McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1885-01-08

The population of Nevada is steadily
dwindling. The Carson Tribune esti-
mates that there are now not more than
$4,000 voters in the state. In 1880 the
tai vote was 1861. Only one county
has 1000 voters, and of al the others
only three have voting population in
excess of 1000 each. One county is
credited with 200 votes only, and there
are five counties whose combined vote
will not exceed $500.
Sierra Valley. Sierra county, Cal. is
one of the prettiest but most isolated
places in the state. 1t has no telegraph
communication with the rest OF the
world, and can only be- reached by a
difficult stage ride of twenty-five miles.
The inhabitants have inst begun to sing
"Grandfather's Clock and probably
will not hear of ''Wait Till the Clouds
Roll By" for several months yet.
Incendiaries who are rich enough to
employ a lawyer to defend them are
now spoken of as pyromaniacs, just as
a poor ragged devil full of liquor is
called a drunkard, while man who
can employ a doctor instead of po-
liceman to take care of him is called a
dipsomaniac; and poor girl who steals
is thief, but richer one is a kleptO-
maniac.

White HOuse Business.

One of the leading secretaries ct the
White house tells me that the business
of the executive has increased largely
since the days of Lincoln and Grant
writes a Washington correspondent
up until the time of Hayes" says he,
"hardly scrap of paper was kept here
to show what the president did or why
he did it. Now we keep record OF
everything and we make point OF
answering every letter. Notes are kept
of the contents of all important letters
received, and by our record here, in
case of an appointment, we can tel
just why and upon whose recommends
ton the appointment was made. In
case the appointee turns out badly the
president is relieved of the blame and il
is thrown upon those who recommended
him. We receive a great many letters
that should 90 to the various depart
ments. Some poor woman in the dis
tant part of the country wants pen
sion. She does not know anything
about the pension bureau, and the only
person in the government with whom
she is acquainted is the president. She
writes to him. OF course our letters are
referred by us to the pension office. and
it is the same with other letters of the
same class. AS the executive office is
carried on now, it is absolutely neces-
sary to have good force Of clerks. and
the day has passed when presidents
can stand around the street corners and
ask every other person they meet to
come and have chat with them at the
White house,

Naming the Baby,

There are many families in which
the really absurd practice prevails of
retaining the same set of Christian
names from generation to generation,
with the natural result that each mem
Der of one of these families is con-
stantly mistaken for his father or his
cousin. In the giving of names con
siderations of sentiment should alwa, S
give way to those of convenience. 1t
IS satisfactory to observe that the very
comm. nest of our Christian names
are fast losing their popularity, and
that the custom of giving double
names, and that of using surnames as
Christian names are becoming more
general These useful innovations are
especially to be recommended to the
Smiths, the Browns, the Jonses and all
possessors of excessively common sur
names. We may reasonably hope that
in generation or two there may be
no longer any plain John Smiths to La
ment the Inconvenience of bearing a
name which is practically 'sno name at
all. Boston journal.

Bromide Destructive to the Teeth.

A Hartford dentist, writing to a
newspa per concerning the destructive
effect upon the teeth of bromide OF po-
tassium, which he advises people to
take only through glass tube-or, if
they do not, to brush the teeth thor.
oughly after taking it-says: 1.-The
extensive and almost universal use of
tonics and sedatives, in the form of
iron and bromides-and, will add,
the general use of fine wheat and non
bone-making food materials, are what
support the vast army of dentists in
this country" 1t is a curious fact
that the effect of American food upon
the teeth of emigrants who have been
used to a coarser and perhaps more
wholesome diet, is more marked than
upon the teeth of the sons of American
ancestors. AS an illustration of this q
former dentist of Cincinnati once re-
marked upon the rich harvest which
the members of his profession in that
city enjoy during the week of the May
festival, which brings into town thous-
ands of recent German emigrants from
the surrounding country.-Harttord

The Queens Floral Tribute to Gar
field.

The wax counterpart of the floral
wreath sent by Queen Victoria to be
placed on President Garfield's coffin is
completed. For two years the de-
signer has been at work upon the
frame, and as historical work CT art
it is of much value. 1t is heavy
frame of English oak, made from the
wood of tree that stood for 800 years
and was cut down by the British at the
battle of Waterloo to build bridge.
The frame is engraved with oak leaves,
except across the lower border, where
the rose, which is the Queens favorite
flower, intertwines with the hollyhock.
At the top of the frame are engraved
the sword, and shield, and bible, sur
mounted by the garter; on the right
the United States coat of arms, and on
the left that of Great Britain. Below
is gold plate bearing tine presenta-
ton words of the order to the Garfield
family. Across the top is written,
..Honi soft qui NAL Y pense," and on
the lower border ''Strangulatus pro

liver does not act properly and work
off the poison from the system, and

purifying the blood, cure all these dis
cases.
