GENERAL FORESTS aUMOR.

Youths Companions: One of the fiercest
and most determined fighters in the civil
war was General N. B. Forrest, COM
manding the confederate cavalry. His
name was a redoubtable ONE, and few Of
his opponents were aware of the humor-
GUS side of his disposition, familiar to his
friends. For many years the general
loved to tell the story of an incident
which occurred near Cowan's station
The few troopers he had with him
were being holly pursued by the federals.
and the general was ~galloping along at
top speed. A fiery southern dame hap
pened to be standing by the roadside. n
when she saw the flying confederate off,
Ger her Indignation boiled over. Shaking
her fist in scorn. she screamed:
"Why don't you u and fight, you
cowardly rascal? If old Forrest were
here he'd make you fight!"
Fortunately. the generals horse soon
carried him out of range. .ss-
Z Forests b~iographer relates that once
at a dinner party, where he had been in
vited as the guest of honor, there was a
l~oQuacious widow, with hair of raven
black, who rudely interrupted the CON-
x~ersation by asking General Forrest why
IT, was that his beard was still black,
while has hair was turning gray.
With great politeness Forrest turned
toward her..

! captured federal chaplain was brought
10 his headquarters.
odThe man Shove the deepest anxiety
and depression, for stories OF General
FORESTS severity were rife in the Union
camp. >n' ~
A little later supper was announced.
and Forrest, to the chaplain's surprise,
invited him to share it; but his surprise
grew to amazement when the general
turned to him reverentially and said:
"Farson, will you please ask the bless
ing ?'
The next morning Forrest. courteously
gave hmm an escort through the confed-
crate lines. for he wished mo nou-com-
batants for prisoners. and babe him
goodbye with the remark
"Parson. I would keep you here to

LINCOLN ON

Although Colonel Bryan eulogixes Lin
coin in one breath and condemns expan-
SION in the next, it IS nevertheless q fact
that the great emancfpator was a sthor-
i, ough expansionist. In 1861 q question
arose as to what should be done with
the colored people to be thrown upon the
world without our by the condl-
tions of war. In his message to con-
gress. dated December 3, 1861. President
Lincoln referred to the matter of ~coloniz-
ing the negroes at some length, couclud-
ing as follows: =.
To carry u the plan of colonization
may involve h acquiring of territofy.
and also the appropriation of money be-
yond that to be expended in the terri
torial acquisition. Having practiced h
acquisition of territory for nearly sixty
years, the question of constitutional
power to do so is no longer an open
n with us. The power was questioned
at first by Mr.. Jefferson, who. however.
In the purchase of Louisiana, yielded his
scruples on the plea Of great expediency.
II it be said that the only legitimate Oh
5ect of acquiring territory is to furnish
homes for white men, this measure eff
fects that object: for the emigratiom of
colored mem leaves additional room for
white men remaining or coming here.
Mr.. Jefferson. however, placed the i'm
portance of procuring Louisiana more on
political and commercial grounds than
on providing room for population.
In the foregoing we have not only the
evidence that Lincoln was an expansion
list. but that Jefferson favored the policy
OF expansion on political and CONNER
ella grounds. 1t is now charged by the
democrats. under the leadership OF
Bryan. that the republicans favor ex-
pansion IN political and commercial
grounds, and should therefore be de-
prived of the control of national affairs!
Yet these bourbons profess to be the
disciples of jefferson and the custodians
of the doctrines which he gave to the
world. They praise jefferson, and re-
pudiate his teachings: they eulogize Lin
coin and condemn the recommendations
he made. ~
