THRILLING STORY OF A RAID
A Modest Music Teacher - Who
Became a. Major General.

Made a Failure—He and His Brigade
of Cavalry Bide Through the Heart of
Mississippi from North to South—Then
They Turn Westward and Come Out at
’ Baton Rouge, 1.... May 2.
The early part of the year 1863 was a dull
and dreary time in the north. It was a time
of waiting and discouragement. From the
battle of Stone river to that of Chancellors-
ville, in May, there was little to break‘even
the monotony of the'months.
Complaints were univemal at home and in
the field. Those at home grumbled because
there was no fighting. Many of those in
camp complained bitterly of scant and 1m
rations, of worthless rags issued to them for
clothing. ' ._
During this melancholy winter a corre-
spondent wrote of President Lincoln:
“The president looks haggard and care-
woru—who wonders at iti Yet he preserves
his good nature, and some new story or 'bon
mot from him is always in circulation. The
last was uttered on Saturday at the public
reception, when a western paymaster, in full
major's attire, was introduced and said:
‘Being here, Mr. Lincoln, I thought I’d call
and pay my respects) ‘From the complaints
of the soldiers,’ responded the president, ‘I
guess that’s about all any of you do pay.’ ”
Almost the only thing to break thedis-
couraging monotony were some rattling
cavalry fights and raids.
Up to 1863 the Confederates mostly had
. these raids all their own way. But by 1863
the north had learned lessons in more ways
than one. Thefruits of one of these lessons
appeared in
GRIERSON’S MISSISSIPPI RAID.
Early in the you 1863 an adventurous
spirit had proposed to Gen. Grant to make
a bold cavalry raid around and in the rear of
Vicksburg. The object of the raid would be
to destroy railroads and bridges, and thus
prevent supplies and re-enforcements from
being easily brought into Vicksburg. The
raid was in this manner to aid in the reduc-
tion of Vicksburg.
At first Grant said nayto the scheme.
The first of April, however, he summoned
its bold projector, and bade him go in and
win. , ,
The man who proposed this raid through
the heart of Mississippi was 001., afterward
Maj. Gen., Benjamin Henry Grierson.
He was a western man, living in Illinois,
. ~ and was 35 years
old when the war
began. He was
born in Pittsburg,
Pa., however, and,
like Horace Gree-
ley, was Scotch-
Irish parentage. .
Gen. Grierson was
one of the most
picturesque and in-
teresting charac-
ters that the north
produced d u ri n g
thewar. Hiscareer
' is invested with a
romance that will
render it fascinat-
ing to the American reader in all timeto
come.
At the time the war began Benjamin Gri-
erson was living in Jacksonville, Ills. He is
described as being “full of a vivid, elastic
life, overflowing with enthusiasm.” Like
Gen. John A. Logan, that other Illinois man,
Grierson was slender and dark. He was very
quick and graceful in his movements, and
seemed to have a physique of iron endurance.
.There was no shoulder strap pomposity
about him, even after he became a major
general. He was modest, gentle and genial
in his manners, and such he remained.
But his ability in the cavalry field was pro-
nounced from the beginning. In the early
part of the war he was aide on the staff of
Gen. Prentiss, serving without pay. Indeed,
a writer in The United States Service Maga-
zine says that Grierson served without pay
throughout the whole war. In December,
1861, he became major of the Sixth Illinois
cavalry, and in a few weeks his battalion was
the best drilled and disciplined of the cavalry
troops in the west. In March, 1862, the Sixth
Illinois cavalry, armed only with “rusty
sabers,” started to join Grant at Pittsburg
Landing. At Paducah, Ky., Governor
Yates of Illinois, likewise on the way to,
Grant, encountered the regiment. Maj.
Grierson called to pay his'respects to the
governor, on board the steamboat. The gov-
ernor led the dark haired cavalryman back
too party of ladies in the cabin, and intro-
duced him to them as Col. Grierson.
His colonel had resigned, and, unknown to
the major, every officer of the regiment but
one had petitioned the governor to appoint
Grierson their colonel, and the governor had
done so.
