The Prlceot a Cap.

King Frederick William III. of Prussia
was accustomed to take his breakfast in
the queens apartments, however busy
he might be, even if he had but mo-
ment to take that meal, which generally
was composed of fresh fruit or other
simple viands. On one occasion, as he
entered, he saw lying on her workable
a very pretty head-dress, which seemed
to him to be quite new. He asked her,
jestingly, the price of this pretty cap.
ut is not always right" said the queen,
also in tone Of pleasantly, athat men
should know the price ofwomen's toilets;
they don't understand them, and they
always find everything too DEAR"
"Well, but you can tell me the price Of

10, certainly can; bought it at a
great bargain; only gave four dollars
for It,"
"Only la horrible price for such a
thing. What large sum of money!
While he continuedAto run satirically
on the subject, he was standing at the
window. and an old veteran of the guard.
an invalid, highly respected, passed by
The king beckoned to HIM to come in,
and as he entered the room, the king
said:
THE lady who is sitting on that sofa
has great deal Of money; now what
ought she to pay for that little cap that
lies on the table, You must rot be daz-
zled by the beautiful pink ribbons, but
say what you think tits worth"
The old soldier, of course knowing
nothing of such things, said, after shrug-
ging his shoulders and pausing to think:
"Why, I suppose it would cost some
groschen (pencel."
There, now, said the king, "do you
hear that? Groschen, indeed that thing
cost four dollars. Now. go and ask that
pretty lady for four dollars. She can
well afford to give you as much as she
can afford to pay for that"
Smiling, the queen opened her purse
and presented the good old veteran with
four dollars most cheerfully, kindly add
ing few condescending words.
"And now," continued the queen,
with an arch look, still initiating the
! kings tone of merry satire, "you see that
noble gentleman standing at the window
He has got much moremoneythan have
All I have receive from him, and he
gives very freely. Now go to him and
ask for double what you have received
from ME. He can afford to give you
eight dollars"
The king laughed, acknowledged he
was caught In his own trap, gave the sum
she had so playfully forced him to give
through her extravaganza, as he called
it, and heartily wished the old invalid
good luck with his present. The affair
was, of course, repeated in the ante-cham
Der, and was received with peals Of
laughter. The veterans name was Chris
tian Brandes, who told this anecdote t
Bishop Eylert.. He also added that wher
the king returned to Potsdam, after the
death OF the queen, he saw his royal mas
ter, who remembered his features per
fectly, and, while making him a little
present, said, with countenance of scr

A Dangerous Torpor.


Torpor or inactivity of the kidneys is Sc.
rlously dangerous to those organs, since it
is the precedent of diseases which destroy
their substance and endanger life. This slug
gishness may be overcome by stimulating
them, act excessively, but moderately, an
effect produced by Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, general inv gorant and alternative, pos
sessing diurctic properties of no common or
der. The impetus which this admirable med.
icine gives to their evacuatiye function,
counteracts any tendency 20 congestion which
may exist in their tissues. Both they and
their associate organ, the bladder, are in
vigorated as well as gently stimulated by
the Bitters. which exert kindred influence
upon the stomach, liver and bowels, and by
strengthening the system, enables it to with
stand malarial epidemeics, to which when
exposed it might otherwise snccnmb.
Theological students reason that if there be
counterfeit money, there must be genuine; So,
If there be intidels, there must also be chris
tians. If this be true of money and religion,
will not the same rule apply to "put up"
medicines? Do not the cheap and worthless
nostrums prove that that there are genuine
and meritorlous put up" medicines? The
great popularity of DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery has resulted in the manufacture
of many Sh0ddy Alternative and tonic remedies,
but one after another tt csc have disappeared,
the proprietors having found that no matter
how tOsM they advertise, success depends up
on merit. In South America as we'll as in
this country, the Discovery is the standard
remedy for all scrofulous and eruptive diseas-
es. 1t acts promptly ON the stomach. liver,
and blood, toning up, regulating, ard purify
ing the system. 1t speedily allays all bron-
chial irritation, and cures the most stubborn
cough or cold in half the time required by
any other remedy.

