The Schoolma'am's Raise.

Year by year. and day by day,
She lived In hope of higher pay,
She saw the city prosp' rous grow,
sWtb saw h~st me e. schGo house overGw Small
And patiently she taught them all
And as the seasons swiftly flew,
She sometimes taught their children, too;
Through weary months of busy days,
The schoolma'am hoped
To get raise.
She did all that woman could,
Her arguments We're sound and good;
She drew petitions UP so fine
That all the people ran to sign;
The common council all agreed
That she should have 1t, yes, indeed
The board of education made
Long, smiling promises of aid;
While out of all the tangled maze,
The schoolma'am hoped
To get raise.
At last it seemed the way was cleared,
At last the needed funds appeared,
Just how these funds should be applied,
Raise by experience, or by grade!
So still they wavered and delayed,
They weeded out a girl or two.
Who didn't have enough to do,
These, surely, were the halcyon days
The schoolma am hoped
To get raise.
But wary decades came and went,
Until her faithful life was spent,
And now across her lonely grave
The long, green grasses gently wave;
Her tombstone, In Its ancient place,
Stands up. yet lies upon Its faco,
For. though 1t says she has gone higher,
I know her soul must still aspire,
And lingering, long for Gabriel's days,
When every schoolma'am

San Francisco is to be without lights
on Its streets for third Of the time
during the next four months. This de-
pendence on the moon Is not a new
thing in San Francisco, the provisions
Of the contract with the lighting COM
parry emitting lights on the two nights
preceding and the two nights following
the full moon, regardless it appears, of
the possible contingency of the moon
being obscured by clouds. The extern
sion Of the monthly period Of darkness
for four months to six days preceding
and four days following the full of the
moon is made necessary by an unwise
distribution of the appropriation for
lights and a threatened deficiency 1t
was recognized by the supervisors that
unlighted streets would be boon to
burglars and thieves, and several other
expedients were proposed, one provid-
ing for a temporary reduction in the
number of lights. But the politicians
on the board feared to discriminate,
and the idea to "turn off all the lights
or none" carried the day.

The Atlanta Constitution combats
the position that southern cotton spin
ners receive less wages than those of
the North. 1t has to admit, Of course,
that the rate of wages is lower in its
section, but 1t takes the ground that
steadiness of employment in the South
more than makes up the difference.
There is, as rule, 1t claims, no sus-
pension Of work there, and no half or
quarter time. The effect is that, at the
end Of year, the southern operative
has received more money for his labor
than the northern one.
V An interesting and benevolent bill in
troduced by southern representative
in congress provides that the secretary
Of the treasury be authorized to dis
tribute to the treasurer Of each domes-
tic public authority, such as States,
counties and municipalities, including
the territories and the District of Co.
lumbia, the sum of $40 per capita per
annum, according to the next preceding
national census, until otherwise ordered
by congress, in order that the said
public authorities may pay their debts
and current expenses without any local
taxation.
