THE JEsv.

In tavern quaint and old
or a gablcd German town,
Where the night-wlnd up and down
Through the winding streets blew cold.
Gay travellers CHANGED to meet
Around a bountlful board,
Where the fire that lcapcd aud roarct
Flamed out on the silent street.
AS the wine they freely quaffed,
One rub'cund stranger guest
Related merry Jest,
And the company loudly laughed.
But just as the mirth had died
A weird sound, Underlined,
Was borne ON gust Of wind
From the arras ut their side.
And he on whose lips toast
Was lingering, palcd with fear,
While aghast, all hushed to hear
The laugh Of listening ghost!

Tho Grea. Demand for Seeds.

i, There is an unusually large demand on
the agricultural department ut Washington
for seeds. not only from congressman but
from agriculturists throughout the country.
At present there are 10 persons employed
in putting UP and mailing seeds alIkinds,
and the force is not equal to the demands
upon it. The seeds being sent out this
spring are said to be OF nn un.
usually, good quality. An opinion
partment will supply farmers with all the
seed they want Tor the purpose OF raising
crops, and not infrequently demands are
made for several bushels OF seed by the
same party. Those who receive seed from
the government would render valuable as.
sistance to tho department II they would
follow the governments instructions nc-
companying seeds sent, and report fully
tho results obtained in every case.

Osko.h Dark at Midday.

A most remarkable atmospheric phe.
nomenon occurred ut Oshkosh, Wis, on
the 10th inst, Mt 3 d. m. The day was
light, though cloudy. when suddenly dark.
ness commenced settling down, and in five
minutes it was as dark as midnight. Gem
eral CONSERVATION prevailed. People on
the streets rushed to and fro. Teams
dash dashed "a along, ;. and romen and chi! chill.
ness operations ceased until lights
could be lighted. Not q breath Of air
was stirring on the surface OF the earth.
The darkness lasted from cigth to ten min.
utes, when it passed off, seemingly from
west to east, and brightness followed.
News from cities in the west snys the same
phenomenon was observed there in ad.

west to east. Nothing could be seen to in.

There has been some gossip here
over the report that Mr.. Blaine refused
the prOffered hand of Senator Ed
munds at the Arthur funeral in New

they are convinced that he made no
attempt to conciliate Mr.. Edmunds,
as he is fully aware that the latter
can have no sympathy with him in
his political aspirations.

CITY SCHOOLS.
Salaries and Other Expenses Provi-
ded For.

The city council convened yesterday
afternoon in special session as a school
board to receive the report Of the above
board and appropriate the money need
ed in helping the state out TO run our
city schools for the next year. Consid-
cradle fun was had between the mayor
and several Of the aldermen, Gallagher.
as usual, having good deal to say in
his pointed manner to the mayor, AL
derman Common and Alderman French,
in spite Of the gavel, which seemed TO
beat continuous tattoo whenever he
began to speak. Alderman McAlliste
went for Superintendent Smith without
gloves, charging that he had not given
the booksellers Of the city lists OF what
books TO bring on for the high school
classes, and consequently several teach
ers are idle and drawing pay aud the
scholars are being thrown back in their
studies. The mayor got excited and de-
Tended Prof Smith in an eloquent man
ner. Degcner and French did not favor
using the 10 per cent. building tax
to pay the salaries OF the teachers
and thought some other means should
be provided so the building fund could
be kept intact for its purpose. The
board decided to spend $1,000 in prOvid-
ing another COlOred school for the First
and Second wards and adopted the ap-
preparation of S47 ,l2l for salaries of
teachers and $l3, 1874 for other expenses,
such as repairs, sidewalks, fuel, station
cry and printing, supplies, janitors, etc.
After which the board adjourned.

The LIGHT has received communica-
ton from third ward merchant, who
has subscribed to the proposed smelling,
containing list of the property-owners
OF this city who are assessed $50, 600 and
upwards, whose names do not appear
upon the list Of subscribers to this smelt-
ing works. The LIGHT does not deem 1t
best to publish the list, but does most
heartily and emphatically endorse the
spirit of the communication, which
urges upon the wealth of this city, the
corporate wealth as well as the indi-
vidual, TO rally promptly to the aid Of
those who are endeavoring to secure this
great Industry for San Antonio. Laredo
wants it, and wants it bad, as the LIGHT
said only day or two since, and the
requisite amount should be subscribed
Immediately so as to clinch the matter
beyond question.

THAT STEAM ROLLER.
Some Pointers for the Consideration OF
the City Council and the Citizens.

Some Pointers for the Consideration of
the City Council and the Citizens.
Editor San Antonio Light.
1t is authOritatiyely reported that the
steam roller Ia regarded to be unsatis-
factory and that the city will bring suit
against the manufacturers. This, for
many reasons, is absurd and could only
mulCt the city into considerable dam
ages. In the first place the managers
could prove by incontrovertible evil
denCe OF the best expert engineers the
character Of their machines, and they
could also prove that hundreds of SINH
lar machines are and have been for " ars
working in Europe, America, and In
other parts OF the world, doing good
work and giving complete satisfaction.
The inference therefore IL that either the
engineer does not understand the ma
chine or he is not competent to work IL,
and that this Is the cause for the damage
and dissatisfaction that is reported.
Then, again, II the city we're to sue the
manufacturer and obtain judgment Of
what use would it be? The amount
could not be collected If the manufac-
turers refused to pay 1t, and it is pretty
certain that they would object to pay
for what they could prove prlma facie to
be an injustice. On the whole, the city
has the worst of the bargain II their con-
tention is right, which Is doubtful, and
1t would be foolish tor the council to
waste more money. Better far would 1t
be to devote the money to an extra sal
airy that would induce really first-class
engineer to come here, thus superintend-
ing the working and repairs of all ma
chinery that belongs to the city. Such
officer is undoubtedly wanted, and in
the end he would save many hundreds
Of dollars. Faithfully yours,

Whimsical, Very Whimsical.

There seems to be considerable red
tapeism about the public schools just
now, but whether 1t is the superintend-
ent's instructions or the teachers whims
1t is difficult to determine. One thing is
quite clear, several children in the sec
Ond ward school we're sent home be-
cause their states were not Of n special
size and make. And they were told not
to come again until they were supplied
with those particular states. This fact
needs no comment.
