He also designed many elegant private residences and for two years wa employed in experimenting the erec- ton of Mrs Mark Hopkins, splendid mansion at Great Bsrrlngton, Mass.

Royal Teeth.

It is hardly pleasant omen for Eng lands future king, the baby Prince Ed ward of York, that the first appointment officially made to the household of his royal highness should be dentist. Yet such is the case. The little fellow is having good deal of trouble with his teething, and accordingly one of the la test issues of The Government Gazette announces the appointment of clever young dentist as "dental surgeon in ordinary to his royal highness, Prince Edward of York" :" In course of time he will be provided, through the columns of the official gazette, with governor. controller, equerries, lords and gentle men in waiting, grooms of the stole, and chaplains, besides physicians and private secretaries. But the dignitary whose ap- pointment will outstrip all others tn priority. If not in importance and rank, is that of the young dentist. Teeth are becoming more and more an important consideration in the reigning families of Europe. Thus the royal house of Sweden keeps dentist busy all the time, owing to the fact of all their teeth being bad, while the molars of the reignine house of Spain are excruciatingly bad, Don Carlos in particular having been 6 perfect martyr with his teeth until he had them replaced by artificial grinders. In fact, there is not a single royal house in Europe that can boast of good teeth, and for this reason dentists play so i'm portant role in their existence that il is difficult to realize that g. century agc even royal teeth were attended to by barbsrs.

A BOY HERO.
He Kept His Promise, Though It Csst Hin
 Hia Iife-

He Kept His Promise, Though It Csst Hin
 His Life.
 The Confederate Veteran is engaged monument erected to the young hero Sam Davis, who died the death of spy rather than betray secret that would have saved bis life, but doomed another to the same death. Sam Davis was spe- cial agent for General Bragg, and he had obtained valuable information giv- en him in confidence and on the prom ise that he would never betray the source of his information. He was not a spy, for we believe he wore his Confed- crate gray when captured, but the pa pers on his person showed that he had from some one obtained secret informa- tion. His life and safe escort into the Confederate lines were promised him if he would give the name of the informer, but he chose to die instead. He was but a boy, and the temptation must have been powerful. But he was hero. No marble shaft or statue in bronze towers above the dust of nobler life than that of the fair haired stripling who kept his faith and his honor and died rather than break promise. -
 If monuments are to be built, iCis better to build them in commemoration of noble character and simple life true to the last breath to knightly standard of honor than to genius or to brilliant achievements. There is les son for the humblest as we'll as the highest in the martyrdom of Sam Davis! Every man cannot be a. genius. Only the highly favored few can win renown by great deeds Sam Davis was not of these. His title to the admiration of his countrymen rests in a simple, steadfast, unwavering devotion to duty and to a principle of honor. It is a character to which the common soldier in life's bat tie may attain. The youth of the land cannot copy the mighty genius of Lee, but they may be taught to love truth and honor, to be faithful even unto death like Sam Davis.
 Raise him monument-a monument to the young hero of the common people that will hold aloft the lesson of his glorious martyrdom-that will teach the proud and the naughty that even among the humble and the obscure there are hearts of gold and souls of iron to suffer and endure.

Terribly Tormented.

The following conversation Is reported to have taken place between a minister and a widow, both of Aberdeen. The wid- ow, who called upon the minister, seemed desirous of relieving her mind of some thing which oppressed her, at which the reverend gentleman, wishing to hurry matters, exclaimed: , My good woman, you see can be of no service to you till you tell me what 1t Is that troubles you"
