A HEROINE IN TROWSERS.
Among the heroines who have turned
up in this latter day is Catherine Hill.
Catherine is a short and rather fleshy
mulatto, about 34 years of age, residing
in St. Mary street, below Seventh. A
few days ago this woman called at the of
fice of Col. Wm. B. Mann to secure his
assistance in procuring for her a pension
from the United States Government, to
which she was entitled for services ren
dered while serving the country as a
soldier. She told him a most remarkable
tale about having enlisted as a private
in a colored regiment, dressed in men's
habiliments. Colonel Mann agreed to
take the case in hand, but directed her
to procure evidence, however, and this
she immediately set about doing. There
were many things which she withheld
from the lawyer, including the reason of
her joining the army, all of which, how
ever, she related to a Record reporter in
this language :
" I enlisted," she began, "in the Thir
tirth Maryland Colored Volunteers on
the 3d of May I forget what year un
der the name of Henry Williams. I was
passed through the examination by Drs.
Cook and Perry of Baltimore. I got into
a 'little difficulty, and that was why I
went. The difficulty was: I shot a man.
He shot me first. His name was Henry
Stump, son of J udge Stump, of Perry
viile, and he fired at me for crossing his
premises. The Government had run a
blockade across the public road, allowing
no one to pass but the soldiers. I cros
sed it, and he halloed, 'Halt!' three
times and then fired. I had two cham
pagne baskets of victuals which I was
going to sell to the soldiers. After he
shot me I fell. I was picked up by a
gentleman who was passing along with a
load of hay, and was taken to the corral,
where I was found with the food. There
they put me on a stretcher and took me
on board little tug Pacific, which took
me to Havre de Grace, where I was at
tended by Dr. Lloyd. He took thirty
two buckshot out of my right arm, and
two more he left in, as he said they were
in the veins, and it would be dangerous
to extract them."
At this point in the narrative Mrs.
Hill bared her arm and showed the re
porter the shot that still remained in that
member.
"After Stump shot me, I forgot to say
he walked to me, and I asked him what
he shot me for. He said, 'I tried to kill
you.' I said, 'You didn't do it, though.'
It wasn't because I did not try.' After
I got well I returned to Perryville, where
I met Stump a few hundred yards from
where he had shot me. He was riding
his horse, and said to me, 'I have a good
mind to run this horse over you.' I
walked away from him and he kept rid
ing toward me. and I fired at him once.
He fell from his horse, but was able to
walk, however, and went to the house of a
fisherman named George Brown, a serv
ant of Stump's, who took him home. Dr.
Primrose of Port Deposit dressed his
wound, which I afterwards heard, proved
fatal. Three weeks from the day this oc
curred I enlisted for the first time in Bal
timore. After enlisting I was sent to Camp
Belgia, and there stayed with the com
pany the Thirteenth Maryland, com
pany K under Lieutenant William
Ropes, Captain Perry. I was removed
from the camp to Fortress Monroe, and
there staid five weeks. I was sent from
there to the Shenandoah Valley on July
7th. In the first battle at Deep Bottom,
Shenandoah Valley, which was nothing
more than a scrimmage, I received a
wound in my right leg from which I was
laid up six weeks. After I was pro
nounced well I was sent to Raleigh, N.
C. , where I stayed five weeks with my
company. From there we went to Tala
ahassee, where we stayed nine weeks,
and had one little scrimmage there.
From there we went to Chattanooga,
Tenn., and the last battle I was in was
at Richmond. I was then just recovered
from wounds I fiad received at Peters
burg. . I had received a wound in my
right jaw, knocking the teeth out, at
Wilmington, N. C, on Saturday. In
the seven day's fight at Petersburg I re
ceived a wound in the right hip, and lay
on the field three days and three nights
without anything to eat or drink except
two bard tacks and a canteen oi water.
I laid up at the hospital at Halifax, Vir
ginia, where I was attended by Dr. Per
ry, one of the doctors that had passed
me on my first physical examination. I
also received wounds on my hand from
defending myself from the saber of a
rebel Colonel with my musket at
Kaighn's swamp. I succeeded at last in
unhorsing him by a bayonet thrust. I
got my discharge in Washington from
Claim Agent George B. Fisher, and was
paid off in Baltimore, receiving $1,472,
the first money paid me since my enlist
ment." After her discharge she became pastry
cook in a hotel, then stewardess on a
steamboat which was wrecked, and later
she worked in a tailor store. She came
to this city the year Catto as killed,
and earned a living as best she could.
Her husband, whom she met after the
war, has been living with her. The dis
charge, she said, was in the hands of Dr.
