As A strictly farm and stock Journsl we don't know of any paper that Is mere valua ble, or fills the bill so completely as the Texas Farm and Ranch, published by Me in. Hol land & Knox, of Austin. The New Orleans Picayune ssyi, "Senator L. Q C. Lamar does all he can to encourage women workers. Whenever he can Qive cler ical woik to a woman he invariably docs so, and pars her well for it, too," -on which the New York Times calls him "a jjallint South ern Senator." As will be seen elsewhere this issue of the Light is illustrated. It gives a very fair idea of the steady growth of the paper, and the im provements made in order to keep peace with tic times. The Lioht Is growing with the city, and we shall at all times endeavor to make it a true representative' of San Anto nio's best interests. The Washington Republican publishes the following about the representative from the Galveston district: "Since Tom Ochiltree has been in London most of the bars In that city have displayed the legend, 'American drinks sold here,' and they say that when the Texas Statesman goes out for a stroll around the block there is do knowing when he may be back," The Houston Age says : "Texas elites are all noted for the grace, refinement and beauty of their ladies. Out Houston Is conceded to hold the first place. It is difficult to decide between Waco and Austin for the second place. And Galveston, San Antonio, Dallas and Fort Worth have about equal claims to the honor of the third place." Whereupon the Galveston News asks : "Is Uncle Daniel playing the masher among the belles of the Bayou city!" A new organization for the purpose of pro moting social purity has been teamed in Eng land, and the obligation is : "I. To treat all women with respect and endeavor to protect them from wrong and degradation. 2. To endeavor to put down all indecent language and coarse jests. 3. To maintain the law of purity as equally binding on man and woman. 4. To endeavor to spread' these principles among my companions, and to try and help my younger brothers. 5. To use every possi ble means to fulfill the command, 'Keep thy self pure.' " The Galveston Print says: "Some one in Palestine asked Major Penn, the evangelist, if he intended to hold a meeting in the City of San Antonio soon, when he replied: "No; the weather Is too hot to storm the citadel ef the devil." We hope Brother Tenn did not make the remark quoted above. The Light has too much respect for the cause in which he professes to labor to believe he did give ut terance to it. San Antonio, no doubt, as does every other city, offers a fine field for laborers in the moral vineyard, but whether the city is g od or bad, be has no occasion to give utter ance. lo surh a wholesale slander, "What Is everybody's business is nobody's business," Is a trite saying, and particularly so, as regards the Alamo building, and the steps that should be taken to fitly honor the heroes whose blood made it the most historic spot in the State. The following words of censure on the subject are from the Galveston Print 1 "The grand old Alamo at Sin An tonio, which became the properly ot the State through the boundless liberality of our last Legislature, stands neglected as it did before, the Legislature assuming that the State csn afford to neglect it as she does other things. The bones of the dead heroes. who fell within the Alamo have laid beneath Texas soil with out stone or shaft to mark the spot for 47 long years, which has been a standing dis grace to the State." Undik the head of "How two great men acted," the St. Louis Chronicle of Monday says : "There was a pritty general revival of Sunday observance throu hout Missouri yesterday, and even in the city of Washington the sacred quality of the day was not for gotten. President Arthur has been a pretty good Sunday traveler In his time, but In de ference to Christian sentiment he postponed his departure for the Yellowstone from yester day until this morning. Strange lo tell, Gov ernor Tom Crittenden, who caused a regular blue Sunday to be enforced in St. Louis, spent the morning attending heathen service in a Mormon tabernacle in Salt Lake, and was alterwards presented to Satan's chief saint, President John Taylor. Then Governor Tom got aboard a railroad car and started for California. This looks bad for the Governor." The causes for the telegraphers' strike are quite plainly shown in the following: "It does appear that, considering the character of their woik and the number of laboring hours, the telegraph operators are poorly and Inade quately paid. In New Yotk good bricklayers get $3 so to $4 a day ; plumbers, plasterers, cutters for tailors and barkeepers the same; carpenters $2 50 to $3 $0; shoemakers the same. Yet the highest salary paid a skilled telegraph operator in New York is $So a month and the average wages Is $53. An operator's work Is not ordinary labor; It Is to a certain extent brain work rather than hard work. But that great and grinding monopoly the Western Union, must pay their stock holders their usual heavy dividends, and to do this wages muit be kept down at the minimum standard, while charges for messages are at the highest notch." Tin drift of public sentiment, as reflected In the newspapers, shows that the vote in fa vor of the proposed constitutional amend ments will be in a great majority. The amendments provide that the public schools shall be supported for a period of not less than six months in a year, and the school tax on property shall not exceed 20 cents on $100 worth of property. This section of