North Carolina Woman Soldier.

The following account of the woman
who enlisted in the Confederate army
and served with her husband in the
command of Col. q. B. Vance is taken
from letter of D. T. Carraway, of
New Berne, N. c., to the Journal, of
that town. The circumstances were
patriotic as well as romantic:
Volunteering was rife throughout
the State, and the mountains were
ablaze with enthusiasm, A couple,
not long married, lived by themselves
in some mountain cove near Grand
father Mountain. The husband went
to town one day, and found that every
body was going off to war. He took
the martial spirit, and enlisted at
once. On going home to prepare for
his departure to the tented field a
difficulty presented itself when he in
fcrmcd his wife of his bellgercnt in
tcntion.
"5That is to become Of me?'' said
the woman.
"stay here and do the best you
can, was the reply.
''But | won t stay here by myself
while you are gone, she replied. IF
you 90 to the war, | will too. y
Then the plan was made between
them that she should cut her hair
short, put on suit Of her husband S
clothes, and 20 with him to the re-
cruiting-station and enlist under an
assumed name. Her name in camp
was Joe, but what else I never heard.
In the regiment Joe and the husband
were looked upon as couple of noun
tain boys, we'll acquainted, and fond
Of each other.
On the 18th of April, 1862, num-
| Der Of twelve. month volunteers had
completed their term of service, and
some wanted to 60 home and some
were ready to enlist for the war;
hence there was a kind of reorganiza-
tion of some of the regiments going on.
By some means the husband had to
undergo medical examination, and
was found to be physically unfit for
military service, and was discharged.
Here was dilemma: Joein the army
and the husband out. What would he
do at home by himself and his wife off
to the war? Something must be done,
and there appeared but one thing to
do, and that was to confess the de-
ception and obtain her discharge,
which would necessarily follow. Ac-
cordingly, the next morning she went
to the Colonel's quarters, and that
Colonel was u. b. Vance, OF blessed
memory. Colonel, I want to go
home," said Joe, after the customary
salutation.
"Well, Joe,' said the Colonel, II
suppose good many Of us would like
to go home, but just now We are need.
ed somewhere else.
':But, Colonel, amt man."
"No; but you soon will be, and
doubtless brave one.
"No, sir, I won't" Joe rejoined;
"I'm m a woman
"The d you say'' said Col.
Vance, surprised and amused at the
complete defeat of his proposition.
"Here, Doctor!' he called to the sur
gcon of the regiment, here is case
for you.
SO Joe was honorably discharged.
Joe had a good reputation for sol
dicrly conduct, and was thought to be
little the best cook in the regiment.

A Matter Of Scientific Interest, II Not 81
Practical Value. !.
NJ. Fouche, the vice president OF the
French Astronomical society, has in
vented way Of altering the present in
clination Of the earth's axis to the
ecliptic. What he wants to do it for is
not very clear. Perhaps, however, he
doesn't want to do it and merely puts
forward his method as one possessing q
purely academic interest. At all events,
it is worthy of the attention of COM
pany promoters. .5
All that has to be done, as described
by Invention, is to dig an enormous cir
oular ditch, say, in Africa or South
America tits center must be on the
equator) and to fill it with sea water.
Fresh water will do if you can get
enough of it, but as the radius of the
ditch is to be a few hundred miles that
is hardly likely. Having got your ditch
full OF sea water, nothing remains but
to make it race round and round in the
trench, whereupon the earth's axis will
begin to point toward different quarters
OF the heavens from those it indicates
at present. The amount of deviation
will depend on the radius of the ditch.
the amount of water ID holds, the speed
at which the latter moves and the time
during which the motion is kept up.
We may suggest to M. Fouohe that
when sufficient sphere Of French in
duence has been secured in Africa he
might have trench dug and then by
its use get all the ice melted round each
of the present poles. French explorers
could then discover them, whereupon
the action of the trench would be stop
ped and the present climatic conditions
restored. France could then remain as
long as she wished the only nation to
have reached the celebrated points on
the earth's surface. AS the digging of
the ditch will be very expensive we
make no charge for this suggestion. -

INSECT HEAVY DRINKERS.

Butterflies Sit For Nours sucking More
Moisture Than Needed. q
By means Of large number OF OBJ.
0servations Mr.. j. W Tutt is able to
confirm what has been stated by other
observers that certain butterflies and
moths are very much addicted to drink.
In q paper published in the proceed
.ings" Of the South London Entomolog-
ical and Natural History society Mr..
Tut says there can be no doubt that
butterflies drink more than is required
by their tissues under any possible con-
ditions. He has known Polyommatus
damon to sit for more than an hour mo-
tionless except for the slight movement
OF sucking up and discharging the
moisture almost continuously.
What this internal bath may really
mean cannot be surmised. Another i'm
portant factor as to this drinking habit
is q strange one, the 9 thirsty souls, "
as far as his observation goes, being al
most entirely males. Possibly. if exact
observations could be made it might be
found that females in small numbers
also visit puddles, pools and streams
for drinking purposes, but as far as Mr..
Tut has been able to discover it is the
males alone who indulge in these copi-
GUS libations, while the females are
away laying eggs Moths and butter
flies Of both sexes visit sugar, overripe
fruit and similar dainties, but they do
SO for food. The males alone seem to be
attracted by pure water, and Mr.. Tut
suggests that, their extra activity hav-
ing originally given. them greater need
in this direction, habit which was at
first 9 necessity has become so pleasur-
able that excessive drinking has literal
ly become vice. wv

MUSIC FROM HEAVEN.

Charming German Method of summoning
Church Worshipers. ss.t
While religious music will doubtless
live as long as religion itself there is
one branch Of tiff music it can be
called-whioh is luckily becoming OBJ
solete. I refer to bells and chimes. /
shall never forget the look of distress
with which famous organist once said
to me that whenever he heard set of
chimes he wished he could put his ears
in his pocket =.
In these days of 81 nickel watches
bells are no longer needed to inform
people when the service begins. They
are, moreover, a decided nuisance, and
often a dangerous one, for they have
killed many invalids whose life depend
ed upon few hours sleep, which the
bells murdered. In New York bell ring
ing has been frequently stopped on &C
count Of complaints to the board of
health "'.' ~~ ~r'-~"-
If it seems desirable to have means
Of summoning worshipers to church,
why not adopt the delightful old custom
that is still observed in some south Ger
man villages and in the city of Stuff
CART? There four trombone players as
oend q church tower three times a day
and play eolemn chorale :.
In all my musical experience I have
never heard anything more thrilling
than those majestic harmonies in the
air, which seemed to come straight
from heaven. If our churches would
adopt this custom and these celestial
sounds became associated with religious
experiences, they might arouse the dor
mant devotion Of many one who other
wise would pass the church door by

The Poor Mother.in-lav.

Mother-in-law stories are a drug on
the market, but this one seems to be a
little less druggy than usual.
A man and his wife went to Europe,
and the mans mother-in-law went
along. Up to this point there is no nov
city in the story. ...-.....~
On the voyage the mother-in-law fell
i'll and died. Of course, she had to be
buried at sea, and SO the usual canvas
sack was made, but instead of an iron
weight to sink the body they used a
bag Of coal.
In commenting on the arrangements
afterward the bereaved son-in-l law, who
suffered badly, said:
