for manslaughter ought certainly to the stage is full of instances where foolhardy its have been hurled to death from swing in the air. Only recently a tra- Pezist—one of the boldest aed most skilful of his tribe—fell on his head in Madrid and was picked up dead. Crawling slong the streets of Philadelphia may be seen a maimed and crippled object with a broken back, once a model of strength and beauty, who fell on the boards below and never again stood erect; and examples are thick as falling leaves jn autumn if it were worth while to quote them, But the most horrible and disgusting phase of this last development of the popular is the hungry eagerness with which the are filled when it is announced that an unusually dangerous feat isto be performed by achild ora woman, The Gregory brothers, three lads, announced themselves to attempt a fomersault forty feet in mid air, and on the Girst night the place was crowded beyond pre- Gedent. They succeeded, but the danger was - 80 apparent, and it was so palpably evident that pome time or other these boys would fail in — hand or eye that a net was put under » and the third night the youngest brother, little chubby-faced boy not old enough to know fear, fell and was saved to an affection- ate father and a palpitating public by the r) le net, But the commercial value ‘of the boys depreciated from the moment it was found that a fall would neither ki) ‘hor main them; the houses consequent%y fell off, and the musgeinént, in quick compliance with the ferocious faiicy of tner thugted up angther victim, and now Tam- many 1s crowded to see a slight, smiling girl in tights and spangles, bare-armied and fear- Jess, standing lightly on a swinging bar fifty feet above thé heads of the breathless audience, with no support for her hands, and swaying about in a dizzy swing fear‘ul to con- template. There is no net to catch . her should she fall, and that she will fall one of these days is inevitable. Maybe not here, but | fomewhere; and then we advise Mr. Bergh to turn his philanthropic attention from perse- euted car horses and martyred turtles to the prompt punishment of the reck- less managers who will consent to swell their fortunes by the blood-money of these poor little children, unsuspicious of danger, and foolish women, whose vanity leads them fato dangers their feeble brains cannot com- prehend. If the portly and affable managers will risk their precious lives for the money they now take in by the hat full, on the flying trapeze, be it ever so often and ever so high, we will interpose no objection, but cheerfully applaud if they swing well and philosophically pick them up if they drop.

A conflict with Spain cannot leave any doubt respecting the issue, unless England and France should interfere. A blow dealt at Cuba would be tantamount to a blow dealt towards the whole of the West Indies, and the acquisition of Cuba might be followed by that of Jamaica and Martinique. The same paper quotes the recent acquisitions of territory by the United States as a proof that it wants to acquire by piecemeal all the possessions held by European Powers in that latitude, and would naturally com- mence by Cuba because it belongs to the weakest of the Powers having settlements in the West Indies, France and England will doubtless determine whether these designs against Cuba will be tolerated, or aid Spain in retaining her colony.

Despatches from Rear Admiral Davie—Posi- tlon of the Allied Armies—Access to the American Minister Denied by the Allies. WasuHINoToN, April 22, 1869. Despatches have been received from Rear Admiral Davis, commanding the South Atlantic squadron, dated Montevideo, March 13, The Kansas, which had grounded near Viletta, in the Paraguay, and had been in that position over a month, got afloat Feb- ruary 25, and had arrived at Montevideo, having apparently saffered no injury to her hull. The Wasp had been despatched to Asuncion to investigate the réport that the house in which the late United States Minister had loft the archives bad been broken into and pillaged. ‘The reports were that on the occupation of Asun- cion by the allies the Legation was forcibly entered, the books and papers indiscriminately scattered through the streets, the ) Bale broken {nto and the contents 2¢propriated. NO communication had is been operied with General McMahon, and it wi lieved despatches from him were still at that plac Before the Wasp departed on this mission our Min- tater at Buenos Ayres had obtained from the Afgen- tine Minister of War au deact to General Mitre, the mmander-in-chief of the Argentine army, ‘urnish Lieutenant Kirkland, of tia Wasp, an escomts and flag of truce to enable hon to communicate with General McMahon. The Wasp reached Asuncion on the 2ist of February, and Lieutenant Commander Kirkiand had a correspondence with the General-in-Chief of Brazilian forces, requesting him to extend the usual courtesy of a passage through the lines under a flag of truce to his bearer of despatches, so that commu- nication could be opened with General McMahon. The réquest was declined, on the ground that in the actual circumstances and necessities of war it was the imperious duty of the allied generals to besiege completely the enemy, who, after belng conquered, morally and materially, in af] his intrenchments