In1862 Col. Grierson’s regiment was or-
dered to Memphis, and here he showed him-
self no less accomplished in field than in
camp. He and his men dashed out from head-
quarters like a whirlwind, and pounced upon
bands of Confederate bushwhackers and
guerrillas in west Tennessee and northern
Mississippi, “He showed them that dash,
daring and hard riding were not all on one
side of the line. He seemed never to sleep,
but to watch day and night and be ready for
the mount and gallop at any moment.
Once he came very near being caught. He
and forty of his men were dismounted and
at dinner,'seventeen miles back of Memphis.
With the dripping pork slice poised in mid
air, just before it touched their mouths, 400
Confederates suddenly hove into sight.
The men dropped their food and took
refuge wherever they might, behind trees,
the fence or a rock. They werefired on undre-
turned the fire obstinate] y. In a twinkling Col.
Grierson mounted eighteen of his men, and
with these charged upon the whole 400 Cou-
federates. The very impudence Of the thing
seemed somehow to paralyze them, and their
lines wavered and then turned back. A hun-
dred of Grier'son’s men appearing by another
road at the same opportune moment, the body
of Confederates turned and fled.
The last year of the war Gen. Grierson,
then a brigadier, was promoted to the full
rank of manor general of volunteers. After
the war he remained in the service and was
appointed colonel of the Tenth United State
. ...ii-y. Before the war he earned his 1.
1”,; as a music teacher. Such was the mar.
wLo made the daring raid through Missis-
hlppl in the early summer Of 1863.
By referring to the accompanying map
the reader will see the route passed over by
tho dauntlem cavalryman. He was noted
during the War as the man who never made
afailure. Every enterprise that he under-
took was successful.
April 17, 1863, Grierson and his men began
their famous ride. He took three cavalry
regiments, his own, the Sixth Illinois, COL
Loomis commanding; the Seventh Illinois,
001. Prince, and the Second Iowa, Col. Hatch.
They started from Lagrange, Tenn, fifty
miles east of'Meinphis. False movements had
been made in various directions beforehand
to deceive the, COnfederates', who might be
on watch. But the real expedition struck
out south at a rattling pace, and was soon
over the border into Mississippi. The first
day they reached Ripley, in that state. At
Ripley, on the 18th, the command divided,
the Second Iowa, going southeasfcrly and
crossing the Tallahatchie river. The main
body went directly scuth, also mug the
,Tallahatchie near the town of New Albany.
A second time the command split, this time
a battalion of the Seventh Illinois passing to
the right of the main body and going directly
to New Albany.
Skirmishing was kept up night and day
with bodies of Confederate cavalry which
were encountered in the vicinity of New Al-
bany. The morning of April 19, Grierson

From time to timeamall bodies Of Confed-
erates were met and routed. The night of
April {9 Grierson and his men encamped at
Pontotoc, destroying 400 bushels of salt
which the Confederates had .abudoned.
April 20, early in the morning, Grierson
started his prisoners, his least effective men
and one piece of artillery northward, on the
way back toLagrange. They were lawm-
brances. The raid was now goingtobegin
in earnest. The 'men that had been sent
northward misled the Confederates. into be-
lieving that the whole expedition was return-
southward. Where itwas 'to came out no ‘
man knew, least of all, the panic stricken
people through whose country it passed like
a. tornado. Like a tornado, :too, it was in its
work of destruction. Grierson laid waste
property and carried away food, horses and
men. Near Dismal Swamp one of the Isl-gut
tanneries in Mississippi was destroyed. Now
the command united, new again separated,
detachments flying this way and that, and
whisking hither and thither, like the evolu-
tions of flocks of great birds in midair. At
Newton two trains of cars, with Confederate
army supplies, were destroyed, and near the
same town four bridges were torn up. At
Raleigh the command halted, and Grierson
sent out a scout to cut the telegraph wire, -
which at Lake Station would give the alarm
of his whereabouts to Jackson and other
points. The scout ran into a regiment of
Confederate cavalry that had been sent to
find Grierson. Strangely enough, the scout
not only escaped capture himself, but also
succeeded in deceiving the Confederates as to
his commander’s whereabouts. . “Ben Grier-
son’s luck” seems never to have deserted him.
