last night on the boycotting of the
north suggested by the Atlanta Con-

a law, Gays eft would not only be
folly, but criminal folly, to attempt
such project. 1t would injure us

business man in Dallas seen on the
subject, with one exception, shares
this view.

DUDE SOLDIERS.

The semi-mutiny of the Grenadier
Guards and the subsequent shipment
of this pet corps of guardians of the
Royal Family to foreign parts has
invoked a vast amount of gush, and
it is possible that considerable sympa-
thy has been wasted. The Grenadiers
are going to pleasant quarters and
they are going to do precisely the sor.
of duty that thousand of their fellow
soldiers have always performed cheer
fully without any idea of being abused,
or exiled. As soon as it was learned
that the regiment was to be sent on
foreign service good share of the Off
GERS promptly sentin their designations.
The London journals announced,
with something bordering on surprise,
that these designations were not &C.
cepted. These popinjay officers set
splendid example to the men by try.
ing to sneak out of a foreign service
in that fashion The regiment hav.
ing been ordered away We are RECALLED
with long and thrilling stories of how
brave men wept like children. There
were no laggards, according to the
authentic reports of the press, but the
tear-stained faces were turned reso-
lutely towards the west and the men
went off to their punishment with the
stoicism of heroes. In point of fact,
they went of to easy service and their
punishment is a good deal in the
nature of an excursion.
The Grenadiar guards are not the
heroes of q generation ago who bore
the same name, but they are the most
pronouncedly foppish lot of queer
military dandies in England. They
are the wasp-waisted, long-legged
lovers of the nurses, maids and serv-
ants in London, who are always pi,t-
ured with padded chests, arms
a-kimbo and little caps perched OH
the side Of their heads. They are
notorious lot of pests among the serv-
ants of that particular quarter of the
city where the barracks are located,
and they are less useful to the gov
eminent than any other section of
the army. Nearly all of the officers
are overdressed military fops,
who have been placed in the house.
