PERSONAL ITEMS, 
Many oT our public men, *nys Col. Forney. In 
his “ Anecdotes,” «rc capital amateur editors. 
He gives the following examples“ Thomas H. 
Ilciiton was u valuable and vigorouscontributor 
to The Globe,In the war upon the United States 
Bank. Ills style was trenchant, utld elevated, 
and his facts generally impregnable. James 
Buchanan was a frequent writer In iny old paper. 
The Lancaster Intelligencer and Journal, and in 
The Pennsylvanian. His diction was cold and 
unsympathetic, but exact, clear and condensed, 
nis precise and elegant chirogruphy was the de¬ 
light or the compositors. Judge Douglas wrote 
little, but suggested much. 11 is mind teemed 
with ' points.’ I never spent an honr with him 
which did not furnish me with new ideas. He 
was a treasure to an editor, because lie possessed 
the rare faculty of throwing new light upon 
every subject In the shortest possible time. Ex- 
Attoriioy-fJoneral J. S. Black would have made 
a superb journalist, and was a ready and useful 
contributor. His style is terse, rresh and schol¬ 
arly. Caleb Cushing Is another statesman who 
once delighted In editorial writing, and still oc¬ 
casionally varies bis heavy professional toil by 
the same agreeable relaxation. T have lcuown 
him to stand up to liis tall desk, and dash off col¬ 
umn after column on foreign and domestic poli¬ 
tics, on art,on flnnnee, with astonishing rapidity 
and ease.*' 
They have In Paris an English “Peabody.” 
His name Is Richard Wallace. He Is the heir of 
the late Marquis of Hurl ford, god is reputed to 
be immensely rich. He has already given sev¬ 
eral munificent sums to the Municipality of 
Pari6, to bo devoted to carious specific benevo¬ 
lent purposes. He established and sustained nn 
ambulance, and gives largely to others. His 
latest donation is a sum ol’ lUU/HK) francs (120,000) 
as a first subscription toward a Patriotic Fund 
In favor of the victims of the bombardment,— 
that is, of families which have been compelled. 
In consequence of it to abandon their homes,and 
are in immediate need of help. 
Every Saturday thinks that Mile. Nillsou, 
ore she leaves this country, will have received 
an impression that wo are a matrimonial people, 
and adds:—“ We havo formed at least six matri¬ 
monial alliances for her, and though our friend¬ 
ly interest was perhaps not quite in good taste, 
she will do us ilie Justice to recognize the fact 
that wc have In each instance selected a distin¬ 
guished gentleman to carry out our well-meant 
programme. Wc linvegiven her a famous artist, 
a celebrated author, a French nobleman, and a 
brace or t wo of millionaires to choose from; all 
of which was very magnanimous on our part, 
since wc have nil of us fallen in lovo with her 
ourselves."

Avay & Sons) dual in New York city Tuesday,
