Dutch Gallantry.
The editor of the Providence Journal,
writing from Holland, mentions the fol
lowing singular trait of natioual man
ner*:
A singular custom exists among the
servant girls and women of the humbler
classes, in the manner of their visiting
public places, and on fetes and gala days.
Dutch propriety will not allow them to
•Lay away—not that these qualities are
any stronger in their feminine, than in
their masculine developments, in Hol
land or anywhere else. The Dutch girls
Aire the young men to go with them
*nd pay their gallants according to the
ctalue of their services, thus securing
their best attention. A good looking
fcllow, with pleuty of brass buttons, and
Svilh agreeable manners, of course, finds
the most constant employment and the
■best prices. When I heard of this cus
tom, 1 was inclined to charge it upon
the lack of personal charms in the Dutch
damsel. It required only a short walk
S. through the streets of Rotterdam to over
throw this theory. The women of the
humbler class in Holland are remarkable
for their good looks, far surpassing those 1
of Kuglund and France. They have a
freshness of complexion, a jaunty trim
•ness of figure, and a pleasant expression
of the face that is always agreeable and
often rises to positive beauty. This ef
fect is increased by the neatness of their
•dress. Probably the habits of cleanli
nes* in which they are educated, are not
without influence in producing this cotui
4incss of [wrsoual ap[iearauce. Put I
think the women of Holland are tia
*turally handsome. 1 saw a woman
trundling a wheelbarrow in Rotterdam
whose natural beauty, in a befitting
dress—-it could hardly have l>eeii neater
or more picturesque—would have won
islmirer* in the gayest drawing room.
A young gentleman who was with me
and whose ideas, like my own, were
at such unseciniiigly labor by
one of the gentle sox, declared, in the
natural impulse of his gallantry, that he
•was disposed to relieve her of her bur
• den. Put the barrow was heavy and
the gill seemed used to it; so my friend’s
.resolution went the wav of good resolu
tion* generally, and the gill went the
way of Dutch damsels, a living picture
.fur the advocates of the right of women
to usurp the occupation of men.
A Tkxan Dias Within a few miles
of the city of Austin, there lives a lady
whose accomplishments for the ball or
•drawingroom, if equaled, tiro not stir
passed by any in the State. This lads
lias, in the last eight months, killed
thiee bears, two of enormous size, sever
al deer and considerable small game.
"She lias, moreover, in her possession, a
powerful stallion of the luus ang breed,
which she caught with the “lasso” in
. 1 Ik: prairies, and “broke in” herself-
She will follow the mountain or mule
-eared rabbits over | laees which have
caused the heart of many an old hunter
to quail. She has frequently been known
w hile following a wounded deer, to plunge
into (be river with her horse and con
tillue the pursuit.
Vai.i e of a Shawl. —The Prooklyn
Kagle thinks shawls should he worn hv
the masculine gender, for the following
rhyming reasons:
“Ifyou want to ho in fashion, wear a
•shaw l; if to sheep and cow* a terror, or
3ike shanghai in full feather, or even rags
rti|H)ti the heath, wear a shawl ; if your
fuips are hadlv moulded, or your shirt
j»nd vest unfabled, or unpleasant to bc
liold, wear a shawl—you might wrap
Tour lassie—iu your shawl. Its like
.charity ou pins, and hides a multitude of
wins—although it causes grins—does your
(bawl. If you wish to be a dandy, wear
a shawl. In a word it is a most useful
article—and you may wrap your feet,
head, body, knees, make a seat, a blanket,
* bed, a muff, a pillow, a wrap rascal or
A Scotch plaid of your shawl.”
London is now the gieat -st city In
the world, and far surpasses all the great
cities of antiquity. According to Gib
■on, the population of ancient Rome in
the height of its magnificence, was 1,200,-
000; Nineveh is estimated to have lmd
000,000; and Dr. Medhurst supposes
that the population of Pekin Is about
2,000,000. The population of London
according to recent statistics, amounts to
2,500,000 —414,<22 having bees added
to it during the last ten years. The cen
sus shows that it contains 307,722 in
habited, and 16,358 uninhabited houses.
Eclipses Dcjuhg 1856.—There will
be two eclipses of the Sun, and two of
the moon, this year. A total eclipse of
the Sun will take place on the sth of
April, and an annular eclipse on the 28th
of September, both invisible here.—
There will be a partial eclipse of tlie
Moon on the 20th of April which will
be visible eaily in the morning; and a
similar eclipse on the 13th of October,
also visible in the evening.

who have once been mariied, and wish
again to marry:
1)R. MEIEUF/S HAIR RESTORATIVE
which costs only Jiffy cents, is warranted to re
store grey hair to its original color. The change
from grey to the most beautiful black or brown,
is gradually effected by the occasional use of this
preparation. The Restorative is superior to most
of the compounds in use, for dyeing the hair, as
it contains nothing that is in the slightest degree
deleterious. It also encourages the growth of
the hair by keeping the roots free from dandruff'.
For the cure ot eruptions of the scalp, such as
scald-head, tetter, Ac., Ac., this composition
stands unrivalled.
