NURSING THE PRINCE OF WALES
The following is an incident Of the Prince
of Wales illness The Prince having been
unable to sleep during nearly two days and
nights, bop pillow was placed under his
head, and after some hours he sank into a
6tful sleep. The hop pillow has been con-
tinued, and there is reason to believe its
soporfic effect has been felt in the repose
which at last brought with it the hope of
recovery. During the time when death
seemed imminent butcher stood in an ad-
joining room with lamb, ready at mo-
ments notice to fay it, that the warm and
reeking skin might swathe the Princes
extremities, should they have shown signs
of death coldne;s.

During our interview, the American
COUNSEL at Bankok, presented the King an
elegant assortment ofhis medicines from DIR.
j. z. Aver, of Lowell, Mass. for the use of
the Court. He explained to his majesty their
origin from the great chemist and their uses.
The Cherry Pectoral for coughs-tne Sarsa-
pariiia for eruptive diseases and the Ague
Cure for the fevers that are so fatal in this
hot country. The. dangerous condition of a
favorite wife in the palace with one of the
disorders these medicines cure, gave him
special interest in these products of medical
skill indeed, these medical marvels inter-
ested him more in our country than all the
other attentions we had shown him.

men are especially subject, it is
superseding every othet stimu-

DORMANT CAPITAL IN CALIFORNIA
The following sensible and timely paragraph
occurs in the San Francisco correspondence
of the White Pine News:
1t is certainly to be hoped that the
promises of the coming season NAV induce
the capitalists of San Francisco to break
out in some original and legitimate enter
prise. The only thought now seems to be
to follow In the track of some one who has
been successful, and either to follow in his
tracks, to do what he has done, to displace,
black mail or oppose him. The greatest
fortunes have been made in building the
Pacific Railroad ; so to get 'sfn" in there
is an object. Then other fortunes have
been made iu gas and water companies and
speculation in stocks and from this cir
cult it is hard to attract capital Here are
millions of dollars working in circuit in
San Francisco, really doing but little good
while the State, richest in resources of any
section of the world, suffers for the means
for development, while our Tevises, Hagin-
ses, Reeses. Luninges and others who count
by millions concentrate their moneys in the
small circle of real estate loaus or invest
ments in this city. The great interests of
the interior are neglected, and the slow
advancement of this State and Nevada is
the consequence 1t is this lack of enter
prise, or this hoggishness Of intelligent
capital, that will some day incite interna-
tionalism or intelligent labor to say that it
will take some control of the wealth of the
world. There is an abundance of capital
here, and it is a shame that so much call
upon England, the East or anywhere else,
is necessary in the development of our re-
sources.

Alice showed her apron-full Of eggs to every

"Susan and Johny say we must feed the

mamma, I want to do it, like aunt Hager used
to let me last year."
"Yes, Alice, you may feed them regularly

showing us how dependent we were. l don't
know whether to think it is good or an evil

my children to have many about the house.
And if ours ever come back, I'll have fewer
than formerly. Weare already getting along
so we'll, I scarcely regret their absence"
ri wish we could say the same" and Grace
and Conway both echoed their mothers sigh
and words.
There was more and more effort every week
to systemize the work, and they began to &C.
complish more at less sacrifice of time and
strength but it was some time before any of
them could give the nice touch and finished
look to shirt-b and collar, which seems
so easy to an experienced laundress.
Conway made beds, swept the house and
busted. Grace set the tables, arranged the
china closet, cleaned the lamps, made the
coffee, tea and light-bread. Both Joined in
keeping the silver we'll polished, and learned
what task it was.
Alice took charge of the chickens with ca
gerness till she had blstered her hands few
times shelling corn; but Mrs. Elliott had
Stuart help her with the cornsheller, and her
interest revived when the old hens began to
come from unexpected places with broods of
little downy chickens. To feed and take care
of them was delight; and after little, to
learn where a nest was by hearing the hens
cackle, was q new source of pleasure. Then,
when Mrs. Elliott Joined in hunting the tur'
keys and found whole flock of young ''pee-
peeA" she never wearied of her task Of being
poultry-minder.
Conway seemed to do housework under pro-
test. She felt it duty, but could not like it /;
while Grace soon entered into it with hearty
zest which set aside the fear that this would
harden or that would stain her delicate fingers /;
but it was many long day before she became

When they found time for little garden
ing they took it as great relief, and felt as if
they had accomplished great deal.
