WOMEN IN MALE ATTIRE. FEMALE WHO ACHIEVED FAME IN THE HABILITMENTS OF MEN. They took to the Army and Navy and made good fighter—Women of the Royalty Thus Distinguished themselves — The Original "Hilly Taylor." Among what may be called the obscure kikycrades of the female sex is a passion for assuming male attire; nor is the woman who thus traverses herself necessarily in her character a virago. Sometimes this sort of masquerading takes an innocent and even a benedict form. Mine, Ma Pfaffler, the famous traveler, was as gentle and sympathetic a type of true womanhood as ever lived; yet she tells us in her autobiography that in her early girlhood no restraints, no reproaches and no punishment could wean her from attiring herself in boy's clothing whenever she had an opportunity of so doing. A similar penchant for the garments of the opposite sex was shown by the Duchess de Berri, the mother of the Count de Chambord. This youthful Neapolitan princess dreadfully scandalized the aged Charles X, when, after ablicating the throne in July, 1830, he fled from St. Cloud, by presenting herself in his traveling carriage in the complete make up of a dandy of the period. The absurdity of this disgust, however, was afterward fully compensated by the berile conduct of the Duchess la Vendee. The Spanish Princess Donna Blanca also distinguished herself in the last Carlist insurrection by appearing in knickerbockers and riding on cavalier; but such an exhibition must be regarded as only a fitful and transient manifestation of eccentricity. When we come to study the curiosities of female history it will be found that the chronicle in question makes record of a goodly number of women who, in assuming the masculine garb, seem to have been actuated by genuine feelings of martial ardor, or, at least, by a dare devil spirit of adventure. The "roaring girl" of the old compiles has many corresponding types in real life; and Joan of Arc has found plenty of limitations as her old, if not so devoutly enthusiastic, as the Maid of Orleans. Hannah Snell flourished in the reign of George II. Her grand father was a soldier who fought with Marlborough at Malplaquet; she married early, her husband being a Dutch sailor who mal-treated and deserted her, having her with a baby, which died, whereupon Hannah appropriated a suit of her brother-in-law's clothes and, assuming his name, which was Thomas Gray, tramped to Coventry, where she enlisted In Gen. Gullo's regiment. After a while she deserted; but subsequently re-emitted in the navy as a marine, in which capacity she served in the East and West Indies. From her dexterity in washing and mending for the men, and from her being beardless, she acquired the nickname of "Miss Molly," but her bravery in action eventually caused her to be invested with the more honorable cognomen of "Hearty Jenny." Being at last discharged from the service, Hannah... After a while she deserted; but subsequently re-enlisted in the navy as a marine, in which capacity she served in the East and West Indies. From her dexterity in washing and mending for the men, and from her being tenderless, she acquired the nickname of "Miss Molly," but her bravery in action eventually caused her to be invested with the more honorable cognomen of "Henry Jenny." Being at last discharged from the service, Hannah Snell went on the stage and appeared with much applause at the Royalty theatre, Wellcome square, as Bill Bobatay, a sailor, and as Pirelock, a grunner. In consideration of the hardships she had undergone in the service of her country—which hardships comprised, among other tribulations, 500 insues that she got at the hulls at Carlshee, and an almost equally barbarous scourging at the gangway on board ship—the government awarded Hannah a pension of £20 a year, on the strength of which she took a public house in Wapping, with the approprate sign of "The Willow in Masquerade or, the Female Warrior." Another female warrior, whose career was even more remarkable than that of Hannah Snell, was Mary Ann Tailot, better known as John Taylor, whose extraordinary adventures are said to have furnished the theme for the popular ballad of "Billy Taylor." Mary Ann, who was born in 1775, is supposed to have been the youngest of the sixteen illegitimate children of Lord Talbot. She seems to have run away from school with a military officer named Capt. Bowen, whom she followed to the West Indies in male attire as a soldier's servant. Afterward she enlisted as a drummer, in which capacity she served with the Duke of York's army in Flanders, and at the stage of Valenciennes she received two wounds, which she carefully concealed, curing herself with the aid of lint, basilicon and Dutch drops. Then