Hearing the scout’s report, he quickly crossed
Leaf river and burned its bridges behind
him, cutting off pursuit in the rear.
A singular adventure befell Capt. Forbes,
with one company of the Seventh Illinois.
He was more than a day’s march east of - the
main body, when he suddenly'came upOn, a
large force of the Confederates at Enterprise,
Miss, ten or twenty times as large ‘as
hm own. He put a bold face: upon the'mats
ter, and riding to the town ‘u'n'dera ’flagfof
truce, demanded its surrender. Col. Good=~
win, the Confederate commander, asked an
hour to consider. Forbes: granted it only'to'o
gladly, and, while the Confederates were can. ‘
sidering, he and his company put spurs T‘fo
their horses and galloped westward toward
Grierson, blessing their lucky stars for their
escape. . ~
From Montrose Grierson turned "slightly
westward. It became evident new to " '
Confederates that he did not mean-tore
him off and capture him. At Pearl river
southern pickets were tearing up the bridge
when Grierson reached it. He dashed into
them and dispersed them, and crossed in
safety. Ten minutes more and he would
have been too into.
011 the afternoon of May 2, 1863,a great
body of wild looking men rode into Baton
Rouge, La. It was as if they had sprung
from the ground. They were dusty and hag-
gard, and some of them were asleep, sitting
bolt upright upon their horses.
No wonder. In sixteen days they had rid-
den 800 miles, from north to south, through
Mississippi. They had destroyed over $4,000,-
000 worth of property,_cut' two important)
railroad communications and captured over
1,000 prisoners and 1,200 hdrses.
They were Grierson and his men.
“The stren th of the south is overestb
mated,” said ‘riersou afterward. “The Con-
federacy is a mere shell.” .
Over Dress In San hancisco.
While San Francisco pays close atten-
tion to European fashions in dress, it fur-
nishes more examples of originality in
styles than most large cities. This is
particularly true of the wearing of wraps
and overcoats. For this the glorious cli-
mate is largely responsible. In New York
on a fine summer day the lady who would
parade Broadway in a heavy sculskin
ulster would certainlybe regarded with
more than interest. Equally astonishing
in the metropolis would be the sight of a
lady in midwinter strolling through the
streets in a thin, clOsc fitting dress with-
out muif, wrap or tippet. Such anachron-
isms puss unnoticed in San Francisco,
however.
There is no climatic or fashionable dc-
cree that forbids the appearance of the
sealskin ulster anywhere, and it does
active service throughout the year. Oc-
cusionnlly it does duty under trying cir.
cumstuiices, for the fog or wind of a sum-
mer day is likely to give place at any n10-
meut to undimmed sunshine that makes
the thermometer 90 dogs. in the shade.
Strangers from older communities, where
the sealskin ulster comes into fashion only
for a brief space in the twelvcmontli, are
amazed at its perennial reign in San
Francisco. The fair sex are not the only
ones who present sharp and strange cou-
trasts in the‘ matter of overdress. The
overcoat is not often a necessity in San
Francisco, and is worn more for style
than comfort as n. rule—Sun Francisco
Chronicle. ~
The Umbrellas of Italy.
They make no umbrellas in Italy ac-
cording to the English idea. The trim,
tightly rolled umbrella of England and
the United States is unknown, except in
the hands Of a tourist. Even the most ac
complished Italian gentleman thinks
nothing of carrying a coarse, clumsy um-
brella, which, when furled and tied up, is
nearly a foot in diameter and has ahandle
nearly equal in size to the center pole of a
Sibley tent. The Italians have a huge
umbrella which is always carried by the
common people and sometimes by the
higher classes. This umbrella, when un-
furled, is full five feet across. It is made
of some strong, course material, and is al-
ways in some flaming color. You will see
these umbrellas in pea green, a bright,.
cold blue, purple and flame red. They
are also carried by the black frocked
priests. They resemble very much in shape
and size an artist‘s sketch umbrella.