the amend ment passed both houses of the State Legis lature with great unanimity, and represents the combined labor of Senators and Repre sentative!, and If carried will make the school laws of the Slate much more effective and sat isfactory. On this subj-ct the Ilrcnham Ban ner truly says : "The Democracy of Texas, in convention assembled, pledged itself to give the Slate an efficient system of free schools; the Republicans want an efficient s)stem; there is no politics in the school ques tion; all stand on common ground, all should vote for the amendments." So Do We. From the Laramie ltoouieranff. An old adage says: "A man who cannot mind his own business Is not In be trusted with the King's." That depends, of course; but we prefer aces. Cause Enough. A continued story in an amateur journal opens as follows : "Will you tell me where my collar button 1st" "Never I" "Then you must die 1" N. Y. Journal. The Nticleotisof a Story Teller. "Well," remarked a woman in a New Eng land village, talking to her summer boarders about a neighbor, "she's the greatest natural liar I ever saw, and I've often thought if she'd only had a first-class education In her youth what an author she'd a made before this I" lloston Transcript. A Small Loss. A man who never has money enough cn hand to pay his bills bought a pair of boots on credit. "How much are they t" "Five dollars if you buy on credit, as usual, $10 if you pay cash down," "How is that?" "Veil, you see," said 'the simple minded shoemaker, "Ven I sells on credit I know It vas a dead loss, so I makes the loss as schmall as possible." General Ord's Body, Havana, August 2. The body of Major General Ord will, according to instructions received from the United States, be deposited in the De Profundis hall of the cemetery until cooler weather sets In, when it will be sent North. The steamer City of Merida, which left to-day for New York, had upon her ar rival here, from Vera Cruz, 10 of her crew sick with yellow fever. Two, who were dangerously sick, were sent to a private in firmary. Colored Education, Nashville, August 2. Dr. Alticus G. Haygood, agent of the John F. Slater educa tional fund, to-day, at the Monteagle Sunday school assembly, on the Cumberland moun tains, delivered an able address on the educa tion of the negro. It is the strongest appeal' for the cause of the education of the colored race, based on the necessities of morals and good citizenship, sympathy and Christian duty, yet delivered by a Southern speaker He stated as a probable question, that every child, white and black, should have from his parents, or from the Government, an equal chance for an elementary education in the common schools, which, to be efficient and reach these, mustbe allied by the Government. The President's Train, Salem, August 2. On board the Presi dent's Irain, 9:40 a, m. A special train con taining President Arthur and his party rolled out ol Ihe Louisville. New Albany and Chi cago drpit, at Louisville, half an hour late, and after crossing the bridge which spans Ihe Ohio river at JeffersDnville, was soon speed ing along at a quick pace, under the foot-hills of Southern Indiana. The leave-taking which the President had of Louisville was In a measure Informal, al though a great concourse had congregated ab-jut the depot to give him an early morning send-off, and a gaily uniformed band of the Louisville Legion was on hand to discourse "Hail to the Chief," as the Presidential party entered the railroad depot. This musi cal detachment also accompanied the President to Chicago, and the special train is decked out in royal fashion, and he engine Is beflagged and beribboned almost beyond Its original semblance. The decora lions extend to the three splendid coaches and dining car which make up the train. Under the circumstances there could be no mistaking the Identity rf the special to the great crowds which collected at all the way stations to witness Its flying passage. The fatty on board was made up as follows I resident Arthur, Secretaries Lincoln, Gra ham and Folger, Senator Bayard, Senator Beck, of Kentucky, and the representatives of the press. General Sheridan and parly returned to Chicago last night. The transit of the special had evidently been well adve:iiseu, as was shown by the great crowds. Every crossing had its quota of spectators, and the rail fence on the outiklrts of some ef the villages In the lower portion of the State, were liberally decorated with natives. Owing to delay In starting, no stop was made after leaving New Albany un til Salem was reached, and the train passed through all Intervening villages at a flying rush. No place appeared so modest that it failed to possess a piece of ordnance and accompanying the cheering of the assembled crowds, was the detonation of the artillery. The President, throughout the early portion ol the run, sought seclusion in his coach and failed to make his appearance, except on the platform. Accompanying the calls made lor the President. At nearly all of the Indiana stations a disposition was evinced by the crowds for a look at Secretary Grcsham, and there were repeated and hearty calls for that gentleman, It had been the original Intention to make a short stay at all the leading stations, but owing to delay In getting off at Louisville, and the desire to reach Chicago on lime, the plan was aban doned. The special has the exclusive right-of-way, all other trains being side-tracked to await its coming, and the prospect now Is that Chicago will be reached at 7 o'clock this evening, on schedule lime.
