A VIRGINIA HEROINE
The TREATMENT SHE RECEIVES FROM
THE GoyERNMENT, COMPARED WITH
Irs TREATMENT or FEMALE REBELS.

Washington Correspondence OF Cincinnati
Comihercial
Having the honor Of an acquaintance
with one of those heroines, a woman now
earning her bread in the Treasury, but
who during the war performed an act
which entities her to the homage of ev-
cry loyal heart, want to tell her story
to the world. 1t may have been famil-
lar to some, long years ago, but we are
so busy remembering the evil things
that are done, that the brave deeds are
forgotten, unless their story is often re-
peated.
There is no portion Of all the South in
in which centres more of historic interest
than in the Shenandoah valley of Viz
ginia, and to no point does memory turn
as quickly as to Winchester, which was
captured and lost so many times. The
old town seemed to be the plaything OF
fate, and loyal hearts sank little lower
each time the old flag was hauled down
Winchester and Sheridan are names
forever linked together. The people who
hated the stars and stripes then do not
love Little Phil now. Those who were
loyal to their country will keep his men,
DRY green as long as those days of alter.
nate hopes and despair are remembered.
His prompt courage gave them confidence
in him, and his success imbued them
with hope.
On the main street of Winchester, just
! where it commences to climb up the hill
toward the place on which General Wash
ington used to camp, where little and big
children still 90 10 drink from the deep,
deep well, dug by his orders, stands
plain two-story house. Like all the
neighboring houses, it not only stands
on a line with the pavement, but its
front porch and cellar door, by sort Of
squatter's sovereignty, occupy part of it,
When the war commenced that house
was occupied by Amos NJ. Wright and
his family. members of the Society OF
Friends. Like most of their sect, they
remained loyal TO their country, in spite
of oppression, abuse and suffering. The
father was dragged from his home and
subjected to such harsh treatment that
his health was ruined, and death follow
ed close in his footsteps on his return
They saw desolation and ruin all about
them; the day of rejoicing seemed te
move father and father into the dim fu'
ture, but their fidelity never wavered.
In September, 1864, Early's forces oc
cupied Winchester, controlling that por
ton of the valley. General Sheridan
command lay some miles away, waiting
favorable opportunity to make an at
tack. Information was wanted concern
ing the portion and strength of the enc
nv. and all the usual methods of obtain
ing It had been tried and failed.
In endeavoring to find some means @
obtaining this information, Gen. Sheri
dan was reminded of the devoted loyalt
of this family, and he believed that thos
who could be so true would also be brav
enough to take some risks. DecldinI

from personal violence.
In 1868 she succeeded in obtaining
employment in the division of issues OF
the treasury. 1t was not place affording
any opportunity for advancement, but an
eternal count, count, count of currency
"a work in which fingers and brain are
almost transformed into machines.
Miss Wright was lady of education,
refinement and culture, fitted to grace
the best society that that this proud city
can boast Of. But with a grand courage
she put her hopes. her aspirations aside
and entered upon the work determined
to save her aged mother from feeling the
great changes brought them BY the war
When she became Mrs. Bonsall she
left the department, but misfortune ov-
ertaking her husband she again bravely
took up the work. At one time when a
reduction of the force was made she was
dropped, but the efforts Of her friends
secured speedy reinstatement. Wheth-
er now in the changing conditions Of
affairs, she is any more secure in her po-
sition than is another woman from
Winchester who is employed in the
government printing Office here, would
be hard to say woman who, as late
as ls67-S.9, would go into the muddy
streets to escape passing under the des-
pised stars and stripes which aoated at
the headquarters of the federal troops.
1t is excellent to forgive-when pardon
is craved it may not be a bad thing to
forget sometimes, but is hard thing to
do, when ringing in the ears is the ap-
peal Of the daughter of as loyal a man
as ever lived, himself citizen of
Winchester, q man who sacrificed his
honor and his fortune to maintain his
fidelity to his country. He has "crossed
the river and is resting beneath the trees
on the other side" This daughter is the
only support Of his aged widow, and
after long struggle secured a position
in the government printing Office, but at
a reduction of the force she was dis
charged, and the one who preferred to
encounter a sea Of mud rather than let
so much as a shadow Of the old flag rest
upon her was retained.
Verify, times are changing when the
opportunity is refused the daughter of
a man who wonld have died willingly
that the Union might have been pre-
served, and given to the child who would
as willingly have died to destroy the
Union. Until there is bread enough,
and to spare, it would seem as if the
whole slices belonged to the children OF
the household, permitting those who
have only lately acknowledged their
membership in the family to manage on
the crumbs. We may consent to pay a
price for Arlington, but we are not yet
approaching that condition Of unconcern
in which we can forget that thousands OF
our brave men are encamped there, rest
ing through night whose ending will
usher in the dawn Of the resurrection
morn.
The heroine of the battle of the 10Th
of September, 1864, deserves a recogni-
ton of her services by the government
the best it has to bestow is none too
good; the least it can do is to insure her
place in which to earn living as long
has need of it.

AT the Sign of the Tyre" is the quaint title OF
n volume Of previously uncollected verse which Mr..
Austin Dobson proposes to print almost immodi-
ately. He has just brought out his " Old World
Idyls" a selection from his books now out Of print
in England.
Mr.. Howells and Mr.. f. Marion Crawford arc
mentioned as among the contributors to iorthcoln-
ing numbers of The Independent.
Mr. Farieon has written novelette, which will
form the Christmas number of TinSleys Magazine.
Ii is entitled Little Make-Belieye."
Leopold Won Rankc, now in his eghty-eighth
wear is reported to be manifesting marvellous
yigor and power of work. He is about to bring out
a new volume.
The Century will publish Mr.. Howells's new story.
The Patrick Henry" which Professor NJ. c. Ty-
Ter is preparing for the American Statesmen"
series ought to be a striking book. The surround
ings of his subject and the Virginan manners Of
the time give scope for much picturesque descrp-
ton Professor Tyler has only TO restrain his undue
liking for adjectives.
Robert Buchanan belittles himself by describing
Keats as a fasetto singer"

question If life be worth living a member of

The lines one detects some individual experience.

broken of from the coast of France by the action
of the sea. Then follow a medley of chapters
sGuernscy" " The Grass" " Sea Perils," and so on
TO The Power of Stone breakers" and The Kind
illness of the Inhabitants" The impression left on
the mind by their perusal Is of storm and sound
ing seas, of gray skies and inhosptable coasts The
characteristic of the Channel Islands on which
Victor Hugo harps most is the sharp and perpetual
contrasts which they present in every department
Of life and the triumphant proof they afford Of the
compatibility Of extremes" To begin with, the