oa the river, had taken refuge in the interior with the object of prolonging the grand sacrifices of the allied States. The new operations which tie allied armies were on the point of executing required that the enemy be deprived of all communication with the exterior. Furthermore, the place where General McMahon could be found was unknown, and it would be morally and materially impossibie for the allied generals to expose the dignity of their fags aud the lives of some of their comrades by sending to the enemy an escort to conduct despatches to General McMahon. ‘Yhe despatches which had been entrusted to the Marquis de Caxais to forward to General McMahon were returned to Lientenant Commander Kirkland, it was believed at the time tuis refusal was given the alliea armies were fully aware of the location of General McMahon, and that gentleman had even written to them and requested that his despatches be forwarded to him. Lieutenant Commander Kirk- land appointed @ board of naval oiflcers to in- vestigate the reported forcible entry into the Lega- tion. After deligent inquiry, very little definite in- formation could be obtained. It seemed to be generally understood that during the sacking of the city by the allied forces the butiding formerly occu- ied by the American Legation was entered and such Books ‘and papers as had been left there were scat- tered and destroyed. Some of these,books were said to be in the hands of the soldiers and to have been offered for Baie. THE WORKING WOMEN OF BOSTON. A General Convention of the Labering Wo- men of the ‘¢Hub”=—Sad Stories of Their Trials and Wrongs aud a Proposition for Their Relief. Boston, April 21, 1860, The working women of Boston and vicinity, indig- nant and sad at their treatment at the hands of their employers, are now vigorously agitated in the matter of @ prospective Improvement of their truly deplorable condition. They have held numerous informal meetings in their workshops and at their homes, but not until to-day have they made any public demonstration or any public statement of their condition. They came together to the number of several hundred tn the Meiontan, their grand purpose being to consult upon the general welfare of the working women, to devise means for their relief, especially to consider a plan of Mis3 Aurora H. C, Phelps for colonizing poor women upon lands to be provided by the State or by persons of means who are friendly to their cause. William B. Green, a gentleman who is laboring in their behalf, was selected to preside over the con- vention. The forenoon proceedings were partici- pated in wholly by the women themselves, and con- sisted chiefly of statements of their condition in life, It was given out asa fact that there are uw wards of 20,000 working women in Boston; that in numerous shops where there are over a hundred employed the earnings of each are not more than sixty or seventy-flve cents per week; that they are, in many cases, obliged to 1 on one scanty meal a day, and that many to obtain the necessaries of life are forced to resort to prostl- tution, These and other statements equally sad were made and reiterated, and then the question was asked, ‘‘What is to be done?” Miss Aurora H. ©. Phelps, who herself is a work- ing woman, and has given considerable atvention to the matter, proves that the Legislature should grant them ald, and a petition, signed by the oiicers of the convention and a large number of the work- ing women here, will be presented to that body to- morrow. The following resolotions, ¢xpressing the sense and purpose of the convention, were also adopted:— Whereas the aystem of divided labor, which haa been per- fecting ttvelf in Massachusetts daring the past thirty years, has resulted in a relative decrease in the average of wages ‘and in @ quadrupling of the average luxury of the comn ity; and wherons the effect of the aystem has been to the ocoupations of the laboring portion of the people pa: Incomplete and fragmentary, many of the workingmen an women being constantly and'mondtonously employed at rein. tively decreasing wages {a the creation of mere elements of product, never learning to begin and finish any one product whatever; and whereas monotonous Iabor upon parts only iwada to ® deterioration of the faculties of the mind and to the dirordering of the powers of the natural body; and whereas the progressive ¢nifering and de- (ertoration In body, soul and spirit, and the relat!ve deprecia- tion of the wages Of the working women especial @ not kept pace and been commensurate with,the proj ver: ‘age prosperity of the community at large; and whereas the exis tem of divided labor, involving the use of ma- chinery, fe easential to the well-being and prosperity of the commonwealth, and a cturn to the old ayatem is unprofitable and undesirable; and whereas the physical frames and moral vigor of many of the working women require restoration by Tabor 19 the open air on land owned by themselves and in houses of which they themseives are mistresses, where the; body and tench auch com. may regain their natural health of soul and themecives to do general ho and to create piate products as are of necessary use in families; therefore, Resolved, That we, working women of Boston, in conven: tion assembled, approve of Miss Aurora H.C.
