The Boy Who Saved q King.

More than hundred and fifty years ag
! little boy was BORN in palace in Berlin
and though be was afterwards known a
Frederick the Great, his childhood AMI
youth were made very unhappy by th
cruelty OF his father. Sometimes Will,
eating his dinner the unnatural fathe
would hurl plates at his sons head and o
ten he would kick him to the foor ant
then drag him round the room by the hair
Once while the boy prince was practicinl
on flute, the old king snatched the in.
struneut from him aud snapped it in two
across the childs shoulders. His life wa,
So miserable that be once attempted tc
run away, but before he had gone far be
was captured and cast into wrison; and
more cruel than oil. from pindow in bis
cell be was compelled to watch the execu.
tion Of the dear young friend who had as
sisted him TO escape.
At the age OF twenty eight, the old king
having died, Frederick himself became
king OF Prussia. Heretofore his time bad
been spent in studying the languages and
literature OF France; but now his books
we're laid aside for the sword, aud be bus
led himself 10 building up his own king
dom He was very frugal. industrious
king not caring for fine garments; and It
is said that be was actually buried 10 blr
valet's shirt. as be did not possess q pre-
sentable one of bis own.
He was great sdmirer Of Washington,
and, to show lis esteem. sent him Prns.
sian sword Of honor, with the inscrip-
tion.
From the oldest to the greatest.
IL was this famous king whose life was
once saved by little boy he had befriend
ed. During the seven years war the Prus
sian troops we're one winter stationed 10
Dresden; aud il was here. while pacing
bsck and forth on the terrace along the
river bank, that the king met wretched
looking little boy. The child was very
ragged. and carried . box almost as large
~ bimself.
Oh. sir. wouldnt you like to see my
msrionettes? asked the boy in bis simple
fashion.
Are they in ,bstlbor9 inquired the
king
Yes. and they can perform very nicely.
You ought TO see them dance. Shall !
show them 10 you. sir? repested the child,
eagerly. t.. ki1g shook bis head. but
gently laid his nal on the boys shoulder,

OSE thing Of vital importance TO north
ern Arizona and to Mohave County in
particular is the survey by the government
of the public lands Of this portion OF An
zona. A paltry 5000 has been aPproP-
rated for tine purpose 10 cover the whole
Territory. Our delegate TO congress ae-
knowledges that he is Powerless to help
us in the matter, yet the delegates from
the other territories have been able to e
liberal amonnta set aside for this purpose
in their sections. II these lands were
surveyed they would be open to settle
rnent and subject TO taxation. There are
thousands upon thousands OF acres OF
land in Mohave county, which II avail
able for settlement, would in few years
be acquired for agricultural and grazing
purposes. But leaving this aside, were
these lands surveyed, they would then
be subject to taxation, and especially
those owned by the railroad grant. The
yalne Of these lands would add largely 30
the assessment roll and be the means OF
redncing the high rate Of taxation, which
enguIfs at present. The next delegate