Wood of Twentieth stieet, near Wood
street, with whom she had placed it for
safe keeping.
James Redding, who was in Mrs.
Hill's regiment, states that he is willing
to swear to her having served through
the war, and that he did not know her
sex until after it was made known in the
hospital.
Second Lieutenant P. F. Dillon of the
Ninety-sixth Pennsylvania, who keeps a
grocery store on St. Mary stree:, near
Seventh, told a reporter that he first met
Mrs. Hill in the hospital at Baltimore,
in 1863, when she was discovered to
be a female. He is agent for the house
in which she now lives, and he believes
her to be one of the most honest and
brave women that he ever knew.
Determined to test the truth of the
woman's story still further, the newsman
proceeded to Twentieth and Wood
streets, attempting to find the residence
of Dr. Wood, who was mentioned as t bo
holder of the discharge. In spite of -all
inquiries he was unable to find any such
person residing in the neighborhood.
Returning to Mrs. HiU, the reporter
informed her of this fact. Mrs. Hill in
sisted that he lived there, and then gave
a detailed description of some place near
the Eleventh and Twelfth streets horse
car depot as his place of residence.
Philadelphia Record.
A Posted Individual.
But few politicians have an idea how
little the general public know or care
about them. The writer, this winter,
has met numbers of New York people vis
iting here, and the amount of ignorance
displayed by them about public men and
affairs has been simply appalling. What
would you think of a brisk young busi
mn who understood horses and money
making to perfection, and who does not
know whether Sam Randall was Speaker
of the House or presiding officer of the
Senate. The worst case I ever met was
a provincial broker from the heart of a
howling wilderness known as Wall street.
He was in Washington for the first time
in his life, and was anxious to see the
Congressional boys. "I am not death on
sight-seeing, you know," said he "but I
would like to take in what you think
might be interesting."
In the Senate he looked around placid
ly around a moment.
"Where is our man Conkling !" he
asked.
"Over in that corner, talking with his
strikers."
"Oh, yes! That is the first time I have
seen Conkling. Broad shoulders, some
chest, but bad legs. Where is Senator
Sprague? I would like to see that
cuss."
'Spr ague's not in the Senate now."
"Is that so? I suppose Mrs. Sprague
is in the gallery. No? Well, who is
that stout man over there?"
"David Davis."
"Who is he?"
"David Davis."
"See here, that won't do. Your are
chaffing. Where is he from?"
"Illinois."
"A western buck ! Been in the Senate
verylpng?"
fpDt very long."
'Thought not; never heard of him be
fore. Where does Carl Schurz sit ?"
"Mr. Schurz is not in the Senate at
present.
"Out of the city?"
"Oh, no. He is at present a member
of Hayes Cabinet.
"Come to think, I ought to have re
membered that. Where is Charles Sum
ner?"
"God knows."
"What do yon mean?"
"Alas, poor Sumner has passed away."
"Too much rum? Was it sudden?
The Senators are gay old boys, I under
stand." Thus this gay New York child of na
ture rattled on. His ignorance was not
assumed. In the House of Representa
tives.he said," What place is this?" it more
closely resembling his stock board room
than any other place he had seen. In
the Supreme Court room he asked if
"all the old cocks" always sat in a row
listening to cases. He thought one at a
time enough, and did not see why the
nine did not change about so as to rest
each other. For the full bench to sit
was to him an aggravating waste of the
raw material.
A Cat's Sorrow.
Hard to Understand.
Why an endless procession of drinkers
from a public dipper will invariably
drink close to the handle.
Why people will go into society to be
bored when they can get board just as
cheap at home.
Why the young lady who will eagerly
chew boarding-house mince pie will care
fully eschew boarding-house hash.
Why a woman will make excuses for
her bread when she knows it is the best
she ever made, and knows her company
knows it.
Why a young gentleman swears so
much louder and more copiously when
strange ladies are within earshot; or, in
other words,
Why the desire to make a fool of one's
self springs eternal in the human breast.
Why we are so much angrier against
him who shows us our errors than him
that leads us therein.
Why people will get married when
courting is so sweet.
Why a man who claims to have found
marriage a delusion wiU embrace again
that delusion upon the first convenient
opportunity.
Why cold weather comes during the
season that it is least agreeable.
Why it is so much easier to be polite
to people whom we shall probably never
see again than to those whose good opin
ion we have every reason to cultivate.
Why boys should run after the girls
when there is a whole house full at home.
Exchange.
Cast-Off Friends.
