out. Seeing this, Forrest, who was close up to the pioneer band, ordered his bugler to sound the charge. The call was taken up by the bugler of each separate com mand, and in a twinkling the enthusiastic 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 than 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 Orleans and Chattanooga. Mighty squad rons of Union war vessels had patroled the waters that washed her docks and man. moth floating expeditions had swept down the broad river to the gulf. Memphisl Why, she was another Cairo or Cincinnati or Baltimore. The organized Confederate front was hundreds of miles away, and she had long held the character of city of ref uge for people driven from their homes farther south and for disabled soldiers of the Union army, as well as a place of safe keeping for Confederate prisoners.

nerves of steel give way and tho strongest form is prostrated by poor little piece Of Iead-the head of gigantic black-that bead whose skull had once all but crusbed-with wide open eyes, rested upon my weak but still breathing chest. He had received the death shot in my stead
 In November. 1866, the seat of the Mexi can republic was at Zacatecas, and the i'm perial general, Miramon, previously presi dent of Mexico, but at this time q brave and jealous supporter of MaximiliaD, hast eped with a small force from the City Of Mexico, marching through Queretaro and recruiting on the way. l was at Queretaro with the remnant of my blacks awaiting orders MiramoD had heard of the storm ing by the Egyptians at Oaxaca, and also of their exploit at Caiorze, and ia conse- quence he made me commander of his body guard, numbering about seventy men and comprising loyal Mexicans, several Ger mans and few Frenchmen. My blacks had meanwhile been well mounted and l soon commanded i20 men on splendid steeds.
 Miramon. without awaiting for support, fell upon Zacatecas with such fury that the enemy was completely surprised.

 rise or after sunset, and E.. s. Clark, president of the club, sees that the law is enforced, we'll knowing that one gun fired after sunset is more injurious than twenty during the day. Hence the red heads and. canvasbacks of Benjies seem to increase rather than diminish.
 What is said of Benjies applies equally well to the grounds of numerous other shooting clubs as far south as the Palm CTS island marshes, which, for lack of transportation, may be called the ulti- ma thule of duck shooting The Cur rituck and Palmer's island clubs own or control immense tracts of land, and though they are the most favored the clubs north of them also possess good duck.
 The ordinary boat in use at all of them is the small, light, flat bottomed Delaware rail boat. It is provided with pair of oars working on pins that fit into outriggers, and with long setting pole, which ends in 8 bent wire like two pronged pitchfork, to catch against the reeds in polling. The thwarts offer rests for the guns, and the ammunition box is slowed away in the bottom. Nowadays breechloader is almost ex- clusively used, for many birds are crip- pied and require second shot before they escape into the thick weeds, where they can be retrieved seldom, if ever.
 The blind or battery which is used for shooting from the ducking shores of the eastern coasts is set variously, &C., cording to the variety of duck one wishes to snare. Young or inexperienced gun ners prefer points projecting far out into the open water, but they are especially unsuited to marsh ducks, and even can- vasbacks, the most fearless of all, seem to give a wide berth to such spots. Un- der the lee of bank is the best point for the black ducks, mallards and especially widgeons. Then, if the stools are placed to one side of the stand. quartering the wind as it were, the birds are likely to come on without much suspicion, and they will get within gunshot even if they do not pass completely over the stools.
 That operation of arranging the stools so that the birds will "come right" is what bothers all of US. Many men who consider themselves expert wild fowlers err here. It involves so many questions the position of the sun, the way of the wind, the cover, and then the nature of the species of duck that are flying. Valuable time is never lost by scanning attentively the movements of the flock, and deliberately selecting the best place.

The Nebraska Goyernorship.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court, to- day granted an application from coun- sel for Mir. Boyd, who was elected Governor of Nebraska, for writ of error to the Supreme Court to test the questions involved in the decision of a majority of the Supreme Court of Ne braska, who decided he was not an American citizen, and therefore not eligible to the office of Governor of Me- braska. The Supreme Court meets again on the 25th, and it is the inten- tion of Boyd's counsel to move to ad- vance the case on the docket and secure a speedy hearing. Court will be ad- iourned for the summer recess on the 25th, and there Is a possibility that an effort will be made to have the case ar gued on that day, so as to save time fixed for hearing next session.

