Scald bead in particular. In the first place we want to know tbe cauee, of which there are cover!; tiot dntrequently there is au abtence ot a sufficient amount of soap and water. Also gross and inhaling food, poik, salt or fresh, rich graviee, or cake, burnt grease of any fciud, stimulating drink ot an alcoholic nature, anything that tends to olog tbe system. The blood becomes impure, the skin undertakes to throw off the impurities', but in its clogged and weakened state is unable to do it, therefore it becomes diseased. Scald head in young children is very frequent ly caused by the dietetic habits of the mother. Treatment. Thoroughly and fre qcent bathing with a plaid trait and vegetable diet. A good formula will be first to give a full bath in tub; before putting the child in, put warm, wet cloths on the head or wash and soak the parts until Soft, wrap the feet iu hot, wet flannel cloths at the came time; when the sores are well softened put the child iu the tub with a' good flannel around its shoulders, temperature ot bath from &0W to 100, heat to 106 or 110a as the caBe requires (only never make the bath uncomfortably warm), pour the water over the shoulders Constantly while in the bath, remain m the bath from five to ten minute", (but usually short baths are better lLaa long onec)V When ready to come out cool the bath to 85 or 80J if agreeable; never dry any per son out of warm water; if you do you Jeave your patient relaxed aud liable to take cold. Give the bath one day, the next give a wet sheet pack, or railier a sheet and blanket together; wet them in hot wa ter; first put a comfortable on the bed, then a diy blanket, then your wet ones as hot as tbe patient can possibly bear; bring up one side of the covers at a time, tuck closely all of them and be sure the feet are warm and the head comfortably cool; remain in from bait an hour to an hour. This should be followed by a land washing of tepid water, the cool Tub sheet or a bath in tub one minute . warm, and one cool, wrap in a sheet and dry quickly; these baths always to - be followed by a quiet rdst. Foment the head and teet in the ev ening on retiring from fire to ten min ute?, then rinse the feet with cool water; dry well, pot a cool doth on the head made ot soft linen (two or three thick nesses), keep this on, day and night, wet in tepid or cool water. It the head , teems cool at night put a dry flannel one over the wet oue, also1 when going out in the wind, but when in a warm room have 00 only the linen,-as it will keep the parts too warm, aud that will induce inflammation. Keep them soft, n: out, con-taniXy covered, and com fortably cool; if there' are places that cannot be coveredrMt on some oil or sweet cream, and dust on a little flour, keep the parts well covered from tbe atmosphere, but not too warm.' ! need ed keep the bowel, open and free by tepid injections, eat principally graham, nuiermented "bread and fruits at regular meals and nothing between meals. Da. M. II ale Lufkxn. Calllornin Millionaires. The IT. Y. Bur aid says : Perhaps nowhere else in this world ha there heed so good a blending ot heart and hand as there has been among the pioneers of the Facific slope. Their sentiment has caused a brilliant writer to devote his pen to the pleasant task of telling stories' of their modesty; un selfishness and greatness. The Pioneers Of California have Dever done anything by "halves, and people trained' under the cold'' conversation ot the Eastern States have sometimes thought that everything on the Ppcffio slope, from the ' grapes to thor hotels and earth quake, or overgrown. But' Bret llarte's pan was not extravagant, and men who have made an empire' from ocean, to mountain" rever lose 'thefr hearts when they buiki palaces as storehouses for their gold. Tber'Bank of Nevada ia an outgrowth of the big lieaanza mm&7 There are .fottr men whose history is romance, and who, in comparative poverty, went to California taking modest positions in. trade and wishing honestly to earn their daily bread. They were ot more tban ordinary ability, as their success shows, and circumstances under which they worked developed their strength. John W. Mackay, man of much character, is the largest owner in the big bonanza mines, and he is one ot tbe least ostentations, as he is certainly one of the mort popular men west ot the Rocky Mountains. Colonel Fair, like Maekay, lives mainly in Nevada, near the mines, a quiet mac, with no hobbies, but with a purse which no worthy man iu distress ever found clos ed. O'Brien is dead. He was the Mark Mapeley of the Big Bonanza and no man ever found him out ot patience. Flood has rjenerally lived in San Fran. cisco, and it is to hivgenius that much of the success of the capitalists ot the Bauk of Nevada is due. He is keen, shrewd and strong, but not cold, and though ho has much ot that reserve ot manner which thoughtful men usually possess, his hand has never been known to hold a dollar very hard. From the men whoe-e money is behind the Bank ot Nevada in San Francisco, and whose hearts have never been hardened by succcs., come $25,000, in addition to S 10,000 which Mackay has already sent for the relief of the Irish poor. This great donation will natur ally awaken curiosity respecting the institution whose generosity is 60 munificent. Of course, the financial vorld needs no information on such a subject, but the general public has little knowledge ot American bank except those in