lis one of the most eccentric char
acters among the many with which
Washington abounds. Her reputation
was tolerahly we'll established during
the war, and some of our soldiers may re-
member female scout Of this name who
was captured in front Of General Joe John
ston's lines. Since the commencement of
the session this city has been favored by
the presence of this man-woman. Every
day DR.. Walker could be seen vending her
way from Wizards to the Capitol-peram-
bulating with most selfsnfiicient and
nonchalant air. Several times the Doctor
distinguished herself in the very galleries
ofthe House. Impelled the by patriotic in
tention OF securing Some suitable reward
for her valuable services as homeopathic
physician and professional spy, Mrs. Wal
ker has seen fit to forward her interest by
al indecorous system Of applause directed
lat those members Of Congress whose favor
she particularly desired to secure. After
submitting to this exhibition Of her nncon-
trollable ecstasy for several days, the door
keepers met in solemn conclave, and deter
mined upon some decisive course of action
towards this nondescript visitant. The
most gallant member Of the bookkeeping
fraternity was deputed to act on the occa-
sion. When the Doctor presented herself
at the entrance to the gentleman's gallery,
she was directed to the place set apart for
persons of her sex. After frantic expostu-
lations, this peculiar disciple Of Esculapius
retreated from the threshold, and pushed
her attack in another qnarter. At the en-
trance to the ladies gallery, she found an
impracticable Cerberus who had received
special orders to admit none but ladies' into
the sacred precints which he guarded II

DWELL why don't you wear wonen's
clothes" replied the janitor. Because I
don't choose to-" "Then you can't come in
here" was the final response. And Dr..
Walker left the Capitol, and we find that
the Doctor was arrested in New York for
wearing male attire-the familiar Bloomer
costume However pitiable we may con-
slider the individual in cases of this kind,
ordinary sentiment should be thrown aside,
and the infatuations of class severely re-
pretended RAMBLER. +
