WOMAN COMMANDED REGIMENT ON PARADE.

Mist Edith M. Arnot commanded the Sixth Regiment in the review at Springfield, riding on a superb charger and giving her orders like a veteran. After the review was over and ranks had been broken, the soldiers laid down their muskets and cheered her. She is only 19.
