senior. They were married in the
spring OF 1861. Three days after their
wedding he came home and informed
her that he had enlisted in the army.
At first she took the news quite serious
ly. but soon made up her mind that
she would not be separated from her
husband on this account. The boat
which was to carry the volunteers to
their destination was about to pull out
Of her pier when 1t was discovered that
Cady Brownell. as she was best known.
had secreted herself on board. One Of
the crew Informed Col. Burnside Of the
fact. and despite her pleadings. she was
put ashore. Her persistent requests to
be enrolled in the army were finally
acceded to by William Sprague. who
was then governor Of Rhode Island,
and she became a member Of the End
battalion Of the LIST Rhode Island de-
tached militia, which was then being
equipped. Her uniform was not unlike
that of the men. consisting Of a blue
flannel blouse and rather full, short
skirt. She always wore her belt and
sabre, and on the march wore boots.
At the expiration Of her term she re-
turned to Providence, where she re-
ceived a regular discharge, but later
re-enlisted in the 5th Rhode Island
regiment. Her company was among
those placed under the command Of
Burnside, and on March Is. 1862, the
Union forces debarked on the banks Of
the Neuse river. preparatory to the
memorable battle Of Newbern.
1t was during this battle that Brown
ell was badly wounded. He never re-
covered from the wounds received suff1-
GENTLY to enter active service. and in
the spring of 1868 they were both dis
charged and went back to their home

Of the Grand Army Of the Re-

elected a member Of the Elias Howe.

The most costly wine in the world
is that contained in a cask called the
Rose" in the cellar of the town hall of
Bremen. 1t is Rudesheim Rhine wine
of the year 1853, and the cask is replen-
ished when wine is drawn with care
fully washed and dried gravel. The
wine is the color of a dark beer and
has a hard taste, but an indescribable
aroma. It is never sold, but given to
the sick of Bremen in very small guam
titles on production of medical GER
tificate. A bottle containing eight
glasses is estimated to be worth 81
500, 900, or $500 a drop. The only per-
