squadrons scampered away to their work
Capt. Forrest led his company along the
main street, rode through an artillery en-
campment, shooting right and left, on to
the Gayoso house, where some prominent
Union officers were supposed to be quar-
tered. The leader and as many as could
crowd in entered the office and lower halls
on horseback, spreading dismay among
the guests, civil and military.
In a few minutes all Memphis was in an
uproar. For more thar two years the, city
had been in the undisputed possession of
the Union troops During that time vast
camps had sprung up and disappeared, dis
charging battalions in thousands and tens
of thousands to the scenes of hostile meet
ing east, west and south, to the Red River
country, to Arkansas, to Vicksburg, New

Why, she was another Cairo or Cincinnati

Capt Forrest went on alone and met a
mounted picket. With blow of his heavy
revolver he struck him to the ground, and
his trusted followers sprang forward and
disarmed the men on the post in rear Of
this unlucky vidette. The daring captain
now rallied his men and dashed on to the
next post. In the melee at the outer post
a musket had been discharged by accident
and the reserve pickets were alert. The
Confederates were received with volley,
but shouting lusrily they charged their OPP
ponents, and by this intrepid act gave the
signal for general assault. Forrest had
enjoined the utmost secrecy and silence on
all sides until the city was reached, but tho
shouts of Capt. Forests band were echoed
by q hundred throats along the column

IN AN ASYLUM NOW

An Individual Who is Annoyed by an
Unseen VentriIoqufst.
A shock-headed Individual with vari-
ege Led and untamed beard and wild eyes,
who gave his name as Charles Howe. and
who claims to be a veteran of the Grand
Army, visited the police station yester-
day and whispered a tale of woe into the
sympathetic ear Of Chief Drew.
He was from Colorado-and was
"brol>e." He had managed to ride as far
as Truckee on the cars, but was compelled
to walk the rest of the way to Sacra-
mento.
But he did not want food, nor did he
want money-he simply wanted protec-
ton. The Chief kindly rendered his
services, and the new arrival proceeded
to explain that he was the unhappy pos
SCISSOR of a real live nemesis. This meme
sis he described as being in the nature
of ventriloquist, who could stand off
three miles and throw his voice against
his tHowe's) back, thereby annoying
him greatly. The sufferer said he had
frequently locked himself up in a room.
but he could not escape the ventriloouist'
Now and then he caught glimpse Of his
nemesis, but the latter would immedi-
ately dissolve himself into colored air.
Other people had seen the nemesis. too.
but they were all afraid of him.
why, do you KNOW" said Howe con-
fidentially, when / go into strange
town and apply for work, everybody
gives me the laugh and says I'm a bum.
Then | find out that this fellow has been
there ahead of me and been talking TO
them.''
The Chief introduced the troubled man
to officer White, and the latter kindly es-
corted him to the Courthouse, where
Judge Van Fleet and Drs Simmons and
Gardner examined him. Their opinion
was that he was insane, and he was COM
mitted to the Stockton Asylum.

At the joint meeting of the Senate and
Assembly judiciary Committees last
evening Assembly Constitutional Amend
ments Nos. 6 and s, relating to changes
in the composition of the Supreme Court,
We're considered, together with several
bills on the same subject.
Mr.. Walter Van Dyke made a long
argument in support of one of the meas
ures, and the subject underwent pretty
thorough consideration, but it being a
joint committee session, no definite
action was taken.
While the matter was being discussed,
and in response to remarks to the effect
that the Supreme Court was several
years behind in it's work, Chairman
Bruner read the following letter received
by him a few days ago from the Clerk OF
the Supreme Court:

SFARTSMAN'S SENTENCE.
Little Florence ButterfeId's Assailant
to Serve Six Years.
Judge Van Fleet Says Florence Was a
Bad Little Girl-startsman
Unmoved.

E. w. Startsman, who was convicted
several days ago of having committed a
criminal assault upon little Florence
Butterfield, appeared before Superior
Judge Van Fleet yesterday for sentence,
accompanied by his attorney, Charles N.
Post.
Before the pronouncing of sentence,
Mr.. Post made the usual motion for a
new trial, on the usual grounds that the
evidence did not warrant conviction,
and that the court had erred in various of
its rulings during the trial.
Judge Van Fleet denied the motion.
MERCY ASKED FOR.
Attorney Post then appealed to the
court for mercy on behalf of his client.
He pointed out various facts adduced by
the evidence, which he thought should be
taken into consideration by the court in
mitigation Of sentence. He said the girl,
though young in years, was depraved, and
Startsman had been led to believe that she
was much older that she was
While this was going on, StartSman sat
quietly in his chair, twiddling his
thumbs, and, to all appearances, the least
interested person in the room as to what
was going on. He is Il tall, raw -boned
ing forehead, scraggy beard and sunken
checks. He does not appear to be at all
repentant for what he has done.
After Mr.. Post had finished talking,
Judge Van Fleet ordered Startsman to
stand up. He said it was apparent from
the testimony that the child was
INCoRRIGIBLE AND DIsoBEDIENT,
And he felt that there We're other extenu-
ating circumstances that should be taken
into consideration in behalf of Startsman.
Still the crime of which Startsman was
convicted was a heinous one, and girls of
tender years needed protection, and such
people as Startsman Should be taught not
to violate the law. Had not the girl
shown herself to be an unusually way
ward child, and one whose actions and
appearance would lead one to believe
that she was much older than she is, the
Judge said he would not hesitate to inn
pose a sentence of a long term OF impris-
onment upon Startsman. Under the cir
cumstances, however, he said he was in
clined to be lenient.
The Judge then sentenced Startsman to
six years Imprisonment at Folsom.
Startsman took the matter eoolly. and
whispered to an acquaintance that he got
OFT easier than he eXDoctedD -
