A NEW SONG ON AN OLD PLAN.
A man of bosatings vain and loud
Is like a huge but flimsy cloud;
And when the clouds in pieces fly,
.They're like the suits you often buy;
And when you've bought such wretched srdts,
You feel year heart sink in your boots;
nd when you wish your heart to cheer,
The Tower handy does appear;
4 And when the Tower's gash you wear,
You'll wish you always had gone there.

THE SCARECROW.
One morning sly, ere scarce the sky
The sun began to tinge,
I started out, intent to scout
The woods which round did fringe
The stood expanse of ripening grain,
latch grew before me on a plain.
When on said plain of ripening grain,
Suspended by a pole,
Garments quite new did meet my view,
Upon a rising knoll,
Which proved a snit of bad style clothes,
Placed there to frighten off the crows.
Whilein the field which there did yield,
Its crop of yellow corn, .
With radiant smile and naacseD in wrras,
Toward me came that morn,
A man whose manner plainly told
That lie in fee the farm did hold.
Said I, my friend, while I extend,
With friendliness my hand;
'spoSe that you, if Ijudge gm*,
Arelowner of this land.
And as his bright blue eye did glow,
He qtdck replied, yes, sir, that's so,
"that's so," I'd like to know,
Why you have used wsw clothes
To dear a pole upon a knoll,
To frighten off the crows.
For it to me doth strange appear,
That any man should act so queer.
Well, now, said he, speaking to me,
It may seem quite absurd;
But the suit there I bought to wear,
Ere of the ..Sysis" rd heard;
But aS my neighbors had, I found.
Been dressing there for miles around,
I felt more proud and joined the crowd
Then moving to that mart,
And now appear ia this suit here,
So perfect in each part.
A nd decked the man of straw with those,
That he might frighten off the crows.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 16, 1866.
WASTE IN PAINTING.
In alluding to the great expenditure of
money in printing public documents,
especial allusion might have been made
to the documents that come from the
Agricultural Department. Several mem
bers of Congress have lately favored us
with copies of a big volume, of nearly
700 pages, which is called the " Report
of the Commissioner of Agriculture for
1864." It has bad a long period of ges-
tation—thirteen months—and we do no
think that it was worth the labor, either
to the bureau of agriculture or to the
nation. One might almost as wisely
hunt up an agricultural report among
the ruins of Pompeii, and have it trans
lated and printed at the Government
expense.
The report proper, of Commissioner
Newton, fills only twelve pages. But he
appends a mass of reports and letters
from all parts of the world and on nearly
every conceivable subject. If we were
to write a long essay on Newspapers and
send it to the agricultural bureau, it
would have a pretty fair chance •of
coming out in one of the annual reports,
and probably with some pretty wood
cuts. One Mr. West, of Georg4tow'n
indeed, who wrote a long and pleasant
article on Fresh and Salt water Aquaria,
has had the , good fortune to have it
printed in the Report, and the important
relation of these nice toys to agriculture
is thus officially established. Mr. West
quotes poetry and makes altogether a
lively contribution to Friend Newton's
annual. But does the appropriation of
money for the Agricultural Bureau con
template the printing of pretty maga
zine articles about aquaria? Fully three
fourths of the contents of this volume
might have been left out, and the world
• would have been no les"gmwise.
Of this big and costly volume no less
than one hundred and sixty-four thou
sand volumes were printed. If one
thousand of them should be read thor
oughly, it will be a wonder. The other
hundred and sixty-three thousand, after
being carried at Uncle Sam's expense all
over the Union, will lie on the desks of
editors, like. ours, waiting for some
besotted or insane creature to carry them
off: or they will be stowed away in dark
cellars, garrets or closets, or will,find
their way to the grocers for wrapping
paper, or to the paper makers to be
ground up and made into
. ..new paper to
be used for new agricultural reports,
which:will, in their turn, have the same
fate. We shall probably, in about
another year, be favored with a sight of
thp'report fot 1865, printed on paper
made of the pulp of the identical report
that is now before us.
The propOsed appropriation. fol the
Agricultural Department, for the next
fiscal year, is $149,100. This does not
include the printing of the report. That
will come under the expenses of public
printing, the appropriation for which is
$1,268,208. This amount could, we
really believe, be cut down one half,
and the public would not
feel any deprivation. Therg - are cords
upon 'cords of Agricultural Reports,
Patent Office Reports and other docu
ments that no one ever looks into. Why
should there be a waste of at least half a
million of dollars for printing a super
fluous quantity of such rubbish? Practi
cal farmers, for whom the Agricultural
Reports are:intended,can make little use
of them. Most of them, who have any
intelligence, subscribe for a good agri
cultural weekly newspaper, and thus
keep themselves posted on the progress
of agriculture. A' stale volume of essays
and reports is of no use to them, and a
check ought to be put upon the extrava
gance of printing them. Paper is dear;
the Government has to pay a great deal
for that on which it prints the bonds
with which it pays its printing and other
bills. Why should it help 'to keep up
the price for individual consumers by
wasting so much in useless Agricultural,
Patent Qfrace and other ,public docu
ments?
Philadelphia used to be a model city.
Well paved, well lighted, well cleaned,
well watered, Philadelphia was the
pride of her citizens and the admiration
of such portions of the "rest of man
kind" as were privileged to sojourn with
in her borders. Our Waterworks were the
simplest and most efficient; our Gas
Works the largest and the best in the
country. The progresswhich was made
in raising Philadelphia to the first rank
of American cities was steady and rapid,
and in no part of the United States could
the same amount of comfort in living be
enjoyed for the same expenditure of
money. But this progress has been gra
dually arrested. Carelessness and cor
ruption, official indifference and politi
cal intrigue have encroached step by
step upon many of the nepartments of
public service, until Philadelphia is lit
tle, if any, better than New York, and
growing worse every day.
Just now there is a very large screw
loose in the Gas Department, and in
more senses than one, the public needs
light. We need material light. The
Gas Committee have lately been doctor
ing the street lamps, and have succeeded
so well, that they have reduced the
light to a degree of illuminationimuch
below that of the old oil lamps. Even
this feeble attempt to render the dark
ness visible is left apparently to the
convenience of irresponsible lamp
lighters, who make their rounds very
much at their own pleasure. In the
depth of winter, and at a time when
there is unusual danger from lawlessness
and depredation, the light, which should
have been, if possible, increased, has
been diminished,until one might almost
think that we were living in those
happy days of merry England, a hun
dred years ago, when gentlemen took to
the road for their amusement, and high
way robbery was deemedan exhilarating
and fashionable pursuit. We do not
suppose that the gentlemen of our Gas
Committees are directly concerned in
garroting or robbing us, but they are
certainly doing good service to those
who do live by such evil practices.
If this were the whole evil, it would
be bad enough, but it is only one feature
of it. We are not only deprived of our
needful supply of light, but we are made
to pay for doing without it. On every
side we hear the complaint of small gas
light and large gas bills. As the light

