Th© item copied by th© Morning N©w

case. Ther© are no female assistant sur

Anna Newcomb, the young lady referred
to.may have been n contract surgeon ©spe

been that of a Heutenvnt In the medical
department, hut I very much doubt If
she had "the rank of first lieutenant."
and could "wear (he shoulder-strap* anti

is. so far s* m.v experience goes, no pro
vision for female off! era In any depart

had the notoriety of making colonels on
their staff* of two pretty gtS*. nn put

of the United BWite© has too much sens©
to do such a foolish thing.

Dobell, the wail known and gifted poet
thus embalms "Th© Army fhirgeon," In
verse which my own experience io war
tells me Is as full of truth as It la of
poetry:
"Over that breathing waste of friend*
and foes,
The wounded and th© dying, hour by
hour—
In will a thousand, yet but one In power—
He tabors thro* the red and groaning day.
The fearful moor.arid wh©re the myriads

Moved as a moving field of mangled
worms.
And as a raw brood, orphaned In the
storms.
Thrust up their head© if the wind bend
a spray
Above them, but when the bare branch
performs
No sw-e| parental office, sink sway
With hopeless chirp of woe. so a- h* goes
Around hi* feet n iamorou* agony
They rise and fall, and ait the acething

Rubbles s cauldron vast of many-eoiorecl

At the first baffle of Bull Run afte
