The First Blue-Bird.

Whatever weight the hours have borne
Along the path of frost and snow,
The world Is never too fOrlorn
For birds To sing again; we know
That earliest buds will soon expand,
That spring is somewhere in the land,
For harki the blue-bird sings.
Somewhere the grass is green again,
The meadow mild with shower and sum
Out bud the trees, up starts the grain,
Through balmy woods the brook doth run,
II anywhere such things may be,
Then why not soon for thee and me.
For bark the blue-bird sings.
The world is old, the world is old,
But spring is ever fresh aud new;
No dream so fair, no hope so bold,
But some sweet day may find II true;
Who knows how soon that morn may rise
And MI US with a glad surprise?
For bark! the blue-bird sings.

SMUaGLER.-The stallion "Smuggler"
Is now a famous horse. The Turf,
Field and Farm recently said of him:
He is more steady this year than ever
before. He does not get tangled and
make those d~emoralizing breaks which
rendered him a failure in the circuit
campaign Of 1874 The heavy shoes
on his fore feet have been replaced by
lighter ones, and he seems to like the
change. At least with the light weights
he manifests less disposition to pace
than he did when each of his fore feet
was loaded with two pounds of iron.
That s.Smuggler" is a great horse
none will attempt to deny. He is a
converted PAGER, and therefore labors
under disadvantages which others
more fortunate do not have to contend
with. His early life was passed in OBJ
security, and his early work was of a
mental kind. He was raised on a farm,
in Kansas, and Is a half "scrub" and
half thoroughbred.

BILILNGSGATE IN THE CAM.
PAIGN.

1t can not be denied that a very large
share of billingsgate has already been
developed in the campaign. 1t is also
a noteworthy fact that this style of
"argument" is mainly confined to
one side. "Sham Reformer," "Slip-
perry Sam" and kindred epithets is the
manner in which the Republican or
gans refer to Governor Tilden. the
Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency. Slurring illusions of this
character are to be met with fifty times
a day by any one who is accustomed to
running through the Republican pa
pers, and yet in no single instance has
the gentleman assaulted been proven to
be other than one of the purest and
most upright men in the nation. In
marked contrast Mas been the course of
Democratic journals towards Governor
Hayes. We have yet to see in any
Democratic newspaper the first dis
courteous reference made to him. The
most that has been SAID againsC
Mr.. Hayes is that he is not
as fit a person for the Presidency as
Governor Tilden. This is fair and
honorable, and we are glad to see that
the Democratic press have thus far al
lowed the Republican organs to mo-
nopolize the coarse and meaningless
epithets of the campaign. The many
great issues involved in the contest are
certainly of sufficient Importance to
call for calm and digniied discussion.
The cause that must rely upon vilifica-
ton and personal abuse for a footing
before the people must be driven to
desperate straits indeed. We would
suggest TO our Republican contempor-
aries the propriety of sticking to the
bloody shirt"

THE STA TIE

The anvas in this State has not
opened very briskly on either side,
Something in the way of ratifying has
been done by both parties, and a few
clubs have been organized at various
places, but this is about the extent OF
campaign work to date. Nevada elects
this fall three presidential electors, one
Judge of the Supreme Court, n Con-
gressman, twelve Senators and fifty
Assem- ra,en. besides the usual
county officers. The Republican State
Convention is called to meet at Carson
on the 9th instant, and that of the
Democracy at Virginia City on the
18th. The preliminary steps for the
selection of delegates to the respective
conventions can not be much longer
delayed. The best method of choosing
State delegates is just now puzzling
both parties. The rule has been to
first hold the county conventions,
these bodies in TURF selecting the dele
gates to the State conventions. The
times being extremely hard, however,
there seems to be a disposition among
local candidates to avoid a long race.
The election takes place November
9TH. In small counties, like Eureka,
for instance, it is argued that four to
six weeks is ample time in which to
make the rounds. This being the state
of the case the greater part of
the local candidates are averse
to being trotted. out in advance
of the State Conventions. How to OBJ
viate these objections, and at the same
time give general satisfaction, are ques-
tions to which Central Committeeman
must address themselves. Two con
ventions, one for the election of dele
gates to the State Convention; the
other, at a later date, for the nominal
ton of county officers, would appear
to be the safer course to pursue. 1t
would hardly be the thing to elect both
State and county delegates at n and
the same time, as in that case the latter
would be compelled to remain " before
the public" longer than any ordinary
mortal could possibly endure, consid-
ering the mum Der of Burleigh drills
that would be brought to bear upon
them and the great amount of button
holing they would necessarily have to
submit to. The 0rmsby County Re-
publicans have ordered primaries for
the 10th inst. and their County Con-
vention for September 2. Both the
State and county delegates are to be
elected at the same time and places.
In Elko the Democratic Central Com
mittee assumed the responsibility of
appointing the delegates to the State
Convention, fixing the date of their
County Convention, we believe, in the
last week in September. The Repub-
lican Central Comm ittee of this county
held a meeting last night, but we have
not been advised of the result of their
deliberations. 1t is a fact, however,
that the political caldron has COM
menced to simmer, and within a few
weeks at most the sovereign people of
Nevada will find themselves in the
midst of the excitement which a Presi-
dental election invariably calls out.