There are men and women in pubhc
life whose pathway is marked by "re
mains of whilom friends whom they have
squeezed dry and dropped, like so many
sucked oranges. In politics it is said of
such a man that he has kicked down the
ladders by which he climbed. In liter
ary or other walks of life, the human
sponge often swells up with the thought
that he has now "outgrown" his humble
friends of former days. In private life
the self-conscious soul contents itself
with becoming more and more the cen
ter of its little circumference, taking
none within the orbit who will not con
sent to revolve around it and emit light
and warmth for its enjoyment. There
have been many and noble definitions of
what a friend is. People of real indivi
duality, strength and sensitiveness have
doubtless fewer real friends than they
are apt to think, unless they have been
cherishing unconsciously low ideals.
But whatever a friend may not be, cer
tainly that sweet and noble term is un
merited by one who, however generous
in other directions, is selfish of himself.
A gentleman who went home rather
late one morning about half-past one
o'clock, for which reason he does not
care to have his name mentioned was
heard that evening to relate an interest
ing story. He says that at the corner of
Fourteenth and Chestnut streets he
heard a queer sound, very much like
the moan of a human being in great dis
tress. He walked only a few steps
further when the same strange sound was
heard again, The most peculiar feature
of the last sound was that it seemed to
emanate from some cavern beneath the
pavement a few yards distance. The
gentleman, in a condition of mind ap
proaching awe, hurried forward with
tremulous step. He crossed the dark
alley which divides the block, and the
lamp stood behind him. As he moved
onward his eye detected a slight vibration
or change in the form of the shadow
beyond the telegraph pole, too quick to
leave any outline of the form that made
it. Whether this circumstance had any
thing to do with the subject under in
vestigation remained to be seen. The
gentleman walked boldly up to the tele
graph pole, and on arriving found noth
ing that is, he saw nothing at first, his
eyes having been recently dimmed by
the glare of the lamp. A second after
ward a small object was seen on the
pavement close to tbe post, and while he
saw it it gave utterance to the sound that
had attracted his attention. It was ap
parent that it was either a cat or a dog,
and an effort was made to frighten it
away from the shadow that curiosity
might be satisfied; but it refused to move
until actually driven, and then only a
foot or two with great reluctance. This
was sufficient, however, and the question
was settled. It was a cat; but why did
it seem loth to retreat?
By stooping close to the ground the
dead body of a gray kitten about half
grown was discovered. The cat, which
had been driven away, seemed alarmed
by the investigation, and uttered some
half plaintive and defiant cries. The
gentleman said he then walked several
steps toward the south and then stopped
to see what the old cat was going to do.
She immediately returned to the dead
body, and after walking around it and
caressing it for some time, she suddenly
raised her head and gave another cry.
This seemed to have been caused by an
other intruder, and by following the di
t rection of the cat's eyes it was seen that
another cat was the cause of the distress.
The latter animal was hidden in a cellar
door with the exception of its head. The
light fell upon it, and there was some
thing interrogatory about the face. This
cat's object seemed to be to learn what
the other was doing, while the guardian
of the dead seemed to misunderstand the
cause of the intrusion. A well aimed
brickbat started the inquisitive cat on
the double quick, which doubtless car
ried him out of the neighborhood.
Immediately after his departure, the
mourning mother came away from the
little corpse and rubbed herself against
the legs of him who bad routed her
enemy. She also looked up into his
face and mewed as if to ask pardon for
her former unkindness and to give him
to understand the true condition of her
feline heart. Having received a little
kindness in return she resumed her
lonely watch beside the dead. St. Louis
Republican.
A Little Darkey's Story.
Uder a great pecan tree on the lawn
before the "big house," Sam and Pumble
sat to consider and consult, or, as they
expressed it, "study up what us gwing
to do."
"Shill I tell a story?" asked Pumble.
"Does you know a good one?" inquir
ed Sam.
"Dis story's gwine to be a new one,"
said Pumble, "bekase I'll make it up as
I go 'long."
"Tell ahead," said Sam.

the surface of the lower slice, or course.
I would not recommend the slicing of hot
loaves except upon emergencies. As a
frequent diet it might prove injurious, but
not more so than other warm breads.

The Trick Mare.
On one occasion we were preparing for
our promenade through the streets, when
a kind of "hanger-on" to our company,
who, through his invariable politeness of
manner, had been nicknamed "Sweet
William," was deputed to ride a highly
trained black mare, one of whase tricks
consisted in undoing her girths with her
teeth and removing her saddle. Sweet
William was the last to leave the stables,
the others having passed out before she
had mounted. Suddenly loud cries of
"Murder!" were heard to proceed from
the stable, and I shouted out as I went
toward the spot: "What's the matter?
