Lincoln on the occasion Of one of his
visits to the army of the Potomac, and
ths. he spoke to hi by her army name,
which She prefers now to her real name
of Leonard. She also relates that on ar
other occasion when she determined to
leave the army Gen. Mcclellan persuad-
ed her to stay, saying her services were
invaluable. 1t was this that induced her
to stay until the close of the war.
She cannot recall all the battles in
which she participated, but she recol-
lects Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, the
Seven Days fight and the operations
around Richmond. There were other
struggles, but their names have faded
from her memory.
Since leaving the army her life has
been one of privation and struggle.
She married Richard Leonard, dash
ing eN-cavalryman, whose winning
ways proved but the mask of a reckless
disposition. He drank, beat her and
squandered her money. For several
years she kept tavern on the Browns
vile road, n few miles from Pittsburgh.
When she sold it she, by the advice of
her husband, invested the greater part
of the proceeds in gold, then at a
premium. She had 5000 in gold, and he
persuaded her to intrust it to his care.
Within month he had squandered
every cent, leaving her penniless save
for the little home she had bought. He
capped the climax of his conduct by
burning her zouave suit, which she had
carefully preserved since the war. Then
she drove him from her house.
When asked why she did not have him
punished, she replied simply:
"He was soldier. Iwould never have
n soldier locked up"
The old woman lives entirely alone.
She is very anxious that her pension be
granted. Sometimes" she said, 81

Her little property, worth n few hun
dred dollars, is willed to the soldiers
home at Dayton, o., she says. With the
exception of her husband she has not a
legal heir in the wide world that she
knows of. The close of the life of this
heroine of the war is drawing near amid
the gloom of friendlessness and power

BUSINESS OF A DIVER.
It Is Attended by a Great Variety
of Serious Risks.
How the Diving Suit Is Made, Worn

ing of the mechanism by which he is
supplied with air and to the strength
of the life line, which lowers and pulls
him up.
The diving suit, which is the one gen.
orally used now, is made of India rub
ber, with a helmet and breastplate of
copper. Outside of the rubber, to pro-
tect it from hard usage, an extra suit
of canvas overalls is worn, and after
rough piece of work this canvas is
frequently torn to shreds. Around his
waist the diver wears belt made of
bars of lead fastened crosswise on a
leather band. His shoes are of metal,
heavily weighted, so that he can main
| tain an erect position easily, and the
entire suit with which he enters the
water weighs about IT'S pounds. This
is necessary to enable him to sink to
| the required depth. The helmet is sup
| piled with windows of thick glass, one
| in front and two others at each side
of it, so that by turning his head slight
ly inside the helmet the diver can see
for some distance around him.
The air tube is of strong, flexible rub
ber, through which the fresh air from
above is driven down by means of a
| pump. This tube. before reaching the
opening in the helmet through which
the air is supplied to the diver, is car
ried through a ring on the breastplate
at the divers left shoulder. This is SC
that he may be able to grasp it quick
y. without having to grope for it, in
case he needs to signal to those at the
pump above. One pull on the tube

ticipant in the revolution of 1S4S and
there got her first taste of vivandiere's
work, for French Mary" was vivan-
diere-the only one in the union army.
When the struggle was over she mar
ried. She was but Is and an orphan
when Bernard Tebe sought her hand.
He was a tailor and she followed the
same trade. For six years they lived
In Paris, and from there went to Lon
don. The change proved unsatisfac-
tory. Finding nothing TO keep them in
England they came to the United States,
settling in Philadelphia, where they
were at the outbreak of the war.
Tebe was anxious to enlist in the
Twenty-seventh Pennsylvania volun-
teers, one of the first regiments organ
lied in Philadelphia, but hesitated to
leave his wife alone. But she wanted
him to 20 and take her with him to the
front. The recruiting officers refused
this, but Tebe was so insistent that they
wrote to Washington about the matter.
Mrs. Leonard says it was President Lin
coin himself who gave the necessary
permission for her to accompany the
Twenty-seventh.
The Twenty-seventh was three
months regiment and did not get into
much rcsl fighting. When the One
Hundred and Fourteenth was organized
an Philadelphia she went with il to the
front. The soldiers then realized that
"French Mary" who had been acting
as head laundress, was in reality a
heroine. She did not stay in the rear
with the nurses and surgeons when
there was fighting on hand, but went
into the thiclest of the conflict on her
work of mercy, She wore an odd COM
bination of male and female attire, an
army blouse and trousers, and Short
skirt that came to her knees. Over her
shoulder was strapped a wooden keg,
and she carried bundle of lint and
bandages.
She was perfectly fearless. Wherever
the One Hundred and Fourteenth went
there she was to be found. At Fred
ericksburg she was wounded, her only
injury during her military career. She
was standing in the front rank, where

