Catarrhal Dangers,

To be freed from the dangers of suHocaton while
lying down; to breathe freely, sleep soundly and
undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear, brain
active and free from pain or ache; to know that
no poisonous, putrd matter dehles the breath and
rots away the delicate machinery Of the smell taste
and hearing; to feel that the system does not
through its veins and arteries suck up the poison
that is sure to undermine and destroy is indeed q
blessing beyond all other human enjoyments. To
purchase immunity from such a fate should be
the object Of all afflicted But those who have
tried many remedies and ply scians despair Of re.
lief or cure.

The Real Question at Issue.

There is a practical side to the tariff
question which has been brought into
prominence as one of the vital issues OF
the time by the Presidents message,
which can not well be ignored. The
discussion of theories is one thing and
the meeting of actual, indisputable facts
is quite another The real essential
question at issue, as has been pointed out
scores of times, is that OF wages, and the
Traveller well says: In just the proper
ton that we advance toward free trade
practice, in that proportion British man
ufsctures, produced by cheap labor,
would be pitted against American man
ufactures now produced by better paid
labor. The inevitable result of this
competition would be the death Of the
American manufactures or the scaling
down wages to the standard of England
and of continental Europe. Revenue
reformers may give nauquets, and their
orators may discourse never 80 eloquent
" concerning the burdens of taxation
and the beauties of removing all restrlc.
tions from trade, so that one may buy
in the cheapest markets and sell in the
dearest-the practical question OF wages
still remains untouched. The question
of free trade, or OF first term steps to.
ward free trade, involves inevitably one
of two things-the destruction of Amer
lean industries through competition
with cheaply paid labor, or general
reduction of wages from one third to
one half. This basal bed rock truth 10

showed themselves to be good and brave SOL
diers worthy to be called veterans There
were many incidents and individual narrow
escapes and deeds of personal daring worthy of
mention if space would permit, occurring to
this detachment on this expedition.
The most of them were veterans and bravo
soldiers, commanded by good, brave and gal
liant officers. There were few recruits, who
for the first time in their lives realized the
danger and terror of battle, but they followed
the veterans and proved themselves good sol
diers. This expedition proved a terrible dis
aster to our command. It was the order OF the
day with many to get back to our camp as
best they could 1t rained night and day, and
our wagons rolled along hub-deep in mud, our
march was necessarily slow and tedious, and
the rebels had ample time to mass a sufficient
force in our front to defeat US. We were about
100mles from camp, in the heart of the enemys
country, with large and long train of wagons
and heavy artillery. 1t must have been APP
parent to any commander, whether in the field
or sitting in Memphis, that if we were forced
back it would be impossible to move our trains
to the rear and save them. 1t was the under
standing then and aCterward that Gen. Sturgis
had imperative orders to 90 until he met the
enemy, and fight them wherever he could find
them.
None but those who witnessed it or have been
similarly situated, can image the suffering these
troops endured, travelling night and day with
out food or rest until they reached camp; and
this detachment had the blunt or butt-end of it

some member Of the 1st or I'd SharpshoOters
does not tell the fact that they were always
deployed as skirmishers in front while adyanc-
ing, which would, of course, bring them in the
rear should they have to retreat. The most Of
these men enlisted early in 1861, before bOun-
ties were given, and went in from patriotism.
These regiments were composed largely Of the
most intelligent class of citizens, and they had
men who could build an engine and run it,
too; in fact, they had men Of all trades and
professions.

A Banquet Of the Mud.

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: II was in June,
1864 and we had been a week, night and day,
on the march. Our column numbered thou
sands of mounted men. Rations in our hayer-
sacks were getting low. Not drop of rain for
days-dust so thick as at times to make a
phantom of your fle-leader. Tired out, we
sleep and dream in our saddles. The reality
and the dream are as weird TO me as if of yester-
day. Instead of the bronzed, dust-begrimed
stream Of armed horsemen, the scene changes
and rows of tables are stretched along the Vir-
ginia road spread with cloths of spotless white
and covered with dishes bright and clean, bOun-
tifu!ly filed with all that stomach could crave
or taste desire.
But the most prominent and attractive of all
the tempting display IN this banquet OF the brain
was the numerous goblets Of the clearest and
purest of all huids-it seemed TO me then the
true nectar OF the gods '-Water.
No pen can describe, no brush paint, no
reality seem more real than this royal spread of
which did not aud could not partake. The
substance OF ten thousand shadoWy yiands
could scarcely have been more inviting to the
appetite.
Whether Cesar's 20 miles of tables in the
streets OF the Imperial City (of which every boy
has read suggested this TO my mind cannot say,
but my feast certainly lacked the substantiality
to satisfy the raveuous rabble of ancient Rome.