Until quite recently fall wheat has al

Minnesota and the North will make 270

Down at the Mortimer Works an ex-
cited crowd OF men and women were
standing about, looking up at the dark
windows of the large mill. The doors
had been opened below, and an attempt
made to reach the uppermost story, where
the fire was; but no one could get above
the third floor. The smoke drove them
back.
Meanwhile, away up under the roof the
flames were now showing themselves;
and then, at the window Of the corner
room, Master BERTHE suddenly appeared
at the window. and held his head far out
while the smoke, though as vet in no
great volume, was all about him.
The room had been used as sort OF
lumber-room, and was generally kept
fastened. The boy had been hiding
there from his playfellows just before the
works closed, and had fallen asleep
There was but one room between him
and the fire, and this room was now &C
full of smoke that it would have beer

In which the Blue Bell participates, are
massive. They rise up from the face
of the mountain like gigantic ramparts

to resist the approaches of the pros

Mount Rose had struck the ledge, and
great was the rejoicing among the inter

foot ledge at the start-it was enough
to make Bung Eye crazy and Gouge

The case of the Mutual vs. the Bal
lion. involving the title to what is con-
sidered valuable mining claim in
Mount Rose District, was brought to
close in the District Court Saturday
afternoon. Defendants motion to
strike out certain evidence was sus-
tanned, and the Court instructed the
Jury to find verdict for defendants.
The points decided by the Court are of
interest to every miner. The Court
construes the Act of Congress of May
1872 as follows:
First, The ledge, or what is claimed
to be ledge, must be discovered before
a location can be made.
Second, That the lateral or side lines
of the claim must not be more than 300
feet from the middle of the ledge or
vein on the surface.
Third, The location must be distinctly
marked on the ground, so that its boun-
daries may be readily traced.
Fourth, The record, in order to have
the effect of record, must contain
three things, to-wit: The names of the
locators; date of location; such de-
scription of the claim located, by refer
ence to some natural object or perma-
nent monument, as will identify the
claim.
The conclusions of che Court from
these premises in the case, are:
First, That there is not evidence that
plaintiffs ever made location of the
ground in controversy, because it does
not appear that at the date of the loca-
ton the ledge, or what was claimed
to be the ledge, had not been discovered.
Second, That there was no marking
on the ground of the lateral or side lines
of the proposed location.
Third, That the record does not con-
tain such description Of the claim, by
reference to any natural object or per-
manent monument, as will identify it.
Fourth, That the writing of a notice
of location and placing the same in a
monument Heretofore erected upon, and
for the purpose of marking the boun-
daries of another claim, is not such To-
cation of the ground sought to be To-
Gated, as is required by the laws of
Congress.
The jury retired and were out about
three-quarters of an hour. They re-
turned verdict in accordance with the
instructions of the Court, though mem
bers of it say they were almost unani-
mously for plaintiffs.

Their Number and Classification.

The following interesting item to
statisticians appears as a local in the
Carson Tribune and as an editorial in
the Reno Journal, and not knowing
which of them stole it, we take it for
granted that both scissored it from some
other journal:
There are in the State of Nevada one
hundred and six postoffces, of which
six are rated as second-class, five as
third-class and the remaining ninety
five as fourth-class Offices The second
class postinasters receive salaries rang
ing from 81, 100 to 81, 800 per annnm,
with clerk hire, rent, fuel and lights
allowed by the government. Third
class officers are paid yearly salaries
ranging from 81, 800 to l,S00, while
those who hold fourth-class offices de-
pend for their compensation upon the
amount OF business done in their Offices
1t must, however, in no case exceed
$3.50 per quarter, or 81 900 per annum.
In all money order offices, the post
masters receive commission upon all
orders issued by them. The receipts
from box rent, sales of postage stamps,
and from any and all other sources are
required to be accounted for and turned
over to the Postoiiice Department
The second-class offices, with the year
