boat free to float down the river. In that
way the delay of some hours would be
gainesi-sufiicient 10 prevent the train
from catching the mail steamer to Eng
land. Consequently the diamonds would
then have to be kept for a fortnight in
the Port Elizabeth postofiice.
In Port Elizabeth the acquaintance OF
the postmaster was made and cultivated.
He was a jovial. unsuspecting man, and
had no idea that his new friends were
locating the safe and taking wax inn
preston of his keys. With this mold they
had returned to England, and in due
course the services OF a keymaker, who
formerly kept a 'ocksmth's shop in Lam
beth, were requisitioned at the subur-
ban mansion. From this place the gen
eral director presently dispatched a con-
federate with his wife to start house
keeping a Port Elizabeth, so that place
of refuge might be open to the thieves
when the time came for the real work to
be done, and no one could point to them
as lettering strangers without friends In
the district. Thus carefully were all the
ptanS laid, and then the prime movers
in the plot arrived from England upon the
scene of operations. Their first business
was to buy a two-horse team and light
Cape cart. Giving out that they were
ostrich-feather dealers, they started up
country to the river. and on reaching the
ferry put up for the night In the dark
ness one of their number slipped out and
cut the cable, so that, as had been fore
seen, the boat was carried down the river
eight miles before IT was discovered the
next morning. The mail coach came to
the opposite bank, but there it had to
step until the wandering ferryboat could
be recovered and replaced. Everything
followed as had been forecasted. The
mail train did not bring the malls in time
to catch the steamer, and the two mail
bags containing the diamonds were there
fore deposited In the postoffice. and the
rest was easy.
But there stil remained the disposal
OF the stolen diamonds which were of
great value, and the plan which was con-
ceived was equally well thought out
The robbers waited a few months and
then one of the principals opened an office
IN the nelghborhood of HattongIrden, and
there, IT is said, in the ordinary way of
business, were sold to their real owners-
the merchants to whom the stones had
been consigned-the stolen diamonds
While thus engaged acquaintance was
picked up with a dealer in uncut diamonds
and South African mine owner who
regularly received every fortnight dia-
monds TO the value of 10000 to f12 900. One
OF the trio arranged to accompany their
victim to Turkish bath, while the two
others got at his clothing and took an i'm
preston of the key of the safe IN which
he usually locked up his diamonds As
fortune favored him, on the particular
night the thieves determined to rob his
safe II happened that no diamonds had
arrived by mail, so the rogues had to be
content with whatever other valuables
the safe contained. Suspicion did not fan
upon the gang, however, and they con'n-
ued In the diamond trade until their stock
was exhausted. 1t was valued at $4,000

CLARK'S FORCES ENJ0INED.
oregon short Line Gets the Court to
Help in Its Fight.

Salt Lake, Utah, April 2S.-According to
a Herald special from Uvada, Utah. Col.
Maxson, who is in charge of the Clark
forces at the disputed right of way near
uvada, was to-day served with notice by
the representatives of the Oregon Short
Line that an injunction has been issued
by the United States Court at Carson CITY
prohibiting the San Pedro Company from
interfering with the Short Line in its con-
structton of railroad between Uvada,
Glover Valley Junction and Pichue. Col
MaXson' refused to accept service on the
ground that the order lacked official iden-
uty, and at once dispatched word to his
men at the front to ignore the order.
The Clark forces, however, are preparing
to yield gracefully. to their rivals so soon
as the United States marshal serves Off
cial notice, but until that time they de-
clare they wild hold every inch of ground
they now possess even at the risk of a
fight. In this decision they are upheld by
the officers of the Clark interests in Salt
Lake and Los Angeles, who have tele-
graphed them to make no further conces-
SionS.

nent part in the tradition of the food.
No numbers are given, In marked con-
trast to the Biblical narrative, but there
were evidently pairs In the first group,
and II would not be difficuIt to make out
seven for the bovine race and sheep. In
the many herd lists of Ninevite kings,
the numbers OF each sort are, of course,
always given. Hence we can scarcely
think of the animals in a farmyard.
Then follow a list of birds. most OF
which are not yet to be identified with
any certainty, though nearly all the ide-
ograms occur also in the lists of offer
ings made to the gods. Such birds were
in all probability used for food. The list
ends with the dove, the swallow, the
raven" Now, In the Ninevite version Of
the story Noah sent forth when the wa
ters began to abate. first the dove, then
the swallow, then the raven. The order
is the same. The raven would hardly be
kept In any domestic esta blishment; few
of the other creatures, except. perhaps,
antelopes, would he kept in a Tnenaserie.
The extraordinary dimensions of the
building, the singular selection of ami
mails, as remarkable for its omissions as
for its contents. seem suited to no other
explanation than that we have here q
summary estimate of the size and con-
tents of Noah's ark.
! may add that the shape of the tablet
is unusual one side being fiat, the other
convex. The contour is a long oval like
that of a pressed fig. The writing reads
the same way on both sides, contrary to
the usual custom of the scribes who
turned over" from top to bottom, not from
left to right as we do and as in the case
OF this tablet. The text is a sort of pal
impsest, in that several lines are written
upon partly erased characters The ide-
ographic style seems to indicate that this
was an extract or abstract from a larger
and probably older work. Yours faith

TO THOSE WHO DIED IN MEXICO.
o'Hara's Poem Not Written for Con-
federates, but for Union Soldiers.
From the Lake Providence Qa) Banner
Democrat.

