1t would naturally seem that the life Of
a soldier would present very small attrac-
tons for any woman; that the fatigue, ex-
posture, and constant danger of wounds
and death would deter her from any wish
for such profession. Yet there are, APP
parently, few women to whom the eX-
element of such life is not distasteful,
but who really enjoy serving IN the ranks.
Andilcia Bravo has twice served in the
Carlist ranks in Spain. On the first oc
casion she, with other soldiers, was taken
prisoner while fighting against the Gov
eminent troops, and was sentenced to be
banished to the Canary islands. But
Punishment was not in the role which An
dalica Bravo had laid down for herself,
and she disclosed the fact that she was
"only woman" Ho"ever, as soon as
she was free she again donned male attire,
and enlisted in another Carlist battalion.
The penetrating glance of the priest of
her native village found her out the sec
ond time. The cure, passing through
town where Andilicia regiment was quar-
tered, was struck by her likeness to one of
his flock, and asked whether she was not
Andilicia Bravo. mo-" said she, 81
am her brother" But inquiries instituted
by the dissatisfied cure resulted in the
confirmation of his suspicious. Don Car
los, when told o. the occurrence, present
ed the girl with military cross OF merit,
but ordered that she should be sont to the
military hospital in Durango, to Oecomea
nurse there When he visited this hos
pital Andalcia implored him to allow her
to rejoin her sgiment, and Don Carlos is
said to have promised that when he or
ganized battalion of women he would
make her colonel. She replied, "rhat
wil never happen" The confinement
and work of the hospital are very trying
to Andalicia, and she has made various
efforts to obtain a release.

10 the Publisher of the Belfast Advertiser:
As the article in your issue of Tuesday last
will tend to mislead the public as to the result
Of The conversation referred to, and the compar
atlNe standing and advantages offered by the
-ftna and Globe Life Ins. Companies ] am
forced to make the following statement. viz :;
That the policy holders of the Etna Life who
We're present on that occasion, and others who
were not. have renewed their insurance in the
-ttna, and others previously insured in the
Globe have since taken new insurance in the
-ftna. after a careful examination of the Mass.
and New York insurance Commissioners re-
port for Jan. 1874, showing the standing of both
companies, notwithstanding Mr.. kigore (agent
tor the Globe was present on both occasions
to advocate his company, and favored plans OF
insurance by which the insured lose ereTYhing,
should they live and fail to pay the full ten or
twenty years, and on which the poliry guorau-
tees bur SDa0N porioh or tie oqeut's eMi.
Ht0fe>.
BY reference to the Massachusetts report for
for jan, 1874, pages iyi and Liz (Which is
the highest authority as to the standing of all
companieSl YOU will notice that the Etna Life
has assets Of slS.923 ,s93. with total liabilities
(includng capital stock Of SlI991 1896, leaving
surplus for dividends of S926...3O. BY the
same report You will notice the Globe has as
sets of S40S4 199, and their total liabilities in-
GLIDING capital stock are 81 ,0S9 26;-showing
deficiency of 1906 in capital stock which
must be made good before the payment of any
dividend. The same report shows the ratio OF
expense in the -Etna TO be only about one-hali
the ratio of expense in the Globe, and that the
-ftna realized an average OF over s per cent in
tertst on investments for the wear of lS1,
while the Globe realized an average of over
Is per cent.
shall be al the New England House a few
DAYS. and shall be pleased TO show YOU or others
interested in the above reports, and let every
man Judge for himself of the ability of the .Etna
and Globe 10 furnish cheap and reliable insur-
ancc. The above reports may also be seen by
calling upon Col. Pho IIerSey, local agent for
the .Etna Life in this city. With this statement
Of facts would refer all interested to the official
report, above mentioned, that are more likely
TO be correct than agents opinions.
