THE SrONEwALI. GREYs,
History Of Their Organization.

For several years the necessity for Il
military company has been felt In our
community. This demand was prompt.
ly answered in the early spring by the
formation of two military bodies, one
of which was the Stonewall Greys, the
subject of the present article.
Their first organization was perfect
ed on the first day of March, 1875. The
organization was promptly followed
by an election for officers. The cleo
ton resulted in the choice of L.. G.
Bower, rs Captain; Junius Peak, MS
First Lieutenant; Cliff Scott, Second
Lieutenant; w. NJ. Scott, Third Lieu
tenant.
The first appearance OF the Compa-
ny In public was on the occasion of the
reception of Jefferson Davis by the
people of Dallas. On that occasion in
company with the Lamar Rifles, the
"Grays" turned out to honor the brave
old chief, which one section of In.
country loved and the other respected.
They We're not at that time uniformed,
as they had decided to refer each mem.
ber's uniform to his own individual
expense, II plan which was fully car
ried out. After this ovation the
"Grays" were no more seen In public
except on occasions when their drills
took them on the streets.
On the 3Oth of last July all the OFF,
GERS resigned. election I'M
mediately took place, and Il. G. Bower
was reelected Captain; while Junius
Peak was chosen 10 his old POSITION of
First Lieutenant; J. G. Eblin was
elected Second Lieutenant, and Worth
Peak Third Lieutenant The company
drilled aud still continued to progress
under this organization till the 9Th of
August, when Mr.. Eblen resigned to
accept the captaincy of the Lamar
Rifles, at the head of which popular
lie still remains. On the
succeeding Sth of the same
month DIR. s. ID. Thruston
succeeded him, by election, to the DO. |
sition OF First Lieutenant. The above
officers, with John Scott as First Sar-
seant, constitute the present organisa.

smell, and on the darkest night man
can easily find his way to a lunch house
or restaurant. A good thing for those
who like the vegetable, but fearful
punishment for those who do not.
Yesterday morning, Mr. Wheelock
put an advertisement in the HERALD,
aotlfying the public that he sold
through tickets to Europe. Almost as
soon as he opened his office he sold II
ticket to Liverpool; aud yet some per-
ons say that advertising does not pay.
The sun shone brightly for little
while yesterday, and warmed the
sluggish blood in the bodies OF those
unf0rtunates who were not lucky
enough to possess an Overcoat. In the
afternoon pleasant rain began to
fall, and we can now reasonably calcu-
late on having pleasant weather for
some weeks to come.
During the late wind storm that
passed over Austin, large number Of
signs were torn from their fastenings
and hurled to the ground, some Of
them striking passers.by and inflicting
painful wounds. Dallas can boast Of
more signs to the square inch, hung
worse and lower down, than any city
Of Its size In the country. A good
strong wind would be as dangerous to
our citizens as the flood at Galveston.
In another column appears the
notice of Mr.. w. X. Wheelock to Eu-
ropean travellers, new evidence of
the prosperity of the city and energy
of her railroad men. BY reference to
the card we see the rate from Dallas to
London via New York Is only $l22, in
gold, and this includesfi rst-class fare,
both to New York and OH the ocean
steamer. The emmigrant fare is put
at the exceedingly low rate of SS4 to
Hamburg, Rotterdam or Havre, and
from these places to. Dallas the fare will
be $3.50 less. This Immigrant rate
includes tirst-class fare from New York
here, and vice versa. Mr. Wheelock
can be found at his Office on Austin
street, between Main and Elm, and
any information will be checriully
given to the travelling public.
Through some unknown inadver
tency portion of an article, which
appeared in yesterdays local column
relating to the difficulty between Mr.
&. w. Anderson and Garner, was lief,
out or lost. Mr.. Anderson has resided
in Dallas for some time and has al
ways borne the well-deserved reputa
ton of being n quiet, orderly gentle
man, and one who would not willingl,
seek difficulty. This one woulc
have been possibly avoided, but Mr.
Anderson could not stand idly by II
his own Office and hear his old frieut
Judge Burford villilied and abused il
the manner that he was. While Mr.
Anderson regrets the occurrence, h.
feels he might, under the same cir
cumstances, take the law in his owl
hands again, and IL he did WIS feel rs
sured that no one would condemn
HIM.

