written the whole of Senator Jones' first
speech on the currency question. 1t con-
tanned 1896 words, and the transcript OF It
was written with the finest pen made.
The writing is Iegible to the naked eye.
On The reverse side of the card is
seal Of the STATE of Nevada, the monogram
of Senator Jones, and the words: "Compli-
ments of J. p. Jones" all executed with
pen. 1t Is intended IS a present to the
president. Mr.. Bamberger asserts his abil-
ity to write the constitution of the United
States on piece ofpaper the size Of five
cent piece.
There is probability that the Rev. Rob-
ert ColIyer will accept the call of the Church
of the Messiah in New York. The Chicago
Tribune saws that he has lost none of his in
terest in his church in that city, for which
he has done so much, but that he feels that,
after having been there sixteen years, and
preached to his congregation nearly every
Sunday, he may be something like an old
story, and that his sermons may be
no longer so grateful to the people and may
not accomplish so much as they would else
where. The large salary $50 900 per annum)
offered him here would have no influence on
his decision indeed, he says, that II he &C
cepted the call he would make it a condition
that the church should not pay him so large
salary to begin with, as ne does not think
the congregation are in position to afford
it, the church having passed through some
vicissitudes of late years.

THE BIvoUAC OF THE DEAD.
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 round,
The bivouac of the dead.
No rumor of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind,
No troubled thought at midnight haunts
OF loved ones left behind;
No vision of the morrow's strife
The warriors dread alarms,
No braying horn nor screaming fife
AT dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed,
Their naughty banner, traiied in dust,
Is now their martial shroud-
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, by battle gashed,
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,
Flushed with the triumph yet 10 gain
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 Angosturas plain.
And long the plying sky has wept
Above Its moulderd slain.
The ravens scream or eagles flight,
Or shepherds pensive lay,
Alone now wake each solemn height
Tnat frowned DER that dread fray.
Sons of the Dark and Bloody Ground,
1e 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 wer its richest spoil
The ashes of her brave.
Thus, meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field,
Borne to Spartan mothers breast
On many bloody shield.
The sunshine of their native SKI
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The heroes sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted deadi
Dear as the blood ye gave.
NO lmpl0us f00tstep here shall tread
The heritage of yonr grave,
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spet
Where Naior proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's volceless stone,
In deathless song shall tell,
When many a vanished year hath flown,
The story how We fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters blight
MOI times remorseless doom,
Can dim one ray of holy light
That gilds our glorious tomb.

LA DAME AUX cAMELIAs.
BY r.B. ALpR1cn.

think that was the play; ra
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 Croesus and Sir Pandarus,
And the music play ed apace.
But of all the crowd only saw
A 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 read the history of her life
AS 1t 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 Unread
OF pearl and amethyst.
{" A cheat, gilded griefi' said,
And my eyes were filled with mist.

/ heard the music moan;
1t moaned like dismal autumn wind
That dies in the woods alone;
And when ii stopped heard il still
The mournful monotone.
What If the count were true or false?
did not care, not /;
What il Camille for Armand died?
did not see her die.
There sat woman opposite
With p.teous lip and eye!
The great greer curtain fell on all,
On laugh, and wine, and woe,
Just as death some day will fall
'Twixt Us and life, l 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, meant
They did not see that cold-cu face,
That furtive look of care;
Or, seeing her jewels, only said,
''The lady rich and fair"
But tell you, twas the Play of Life,
And that woman played Despair!
