James Root of Hartford has offered to the
union for home work a lot of land il Cleve
land, Ohio; valued at $4,000, on condition
that the union take charge of the coffee
house on Market street, and that the gift
can be realized only at the death of the
donor. AS number of the citizens have
agreed to make up any deficiency that the
adoption OF the coffee house may involve,
the offer will probably be accepted.
The long pending controversy between
Chilli and Bolivia has been adjusted by a
protocol, signed in Lucre, Bolivia. Bolivia
remains mistress of the disputed territory
between the sd and 18th parallels, as well
on the coast as inland. Thus the rich mines
of Carocoles. which yield the government
upwards of 100000 yearly only In export
duty, continue in the hands of Bolivia. Chill
is to be paid an indemnity for giving up her
claim, the sum to be fixed by arbitration.
The Rev. Philips Brooks. of Boston, is de-
scribed as bachelor, very large in stature,
and 'lxillingly" handsome. which accounts
for his popularity with the ladies, and is,
moreover, a man offineintellect and rare gifts
ofpulpit orasory. 1t is hardly necessary to
add that he has always been an object of
deep interest to the young ladies in his par
ish; it was he who said, exhibiting to Wis

THE B1voUAc OF THE DEAD.
0# COL. THEODORE o'HARA.


The muffied drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on LIES parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with solemn rouno,
The bivouac OF the dead.
No rumor of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind,
Notroubled thought at midnight haunts
OF loved ones left behind;
No vision of the morrow s striIe
The warriors dread alarms,
No braying horn nor screaming ME
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, trailed ID aust,
Is now their martial shroud-
And pIenteous funeral tears have WaSneo
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, by battle gasned'
Are free from anguish now,
The neighing troop, the flashing blade,
The bugle's stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout are passed
Nor wars wild note, nor glory s peal,
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that never more may feel
The rapture of the fight.
Like the fierce Northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Came down the serried foe
Who heard the thunder of the fray
Breax DER the field beneath,
Knew well the watchword of that day
Was victory or death.
Full many mothers breath has swept
Ger Angostura's plain.
And long the plying sky has We Pt
Above its mOulderd slain.
The ravens scream or eagles hlgnt,
or shepherds pensive lay,
Alone now wake eacn solemn nelSnb
That frowned Ger that dread ray.
Sons of the Dark and Bloody Groundl
Ye must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues resound
Along the needless air;
Your own proud lands heroic soil
Shall be your litter grave;
She claims from war its richest spoil
The ashes Of her brave.
Thus, meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field,
Borne to a Spartan mothers breast
On many bloody shield.
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The heroes sepHlchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead!
Dear as the blood We gave.
No impious footstep here shall tread
The heritage Of yonr grave,
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Yalor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's voiceless stone,
In deathlesS song shall tell,
When many vanished year hath flown,
The story how ye fell;
Nor times remorseless doom,
Can dim one ray OF holy light
That gilds our glorious tomb.

think that was the play;
The house was packed from pit to dome
With the gallant and the gay,
Who had come to see the tragedy,
And while the hours away.
There was the ruined spsndthrift,
And beauty in her prime;
There was the grave historian,
And there was the man OF rhyme,
And the surly critic, front to front,
To see the play OF crime;
And there was the pompous ignorance,
And vice In flowers and lace;
Sir Crcesus and Sir Pandarus,
And the music played apace.
But of all the crowd 1 only saw
single, single face!
That of a girl whom had known
In the summers long ago.
When her breath was like the new-mown hay
Or the sweetest flowers that grow;
When her heart was light and her soul wa
AS the winters driven snow.
And there she.sat with her great brown eyes,
They wore a troubled look;
And 1 read the history of her life
AS it were an open book;
And saw her soul. like Shiny thing
In the bottom OF brook.
There she sat In her rustling silk,
WITH diamonds on her wrist,
And on her brow cleaning thread
OF pearl and amethyst.
IA cheat, gilded grief!" said,
And my eyes were nlled with mist.
could not see the players play;
heard the music moan;
1t moaned like a dismal autumn wind
That dies in the woods alone;
And when IL stopped heard it still
The mournful monotone!
What If the count were true false?
L did not care, not /;
What If Camille for Armand died?
L did not see her die.
There sat woman opposite
With piteous lip and eye!
The great green curtain fell on all,
On laugh, and wine, and woe,
Just as death some day will fall
'Twixt us and life know;
The play was done, the bitter play,
The people turned TO go.
And did they see the tragedy?
They saw the painted scene;
They saw Armand, poor jealous fool,
And the sick Partisan queen;
But they die not see the tragedy
The one saw, mean!
They did not see that cold-cut face,
That furtive look of care;
Or, seeing her jewels, only said,
''The lady's rich and fair"
But tell you, twas the Play of Life,
And that woman played Despair!

Last year, according to statistics, its
bullion product equalled that OF all the
other gold aud silver producing States
and Territories in the Union combined.
But its mineral resources are not oon-
fined TO gold and silver ore alone, but
embrace almost every metal known In
the arts, together with extensive beds

salt beds Of Churchill and the boraI

on the Costumes river, by shooting him

Capt. Thurston was well known and re-
spected by all the old settlers, more e.
pecially in the neighborhood Of McCon-

to II for o long time, until II gradually
assumed an alarming size, but with
scarcely any pain. Finally he consulted
several Of the best surgeons ON the
Coast, and subsequently, went East to
consult with surgeons in that section.
There was q diversity OF opinion a. to