Who is it?" "It's me," replied the ago
nized voice of Sweet William. "Make
haste the mare's got hold of my toe!"
And sure enough I found the man on the
mare's back, writhing snd twisting about,
his face describing the most painful con
tortions, and his toe in the mare's mouth!
The more he struggled, the harder she
pulled at what, through some misadven
ture, she mistook for the girth-straps.
Perhaps, also, she mistook his shouts for
the vociferous cheers of a pleased audi -ence,
and thought it was "all right,"
and at it again she went with redoubled
vigor. By some means he must have
made some slight movement, which tbe
mare thought to be her signal to per
form the trick, and went to work accord
ingly. However, the man was speedily
released from his awkward predicament,
and the cavalcade proceeded on its way,
but it was a long time before the inci
dent itself ceased to excite a good
natured laugh at the expense of Sweet
William. Columbus Journal.
What Puzzled the Millers.
The Minneapolis Tribune relates an
amusing incident that happened in the
Palisade mill of that city, January 1st.
The proprietors went to the expense of
purchasing a new water wheel, with
which to propel the machinery of the
Palisade. They reluctantly shut the
mill down for a couple of weeks for the
purpose of putting this new wheel in,
feeling satisfied that the increased power
obtained from it would more than repay
them for the loss of time. Without stop
ping to consider the matter of rights and
lefts, as applied to water wheels, the
work progressed until, on New Year's
morning, it was complete, and, with a
great sigh of relief, they prepared for
business, and turned on the water.
Imagine their consternation when ail the
machinery of the mill began to revolve
backward. Everything moved in just
the opposite direction from what it had
ever done before, or was intended to do.
The stones turned backward, the eleva
tors ran downward, instead of upward,
and well, the proprietors thought that
New Year's might have a bad effect on
them, and turned the mill or themselves
wrong side up. The partners, after
careful examinations, assured each other
that none of them were standing on their
heads! Then they strolled out upon the
platform and took a look at the mill
building. That was right side up! But
the machinery persisted in running the
wrong way, from basement to attic, and
threatened to reverse the natural order of
things by converting flour into wheat.
They at first thought of going to the luna
tic asylum in a body; but, fortunately,
their millwright was suddenly struck
with an idea! They shut the gates, he
took a squint at the new wheel, and tho
mystery was explained! It was a "left
hand" wheel, and had been thoughtlessly
set as a right.
How She Put It. An inoffensive
young man of Chicago has been paying
some attention to a highly cultured girl'
of Boston, and endeavoring to make her
stay as pleasant as possible, was some
what surprised while chatting with her a
few evenings since to have her ask him
what time he arose in the morning.
Pulling up his striped pants so that they
would not wrinkle at the knee, and
throwing one leg over the other, he re-
Slied in his careless South Side way that
e "generally kicked the clothes off about
9." Looking at him over her clear but
cold eye-glasses, the Beacon-Hiller
asked: "Do you know what Benjamin
Franklin said?" "Oh, yes," responded
the Chicagoan, "I know that yarn about
Ben's entering Philadelphia with nothing
but a loaf of bread and a plug of
tobacco." "I do not refer to that par
ticular episode in the life of the great
philosopher," said the lady, "but to hi
proverb: "The early bird catches the
lumbicus lerrestris" which, as you are
no doubt aware, is an articulate animal
belonging to the abranchiate division of
the class of annelides," and the fascinat
ing creature resumed her occupation of
crocheting the American Constitution
into a pillow-sham which she was manu
facturing. The young man laughed
hysterically, said she was doubtless cor
rect, and soon left for home, where he
received prompt treatment for approach
ing brain fever.
The scene of the Mountain Meadow
massacre is now the very picture of deso
lation. Before the Mormans murdered
131 innocent men, women and children
there, the meadows were known far and
wide as a parafMse in the desert, with an
abundance olgrass, crystal streams and
ever-flowing springs. Now, the grass in
gone, the water-courses dried up, and
nothing but a dreary waste marks tho
once beautiful spot. It is said that the
earth is also sinking, and the bones,
which were gathered after the massacre,
though thrice buried, continue to re
appgar; while the settlers in the vicinity
shun the spot as haunted, and say that
the winds from the meadowSjbring pierc
ing cries for help to their ears.
Uncle Josh's Advice. --Sir Joshua
Reynolds was asked by a student, going
to Italy, what he ought to observe and
study.and found himself greatly puzzled
to answer. What he did say may be
summed up as follows: "If you have no
talents or genius, it does not matter'
what you select or study. If you have
talent or genius, you will find out for
yonrself."
