Btrong-Handed and Btrong-Mind- < ed Women, Difference Dotwoon Austrian and North Gormans, Advice to Travelors in Southern Ger- manys Leftera from Mr, Fultonin the Raltimors American, AUBTRIAN WOMEN, During tho afternoon the streots wore litor- ally massod with pooplo, the women being all drossod vory noarly alilke. Thoy had thoir honds tlod up in heavy black silk senrfs or handkor- chiofa, tho two stilf dnds floating like black wings bebind them. The hair waa ontirely con- coalod, and tho only ornsmenta .worn woro hoavy gold -oar-rings aud broastpins. They all wore olthor black slll, satin, or volvet coats, and somo of them woro eithor braided or trimmod with Inco. This ia tho nationnl cos« tumo, and is strictly adhored to in all this soc- tion of Auatria. Itescomed singular to seo youth- ful and Landsome faces pooring out from this gloomy Load-gear, and bright lsughing eyos eparkling botwoon thesolemn black wings, The young men. wors all dressed like their fathors, binck volvet coats with silver boing” & ‘distinguished ‘fenturo of thelr costumo. ; Thia annual gathoring in the stroets of Tall on tho foatival of Corpus Chrlstils one | upon which fathors and mothors arrangofor the marriagoof thelr sons and danghtors, and thero 15 a groat doal of matoh-making porfocted undor tho groves lining tho main streots of tho town. ‘Thore was no evidenco of poverty among them, all sooming to be well-conditioned pooplo. It 48 also an occasion for tho sale and exchango of houses, the purchase of 1ands, eto., as woll as of friondly Interoourse, Tho numbor ‘of women lorgoly oxccoded tho mon, and they seomed to to be the rulivg power in whatover business transactions wero in progross. Thoy woro all stout andstrong in appearanco, indood, looking a8 {f they hnd more musclo and atrength than tho men, and _were genorally more enorgetic in. their appearance and msunor than the sterner 8ox, Their quilted skirts buttons |, woro Inrgoly distended by immonse hoops, and somo of tho youngor ones allowod & glimpso of the color aud texture of thoir hair by a rippling wavo on their forohieads peeping from under tho golemn black scarf that bound their hends, whilst others showed the edgo of a white collar and light-colored scarf batwoon tholr chins and tho closoly-buttonod costs. It was evidont that vanlty is commoncing to make inronds on tho solemn and funoreal garb that has come down to them from thoir mothorsa and grandmothers. There could not have boen less then two thou-~ waud of those hl(;hly-roa]aecluhla aud substantial- looking fomales sssembled, 88 if in mass-moot- ing, under the linden treos that form a grove nenr tho contro of tho town. Not a loud voico could bo hisard, and, with the oxcoption of some of the younger lnsses chatling with thoir beaux, tho countonances of all seomod s Bolomn s sorious aa tho outer gatb, The women of Austria, {n the agrionltural re- gions, aro, lika those of Bwitzerland, tho mus- ter minds_of the family. Thoy aro strong- Lianded and strong-minded, and con take caro of thomselves and thoir husbands algo whon neces- gory, Thoy are ovidently tho ‘‘lords of crep- tion " outsido of the cities, and nood no one to take caro of them.

For all that wo ‘may knoi, thoy 1may bo the wives and dsughtors of tho dozon or amoro automatical-looking men on the ecaffolds, alowly laying the brick and spreading the mortar which 8 brought to them on tho top of tho ‘blonde locks nnfi auburn curls of tho ** gentlor” gex. Thut theso women should Lo allowed to ‘vote, and will have the franchiso, whenover it i fiircn to their husbands, thoro 18 no monuer of loubt, aud they will then vivtually lavo two votoy, a8 no husband in thoe rural "districts of Austria or Bwitzerland would dare to votoagainst the sontimonts of his wife.

