Translated from Eel Gallo" of Sunday
last.
A friend of ours told us that in GER
tain 'Fabrica de Blocks" in this city,
the workmen are daily losing something
without being able to find who the thief
is. They even carry off the dinner buck
cts, with their contents. Among so
many men you always find two classes of
intellect. Among them you h ave all
them so ''tattooed" that yon cannot tell
their color.
We have pro fitted by the vile enchant-
ment.
And bear our loss with christian forti-
tude.
Being holy week our empty tenement
VIII suffer less by faith and rectitude.

Enterprise or the EXPRESS.
To the San Antonio LIGHT.

10 the san AnLOnIO LIGHT.
AS an enterpriSing publisher of super
latiye ability, the Express is certainly en-
titled to the palm. First it appears with
a lot Of unauthorized rot, to the effect
that the attorneys" for the contestants
will go into the federal courts by quo war
ranto, on behalf Of all the county officers
except two-nOt one sentence of which is
accurate.
Next comes ludicrOuS disquisition,
purporting to be an interview with Geo.
Paschal, In which he is made to say silly
stuff, ad nauseam. about the constitution
and its contents, and which, IL fairly at
tributed to him, would entitle him TO the
rag, as the banner ass IF his profession.
The Express makes the lawyers of San
Antonio appear to be the rankest of min
compoops conceivable.
