The Texas Buzard Dying Out. CO

To the Editor Of The EVENING LIGHT:
1t will be remembered that especially in
mild summer time this section of the state was
supplied with mriads of buzards, flying,
throughout the wide blue Texas permanent,
first low, then higher and higher IN circular
line until they could be seen only as a small
black body and finally becoming entirely un-
visible to the eye. The buzards, around this
place, were in such abundance, even last
year, that several could be seen in the very
heart Of the city, some along the banks of the
river below the old mill bridge, knawing at a
dead, decaying and perhaps poisoned dog, and
some in the western part of the city near the
hospital, setting or flying around a carcass of
a poisoned dog in the chaparal.
If we now take look around us up into
the sky, we will notice that it is rarely we see
a buzzard; it makes the impression as if they
have really died out or left the country.
What the direct cause for this behavior of our
black eronantal friends may be, is uncertain;
perhaps because the carcasses Of dead dogs,
ETC., are removed outside Of the city; and the
farmers, who travel long distances through the
prairies, tell me that they notice a large de-
crease OF buzzards in number this year, and
they believe that the wolves which are poi
soned in large quantities and eaten by the
buzzards is the cause of it; others, again,
think it comes from the many poisoned dogs
in the city, which are deposited outside the
city limits Whatever the causes may be,
there is no doubt that there is visible de-
crease of one of the most useful birds and the
only efficient scavenger and sanitarian of the
Texas prairies.

"Well, how many of your neghborhood

"How many? Well, there's the old man
Skinner for one. He has been to Jackson
twice that know of. Then there's Aunt
Deborah Smith, who goes down to Fort
Wayne every spring and fall. Then we've
got several young men who alters 20 up to
Lansang when there's circus"
'Apy more ?" asked the official, as the far
mer scratched his head and wriggled around.

more just now; but if you 60 ahead and put q

The telegram in the Galveston News:
"Newcomb will be confirmed as postmaster at

q little crowd at the Menger last night. They
resorted to the telegraph Office for comfort.
speaking of the death of Jack Harris the
Times says: "His death is but little regrette
except by the gamblers and prostitutes"
The Times does itself injury in making such
an assertion, for that paper should know that
there are large number of people not en-
braced in the above designations who deeply
deplore the death of Jack Harris.
The Times objects to the appointment of
Billie Sims as administrator of the affairs of
the Harris estate. Billie will conduct the
business with the strictest honesty, an in our
opinion no better man could have been chosen.
Mr.. Harris'' family are people of the highest
responsibility, and no doubt will imm ediately
close out all connection with the business car
ried on by Harris.

return, appointed him minister of fine arts.
Dumas, who always keeps an eye on the main

To Miss Annie williams

Amiable, she won all,
Intelligent, she charmed all,
Fervent, she loved all,
And dead, she saddened all.
She was but as smile.
Which glistens in tear,
Seen but little while,
She was loved and dear.
But ere sin could harm, or sorrow fade,
Death came with friendly care,
The opening bud to heaven conveyed,
And babe it blossom there.
SO shed not the bitter tear,
Nor give. the heart to vain regret,
IT'S but the casket that lies here,
The gem that filled it sparkles yet.

He is described as bright apd scholarly, but it is not stated whether he has any of the amiable peculiarities of Whitaker and tlIpper. His advent will have one good effect.
