"A famous and favoritc kind Of sport,
especially when we had been lying in
camp for some time Id summer. or
were established in winter quarters.
was what was known Is "raiding the
suffer.
The suffers establishment was . large
wall tent. which was usually pitched
on the side Of the camp farthcst away
from the Colonel's quarters. Il was.
therefore, IN somewhat exposed and
tempting position. Whenever II was
thought well 70 raid him. the men 81
his own regiment would make 70 the
men 81 some neighboring regiment .
proposition in some such terms rs this:
You fellows come over here some
night and raid our sutler, and wen
come over 70 your camp some night ana
raid yours. VIII Won do it?'
This courteous offer Of friendly Offices
was usually agreed %, and great was
the sport which often resulted. For.
when all was duly arranged and made
ready. on . dark night when the suffer
was sleeping soundly III his tent. :
skirmish line from the neighboring rcgi-
ment would cautiously pick lis way
down the hill and through the brush.
and silently surround the tent One
party, creeping close in by the wall Of
the tent. would loosen the ropes and
remove them from the stakes On one
side, while another party on the other
side. at given signal, would pull the
whole concern over the suffers head.
And then would arise yells and cheers
for few moments. followed by immc-
date silence. as the raiding party would
steal quietly away.
Did they steal his goods? Very sci.
dom. For soldiers were not thieves.
and plumber was not the object, only
fun. Why did not the officers punish
tho men for doing thisP Well, some
times they did. but sometimes the OH
GERS believed the sutler TO Be cxorbItant
IN his charges and oppressive 70 the
men, and cared little how soon he was
cleared out and sent a-packing; and
therefore they enjoyed the sport quite
- well q the men, and often Initiated

OUR TRAE WITH CHINA.

The Cincinnati Commercial thus COM
ments on the condition of commerce be-
tween this country and China: "Among
the other leading interests of the United
States in her trade with China are those
of anthracite coal, lumber, and clocks
and watches: In $780, the anthracite
coal exported to China amounted to
4,879 tons, as against 3,411 tons during
IST9-80. TIE consumption of this coal
is confined chiefly to domestic and black
smith purposes, and it is shipped prin-
cipally on vessels loading kerosene oil
and sundry cargo as ballast. The prices
range from $13 to $14 per ton. In lum-
Der the trade is confined principally to
Oregon pine. The stock on hand in
July. 1880, was 2,400,0 900 artificial feet;
the arrivals amounted to 3,480, 900 SUI
perticial feet; hence the total amount
represented in 18S0-81 was $780, 600
600 superficial feet, leaving, on June 80,
1881, a balance of 1880, 600 superficial
feet. The trade is chiefly in the hands
of q single American firm. The prices
advanced IN 1881 in consequence of the
fact that during the first months there
were no vessels chartered TO bring car
goes. They rose from $50 to $75, and
even $50 per 1000 feet, but have since
declined. American clocks are gaining
extensive use through China. From all
sources 81, 222 clocks, valued at $104,
600, were imported during 1879 so. In
1S80-S1 the number was 90, 303, having
a value of 1872, 600, and during the first
SIX months of 18S1-82 a still greater in
crease has taken place, and the trade
bids fair to reach great proportions.
The great majority of these clocks are of
American make. As the figures show,
the principal object to be secured is
cheapness, united with tolerabIe time
keeping qualities. American watches
are not in demand in China, being too
expensive. The chief sources of supply
are France and Switzerland. On the
whole, the aspect of our trade relations
with China is most gratifying. A con-
tiuuance of friendship and good feeling
between the two countries is much to be
desired Circumstances and natural
position are favorable to the improve
ment of commercial possibilities, and all
that remains is for our people to reoog-
