ROYALTY IN SWEDEN.
ADynasty That Owes Much to an Amer
lean Dentist.
From Paris Letter to London Truth.
A lady writes to me from the court
Of Stockholm that Mr.. Axel Gustaf-
sens teetotalism, of which said some
thing early in this year, has certainly
found advocates in King Oscar and
his Queen. But she denies that pure
philanthropy is the reason they are so
much on the side of the Good Temp
lars-the Blue Ribbonites of their
realm. The Bernadotte family have
been long enough on the throne and
intermarried sufficiently with German
royalties and serene trasparencies to
suffer more from the ills to which flesh
is heir than ordinary human beings.
A quantity of alcoholic drink, there
fore, which would not have any effect
on an ordinary Swede would be de-
struction and death to any one Of their
Majesties' four sons. These Princes
grew up with pain and grief. They
overtaxed their strength. Study weak.
ened their eyes to degree that made
glasses an absolute necessity. When
they had measles, scarlatina orzymo-
tic plaques of childhood, these mala-
dies left "dregs'' in their constitutions
which were not easy to eliminate.
Their teeth have been from infancy
until now perpetual torments. The
court lady, writing from Stockholm,
tells me that the second son-Prince
Oscar, aged 27-has been martyrized
by the eccentric growth of his wisdom
teeth. Instead of growing right up or
straight down they shoot out sideways
and force their points into the flesh
Of the cheeks. Owing to the Wittels-
bach and the Nassau blood which
runs in the Princes veins, this deaec-
ton from the order of nature has had
consequences which the Stockholm
lady says were extremely painful in
more ways than one, and cast His
Royal Highness sometimes into the
deepest depths of gloomy apprehen-
sion. This is why: It caused terrible
glandular disturbances. swellings, in
Examinations and their consequences,
and such intense cerebral suffering
that a brain disease was feared.
Throat and ears were badly affected,
and the Eustachain tubes were choked
up. Physicians and surgeons lost
their Latin" when called in to attend
the poor Prince. They gave fine Greek
names to horribly ugly symptoms and
prescribed treatment that worked
no cure. AS Prince Oscar is of an age
to marry and has for the last year or
so wanted badly to 60 a wooing, stses
miseres physiologues" were a source
to him Of worse than the distress
arising merely from physical pain.
However, ALPS well that ends well, or
peu pres. To a great extent lat
least so the court lady informs me
who keeps me acquainted with much
that goes forward at the Royal Slott
in which her function forces her to
live) the root of the evil has been ex-
tracted by DR.. Thomas Evans, and
the Prince will, it is hoped, soon be
able to WOO a bride at some foreign
court, and win her, too. The name Of
the much-desired Princess the lady
does not mention. She, in fact, tells
me that no matrimonial engagement
has yet been entered into on behalf OF
the Prince whose wisdom teeth have
been giving him so much trouble. Her
idea is that, in theinterest OF posterity
and to keep as far as possible from
Nassau or Wittelsbach blood, he
ought to follow the example of, she
forgets what ancestor on the paternal
side, who saw a pretty country girl
washing clothes in a brook, made up
to her, became her sweetheart and f.
nally her spouse
The dental operation was SO happi-
~ performed that, according to my
fair informant, the celebrated Ameri-
can who carried it out was the darling
of the court for several days, and the
object, naturally, of professional ha-
tired in the medical world at Stock
holm. The king having on previous
occasions given him every Swedish dec
GRAFTON that he can dispose of made
him Commander of the Norwegian
Order of the Polar Star.
