From the 'Maiden Soldier" by Mrs. kliet,
,,e take this about female WARRIORS
itt 10 not n very uncommon thing for women TO
serve in the disguise OF soldiers, and our late war
nTesents several examples. The services, however,
apnear to have been nconsderable and the dsguises
immperfect for discharged is the brief record Of
nearly all. In the war of the American Revolution
two or three instances OF heroic action on the part of
women were gratefully acknowledged by the public
authorities. Congress passed resolution making
honorable mention of the services of Margaret Cor
bin, wounded at the attack on Fort Washington,
where she filed the post left vacant by her husband
who was killed at her side while serving piece OF
artillery. complete suit and half the monthly pay
of a soldier were voted to her. The gunners wife
who took her husbands place when he was killed at
the battle of Monmouth was rewarded by commits
sion. But no adventures Of the kind attracted so
much attention the wonderful romance of the
Massachusetts girl who actually served i'm the Re-
voutiOnary army through long term, and rendered
services valuable enough to be rewarded by q PEN
sion during life

when the series came to an end gathered what
would be called the Remainder" of his impress
sions, and sold them in sets.
Much gossip has Hoated about with respect 10
the "Iiber Studiorum.n 1t is certain that the
artist afforded not few Illustrations of his pecu-
liarities of mind and judgment in his ideas OF
publishing the work, which, whatever might
have been their sources, clashed- terribly with
commercial necessities, customs, and preiudices
After short time from the frst.if not from the
first issue, he refused to allow the usual profits
to retailers. As ten per cent, afterwards re-
duced to five per cent, all the traders could
hope for in return for their trouble and the use of
their capital of course they did not for the love
of Art alone, procure and distribute Turner's ven
ture Woud-be purchasers were thus frequently
compelled to go to Queen Anne street. West in
search of their copies and were there supplied
by the artist. The worst impedments, how
ever, to the course of the ''Liber" were the ex-
treme irregularities of its issues. The personal
and other incidents of its history involve the
designers difficulties with the engraycrs who
successfully undertook portions of the series of
plates; the lack of patronage for the work did
not allow him to remuncrate them fairly: other
incidents evoke admiration for the energy
Turner threw into the execution OF that part
which was reserved to himself Then we cx-
pcrienCc regret on account OF the Abandonment
of the idea of completing the scheme rs at first
proposed when more than fourth of the work
remained to be published-surprise at Turner's
apparent Indifference to the unfinished state of
about a dozen OF the plates which remained uu-
published, and would have gone far to fulfil the
original plan-and, lastly wonder at the extra
ordinary perseverance which carried the noble
notion of such q work so far as it went. despite
its lack of profit. These arc some of the matters
for thinking which the subject suggests

THE "TAREo OF COTTON BALES.

The Liverpool Chamber of Commerce pro-
poses sending letter TO the Chamber Of Com
merce Of New York, suggesting the adoption
OF the same allowance for tare in cotton
bales which prevasin England It is customary
IN England for the seller to allow discount Of four per
cent for ordinary tae any extra covering or very heavy
bands being subject to extra agreement Among Aiher
lean dealers no such allowance is made. 1t was
the custom here four years TO allow certain weight
for the iron hOOps-a pound and half for each Eacn
bale has six hoops so the discount about Two per
cent ON bale of $50 lbs At present cotton is sold ID TINS
country without drawback. IL would at first that
this unfair to the English buyer VINO must pay oa
rate per pound he pays for prime cotton But In real
ty the thing regulates itself The tare lowers the price
OF cotton very slightly tare in this country, allowed
lust as much in England only there IL is taken OF the
Of pounds, and called tare and here the thng
is understood and there is nothing said Every one
knows that cotton bought by the bale includes four per
cent of worthless covering and IN consequence he pays
four per cent less for it than he would IL clear
cotton.