thought / had sent him the dirt
In both boxes from the new field 80 as
to fool him. I made no denial, but
furnished him a mar to 60 with him
ang get the dirt. BE made this analy-
sis. and then came out, asked my par
don. and told me hat both analyses re-
suited so neal the same that the min
eral substances or plant food were
about the same In each field. He then
told me he had wrote and talked that
theory for years, and this was the first
time he had ever made a test, and that
the science he had depended on had
failed to come to time. laughed, but
he says this Is no laughing matter, for
l have taught this doctrine because I
believed it was so, and if you know why
1t has failed l want you, as a friend, to
tell me. I told him / was raisedin the
woods, where there were nosehools; the
principal information had was gained
while following the pillow. told him l
thought I knew what caused the diff
ference in the yield, but that I
was not certain. 1 had noticed that In
dry seasons the yield of the old field
was good. l had also noticed that after
I plOwed sand subsoiled the
old field if there came a
heavy rain, that in a few days
the ground would be run together and
be as hard and compact as though it
had never had a pillow run through it.
This had brought me to the conclusion
that 1t wa not a mineral substance OF
plant food that was wanting. But that
it lacks a mechanical mixture to keep
the ground loose, and prevent the clay
from cementing together. 1 told him l
intended to make the experiment the
next season that would not fail to de-
monstrate to a certainty, whether l was
correct IN my theory. Now, Gr. Editor,
it is nearly thirty years since this took
place. l then wrote a full description
of this transaction, and it was publish
ed. But In those days it was lookedupon
as book farming, and read by but few.
l have no copy and write from recol-
lection, and if 1 do say it myself, my
memory Of past events is yet pretty
clear. / feel a little soured at a GER
tam writer who has nothing but theory
to guide him when In his editorials, In
his agricultural paper. he aims to
make fun of the farmer who wishes to
gain all the information he can on hat
subject by experiments, science or
otherwise. 1 confess that it cut me to
the core, and by your permission 1 will
continue to give you a few sledge-
hammer knocks, touching on this
point, for some time TO come. In my
next 1 will take up this subject where
1 left off, giving the experiment that I
said 1 would make to prove the cor
rectness of the position 1 took.

DE-. sehenck,s Standard Remedies.

DEs SCnCuChS SEAuuhEN hCDAGuACaa
The standard remedies for all diseases Of the
lungs are SCHENCR's PULHOSIC SYRUP,
SCHESCK's SEA WEED Tonic, and ~SCHENCK's
MANDRAKE PILLS, and, il taken before the
lungs are destroyed, a speedy cure is effected.
To these three medicines DR.. j. H. Schenck,
OF Philadelphia, owes his unrtvalled success in
the treatment of pulmonary diseases.
The PulmOnic Syrup ripens the morbid mat
ter in the lungs; nature throws it OF by an easy
eTpectOratiOn, for when the phlegm OF matter is
ripe, a slight cough viii throw it OF, the patient
has rest, and the lungs begin to heal.
10 enable the ulmOnic Syrup to do this,
Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills
act on the liver, removing all distractions, re-
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and
the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimu-
liant and Alternative; the alkali Of which II is
composed mixes with the food and prevents
sOuring. Il assists the digestion by tOning up the
stomach TO a healthy condition, 50 that the food
and the PulmOnic Syrup will make good blood;
then the lungs heal, and the patient will surely
get well if care is taken to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck, either
personally or by letter, can do 50 at his princi-
pal Office, corner of Sixth and Arch streets,
Philadelphia, every Monday.
Schenck's medicines are sold by all druggists
throughout the country.

IHE FLY.

The following treatment Of tobacco
plant beds comes highly recommended
from Virginia: Saturate a handful of
rags with coal oil and place them in the
bottom Of a bucket to be filed with
land plaster. This is soon saturated
with the odor Of the oil which is scat
tered over the tobacco plants infested
by the fly. The plaster acts as a fer
tilizer as well as to drive off the in
sects.