They are a protection against the cold
rains of the winter and the blazing suns
of the summer. Every Italian farmer and
laborer carries one. You will see a farmer
and his laborer going out under these
umbrellas to their daily work, and in
nearly every hedgerow you will see, in
passing through the country, these um-
brellas furled and thrown down tem-
porarily by the laborers while they are at
work—T. C. Crawford in New York

STUNG BY A SCORPION'.
HOW THE DEADLY INSECT MAKES
ITS WAY NORTHWARD.
A Seared Darkey ii: a New York Fruit
Store—The 01d Druggist's Remedy—The
"Mule Killer’s" Description of the Scor-
pion Family.
A reporter was hurrying down Barclay
street a few days ago, conscious that he
had but a few minutes in which to catch
the Hoboken ferryboat, when he suddenly
stopped at a dark opening, which led into
a still darker basement. Bunches of ba-
nanas hung to the lintel and were fes-
tooued up the jambs of the doorway,
while bursting crates of golden oranges
Were piled on the downward leading steps.
It was an' agonizing yell, which seemed
to hint of murder and sudden death, as it
burst from the recesses of this dingy look?
lng cavern that had arrested his steps.
He had not long to wait for an explana-
tion. Up the steps, at the risk of overturn:
ing the piled up boxes of fruit which ob-
structed the passage, bounded acoalblack
negro, whose eyes were bulging out of his
head with mingled fright and pain, and
as he ran he vigorously shook one of his
immense bands, which the reporter could
see was growing every instant still larger.
“Fo’ dc lawd," he blnbbered, “Fee a
dead niggah, suah. I'se stung by a rat-
tler, I is.” To a dabble: in natural his-
tory the opportunity was not to be missed, .
even at the expense of, losing half a dozen
Hoboken ferry boats, and the reporter
followed the negro as he bolted into a
drug store near by. He found the man
exhibiting his wounded paw to an un-'
sympathetic druggist, who seemed, how-
ever, to know exactly what to do under
the circumstances, while the patient kept
up a running commentary of ejaculations
be on the agony hewas suffering.
“Hit’s a ter'ble bite, shah. 'Hit aches me
’way up to dat ar' shOulder. Rattler-‘5
blte's poison, aint's it, sahf" “That’s no
rattler," snorted the druggist. “Came
out of a bunch of bananas, you say? Well,
I guess it was a scorpion. "
“No, sah,‘ hit came from among dem
or’nge boxes."
“Then it must have been a spider or a
mule killer,” said the druggist.
By this time he had prepared a dose
which he gave the terrified. darkey to
swallow, and then, with a strong smelling
lotion, he bathed the afiiicted member.
At this point the reporter tooka hand in
the conversation. “Is that whisky you
gave him to drink?” he asked.
“No, young man,” said the old drug-
gist. “It’s ammonia, and worth a quart
of [whisky in the case of a spider or scor-
pion bite." .
‘.‘Then a mule killer is a scorpion?” '
“No, sir, it is not a scorpion."
“Ah, then"-with brilliant ratiocina-
tion—“it’s a spider. "
“Wrong again," said the druggist. “It
isn't a spider."
“Then what on earth is it?"
“It’s just between the two," said the
druggist, and the dorky having subsided
into a condition of mute despair, varied
by an occasional mean of lingering agony,
and the store being otherwise deserted,
the druggist became quite conversational.
He was an old man with clean shaven
face, straggling gray hair and keen eyes,
which peered at one over the tops of his
old fashioned spectacles. This was by no
means the first case of a poisonous bite he
had treated, he said, since he had settled
in the neighborhood. All around him
were the establishments of dealers in all
sorts of tropical fruits, and hidden in
bunches of bananas, under heaps of cocoa-
nuts or in‘ crates of fruit, were often to
be found scorpions and spiders of all sorts
and sizes. Occasionally the men handling
the fruit get bitten, but more often the
insects are in a semi-torpid state and are
killed before they get a chance to do any
damage.
