work in it, not only at home, in the
hospitals, but also in places of danger
from which men often shrank. In this
sketch I propose merely q selection of
some instances showing the heroism of
American women In the war days. The
field is so large that the only embar-
rassment arises from the profusion of
the material
Incidents like the first one now to be
narrated have often been heard of and
written about, but they have not in
all cases been well authenticated.
The following is taken from an issue of
the Memphis argus, in 1868:
death OF A CAVALRY SOLDIER WHO
PROVES TO BE A WOMAN.
"a short time since a soldier belong
ing to Missouri cavalry regiment was
entered at the Overton Hospital for
treatment for fever contracted in camp.
Two or three days ago the soldier died,
but not before 1T had been revealed
that the supposed young man was a
woman. 1t seems that she entered the
army early in the war and served her
time faithfully as a soldier until mus
tered ont. During all this time she
was enabled to retain the secret of her
sex. A short time after leaving the
service she re-entered it as a veteran,
and had been with the regiment to
which she was attached a month or
two when sent to the hospital in this
city. Her real name, we learn, could
not be ascertained, but her experience
as related by herself was the old story
over again. She had followed her lover
into the army. and to be near him had
willingly braved the dangers of the bat
tle-feld, and bore the hardships and
exposures of campaign life. Her years
could not have been more than twenty
though who can estimate them in bit
ter experience which had been her lot.
Poor grill
Poor girl? Why not heroic girl ?
She left no name by which she may be
classed with the Jeanne d'Arcs, the
Maids of Saragossa, and the Molly
Pitchers Of history; but she was just
as pure, as noble. and as much of a
heroine as any of them. There is a
whole volume of romance In that touch
ing paragraph. We should like to
know that the man for whom she sacri-
feed herself was a good soldier and
worthy of her"
In the same year a correspondent of
the Cincinnati Times wrote as fol
lows from Camp Dick Robinson:
zone of the features of the First
Tennessee Regiment is the person of q
brave and accomplished young lady OF
but eighteen summers, and of prepos-
sessing appearance, named Sarah lay
Tor, of East Tennessee, who is the step
daughter of Captain Dowden. Miss
Taylor is an exile from her home, hay
ing joined the fortunes of her step

With his elbow crook'd. and his face in it.

Something we never could understand.

Brother or sister We never knew,
Nor whence he came TO He was q lad

Somehow it seemed that he was not brave,
Like the rest Of the boys, but he kept his

In the long and periIous march, poor Dave,
With c hushed resolve and q patient face
he asked favors, he made no sign
OF the pangs that pierced his pride like
And never a man in the old proud line
Had n cleaner soul or a kinder heart.
But Dave was a coward and that was enough,
In the army, to damn the saintliest soul

For steel-strung nerves and for self-control.
We had small time for sentiment then
Small time to squander childish fears.

That the tide turns late, and the pluck they

Faluers and those to the front Will come
Who were counted the weakest and scorned
Two siIences bid in the breast of the youth,
And one is the silence OF fear-and one
Is the golden, gOdlike silence of truth

1t looked that way for a while. but when
We saw him fash thrO' the breath of he'll
At Stone River, laughing among the men
When we caught the gleam of his yellow hair
Thro' the battery's smoke, and heard his
voice
Ring out thro' the roar Of the carnage there,
With the troops of Turchin from Illinois
When We saw. like star, his pale face shine
Thro' the leaping flames as We passed the
mouth
Of the blazing guns, in the broken line,
Whirling and hurting the gray coats South
When we saw, God help us ! his bOyish form
Battling apart from the rest. half hid
By the binding smoke and the bursting storm,
Where the dead were piled in a pyramid;
When we saw, in the front of the awful fray,
The bravest reel and the old flag fall,
Clutched in the hand OF the lad that lay
Riddled with shot, and beyond them all
When he saw ct the close of that fearful fight,
Two blue eyes and shock OF curls,
Clothed with blood, and face all white
And calm, in death, as n sleeping girls;
We turned away-and we spoke no word;
We turned, with a feeling OF shame o'erpow-
cred;
And We noticed that each mans eyes were
blurred
AS they fell on the face of that fallen coward.
I tell you the army was full of men
Like Dave. who, timid and half afraid,
Patiently abided their time, and then
Died, like Christ, on the barricade.

