10 port lamps CLEAN along our sides,
No banners Goat on high;
No human lookout raises glass
To scan our sea o. sky.
No admirals above our decks
Mid guns and gunners stand,
In hidden sheath to send the sound
OF warlike. stern command.
Yet all the navies OF the world
Our bows in vain assail;
We fear no smoking battle tower
That thunders through the gale.
BY captains gray our path is marked,
BY sailors whIte and old;
For us the phantom rockets glare,
And phantom bells are tollod.
In misty, unremembered ports
Our beacon lights were set
BY hands long gone from mortal view,
BY forms that men forget.
And we may wander on our course
Till time at end shall be,
For in our breasts or locked the hulls
OF ships on lost at sea.

COURTLAND
The Mystery Still Unsolved-Professor
 Woods Queer Experience

Courtland, October 1S-(Special) 1.-The robbery of the post office and store of San derson Brothers at Town Creek continues to be as great a mystery as ever. The robbers entered the blacksmith shop of :. S. Smith and took a chisel, a brace, four or five bits and monkey wrench. With the chisel they prized the door of Sander sons store open. With a large monkey wrench the handle of the safe was twisted off and a charge of dynamite or some plosive poured into the hole in the safe where the handle came from. The door of the safe was literally blown to pieces, and how such an explosion took place without awaking the entire town is surprising. The safe door was blown about three feet against the wall, and where 1t struck one inch blanks were broken half in two.
 There was between six and seven hun dred dollars stolen Five hundred of the money belonged to Walter Roberson, tax collector of this county; one hundred to Will Norman, a farmer, and about $5 or $10O to Sanderson Brothers and the post office department. The government has authorized a reward of $200 for the arrest of each person connected with the rob- bery, and Sanderson Brothers an addition al $1OO; yet with this reward and some of the best officers on the watch, there seems absolutely no clue.
 Prof. l.. B. Wood teaches school at this place and rooms in the old institute build ing about a half mile east of town. A few nights since returning from his supper, he went up to his room to retire and, with out lighting his lamp, undressed and got into bed. His surprise was great when ho found his bed occupied by a full grown tramp. The gentleman of the road was profuse in his apologies, which were &C., cepted on condition that he vacate, which he did without further ceremony.