“Many years ago," continued the drug-
gist, “I was a, member of a surveying
party, for, among other professions I have
followed, is that of a surveyor, and found
myself helping to lay out one of the first
railroads ever run through Florida. We
were at work during the cold season,
when one evening, after a hard day’s
work, I rode into camp on my. mule, and,
picking up a blanket which was lying
across 0. log, I buckled it around my
beast’s body to prevent it catching cold.
Hardly had I done so when the mule be-
gun to indulge, in a gymnastic perform-
ance which would have put even an army
mule to the blush. I paid no attention at
first beyond passing a few objugatory re-
marks, but finally, as he kept- up
his kicking and plunging, I determined
.5 ‘toftake off the blanketand see if abrapch

tangled in it and account for his restlessv
ness. Instead of a. thorn I found a brown
creature about three inches long hanging
on fOr dear life to the mule’s back. One
of the men who knew the country rather
better than I said it was a mule killer,
and sure enough, inside Of two hours Mr.
Mule was as dead as the proverbial .her-
ring. . As we sat round the camp fire that
night many were the stories told of the
havoc wrought by this insignificant look-
ing pest. Not only mules but valuable
horses have fallen victims by the score to
this insect, which is variously known as
the scruncher, devil’s bull driver and whip
scorpion.” ,
The scientific description of the scar.
pion family states that they have an
elongated body, which, like that of all
members of that family, is divided into
segments, the last six of which, in the
case of the scorpion, are of equal size.
; The tail is flexible and ends in asting.
g The chclicera, or fangs, are short, and
i end in a pincer like appendage, while the
palpi, or jaw appendages, are long and
also end in a forceps. Respiration is ef-
fected by means of two pairs of pulmo-
nary sacks, which communicate with the
air through four openings. A curious
thing to be noticed about the whip
scorpion is that the poisonous fangs
above referred to take the place of the
harmless feelers or antenna of beetles,
butterflies. moths and most Of the crus-
tacea, such as lobsters and shrimps. A
cognate change is remarked in spiders, in
whom the antennas are replaced by poison-
ous jaws. The anterior pair of the legs of
the whip scorpion are also peculiar. They
are much thinner than the others, and the
feet are many jointed, so as to be capable
of being used as flexible organs of touch,
so that this ugly looking heart has turned
his feelers into poisonous jaws and his legs
into feelers. The whip consists of the
thin. vicious looking tail, which can be'
lashed around like a rawhide in the hands
of an'angry mam—New York Mail and

snoouc'r of THE POPPY.
Nearly 0500.000 Spent Yearly for Opium
in New York.
It was for the purpose Of giving an ac—
curate und interesting account of how
9,000 Chinamen spend $468,349.75 annu-
ally just for the pleasure of “hitting the
pipe,” that the Chinese reporter made a
thorough canvass of the various haunts of _
Chinatown.
There are at present about twenty-five
Chinese firms that deal in refined opium'
both wholesale and retail. There are
eleven private Chinese joints, where
opium is sold at $2.25 per ounce. These
joints do not now admit white smokers,
on account of the frequent raids made
upon them by the police, but the stores
sell to both Chinese and whites, although
the latter must be well known smokers.
Otherwise he has to suffer for the want of
opium—which, according to all accounts,
is even worse than to see “snakes.” Great
tears would gush out of his eyes, big
drops of prespiration constantly moisten
his brow, while his nostrils would act as .
if he owned a small sized fountain some-
where in his head. But the worst of all
the ailments is on excruciating pain all
over his backbone, as if he had been just
run through a fine clothes wringer. Under
such circumstances be we id almost be
willing to give half of his entire kingdom
to be able to “hit the pipe."
Six pills or pipes, about the size ofa
green pea, would restore him to his naural
condition of 'life, which would last him
for about as many hours. A regular
“fiend” will consume about an ounce per
day, which is $2.25.
