My men, being directed thereto by

up some big powders which lay
about, and with these we soon man
aged to block the passage through the
overhanging ridge of rock in such fash
ION that the soldiers below could not
possibly climb over it.
Indeed, so far as could see they did
not even try to do so; the heart was
out of .hem, as the Zulus say.
Then, having rested few moments,
we took up the loads. including the
tusks of ivory that had cost us so dear.
and in silence marched OH for a couple
Of miles or so, till we reached patch
of dense bush.
And here, being utterly exhausted.
we camped for the night, taking the
precaution, however, of setting guard
to watch against any attempt at sur.
prise.

was petition circulated at the town
of Ponrose and the farmers who re-
side north Of there which received
seventy-five signatures, asking the
postal authorities to open u postoffice
at Penrose.
Yesterday the Beaver Land and r.
rigation company suggested to mem
bers of the local association that in
stead Of starting an office there, 1t
might be good plan to have rural
route from Florence, taking the mail
out from here on horseback or in a
light cart, distributing the same
from house to house as city carrier
would in town.
1t was shown where the Florence
postoffice would become more impor-
tant at once and that the revenues
could be largely increased. The
Business Mems association was not
slow in taking hold of the matter and
AS result 1t sent Secretary Schuyler
out to have the petition signers who
sought Penrose postoffice, change
