The New Building for the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing.


The New York World of Friday last devoted
one editorial column to an argument against
the expediency of erecting in this city a fire.
p OOf building for the use of the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and other like
branches of the Treasury department. The
ticle shows much prejudice and little
Knowledge of the subject. Its demand for the
abOli ion of this Bureau is simply absurd,
when it is remembered that the Committee On
Banking and Currency of the House, after
ree months examination Of the subject, have
b. an overwhelming vote recently decided
that the interest of the Government requires
its maintenance. As this vo was not a par
tisan one, ii is apparent that the question Was
,teImined upon its merits, and the public
sentiment of the country acquieSces in its
wisdom.
This Bureau, at the close of the current ifs
cal year, will turn over unexpended to the
Treasury $4,000 of its appropriation, being
three -fOurths of the amount appropriated The
prof. OSitiOn is to take One-half of this saving
and erect with it in this city fire proof build
ing for the use of the Bureau and for other
purposes of the Trt aSury Department. The
presence in the Treasury building of the BIZ
reau OF Engraving and Printing has kept out
OF it several of the clerical bureaus belonging
to it. They now occupy rented buildings If
the new building be erected, they can be
brought within the Treasury, at an annual
saving of II 800, or the interest at per cent
on sl95,COO 1t would be easy to Introduce
economies into the business of engraving and
printing if in a BUILDING erected for its pur-
poses, which would more than realize the sum
necessary to pay the interest on the other
SlO5,OO, to say nothing of the advantages
which would be derived by the typographical
branch of the Treasury from being placed in
building erected for mechanical purposes
1t is clear that this building, at a cost of
100000, will have the rare advantage of prov
ing good investment to the government. We
understand that the Committee on Public
Buildings and Grounds of both houses have
agreed on the expediency of having such
building The Senate Committee proposes
as site for it, the high ground in the neigh
fUrhOOd the Agricultural Department. The
building is to be of brick, with neat front and
four stories in height.
The advantage to this city of the disburse-
ment OF that amount of money among the
1abOring classes will be. of course, direct and
our people will gladly welcome the passage of
the bill. We understand that it is likely to be
brought up for consideration in the Senate

In Your eye, il he's watching, my dear
And don't fatl to sew On lis huttonS,
And likewlse his clothes mend with care;
Don't tease him for money for shopping;
Don't rruwu when he acts Ike bear;
Don't tell him too often, my dcary.
That your poor head is aching with pain,
Lest he whisper way down IA his bosom,
"Oh ] wish were single again
Don't tell him that Mary the houscmaid,
And Aun, the obstreperous cook,
Refuse To receive YOUR suggestions
With even SO much rs a look
Don't tell HIM how very annoying
You often have found il to bc
10 bc told "a Get out Of the Kitchen,
And don't come a-botherns me-
But always seem cheerful and happy
And always look pleasant and gay;
Than frown there Is nothing more potent
In driving ones husband away.
And ihus you must ever Keep striving
You II lind il an excellent plan:
But whatever you do, dear, remember
That vuu husband Is only Il man.