The sensation while smoking is indeed
soothing. No matter how fatigued or op-
pressed in mind, a few whiffs of the pipe
would put a man in the best of social
spirits. It has strange medicinal proper-
ties, and is said to cure all kinds of fevers
and aguc, consumption and palpitation of
the heart. Most Chinamcn are driven to
it through business reverses and other
troubles, while not a few contracted the
habit through sociability, just as an
American would do on their “take a
drink” with a friend.
It takes just about the. same length of
time to get the opium habit as to get the
drinking habit. The latter destroys the
mind, and makes a man irresponsible for
his actions, while the former destroys the
body but makes a keen thinker of the
victim. It is estimated that there are
something over 1,000 Americans in the
city of New York who are now using
opium in the same manner and form as
the Chinese Most of these are said to
be well known and fashionable people, as
indeed no other but people of means and
of leisure could ever be able to contract
such a habit. . -
The opium dealing firms sell ffrom'two
to five cars per day, each can weighing
about four ounces. Most of the wholesale
orders come from towns and cities in and
3 around New York state, and only now and
then the native American customers from
up town come in to buy their supply. Say
they only sell an nTVcrage of three cans per
day. At wholesale rates, which is $8.35
per can for China imported goods, but
when retailed out by the fifty cents’ worth
at a time it would bring it up to about
310 to $11 per can. At $10, which is the
lowest possible price per can, sixty-six
cans amount to $660 per day, or $240,900
per year. '
There are eleven joints. The majority
of these import their own opium, said to
be direct from China, but the greaterpurt
of which comes from Victoria, 13. C. One
of these places, which is the best Chinese
joint in town, sells at retail on Sundays
alone from ten to twelve cans. while the
second best place sells from eight to ten
onus on Sundays. On an average these
joints dispose of five cansaday. These
places calculate to make from $2 to $3 on
each can Of Chinese imported opium, but
they are able to make more when they
mix the Victoria in with the pure. Thus
it can easily be seen how nearly $1,000,000
changes hands for opium each year.
According to Chinese San Francisco
papers they paid over $800,000 for custom
house duties for the Chinese year just
ended on opium alone-Wong Chin Foo

' The Decline of the Sailor.
Rather seVere criticisms on our navy
are appearing in the English journals.
officers as any, but say that What ships
we have are manned by Englishmen,
Irishmen, Germans, Scandinavians and
negroes. This is true in time of peace;
for first rate American sailor men can
make more than $21.50 a month ashore.
But once the signal of war comes, and the
promise of prize money and adventure,
and there would be little room for much
of the poor material now manning the
yards. The great fleet that Farragut led
past the Mississippi forts was manned
with Gloucester fishermen—men who, un-
like the average blue jacket, combine a
keen intelligence with strength and dar-
ing.
The day of the “square rigger” is gone
by, for the modern war ship has no sails,
and a quick hand at the gun sight and
block, tackle and gearing is more in de-
mand than one that can hand, reef, and
steer. Indeed, it is a curious study to
watch how, in the war ship of today, the
sailor is declining and the engineer and
machinist advancing. Perhaps in the
future the crew Of a. war ship will be com-
posed of three classes only—scientists, en-
gineers and coal beavers or oil.feeders.-v-

Babbits Versus Sheep Raising.
Americans have a dual reason for con‘
cern in the treatment of the rabbit pest in
Australia. Upon the abatement of the
pest depends in a very great degree the
sheep raising industry of that south sea
continent which plays such an important
part in the wool market of the world, and
what is the pest of Australia today may
threaten a large agricultural area in the
United States to-morrow. ‘
Some idea of how sheep raising in Aus-
tralia has been interrupted by the plague
of English rabbits maybe gained from the
following facts: At one station in Victoria,
which under skillful management pas-
tured 110,000 sheep, the incursion of rap-
bits reduced the stock to 1,200 sheep found
by the visitor { ‘dying inn paddock at the
homestead.” The rabbits had to account
for the deficiency, All that good manage-
ment, backed by abundant capital, could
do had been ineflectual to stay the progress
of the rabbits. They had eaten up and
destroyed all the grass and, herbage; they
had barked all the edible shrubs and
bushes, and had “latterly themselves be-
gun to perish in thousandsfl—Chicago