No halt was made of any consequence. Orders and information were given to the commanders while on the march. Fresh scouts were encountered from time to time, and when the raiders were within three miles of the city it was nearing daylight on the morning of the 2lst Sunday, and Forrest knew to a nicety the location of every picket post that would challenge his advance. A body of men under Capt. w. H. Forrest had the lead, and was directed to Memphis. Capt. Forrest and ten men marched sixty paces ahead of all others, and soon met the sharp cry "Who comes theres" No satisfactory answer could be given, of course, but one was trumped up to serve the moment. Capt. Forrest promptly re- sponded, "A detachment of the Twelfth Missouri cavalry with Confederate pris- Opers." As the regiment named had been on Forests front, near Oxford, a short time before, the Union picket couldn't do otherwise than accept the answer as far as it went. Advance oneP said he.
 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 spraug forward and disarmed the men on the post in rear of this unlucky yidette. The daring captain now rallied bis men and dashed on to the next post. In the melee at the outer post musket had been discharged by accident and the reserve pickets were alert. The Confederates were received with yolley, but shouting lustily they charged their op- ponents, and by this intrepid act gave the eiOnnl for A general assault HOrrest had enjoined the utmost secrecy and silence on all sides until the city was reached, but the shouts of Capt, Forests band were echoed by hundred throats along the column stretchinu far behind and the seers.

LNoR SOME TIME A GREAT WANT HAS
 IT been felt by the orange grower of Southern California for fertilizer adapted to this fruit We have been successful in finding just the food, and now offer to the orange grower our 'Oange Tree Fertilizer" It is an article thoroughly adapted to this tree, consisting of bone, potash, phosphoric acid, ammonia and other ingredients, and is a complete manure for growing trees, from time of setting out to full maturity. Gophers will not work where this fertilizer Is used, on account of their distaste for the phosphoric acid, which is very helpful to the tree-either orange or lemon. In the growing of other citrus or deciduous fruits in California the use of fsuperphOsphates, according to Prof. Hilgard, will be found much better adapted to the purpose than either barnyard or stable manure, in that they contain the neces- sary constituents of which the soil has been de- prived by its long continuance in the cultiva- ton of such crops In setting out trees one pound per tree should be used, thoroughly mixed with the soil before irrigating. The quantity used on old trees according to the age of the tree-tree years otd, 5 pounds; 10 years old 10 pounds. If the trees are 20 feet apart or more, and the soil be very poor, greater quan- tity may be used to good advantage. The fer tilizer may be applied at any time before a rain or irrigating.

cries. A large number of prisoners, twenty .cannon, and mass of the documents and papers of the hostile government were the reward of this blow. Juarez himself fled as usual, guarded by 400 cavalry, and al though was close upon his heels and ex- pended the last breath of man and horse to get possession of him, he had too much the start. l missed my object, but with 100 prisoners returned about noon and was re- ceived by Miramon with smile and hearty Mexican embrace.
 Before the expected supports had time to reach Miramon he was compelled by an overpowering attack from the north to abandon Zacatecas and take up the return march toward Mexico. When we were two days' march from Zacatecas we were sud denly attacked in the rear and on both Hanks by Gems. Escobodo and Trevigno with 6,0O0 cavalry. In trice our prison CTS were freed and our captured artillery, together with our own, taken. Our in fantry scattered almost without firing shot. Miramon barely escaped with a few staff officers toward Queretaro, and his young brother, Col. Don Joachim Mira mon, fell wounded into the hands of the enemy. Surrounded by my faithful blacks,
 
 others having fallen-against regiment, in order to shield Miramon and to save what was no longer to be saved. Like wedge my gallant fellows drove their foam ing steeds into the mass of the enemy's riders, carrying death and destruction on the points of their swords and receiving death and destruction in return. Sabered and stabbed by sword and lance and trod. den under the hoofs of thousand horses, the brave troop sank, buying with their hearts blood free road for the fleeing general.
 My horse was shot under me and two of my blacks were trampled to pieces before my eyes in efforts to rescue me. Seven blacks still remained by me, and these could have saved themselves by leaving me in my plight One of them had saber cut across the face, and another carried the broken point of spear in his breast. l myself, unwounded until now, received a shot in the left shoulder that had been aimed at my head, but failed of the mark because of push from one of my negroes. The shot had, been given ''in sport" by a Mexican of fcer, and the faithful man who spoiled the aim paid for the act with his life for the in. human wretch before us shot him dead and then transfixed his body with a spear. A Mexican staff officer now took us in charge, and out of my hundred only six remained. l saw, too, by the shots directed to the earth that the wounded were being slaughtered as they lay. Col. Miramon was borne on q stretcher into the streets, where he was made a target for the revolvers of the off

