break the spell when they speak.
Roses and dimples and.bright eyes

tongue match them in grace.
Your brothers use slang, and in
vest it with pleasant associations; it
is the short cut, and often wonder
fully to the point; but these facts do
not make it pleasing in you, for it
smacks too much Of the street, and
coming from pretty lips, suggests a
flower covered with wayside dust.
Do not use ungrammatical or cor.
rupt English, even in fun. Such
forms Of speech easily become the
habit, and slip from the tongue when
least wanted.
A school friend, given to perverted
English, usually found that an hour

Nothing, my dear girls, makes SEN

No woman is charming without it,

gone, and not been punished at all. 1t was
for her diSobedience and idleness that she
was Chastised, and | had been patient with
with her, as told you was not very angry
with her, as you seem to think, because l
never give way to temper or beat the children.
This is the first time have ever had anyone
charge me with severity or cruelty.
Annie studied her lesson after that, and told
me that she knew it, but as they had been de-
tanned some time, and it is no pleasure for me
and am not paid for teaching after school, l
excused them, and heard the lesson the next
day.
In my conversation with you the next day,
| asked you what you proposed to do about
it now"' am told that you took offence at
that, and thought was inclined to be impu-
dent. If my tone of voice or manner conveyed
that impression, it was not my intention.
What meant was this: The punishment
had been inflicted, and you said your daughter
bore evidences of it, lat which | was very
much surprised; not having any idea of special
severity, and wanted to know how we could
undo what was done, or if you intended to
withdraw your daughter from school--n short,
what your intentions were. | saw that YOU
were very angry about it.
Annie did not seem to experience any ill
effects from the whipping, and was quite good
natured the next day
hope this explanation will be satisfactory.

Alderman Schrei liner Assaulted.

Last night as Alderman Fritz Schreiner was
closing his bar, he noticed two men standing
near. He locked the door and had his
hand in his pocket, when he was assailed
from behind and severely maltreated. His
assailaats he then recognized as c. l.. Dig
nowity and John T. Hambleton, his brother
in law, who it appears had taken umbrage at
the remarks of the alderman at the last conn
Gil meeting respecting the Dignowity estate.
Mr.. Dignowity was at once arrested and
placed under bond. -
This morning Justice Anton Adam attended
Alderman Schrener at his residence; the al
derman was then in bed suffering from the ef
fects of the assault. Affidavits were then
sworn against c. L. Dign0wity and John T..
HambIeton for aggravated assault. and as the
Justice has no jurisdictonF in such matters, the
case has been refeTedt to the district court.
Both the accused are under bond, and the
general feeling of the public is against them
for an assault under such circumstances upon
an old man,

Whipping in the Public Schools!


The case of whipping in the public schools,
alluded to in the LIGHT, happened in Miss
Beck's room, in the fourth ward school, the
child being the little daughter of Constable
Bader. Captain Bader has lodged complaint
! against Miss Beck with the city school author-
ties where the matter rests for the time being.
Since making his complaint, Capt. Bader has
received the following letter of explanation
from Miss Beck, which we give without COM
ment:
SAN ANTONIO. April II, 1882.
Mr.. Bader
SIR understand, from Prof Rote, that
you were not satisfied with the explanation |
gave you about the punishment of your daugh-
ter. | will endeavor to put the case before
you in detail:
Annie was kept after school. as told you
before, for lesson Of five questions given her
the week before.
told the class Tuesday that they must be
prepared the next day, and gave them a half
hour in the morning to study it. When the
class was called, Annie and two or three
others failed, and were told to remain after
school to recie it.
AIteT SCHOOL was ulSmlSSeQ, nearu an
arithmetic lesson first, thus giving her some
time to prepare herself. Then called upon
her and the others who had missed to write
the lesson; some had it right, but Annie and
two other girls failed again. l gave them
more time while heard boy spell. Then
asked them if they were ready, and they said
they were not; so | sa! down at my desk to
wait till they were. While was sitting there
my dog, that had followed me to school in the
morning, jumped up into my lap, and the chill
dren laughed. He did not lick my face
that is disgusting, and | never allow it.) He
often jumps into my lap at home, of his own
accord, as he did this time, for he is a great
pet. told the children not to mind the dog,
but to study the lesson, which l was waiting
for. put the dog down, without playing
with him, and told the children again to attend
to the lesson. 1t was then, and not till then,
that took small switch and struck her, four
or five blows at most, and did the same to
the other child; but the third girl, who sat be-
hind them, was not laughing, end was not pun
ished. She obeyed me when spoke to her.
Now you understand what the dog has to
do with it. 1t was not wholly on account of
the dog that she was whipped. If she had
known her lesson as she should, she would
not have been kept in. l don't think she has
ever had more than one perfect lesson of this
kind, and that is the reason insisted upon
her studying it. If she had improved her time
as babe her do, she would have said it and

and always has been, open to the freest exam

CHAs. P. SMITH,
City Engineer.
Alderman Berg rose to question of privil-
edge and stated that he thought the communi
cation was an extraordinary one-that Capt.
Smith treated the council as if it had been in
contempt but had purged itself so that he could
communicate with it, Mr.. Berg related the
incident Of his conversation with Capt. Smith
upon the street, in which he had assured him
that their calling for his account Of fees received
he had no intention of rejecting upon his hon.
esty, but only wanted it as a matter of public
information. Mr.. Berg also stated that Capt
Smith had neglected to keep fee book as
required by state law, and that the communi
cation just read was no report at all.
The mayor asked what should be done with
it, but no one would respond, it being evident
the council felt that Capt. Smith had treated
them with contempt
The communication is certainly an extra
ordinary one, and exposes the necessity of a
reform in that office. As an excuse for not
reporting his receipts from fees of the office
the captain says he has been too busy to keep
an account; he has been so busy that he has
worn out one ambulance, already,-but he
thinks the fees will amount to as much as the
official salary. The impression is universe,
that the fees will amount to a good deal more
and as the captain is entitled to them under
the present ordinance, we see no reason for
not stating the exact facts.
The council should at once take this matter
in hand and do away with the present monop-
oily. The city surveyor should not be allowed
to do anything but public work; he should not
be allowed to charge fee; he should be re-
CURED to give the corners and centers of
blocks, and then the property owners could
have the rest of their surveying done by pri-
vate surveyors. The city should not run a
surveyors office to do private work. Accord
ing to Captain Smiths showing the city is
paying out $50 per month for assis-
tants to enable him to do private
surveying for which he receives fee, and ST. ,
per month to feed his horses, besides his of.
fetal salary.
Capt. Smith is competent and industrious
officer, and is thoroughly justified in his &C
tons, but the council should correct the regu-
lations Of his Office Immediately. The Office
being one under control of the council, they
are responsible for its entire management.

Judge NoOnan, in passing sentence, consid-
