A FEMALE WARRIOR.

A widow whose name figures hon
nrably III the history of France recently
died in Hospicc des Pctits- Manages,
at the age of 81. Her maiden name
was Thcrcsc Figneur, and she served
as dragoon in the 18th and 10th
regiments from 1880 to 1912. She was
known throughout the army by the
name of Sans Gene, and was so much
esteemed by her officers that when the
committee Of public safety determined
on excludingall women from the army,
an exception was made in her favor.
The history Of her campaigns was
published from her own dictation in
1912. Sho began her military career
at Toulon, when tho port was bcsieged
by the English, in 1898. She was
there put under arrest by Command.
ant Bonaparte for a delay of twenty
five minutes i'll executing an order
Some years after, when her old CON-
mander had become first consul, he
sent for the dragoon Sans G ere to ST..
Cloud, and afterw ar.l gave her good
service pension Of 200 francs. Sans
Gere remained in active service until
1912, when she fcl! into the hands of
the priest Mcrino's gucrillas in Spain,
and was taken as prisoner Of war to
where she remained until
1911. In the course Of twenty cam
paigns she had four horses killed under
her, and was often wounded-thc first
time being at Toulon, when ball
struck her left breast. She entered
the hospicc in ls4o, and lived upon her
pension Of 200 francs, till the present
Emperor made handsome addition to
her heansstrom his private purse.

SMART NESS OF THE .sPR1NCE OF
:r..... RAILS.,3 -a

A correspondent of the State Se,,-
ti'oez relates the following: @'a
1t seems from the Republican press
that the younger Lincoln has not either
more politeness or good breeding than
the elder Lincoln. Take specimen
''brick'' from the Republican paper of
Buffalo. The editor, with great glcc,
publishes that while "Bob" and his
mother was travelling from New York
home, they found themselves at Buff
alo, without a free pass over the State
Line Railroad. Whcreupon the smart
and polite young. gentlemen walked
into the Superintendent's room, and
held forth in the following choice and
gentlemanly language:
''A[y name is Bob Lincoln; am son
Of Old Abc-thc old woman is i'll the
cars raising HI about her paeses-I
wish you would 60 and attend to
hcr.' sa l.a
The editor publishes ttis IS a con-
elusive evidence Of Bob's snaartncss !!
Strange to say, the Superiniedcu.
instead of kicking the impudert young
sprig out of his Office, filled out the
requisite papers to enable Mrs. Lincoln
and family to ride over the road free.
We ought to have Thackerayin this
oountry for tho benefit OF tho ''snobs''
that infest it ut this time. The most
silly and ridiculous things that human
| lips, inside or outside of a Lunatic
Asylum, can possibly utter, if uttered
by Old Abe or his hopeful son Bob,
arc caught up and published to the
world by the Republican 'tspobs" as
evidence of their slnartness. als.ss ,'t1i'

DY DIANA BACHELOR.
Oh, sad and mournful is the fate,
Which, intend now 10 relate
Two dear young souls in health and bloom
At once were hurled into tho tomb.
One winters night, both cold and drcar
With nought around their hearts to cheer
Four children, they were left alone,
Lone inmates Of drcary home.
This man and wife, VIC understand,
Contrary to Gods great command;
Did leave their house and children all,
For to attend public ball.
This woman when she did get riled,
Would in her arms take up her child =;
Unto her nciehbor's house would 20,
And leave them alone 10 veal or WOO.
Night Of the ball, as we have said,
The childron they were aif in bed.
The fire broke out at twelve that night,
Which put them in dreadful fright.
Poor little souls, they could not see,
Which way to run or where to flco,
Nor father, mother, friend was near,
In this sad hour their heart to cheer.
The flames around the room did glare,
Grim death, into each face did stare;
Out Of the fro tho two Oldest came,
The other two were wrapped in flame.
Most sadly burned and almost froxc,
Their naked bodies were exposed
Their poor bare feet, in frost and snow,
Unto their uncle's house did go.
Oh, uncle and aunt open your door;
Oh, letus in, We pity implorc;
Oh uncle dcar our house is in flame,
Franklin and Edncy are in the same.
Their friends turn'd out with might and mail
And soon tho burning house did gain.
The little ones they could not save,
For both, were wrapped in a fiery grave
What awful feelings in them burned,
When, away, unto the ball they turned {;
To bear the sad and mourniul news, bruise
Which ought their stubborn hearts t.
AS on the wings Of wind they went,
To bear tho sad news was their intent,
And tell to them tho aw full tale,
And hear them mourn, lament and wall
Our homo is gone, Sallie, he said
awe have not " here to lay our head
And oh our little childre too.
Oh, dear! Oh, dear! what shall we do?'
OF those two children that did come,
Unto their Uncle's friendly home
They dressed thcir wounds and made tho:
whole,
As the good Samaritan did Of old.
These lines arc hard and also true;
Whoever does these verses view;
Take as warning one and all, -
Never go to public ball.
