Land Commissioner Walsh is in IA
vor of selling the school lands to ac-
tual settlers where they want them to
live on as their permanent homes; and
leasing the rest of the land, after CIV

A Battle Scene

Thursday was most beautiful day;
just such day as the historian OF a
hard fought sanguinary battle de-
lights to weave about his history.
Nothing casts such a gloom over the
grand pageantry of war as the absence
of old Sol. Such day was yesterday.
The perfume of spring; the thrilling
notes of songsters in budding trees;
the gentle zephyrs in soft undulations
from the south-just the day for all
the glorious pomp and pageantry of
war;" Yesterday civil war broke
out among the subjects OF king cot
ton, and one of the most thrilling bat
tie scenes ever recorded in all the
grand triumphs of Texas armeS was
fought. General Killough commanded
the attacking forces and General An
derson, with his forces, held the fort
against the invaders. The causes
which led to this bloody appeal to
war-as near as it Is possible for the
historian, at this early day to under
stand them are these: A foreign power
by the name of Gaus had purchased
| through KillOuRh number of bales OF
cotton at Oh cents, and contract
was made on the part of Anderson tC
bdho Iucu do GIlO puACAooO Pi1SO anu a.
the purchase weights. Gen. Killougt
was deputized to see that the cotto1
was delivered and to furnish the
weights. These weights were giveI
and the Anderson party suggested
that the Killough party had raised thu
| weights. To this Gen. Killough at Onct
took exceptions and declared battl'
on the spot. Gen. Anderson was moi
expecting so decided movement
on the part of the enemy, but h
drew up his troops as best he coult
and received the enemy's fire. Gen
Killough slid out one of his dainty fist
and the Anderson party went to grass
Gen. Killough then ordered retreat
and vacated the Office of Gen. AndeT
son, and drew up in line of battle out
side. Gen. Anderson moved on to tn
enemy, and Gen. Killough dropped an
other against the nose of Anderson
and he went to grass again. This wa
followed by some further skirmishinG
and the attacking forces marched u
Congress Avenue to surrender to tn
sheriff.

OYSTER BAY, QUEENS COUNTY,

OYSTER BAY, QUEENS COUNTY,
NEW YORK, April II, 1884.
1 believe 1 have been prevented
from a terrible illness by Alcock's
Porous Plasters.
About month ago 1 was attacked
with a violent pain in my chest, &C
companied by fever and great difficult
ty in breathing. 1 apprehended pneu-
monia, which is so prevalent at pres
emit. 1 went to bed and applied one
Allcock's Plaster between my Shout
der blades and two on my chest. In
an hour my breathing was much
easier, in two hours the pain had left
me, and the next morning 1 awoke
perfectly free from fever. 1 went
about my business as usual, aud at
the end of a week took the plasters
off.
For the last ten years Allcock's
Plasters have been used by my family
with the best effect in colds, coughs
and pain in the side and back.
