THE OOLORED GIRL IN BLUE.

Catharine Hill, the c0lored woman in
Philadelphia who has made an applica-
tion for pension on the ground Of hav
ing served in the army during the late
war, and for wounds received in battle,
tells a most remarkable story. She
claims to have enlisted in the Fifth
Maryland Regiment under the name Of
Henry Williams, and was passed by two
surgeons, to whom she paid $50 to say
nothing about her sex. She is thirty
two years Of age, aud yet claims to have
served three years on the field aud seven
months in hospitals. She was wounded
four times, once in the face ia a b5yle
iu Virginia, aud was shot in the thigh
and ribs in a sklrmish near New bern,
North Carolina While in a hospital
her sex was discovered, but the rhysi-
clan who attended her kept the secret,
and at the close Of the war she was hon
orably discharged She claims to be
able to substautiate her story by her
discharge papers, aud says that prior to
entering the army she had passed a
medical examination at the hands Of
Drs. Greek and Perry, Of Baltimore.
Captain WoOdville commanded her
company, while Colonel Frish COM
manded the regiment She was mus
tered in at Camp Belger, remained
there six weeks, when with others she
was mustered out and sent to Fortress
Monroe, where she stayed i've months,
and then was mustered out again and
sent to Halifax, Va, aud from there,
after fighting battle, went to Raleigh,
y. G. DIR. Wood, Of Twentieth aud
Wood streets, Philadelphia, she says, has
her discharge. She named many of her
old comrades, among them Captain
West, Of Baker street, aud Rsddy, Clark,
Johnston, Griffin aud Joyce, all of Balti-

WHAT CAUSES CYCLONES.

Professor Tice, the well-knOwn wealth
er prophet and scientist Of St. Louis,
has recently advanced a new and re-
markable theory Of the cause Of cyclones,
which, coming from so eminent a source
will find many supporters.
Defining cyclones as the generic
name for all storms that have rotary
motion around an axis, such as whirl-
winds, tornadoes, water-spouts and hur-
ricanes, the Professor calls attention to
certain marked peculiarities of storms
of this nature which have recently dew
astated portions of the East. Among
the most notable facts is the affinity
which the tornado seems to have for
metallic substances, frequently passing
over shingled buildings to expend its
fury upon one covered with a tin roof.
A stone weighing 10000 pounds, though
only exposed on one side five inches TO
the tornado, was lifted out Of its bed
near Marshfield, Missouri, aud carried
seven feet. The gigantic force expended
In this and similar instances seems en-
tirely dispropOrtionate to the strength
OF the wind, no matter how great its
velocity. The explanation given Is that
they are all the effect Of electric action.
One pound of water measures q. 70
cubic inches; that is, Il, 1874 cubic incht 8

GENERAL HANOOOK's WIFE.


Mrs. Hancock, the wife Of the Gen
eral, is few years his junior in age,
and as q woman is as imposing in ap-
pearance as he is as g man. Tall and
well proportioned, with a most wiusome
smile, manner that puts you at your
ease at once, and pair Of eyes that ami
mate every line OF a handsome face, she
is still a beauty, although her hair is
streaked with Lray. She was married
when the General was bat a young
Lieutenant doing duty in the far West.
II was entirely a love match, aud
neither Of them has since regretted it /;
in fact, their home is one Of the happiest
imaginable. Mrs. Hancock has always
been opposed to her husbands becoming
a candidate for the Presidency. She is
even above the weakness of wishing TO
be mistress of the White House. She
breads the worry Of the canvass, and II
her husband is elected she thinks that
the honor which the position brings
will be dearly purchased by the renun-
citation Of all domestic life for four years
to come and Of his position as senior
Major General and his chances Of soon
becoming chief Of the army. While she
prefers her own home existence, how
ever, there is no one better qualified to
