The Red Prince Killed by His Wife.


A profound sensation has been excited in
Berlin and Vienna by the appearance in a
well-knswn German newspaper of what pur-
ports to be a true account of the death of
Prince Frederick Charles. This journal asserts
In plain terms that the Red Prince did not die
of apople1y, but that he was shot dead by his
wife. A Belgian journal makes the following
comments eli the narrative:
"The REQ Prince did not live on good terms

paee-seenes so serious, in fact that the old en-

Summer Complaint i'm Children.

The child must receive no nourishment, with
the exception of small quantities Of rice-water
for the first twenty-four hours At night, be-
fore going to bed, the child is placed in a warm
bath, and afterward wrapped up in blankets.
When the perspiration thus caused has ceased
the child is carefully dried, dressed in its
warmed night-clothing, and put to bed, the
linen of which, as Wen as that of the child,
must be changed twice daily, or oftener. In the
early morning the child is taken to some shell
tered, cool place, either in the country, or, If
possible, in boat on the water, or an island in
the middle OF large river, or, best OF all, kept
at the seashore. Internally, small doses of sui
phite Of sodium (not enough to cause in a
healthy child diarraheal and of aqua chlorine
are administered. and If the little patient has
been nourished with its mothers milk the re-
suit will always be favorable, while in children
artifciaily fed the main necessity consists in
there being ut once removed to the country, or
still better, to the seashore. If such children
who have been brought up by the aid of the
bottle are lett to remain during the hot season,
while suffering from cholera iufantum, in the
city, our experience has been that most
OF them will die, Notwithstanding the most
careful treatment. Many cases do not recover
from tine want of pure air and of cleanliness,
this being the reason of the many deaths among
the children Of the poor.

The guard tents, marked 81, are near the edge
of the bluff, which rises from the beach. The
view from these tents will command the beach,
the board walk and all approaches from the
sea. The municipal authorities of Cape May
have arranged to lay gas mains and the gas

the streets OF the camp. There Will be fourteen
lamps placed at proper distances on the streets
of the camp. The location is considered SUI

THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE TENTS.
There will be forty tents of the large size,
known as hospital tents, pitched. This number,
it is thought, will afford ample accommoda-

will be entirely tOOred with planks. The tents

them, and they all took il and were relieved.
But, supposing that desert had been held as pri-
vate property, as the soil OF Great Britain is
held, as the soil even of our new States is being
held. Surprising that one Of the Israelites had a
square mile, and an other one had twenty
square miles, and another one had hundred
square miles, and the great majority OF the
israettes did not have enough to set the soles of
their feet upon, which they could call their own

would it have done to the majoritye Not a

enough for All, that mamma would have been the
property of the landholders. They would have
employed some of the others, perhaps, to ga her
II up In heaps for them, and would have sold it
to the hungry brethren. Consider il. This pur-
chase and sale OF mamma might have gone on
until the majority OF the Israelites had given up
all they had, even to the clothes off their backs
What then? Well, then they would not have

consequence would have been that while they
