DR.. MARY WALKER.
The War Record of This Most Eccentric
American Woman.

The War Record of This Most Eccentric
American Woman.
As regards Senator Evarts' bill for the
relief of DR.. Mary Walker the records
of the War Department do not go far to-
ward substantiating her claim for S1O,-
600. They state that she was profess
sionally examined and nominally COM
missioned as an assistant surgeon. The
language of the report made by the ex-
aiming surgeon states that DIR. Walkers
knowledge of materia medica is not SUI
perior to that possessed by any ordinary
housewife and that he deemed her only
competent to act as female nurse. Not
withstanding this report she was as
signed to duty as nominal assistant sur
geon, with the Fifty Ohio Infant
~, then in the front. so that she might
have a chance to go through the lines
and get information of the enemy. Her
intrepidity is well-known to the army of
the Cumberland. Her self-assigned duty
as a scout compelled her to masquerade
for the first time in mems attire. In
that dress she was captured, but the dis
covery of her sex saved her from being
hanged as a spy. She was sent to
Richmond, and while imprisoned
sne endured all the hardships of the
other prisoners. Her knowledge Of
medicine proved of great benefit to the
Union men. After a while liberties
were given her that were unusual The
authorities permitted her to walk up
and down the prison enclosure on the
outside. She never walked alone, how
ever, DuJ was always escorted by huge
bloodhound, who was as faithful to the
Confederate side as she was loyal to the
Northern side. He would lag along be-
hind until the limits of the walk were
reached, when he would step to the
front and cause her to turn around again.
