all struck fair. upon the enemy's

A Gay and Festive Boy in Female

Several cases have been reported Of women
being caught in the garb Of soldiers but nons
till now, Of soldier in female attireI The
Memphis Bulletin relates such a ease GS fol=
lows:
A private named Stephens; Of the 93d ln-
diana Infantry, has been masaucrading about
this patt Of the country for some time past
at great rate. He has been IN the deserving
business, more or less, since his enlistment,
and became quite an adept at the science
through long practice. He made his home
with his mother, who resides here, and thro'
her assistance managed to allude the officers;
who were endeavoring to apprehehd him for
several weeks. He adopted the apparel Of
the opposite sex, and through the aid of deX;
ferrous mantua-makmg and rather feminine
face, he escaped detection for some time:
He showed himself; by his makeup, to be
well yerscd IN all the mysteries of female
machinery, and was furnished with rufliesj
corscts, brstlcs, hoops, CATERS, paddingj
curls, paint, powder, gloves, perfunery, bon
net, and all the other jiganarees, ginger
bread work, etc., that contribute TO the map-
ufacture Of Il lady in street costume. Find:
ing the city too hot for him, or growing that
way fast, lie concluded the best thing for him
to do was 20 gc north. To show his incrcdi
Bile cffrontery, II is only necessary to state he
went in his disguise TO :he Provost Marshal's
Office to get pass to go up the river. Some
thing strange in his gait led an experienced
detective to think everything was not as it
should be. Some instinct told him that he
was man in woman's attire. He was I'M
mediately arrested and conveyed to the 1rr!
ing block. Here q delicate question arose;
how should it be proved whether it was sham
or real woman. II Il should happen the
officers were deceived, IN their snspicions,
what a horrible mistake il would be to sub
ject her to the degrading examination. 1t
was suggested that lady be employed TO as-
certain the truth; but II the officers suspi-
cions should turn out true, what then , The
fellow would not confess, or, rather, he per-
sisted in his claims to femininity. So strong
ly did the current Of opinion set i'll his favor,
thut he was confined for the night in the wo-
mans department of the prison, but secretly,
ulider the espionage of a sharp sentinel.
There were developments before morning
that determined the vexed question. We
won't pretend to say what they were, but have
heard that he took off his wig of false curlS
and disclosed a crop OF short, black hair, cut
"man fashion,"
On the next morning he was taken before
the Provost Marshal, all rigged out in his
female attire, and looked as foolish as sheep
stealing dog. After brief examination, he
was rcnIanded to confinement, to be tried for
the grave offense Of descrtion, and the
chances are he will be shot; unless the au-
thorities exercise clcincncy III the matter.

THE HUMAN EYE.-Thc Language Of the
eye is very hard to counterfeit. You can read
i'll the eyes Of your companion, while you talk,
whether your argument hits him, though his
tongue will not confess it. There is look
by which man shows that he is going to say
good thing, and look when he has said il.
Vain and forgotten are all the Offices Of hos
pitality, il there he no holiday in the eye.
How many furtiye invitations are ayowed'b
the eye though dissembled by the lips. A
man comes away from company; he has
heard important remarks, but II in sympathy
with the societyi he is cognizant that stream
Of life has been flowing to him through the
eye. There are eyes which give no more ad-
mission into them than blue berries; others
are liquid and deep wells that men might fall
into; and Others are oppressive and dsrour-
ing, and take too much notice. There are
asking eyes, aud asserting eyes, and prowling
eyes, and eyes full of faith-sonie OF good
and sonic of bad OMEN.

AMrsISG DEVELOPMENTS AT MEMpHts.=

the Provost Marshal had in custody several
ladies, some of apparent respcctability, sus-

into the Confederacy. Some strange develop
