Tottle on the 26 th North Carolina regi ment in the Journal and was glad be brought to light a long slumbering romance in the matter of the woman soldier. The woman soldier waa discharged just about 33 years ago at Kinston, after the capture of .New bern by General Eurnside just be fore the army was concentrated around Richmond for the great seven days engagement. The circumstances were patriotic as well as romantic. As related to me then as I remember them now, they were thus: Volun'eering was rife throughout the State t.nd the mountains were- ablaze with enthusiasm. A couple, not long married, lived by themselves in gnroe mountain cove near Grand father mountain. JTab husband went to town one (':y and found everybody was going eft' to war. He took the marlial tpirit End enlisted at once. On go-i-.g home to prepare for his depart ure f?r the tented field a difficulty 1 resented itself when he informed hi "rife cf his beligerent intention. "That is to become of me ?" said th vvouiai. c-t? here and do the best jo'i can, was nil answer "But I wcu't etav here by myself while yon are gone," she replied. "If you go to lie war, I am going too." Th?n the plan was made between them that she should cut her hair sborf, put on a it of her husband's clothes, go with him to the recruit ing st ition and enlist nnder an as eumed name. Her name in camp was Joe, but what else I cever he4 In this regiment Joe and t :e busbfiud were looked upon as a cou ple of mountain (toys well acquainted aud fond of each other. On the 15th of April, 1862, the hnsband had to undergo a medical examination and was found lo be physically unfit for military services and was discharged. Here was a dilemma: Joe in the array and her husband ont. What would he do at horns by himself and his wife off to war? There appeared to be but one thing to do, and that was to confess the deception and ob tain her discharge which would tecessary follow. Accordingly the next morning she went to the Colonel's quarters ond the Colonel was Z 13 Vance of blessed memory. "Colonel, I want to go home," said Joe, after the accustomed salutation. "Well, Joe," said the Colonel, "I suppose a good many of ns would like to go horn ; but ust now we are needed somewhere else," "But, Colonel, I ain't a man." "No, Joe, but you soon will be and a brave one no doubt." "No, sir, I won't," Joe replied, "I am a woman," "Ttoe d 1, yon say," s:id Col Vance, surprised and amused at the complete defeat of his proposition. "Here doctor," he called to the sur geon of the regiment, "here is a case for yon." Joe had only to unbutton his j-ii'-et to establish the fact that "he" v;as a wosran, and he was honorably (Msharjjed.

Wedjesday afternoon a colored brass band was parading down Main streot, and, of course there were a hundred or mere followers. Y hen reaching'the front of Mr. Joel Reed's residence the band was met by Mr. W C Boyd's cow. The music and the cow started off at the same time, the band playing and the cow but ting. The latter knocked things right and left, comple'ely changing the tune of things and breaking into j the line of march. After romping oyer the stree 8 and sidewalks for some time, the cow ran into a wagon on the tquare, somewhat f rightening the team of horses, which were hard to eon'rol. Had the cow not been ! a muley one, some one would have been gored to death. It is said the cow became infuriated at the sight of the red jackets worn by the band boys. No one was hurt, however. nail N warm ut Heei.

The .om plaint is to-day general that it is difficult to. distin guish by their attire the sex of our young ladies : round hats, their jackets and their waistcoats, and now and then even their knickerboekers, may have been borrowed from their brothers. Their mothers and their aunt say : "Girls did not dress so in our day," which is quite true, but they did a hundred years ago. In the London Times ot January, uyo, sarcastic reierence is made to it. Earl Spencer had made a bet that he would cut off the tail of his coat and ap pear In public in it, and that this pettyscoat would in a week be the fashion. He did so and won his bet. The Times comments : When men in Petty-Coat appear No wonder girls the breeches wear; But happier far would be the case, Were each to keep their propel place. 1 he fair ones wear the female dress, A nd men adorn their persons less; For such the fashion of the day, They make it difficult to say Whether the nrett things we lneet Parading through their fav'rite street, A male or femaie we may call, Their shapes are so equivocal.

He slipped off into the water and the trsh from the raft passed over him, holding him under the water. He was rescued.

EESTJLT 07 TSOG "AYER'SPILLS "Ayer's Cathartic Pills for over thirty years have kept mo in good health, never having had a sick day in all that time. Before I was twenty I suffered almost continually as a result of con stipution from dyspepsia, heodachos, neuralgia, or boils and other eruptive diseased. When I became convinced that nine-tenths of my troubles were caused by constipation, I began the use of Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfac tory results, never having a single attack that did not readily yield to this remedy. My wife, who had been an invalid for years, also began to use Ayer's Pills, and her health was quickly restored. With my children I had no ticed that nearly all their ailments were preceded by constipation,, and I soon had the pleasure of knowing that with children as with parents, Ayer's Pills, if taken in season, avert all danger of sickness."

Of U tribes that I have visited but one b a legend accounting for the hideous decorations that are to be -en on the faces Indians under a1! u-re- monial circo instances. 'I was sitting at a camp fir,- in a village of Jaearilla A, aches cut night listening to the stories ana legends that were being told, when I propounded the old question again, hardly expecting even the usual ex pression ot ignorance that hides eo many of the thoughts of the Indians. To my surprise, however, I received the answer that I least expected. An old fellow who had sat all the evening listening to the stories with out changing his attitude grunted and straightened up as he heard the question. Proceeding with all doe solemnity, he told the following legend : " 'Long ago, when men were weak and animals were big and strong, a chief of the red men who lived in these mountains went out to get a deer, for his people were hungry. After walking all day he saw a deer, shot it, but the arrow was turned aside and wounded a mountain lion, which was also after the deer. Whe the lion felt the sting of the arrow he lumped up and bounded after the man, who ran for his life. He was almost exhausted, and when he felt his strength giving way, he fell to the ground, calling on the big bear, who you know, is the grand father of men, to save him. The big bear heaid the call and saw that to save the man he had to act quickly, eo he scratched his foot and sprinkled his blood over the man. " 'Now, you know, no animal ill eat of the bear or teste of his blood. So when the lion reached the man he suielled the blood and turned away, but as he did eo his foot scrape I the face of the man, leaving the mr.rks of his claws on thebl iodj face. When the man found that he was uninjured, he waa so thanks ful that he left the blood to dry on his face and never washed it at all, but kii it until it peeled off. Where the claws of the lion scraped it eft" there were marks that turned brown in the sun, and wheie the blood Btayed on it was lighter. You know all men paint their faces that wav with blood and scrape it off in streaks when they hunt or go to war.' " St. Loui3 Globe Democrat. Crane to Be Changed. Mr. G R Schultz, of Washington, D. C, was in the city looking after the mail messenger service that car ries mail between the depot atid post office. Among other things considered, Mr. Schultz thinks the crane, on which is hanged the veeti. bnle mail, is located at a yery unde sirable and nnconvenient place. The crane now Bits on the top of the high fill just this side of the creek, and quite often the mail bags are thrown c'own among the bushes and into the water, which is lost for awhile or damaged to some extent. All this can be av:ided, h6 says, by placing the crane forty or fifty feet below the lower water tank, and it is very probable , that such change will be made. Mr. Schultz will see that we get the best service. The ley may of '93.
