SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2S.-In what
is believed to have been a At of tenn
porary alteration, Harts Greensfelder,
a brilliant young man, shot himself in
the head with revolver and died this

WOMEN
Not Allowed to Serve When Their Sc.
Was Discovered.

Fired with a desire for martial glory,
it happened occasionally that a woman
could conceal her sex and be accepted
by the mastering officers. Whenever
discovered these female soldiers were
discharged.
Company ID of the Forty-sixth Penn
sylvia MIA regiment had on its rolls one
Charles ID. Fuller, who was discovered
to be a female and discharged. There
was another more conspicuous instance
Of the same character in Company F.
of the One Hundred and Twenty-sixth
Pennsylvania regiment.
A woman whose real name proved TO
be Frances Day enlisted under the
name of Frank Mayne and was pro-
NOTED to sergeant OF her company. The
terrors of war or fear of detection
caused her To desert on August "a,
1863, but she was subsequently killed
in battle In tassother regiment. A Miss
Seelye, Who sawed in Company r.. Sec

Frank Thompson, deserted after she
had fought well in several battles, This
charge OF desertion against her was
removed In 1887 by congress because of

When Sherman's army left Raleigh
on the march north to Richmond said
a lank New Hampshire comrade dur
ing a recent G.. A. r. encampment,
I'VE had very strict orders about forag-
ing, and to enforce these orders General
Sherman had patrols out on both sides
Of his column TO enforce obedience.
This became very troublesome at times.
| remember that on me occasion my
self and ten others were detailed for
six days duty along certain lines on
about four days rations. Well, along
toward the end we became very hum
CRY and starved out, and you can
imagine my joy better than | can de-
scribe 1t when on the evening of the
sixth day my messmate came in and
whispered to me that he bad found a
fat pig about half a mile off in the
woods, proposing hat we go and cap
ture him.
S off we posted and soon arrived at
a small garden surrounded b. a picket
fence. in which Mr.. Pig was roaming
about quite at his own ease anu iib-
erty. We climbed the fence and UNI
dertook to run the pig down, but the
trouble was hat he ran about twice
as fast as we did, and we soon gave
up trying to capture him by this
means.
"tIll tell you what We'll do said my
messmate. We will run him down by
turns. You run him awhile, as | rest
up, and when you get tired I'll try him
for a few PAGES SO we started in to
run Mr.. Porker down by turns. 1t was
about my third turn at trying &c zap
ture the animal when, on nearing O.
fence corner, l happened to look up
and saw, to my utter dismay, two COM
missioned officers leaning over the fence
watching my movements.
What are you Going over there?'
one of them asked.
II saw hat / was caught red handed,
so / replied, oh, nothing; just trying
to see now fast this pig can run

doubtless realizing that We needed
something to fill our stomachs, turned
and walked away, and the result was
that we got u pig"
