THE ROMAN AN0ARIA.

Anoient Postal eystem That Came
Down From the Persial,s.
The carefully organized postal sys-
tenn Of today is Of course more COM
pfete than the angaria Of the ancient
Romans, Jet their mail travelled with
considerable speed.
The system OF angari, or couriers on
horseback, was borrowed from the Per
slams, who, according to Zenophon, had
established It under Cyrus the Elder.
The Roman adaptation OF It was the
best system OF transmitting letters
among the ancient states. b s;ss
All along the great Roman roads
houses were erected at distance Of
ave or six miles from each other. AZ
each Of these stations forty horses
were constantly kept and BY the help
Of relays It was easy to travel hum
dred miles In day.
These services were intended for the
state only, 1t being imperative to SCI
cure the rapid interchange OF official
communications. In the time OF Julius
Caesar the system was SO wei or
ganized that Of two letters the great
soldier wrote from Britain to Cicero at
Rome the one reached Its destination
in twenty-six and the other In twen-
W-eight days.
Private citizens had to trust to the
services Of slaves, and 1t IL not until
the end Of the third century that we
hear Of the establishment Of a postal
system for private persons by the Em-
peror Diocletian, but how long this
system remained history does not say.
The supply Of horses and their main
tenance were compulsory, and only the
emperor could grant exemption from
either The word angaria therefore came
to mean compulsory service IN dis
patching the royal mail Scrap Book.

Attacked by Pet Bull.

Several weeks ago, while Mrs G. Mel
ebert was in the yard at her home, near
'Walhalla, she was attacked by young
bull and badly hurt. Tho animal has
been considered quite pet by Mr.. and
Mrs. Melchert, and is playful and gentle
as rule. Mrs. Melchert frequently fed
him from her hands, and heihad become
such pet.as to follow both Mr.. and
Mrs. Melohert about the yard for their
oaresses and the dainties they were in
the habit of carrying for him. On this
occasion, however, he was not SO gentle,
and made rush at Mrs. Melchert, strik-
ing her in the chest with his head,
knocking her down, and badly lascerat-
Ing her face with his horns. Fortu-
nately, Mr.. Melchert was at the house,
and hearing his wife's Screams, ran to
her assistance, and succeeded in. driving
the bull away before she was fatally
hurt Mr.. Melohert says that but for his
timely arrival he does not doubt that his
wife would have been killed. She was
painfully hurt, aud has by no means
fully recovered, though she is much bet
ter. The force Of the blow on her chest
has affected her lungs, from which ! she
suffers still. We are glad to know, how
ever, that she Is improving, and her
friends hope that she may soon be quite
we'll again.

here how prominent . figure he was at

held both hands high In the air when
Mr.. Tillman, called for his usual "hand

SO ardent Tillmanite was Mr.. Mann
at that time that he fell out with the
anti-T -Tillmanite town OF Newberry and
said some right hard things about the

members Of the churches of his circuit,
or the trustees OF church property, to
sell their parsonage In town-the place
Aow owned by Mrs. Willie Ruff, on
Boundary street. adjoining the Boundary

land two or three miles from town, upon

just about this time the annual confer

where else, and Mr.. Wait was sent to the
Newberry circuit in his place. Mr.. Wait
at once set about to undo, as far as pcs
sib.e, what had been done. He could
not get the parsonage back ;sbut he sue
ceeded in getting release from the
trade for the country place. and then he
bought the house and lotS on Cornelia

remains there to this day, convenient to
