Ross Browne, late United States Minister to Gbina, in reply to an address ot British and American residents in Shanghae, denounced Burlingame’s policy, and said he considered it evidence of Chinese disinclination for progress. He declared the establishment of foreign rel ‘ons with China on # basis of equality impos. sible al present, and thought the yielding atti- tade of foreign powers would tend to produce ‘war, as revelations iately made proved the mis- taxen nature of the British policy.

I repeat, the female politico-philanthropists of Washington and other piaces would do well ‘to consider the ways, not only in the Uld World, but also of some of their sisters in Boston and Cam! how they are contending for tueir rights. There is, in the first place, Miss Eliza- beth P.

There is the Industrial Institute for Women sud Girls, recently estan- lished in Boston. 1 bave no doubt that this institute also scon will baye a kindergarten. Une word about the Iady who started this school. Two years ao, a lady physician, dependent on her profession for sup; ndertook to teach a class of adult unskilled working wome n, to find them a better meaus of earning @ livelibood than picking up rags and other refuse im the streets or working in other occu- pations equally as low and degrading. With these, unaided. and entirely at her own ex- pense, she labored, for nearly a year, with- out being able to reform them so as to change their love of low degrading employ ment, which had been instilled into them when young. Dis- appointed, but not discouraged, she saw her mistake in trying to make vigorous plauts from old fossils, and she abandoned the class | and set about forming a private school of young girls, from four to ten years ot age. Here she made her grand discovery, that the moment « young gil, nomatter how filiny and forlorn, was once taught to sew two pieces of ribton ‘together, as to form a pretty bow, or meid & rent in ber garment, from that moment the whole ambition of the young mind, so sen- sitive and tevder in giris, would change. Filth- tees mevery form would vanish with most ben eye Swiftness, And love of the peauti- ful in all that adorns womanhood; would range itself throughout a class in hopeful assurance. | She introduced, also, beyond the art of mend. tng, cutung, and making undergardents. tho use of the sewing machine, makin work, &c.; also the arts of printing and tele- graphing, occupations eminently fitting for ‘women; and in the short s; trom ber school of seventy pup’ ty-five have graduated, and are irom Bine to twelve dollars per week. The mame of this lady is Dr. L.S. Batchelder. Iftime and space would permit 1 could give very-in- teresting and instructive accounts from similar Institutes inGermany. There 1s the associa- tion in Bremen which has proviaed instruction for four hundred girls, and expended a large amount of gratuities to poor women.

The admission to this training house is regarded asa great privilege. it is even secured as a reward for proficiency in the free schools, so that a young womar who has distinguished herself for good conduct in school, is entitled to still further education in this house as a ceward of merit. 1 should not torget to mention, also, the self- supporting Co-operative Industrial School tor boys and girls, founded in Reutlingen, in South Germany, by Herr von Werner, the son of the Finance Minister. The founder was a stadent of the University of Tubingen, and at the time & poor vicar.