SMALLPOX IN SAN FRANCISCO.

The spread of smallpox in the me-
tropolis has attained alarming pro-
portions, and the worst feature of the
scourge is its unprecedented fatality.
Our daily Geographic advices TEEN
with accounts of the frightful progress
of the malady. This mornings dis
patches, especially, contain facts on
this subject which are sufficient to
place the whole coast on the defensive
against the approach Of the pestilence.
In view of all these things, it is GER
tainly the part Of prudence for our
people to adopt such sanitary meas
ures as the best medical skill car de-
wise. Usually this loathsome disease
Is not fraught with such fatal conse
quences in the higher attitudes, more
particularly during the warm or sum-
mer months, but it is nevertheless in
keeping with the dictates of wisdom to
do whatever within us lies to prevent
its introduction in our midst. Among
the most efficient preventives is regu-
larity of diet and cleanliness of person,
Vaccination is another precautionary
measure that should not be neglected
by any one. The late flood having
swept the debris and filth from the big
canal passing through town, it is all
important that it be allowed to remain
clean. Persons should also see to it
that their premises are kept clear OF
all pestilential matter. We don't know
that there is any immediate cause for
alarm, but inasmuch as people are
constantly passing back and forth be-
tween here and San Francisco, it be-
hooves us, one and all, to be on the
alert to circumscribe the pestilence
should it by chance make its appear.

the week, between players GARNER,
S~lisson, Daley and Sexton, began at the
hall last night, when the two former
played a game of 600 points, French
carom, GARNER winning by 20 points.
Tonight Sexton and Daley play.
1t is expected that, in view of the eX-

nesses for the Government, Gaseous
Proctor, an employe of Kane &
O'Leary, wholesale liquor dealers, and
Jas. Walsh, an eX-employe Of the Bay
View distillery, have been spirited
away. The formers whereabouts is
not yet ascertaIned; the latter was ar
rested at Vallejo Friday last, and is
now at liberty on his W recogniz-
ance.
The smallpox question was dis
cussed in the Board of Supervisors
last night. DIR. Meares, Health Officer,
was i'll attendance and gave as his
opinion that the pest-house will oon
be overcrowded and more room re.
quired. Over 400 cases of smallpox
have been reported at the Health Of
fee, of which number 1S2 have been
sent to the hospital, of which So died.
There were ll3 cases sent to the small
pox hospital this month and IS last
week. Forty-seven deaths from
smallpox have been reported this
month. 1t is probable that additional
facilities will be provided for removing
patients.

that he was aware of the true nature
of the disease but criminally concealed
it. He was convicted and will be SEN
fenced tomorrow.
Vaccination at the Health Office stop
ped to-day, the supply of virus having
been entirely used up. The cases re-
ported daily increase in number, six
teen being reported yesterday, six of
whom were Cinnamon, and fourteen
this morning, all white. There were
six deaths yesterday. The present ar
rangements by which the Chinese are
furnished with a house exclusively
for their own use near the pest house,
has had a favorable effect in inducing
them to report cases in their quarters,
which have hitherto come to light only
in case death ensued.
