COUNTY ASSESSORS.
VIII Their Term Hold Four YearsI-
We Believe 10 Will.

W. AhNasC - $500
The Republican Central COMMITTEES
of Wsshoe county has ordered that a
Convention be held on the 3rd of Sep.
tember for the purpose Of nominating
candidates for the various county off.
ces, including one County Assessor.
An Act of the Legislature, approx
ed March IA, 1883, provides that
"There shall be elected at the general
election in eighteen hundred and
eighty.six, and every four years there
after, in each organized county of this
State, one County Assessor" The
The second section of the Act in ques.
ton extended the term of Office OF the
Assessors, then IN Office, to the first
Monday in January, 1887, or two
wears more than the time for which
they were elected. The Supreme
Court of Nevada decided the second
section unconstitutional on the ground
that the Legislature has no power to
extend the term of office of any officer
beyond the time for which said officer
was elected by the people; but the
first section, which provides for the
election of Assessors for term of four
years was not passed upon by the SUI
prelne Court, stands unrepealed and
10 still in full force and effect. More
than this. County Assessors were
elected at the general election in 1885
for term Of four years, from the first
Monday in January, 1887, for which
term of four years they were qualified
and commissioned and there can be
no more justice in curtailing the term
of Office Of an officer duly elected and
qualified than there would be in ex-
tending the term of such officer, as
was proposed to do in the Act of
March IL. 1883.
Taking this view of the case, says
the Elko Independent, we do not be-
lieve that there IS any reason for, nor
Justice IN, nominating candidates for
the Office Of County Assessor To be
voted for Al tie coming general cleo
ton, MS there can be no doubt that
the Assessors elected in 1885 will hold
their Offices until the first Monday in
January. 1891. even though the mat
ter be brought before the Supreme
Courr; for in the event that said Court
should decide tho first section of the
Act of 1888 unconstitutional j. would
have no effect. in our judgment, upon
the Assessors new ia office who were
elected and commissioned for team
of four years.

The Most Celebrated of Song Birds.

One of the most celebrated of song birds
is the nightingale. or night singer II is
migratory. Tu:s famous bird is common in
nearly all parts Of Europe. 1t migrateS in
winter into Egypt and Syria. 1t has been
seen among the willows of Jordan and the
olive trees Of JUdea. In no parts of Europe
is it more common than in Spain or Italy;
but even in these southern regions the bird is
migratory
The nightingale is shy in its habits It's
nest is placed low and hidden from view Its
eggs, 1--WE in number, are of an olive brown.
Its food consists of insects In color it is
brown with reddish tinge on the back and
tail As a songster the bird is unsurpassed.
Though its notes are heard at interval, dur
ing the day, they are poured fourth in their
greatest perfection on quiet evenings, an
hour or two after sunset; and when the moon
is very full, and the weather is serene, the
melodious song of the nightingale may he
heard till midnight.

As to the question Of beauty, one elderly

Another man attributes this partly to tailor

He SAYS that severe style robs women of
their feminine charms. 1t began in the plain
habits for hunting in England, and on horse
back it is appropriate and pretty once in a

masculine sort of dress, but now they have

The principal objection to the use Of cold
starch, made by many women, is that it
sticks so to the irons. If it is made in the
following way, and the irons are smooth,
there need be- no fear of its sticking. The
quantity of starch to he used depends upon
the article to be starchcd, and, also, on how
stiff it is wished to be. For collars and cuffs
Il tea spoonful of raw starch in Il half pint of
cold water will make enough for six collars,
while for IA dress half IA cupful of starch to a
half pailful of cold water is not bit too
much One or two trials will convince the
housewife just how much to use. Put the
starch into the water, and after it has dis
solved wash the hands clean, then, with some
clean, good soap wash them again i'll the
starch, using the soap promiscuously The
washing i'll the starch is only to make nice
white suds. Take out the soap, and putting
in the article to be starched rinse it thor
uughly until sure that the starch has reached
every part wished. Then ring it out tightly
and pass through the wringer The article
must have been dried thoroughly outside be
fore being put into the starch. After taking
it from the wlinger shake it well, roll it up
in dry cloth, let lie for about ten minutes,
then iron with hot irons mot hot enough to
burn, and there will be no sticking. Clothes
done up in this way will look much nicer and
iron smoother than if done in the old way

Few matters connected with every day
