A WONDERFUL ESCAPE.

Fieschi tried to assassinate King
Louis Phileppe OF France In July 1885.
The king was riding along the lines of
the national guard in the Boulevard du
Temple There came crash and
rush OF bullets. Louis Philippes arm
was grazed. his horse was shot In the
neck. Marshal Mortier fell dead and
about thirteen other people were killed
and thirty wounded. Fieschi had taken
the upper floors OF house several
weeks before and there rigged up an
oaken frame four feet by three feet six
inches. supported on four posts OF oak
and itself supporting twenty-five gun
barrels fixed in grooves at various
angles so as TO command an area OF
twenty five feet in length and ten feet
In height. When he fired the train OF
powder that let off his battery the king
would have been killed II four barrels
had not burst and two missed fire.

A PRESCRIPTION
FOR MAMMA

IL was very dreadful time
When my Mamma lay Ill,
The Nurse went tptoe through the halls
The house was sad and still.
The Doctor with HIS medicines
Came every single day;
lie would not let me see Mamma,
To kiss her pain away!
But every time he looked so grave
For dear Mamma was worse;
/ knew they could not make her well,
That Doctor and that Nurse.
/ sat before the chamber door
And cried and cried and cried
/ knew that could cure Mamma
Ii ! could be inside.
But once ! had n splendid thought,
Behind the Doctors back,
To write my own Prescription out.
And tuck Il through the crackl

Round kisses In shower.
And wrote-"A kiss for my Mamma,
Please take one every hour"
And from that very time, OF course,
My dear Mamma grew well,
The Doctor thinks II was his pills.

NEVADA's NEWEST STRIKES.
Exodus for Golden Hills of jefferson
Canyon in Progress.
Especial to The Herald)

Coldfeld. March 22.-Tonopah. Gold
now there is a fifth camp to be added
to the list of famous ones. Reports
have been reaching Tonopah and Gold
field for a week of rich strikes at
Round Mountain and Jefferson can
yOn. Originally such reports do not
attract very great attention, but this
time, Just as in the case Of Manhat-
tan few months ago. the reports bear
the earmarks of authenticity, and it
seems certain that the world is bound
to hear more of Round Mountain. The
place is fifteen miles to the north of
Manhattan, and that camp is in a fair
way to be OutclaSSed and left far be-
hind in the race for prominence.
A mammoth porphyritic dyke has
been discovered carrying hematite of
iron which is said to be fairly alive
with gold. Excitement runs high and
prospectOrs. IOcators. promoters and
town boomers are f1ocking to the
scene.
Lee Lakin and Quincy Gorden ar
rived in GOldfield last evening from
the new district and state that the
strike is all it has been reported. The
discovery was made at the base of a
mountain, and they judge that the alti-
tude is at least 1900 feet higher than
that of Manhattan.
The formation also is entirely differ
ent and those who have all along beer
dissatisfied with the lime and schist
of Manhattan can find no fault with
the pOrphyry of Round Mountain. The
assays run far into the thousands OF
dollars. and already men are at work
developing the newly discovered
ground.
Goldfielders were particularly for
tunate. 1t appears that when the dis
covers arrived in TOnOpah with theiI
samples Attorney L. H Rogers hap
pened to meet them. He Immediately
notified John Cook, G. S. Johnson and
several other GOldfield people They
then arranged TO have James Davis OF
Sandstone and Great Bend fame t.
make a hurried trip, and upon his re-
turn with a favorable report a dea1
was quickly concluded.
Hundreds of tents are being hastily
erected, a townsite is being plated
new roads are being built and mes
sages from merchants for loads of sup
plies are being received.
