OLD POEM.
George BarthOlemai, the plant, pleasant,
pleasing, preservative, polite with five
''P's," are quite enough comes 10 the LIGHT
office, and in his blandest smyle kind of way,
as much as to say, 'DO not tell it 10 the
police" style, said: "Here Is the last effuSiOn
of our home poet. The LIGHT has always
been great rendeSyOuZ for Mr.. BarthOlOmai,
and hence for his benefit and the great house
he so ably represents, the following para
phrase is published:
Gould pour out the nectar As Gods only
/ would fill up the glass to the brm
And drink the success of George Bar
thOlOmai
And the house represented by him.
And could | but tincture the glorious
draughts,
With his smiles as | think of him then;
The laug his he has laughed and the jokes ~
he has told,
would fill up the goblet again.
When George Bartholomai bid sweet heart
With tenderness thrilling his heart;
1t was Little Joker of Gail and AK,
Farewell brought tears to his eyes.
Recalling fair hands and the pureSt of heart,
That bid him good speed, safe return.
So here is to wife with babe on her knee,
When Little Joker is far, far away,
While often awaiting his return in vain,
And who breaks his first letters so trent
ulOusly
And reads them again and again.
And the dear old mother by the Preside
warm,
Who murmurs and weeps DER the stockings
she knitS
AS she thinks of the wandering one.

TAXAS STEAM LAUNDRY.

Notwithstanding the fact that other
laundrieS here are called 'steam laundries,"
and are so advertised on signs and bills, the
steam laundry in San Antonio is located
at 4OS East Houston street This is not only
steam laundry in name, but in reality.
The Texas Steam Laundry is conducted on
business principles, and never fails to give
satisfaction both in promptness and quality
of work. Prices are as low as any laundry
in the city, while the facilities for quick and
good work are much better. Parties leaving
work at this Laundry in the morning, can, if
desired, have it completed in three or four
hours time. Family washing is done
promptly and at very low prices. All work
guaranteed first-class. Patrons of this
laundry will receive kind and prompt atten-
ton from the prOprietOrs, Messrs. Murrin d
Bennett.
POwDERLY considers James q. Blaine
'the greatest fraud on earth" When
ever and wherever this sentiment is con-
spicuously paraded in any newspaper
with approving comments, it will be
safe to say that a perusal of the back
files of such papers will show editorial
condemnation Of POwderly as the re-
sponsible author OF more fool sayings
than any man in the country. Consis-
teDcy 10 a rare jewel.

a Confederate, and alter many adventures
came back TO report for duty.
Alter that CORPORAL SCHENECTADY was
marked man. We looked upon INN WIN
such awe and superstition that NOBODY
would be friendly. He became sort
OF outcast; indeed, we all argued that =
man who wouldn't stay dead when fairly
killed had very mean streak in his COM
position.
In due time came Pope's fights around
Manassas. We were fighting at GroYeton,
and as the regiment was ordered to head
it's brigade in a charge = dozen OF us had
our eyes on the corporal. He realized IT.,
and there was look Of determination on
his face. We interpreted IL to mean that
il be was killed again he would stay killed.
The brigade was in hot box. The enemy
gave US every sort OF missile known to
war, and we couldn't close up the lanes
pl0ughed through our ranks. | had my
cap knocked off and my canteen cut
away, and was making "A grab to recover
the latter when Corporal Solemnch)ly got
his dose again. l saw him leap two feet
high and fall in heap, and knew by the
way he struck the ground that ne was
goner.
There were only twenty-eight men in the
company after that fight. They had given
me the cOrp0raPs place, ana we had got
around in the opening OF the nRhJ, AZ
Antietam without losing another man.
We had several times talked over the iate
OF Corporal SCHENECTADY, and had eX-
pressed regret at the way we had used
him. My brigade was under Hooker then
and on the evening previous to the hight
we had been pushed across the Antletam
on the right. to be ready to advance on
| jackson at daylight. About O'Clock, as
| we rested on the lines in the darkness.
| heard a voice saying. Il tell you it's dog
/ gone mean to 90 and report teller dead

/ sure about mp
1t was Corporal SCHENECTADY come back
TO rs! A bullet had raked his head at
GrOYeton. and he had crawled to the rear
alter dark and been sent to the hospital
in Washington. He was hopping mad at
every man OF us, and we gave him as good
as ne sent. We told him that any man
who bad played hockey on death as often
as he had couldn't be trusted by thd living
and he was advised to 10 10 the rear and
be surely and honorably killed by the
heels OF some mule. just at daylight he
crept over to me and whispered;
~ can't blame the boys SO very much.
Tell you what, If Pm not killed for sure In
this fight j shan't come back TO the COM
pany. / couldn't have the face to. I'll just
desert and 20 home"
IL advanced with us, and we had work
ed our way almost up to the corn field,
when / saw him tumble. ! bent over him
and saw that he had bullet in the
breast. He looked up, smiled, and, as
bent closer, he whispered.

