AslRANGE. STORY. I.
A woman who Says She Was n Sol
dier-wOunded as a Cavalryman
and Captured as Spy.
From the Pittsburg Chronicle. Dec. 2O.l h

From the Pittsburg Chronicle. Dec. 20.l fHfr
Yesterday there arrived in this city a
woman who tells a startling and romantic
story. She claims to have ,well7authen-
ticated papers to support her story, and
refers confidently to distinguished mill
tary men who, she says, are acquainted
with the facts of her case.
Briefly, the story she tells is this: She
lived with her husband at st. Paul until
the war broke out. Then the husband
enlisted in the 18th Missouri Cavalry
Regiment. She says he was the only
human being on earth who cared for her,
or for whom she cared, and she resolved
to accompany him. Accordingly, she
says, with his consent, she doDned mascu-
line clothing and joined the same com
pany with her husband. All through her
connection with the company she states,
no one but her husband and the captain
knew Of her sex. She served in the ranks
until the battle Of Stone river, where her
husband was killed and herself wounded
in the leg. With this wound she was
kept for a considerable time in the hos
pital, and when partially recovered, was
ulsCudTSeu lrOHl Tue btINlCc' Dhc uiu
not leave the army, however, but entered
the secret service as spy She crossed
the lines as a deserter from the Union
army. She succeeded in gaining all the
information she wanted, and then she
got hold of a suit Of female clothing, in
which she attempted to leave the rebel
lines, but was captured and sentenced
to be hung as spy. She was placed
under a tree and the rope placed around
her neck, but for some reason the exc
cution was postponed and she was taken
to Tullahoma. Here, after few days,
she was recaptured by our own men.
After this she quit the secret service
and dressed in the proper clothing of
her sex. She entered for time on hos
pital duty as a nurse. She worked at
this for time and then returned to St
Paul Here she married a second time,
her husband being discharged soldier
from an Illinois regiment, who bad been
discharged on account of his failing eye
sight. Eventually he became entirely
blind. At the close of the war she was
admitted as a member Of the Grand
Army of the Republic.

BURNING AN INDIAN PRINCE.
MSrshsjs 81 KoisPere was DIS

Cincinnati Gazette Letter.
A pile of wood had been erected about
six feet long, three wide and three high.
The bodywas then laid upon the ground
and a gold coin placed in the mouth.
He was dressed in red satin and silk. A
long tonic or toga reached nearly to the
knees, whNe red stockings and leather
boots completed the dress. On his breast
there was an immense number of Jew
eled orders, and around his neck there
was necklace of very large pearls, each
worth small fortune in itself. Our
Protestant idea is that we cannot carry
anything into the next world with us,
but the Indian doctrine seems to differ,
for it requires that the body shall be
burned with many of the jewels of the
person. His head was covered by q
black and red turban, The body was
then wrapped in a large sheet of red
silk, with quantities of perfumes, and
laid upon the funeral pile with the feet
to the east. The attendants then COM
menced series of unintelligible mo
tions, putting on their turbans and taking
them off, bowing and stretching their
arms in every imaginable direction, and
repeating numerous short prayers in
Indian, which / will omit for several
reasons. Then they threw more per-

The Prince Royal Captivated by a
Pretty French Woman.

The Prince Royal of Prussia has, it is
said, yielded to the seductions of French
manners and intellect. A very interest
ing romance might be written about his
visits to the charming owner of villa
not far from the chateau of Madame An
Dire, where he lives, along with the old
King, who, his piety Notwithstanding,
has soldiers eye for pretty ankle.
The royal Victoria, who remains at Ber-
lin, must, like her very remote ances-
tress, Queen Margaret of Scotland, be
content with the empty honor of official
triumph; for the heart Of the new-hedged
Field Marshal, her husband, is now in
the hands of sparkling French woman,
patriotically resolved to conquer Ger
many. This is, of course, very sad and
very shocking; but there is such thing
in the world as retribltive justice. When
a royal princess encourages a royal
prince to rend the vitals of country
which loaded her in her youth with ten
derness, she should not feel angry at a
Pompadour starting out upon her, and
disputing with her the admiration, or,
possibly, the affections, of the heroic
Fritz. This is one of the costs of war
upon which the Court Of Berlin did not
count at the beginning of the campaign.
The moral to be deduced therefrom is
that royal German ladies should not
allow their husbands to take seriously to
soldering in France.

ment: 1--WE (the guns) are off to Paris,
and well see to that little affair alone.
Two cannon lay side by side on the
truck, the latter being quite new and OF
sufficient strength to bear the enormous
weight. The guns were each some
twenty feet in length, with a bore OF
twelve inches, all well rihed, and the
conical shot thrown by them scaled, as
an officer informed me, about FIVE hund'
red weight English. Such are the pieces
with which King William proposes to
gain possession of the forts around
Paris; aud when they are brought into
play resistance will not, in all probabil.
ity, last much longer than that of the
Strasburg citadel.

Curious Natural Phenomenon =
Mirage i'm the British Channel.

Mr.. Thomas Waring gives, in the
Meteorological Magazine, the following
description of a mirage of unusual
splendor:
The party on board my yacht Hadas-
sab, on her. passage from Alderney to
Guernsey, witnessed a phenomenon SO
striking, and in these latitudes so rare,
that am tempted to send you short
account of it. The wind was light, from
the Il. N. E., the sky cloudless, the sun
very hot, and the barometer steady at
1921. There had been some signs Of a
fog in the morning, but they had disap-
peared. At about $3.50 in the afternoon
we observed over the small island of
Herme peculiar hazy reflection,
which became more and more defined,
until it presented an exact inverted
image of the land beneath. A similar
effect was soon visible round the whole
horizon. The islands of Alderney,
Guernsey, Jersey, Sark and Herme
seemed raised to more than twice their
height; sharp-pointed outlying rocks
were capped with inverted images of
themselves, apparently balanced upon
them, point to point, like enormous
rocking stones. The Ortach rocks, of
which we had previously lost sight, were
now seen with startling clearness in the
air. The Casquetes, with its three light
houses, presented most curious appear
ance. The lighthouses were drawn out
into colossal pillars, on whose summit
rested huge mass of rock, clearer in
the outline thanAthe real island beneath
Ships were seen sailing, keel upward,
through the air, every sail and spar dis
tinct, and in some cases the images were
reduplicated. Several of the ships thus
reflected were below the horizon and in
visible to us. The northern end of Guern-
sey. where the land runs low, was twice
reflected in the air, so distinctly that
even those who were familiar with the
island found it hard to recognize it. We
seemed to be. looking at some half
merged country, where countless still
lagoons were divided from each other
by narrow strips of land. AS we
neared Guernsey, the picture became
less distinct but, meanwhile, the
mirage was becoming more wonderful
still oyer Alderney. Here the deep
marked cliffs were magnihed to an ap-
parent height of many hundred feet,
and no scene painter devising grand
transformation scene ever dreamt of
more fascinating groups of basaltic col
umns. grottoss and rock arches with the
tide flowing beneath, than was exhibited
hv the island and the Isolated stacks
around It. Having remained visible for
more than three hours, the panorama OF
wonders gradually faded away, and by
seven o'clock the horizon was clear,
save where dark, narrow line of cloud
or mist hung low on the northeast,
NAV add, for the information of weather
nrophets, that this unusual state of the
atmosphere was not the forerunnerr OF
high wind or auy change in the weather.

Arlington.

G. G., the female correspondent of the
New York Tribune, gives her views o.
the duty of the Government to Mrs. Lee
because Of its appropriation Of the Ar
hngtcn estate. She says:
Mrs. Lee was not citizen, but wife
and, first of all, according to the prevail
ing ideas, owed loyalty to her husband

from the Confederacy, repudiated her
rebel husband, and sought sanctuary and
release in Indiana, would even Senator
Morton have held her in higher esteem
Or had she been loyal and long,sighted
enough to hoist the old flag over Arling-
ton, and stand guard over her effects,
would not gentlemen have said: Here is
matron of Roman virtue, plucky and
strong-minded; a woman to be admired,

childhood; but aside from these things,

ness of making her suffer more severely

terson is mistaken in saying that she
" fed away into the storm" before her
husband. From an old servant of the
family, have heard that she fingered in
her home till her husband had repeatedly
written to her to join him. that before
leaving, she packed up such valuables as
she could not carry, precious heirlooms
and papers, and left them to the honor
able custody of our soldiers-(O, woman,
great was thy faithD; that, at the last,
she went all about the house and grounds,
and to the graves of her father and
mother, weeping bitterly. | have also
heard that when the time set by the will
of her father for the emancipation OF
certain slaves arrived, she promptly and
honorably sent through our lines such
as she had with her in Richmond
As we are in the forgiving line, can
we not forgive this heart-broken wife and
mother, and make her old age comforta-
BILE by generously paying for the noble
inheritance, forfeited by no crime OF
hers, unless it be a crime to stand by a
beloved husband whom in her happy
youth she took " for better, for worse 2
May we not believe that the august
spirit of Washington himself would ap-
prove of such an act Of magnanimity to-
ward the daughter of George Washing
ton Gusts, the dear little lad whom he
solemnly adopted by the death-bed of a
brave young father, who died in the SER
vice of the Republic?
In this matter l have simply spoken
my feelings as woman and for woman.

Ignorant Use OF Deadly Poisons

A process called Foremanizing, for
preventing the decay of timber, by
sprinkling it while green with powder
composed of corrosive sublimate, arse
mic and common salt, has been used in
the erection of railroad depot at St.
Louis with lamentable results. A large
number of the workmen we're poisoned,
and four or FIVE died from the effects of
inhaling the composition. A post-mor-
tenn examination of one of the victims
showed his stomach to be fearfully ulce-
rated, while the lungs and liver were
nearly destroyed by assesses, the right
lung being one mass of corruption. The
unfortunate man was first attacked with
ulcerous sores and blisters, then expe-
rienced great difficulty in breathing,
chronic diarrhea followed, and he finally
died. Many of the surviving workmen
are eaid to be permanently injured, and
eleven of them have brought suits against
the railroad company, laying damages at
$4,000 each. If the inventor of this
dangerous process had possessed a scien-
tifc knowledge of the effects of the power
full agents he used such a disaster would
not have occurred.

immense fortunes. Hence it is for their
interest to have friend at headquarters;
and il is matter of notoriety that the
big operators in whisky are lavish in the
use of money to accomplish their ends.
Some of General Grants most special
advisers are not above the suspicion Of
being susceptible to the influence Of pc
cuniary considerations, and thus an un-
expected nomination may be plausibly
accounted for without detriment to the
reputation of the gentleman who has
been appointed to the Office.
