BRIGAD
II would like to hear your story of how
Jackson got the name 'Stonewall, said the
reporter.
The Stonewall brigade arrived at Ma
nassas Junction late i'll the evening of July
20, 1861, replied the Doctor. 1--WE got
there after dark, camped along side the
road, and next morning at daylight started
to march in the direction Of the sound of
the firing. When Jackson and his brigade
arrived very near the field OF battle he met
Bee IS brigade coming back in great disor-
der. The men had evidently been badly
whipped. Jackson carried his men on
through these disorganized troops and
formed it i'll line of battle upon the hill.
He had been there but a few minutes when
4 violent attack was made upon him by the
Federals. Bee, in encouraging his troops
to reform and go back to the battle field,
cried out: There stands Jackson like a
stone wall-rally behind the Virginians
This is the way The name Stonewall origi-
mated.
jackson always insisted, in talking to
me, that the name belonged to the brigade
and not to him.
AFTER he was wounded at Chancellors-
vile, and when [ spoke to him of the death
Of Paxton, and its remarkable behavior on
the field tile day before, he said: The men
who belonged to that brigade will some day

Mustered Out,

Jos. p. Swearingen was born Feb
ruary Is 1885, near Bloomington Ind
lana, and died at his residence i'm this
city May %, 1891 after great suffering
extending over a period of more than
fourteen years, during the last three
of which he has been almost entirely
helpless and dependent.
Few men have been called to en-
dure more-few men have complained
less of the the thorny path of life. 1t
seemed fitting that his transfer should
occur OH tine anniversary so dear,
amidst flowers so profuse and espec-
tally fitting that his comrades of Nc
Cook Post &. A. r. should lay him
gently and tenderly to rest as the con-
Guiding exercise of Decoration Day.
The following is brief history of
his military service. At the close of
his three month service he enlisted
i'm the ninth Battery of the md Regi-
ment of Indiana Light Artillery Dec
ember 5, 1861, was promoted from
Cannonier to Serg't commanding 4th
piece February Is, 1862, discharged
February Is, 1865 with his command
at indianapolis Ind.
By his gallant and fearless dis
charge of duty he contributed to the
results of Donelson, Shiloh, Pea
Ridge, Corinth and Vicksburg. He
was with A. J. Smith on the Red Riv-
er campaign and with Sherman on
the Meridian.
His life among US has been exem-
plary, and his years of intense physi-
cal pain not unmixed with bright
hopes built upon a firm aud abiding
faith in the goodness and mercy of
God. He died as he had been reared,
in the faith as taught by the United
Presbyterians.
He leaves, to mourn his loss, a wife
whose tender care and unremitting
watchfulness doubtless prolonged his
life many days if not years beyond
the limititwould otherwise have reach
ed, and two bright and handsome chill
dren, a boy and a girl. The sympa-
thy of the entire community is ex-
tended to them. H. NJ. NJ.

The Triumph of science

There seems to be no longer room for
any doubt of the complete success of
Prof. Shows plan for exterminating
the chinch bugs. Mr.. T.. G.. Hickey,
of Lawrence, was sent down to Chau-
taqua county, to investigate the re-
suits of the experiments being carried
on in the fields there and he reports
that in nine fields visited he found the
bugs dead or dying from the infection
in spite of the unfavorable weather. A
last years corn field that was cleared
of bugs by the disease, and is this year
in wheat, shows no traces of bugs,
while adjoining fields are not by any
means free from the insects. One
farmer kept dead bugs through the
winter and placing few in the fields
this spring the disease Immediately
spread throughout the entire field. In
fields infected the bugs are sick and
dying, while just across the road In
unaffected fields the bugs are lively
and healthy.
Similar reports come from other
parts of the State, so that there re-
mains scarcely doubt, as stated in
the beginning, Of the entire success Of

Of open prairie in this section of the country had
been fenced We can remember very distinct.
ly, when as a brOwn-faced, bare-fOOted child
we roamed the prairies in search of flowers We
found them of almost every kind and color. But
now great many varieties have either nearly
or entirely disappeared. Some were cut down
by the mower before seed time, others were de-
stroyed by stock, so they are to be seen no more
on our prairies. We can remember when, as
far as the eye could reach there was nothing to
be seen but erich prairies, like sun-lit oceans
rolling affair."" and when drOves of deer were
not an uncommon sight. But all this is rapid
ly changing-the prairies are being broken up
and sown to grain or tame grass. or course it
is sign Of progress and prosperity, but we
shall wish many time for the praIries. This
reminds us that We have noticed that the wild
flowers are richer in color and largerin size this
year than they have been for several years.