Of the boys would see me planted to stay:

The day after the fight we hunted up the
body and helped to bury it. Corporal
Olemncholy was dead enough this time,
and there was a smile on his face as if he
had won a victory over us.

A Corporal whOwouldn't stayKilIed.


We had in our company a slab.sided,
iong-legged chap named Aaron Smith.
His face wore constant look OF second
mourning, and his voice WAS enough TO
remind the most careless nearer OF grave
stones and weeping willows. More as
Joke than for any good reason, the boys
elected Aaron corporal, and ever after
that be went by the name Of Corporal
SCHENECTADY.
Bull Run was our first fight. We were
In the neigh5orhood of the Henry house,
advancing upon a section of artillery.
when / saw Corporal SCHENECTADY take
tumble u the ground, roll over and kick,
aud had no doubt that he was done for.
we were driven back, and by and by the
panic followed, and away we went for
Washington. About week after this,
while the company was encamped at Arl-
fngtOD, the corporal walked in on us one
day and draWled:
''You are a purity lot of dod-gasted
pumpkin seeds TO leave me dead on a bat
tlefeld, and / sban't forgit it,"
He had been struck in the stomach by a
spent bullet, and, after being captured by
the Confederates had made his escape. He
was mad az the whole company, and
wouldn't give any OF us civil word for
weeks.
Our next brush was at WILLIAMSBURG
The regiment was ordered into some
fallen timber, ana the position was soon
red hot. The corporal was sighting his
musket across limb, when he suddenly
rolled over, ana ! saw blood on his face
as we crowded further 10 the left for bet
Ter cover. One-fiith OF our company was
wiped out there, and we hadn't got over
mourning for them when Corporal solemn
choly suddenly appeared In our midst.
This was two weeks after the eight, and
his face was tied uD With bandages. We
rushed 70 greet him, but he waved us or
and said;
Don't nobody come near mel You
wretches went and left me there in the
woods, and that night burial party flung
me into trench, and was covering me up
when / come TO, and told 'em what
thought OF 'em and walked Of. / kin lick
any man in this companyw
He had been shot IN the mouth, and the
bullet tore out three teeth and left hole
In his cheek as big as a walnut.
On the morning Of the battle OF Fair
Oaks we were just crawling out OF our
tents when the enemy rolled down on
Casey and drove him back. Our company
was badly demoralized, and Corporal
SCHENECTADY WAS trying 10 rally three or
four Of us behind a fallen tree, when a
shell exploded near US. i saw two or
three men 90 down, and among them was
the corporal. I'd have taken my affidavit
that one side Of his face was torn away.
We rallied after time aud regained our
ground, but vi hen night came we aband-
oned the field and fell back 10 make
new stand. Five men Of my company
agere reported on the rolls as killed IN ac-
ton aud among them was the corporal. A
week after the battle OF Malvern Hill he
walked into camp after the old fashion
and began:

dered that the most diverse articles are

DOG.LOvING CITIES.
A Classical Town Which Spends Abou
$4,000 per Year for Dog Collars.

A Classical Town Which Spends About
$4,000 per Year for Dog Collars.
Boston, as before remarked. is par
excellence the city for dogs. it being
said that dog of any pure breed
whatever will easily bring s75 to 800.
while in dog collars Boston spends
$4,000. New York can not show
such figures. San Francisco is now
spending $4,000 in dog collars and it
is estimated that within the next five
years this cisy will more than double
that amount. Philadelphia stands
high in the estimation of dog men. but
there the dogs patronized are of the
smaller breeds. In Minneapolis the
dog men find congenial city. 1t is
simply overrun with dogs-curs and
good dogs-and the peculiarly of the
townspeOple of Minneapolis is that
they all want their dogs collared. Chi
cago. too. shows well. spending great
deal of money in dogs and on their
collars. The much-vaunted St. Louis
is spoken of in disparaging terms.
The people of st. Louis are 10th TO
part with dollars for dogs and much
less so for collars, while Denver. for
its small size. is mentioned i'm terms of
respectful admiration. Kansas City.
Mo-, is liberal in purchase. and it is
expected that within few years there
will be larger purchases there than in
St. Louis. The cities which spend
most in dogs and dog-collars are in
this order: Boston. Philadelphia, New
York, Chicago, San Francisco. St.
Louis, Cincinnati and Hartford. But
fashion springs in New York, from
New York come the rules which gov
ern the style. for New York are eS-
pecially manufactured the latest novel;
ties. and when the New York dudine
declares that the best kind of slip
should be made of silk and of color
to suit her gloves. Boston and Phila-
delphia meekly bow their heads to the
edict. The South does not spend any
thing in dogs and their adOrnments.
The agents of dogs goods, however.
have gone through the various States,
determined to push their wares, and
have repeatedly returned discontinued.
New Orleans once did take q languid
interest in bell-decOrated dog-collars,
but it speedily died out. In San Fran
cisco the demand is for novelty and
small collars. San Francisco does not
care for New York ideas, but likes
something new and altogether distinct
from the wares of the preceding years,
so that manufacturers have to be es-
pecially careful in catering to this de-
Francisco Chronicle.