A Queoor Tribe of Xlumnn Xeings in Inala. A clan of leaf-clad mountaineors has boen found in Oriesa. In tho hills of Keonjhur, one of tho tributary ontates to the South of Guttack, is thio villago of Gonatika, whence thoro issues from two holes in n rook, compared to the nos- trils of a cow, the wators of tho Byturnce, tho Hindoo Btyx. Hero the Juangs, who inhabit mony other sottlemonts in Koonjhur and iho noighboring eatate of Dhokaual, declaro that thoy orignally sprung into boing voritablo antochthones, tha firat, though byno moans tho fathors, of all mankind, Bome threo thoussnd in number, they have no traditions which affiliato thom with othor tribos, but their language bolmys tho sccrot of which they themsolvos wora ignorsnt till Col. Dalton pointed it out to'thom—thoy aro allled with the Hos and Santals, Their rivor thoy de- olaro to bo older than tho Gangos. Tho Juang lints aro doscribod as tho emallost that human boings over deliberatoly constructed as dwollings. In o spaco of six fest by eight, so low that no corpulont porson could onter, tho fathor of the family and all tho fomales take up ono compart- mont, while the other is the store-room. Tho boys of oach village have a jolnt dormitory of gomo protonsions, erccted s it ontrance. There, too, guosta and travelors are received, and tho instruments are kept. “Their food ranges from tho offal of the jungle, which they discover by animal instinct—the mico, rats, monkoys, tigors, boars, snakes, and frogs—and tho spontancous forosh produco, to_ the orops which thoy themselvos raise. Whon drivon to it Dby their Bhoolva mastors they uso the bow and arrow, but their own wes- pou of dofonsois » sling mado of cord, an * pobblos from tho brook.” When engaged with Mr. T. Ravenshaw, tho Commissionor of Orisss, in sottling o boundary disputo in 1866, Col. Dal- ton hiad lis firat opportunity of studying & party of Juangs, consisting of & matron, hialf a dozen comely maidens, and a8 many mon. Tho men Bed alroady abandonod the uso of loaves for tho amallost possible quantity of cotton cloth, but tho womon clung to their foliage under tho bo- liof that, whon the river goddess, Byturnbo, firat loapod from the Gonasika Rock, slio was 80 au- nt the spectaclo of & party of Jum‘fa dancing naked, that sho condemnod them to adopt leavos n8 their dross forever, or die. The first torch- light dance of this party was Bll{. oxt day, esys Col. Dalton, thoy came to my tont at noon, and while I conversed with tho malos on their custom, languago, and roligion, tho girls sat nestled togothor in & coruor, for a long timo silent and motionloss na statucs, bui, Bftor an hour or two lisd elapsed, the crouching ‘pymphs showed signs of lifo and symptoms of unonsinees, and, moro attentively regarding thom, I found that groat toars were dropping fromn thoir downenst eyos liko dow-drops on greon loaves, On my" tonderly sankinF the causo of their distross, X was told that the loaves wore becoming dry and stiff, and uncomfortablo, and if thoy wore mot allowed to go into tho woods for & change, tho consoquonces would bo sorious, and they certalnly conld not dance. It was & bright, dry day, and tho crisp rustling a3 thoy roso to doparf confirmed the efatemont. Whon thoy returned, arrayed in frosh loaves, we indased. \iom 4o, iyo, e, not, auly . tho solomn variety of sportive dances, somo quito dramatic in nil!l'unt', and 1t was altogether o most intoresting **hallet.” In ono figura tho %;'h moved round in single filo, koopung tho right haud on tho right shoul- dor of tho girlin frout; in snother, with bodies iuclinod, they wreathed their arms and advanced and rotroatéd in lino, In this movemont tho performance bore n sirong rescmblance to ano of tho Kol dances, Thon wo had tho boar dance, The girls, acting indopendently, advance with bodies so much inclined that their hnnds touch thie ground ; thus thoy move not unlike bears, and by o motion from the kneo, the bodies wriggle violently, and tho broad tailsof groen leavos flap up and down in s most ludicrous manner. 'The pigoon dance followa; the action of a love-making pigeon Whon bo struts, pouts, sticks out his broast, and scrapes the ground with his wings, Wwal woll imitated, the hands of the girle doing duty as wings, Thon camo a pig and tor- toiso danco, in which the motions of thoso ani- mals wero less felicitiously rendered, and tho quail danco, in whioh they squatted and peoked at the ground attor the fashion of thogo birds, They concluded with the vulturo dance, o highly dramatio finalo. Ono of the mon was mnde to lio on the ground and ropresent o doad body, Tho girls in approaching it imitated the hopping, sideling advanco of thobird of proy, and, using their hands as boake, nippod an pluchod the peoudo corpso in & mauner that made him oceasjonally forget his character and yoll with pain, This caused great smusoment 10 tho tormentura.—Friend of India. —_— HUDOR.
