WOMEN WARRIORS.

The muster rolls of the civil war show
number of cases of soldiers who were
discovered to be women.
One of the most remarkable women
warriors was Christian Cavenagh. who
lived in England in the nineteenth cen
fury. She WAS married and had three
children. Her husband was carried off to
Holland. where he had to enlist as a
private soldier. His wife dressed as
man and enlisted so as to be near her
husband. She was wounded by the
French and carried to St. Germain-en-
Laye, where she remained until she was
exchanged. Then she quarreled and
fought a duel with her sergeant and
was transferred to another regiment.
Again she was wounded at Families,
when her secret was discovered. She
was, however. permitted to remain with
the regiment as cook.
Many English officers recall the case
of DIR. James Barry" This woman
served in the British army about fifty
years ago as a surgeon at the Cape, at
Malta and at Barbados. At the Cape

had called him" woman.
Mrs Lindley, the wife of a soldier,
went through some of the sharDest en-
gagements OF the civil war. She en-
listed in Company D, Sixth Ohio caval-
~, and fought at Fort Magruder, Han
over Courthouse, Bull Run. Antietam
and Boonsboro. She is said to be still
living and is the mother of several chill
dren.
Christina, queen of Sweden, was edu-
Gated and dressed like boy from hel
birth because her father was disap

more a king than queen and after
four years of rule resigned her crown
and went off to amuse herself in foreign
lands. She was dressed in mans cloths:
and acted as uproariously as any mar
who ever owned his clothes by right o
sex She was only twenty-eisht at th'
time.
