MAJOR PAULINE CCsHMAN. = This
Justly famous lady, who will ever be
remembered in the history Of the great
American rebellion as the Union spy
of the Cumberland, brief mention Of
whose arrival at Virginia City we
made In our issue Of yesterday,
will probably remain at the Interna-
tional Hotel for q few days as she de-
sires to take a good look ut the happy
land Of sagebrush and silver bricks, OF
which she has read and heard so much.
She feels perfectly at home among a
staunch, loyal people like ours. Her
lectures throughout the East, giving a
description of her exploits, daring adj
ventures, sufferings and almost death
In behalf Of the Union cause were very
popular, and she accumulated quite
a snug little fortune, which she
subsequently invested In Chicago, and
was unfortunate enough to lose 1t all
in the great lire. Judging from a brief
interview with her an evening or
two since, she Is q lady not only
of very brilliant attachments, but Of
a we'll cultivated mind, rendered all
the more vigorous and a~ppreciative by
her remarkable experiences In tho
great school Of the world. We have
seldom seen n person OF greater or
more attractive conversational powers,
and can we'll imagine the magic, AMI
mated interest she can throw Into her
lectures, one Of which 1t Is to DO hoped
she will give while here. She Is Of
Franco-Spanish descent, q native of
Louisiana, and although her relations
when the rebellion broke out were on
the side Of the South. Pauline could
not desert the old flag OF her country.
but ever remained true to 1t and
its defenders. She Is about thir-
ty-six years Of age, Of good
size and commanding appearance, a
handsome brunette, and n who
would be recognized among a thousand
rs among the superior order Of man or
womanEind. She has won for herself
a high position in the temple OF fame
and will be ever regarded with CRATE
fnl interest by all true American
patriots.
