THE BIvOUAC OF THE DEAD.

The muffied drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo!
No more on life's 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 dream alarms,
No braying horn or screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted deadl
Dear as the blood ye gave,
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The herbage of your grave.
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Valor 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 wrench, nor change, nor winters
fight
Nor Times remorseless doom,
Can dim one ray Of holy light
That gllds your glorious tomb.
-Theodare O'Hara.

Puerta del Sol, "Gate of the Sun, !"
of splendid orange red color, its
four horseshoe arches set one be-
hind the other, richly embossed
with tracery. 1t is the best pre-
served monument of its class in the
peninsula, and indeed the finest of
its epoch in the world; for the de-
fensive works of the Saracen, des-
pite their solidity, have suffered
so much from the caprice of kings
and the cannon of besieging armies
that perfect one is rarely to be
seen. The portcullis, studded with
bolts and spikes, still hangs by its
rusty chains, though the draw
bridge disappeared some centuries
ago, and the moat. excavated with
infinite labor in the living. rock,
has been partially filled up: A few
guards in ragged uniforms, charged
with the collection of municipal
duties, lounge about the gateway,
and a few female heads, in disha-
billie, thrust out of adjacent Win
dows as the omnibus rattles by, are
the only signs of life.
A little further on you encounter
another gateway, and then plunge
into streets so narrow, stony and
torturous that you cannot believe
they are streets at all, but mere
accidental riffs in the rock, or fs-
sures worn by mountain streams
rushing down to the Tagus. Of
course if on foot, you are lost in
no time amid the intricate tangle
of alleys, and only find yourself
again by securing the services of a
guide. The narrowness and irreg-
ularity of the streets was inten-
tional on the part Of the builders
to render them easy to defend when
attacked.
Nothing in this old, old town
was the result of accident. 1t was
not run up in a hurry to please
kings caprice, but was built as
the rock upon which it stands, and
designed to endure forever. Ones
first and strongest impression of
Toledo is that of extreme massive
ness. The whole city is like one
great fortress, and in wandering
through its crooked alleys you feel
as if exploring the defenses ofsome
mighty baronial castle.
Few of the houses have any win
dows on the lower floors. Those
that exist are heavily barred, with
posterns, portcullises and iron
gratings, their wood work protect
ed by chiseled nails of copper, six
inches in diameter, thickly driven.
Loop-holes, embrasures and salient
angles command the streets and
the parapets are edged with bat

Rural Mail Delivery.

Rural Mail Delivery.
Postmaster j. M. Jarboe recently
received from the Post Office De-
partment letter stating that the
Department contemplated issuing
an advertisement next September in
viting proposals to carry the mails

a period of four years, beginning on
July l, 1901. 1t is proposed to in,

box delivery service would be as
follows:
Any person living on or near the
route who desires his mail deposited

veniently as practicable by the car
rier, and such person shall file with

carrier on the route for deposit in
said mail box, at the risk of the ad-
dressee.

master at every such post office,

son living on or near the Star
Route, to deliver to the proper mail
carrier for that route any mail mat
ter, except registered mail, with
instructions as to the proprer mail
box into which SAID mail matter
shall be deposited; but no mail mat
ter so delivered to carrier for de-
posit shall be carried past another
post office on the route before being
deposited in mail box.

diate post office, upon receiving
from the way pouch on any trip the
packages of mail addressed to this
office, will Immediately sort out

tween his office and the next office
at which the carrier will arrive, and

The mail carriers must be of good
moral character, able to read and
write the English language, and be
of sufficient intelligence to properly
handle and deposit the mail for
boxes along the routes.
The law provides that every car
rier of the mail shall receive anv
mail matter presented to him, if
properly prepaid by stamps, and
deliver the same for mailing at the
next post office at which he arrives,
but no fees shall be allowed him
therefor

service required of the carrier that
is indicated herein.

night, he being found dead Tuesday morn.
ing in the loft of barn on the premises OF
Charles W. Gibson, a merchant at Clarks
burg, by John Green, colored farmland
1t seems that Young was in an intoxi
Gated condition and walked up the road to
William Windsor's store. On account o
his condition he was told by Deputy Franz
Gibson to go away
1t appears that after q while James H
Hawkins, who was sitting on the store
porch, said, with an oath, "you ought to be-
whipped away from here" Young retail
lated with several oaths, when Hawkins,
with cane or hickory club In his hand, re.
piled to Young, who was still cursing, that
be would kill him, at the same time strik-
ing at Young, who was then on the porch.
Part of the cane struck him on the. head
and brushed Judge Charles r. Murphy,
who was near. He then followed with a
blow with his fist and q crashing one on
the back of the head on the lett side, which
felled Young, rendering him unconscious
for four or five minutes. Hawkins then
jumped on him and kicked him unmerci :
fully with both feet in the sides and stom-
ach and would have jumped on his head
but for the interference of bystander.
Monday a warrant was sworn out by Jus
tice Dronenberg against both men and the
trial took place in Clarksburg, resulting In
Hawkins being held in 5000 bail for ap.
pearance before the grand jury in Novem-
Der next. His brother, Benjamin Haw-
kins, gave bail for him. After the finding
of the dead body of Young on Tuesday
morning, coroner's jury was summoned,
with Charles s. Hilton as foreman.
The finding of the coroner's jury was that
"the death Of John A. Young was caused
bya blow or blows from club 10 the
hands of certain James II. Hawkins"
States Attorney Talbot then imme
