ME cry PRINTING.

The bids Of various parties for the city
urinting having been duly considered, the
Committee on Printing reported to the
General Council last night in favor OF
the Avalanche, and that paper was &C.
cordiugly elected. The LEDGER has had
the printing Of ordinances and
proceedings for two years, and
now eheerfully relinquishes the post
and the duty to the successful
bidder. The LEDGER offered to print
one square of ordinances ten days Tor
SO As. The Avalanche offered to do the
same at 50 %, or difference of about
six cents on the dollar. Each paper bid
the same for printing the proceedings
This was almost as close bid as We
ever knew. But business is business
and it is all right. We shall ne
longer flourish official journal
at our masthead, nor print thai
beautiful serial story of Council Fro
ceedings. We refer the public to thu
columns of the Avalanche hereafter FOL
that choice branch Of current literature
which comes periodically in huge efhcia
envelopes from the City Hall. W.
can say with clear conscience tina
we have endeavored 70 perform oul
part of the contract faithfully, ant
doubt not that our neighbor vii
do the same and in highly salts
factory manner. The city printing il
not as profitable job as some might
suppose, yet it pays small profit, and
is sure to be collected. Our business
intercourse with the city officials has al
ways been of a pleasant character, al
though in nowise affecting our editorial
course in regard to municipal affairs.

RumOred Death Of EX.Presi-

Condition of Cuban Affairs Most
Encouraging to the Patriots.

New YoRK, March 5.-The rumored
death of ex-President Cespedes, of the
Cuban republic, is generally disbeleved
by the Cubans here, who regard it is a
Spanish canard to intimidate the patri-
OTIS and iBjure the cause.
The latest news through Cuban
sources of the progress of the affairs OF
the Cubans is most encouraging. In
Comajuay the Cubans have more men
aud horses than the Spaniards. On the
It'll Of January battle was fought
at MELONS between coo Cubans and a
party Of cayalary of 1900 spaniards.
The latter being numerically much
stronger, drove the Cubans before them
and entered their camp, when the Cuban
cavalry repulsed them. The Spaniards
retrested, leaving AZ dead bodies. The
Cubans took 10 prisoners, so horses and
II guns.

wAsHIseroN, D. c.. February q. 1874.
The Bureau of Education, under Gen.
Eaton's direction, has grown almost to
the proportions OF a department. 1t
entirely occupies large four-story brick
building opposite the Patent Office, and
is well worthy of visit. l spent one
entire morning there and found not only
an accurate and comprehensive system
Of arranging educational statistics, but
much to interest and instruct. A large
clerical force, male and female, is en-
ployed, and at present is unusually busy
in preparing the next annual report OF
Commissioner Eaton. he supervises
each division in person, besides doing a
heavy amount Of work in his own Office
The great difficulty has been to secure
reliable statistics from the various States.
The Eastern States and most of the West
ern are fairly represented, but regret to.
notice in the copy ready for the printer
a lamentable deficiency from many
of the Southern States. Tennessee,
however, is an exception. The State
Superintendent, Colonel John NJ. Flem-
ing, has furnished almost complete re-
port as to scholastic population, teach
ers employed, sources Of revenue and
amount of educational facilities gener-
ally. Tennessee, am proud to say,
makes a fair showing. The forthcoming
report will be of great value to public
educators, and to all who study the well
fare Of the people and the signs Of the
times.
General Eaton is not in good health.
He is overworked, and even his extended
trip to Europe last year was not relief,
as he devoted himself while there inoes-
sanity to the study of the educational
systems of Germany, Austria, Italy,
France, England and other Govern
ments. BE was once editor Of the Mem
phis (Rsdical) Post but is out Of poll
tics entirely, and devoted to the cause Of
education. / beg 10 thank him for a
very cordial reception and a minute ex-
PLANTATION Of the workings of his impor-
tAnt and admirably managed Bureau.
1t is always pleasure to meet q man
like General Eaton who can rise above
political differences such as exist be-
tween his friends and mine, and show
himself the fair minded, public spirited
gentleman.
While giving so much space to our
Republican friends, Of course will not
forget our Memphis Representative,
Hon. Barbour Lewis. On arriving here
on the 22d inst. met him at the Ebbitt
House, and he has since shown me all
the courtesy that any rural constituent
could expect or desire, and has done the
agreeable in his own peculiar AID happy
way. He is quite a man Of society, anc
is an especial favOrite with the ladies, to
whom he always is ready to address
some acceptable compliment. His &C

Fire I'm RostOn.

BosToS, March 5.-Yesterday morn
ing at ten o'clock Ere broke out in a
freight house of the Eastern railroad,
supposed to have originated in some cars
near the building by the explosion OF
yitriol. In an almost incredibly short
time after the FIRE was discovered the
whole building was in flames. The de-
pot is a building 600 feet long, extend
ing from Magrival street down to the
wharf. The first 100 feet was wood and
contained the offices and other rooms
for the managers and employees of the
road. The rest was brick and full OF
cars loaded with freight. Everything in
the building is total loss. The people
in the building had hardly time to escape
with their lives. Great efforts are being
made to save another large freight
building belonging to the road adjoining
a cotton and kerosene house. Total
loss, including thirty cars, 100000.