their own part ot tbe country. The Nevada Bank is one ot the great moneyed iustitutions of the world. In consequence of excessive taxation on banking capital under the new Constitution of California, it re duced its capital on January 1st to $3,009,000, which leaves on its hands a surplus reserve of $3,500,000 invested in Cuited States Government bonds Moreover there stands on the books ot the Treasury . Department at Wash ington in United States stocks, property ot shareholders and registered in threo names of the bank, $20,500,500,000' The aggregate ot United Statesaecuritics held by the Nevada Bank and its share, holders is $27,000,000. Enocli Ardem Outdone. Some time prior to the war a young couple met and loved. After short courtship they were married and lived happily together. Children came to bless the union and they prospered well. When the war broke out his patriotic soul would not allow him to 6tay at home, and he' shouldered a musket and songht the battle-field in the defense of his country. Letters came regularly for a time, and then ceased entirely. Word was sent home that ha had been taken prisoner, and soon after the dread news came that he was dead. The news was considered so authentic that the Government allowed the widow and tho children a pension. After a reason able time she listened to the pleadings of another suitor and married him. They came to Atlantic, where her fa- j ther is an honored citizen, Laving mov ed here from tho eastern Iowa town which had been the home of the family. The second husband proved to be a worthless drunkard, and after a time t pent in mutual bickering, she got a diyorce on the ground ot intemperance and general cussed ness, so to speak. Not content with her bad luck, she con cluded to marry again, this time a man who was even a worse failure than her second husband, and who deliberately shook the dust off bis feet and -'lit ontw between two days, after living with her tor a tiine4 In the meantime, a quiet, unassuming man had come to Atlantic and hired to a prominent contractor here. He formed ah acquaintance with the la dy and her husband, dropping in at various times to spend an evening, and was on intimate terms generally. To have seen him, no one would have' thought for a moment he was acting out 9- strange romance. Time passed on and the husband slurped out, as afore said. One evening, after a little pre. limsnary conversation, be revealed him self to the astonished woman. He was the veritable first husband, so long con sidered dead, on account of which the pensions were still coming to the chil dren. Explanations followed in which it appeared that he had, after being re leased, written several letters home, but the family having removed from" their former home, and despairing'" of again hearing from them, had let the matter rest. He came to Atlantic without tbe slightest idea that he wonld meet any one he had ever seers, but recognized his former wife at once. Fintfrog that the recognition was not mutual, he conclude ed not to disturb the' cbtfpfe, but went oii with his daily denies as ot oM. The above are the facta in the care as given us by tue attorney' for the" woman. What tbe outcome of this strange affair will be, we have no idea, nor do we believe haye the parties them selves. We have not mentioned any names, because the lady is quite sensi tive in regard to the matter. Iowa Jtfessenffer. Diversity Of Oregon's Resources. The brilliant picture ot prosperity drawn upon the map of tbe near future for our State, depends not on the fact that it is an agricultural Bection ; that coal, iron, gold and silver abound; that its stock range is of vast extent, and its natural facilities for manufactures and commerce are unsurpassed, but upon all of these collectively. A farming popu lation eao never attain the bight ot pros perity, without it is interspersed with mechanical' industries and manufactures and is afforded facilities for commerce A mining and manufacturing people in turn depend upon the agricultural dis tricts tor their supplies, and the whole country thrives by the interchange ot products ot a diversified j industry Our State has all the resouices in a crude 6tate that go to make up the sum of prosperity. We need capital and labor to develop the resources. We want boot and shoe factories, additional wool en mills and iron and steel rolling mills. We want more sturdy farmers, who are not afraid to wield the mattock and who can inteligently improve seed ', time and harvest. We want bag factories that will save to the State the immense sums annnally paid to sack the wheat crop, and railways to pour this wheat prompt ly into the ships that wait to convey it abroad. All these things are within the possibilities of a very few years. Ener getic business meu see Oregon's opportu nity and will hasten to make it their own. Bee. Army Economy, j The kind of economy which Congress has acted upon in dealing expenditures tor the maintainance ot the army does not appear to be based npou an intelli gent understanding ot the subject. There has been a uiggardly,shortslght ed attempt at effecting saving by meth ods which, in the long run, have proved costly and extravagant. By refusing to authorize a reasonable increase in tha number ot enlisted men, the necessity has been created for transporting troops long distances at great expense. For instance, there can be no question at all that to have increased the rank and file ot the