Government Prioting Offce.

The Washington correspondent of the
/ Chicago Tribune says: "Mr. Rounds
of Chicago, is here, and his friends
went to see the President in the matter
of the position of Government Printer
for which he is an applicant. 1t is not
known whether the President contem-
plates appointing successor Of Mr..
Defrees, the present Public Printer, but,
in the event that he should do SO, there
is much reason to think that Mr..
Rounds will receive the appointment.
he certainly has very much stronger
support than any other candidate who
has been named or who is likely to be
named. He has the Endorsement of
nearly all the public men Of the North
west, and is supported by seven hun
dred newspapers, and has it to his adj
vantage that he has practical personal
knowledge of every branch of printing
which would come under his super
vision as Government Printer. There
is no particular reason except the honor,
why any person should aspire to be
Government Printer, as the salary is
comparatively small audit bond large.
Mr.. Defrees will not willingly retire, as
he feels the need of the slender income
which the office affords. He has a
good many strong friends, but certainly
not among the Stalwarts, and some of
his rather profound utterances relative
to General Grant are being used to his
by some Of the candidates,
not Mr.. Rounds. The only other cam
didate thus far who has made any
special effort to secure the place is Mr..
Oyster, who has for years been in
charge of the printing Of the Congress
si0nat Record. He is from Pennsyl-
vania, and has the endorsement, it is
said, of some of tho Pennsylvania poll
ticians, although he has not lived in
the State for many years.

To the Memory OF James kinkead.

In sombre gloom. Winters first morn
Damned on orr city fair,
But few could know the Angel Death
Then lowered in the air
Over your life. oh, friend of ali!
We feel tits sad TO go,
While sombre clouds the mountains drape
Above their crests of snow. k
Your kind, your gentle, winsome smile,
+ The warm clasp of your hand,
Will not again our grief beguile
Here in Nevada's land.
But loving thoughts will cross the void
'TwiXt this and Spirit shores.
Farewell We mourn, and try to stem
The tide which sorrow pours.
Not like a meteor, transient, wild,
And vanishing in gloom,
Was the calm tenor of yourliNe
Toward the silent tomb.
Ills Winter, but each Spring will bring
It's sunshine and its sh 'wers,
And loving friends will tribute bring
And deck your grave with flowers

Conveying Scarlet Fever.

The following facts, reported by the
Hartford Cou1'unt, exhibit the ssred
flag of danger'' to all who would guard
against scarlet fever: A Mrs. Avery,
daughter of Frank Gallup, of 9Poquon-.
noe, died at Cincinnati with scarlet
fever Of the most malignant type. A
trunk containing her wearing apparel
was sent home, and the clothing dis
tributed among relatives. Some of the
dresses were altered by dressmaker of
the village, and one of her customers
contracted the disease by visiting the
house on business, and among the first
victims of the fever were members of
the Gallup family.
The people, like those of most small
communities, are social and friendly,
and funerals have been attended by
neighbors and friends, and articles OF
clothing loaned and borrowed, thus
further disseminating the contagions
One afflicted mother, wild with grief at
the loss of children, has taken the re-
nainder of her family to visit friends
at Essex Conn., not thinking OF The
danger to which she exposed those who
are willing to. receive her.

Variety in Your Food.

There is no standard for food applio-
able TO all persons, whether as to kind
of food or quantity. Our tastes are
more OF less q matter of education. A
taste educated in one direction revolts
at taste educated in another. Toma-
toes, now almost universally used in
this country, Were rejected with Ioath-
ing o generation ago. gas - -
The French, who led off in eating
frog-1esh, are now eating horse-hesh--
their taste Tor the latter having been
developed during the exigencies of the
siege Af Paris. The English have, here
tofore,' turned with disgust from corn
(nlaiZe), which is the very staff of life
in this country, land, in some of its
forms of cooking, q delicious favorite.
1t might be well for men generally to
have their tastes broadened. Some
persons are altogether too nice and
narrow in their preferences for food.
It should be remembered that unused
functions tend towards complete cessa-
ton. For instance. one of the best
preservatives against consumption is
the ability of the stomach to digest fat
but the power to digest it may be lost
by long disuse, the glands ceasing to
secrete the necessary fluid.
So, too, the quantity of food eaten by
different persons varies. One man, in
good health too, and in the same sur
roundings, would be killed by what is
essential to the health of another. A
hard worker in the open air would
starve if restricted TO what amply suf-
fees for the man whose employment is
indoors and sedentary. t- a

doubt best for bedrooms; square OF
carpet covers the center, leaving three
feet all round the room. Dust invari-
ably collects under furniture and Chairs,
dresses and draughts of air sweep it up
into the corners; but the boards being
without covering allow of its being
easily taken up with a buster. Then,
too, the carpet being simply laid down,
there is no difficulty in the way of its
being often shaken; no tacks have to
be taken ost or heavy wardrobes
moved, so that there is no possible OK
cuse for its being left down until the
dust accumulates tliickly. 49,.
