A REVOLUTION OF THE WOMEN.

Tin: Bohemian papers describe a "Revolution of tho Womeii," which has just occurred at Nabin, near Prague. A wealthy landowner of the plaec, who lost his wife about a year ago, took a voyage of consolation, and when he returned home it was found that he had brought with him a very beautiful young irirl, whom ho appointed us his housekeeper. All his servants indignantly struck ; they would not obey an irregular mistress. They went into tho village and complained to the wives, mothers and marriasjeablu maidens. Hereupon a parliament of the women of Nabin was convoked. It was resolved that an insult had beon offered to them and to morality, aud the council uuanimou-ly agreed to make an attack upon the offender's mansion aud insist upon the immediate dismissal of the gill. The angry women of Nabin, old aud youu.ir, forced their way into tho room wheie the terrified sjirl wan hiding. They fastened a crown of dunjr straw upon her head, gave her a fearful whipping, and then compelled her to take an oaMi that she would leave Nabin at once aud never return. She was put into a cart aud driven out of tho village, amid the jubilant shouts of the servants. The master had .sought safety in flight.
