Lord Dufferln’a term as Governor-General of 
Canada expires June l. He lias held the offlee 
since 1872, and both he and the Countess are ex¬ 
ceedingly popular. 
The Illinois papers are again hinting at Hon. 
E JL Wasburne for next President. We suppose 
h will be put on the course for Congreas and the 
Senate as a urst step. 
The Bareness Bnrdett-Coutts Is the richest 
and most philanthropic woman In England. The 
bank Of that name Is hers. Hundreds have pro¬ 
posed to her, but she somehow thought, not be¬ 
ing handsome, 'twas her money they wanted. 
She has been troubled all her life with a heredi¬ 
tary skin disease. She dresses always in black. 
Her Christian name Is Angela. 
Ex-Gov. Morgan, of this State, began business 
lire In New York at the age of twenty-six as a 
jobbing grocer, on a capital of $5,000. He retired 
from trade after nine years with a fortune which 
he has subsequently Increased, till he Is now esti¬ 
mated to be worth ten millions. He has a son, 
Edwin 1). ]r., who Is an able physician, and a 
grandson who Is just becoming a society man. 
The Telegraph reported the other day 
that Jefferson Davis was received with spec¬ 
ial honors by President Diaz of Mexico. The per¬ 
son so entertained proves not to be the chief of 
the late confederacy, but Brigadier-General 
Jefferson C. Davis of the United States army, 
commanding on the Bio Grande frontier. What 
at first seemed to a studied, affront to the Uni¬ 
ted states, turns out to be a graceful compli¬ 
ment. 
It Is not so very bad after all to be an ex-em¬ 
press. The once gay and beautiful Eugenie has 
an Income of $250,000 upon which she manages to 
pay her grocery bill and to live In what Is called 
“dignified recrement” at Chlselhurst, England, 
where abe dally lakes long walks about the 
pretty lanes and wide commons. Sundays and 
fast days, and on tho Dth of each month, she 
visits the Catholic church where lie her hus¬ 
band’s remains. She gives up her mornings to 
her correspondence and the newspapers, break¬ 
fasts at noon, and, as she has a royal memory 
and much vivacity, makes the meal a charming 
occasion; Leas at live o’clock, usually receiving 
neighbors or visitors at that time, and dines at 
eight.
