M. de Tocqueville, speaking of American wo-
men says:


''As for myself, do not hesitate to avow,
that, although the women of the Uned States
are confined within the narrow circle of domestic
life, and their situations are, in some respects,
Of extleme dependence, | have no where seen
women occupying a loftier position and if
were asked, now am drawing to close Of this
work, in which have spoken Of so many things
done by the Americans, to what the singular
prosperity and growing strength of that people
ought to be attributed, should reply-to the s,t-
pc,iority Of their ,comer."

King Freeman, a native African chief of great
power and influence, whose territory adjoins that

He is represented TO be sagacous and intelligent,
and after studying the laws and religion of his
neighbors from America, he drew up a constitu-
ton by which his people are now governed.
King Freeman has the honor of establishing
constitutional government in advance of several
European monarchies.-permont Chronicle.
