Captain R. E. Maddox, of the Tarrant
Rifles, returned to the city on yesterday
from the encampment at Houston, where
he was sent as the representative of his
splendidly equipped and thoroughly drill-
ed company. Captain Maddox is very
enthusiastic with reference to the un-
bounded hospitalities extended to the
visiting military by the citizens and the
citizen soldiery of Houston. The Cap-
tain grows eloquent in descanting upon
the delicate and flattering attentions
shown by the elegant and accomplished
ladies of the Bayou city, who vied with
each other in doing honor to the brave
volunteer organizations of the state which
had assembled in that beautiful city.
A military convention was held before
adjournment, and a series of resolutions
passed, asking the next legislature to
make an appropriation for an encamp-
ment of the citizen soldiery. Captain 4?r;lpDic-aliy or otherwise.
Maddox also states that Governor Hub-
bard has authorized the volunteer compa-
nies of Northern Texas to form a licw regi-
ment.

The merchants and business men on

The Tarrant Rifles, about thirty strong,

will display their proficiency in the drill.

brated the fiftieth ai'uversary of their mar-

It appears that those who tarry at this

Mr. Ellis, of Ellis & Huffman, will move
the building from the corner ot First and
Throckmorton streets to the lot east of his
residence, on First street, and will build a

First aud Throckmorton streets.
Some years ago a divine took for his
text: “The World, the Flesh and the
Devil, the Three Great Sins of Mankind.”
He said. “I shall dwell a short time upon
the world, touch slightly on the flesh, aud
hasten as fast as lean to the devil.”
He walked up to the counter of a busy
banker end interrupted him with the fol-
lowing horrid conundrum: “If the half
of June contains fifteen days, how many
days does the Fourth of July have?” The
answer is not knowp, a horizontal coat
tail, in front of a flying inkstand.
The grand Fourth of July barbecue will
be held at the bridge on the Clear Fork,
one mile south-west of Fort Worth, instead
of at Evans’grove. The bridge will be
free to all who will attend to hear the
speaking and to enjoy and partake of the
hospitality of the fanner's and citizens of
Tarrant county. The proprietors of the
bridge have generously donated the use ot
the bridge.
Three of our accomplished ladies, Mrs.
James Easley, Mrs. L. P- Haywood and
Miss Sue Dixon, left on the 6 o’clock train
yesterday morning for eastern Texas.
Mrs. Easley g: 's fo Jefferson to spend
some time among her kindred, and Mrs.
Haywood goes to see her parents in Har-
lison, and Miss Sue Dixon, who has been
out at Mr. Sandidge’s among her kin for
several months, returned home. We wish
them all a pleasant trip, the future enjoy-
ment of their visit, and a happy return.
The Dallas Herald of the 29th gives a
erv interesting statement of the killing
of John Jones by G . J. Garner, on White
Rock creek, six miles east of the city, on
Friday morning. Jones was a tenant of
Garner, and the difficulty arose about a
sboat belonging to Jones that had tres-
passed upon Garner’s premises. The
latter, who tells Ins own story, said that
he put the pig in a pen with his own as
pay for damages ; that Jones came up
armed and said he was ready for him. A
tight ensued, and Jones, after firing, was
cut in several places and killed by Gar-
ner. Garner, the Herald says, bears a
bad reputation with those who work with
him.
What use can the phonograph be put
to? is a question asked our reporter by
seo:es of citizens. If you fall out with
your wife or sweetheart, the instrument
could be put to practical use. You could
abuse each other during each other’s ab-
sence—this would be more polite and re-
spectable than fighting it out in the usual
way. If you want to make love to your
wife or sweetheart, the instrument could
also he utilized with satisfaction. You
can even inject kisses into the phonograph,
which, on turning the crank, will be pro-
jected like sky rockets. It is even asserted
that the phonographic kisses produce the
usual sensation ; bur, as to this, our re-
pot ter is not billy advised, having had no
practical experience in the matter, pliono-

This standard article is compound-
ed with the greatest care.
Its effects are as wonderful and as
satisfactory as ever.
It restores gray or faded hair to its
youthful color.
It removes all eruptions, itch ig
and dandruff. It gives the head a
cooling, soothing sensation of great
comfort, and the scalp by its use
becomes white and clean.
By its tonic properties it restores
the capillary glands to their normal
vigor, preventing baldness, and mak-
ing the hair grow thick and strong.
As a dressing, nothing has been
found so effectual or desirable.
A. A. Hayes, M.D., State Assayer
of Massachusetts, says, “The con-
stituents are pure, and carefully se-
lected for excellent qualit}*' ; and I
consider it the Best Preparation
for its intended purposes.”

This elegant preparation may be
relied on to change the color of the
beard from gray or any other undesir-
able shade, to brown or black, at dis-
cretion. It is easily applied, being in
one preparation, and quickly and ef-
fectually produces a permanent color,
which will neither rub nor wash off.

Historic Ground.
At the foot of Lookout mountain, near
Chattanooga, Tennessee, was fought many
a hard battle during the war. On that same
ground, nearly forty years ago, a victory
was gained more glorious than any gained
by our armies. A remedy was there discov-
ered for liver diseases that excited the won-
der of scientific men and physicians. Pure-
ly vegetable, it excelled in curative proper-
ties the mineral drugs, such as calomel, and
was as harmless to the system and almost as
pleasant to the taste as coffee. This world-
famous remedy is Dr. A. Q. Simmons’ Vege-
table Liver Medicine, manufactured bv M.
A. Thedford & Co., Chattanooga,Tennessee.
It is for sale by all druggists, who have also
some trial packages, which will be given to
all applicants free of charge. 6-7-dlm
