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. in iiiiif fulfil. NEWS ITEMS, Remember the Poor. —Two charm ing ladies were discussing one day what it is which constitutes beauty in the hand. They differed in opinion as much as in the shape of the beautiful member they were discussing. A gentleman friend presented himself, and, by com mon consent, the question was referred to him. It was a delicate matter. “ I give it up he replied, “ the question is too hard for me; but ask the poor, and they will tell you that the most beautiful hand in the world is the one that gives Let our fair readers remember the “giv ing hand” in these bleak days of winter and exteud theirs to the poor audueedy. —Charleston Courier. Items.—Alexander Hamilton was only twenty years of age when he was ap pointed a Lieutenaut Colonel in the army of the revolution, and Aid-de-camp to Washington. At twenty live he was a member of the continental Congress; at thirty he was one ol the ablest mem bers of the Convention which framed the Constitution of the United States. At thirty two he was Secretary of the Treasury, and organized that branch of Government on so complete and compre hensive a plan, that no great change or improvement has since been made upon iu Chai-pkd Lips.—During the present weather it will bo found by many, Indies especially, rather difficult to keep the “chaps” from them. We can, however, recommend the following means for keeping lips smooth. Get a lemon, and having cut it into two parts, rub there with the lips frequently daily, and more particularly before exposure to the open air. To Apprentices. —The only way for a young man to prepare himself for usefulness, is to devote himself lo study during his leisure hours, lienjmiiiii Franklin laid the foundation for li t greatness while an apprentice. Success depends not upon the amount of leisure we have, but ou the manner in which it it improved. We le irn from a late California paper that the Setiatois and Representatives of that State in Congress intend making an effort at the present session of that body to obtain the passage of a bill for the es tablishment of a lino of mail-steamers from San Francisco to Shanghai, touch ing at the Sandwich Islands and Japan. It is understood from reliable informa tion from Mexico, that a movement is on foot there to call (Jen Almonte to tho head of affairs, and instead of his proceed ing at once to England, it is expected ho will shortly leave for Mexico, lo place himself at the disposal of his friends in that republic. Kansas Emigrants. —We are happy to announce says the Columbus Times, of the lltli inst., that Maj. Buford is very actively engaged iu organizing his company of emigrants. lie informs us that he will probably have more appli cants than lie- will be able to accommo date. During the late epidemic in Norfolk, I >r. Reed, one of the volunteer physicians from Savannah, (la., wits surprised to meet in the street a servant woman whom he had left at home. When being questioned as to what brought her there, she replied that sire had come to nurse him, if he should be attacked. The IJog Market, —The Louisville Courier states, that the slaughter at the ■iork houses iu that city continues una bated, the daily killings averaging 10,000 head. The receipts of hogs front nil di rections also continued heavy. The market on Wednesday was quiet, aod prices nominal at $6 for uc-tt hogs. In the city eourt of Mobile,, last week, Sarah Beasly was found guilty of murder in the first degree, with the penalty of being confined iu the penitentiary for life. ILer husband was sentenced to be hung a few days previously on the same charge on tho Jst of February, for the same crime.

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.