Mary Ann deserted, put on the dress of a sailor and entered on board French privateer, which was soon afterward captured by the British fleet. She was badly wounded in the leg by a grape shot in action, but on her discharge from hospital at Fortsmouth she joined another man-of-war, which was taken by a French ship, and the undaunted Mary Ann lay for many months a prisoner of war at Dunkirk. Then she turned up in the United States, and, returning to England, went through many other adventures. She seems to have got into very low water, so much so at one period as to have contemplated joining Haines, a notorious highwayman, in his excursions on Hounslow Heath. Fortunately, she stopped short after buying a pair of buckskin brooches and a brace of pistols and declined to enter into the perilous partnership with Haline. She too went on the stage, her favorite characters being Juliet and Irene, but her dramatic career was scarcely a triumphant one, and she drifted into old age mainly supported by casual donations from persons of quality. Still does her name occupy a distinguished place on the roll of female warriors, to whom again, must be added the famous Christmas Davis, who served as a bombarder at the battle of Bluenheim and afterward married three husbands in succession. She had a pension at last of a shilling a day from the crown and settled down peacefully at Chelsea to be near her old comrades at the hospital. Then, again, there was Phebe Hessel, whose exploits as a soldier are recited on her tombstone in the old parish churchyard at Brighton. It may, in fact, be said that, given a war which lasts long enough and embraces borough at Malplaquet; she married carryy, her husband being a Dutch sailor who mal-treated and deserted her, having her with a baby, which died when upon Hannah appropriated a suit of her brother-in-law's clothes and, assuming his name, which was Thomas Gray, tramped to Coventry, where she enlisted in Gen. Guille's regiment. After a while she deserted; but subsequently re-enlisted in the navy as a marine, in which capacity she served in the East and West Indies.

She had a pension at last, of a shilling a day from the crown and settled down peacefully at Chelsea to be near her old comrades at the hospital. Then, again, there was Phebe Hessel, whose exploits as a soldier are recited on her tombstone in the old parish churchyard at Brighton. It may, in fact, be said that, given a war which lasts long enough and embraces a sufficiently wide area thoroughly to stir the national patriotism and love of adventure, there will surely come to the front by no means inconsiderable element of female galantry and fortitude. Evidently such gallantry and such fortitude are most frequently and most appropriately made manifest in the beautiful achievement of a Florence Nightingale, but the eccentricities of the female character occasionally assert themselves, despite the thoroughly feminine attributes of the nursing sister. It sometimes happens that the lady who should be following the ambulances under the neutral oriflamme of the Geneva Cross yields to an unaccountable propensity for doubling doublet and hose, especially when the doublet is of scarlet plentifully adorned with lace and the hose have a smart seam down the sides. Such a valorous spirit of eccentricity only can account for the occasional appearance of a naval or military "Billy Taylor," but in the piping times of peace society is justified in regarding with some slight suspicion young ladies who abandon boots and skirts for cutaway costs and deerstalker hats and try, under amusingly false protense, to impose upon that exceptionally satute personage, the recruiting surgeon. ACCORDING TO THE NEGROES. Burn old shoes and she snakes will squirm away from that place. Shoes must never be put on a shelf higher than the head of the wearer. To keep shoes, even after they are past wearing, will keep good luck about a place. If you stub the right toe you will be welcomed; if you unfortunately stub the left you may know that you aren't wanted. Burnt shoe soles and feathers are good to cure a cold in the head, any old aunts, and parched shoe soles and bog boots is a good mixture, also, for coughs. The older dusky malds believe that when their shoes come untied, and keep coming untied, it is a true sign that their sweethearts are talking and thinking about them. Good luck to the child who draws on her stocking wrong side out. If she takes it off and rights it before 19 o'clock she may feel assured of getting soon a nice present. A more absurd fancy is to believe that when any one accidentally spits on the old shoe a child wears, this gives assurance that the child will soon have brand new foot gear.