diminishes, the bills increase, and a long
suffering public is waxingvery impatient
to know the reason why. Scientific
me* tell us that the quality of the gas
is 'inferior to anything ever produced
during Mr. Cresson's superintendence
of the Gas Works, and that consequently
we are compelled to use double the
quantity to produce the same amount of
light. And this is abundantly proved
by reference to the consumption of gas
in numerous large establishments.
From several of these we have received
statements that, with no increase of
burners or in the time of consumption,
their bills have fully doubled within the
last few months. With all the burdens
that our community have to bear and do
cheerfully bear, it is hard to have a tax
like this added. Can we not have more

light upon the mysterious increase of our
gas bills. At present rates candles and
kerosene are a great deal brighter and
cheaper than the product of the much
vaunted Gas Works of Philadelphia.
THE WORKHOUSE QUESTION IN ENG
LAND.
Some time since a daring editor or
reporter of the London Pall Mall
Gazette clothed himself in rags and
presented himself at the, door of a
London Workhduse. He asked for a
night's lodging as a "casual," and being
admitted, passed a dismal night in a
shed, together with about fifty forlorn
wretches, some of whom were decent,
but the great majority being the vilest
of the scum of the metropolis. He was
treated to a bath before retiring, and his
clothes, to the last stitch, were taken
from him, and in order to reach his
strawbed he had to cross an open yard
in bare feet, with nothing but a rug
on him! As the night was diear and
cold this must have been a pleasant
journey. During almost the entiro
night the shed was a scene of confusion,
blasphemy and obscenity mingling in
horrid accord. If the narrative is true
it shows a shocking state of affairs in the
London workhouses, particularly as the
one visited was said to be a favorable
specimen.
A Workhouse inspector has published
a card, stating that the use of the shed
was only temporaxy, and that the
accommodations generally were much
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN : PHILADELPHIA, - IRIDAY-, FEBRUARY 16, -1866.
better; but the i3entiment ' of - Londoners
generally is to the effect that the abuses
described do exist. A letter from En
gland, of recent date, says that it is Tu.-
mored the author of the heroic visit to the
Workhouse, and of the wonderful sketch
and picture which have produced almost
a revolution, is neither—as has been
freely conjectured—Mr. Charles Dick
ens, Mr. Anthony Trollope, or Mr.
Kingsley, but a young man hitherto
unknown to fame, albeit the writer of
some clever articles, whose name` is
Greenwood. He is the younger brother
of a Mr. Greenwood well known in
literary circles as a potent authority in
the publishing firm of Smith, Elder &
Co., and the reputed editor of the Pall
Mall Gazelle.
COKER'S PARLOR CONCERT.—The large
drawing-rooms of one of our largest Chest
nut street residences were crowded last
night with a select and fashionable audi
ence, who enjoyed the treat of a semi.
private concert by Master Richard Coker.
This astonishing young vocalist was in fine
voice and executed the most difficult and
trying passages of his various pieces in
such admirable style and with such genuine
enthusiasm as to surprise and delight all
who heard him. His performances of
"Robert, toi que faimei" "// Bacio," and
Carlotta Patti's song "Dania di gioja," are
wonders of artistic skill and expression,
which render it very difficult to realize that
one is listening to a boy of fourteen and not
to a prima donna of the Italian Opera. He
also gave the splendid soprano solo from
"Elijah," "Hear ye, Israel," mastering its
difficulties with the utmost apparent ease,
while into his two ballads, "The First
Violet," and "Come live with me," he
threw an arch playfulness that _worked
terrible - havoc amongst the younger and
susceptible part of his audience. Master
Richard was admirably supported by Mr.
E. Giles of New York, who sang two capital
humorous songs in fine style, Mr. Um
stead, who gave "Sleep Well," and "Tar
Star of Glengary," with very good effect,
and Mr. I. L. Rice, our young pianist, who
is so rapidly rising into celebrity by hi:,
brilliant playing. Mr. J. A. Getze accom
panied Master Coker, with one of the
"Bradbury Square Grands," the fine tone,
of which were greatly admired by the
audience.
We heartily endorse the suggestion o:
one of our morning contemporaries, tha.
Master Coker should give a farewell c
cert at the Foyer of the Academy, before
leaving for Europe, which he does ou the
24th instant. It will probably be the last
opportunity for us to hear him, as
hi
soprano voice cannot be expected to las
beyond the present year, and be would
therefore be sure of a very fall house and a
Very warm welcome.
