A Woman-SoIdier.

Some curious biographies of wo-
men who served as soldiers in the
French army have recently been pub
lished in Paris. The most remarlxa-
Bile and romantic of all is that of
Therese Sutter. who died at Paris in
1861 at the age of eigoty-four. In
1898 she enlisted in the Legion All
obrogienne, employed at the siege of
Toulton, and there distinguished her.
self for bravery. Her excessive free
dom of speech gave her the soubri-
quet of Sansgene. The First Consul
remembered all attack that woman
made upon him with her tongue
when he was Colonel of artillery.
After the capture of Toulton, The
rese entered the Fifteenth Dragons
and took part in the campaign in
Catalogue. At that time appeared
the decree of the Committee of Pub
lie Safety banishing women from the
armies of the Republic; but this fe-
male dragoon had distinguished her
self by so many daring exploits that
an exception was made in her favor.
She was in the Italian campaign,
and in 1900, after five years service,
received a pension of 200 francs,
with which she retired to Monteli-
mas. But the monotonous life of a
country village soon wearied this
heroine. and she took service again
i'll the Ninth Dragons. She went
through the campaigns of 1905, 1906
and 1910 in Spain, where she was
captured by guerillas. She was sent
to Lisbon, and thence made her way
back TO France, by way of England.
She arrived in 1914, and entered the
service Immediately. 1t was not un-
til after Waterloo, that she decided
to retire. In tue course of her ex-
ploits she had been once wounded
by firearms and four times with the
saber; she had five horses killed un-
der her, aud, single.handed, she at
tackled a patrol of cavalry. which had
captured General Roguey, aud re-
leased her commander After Wa
terlOo Therese, who had married q
NJ. Sutter, entered the Hospital of
Enghien. where she lived on her mod
est pension until it was largely aug
mented by Napoleon III.

a Negro in the sleeping Car.

Southern correspondence Cincinnati Commercial.
Pullman, of car fame, has met the
Civil Rights issue at the threshold,
but in manner which will lead to
trouble on the Southern lines. He
has issued orders that colOred men
be given equal accommodations with
the whites for the same money.
Now you may prepare for sleeping
car difficulties. The negro in the
sleeping car will be a new phase of
the everlasting question, and may
abide with us for some time.
Last Saturday. on the train east
ward from Macon, Ga, we are in
formed by local paper. that large
black negro entered the sleeping
car and presented the conductor his
ticket for upper berth No. 15 The
conductor, we are told, examined
the ticket very closely, trying to
find getting-out place, but, alas
there was none, Pullman's orders
holding him up to the scratch. .'The
lower berth" continues The account,
''was occupied by Baltimore lady,
who Immediately left it and took
refuge in the passenger car, where
she remained seated during the
night
: The Mobile Register. speaking of
this, says: MIR. Pullman shows no
disposition to prevent the intrusion
of negroes into the sleeping cars.
OF course no decent white citizens
will hereafter patronize a man who
permits his wife and daughter TO be
brought into contact with negroes.
We hope the Southern press will
represent the danger to which our
travellers are exposed from the IA
natical efforts of Mr.. Pullman to
transport foul odors, Vermin and
disease.
1t seems that Mr.. Pullman intends
to serve colored people the same as
whites. and to run his cars over the
roads. But it cannot be
accomplished without trouble, and
without loss to him of more dol
lars and cents than the custom of

An Honest Sheriff.

One of the most conscientious
sheritfs on record has turned up in
Iowa. A railroad was to he sold at
Sheriff's sale. and friendly agree
ment was made by which this model
official was to receive $3.50 in pay
ment for his part in the transaction,
which required two hours, perhaps,
of his valuable time But after the
sale he happened to look at the
statute which fixed his fees. when he
found TO his horror that he had been
transgressing the laws of the State,
Which declared that he should re
ceive no other fees than those le-
gally assigned him. So he refused
the liberal sum offered him, and said
he would take nothing but his law
full fees, which. in this instance. it
seems, amounted to $1,000. The
railroad men enGeavored to hold
him to his original bargain, but he
was too conscientious to violate the
laws he was appointed to uphold.
and. the case going to the courts,
his integrity was rewarded by a YER
dict in his favor.

Having paid more attention to ag
riculture of late. find much to com
plain Of; but as it is easier to finc
fault than to correct, | will mention
only one mischief. yet not without
suggesting remedy. Farmers gen
orally gather their fruit, peaches and
apples. before they are ripe. Upon
pressing Inquiry, | invariably, though
reluctantly. receive the same answer,
that Dick Tom and Harry come and
ask for fruit, and that Tim, Ben and
Dan come and take without asking.
So. to save themselves. they have to
hurry and take in their fruit before
ripe, or get but little. Renters (and
some other peopIel commonly have
no orchards and would not plant any
on other peoples land. This is
fraught with manifold evil conse.
quences. Fruit is not as much, as
it is taken inbefore it is fully grown;
it is not as sweet and not as whole
some, and our dried fruit, an impor.
tant article of commerce In East
Tennessee, will not gain a good rep
utation, and consequently not bring
as good a price. A common peach.

ed peach half matured, and in the
same proportion viii dried peaches
be better. Farmers might try it on
a few trees. near enough to be under
their personal guard and supervision.
They will (ind themselves richly paid,
particularly if they shake the trees.
and not beat down the fruit with
sticks and rocks, which. besides, is
apt to injure the bearing the next
season. Now. let every man that
has land to rent make condition,
co1aditi0 sine qua non, without which
the land viii not be rented that the
renter plant every year one dozen
fruit trees on the place, until an or
chard in proportion to the size of
the tract is started. The mutual ad-
vantage is obvious. This is rather q
slow remedy. but a radical one. If

A Princess on a Spree.
NeYada Silver State

Last Sunday evening the Plute
Princess Sarah Winnemucca, not
withstanding the recent rise in spir-
its, imbibed a little too freely of the
exhilarating cordial. AS a conse-
quence, her temper rose to a cores
ponding height. and, melted by jeal-
ousy, her usually serene Highness
became very turbulent. In this spir-
itualistic mood she made a raid on a
eampoody in the rear of the court
house, which sheltered one of her
maids of honor. whose youthful
charms had made an impression on
young prince of the tribe for whom
the somewhat antiauated princess
entertained feelings warmer than
those Of purely friendly character.
With the royal blood of seventy-nine
generations of Winnemuccas boiling
in her veins, and a quart or such a
matter of diluted alcohol steaming
in her stomach. her heart fired with
jealousy and her brain burning with
fury, she proceeded to apply match
to the combnstible material of which
the campoody is constructed, but her
hand was stayed by the brawny arm
of'one of her stalwart subjects before
she succeeded in making a bonfire of
the structure. At this juncture the
object Of her hate appeared on the
scene, and a lively hair pulling en-
sued, in which the princess was
worsted. The noise and confusion
incident to the struggle attracted q
crowd of palefaces to the scene,
when the vanquished sovereign ap-
pealed to them for assistance. She
went to Sheriff Nash and implored
him to arrest the victor, whom she
represented as being a Modoc squaw,
but as hostilities had ceased THAT Of
feer refused to interfere, and the
discounted princess retired IN dis
gust, and has been laid up for re-
pairs since the contest. 3 a4'.'"e