army last year to the extent of say 5000 men, so that the garrisons in places where troops were needed would have been strong enough for all exigencies, would have involved much less expense than was inclined by transporting little squads ot men im mense distances by railroad and other modes of conveyance. Moreover, the troops would have been immediately available wherever they were needed to prevent Indian outrages or for any other purpose. The expense incurred by the Government during the last nine mouths in moving handfuls of troops from one place to another in compliance with urgent local demands was probably far greater than would have sufficed to increase the army to such an extent as to render it practicable to maintain garrisons and military posts at every point where difficulties with the Indians could be reasonably anticipated. Chronicle. A Boy Killed by ails Brotber. The Maiiposa Gazette of February 7th has this item : On Tuesday last, the 3d instant, at about 5 o'clock in the after noon, our citizens were shocked by the report tliat Albert Clift, a boy about twelve years of age, son of James P. Clift of this place, had been shot by his brother, who is about two years older, and was about to die. It appears that the two brothers had just returned from school wheu Willie, the oldest. who. had searched out the hiding-place of his father's pistol, aud not supposing it was loaded, took aud presented it at his brother, at the same time saying, "I've got you hold up your hands, you itobber," (imitating a play called "Sheriff and robber," very much prac ticed among the schoolboys of this place) at the same moment pulled the trigger, and way went tbe fatal messenger of death, penetrating the brother's neck, cutting the main r artery aod ' passing through, or nearly so- As soon as tho elder brother became cocscious of what lie had done, he ran up town in search of his father, who was soon found and informed of the calamity that had be fallen Lis favorite son. Dr. Kavaiiaugh was immediately called in, but all hu man skill was ot do avail.. The boy expired in about an hour from the time he received the fatal shot. ' An Oil City Irishman having afgned the pledge, was charged soon afterward with having drank. . I'tvftts iiw absent fntndedness," said Pat, art ft fwWt I hate tft talkiii' wtd Diesel f. Isnfd to mrself, sez I, 'Pat comer1 hv. an' haver a drink.' 'Jfd suf sea I, I've sworn off. 'Then 1'Jl drink' alone,' sez I to mreseff, 'An' I'll wait for yea outside,-' seZ I, An whin rneselt cura out, Cikb atri' he was drunk." Origin of a Popular Sonar, ' The Old Oaken Bucket" was written fifty or more years ago, by a printer named Samuel Wood worth. He iwas in the habit of dropping into a noted drinking saloon kept by orw Mallory. One day, after drinking a glass of brandy and water, he smacked his lips and de dared that Mallory's brandy was superior to any drink he had ever tasted. "No," said Mallory, "you are mis taken. There Is a drink which in both our estimations far surpassed this." "What was that?" incredulously asked Wood worth. "The tresh spring water we used to drink from the old oaken bucket that hung in the well, after returning from the fields on a sultry day." "Very true," replied Wool worth, tear drops glistening in bis eyes. Returning to Lis printing office, he seated himself at his desk and began to write. In halt an hour : "The old oaken bucket, the Iron-bound bucket. The mosseovered bucket which hung lit the well," was embalmed in an inspiring song that has become as familiar as a household word. Notwithstanding the recent death of his only son, the well known name Gov. E. D. Morgan is to be perpetuated. He has just caured the name of his grand son and only lineal descendant to be changed from Arthur Denison Morgan to Edwin D. Morgan, Jr. The court cheerfully granted the order upon the necessary affidavit establishing the facta first, that Gov. Morgan approved this adoption of his name, and second that the change was not a device for escaping pecuniary liabilities. It may well be imagined that little evidence was needful to establish either the grandfather's willingness or the grand' son's solvency Always best wheu rare family broils. "Mankind," said a preacher, "em. braces women." : In this world bray in' is too often mis taken for brain. The man who most feelingly recog nizes that all flesh is grass is the one who has the hay fever. "We've moved into our own house, now," Said Spilkins, "and have quit the pay-rent al root forever." A young man calls bis girl, who has promised to marry him 'Silence," be cause sha gives consent. Wheu Adirondack Murray puts a bullet through a deer, he joyfully ex claims, "There's another buck-bored ! Dr. Holland says a man's character may be judged by his cravat. It he wears no cravat we suppose he hasu't any, "If you wish to train up your hild in the way he should go, just skirmish ahead on that line yourself," said wise Josh Billings. "Very soon o'er are the dreams of youth, ' 6i'gl)9 a current bard. Yes, in deed. And, by the way, that's a very soon oar that Hanlou pulls. The prevailing style ot wide bulls worn by the ladies is calculated to im press oue with the belief that a great deal of leather belting is going to waist. Englishmen are great lovers of har mony s perhaps this accounts for the piece the government so often slices off from other countries. ST. CHARLES HOTEL, ALBANY, : . OREGON, Mrs. C. Houk, Proprietor.