TALKS ON THE TARIFF.
AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE BENEFIT q

AN ILLUSTRATION OF THE BENEFIT OF
PROTECTION TO THE CONSUMER.
"Protection to domestic industries. "
says the american Economist, ''does not
necessarily mean higher prices for prod
ucts, as the attorney for free trade would
have US believe. Its more important
function is to insure market for what
is made at prices kept to the minimum
by domestic competition. For illustra-
ton here is company willing to put
capital into a wooden mill, and to give
ste eldy employment to hundreds of hands,
and be content with small profit, if
given assurance of a market for its
goods
"But if, after purchasing stock of
wool from neighboring farmers and pay
ing out thousands of dollars for labor,
taxes, insurance, ETC., the goods have to
be sold in competition with those of for
eigners, who have paid less for wages,
and nothing toward the support of gov
ernment, schools, etc., the result will be
that home made fabrics will disappear
from our markets. And they will not
reappear until wages and material are
low enough in this country to warrant
competition with the cheaper made goods
of foreigners.
"Thus it is that protection gives that
assurance of a market without which no
prudent man will undertake to manu-
facture anything at all. This certainty
enables him, to give work to men who,
without it, would be forced into some
other calling, if not compelled to remain
idle. The larger the number of enter
prises promising profit, the larger the
number of competitions will be found
among capitalists, the more of these, the
greater the demand for workmen, the
larger the proportion of profits given for
wages, and the lower the price to con-.
SumerS.
Theorists all the way from Golden to
Cleveland have contended that the cost
of all products was enchanced by the
amount of tariff laid on the portion sent
hither by foreigners, but against such
blind contention there stands the aSSur-
ance of market quotations that, in every
branch of protected industries, prices to
consumers are now lower, and wages to
employers are now higher than when the
national policy compelled dependence
upon foreign sources for the larger pro-
portion of manufactured articles used by
our people,"

A WORD ABOUT WOMEN.

New York Press
The old saying about woman i:
woman's worst foe is true when applied
to women who labor. 1t is said with fal
too much truth that women in factories
in business offices and in government
employ rarely if ever rejoice at the ad
vancement or promotion of their own sex
as overseers, managing clerks or chiefs
On the other hand, women occupying
responsible positions are authority for
saying the most bitter hostility comes
from their own sex who, as rule, prefer
almost anything on two legs, labeled
ga Man," to superintend or overlook
their work. Innumerable instances of
this sort might be given by employers OF
labor and by the heads of departments
of the government where large numbers
of women clerks are employed.
Said the head of an establishment
giving employment to over one thousand
women the other day in a published in
tcrview: ''In nearly every instance where
l have endeavored to advance women to
responsible positions it has been met by
the most persistent and systematic oppo-
sition from the other women. | have
about come to the conclusion that body
of women would sooner have a tobacco
chewing, cigar-stub putting, coarse man.
nered, irritable man over them than the
most amiable, efficient and business like
woman that cOuld he selected Why |
have known instances where number
of women consented without murmur
to have the Office boy, seated at roller
topped desk, give out work in the alb
scence of the chief rather than allow one
of their number, who was thoroughly
equipped, the post of honor"
Let US hope this is overdrawn. At the
same time there is, alas! far too much
truth in it.
Enthusiasts may picture bright future
for woman in this great and glorious
country of ours, but the realization will
come only when women drop absurd and
narrow prejudices and recognize in each
other, as men do, efficiency and superior
ity. The fate of women is largely in her
own hands. So long as anything on two
legs bearing the outward semblance of a
man receives more Difference from
women who work than the meritorious
of their own sex the struggle of women
to the front rank will be beset with al
most inSurmountable obstacles which
only the very strong and determined
will ever overcome.

THE NICE.

An old man used to say to his grand
daughter, when she used to be out OF
temper or naughty in any way:
"Mary, Mary, take care--there's a
mouse in the pantryl"
She used often to cease crying at this
and stand wondering to herself what he
meant, then run to the pantry to see il
there really was mouse in the trap; but
she never found one. One day she said
grandfather, don't know what you
mean; l haven't pantry, and there are
no mice in mothers, because I've looked
so often" He smiled and said:
"Come, and Ill tell you what l mean.
Your heart, Mary, is the pantry; the lit
tie sins are the mice that get in and nib
BILE away all the good; and that makes
you sometimes cross and peevish and
fretful. To keep them outyOu must set
trap-the trap of watchfulness."
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1890-03-27

The reason why q woman is afraid Of a
mouse is profound mystery-indeed, it has
never been very clearly proven that she Is.
But some women are constantly in such
nervous irritable condition that the slightest
thing annoys and startles them. The cause Of
this unfortunate state of affairs is usually
some functional arrangement; some distress
ing or painful irregularity, some derange-
ment or peculiar weakness incident to her
sex; or, it may be due TO Inflammation, ul-
ceration or displacement, of some of the
pelvic viscera, or to other organic LESSONS

it may arise, DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
