The elder Mr. Kelly and his wife reside in
Fostoria Ohio.

A FINE CLIMATE.
We may truthfully say that San Antonio
enjoys more fine days during the year than
any other city on the continent. If the read
er will cast his or her eyes upwards you will
discover the deepest blue sky in the world
and our sunsets are glorious. The weather
is actually never so severe but what our peo-
ple might ).>e out for pleasure or business
eveiy day of the year. Then what is it that
interferes with our perfect content and happi-
ness?
When people get together in a city in order
to be healthy and comfortable a large outlay
of money is required.
The continuous traffic and travel over the
streets requires that they be paved with some
durable clean material or else they become
unsightly and impassable.
The dirt and filth of a city must be dis-
posed of in some speedy way or else it will
dispose of the people.
A river and irrigating ditches are very
handy to dump dirt into but as the city
grows larger these natural sewers Will begin
to stink.
Sewerage is necessary in all towns of over
20000 people. Otherwise no matter how fine
the climate the people will be afflicted with
malarious diseases.
In the occupation of business people forget
that recreation is also necessary. What is a
fine climate worth if there is not a pleasant
drive or walk in or about the city ?
Nature left to herself makes all things to
harmonize and in the cour«e of years com-
pletely obliterates the scars made by thought-
less man ; but when a city is started in a lovely
natural situation of vale and hill of forest
and river unless art is summoned to the res-
cue all beauty and natural loveliness is de-
stroyed. Our old city as it was twenty years
ago furnished a pleasing picture—it was a
quaint old place and its adobe buildings and
old ruins accorded well with its surroundings.
But now we are aspiring to be a modern city
and things must be made to harmonize. A
city is a costly affair—it either costs life o r
money. A dirty city is maintained at the cost
of human lives; a clean city at the cost of the
people's money.
Climate won’t save us much longer. That's
what we are getting at. Our city government
must adopt a policy in accordance with the
necessity of the times.

LAREDO LETTER.
Laredo Nov 18 1882.
Evening Light
This morning George Baseoi made an as-
signmeni of his stock of groceries etc. to
Mr. Brin the deputy sheriff it is reported
that Mr. Baseoi’s son in-law Ygnacio Fer-
nandes jumped the country with all the cash
on hand.
Mr. P. S. Babcock was greatly mortified at
the telegram that was in the Evening Light
in regard to his being some $BOO behind with
his performers. He says he was only $lOO
behind; he wants the mistake correctedwhich
I think is due to him. Mr. Babcock says he
will be able in a few days to re-open his
show and pay all indebtedness.
Last night a pair of runaway horses escaped
from Little Johnny Cotneford Tonko was
driving the hack; little damage was done to
the hack. Laredo is one of the greatest hack
towns in the state.
1 here are several race horse men and horses
in the city to train their stock for the coming
Feista. a fine race course will be arranged for
the contest of fast stock. I understand large
purses will be offered. The city is full of
stra-g- rs from all parts of the country and
times are lively now. It won’t be but a few
weeks before we will have an election here
for city officers. George Lockmar our pres-
ent assistant marshal says he will have to
ship for San Antonio as he thinks that the
winter will be milder there than here after the
election.
It is reported that Major Ochiltree will be
in the city in a few days. It is fearful cold
here at present. Great preparations are be-
ing made on the Feista grounds several
buildings are being built. f. L.
“Governor Roberts has secured the
chancellorship of the law department of the
state university. We congratulate him and
express our entire satisfaction at the choice of
the 1 egents.”—[Houston Post.
What is the use of playing toady; you know
that he is unfit for the position and you know
that his appointment is of his own creation
and is a sort of pension on the part of the
democracy of the state. If we have to pen-
sion these old spavined wind-broken string-
halted democratic office-seekers let us do it
directly from the state cash balance and not
afflict the youth of Texas with their drivlings
and imbicility and questionable habits. One
consolation it will be many a long day before
this university becomes a “capstone” as the
Statesman calls it.

From the Syrneiise Courier.
“Whew how she did fly along” said a
dust covered passenger as he alighted at the
Central depot at 3:55 o’clock yesterday af-
ternoon from the limited express west bound.
“I never rode «o fast in my life where’s the
conductor. I want to shake hands with him.
I had an engagement in this city at 4 o’clock
and thought when we left Albany about forty
minutes late that I would not see Syracuse
until about 5 o’clock. Here we are though
safe and sound and not yet 4 o’clock.” Just
then Conductor Hughes came along and with
smiling countenance stated that the run be-
tween Albany and this city a distance
of 150 miles had been made in
iSo minutes including stops. He continued :
“We left Albany at 12:56 just thirty-six min-
utes behind time. Ed Kennard was at the
throttle and engine 291 just darted over the
road as she did before. As the train rolled
into Syracuse my watch indicated just 3:35
o’clock only five minutes behind regular
schedule time having gained thirty-one min-
utes since we left Albany. It’s a good run
and I feel proud of it.” ‘'All aboard” cried
the conductor who relieves Mr. Hughes and
the train was soon lost sight of. Conductor
Hughes continued as the train started off “I
guess she’ll make up the other five minutes
before she reaches Rochester.” The run in
question has seldom been beaten and was
the topic of conversation among railroad men
last evening.
“Fun in a Boarding School.’’
“Fun in a Boarding School” was on the
boards at Turner Hall last evening. As a
play it is not worthy a thought unless it be
one of strong condemnation. It is merely a
framework for the introduction of more pleas-
ing features. John E. Ince earned applause
by his rendition of Sergt. Buzfuzz’ speech as
reported in Pickwick papers and Miss Lisetta
Ellani Miss T. Newcomb Miss E. Jone*
and Charlie Allison received encomiums for
their singing Miss Ellani charmed the en-
tire audience. She has a pleasing voice
uhTh reminds one of Minnie Palmer’s. Be-
sides she is pretty has such a neat little fo it
and well rounded ankle that her male auditors
become captive to her at once and being of
the petite or<’er. needs nothing more to til her
f i girls’ parts. “Fun in a Boarding School”