From the Lake Providence Ua) Banner
Democrat.
Having lately seen beautiful tribute
to Theodore O'Hara, author of the immor-
tai poem. 1.-THE Bivouac of the Dead"
and as O'Hara was my personal friend
and assistant in the Adjutant General S
office of the Kentucky division, COM
manded by Maj. Gen. Breckenridge, take
pleasure in sending you an extract from
the article, with the full poem, which l
have carried i'll my notebook ever since
the war.
1t is worthy of record that this son of
the South produced the one perfect and
universal martial eulogy that the world
has known, and that the South has been
absolutely unmindful of this fact The
first of these statements is proved by the
fact that without any advertisement or
explorations the wonderful words have,
in the fifty years since they were writ
ten, permeated the whole world and been
laid hold of by Englsh-peaking people
everywhere to celebrate their heroic dead
who passed away in battle Upon Cri-
mean battlefields the resting place of
English heroes is marked by a great mon
ument, on which shine O'Hare's matchless
words and yet England did not know
from whom she borrowed when she wrote
them:
On fames eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread
And glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead.
Perhaps the anonymous character of
the poem was a blessing, since it is
doubtful if the Federal government OF
the United States would have used the
lines in such lavish fashion in immor-
talizing the dead of the Union Army had
they been recognized as the product of
the genius of soldier and officer of the
other side. In any case they did not
know. and every national cemetery in
America has gained thereby, since they
are not only the most appropriate, but
the only appropriate lines for such pur-
pose.
Over the gateway of the National Gem
etery at Washington the famous first
stanza is engraved. and there as at An
tietam and other national cemeteries,
the entire poem is reproduced, stanza
by stanza, on slabs placed along the
driveway.
OHara lies in the burying ground at
Frankfort, KY. with only the inscription
on a simple slab of marble, which says:
THEODORE OHARA,
Major. A. d. c.
Died June 6, 1867
Below is a copy of his poem in full,
written on the occasion of the removal
Of the Kentucky dead from Mexico to
their native state after the war with the
country.

NO TRAINING STATION.
Brunswick Hopes for Blythe ISLAND
Blighted.

Brunswick, April est now looks like
the much talked of naval training station
will not be located at Blythe and there is
general disappointment here. 1t seems that
natural eddies north of the island contin-
ually bank up mud and it is said that
deep water can only be kept there by the
constant use of a dredge and this is just
what the government does not want
1t was first reported that Admiral
Crowinshield had highly recommended
Blythe after his thorough inspection Of
the place, but later developments show
that his report was not as encouraging as
at first supposed. Mr.. Crowninshield it is
said, spoke of the peculiar natural run OF
the tides and said this was a great dis
advantage.
The fact that the government sent the
deeds to the island here to be recorded
again led the public to believe that a sta
ton would surely be built. The book In
which the original deed was recorded was
destroyed by fire some years ago.

The Bivouac of the Dead.

written by Theodore O'Hara, in 1870
The muff1ed drums sad roll has beat
The soldiers last tattoo;
No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On flames eternal campign 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 thoughts at midnight haunts
OF loved ones left behind;
No vision of the morrow's strife
The warriors dream 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. traied 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 bugles stirring blast;
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout, are passed;
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that nevermore may feel
The rapture of the fight.
Like the fierce Northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Came down the serried foe,
Who heard the thunder of the fray
Break DER the field beneath,
Knew well the watchword of that day
Was victory or death"
Long had the doubtful conflict ragged
Ger all the stricken plain,
For never fiercer fight had waged
The vengeful blood of Spain;
And still the storm of battle blew,
Still sWelled the CORY tide;
Not long our stout old chieftain knew
Such odds his strength could bide.
Twas in that hour his stern command
Called to a martyrs grave
The flower of his beloved land,
The nations flag to save.
BY rivers of their fathers gore
His first-born laurels grew,
And well he deemed the SONS would pour
Their lives for glory, too.
Full many a northern's breath has swept
Ger Angostura's plain
And long the plying sky has wept
Above it's moldered slain.
The ravens scream or eagles flight,
Or shepherds pensive lay
Alone awakes each sullen hight
That frowned DER that dread fray.
Sons of the dark and bloody ground,
Ye must not slumber there,
VUtara o,trau0pr efeusa and fOnRtlaa re-
sound
Along the needless air.
Your own proud lands heroic soil
Shall be your filter grave;
She claims from war his richest spoil
The ashes of her brave.
Thus meath their parent turf they rest,
Far from the CORY field.
Born to a Spartan mothers breast
on many a bloody shield;
The sunshine OF their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The heroes sepu4ehre.
Rest on embalmed and sainted dead!
Dear as the blood We gave;
No impious footsteps here shall tread
The heritage Of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record Keeps,
Or honor paints the balloWed spot
Where yslor proudly Steers.
Yon marble MINISTRIES v0iceieEE stone
la destbless fOng shall tel,
When many . vanished age hath Town,
The story how ye fell.
Nor wreck, nor change. nor winters

Nor unle's rem0rsfless doom,

That eiiis your cesiblffs tomb,
