Why Printers Die Young.

A writer fully accounts for the reason
why printers die young, and why they
are continually tramping from place to
place in search of peace and-quietude.
He says that working for forty editors
and scores of authors, every one Of whom
is as sensitive as hornet, no wonder
printers die young, and only pachyder-
matous, mulish specimens, get their share
of life The writer wishes he could Of
fer himself as an awful example of the
perils which environ the man who med
dies with cold-type. A thoroughly
trained printer should have stepmother.
and then stepfather, and then should
have been bonnd out to tanner, and
then married a scolding wife. and lived
in smoky house and have had family
of babies afflicted with the collie. He
should have added to all this discipline
a thorough knowledge of science, law,
theology, languages, history and biogra-
ply. If in addition he has vicious
looking countenance and an amiable dis
position, he may stand some chance with
these authors and editors {; but the prob
abilities are, after all, that they will
worry. him to death. This picture will
have very depressing effect upon am
bilious boys who are anxious to learn the
"art preservative of all arts" The
picture, however, is tolerably correct

THE QUAKER GRAVEYARD.

BY DR.. WEIR MITCHELL.
Four straight brick walls, severely plain,
A quiet city square surround
A level space of nameless graves,
The Quakers' burial ground.
In gown of gray or coat of drab
They trod the common ways of life,
With passions held in sternest leash,
And hearts that knew no strife.
To yon grim meeting house they Jared,
With thoughts as sober as their speech,
To voiceless prayer, to songless praise,
To hear the elders preach.
Through quiet lengths of days they came,
With scarce change TO this repose;
Of all life's loveliness they took
The thorn without the rose.
But in the porch ard Ger the graves
Glad rings the southwark robins glee,
And sparrows fill the autumn air
With merry mutiny.
While on the graves of drab and gray
The red and gold of autumn lie,
And willful nature decks the sod
In gentlest mockery.

not see how he could have helped this tru-
antage was measurably compelled During
this prolonged absence the very kindest and
most generous of friends $500 volunteer aids
whose services have been wholly gratuitous-
have supplied the editorial 'hook' with an
abundance of the best and most acceptable
copy Certainly there are due for all this
kindness some very hearty thanks, There is
profound sense of obligation toward each of
these gentlemen; but if We neglectedto thank
Mr.. Kelly by name We should seem guilty of
being tmid about making deserved distinC-.
ton in favor of one who has served all these
weeks with a most constant and disinterested
faithfulness. Himself made it possible for
the editor to spend nearly two months and
half in California seeking for better condi-
ton of bodily health. Words are not entirely
empty; and as the editor returns to his ex-
acting duties this much is due to Mr.. Kelly
and all concerned

OUR STATE LIBRARY.

Yesterday in search of an item we strolIed
into the State Library, where Miss HOdgkin-
son, the efficient Librarian, has of late been
commercially industrious III putting the new
books in position and things generally i'll
ship-shape. When we last visited the Libra
nv. few weeks since, we found kasominers,
wood butchers and paint -slngers masters of
the situation, as it were. The interior had a
literary look, it is true, but We should have
spelled the word with an additional cOnso-
nant t. Now the army of artisans, after the
manner of the noiseess Arab, have stolen
away, and comparative peace reigns in this
quarter The new miscellaneous books,
numbering about one thousand volumes, and
purchased a short time ago in the East, are in
place. The purchase was made through Little,
Brown & Co., and embraces some of the
rarest and most elegantly gotten up tones of
this country or England In a hurried glance
over the library shelves we found the works
of Bacon, Burnett, Bolingbroke, the Habits,
Sam johnson, Carlisle, Ranke, Addison,
Montaigne, Horace Walpole, complete and
glistening in shining calf and the brightest of
gold; all of the old English novelists, Smollett,
Fielding, Richardson and that old band of
broad jokers over whose smut we deprecating-
ly pondered, but rather enjoyed it the while.
Among the late additions to the State Libra
ry, of which every citizen of Nevada ought to
and undoubtedly does feel proud, are bound
of London Punch extending from
l841 to 1874, period of thirty three years,
and made dazzingly bright by Thackeray,
Jerrold, and other English wits, humorists
and satirists, whose earliest and perhaps best
efforts Ornamented Punchs columns in those |
days. The State Library is redolent of new
paint and fresh granting, has carpets of
unique patterns and fine of texture, and alto
5ether it is coy and profitable place to
spend as much time as we can afford to in |
these matter-of- fact days. We had almost |
forgotten, but will now mention it in con-
,luding paragraph to this item, that the new
apartment, recently added to the Library &C
is designed for the law books

EXPENSIVE GAME.-Ah Sin, Celestial ma
nipulatOr of saucepans in an uptown restau-
rant, was yesterday arrested by officer Dun
can for violation of the game law. ITO re-
leve the anxious mind, we will state that All
Sin had not been aiding or abetting in game
Of tam He was found with half-dozen
quails on or about his person, contrary to the
statute, etc. Officer Duncan placed his lily
white hand upon the bronzed arm of All Sin,
who at glance realized that he was hs'n,
and not relishing the idea of a term in prison,
he appeared at the Inner Temple, and ad-
dressed His Honor, Justice Witherell, briefly
and to the effect that he was guilty as charged
Considering All Sin extreme youth, his guile
less ways, and his probable ignorance of the
Nevada statute, the Justice ladled him out a
comparatively small dose in the shape of a
line of twenty-seven dollars and half,
which was promptly paid The Chinaman, it
appears, bought the quails from an Indian,
which smacks somewhat strongly of a job put
up by MIR. Lo on his natural but unsupecting
enemy. The game was of course confscated.
All Sin claims to have given the Indian one
dollar for the birds, and in addition paid
fine of twenty seven dollars and one half,
making the quails each cost four dollars and
seventy-hvc cents--a somewhat expensive |
game luxury We've done better at the |

THE ORMSBY HOUSE ILLUSTRATED

The San Francisco Spirit of the Times of
Saturday contains an illustrated sketch of the
Ormsby House, as it was originally, as it sub
sequently grew and as in the present time it
is. The cut is of the width of the columns
of the Spirit, the central picture (of the pres
ent establishment, being fanked on either
side by views of the old house as it stood in
the early days. Quite in keeping with all
this is very fair picture of Hank Monk; as
the wood engravings are accompanied by
short history of the Ormsby House and the
rise and progress of Carson City. Monks
fame as the Jehu who drove Horace Greely's
stage coach mules over the mountains to
Plaacerville is faithfully perpetuated. This
effective and well conceived advertisement of
his house does credit to the enterprising spirit
of Mr. John T. Pantlind, who seems to have
more of the true genius of model landlord
than is often met with.

that these young Washoes might have found
more appropriate place 'to play keeps
than under the drippings of the Presbyterian
sanctuary; but where ignorance is bliss it is
folly to expect to know everything.
THE WEATHER-SundaVw was surgestiyely
April-like, showers and sunshine alternating
throughout the day. The elements were as

was rain; then a CLEAN of sunshine more
rain ; less sunshine and so on to the end of
a varied chapter of queer weather. We

not at the CLEANS of sunshine; but the wealth
