Tile Daredevil Forrest.

No man ever exacted stricter obedience
or more thoroughly maintained it. He
brooked no disobedience of his own or
ders, and he resented their infraction with
characteristic fire.
When his command needed supplies
he stopped on no technicalities OF OBJ
struction to obtain them. The writer
we'll remembers once sending requisi-
ton for food and forage to an officer at
one Of the railroad stations, and was re-
fused on the grounds that the supplies
belonged to an infantry command in the
rear. Forrest having failed in the same
manner to obtain needed provisions,
coolly took what he wished without
further parley, stating that if any COM
plant was made he (Gen. Forrest) was
responsible. His services were so valua-
BILE that his summary methods were
overlooked. He said to the writer in ex-
planation of his taking these supplies
that he never hesitated to override for
malities when he deemed it necessary
that be would break a thousand of them
at any cost to himself before his men and
horses should suffer for want of subsis-
tence, and that the infantry in camp
could get plenty more, while his men,
always in active service on the front,
could not obtain supplies all the time:
Another instance Of his disregard of
rules was that he allowed his men to ab-
sent themselves just when he pleased.
he had his troops on hand on all neces-
sary occasions for march or fighting or
picket duty. He would turn whole
regiment loose for day or two when in
the vicinity of their homes, or when they
could be spared, and this when there
were positive orders against it from army
headquarters. And the practical result
of it was that it absolutely benefited the
service; it satisfied and encouraged the
men, and made them better soldiers. No
General punished desertion more severely
or demanded harder service, and none
took more responsibility in behalf of the
comfort or pleasure of his command.
While the writer connected lines with
Forrest the scouts of that officer were
constantly in front and rear. Forrest
not only reconnoitered his own ground,
but that of everybody else. His search
for information was unceasing. 1t was
this restless watchfulness and inquiry
that constituted one of his chief traits.
His scouts were ubiquitous. They went
everywhere and they exhausted every
source of news. Wherever he went he
had every road, path, thicket and point
of observation or approach, front, flank
and rear, picketed, and in addition his
scouts swarmed for miles around, send
ing bulletins to him hourly.
Just before the battle of Chickamauga
the writer was in command of brigade
of cavalry at Alpine, Ga. Forrest passed
by going to the front and inquired of the
condition of matters and the news Of the
enemy. He received all of the inforn:a-
ton obtainable, and as he started off to
the front he bowed adieu and said: ~

Mr.. Keifer Republican, Ohio)-Do
you want an answer?
Mr.. Cox-Not from you.
Mr.. Keifer persisted in speaking, until
finally Mr.. Cox exclaimed: 81 do not
yield to you. The gentleman from Ohio
is not large enough in brain to wear the
mantle Of his colleague (Garfeld) yet,
and though he may try to fill it, he must
cultivate something else before he under

ly here, because we know his record here
on certain things" Mr.. Keifer trembled
with passion. Mr.. Cox continued: "Tbe
man who has just interrupted me is the
man who attacked General Garfield for
his position here in favor Of this bill"
Mr.. Keifer sat down, and from his seat
began to talk. "When the gentleman
wants to address o remark he ought to
have manners enough to rise in his
place." savagely remarked MIR. Cox.

Mr.. Cox concluded his remarks by say
ing that the Democrats in the House had
been prudent, consistent and patriotic,
brigadiers and all. He read the resolu-
tion adopted when the Southern Demo
Gratis were in force in the House (which
seventeen Republicans voted against) de-
claring their opposition to disunion, re.
bellion and secession. Their acts had
proved their sincerity. They would
stand by their friends and the constitu-
ton. "fhey KNOW" he continued, "what
you have done at Chicago. They know
that your man is vulnerable. They know
that with a good ticket at Cincinnati we
can win the day in November applause

can sing:

cautious and less dashing than Blaine,

too prone to look for two sides of ques.

aroused and strikes tremendous blows.

Says an Albany correspondent OF the
New York Herald:

II have been told that this whole boom
| for the ex-president was systematically
arranged three years ago. The trip to the
Old World was the main part OF this inter
esting program The constant atten-
tons to the ex president by crowned heads
of all countries, the carefully worded after
dinner speeches, the suggestive. modestly-
written interviews, the republican slmpll-
city of manner, the adroit innuendoes as to
third termism all such movements, as
alleged. were part of the grand transfor-
nation scenes intended to keep the ex
president alive in the memory OF his couu-
trvmen and surround his personality with
the elittering idea that he was the only
sone strong man who could save the
American nation from anarchy and des-
tructioD. The plan has worked admirably
so far. Will it continue in its successful
march to the convention hall at Chicago
on June 3 is an enigma not so easily solved
What the correspondent has been told
about the boom is nothing new. At least
the same has doubtless occurred to thou-
sands of quiet thinkers all over the coun-
try long ago. The entire circumnaviga-
ton programme from the time Grant left
the Atlantic coast until he returned to
San Francisco bears evidence of a systema-
tic pre- arrangement, and the scheme has
been skilfully managed. Had the ex-
president not been kept thus prominently
before the public for all the time the boom
would have been an mpossibility.
