A HEROIC LITTLE MAID.
How She .Rislxed Her Life to Lead Gen

How She .RislSed Her Life to Lead Gen
Forrest to the Ford I'm the River.
BY way of preface to the recitation
of his poem 1.-The Veterans of the
South" at the Birmingham confeder-
ate reunion, Henry Clay Fairman, ed
itor of the Sunny South, related the
following thrilling story, as having
been vouched for by Gen. n. b. For
rest himself:
''My authority" said the speaker,
"is Col. John Goode, of Virginia, who
related it to me and two others at
Richmond last May with the remark
that nobody ever heard the general re-
peat the incident without heart-thrills
and watery eyes"
Forrest (as the story goes) was
glowing under the conception of one
of those bold and unexpected enter
prises which have immortalized him as
knight of the saddle and a cavalry
captain of the first-class.
