for Little Rock. On reaching White
river Steele hoped to form a junction
with a cavalry column coming south
from Missouri, under General j. W.
Davidson. Upon that junction rested
the success of his venture.
A Novel River Flotilla.
Davidson's advance reached White
river on the Sth and learned that the
region above and below was infested
with raiding bands of Confederates
hailing from Little Rock. To aid
them In their work of o~bstructing the
river against the Federals. the raiders
had small steamers aioat which could
sail In shallow water. These were
steamers of commerce converted into
gunboats.
In order to clear the river ahead Of
Steele and Davidson a light draft Fed
eral %fiotilla, commanded by Lieuten-
ant G. w. Bache, sailed In advance on
an expedition common In those waters
and known as u gunboat raid. Bache's
force consisted of the armed wooden
steamer Lexington, the hero of many
actions, and two vessels of a unique
type known as .'tinclads." the Cricket
and the Marmora.s
The unclad gunboat had been design
ed to sail In waters where the heavy
draft ironclads could o venture be-
cause Of uncertain currents. The riv-
ers west Of the Mississippi were sub

: In Missouri and Arkansas the Fed

FIRST venture was to be made to effect
the campaign against Texas. This
campaign in territory remote from the

most daring yet useless Confederate
venture entered upon while Grant was

"IFTY years ago this time the

A GOOS4AOAN Al 4SA0os
Texas was the headquarters of the
Confederate armies west of the Mis-
sissippi river. The fertile state was
also a granary to supply the war
ridden country east of the river when
supplies could be struggled past Fed
eraI guards, which was often. It pos
sessed In Galveston a good seaport.
Although the port was covered by a
Federal blockading squadron 1t still
served the Confederates a purpose, for
feet trading ships often ran In and
out despite the blockade.
The fall of vicksburg had released
troops of the Confederacy for service
west of the Mississippi and the south
ern government spared no effort to in
crease its power in that region. More
over, agents of the Confederacy were
having ironclad ships built In Eng
land to strengthen their waning naval
power. Two or three first class cruis-
ers could disrupt the blockade off Gal
weston and with a friendly army on
land. the permanent control OF Texas,
bordering upon Mexico, would be as
sured to the south.
Collision harmful to the United
States was to be expected between the
French I'm Mexico and the southern
states. Texas, by its geographical po-
sition would, under Confederate con
troll be a ena to Federal interests.
Wholly or even partially under Fed
eral control. 1t would be a menace to

sible purpose of that control must be

The fall Of vicksburg also set free
large bodies Of Federal troops for serv-
ice elsewhere. General q. s. Grant,

not always sail where the Confederate
wooden steamers would go.
The Cricket and the Marmora were
the lightest of their kind. They were
the latest development in fighting
boats designed to operate in shallow
channels-in fact, to follow the Con-
eederate craft wherever they might go.
The m was less than an inch thick,
Ind from this they took the name Of

lery shots. but resisted bullets. This
last was important, for the rivers were
often narrow, and s~harpshooters Turk
ed along shore.
The Cricket and Marmora were arm
ed with boat howitzers, a weapon
which could be very effective against
field batteries and sharpshooters. With
light guns hidden In the bushes and
crack marksmen In the trees the Con-
federates were often able to control
the passage of stream like the White
river and Its tributary, Little Red riv-

days, nevertheless had vitality In dip
lomatic circles. Without declaring its
reason the United States government
decided not to Interfere openly with
this violation of its ruling. A round
about course was adopted to circum-
vent certain projects of the French,
real or probable, and to warn the
French emperor that the United Statea
must be reckoned with later should he
push his imperial schemes too far.
Included In the program was the pres
ence of a large Federal army on the
Mexican border.
The government of the United States
had altogether too much trouble at
home, altogether too many urgent
uses for its armies to risk becoming
embrolled in a war with a foreign
state. The doctrine of Monroe would
have to wait until the war between
the states was finished and conditions
were more propitious for the backing of
diplomacy with arms. If such a thing

Words of Familiar Songs.
ON the London Chronicle.

From the LONDON CnrOnlcle
1t was a wonderful sight and sound in
the Canadian parliament when specta-
tors and members rose and sang Rule.
Britannia Some moments elapsed, as
one learns from our correspondent. be-
fore Sir Wilfrid Lauriar could continue.
But those "some moments were proba-
bly, ample for the song. How many OF us
can sing anything more than the refrain
Of Rule, Britannia" or even remember
the name of the man who wrote the
verses or composed the tune?
1t is the tunes that stick. one may con-
clude. and not the words. l have never
met a man who can tell me the words of
the national anthem. though every man
thinks he can sing the tune. Nor have
ever met a Scotsman who could-having
clasped hands and sung For Aud Lang
Syne"-go beyond the chorus of it. and
say in cold blood the verses that Burns
wrote. And l am curious to meet a man
who can recite the words Of Rule.
Britannia They are-all but the title
one may remark. very silly words.

Cabmen's grievances vary with the
course of ages. Just now the price OF
petrol is driving them to strike. In mid
Vie. orian days they used to agitate
cainst the time wasted through their
compulsory performances on knockers.
In those days many passengers insisted
on cabmen knocking at the doors OF the
houses to which they drove. Objections
to this duty led to police court cases.
until the authorities decided that it was
not incumbent on cabmen to perform II.
Then some Of the public retaliated by
walking indoors when driven home and
sending out the exact fare at the end OF
fourteen minutes. No charge could be
made for waiting until a quarter Of an
hour had elapsed. The quarrel dragged
on for several years, but finally people
gave up ordering cabmen to knock Tor
them, or asked ii as a favor.
