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 dayliga at
on the morning of the 2lst Sunday, and
Forrest knew 10 2 nicely the location OF
every picket post that would challenge his
advance 4 body of men under Capt W.
H, Forrest had the lead, and was directed 10
open the road and dash on TO the heart OF
Memphis. Capt. Forrest and ten men
marched sixty PAGES ahead of all others. and
soon met the sharp cry "Who comes there?'
Nc 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-
oners." AS the regiment named had been

time before. the Union picket couldn't do

revolver he struck him TO the ground, ana

After the Apples.

4 gentleman who some years ago had
occasion to take a long journey through
the Caucasus was accompanied by a ser
want and guide, who told him many
stories of the country-stories Of danger
and peril IN that bear frequented forest
land. Once Stepan, the guide, and a
friend Of his had observed an apple tree
well laden with fruit, some seven or
eight versts from their village in the for
est. It stood unclaimed Of man, almost
the only relic of some prosperous fischer
kess village. Stepan and his friend ar
ranged to meet at the tree one morning
early and share the fruit.
When Stepan came near the tree he
saw some one already engaged IN throw
ing the apples down. Thinking his
friend was trying TO steal march on
him, the irate Stepan heaped all manner
of abuse on him, and at last, getting no
answer, fairly yelled with rage, and BE-
gan to throw things into the tree.
Then the shower OF apples ceased, and
with gruff snort huge old bear came
tumbling out Of the tree, almost on top
of the terrified villager. As usual IN
such cases, Bruin was quite as much
frightened as the man, and shambled Of
as quickly as possible, leaving the apples

ponents and by this intrepid act gave the
signal for a general assault. Forrest 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 threats along the column
stretching far behind and the secret was
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 De 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 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

They ask and demand freer trade with

commerce, and employment to hundreds
Of thousands OF wage workers ow idle.
II free trade with Brazil is good for

rocity with Mexico aud Uruguay, with
BuenoS Ayres and all the States OF
South aud North America, lying thou

Free trade, or reciprocity, for the
terms are reciprocal in the sense Of
commercial intercourse, - the coun-
tries which are parties to the measure
must make reciprocal concessions TO
equalize any undue advantage that may
exist on either one side or the other,
Is the way out Of our commercial and
industrial stagnation. We are not a
new country any longer II is filled
with manufacturers and workmen who
can produce double what IS needed for
home consumption With only home
market our manufacturers are compelled
TO form trusts, diminish the output, and
put up prices is order to compensate
them for idle time and loss Of interest
on investment, o.. else cut each others
throat in the break-neck effort for a
share % the trade. Meanwhile the
wage-earner must either go idle half
his time or stand reductions in his
wages, which after all are but temper
AIRY relief.
Freer trade is what we must have and
we cannot have IL without giving and
taking, without equal concessions. We
cannot hope to export all our stuff and
import nothing but the cash. All trade
is barter; an exchange OF something
that both parties to the transaction
want and the difference in value is the
balance that either side gets in cash or
bills OF exchange.
