The celebrated Talleyrand on his death
bed was visited by Louis Pliillippe, King
of the French. “How do you feel?” said
the King, The answer was, ‘'Sire, lam
suffering the pangs of the damned.’’
Sir Thomas Scott said : ’Until this mo

The “Women of America.”
The female half of American society
owes a debt -r-.f some sort, and a lieavy one,
to the New York Express for the follow
ing outburst in the shape, of a leHectinu
drawn from the just concluded visit of the
Piiuce of W ales and suite.—lx says :
One thing is determined by the recent,
visits to this country of Princes from the
East and from the West ot the Old World.
American women have worse manners
than the men. it was the women who at
Washington intruded upon diplomatic re
ceptions, anil sat upon the mantles at the
President’s mansion; it was the women
who insisted upon going to a ball at Gcu.
Cass’s house, so that the venerable ftec
retaiv declared he dared lint give a dinner
or a uialinue. It was the women who
thrust their notes upon Tommy. So, also,
it wac tiie woman who jostled and crowded
upon the Piiuce at the bail at the Acade
my, it was the women who got upon the
seats in Trinity church to look at him, not
withstanding the clergyman had fitst re
quested them not to do so. These are wo
men of all grades, not only such ns might
ire supposed ignorant of good breeding, but
•such at \Voulii ud invited to tiie balls of
the Secretary of Oiate, or could gft access
to the Academy of Music last Friday.
They were alike in Washington and New i
York : they have displayed this behavior I
he! re now, at the crowded operatic inati- ;
uees; they do so iu the omnibuses and in I
the railway can*; whore they demand the |
places of the men, and never dream of i
thanking them, At the North and tiouth, i
