The Scavenging of the public streets, as has
heretofore been done by the fire department,
is TO be turned over to the Street Commissioner
as by resolution of the Council last night. This
will do away with good deal Of circumlocu-
tionary work As was remarked by member
of the Council in a neat little speech: "lf Il
dead cat, or n lot OF dead dogs, or heap of
lceman would lave to go to the driver of the
dirt cart, who would go TO somebody else, then
il would 20 to the Chief of the Fire Depart
ment and he would have to get an order from
somebody else 10 have the stencil removed" IL
is a step in the right direction to give the
Street Commissioner the powers that were
granted him last night.

For The Comm vcalth.l
SOUTHERN aEIREAT.
BY ERNEST HARTE.

In far-of Southern country is a quiet.
calm retreat.
Where brook in native sl,yness.l with
its cadence soft and sweet,
Flows on gently underneath the foliage OF
o'erhanglng trees,
Smiling at the gleeful kisses of each fond
embracing breeze.
In some still, sequcstcr,d crevice near
the glittering, sparkling stream,
Falrest children of the wildwood stay the
live-long day and dream.
Lovely, modest water lilies, with, their
hearts of purest gold,
In this wild retiring retreat sweetest fra
GRANGE here unfold,
And the yellow jasmine twining with at
lection fond and true,
Round its stronger friends for refuge,
shows its love and weakness TOO;
While each golden cups . censor with
its beauty rich and rare,
Wasting all its sweetest. fragrance on the
wild and desert air.
And the graceful white ash tassels. with
their fringe so soft and white.
Rise amid the dark green foliage like
phantoms of the night.
While the grand old oaks and naples,
with the other woodland trees,
Catch the perfume in their bosoms, cast
1T on each passing breeze,
AS 1t stoops with gay affection to caress
the passing stream.
Or with sOftest, sweetest kisses wakes the
lilies from their dream.
And the hill beyond the streamlet, with
its wealth Of glossy green.
Rising up above the Landscape like some
tower of old Is seen,
Upon the very summit. where the tangled
vines are creeping,
Round quaint and rocky cavern some
shy stag perhaps IS leaping.
tlere the kiss of first affection and the
last sad dying rays
Of the sun, have softly fallen through the
many by-gone days.
Here the tears Of nature falling in the
quiet. dim twilight,
Bid goodbye to shades of evening -ushers
in the sexton night,
With his pail Of heavy darkness covering
up the lovely day, /.
While the stars upon his mantle through
the sulsWBp&etwVtcb stag,
