The Title of "StonewaII Brigade.

Whatever the discussion, and it is still
going on, about the exact way in which
Jackson got the name of ''StoneWall, y
there is no doubt that it was officially rec
ognized by the Confederate government.
The following is the special order giving
it to his brigade:
ADJT, AND INsP. GENERALS OFFICE,
RICHMOND, VA, May 30, 1868.
SPECIAL ORDER NO. 129.
XVIII The following resolution from the
t officers and soldiers of the brigade formerly
commanded by Lieut.-Gen. Thomas J. Jack
son, has been submitted to the Secretary OF
War:
Resogyed, "That in accordance with General
Jackson's wish and the desire of the brigade
to honor its first great commander, the Secre-
| tary of War be requested to order that it be
known and designated as the "Stonewall
Brigade" that in thus formally adopting a
title which is inseparably connected with his
| name and fame, we will strive to render our
selves more worthy Of it by emulating his
virtues and, like him, devote al our energies
| to the great work before us of securing to CUR
| beloved country the blessings of peace and
independence"
XIX. The Department cheerfully aequies-
ces in the wish thus expressed and directs
that the Brigade referred to hereafter be des-
ignated as the ''SToNEwALL BRIGADE" II
commends the spirit which prompted the re-
guest and trusts that the zeal and devotion,
the patience and courage Of the fallen hero,
whose name and title his earlier eompaEiols
in arms desire so appropriately to honor and
preserve may attend and animate not only
the ''Stonewall," but each brigade and every
soldier in the armies Of the South now strug-
Cling to drive back from their borders an
implacable and barbarous invader,
I3y command of the Secretary of War.

FUTURE OF ALUMINIUM.
Roofs for Houses and Hulls for Vessels
 Sure to Bc Made of It.


 Sure to Bc Made of 1t.
 Aluminium, which itself possesses a high degree of specific heat, does not really absorb heat itself, and thus is not liable to the chief objection to iron buildings in hot countries. -B6t apart from light decorative purposes, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, such as balconies, cupolas, finials and veran' das, it is as roofing material that aluminium should be most welcome to the builder. In plates or scales, two. thirds lighter than copper, uncorroded by air and undimmcd even by the sul- phur of London smoke, it should make a roof fit for palace of romance.
 The humber elements of health and comfort in the house hardly less im- portant than its external defcnses against the weather-pipes, cisterns, taps and gutters, now made of iron which rusts, or lead which poisons- would be moro enduring and far moro healthy if made of this light and clean ly metal, which might also take the place of all water-holding vessels now made of heavy, brittle earthenware or painted tin. An aluminium bath is among the probable luxuries of the next century. But it is not as mere accessory to comfort and convenience that real development of the new metal should lie. It is for use at sea that it's most marked quality of light. ness obviously fits it.
 The marine engineer and the naval architect, who are already looking in this direction for reduction of the weight which is inseparable from loss of efficacy. whether ill speed or cargo. cannot neglect the possibilities of a metal, which, when mixed in the pro- portion of one to fifty, gives to alum inum-bronze a hardness and tough ness which makes it almost as reliable as steel, and which, if the proportions could be reversed and the strength pre- served, would reduce the weight of ships and machinery alike by two thirds. That is a problem which awaits the rnctallurgist for solution. The reduction in cost, judging by an alogy, can only be question of time and research.
 The best steel now costs little more than one-half penny per. pound. while aluminium is fifty times that price. But aluminium exists in far greater quantities than iron, is more widely distributed, and neither the limits of time nor the history of rnetallurgy for bid us to conjecture that, as the world has seen it's age of stone, it's age of bronze and it's age of iron, so it may before long have embarked on a new and even more prosperous age of alum inum

SIGNING THE DECLARATION.
Flies Pestered the Fathers of the Repub-
 lie as They Created It.

Flies Pestered the Fathers of the Repub-
 lie as They Created 1t.
 Jefferson was fond of telling story which illustrates in forcible manner the importance that absurdly insignifi- cant matters may sometimes assume, says the Philadelphia Press When the deliberative body that gave the world the declaration of independence was in session it's proceedings were conducted in a hall close to which was situated a livery stable. The weather was warm, and from the stable came swarms of flies that lighted on the legs of the honorable members and, biting through the thin silk stockings then in fashion, gave infinite annoyance. It was no uncommon sight, said Jeffer- son, to see member making a speech with large handkerchief in hand and pausing at every moment to thrash the flies from his thinly-protected calves. The opinion of the body was not unan- imous in favor of the document, and under other circumstances discussion might have been protracted for days, if not weeks, but the flies were intoler- able. Efforts were made to find another hall, free from the pests, but in vain. As the weather became warmer the flies grew worse, and the Tapping of handkerchiefs was heard all over the hall as an accompaniment to the voices of the speakers. In de- spair at last some one suggested that matters be hurried so that the body might adjourn and get away from the flies. There were few mild protests, but no one needed them, the immortal declaration was hurriedly copied and, with handkerchiefs in hand fighting flies as they came, the members hast ened up to the table to sign the authentic copy and leave the flies in the lurch. Had it not been for the liv- cry stable and its inmates there is no telling when the document would have been completed, but it certainly would not have been signed on the Fourth.

THE OYSTERS ENEMY.
Great Destruction is the Delaware Bay
 Beds by the " Dorer.'


 Beds by the Borer."
 The ''borer.' pest about the size of small strawberry, is working great havoc among the oyster beds in Della ware bay and tributary streams, says the Philadelphia Ledger.
 Capt. Moses Veale, of the oyster schooner White Lily, says that the de- structive powers of the ''borer' have beer known to oystermen only a few years. He had followed oyster digging for nearly thirty-five years, and the first ''borer' he saw was about ten years ago, but their ravages in the oys- ter beds were comparatively unnoticed until last year.
 Capt. Vale said that Hast year the number ( dead oysters with holes made by bore IS in the shell became so great that '.ystermen were alarmed. This year che work of the borers has become a :trave matter, and if it continues r.any bays will be depopulated of oys- cers. From one bed we dredged on this trip we got twelve hundred baskets of oysters, but out of these only two hun dred were good, the dead oysters hay ing been killed by borers. A peculiar thing about the ravages of the 'borers' is their apparent selection of the best oyster beds. We have found this to be true several times this season. We have found bed of small oysters al- most entirely free from 'borers.' This bed will be separated from another bed of larger oysters by two hundred IaA lol l1oe I<>J affected by the creatures that it will hardly pay to work it.
 'Trom what I can learn from oyster men the destruction wrought by borers is much more severe in Delaware bay than in other places.
 ''The work of the borer this year makes a double misfortune, for the oyster beds were badly damaged by the big storm in August and September. Very few people who are hot in the oyster dredging business know any thing of the methods of the borer. When first took notice of it's work secured several oysters just after the borer had fastened itself to the shell. When the borer fastcns itself it holds on like a lcech, and it is with difficulty that it can be removed with the 6ngers.
 ''Sometimes the borer fastens itself to the oyster shell near the edge and then the oyster is not killed. When the hole of the borer is made near the center of the shell the oyster is att tackled in it's vital parts and dies in three CT four days after the hole is first made"
 Some of the bed-owners near Maurice river have lost large sums of money this year on account of the borer. All oystermen say there can be no way of taking away the borer without de stroying the oyster beds.
