(Correspondence of aa English paper.
Woman soldiers have been more numerous in
foreign armlet than In the English service. I may
mention a few. . '
In the French mtmjtor instance, there were
(amone others) Louise Iloussaye de Banned, who
perred from 1702 to 179V and was at Qulteron;
.;. TTAngenaue Bruion nee uucnemin (ior she was

with the Legion of Honor, wlio was born In 1772,
' and died. I believe, in the I nval ides about 185;
Therene Figueuwhoservetlasadragoonfor four-
' tun vmn. from 1798 to 1812, and had four horses
killed under her (she died In IStfl, at the age of
eighty-seven, in the Hospice deej'etits Menage
at Paris); Virginia Chesheres, who served during
the Peninsula war as a sergeant In the Twenty-
seventh reglmeni, ana uiea in vaa. f
.Louise Keanagatti was a lieutenant of infantry
in the Austrian or Sardinian army during the
Napoleon wars. ' ,
Marietta "Giuliani andTFermlnia Manelll fought
under Garibaldi in 1800; Herminiawas at thebat-
tie of Custozza. ' "
Augusta Kruger fought Jn the War of Libera
tion against, tlie French ax a subaltern In the
. Ninth Prussian regiment, and was decoree with
: the Iron Cross and Ilustdan Order oL8t. George;
she (after leaving the army) married jk brother
- officer in 1816, and in ISO'J her grandtton received a
- commission in his grandmother's regiment;
Bertha Weiss Is said to have fought at Hnicheren
in 1870, but I am not sure that her case is genuine.
The most recent instances l know of are the fol-
lowing three: "A young ltussian officer" (her
name la not given) whom the Timet? correspond
ent, on September 29, 1877, reported to have fallen
-at Kaoelyevo, after displaying the most brilliant
gallantry In rallying her meu against the Turks;
ylvio Mariotti, a private in the Eleventh battal
ion Bersaglieii, who served from 1806 to 1879, and
who fought at Custozza and Dolores Rodriguez,
corporal (at the age of eighteen) in the First reg
ment of Peruvian. Happen. She, It appears,
fought In the present South American war, and is
still In service. .
- The LarqE8TMan. McCabe's History gives
the following account of a gigantic North Caro
linian f'The largest man on record was Miles
I)arden, a native of North Carolina, who-was born
M b 1798, and wh dlcJ In -Tennessee- irt 1807. He
, was seven feet and six. Inches high, and weighed
872 pounds. At his deatli he weighed a little over
1000 pounds. In 1839 his coat Was buttoned around
three men, each of them weighing over 200 pounds,
who walked together In it across the square at
Lexington. In 1850 it required 13 yards of cloth,
one yard wide, to make him a coat. Until 1803 he
was active and lively and able to bear labor, but
- Jrom that time was compelled to stay at home or
! be hauled about in a tWo-horse wagon His coffin
waa 8 feet long, 32 Inches across the breast,' 18
inches across the head, and 14 inches across the
feet. It required 24 yards of "black-velvet to cover
" v the aides and lids of the coffin." . '.
; . . .
Force op Hakit. It ia stated that there Is one
regiment in the. Russian army made up of Ameri
can commercial drummers. While fighting la
Central Asia, they met one tribe that still clings
to the old Chinese method of lighting by beating
gongs. The regiment was on the run when the
gong corps came on the field' The result waa a
terrible surprise to the Chinese. The drummers
had not been well fed, and they hadn't heard a
rong since they left America. The sudden and
iestwrate-rushheYrroadeTr
which the gongs came was Irresistible. Itwas
- such a rush aa they made for hotel dining-rooms.
They swept all before them, turning defeat Into
; Victory-. But they were awfully disappointed
when they found out why the gongs were rung.
BostoriPost.
; - 'titii ...:
- Resistance to the new prohibitory laws of Kan
sas has gone so far that while Juries in the, cities
refuse to convict liquor sellers, even upon the
.clearest evidence, in Atchison the Common Coun
cil, with the cooperation of its presiding' officer,
the Mayor, has adopted an ordinance providing
for the granting of licenses to taverns and saloons.
-This action was taken In express ridicule and de
fiance of the prohibitory 'constitutional amend
ment and the laws based upon it. . .The temper
ance men have since then had a mass meeting,
and call upon the Mayor to resign, while Gov. St.
John threatened to call out the militia andput
the laws nto. execution by force of arms. - All
this because the population of the cities is not
willing to be deprived of its beer by the rural pop
ulation's temperance predilections..
An Ohio Girl's Foot. An Albany shoe factory
bar-received a diagram of a foot from a trust
worthy correspondent at Sandusky, Ohio. The
girl placed her bare foot upon a sheet of paper,
and a pencil mark was drawn close around the
outline. The foot, as shown by the diagram, is
exactly 17 Inches long, 7 inches wide at the
widest part, and could take a No. 26 boot, though
a. No. 30 would be Just the thing. The ball of the
foot Is 19 Inches around. Instep J8i Inches, and the
heel measures 22 inches. The ankle measures 16
inches. This Immense pedal adorns the person of
Miss Mary Wells, of Sandusky, Ohio, whoee
weight Is 100 pounds, and she Is but seventeen
years oldtTVby Times.
The old alchemists, In their search for the phil
osopher's stone, left no mixture of familiar or un
familiar Injrredients, untried. An ancient 'work.
. called "The Gold-Maker's Guide," contains this
Kromising formula: "Take of the galrnf a black
meat, killed when the night approacheth, one
part ; of the brains of a.,nlghiowl, taken from out
'Its head when the morniug dawneth. five parts;
mix In the hoof of an ass when the tide turneth ;
leave it until it doth breed maggots; place it on
thy breast-bone when the moon shineth bright
and thou wilt see a sight which the eye of mortal
man ne'er beheld afore."
r My dear friend, clear your mind of cant. You
may talk as other people do; you msysay toa
man : "SlrMarourhambte'aeTvaiCTT-ryou are'
not his humble servant. You may say J "These
are bad times ; it is a melancholy thing to be re
served to such times." You don't mind the times.
You tell a man: "I am sorry ou had such bad
weather the last day of your Journey, and were
so much wet." You don't care a sixpence whether
fooll.
