10 tho Government.
Public Printer Rounds expresses himself as per-
ectly contented with hissuccess in getting out the
Congressional Record eighty seven days quicker
than any Of his predecesso rs had done. There
were eight volumes in all, and the work contained
over 1000 pages more than that for the first session
of the Forty fifth Congress. The government, too,
was gamer by the expedition to the amount OF
Sl5O0o. Mr.. Rounds says that he is gradually sys-
tematizing matters, according to his IDEAS and ex-
pected to be able in II short time TO conduct the
vast establishment under his charge on the same
principle as private banking house. Recently
system OF checks and balances has been intro
duced which would revolutionize the old methods
ana any delay in getting up work could be
promptly traced and remedied. This plan would
ne found beneficial when Congress met, for time
would be kept on copy delivered at the office till
1t was ready for the Record, ana hitch would be
almost impossible. The number of employees in
the building l00-has also been considered,
and, as precautionary measure in case OF fire or
other accident, five fire-escapes of the most i'm
proved patterns have been ordered to be placed in
position at accessible points. Mr.. Rounds also
proposes TO organize an interior fire squad, the
members of which will be daily subjected to n
thorough drill. This and other reforms are al
ready in progress.

At the crowded counter the lady sits
Awaiting the shop maids naughty stare,
While the latter backward and forward fits
And warbles popular comic air.
She laughs at the customers lack OF "style"
While showing the goods with noise and clatter
And says to herself with q scornfl smile.

Like shining ebony CLEANS his hat,
The skin of his tailor was greatly taxed
Before he produced a suit like that
He asks for gloves. Oh, isn't he grandl

Oh. isn't hs swest9 He's just too killing r.

A STRONG fight is being made in King
county over the Office of treasurer, Capt,
Hill the present incumbent, has been
adjudged Ineligible by the supreme court
Of the territory, but an appeal has been
taken to the United States supreme court,
and he will legally hold the Office pend
ing the decision. The grounds of ineli-
gibility, if any, are that he is still holding
government army office, though on the
retired list.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE!- On Tuesday night
last about midnight, the store and goods
of w, Gallick Esq, trader at Neah Bay,
were consumed by fire; the loss was com
plete. Store and goods were partially
insured, Fortunately the wind was IA
vorable, so that Mr.. Gallick's oil ware
house and residence were saved, as was
also the residence of Inspector Price,
which was in imminent danger. 1t is
not known whether the fire occurred
through an incendiary act, or spontane-
Gus combustion, but suspicion attaches
to some of the Indians.
AN item appeared in Saturdays issue
of this paper, in reference to the steamer
Hope and her officers, which was incor-
rect. Instead of Harry Lott being full
owner and captain of that craft, her pa
pers were temporarily changed while
Capt. Gilmore was getting his family
comfortably settled in their dwelling
house. The item referred to was taken
from the Post InteLi0encer.

WHAT Il NICKELR
Tho Material Out OF Which Our Five
Cent Coin Is Made.


Since the convenient fve-cent coin,
which in common talk is called "a nick
el, has come into general circulation,
the question above is asked, either men
tally or orally, hundreds of times every
day, and but few get an intelligent an
Bwer. In China and India white cop
per, called pack tong, has long been
known, and has been extensively used,
both there and in Europe, for counter
feiting silver coin. About the year 100
peculiar ore was discovered in the cop
per mines of Saxony, which had the APP
pearance of being very rich, but in
smelling it yielded no copper, and the
miners called it kupfer-nickel, or false
copper. In 1854 Constant announced
the discovery of Il new metal in kupfer-
nickel, to which he gave the name OF
nickel. 1t IVES in cCmUination with an
senic, from which lie could relieve it
only in parts. The alloy of nickel and
arsenic which he obtained WAS whit,
brittle and very hard, and had melting
point nearly US higu ss cast-n on. IL
was not until 1923 that pure nickel WAS
obtained by analysis OF German silver,
which had for u Lumber of Years been
p.oduc ii Mt Suhl, III Slxony. It's CON-
pJs.t.Un Was ascertilned to Ire copper 10
parts, 2lnc 5 nnd nickei L. If more nick,
De used the alloy is H. white W. silver
and susceptible of very high polish,
out becomes too brittle aud hard TO be
namni~.ed or rolled, and can be worked
only by casting. Pure nickel is white
mutll winch tarnish s readily IN the
air. Unlike silver, 1t is not acted on by
the yapJr of sulphur, and even the
strong mineral acids attract 1t but
slightly. Nickel has the hardness OF
iron, aud, like 1t, has strong magnetic
properties, but cannot be welded and is
sOluered with difficulty Pure nickel has
heretofore been used chiefly for plating,
iur which purpose its hardness and DOW
tr 10 resist atmospheric nhuences ad-
mirably adapt it. The French have sue
ceeded i'll rolling the metal into plates,
from which spoons and other table fur
uiture my be pressed. Nickel bronze,
which consists OF equal parts OF copper
and nickel, with little tin, may be cast
luto very delicate forms, uud is Suscep-
tible Of IL high polish. Mines OF nickel
are worked ut Chatham, CT, and Lam
caster, Pa, and it is said to bo found at
Mi Ie lie MOtte, Mo-, aud at several
points in Colorado and New Mexico,
where but littlo attention is paid to it,
IL In extensively mined in SlxOny and in
sweden, but the late discovery Of new
ore (I sillcate OF nlckeD in New Caledo-
uia will probably suspend the use of the
arsenlcal ores, and yet tring nickel into
common use. Switzerland. in the year
1852, made n coin OF German silver,
which Is identical in composition with
our nickel coin. The United States
made nickel cents in 1856, and eight
years later coined the scent pieces.
Belgium adopted nickel coinage in 1860
and Germany i'll 1873. England has
lately coinei pennies for Jamaica, but
ut home she and France adhere to the
clumsy copper small change.

In the days of Tiberias it was thought
a crime to carry ring stamped with the
image of Augustus into any mean or
sordid place where it might be polluted.
The Christian carries ever with him 1.-THE
image and superscription" of far no.

set in gold signet on his finger, but

Image" sensitive and easily marred and

wore the gold-set image of the emperor
to enter any "mean or sordid place" it is
a much greater crime for one who claims
to bear the image of Christ to enter
where he may not have that Christ be-
