The Oldest Postal System.

We find the first recorded postal sys-
tenn in the Persian Empire, under Cy-
rus the Elder; but it Is clear that Rome
of all the ancient States possessed the
best organized system Of transmitting
letters through its numerous provinces.
All along the great Roman roads
houses were erected at distance Of
five or six miles from each other. At
each of these stations forty horses
were constantly kept, and by the help
of the relays it was easy to travel 100
miles in day. These services were
intended for the State only, 1t being
imperative to secure the rapid inter-
change of official communications.
In the time Of Julius Caesar the sys-
tenn was so we'll organized that of two
letters the great soldier wrote from
Britain to Cicero at Rome, the one
reached it's destination IN twenty-six

Hardly of less historical interest
than the famous Liberty Bell of Phila-
delphia was the old clock bell which
announced the hour of July 4, 1776,
when the Declaration of Independence
was promulgated.
The bell had been used in earlier
days to call assemblages of the citi-
zens of the Quaker City, but after the
revolution it was lost.
Recently the Philadelphia Press dis
covered that the relic hal been de-
stroyed. 1t had been bought for Il
few hundred dollars by the Roman
Catholic church of st. Augustine for
it's steeple. The whole clock machin-
cry was bought, but the question is
vet unanswered rs to whether the dials
were sold or not. The church was
burned down in 1S44.
Several of the fremen collected from
the mass of bell metal. pieces broken
off by the fall of the tower aud carried
them,home rs souvenirs. Several of
the fire laddies had these moulded
into buckles of their organization, the
Humane Engine company, aud one OF
the men promises to bequeath to some
museum of revolutionary relics his
belt and buckle, so that the country
may have another remembrance of the
crowning point in our history.

Gold Mining In San Francisco.

For over seventeen years gold mine
has been worked right in the city OF
San Francisco, How much gold has
been taken out none but tho two min
ers themselves can say; one Of them is
supposed to be on his death-bed, and
the other one disappeared on the day
that his partner had to be taken to the
hospital, and the secret Of their mine
became generally known to the COM
munity.
Nelson Shoots, the discoyerer, Of the
lead, found the mine over seventeen
years ago, while trying to locate the
fountain of the gold-dust found along
the beach. He was practical miner
at the time, and we'll yersed in all the
secrets of getting all the gold possible
out of refractory ores.
That he succeeded in doing this In
his Ingleside mine there is no question.
For not only did he make good living
during the seventeen years, but he paid
$4,000 damages once for injuring the
Spring Valley Waterman while blast
ing; he and his partner lost large sums
OF money at the race tracks and they
were known as "spenders" among the
resorts in the western side of the city.
All the while they passed as hermits
with barely enough to live on.-San
Francisco Call.
