Royalty IN A TIGHT PLAcE.-A Paris
letter writer tells the story Of the
ner in which Albert Edward consumes
his cakes and ale:
Letort is the name of the Partisan
money broker who recently extricatcd
the Prince Of Wales from a very un-
pleasant scrape. The Prince was in.
eognito in Paris, and had bought of q
jewcler there diamonds and bracelets
worth about fifty thousand francs,
which he presented to q good looking
member Of the demi-monde. He then
went to the Cerclc do Estraugers, played
Mt baccarat, and lost every franc he had
with him. Next morning the jcwcler
CAM to him and wanted his money.
As the Prince told him he had not got
a franc, and that he would send him
his sum from London, the jeweler waxcd
wroth, and threatened to sue the Prince
and seize the jewelry in the hands Of
the eorone. The Prince was at loss
how to secure the money, as he was in
Paris contrary to his mothers wishes,
and he was ovcrjoyed at the offer which
the above named broker made to ad-
vance the fifty thousand pounds.

LITTLE THISGs.-The perspicuousness
Of little things was never more beauti-
fully expressed than in the following
moroccan by B. F. Taylor:
Little martin boxes Of homes are gen.
orally the most happy and oozy little
villages are nearer.to being atoms OF a
shattered paradise than anything we
know of; little fortunes bring the most
content /; and little hopes the least dis
appointment.
Little words are the sweetest to hear;
little charities fly farthest, and remain
longest on the wing ; little flakes are the
s%tillest, little hearts the fullest, little
farms the best titled. Little books are
the most read, and little songs are the
most loved. When nature would make
anything especially rare and beautiful,
she makes it little-little pearls, little
diamonds, little dews.
Everybody calls that little, that they
love best. We once heard a good sort
Of q man speak of his wife, and we fam
cied she must be q perfect little Of o
wife. We saw her and she weighed
2l0; We were surprised. But then it
was no joke-the man meant it. lie
could put his wife into his heart and
have room for other things besides ; and
what was but little-multum in parvo-
much in little-is the great beauty of all
we love best, hope for most and remem-
Der longest.

SUIT BRouGHr.-The great financial
head of this State, II. G. Blasdel, has
had a suit brought against the Assessor
of Storey county, to recover large sums
of money, alleged to be due the State
from the proceeds of the mines; the AS
SCISSOR, it is alleged, having failed or re-
fused to add to the tax, on the proceeds
of the mines, the difference between
coin and greenbacks. In refusing to do
so, the Assessor acted under the in
structions of the Board Of County Com
missioners-the mining Superintendent
having unanimously resolved not to pay
the tax on the proceeds Of the mines, ii
the Assessor added the difference be-
tween coin and legal tenders. The tax
es have been paid on this basis for the
last nine months-the assessments and
payments being based on currency value.
We believe suit has also been brought
against County Auditor Fish for making
settlement with the Assessor on this
basis. Well, here is a "pretty kettle Of
fish " for the State Treasury-as we I'M
derstand the Superintenden,s will now
refuse to pay any tax whatever on the
proceeds Of the mines-thc grounds be-

HonRIRLE ExEcurIoN.- Anothel

A HORRIBLE EXECUTION. - Another
horrible scaffold scene has recently
taken place in Prussia. Old Mrs. He'd
wig Flebig, about sixty years Of age,
and her son, a young man Of twenty
eight, were beheaded by Ganser, the
public executioner, for having murdered
old Mr.. Flebis, the husband Of the wo-
man and father of her son. She was
more dead than alive with terror when
she was told that her time had come.
She refused to walk to the seaffold, and
was carried thither. Herson was already
present waiting his turn after his mother
would be despatched. The executioner
could not fasten her we'll to the block,
owing to the shortness Of her neck, and
he drew the head somewhat violently
forward, causing her to utter horrible
screams. Only the second blow severed
her head from the trunk. The son
tainted, and had to be brought to before
being fastened to the block still rocking
with his mothers blood. But few per-
sons were allowed to be present at the
execution, and they describe it as hor-
rible beyond expression.
