Review described it as "a clumsy adap- tation of a Frfench phrase; cor respondent of the last named review correcting both, says it was really an adaptation of Lord Brougham, 1 be- iieve. of an expression of Tacitus, who at the close of the third book of the Annals, describes the funeral of Junia, the sister of Brutus and wife of Cas- sius, who survived her husband and her brother for sixty-tnree years and died in the reign of Tiberius. Twenty images of her illustrious relatives or connections were carried before her bier, 'sed praefulgebant Cassius atque Brutus, co ipso. quod effigis eorum non visebantur.' " This writer is cor rect, except as to the English adapter, and he and the others could have found all about it by consulting Bart letts Dictionary of Familiar Quota tions. where the phrase of Tacitus is quoted from the Bonn translation, as follows: The image of twenty of the most illustrious famiies-the Manlii, the Quinctii and other names of equal splendor-were carried before it. Those of Brutus and Cassius were not dis played, but for that reason they shone with preeminent luSter.

country ride before the owner gets it.
 These are only few of the compli- cations of mail delivery. and the com- mon incidents of every day at the Phoe- nix postoffice. A dozen more might be mentioned were it worth while. But they all lead to one conclusion which is that the only certain way for one to be sure of his mail in Phoenix, or any where else, is to have it addressed to a street and number, a carrier route or a box. And if one is a. stranger and must use the general delivery, he should have his mail addressed in care of the general delivery. It is batter than no address and may keep it from the box of some city man of the same name. And the application is uni versal. It makes no difference if one has lived here for twenty years and is known by every man in town, it is no excuse for having his mail come in sufficiently addressed if he can help it. He should at least keep all regular core spondents posted.
 There is only one plan devised by man to correct this evil. That plan will be adopted by the Phoenix postoffice at an early day. though it will make lots of people mac for a few days. But something has got to be done to get things started right and impress upon the people the necessity of having their mail fully addressed.
 The plan is to throw everything to the directory clerk that is not fully ad- dressed, whether it be for a well known patron of the office or a stranger. If it be a we'll known patron, the address may be quickly supplied and the let ter delivered with small, but neverthe- Jess some, delay. And the length of de- lay will depend on how much trouble the directory clerk has. It may be three hours, and it may be three days When a patron gets his mail endorsed Held for more complete address," he will begin to heed the pleadings and warnings that have been made to him through the local press and by the pos tai authorities for the last five years.
 To facilitate the work of the directory clerk, there is now in course of com pilation a complete directory designed to contain the address of every man, woman and child that gets mail at the Phoenix postoffice. The book is to be made on the principle of the loose leaf ledger. so that pages when badly scratched may be rewritten and the old pages thrown away. It will be an ever changing and practically up-to- date index to the whole town and sur rounding country.

THAT FAMOUS DUEL.
The Meeting Between Alexander Ham
 iIton and Aaron Burr.

Hamilton'S monument was beauu- fully decorated by the Daughters of the Revolution. who placed upon the shaft an elaborate wreath, chiefly composed of Easter lilies, says a New York letter to the Rochester Democrat and Chron- icle. The near approach of the cen tennial of the famous duel recalls the latter vividly, hence I offer the reader some views of the case, which at least are original and are due to the long consideration of the subject The ri- valry between this distinguished pair began in the revolution. in which each held the rank of colonel. Burr was aide de-camp to General Putnam-an inferior position compared with Ham ilton-who was aide-de-camp of Wash ington, which rendered him familiar with all the higher officers and gave him a marked distinction. Hamilton, in deed, was a favorite with the com mander-i in- chief, who on the other hand disliked Burr and made no conceal ment of that dislike. On the conclu- sion of the war both Burr and Ham, ilton became New York lawyers, but the difference in their social rank gave additional cause for jealousy. Burr married Mrs. Provost, ten years his senior and the widow of a British of ficer. She was of a Tory family which during the war was under surveillance. Indeed, it was in this manner that Burr made her acquaintance and it was not to be supposed that such a woman would comand social position. Ham,
 ilton, on the other hand, married the daughter of General Schuyler, who was

Symphony Orchestra.

The series of six educational symphony
concerts by Reginald de koven and the
Washington Symphony Orchestra will be
inaugurated Thursday afternoon next, at 4
o'clock, at the Lafayette Square Opera
House, and there is every advance promise
that there will be a large concourse of
music students, teachers, high school pupils
and attendants at colleges and seminaries,
together with a generous admixture of the
general public. 1t is believed that this
series of concerts marks the beginning of a
new epoch in Washington musical life as
so far as known, it will be the first time
that such a comprehensive educational fea-
ture has been contemplated. Mr.. De Koven's
lectures, Illustrated and interpreted by the
Washington Symphony Orchestra, will show
the development of the great instrumental
art form of the symphony, from the time of
Bach to the present period of composition.
These will show the trend of each period
and the development in treatment and or
chestration of the symphony. At the ordi-
nary concert the selections presented are
gathered together without special reference
or relation, and representing half a dozen
different periods of composition. Mr.. De
Kovens plan contemplates grouping to-
gether of the composers forming the sue
cessive periods from Bach to date. The pro-
gram in full for next Thursday is as fol-
lows:
The famous suite in D. Bach
Originally scored for three trumpets, three
oboes and strings.)

ner of the cash prize for the best program

ance at the last concert was a fattering in
crease over the first, and the advance sale
this week indicates further enlargement.
