the iniml at once to the true state of the case, are worth mre to overthrow ifie fine spun theories of the. Abolitionists, than a. thousand lengthy addresses, how ever clear tn argument Comparisons like these, kill at once the effect wt all the Un cle Toms that were ever written: When the ancestors of those negroes were torn from their homes in- Africa, by the slave-traders of Old England and New England, and plac d under the influence of Christianity al the South, they were a mong the most degraded and miserable of the human species, slaves of cruel masters, the victims of bloody superstitions, believers in witch crat and worshippers of the dev il. ' ."' ;.' And what now is the condition of their descendants? Several years ago more than 200,000 of them were members of Protes tant evangelical churches in the sl.ivehold Uig Slates! About 10,000 American ne groes, trained chiefly t the South, 'trans planted to Liberia, now rule nearly 200, 000 natives of Africa" and through their schools and churches are spreading the light and love of ihe gospel in that land of darkness and heathanisrn. It is true that more than nine-tenths of the negroes at the South are still slaves; but is slavery under Christian m isters in America., the same evil with slavery under heathen tyrants in Africa? Degraded as these slaves may still be, compared with the sons of the pilgrims of New England, or even with the mass of laborers jn some of the enlightened countries of Europe, can 8,000.000 or 1,000,000 negroes, bond or free, be found in any part of the world, who can compare for good condition, physical, intellectual and moral, with the 3,000,000 slaves at the South? Has Christianity, aid ed by all the wealth of British Christians, done ns much during the last twenty years for the elevation of the 800 000 emancipa ted negroes in the West Indies, British phi lanthropists themselves being the judges of what it haseffected there, as it has done during the same period for the elevation of our 3,000,000 American slaves?

' .', A writer in the Florida- Republican says:- : " Let a certain reward be offered for the capture of every Indian, dead or alive, set the cow-boys of Floridn after them, and see how quickly ihe kingdom and power of Billy Bowlegs will crumble to the dust and be numbered with the things that are past. . , HOUPS.
