At a dance in San Francisco, a young lady who was particularly accommodating in the dressing-room about assisting other good-looking girls in fixing up, putting on slippers, and lacing corsets, turned out to be a young man. As soon as the girls found it out they "interviewed" him, and he now uses hair restorative and court plaister, and carries his nose in a sling. Mrs. Slocum, who edits the St. Charles (Mo.) Herald, in the absence of her husband, does not favor the movement in the State to strike the word " male " from the Constitution. She says editorially : — "If these woman's rights women who are continually harping upor, this subject, and making themselves ridiculous in the eyes of sensible people would stay at home and attend to their household duties, nurse their babies, and train up their children in the way which God directs, and exercise a healthy, moral, and refining influence on the community, they would do their country greater service than all the ballots they could cast in a lifetime."