cers until his head was crushed to pieces and his body had been pierced by a hun dred bullets. One hundred and twenty three Frenchmen, myself and my six ne- groes were conducted on the following morning to the inner court of the hacienda of San Jacinto, and informed that by order of "the highest powers" we were to be shot.
 My two black friends lay half dismem- bered on the ground, their dusky faces, with white pupils, steadily fixed upon my bloodless, tired and dropping head. for my wounds had not been bound up The other four, dark and threatening as stormcloud, stood around us, gnashing their teeth. The horrible execution had been visited upon ten of the condemned, and their bloody and sometimes still active bodies were thrown on cart and carried out past the living. l could count almost exactly when my turn would come, and every man will believe me, without particular proof, that the situ- ation was not q pleasant one. AS gen darme, missed by the first volley, was forced back to the wall for second attempt, there sounded in my tortured heart the loud cry, "Entsetzlich, schone den Mann" UIorrible, spare that man) At the same moment the colonel commanding the execution put spurs to his horse, and with one spring of the beast was at my side. 'Sie sind ein Deutscher9" (You are German) he called to me, and while another volley rang through the bloody court replied with choking voice, "Ehemaliger Prcussisher offizier" (Formerly Prussian officer), and wondered not little at being addressed in my mother tongue. The colonel placed his hand on my head, and as Abraham and Abdallah, two blacks who held me upright sprang upon him frantically, he signaled an officer and had me and the six Soudanese by my side conducted out of the hacienda; he himself rushed out through an alley, and returned half an hour later to say that he had begged our lives from Escobodo be cause we were not gendarmes, or French. men, for these alone had been condemned The friendly colonel Carlos von Gagern, also formerly Prussian officer, looked after our needs with the heartiest amiabili- ty, and at evening came with an escort of twenty-five men and seven extra saddled horses. He told me that Escobodo and him. self had had words with Gen. Trevigno, and the order of clemency in our cases might be revoked at any moment. He bound me on my horse. gave me money, and handed my unwounded blacks re- volver each. The escort was to guide us by roundabout path toward Queretarc and leave us at daylight.
 It was a martyrTay that lay before us in spite of all. The negro with the lance wound fell dead from his saddle on the fourth day; the others remained by me to the end. On the twentieth day we reached safety at Texecoco on the coast.

ever, good reason for this apparent favoritism, and that is the superior pro- tection game birds are afforded in the preserves of the east. Another reason, too, is that which nature provides in giving her hospitality to the birds in Maryland and North Carolina more lavishly than in western coverts. There the shooting can, perforce, endure only from the first of September till the chill breath of winter closes the ponds and drives the birds to sedge grass new.
 The Benjies Ducking club, of Mary land, which entertained the president, has location which, next to Currituck, in North Carolina, is the most famous for duck. and one where the birds seem to exist in their original abundance. The club has taken stringent measures to protect its game, and all the adjoin- ing lowlands and marshes haunted by ducks have been bought up. The Ben jies club, too, has been noted for its ex- clusiveness, and not often are visitors permitted to shoot from blind. The result of this restriction is shown in the fact that on his first day out President Harrison walked back to the club house with six red head duck as his share of the killing. Tie total shooting of the day was as follows: Twelve red heads, two black heads and bald pate. Not bad record for the first shooting of the early season. Later, of course, the rec ord will be multiplied by six for each gun, and in September hundred ducks day for each sportsman and his gun ner is no unusual average. The ducks this spring are all the best kind, well fed and fat, and while the president re- mained such thing as a poor duck was unknown.
 The firing closed at 5:2O p. m., for the law wisely forbids shooting before sun
