Mrs. Washington was notable
housekeeper, as we'll as an earnest pa
triot. During tho terrible winter when
the army was encamped at Morristown,
she was with her husband, sharing
cheerfully all his hardships, and on
couraging both officers aud soldiers by
her hopeful words.
A number OF prominent ladies in
ATorristown sent her word that they
were coming TO spend an afternoon
with her. Knowing that she was q
high.born Yirginian, and Of large
wealth, they got themselves mp for Q
state occasion in silks, and ruilles, and
iewelry. Mrs. Washington received
them with great cordially, and soon
made them feel perfe6tly at home. But
they were sorely troubled at their own
flnery when they found that their host
ess wore only q simple dress, with a
check apron, and was busy during the
whole visit In knitting stockings for the
General. She took occasion to say,
that ladies ought TO emulate their hus.

sacrifices for their country, and In work

A narkened Life.

In Nashua, N. H., sayslan exchange,
resides o young girl whose pitiful lot
excites the deepest sympathy, yet for
whom sympathy can do but little In
alienation Of the sad misfortune which
has darkened her life. When q child
she was terribly yscalded about the head
and face, and although she survived
her injuries, she was thenceforth dis.
figured for life, and the rosy face Of
childhood was changed to a mask-a
trayesty on the human countenance-
absolutely frightful in lie hideousness.
In LEVEL, Mass, where she once lived,
30 great was the horror excited by her
appearance that she was forbidden by
the authorities 10 show herself on tho
streets. AT Nashua she yentured out
the other day, and several ladies faint
ed at sight Of her, and o cry 10 now
made upon the authorities Of that place
to forbid her appearance on the streets.
What o mournlul fate is hers To
live through the terrible physical suffer-
ing only 10 endure honceforward o
keener mental anguish In the knowl-
edge that she Is thing Of horror, 10 be
abhorred and Stunned by human kind,
with no hope In the future except the
grave, which shall hide her deformities
from the gaze Of her fellow beings.

A Heavy Debt.

Tho Prince Of Wales owes nearly q
million OF money. But it must not bo
supposed that his fayorites arc enriched
by his generosity. The Prince, al,
though on pleasure bent, hos Q frugal
mind. The three principal creditors OF
the Prince arc the Duke Of Sutherland (;
Mr.. Poole, tho tailor; and MIR. Lawson,
tho principal proprietor OF the DatW
Telegraph. The Prince had about a
million Of pounds saved up tor MN
when he attained his majority. He
has ever since had on income OF about
G12O, ,OOOa year. His wife is not ex-
trayauant. But now he Is in debt to
the tune Of ESQ, 900 or G1, 600, 600, and
Il is great mystery where the money
has gone 10. 1nabout twelve years no
has managed to spend more than three
and q quarter millions sterling, or
nearly seventeen millions Ct dollars.
He Is anxions to get out Of debtor at
least his creditors want their money.
He applied to tho late Government for
assistance, but they refused to do any
thing. He has renewed his application
TO tho present Government, and tho
matter Is under consideration. One OF
the pleas he makes Is that much OF the
money was spent in discharging duties
that belonged to the Queen. There is
something In this but then II 1t be so,
the Queen should pay 1t, and not the
people. The Queen, I am told, has oc'
casionally given considerable sums to
the Prince. Just before the marriage

creditors OF that young gentleman (who
Is also in debt, pressed for their money,
and threatened TO make a row about 1t
II they were not paid. The Queen came
to the rescue, and paid $4,000 out of
her own purse to satisfy these claims.

The Palace Saloon.

The Palace Saloon, owned by Will
liams 4 Rogers, was opened to the
public for business at O'clock yester-
Enlistment gotten up by these gen.
tlemen Is 'new departure" from the
accust Omed resorts of the kind hereto
fore existing in our city. Messrs.
Williams & Rogers have become cog
infant of the fact that our city is fast
becoming city worthy of the preten-
tons of q growing and progressive
metropolis, and have accordingly fitted
up palatial saloon and wine rooms in
our city that would do credit to any city
on the continent. The design and finish
of the rooms are unsurpassed by any
thing on this coast. The furniture,
silverware and glassware were order
ed and manufactured according to the
design and plans of Mr.. Williams, who
is, and has long been, thorough and
well-informed caterer to the pub
lie taste. In the fitting up OF
their present quarters these gen.
tlemen have neither spared pains
nor expense in making their Palace
the most elegant and attractive in
Southern California. The stock, fix
lures, ETC., have necessitated an out
lay of nearly $4,000. Their cellars
are cOmmodious and we'll arranged
for the business. The decorations
of the main hall, are paintings and
engravings; elegant crystal GirandOle
chandeliers, and the bar and furniture
within is made of laurel and walnut
wood, furnished in finest style of the
art. In short the Palace Saloon in Its
equipment is the ne plus ultra of the
Southern Pacific country.

affirms that twenty-five feet of water
can be put at the end Of the proposed
wharf, and that when the top of the
bar IL dredged the earth beneath will
give way to the current making the
best harbor south of San Francisco.
The right man in the right place Is at

The friends in the East have every
confidence in him, as witness this
from the New Orleans Picdyune, the

city. ~
