Disguised Female Cab Drivers.

A WOMAN mas recently been detected
in England who has been driving cab.
in the guise of man, for the past ten
years. She was born, it seems, at Tam.
ton, Somerset, where her father was land
agent to a nobleman. She had great
liking for handling the ribbons" and
learned to drive horses while very young.
When little more than fourteen years of
age she was married. to an army surgeon
by the name of Honeywell, and her
name, ASA married woman, is Margaret
Honeywell. 4, The two lived so unhappily
together that at length she ran away
from home and went to London. She
there met with a woman who had former
ly been farm servant to her father and
who had married cabman, and, from
what she heard in regard to the cab
driving business, she resolved to earn an
independent living in that branch of in
dustry. By wearing her hair short, and
by a judicious use of clothing, she man
aged to present the appearance of
short, stout man. Her face being of
masculine type, her complexion ford,
AMI she having an impeachment in her
speech caused by defective palate, con-
spired to render the illusion perfect. For
three years in London and six in Liver
pool she piled the whip as d cab "man,"
her sex being unknown and unsupported
bye all. Mrs. Honeywell states that
during the time she acted as a "cabby"
she saw a notice in newspaper that her
husband had failed in business. In all
probability the public would notyhave
heard, for some time, of this female cab
driver, had it not been for her unfor-
tunate share in theft, which caused her
arrest and discovery. 4, s,y .sl-ge! Sd. 3.,
A similar instance has occurred In
Paris Some months ago the driver of a
cab died suddenly, and was replaced a
few days later by quiet, delicate look
ing confrere, who was rather remarkable
for his civility to his customers and for
his singular unsociable and silent man
ners. The other coachmen dubbed him
Little Louis" and troubled their heads
very little about him, though, in spite of
his silence and unsociability, he was al
ways obliging, and ready to render ,serv-
ice to anyone. The other day poor
Little Louis" was missing from his
stand, He had fallen sick, and had been
taken to the hospital, where it was speed
lily discovered that the quiet little coach
man was in reality woman. 1t appears
that she was the wife of the coachman,
who had died suddenly. Being left with
an infant few months old, she had
formed the desperate resolve of taking
her dead husbands place, and thus sup
porting herself and her child. So she
put her infant out to nurse, donned male
attire, and for some months endured al!
the hardships and exposures of a cab
drivers life. At the end of that time her
child fell sick and died, and then the
poor mother broke down, too, and be-
came seriously ill. A few days of fever
and delirium in the hospital, and then
the end came, and the poor creatures
toiis and sorrows were ended. A strange,
sad little romance was this out of the
many that stud the annals of the poor of
Pans.

physician, is an infallible cure for con-

Remarkable Adventure Of C0lOred
| Child.

A CURIOUS story is told of the wonder
full experience of colored boy, aged six
years, who, with his father and mother
and home, were Sunday night suddenly
swept out upon the broad bosom of the
raging Tennessee. Their log cabin hap
pened to be located near the mouth of q
small stream which had never ) been
known in any previous freshet to reach
the height of its site. The family, there
fore, went to bed feeling the utmost
security and soon fell into peaceful
slumbers. About midnight they were
suddenly awakened and greatly startled
by loud noise, and by the time they
had fairly gotten their eyes open the
whole building was swept off into the
flood and commenced to rapidly float
down stream. AS it shot out of the
mouth of the stream into the Tennessee
Invent to pieces against some logs which
were floating down the river, leaving the
frightened trio on the floor portion of
the cabin, holding fast to q Central post
which had supported thin, loose roof.
the boards of which fell thickly all
around them. The husband, fearing the
remaining portion might separate, made
two RATS out Of the fallen logs, which
had continued to float down alongside
the remains of the house. These were
composed of four logs and of two logs
tied together with strips torn from blank
cts. He placed and tied his six-year-
old boy on the latter, while himself and
wife took the former. Determined to
reach the shore, if possible, he drew the
two RATS together and started out from,
the house, paddlingas best he could with
board, his wife in the meantime at
tempting to hold the RATS in position.
but in this her strength failed her, and
being already benumbed with cold, she
helplessly permitted the boy to swing
loose and to driftimme diUdly out of her
reach. The hnsband attempted to paddle
toward the boy, but to no purpose. civ
ing up all hope of ever again seeing him,
he worked most laboriously, finally get,,
ting out OF theEur7ent and into the back
waters and thence TO land. He dis
covered next morning that he had

and q half hours drifted down

Of his hoTes The boy was found float

men who were crossing the river about
twenty-five miles above, Jacksonville In !

The Tornado In Louisiana.

Friday last, the country near Smith
land, on the Ouachita River, between
Lone Grave and Rays Point, was visited
by o tornado which, for terrific ferocity,
has no parallel in the history of the
State. e3 ue9tf Fps
A large, black cloud, from which
emitted lightning, crossed over the face
of the heavens, and simultaneously came
a Numbering noise, as that of an earth
quake, which set the whole country in
terror and confusion. The people now
apprehended mighty storm, and busted
themselves in precautions for personal
safety, and the horses and cows fled in
discriminatory like stricken things. q
The storm soon came, and tore a pas
sage through the pine-tree forest, not
only leveling every tree in its course,
but tearing up the little shrubs and
bushes that beset its Way gAItta
All the buildings, the fences and cattle
at Rays Point were scattered all over
the country; and Smithland was razed
to the ground The tornado, cleared the
forest near Rays Point to width of per-
haps more than 800 yards. and ran to d
distance of fifteen miles below Smith
land, west of the Ouachita River, and
rushing into the swamps was there lost.
The destruction committed is con-
ceived to be terrible, but its actual ex-
tent is yet unknown. Dead animals lay
miles away from the path of the tornado,
and the only evidences of previous hu.
man habitations in the line of its march
were things scattered along the ground
and on the tree tops. .ss ~.
4 Three persons are known to have been
killed Mrs. James Adair and two chill
dren. The loss of life is expected to be
much larger and the loss Of property APP
palling, but the extent is as yet unknown.