two pulls warn the bumpers that he is
getting too much. If the air were sup
piled in excess the suit would become
go buoyant that it would tend to rise.
After being passed through the shoul-
der ring the tube goes around and en-
ters the helmet at the back. From here
the air passes through fiat rubber
tube to the top of the helmet, where
the single tube divides into three
branches, one of which goes down to
the nostrils and the others to the ears.
After the air has been breathed it
passes on down inside the suit, infat-
ing this sufficiently to overcome to a
certain degree the hydrostatic pres
sure. Without air inside it the rubber
would be pressed against the divers
body and limbs by the weight of the
water, and would drive the blood up

ABOUT THE REBEL YELL.
II Is the Shout Which Every Farmer
Lenrna TO UHe.

One night last summer, at the en-
campment of the Pennsylvania nation
al guard on Lake Conneaut, the officers,
several of whom had served in the late
war, were discussing the confederate
yell and the terror it was alleged to
have caused in the minds of the green
northern volunteers every time the con-
federates charged down upon them.
1T had not the slightest effect upon
me-" said one of the officers, although
when l first went into the war l was
only raw recruit, and had never seen
service"
"Oh, of course, colonel" remarked
one of his companions, nothing could
scare you"
"Spare your sarcasm, major" was the
reply. I'm admit l was badly scared
the first time I smelled powder, but it
was the same feeling of fright that
every new soldier experiences, no mat
ter how often he may afterward deny
it. No, sir, it was not the confederate
yell that sent my heart into my boots.
| was very familiar with it, and yet l
had never been south before. Why, you
young fellows yourselves have heard it
| a thousand times.
every northern farmer boy can give
the rebel yell, for he learns it by virtue
of his occupation. You gentlemen have
no doubt observed, when showing your
country cousins the sights of the city,
that they are gentle-voiced lot, and
that you have had to bend your ear and
strain to hear their words above the
uproar of the street.
But put one of those cousins on one
side of 20-acre field and station your
self on the other, and you'll find that
| you can distinguish every word he
shouts to you, while he is unable to un-
derstand you. Right there you are
hearing the rebel yell, and your cousin
has acquired it because he needs it in
his business. The workers on our big
American farms frequently must make
themselves heard at considerable dis
tances, and they train the voice accord
ingly.
"At the time of the war the south was
almost exclusively an agricultural COM
munity, and the proportion of country
men who served in her armies was much
greater than the proportion who shoul-
dered the gun on the northern side.
Consequently when a southern regi-
ment made n charge, cheering as it
came, the yell of the southern farmer
boys overtopped the deepertoned shout
of the city men, for have since ascer-
tained that the average denizen of the
southern city is just as incapable of CIV
ing the rebel yell as the average resi-
dent of the cities north of Mason and
Dixon's line is unable to initiate the
bass-voiced attendant at the political
| meeting that smoke of IN Y. Sun.

months went downtown one morning
and purchased n basket of eggs. He

"FRENCH MARY"
A Woman Veteran md Her Services
I'm the War

A Woman Veteran md Her Services
in the War.
Many survivors of the civil war will
recollect French Mary" She cared for
the wounded of many battle fields while
the bullets were flying thick around
her. Few know that she is still living,
and that the struggle of life goes hard
ly with her. She is crippled, alone in
the world, and often on the verge of
starvation.
Her little home is in Baldwin town
ship, Allegheny county, Pa, about four
miles from Pittsburgh. 1t is n cheap
frame, surrounded by an ill-kept paling
fence, and in one room there is pitiful
attempt at a store, where n few dollars
worth of pipes, tobacco, tobies and some
handfuls of ancient candy are displayed.
But purchasers are few, and the profits
will not serve to keep starvation from
the little dwelling. But for the charity
of neighbors French Mary" would
often go hungry. She is at times sore
ly pressed to find food enough to keep
her alive.
Her name is Mary Leonard. Her hus-
band is still living, but he is worse than
useless to her. He not only fails to pro-
vide for her, but obstinately prevents
her from realizing enough from her
property to supply herself with life's
bare necessities. The old woman has
applied for n pension, but special act
of congress will be necessary to meet
her case, since she was never regularly
enlisted as n nurse.
The story of her life is not without
romance. She is nearly Ga years old,
