Mr. Justice Davis will make Chicago his per¬ 
manent homo. 
Mrs. Grant now weighs bIx pounds more than 
her husband, who tips the beam at 108, the ma- 
dame requiring 174. 
General Fltz Lee and Senator Johnson will visit 
England for the purpose of capturing Virginia 
Immigrants. 
A South Carolina negro says of Wade Hamp¬ 
ton : “ Fo’ de Lawd! tout ebery time dat man 
opens his mouf I feels dat I am turnin’ whiter an’ 
gettln’ de kinks out’n my h’ar.” 
One of General Fremont’B shoulders Is much 
higher than the other, and the old campaigner 
is very gray, too. Ho Is now in New York and 
will not enter upon his Gubernatorial duties In 
Arizona until August.. 
When Jett Davis unfortunately came to life the 
other day and spoke his secession piece before 
the army of Tennessee, the star-spangled banner 
kept up such a patriotic flapping Just over his 
head that it annoyed him. 
“ Will aud Ella,” said Mrs. Agent Hughes of 
the Standing Rock, D. T., Indian Post, speaking 
of General and Mrs. Sherman, “ are my warmest, 
friendsand when the profane W. Tecumseh 
heard about it he wrote a letter denying the soft 
impeachment. 
Deaeonafleld was once dining with Princess 
Mary of Teck, when the hostess said; You 
have the Queen with you, Parliament, and the 
country; what more do you want 7” Lord Bea- 
consfleld glanced at hts plate, and solemnly re¬ 
plied, “ Potatoes, ma’am.” 
Congressman Schleicher, of Texas, deposited 
his three hundred pounds avoirdupois In a Hous¬ 
ton chair and was Interviewed. The Mexicans, 
he Bald, want to light; they must flght; they 
doubtless will tight, and the only thing torus to 
do Is to guard the Rio Grande In a proper way. 
TUden is an early riser, and the neighbors can 
see him any pleasant morning he Is In Qramercy 
Square attired in a negligent costume of dress¬ 
ing-gown, slippers and other articles, from which 
mysterious strings dangle, engaged in Interview¬ 
ing every bud and blossom that springs from the 
well-kept grounds. 
Senor Mata, the newly-appointed Mexican 
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Is a black-haired, 
black-eyed and black-bearded little fellow, well 
oiled at. the joints of the knee. But what Is of 
more Importance, he Is a good friend to this 
country, seeing that we could swallow the land 
of the Montezumas at a gulp, and wants peace 
on the Rio Grande. 
After he had so dramatically electrified the 
New York politicians by the suspension or Arthur 
and Cornell, during his recent visit- to this city, 
sec. Sherman went down to Long Brancu and 
touched off a sensation there. In a chut with ex- 
Governor War mouth and Tom Murphy, Mr. Sher¬ 
man yivld: Grant Is now the man 1 think. If 
the Republican Convention were held now he 
would bo nominated easily.’’ 
Chin Han Pin, the new ambassador to the Uni¬ 
ted states from China, la accompanied by a Con¬ 
sular corps accredited to Cuba, Peru and San 
Francisco. Chin Uan Pin Is a highly educated 
and distinguished diplomat and a talesman, and 
has been commissioner to several countries. He 
visited tills couutry Borne years ago to arrange 
for the education of Chinese students. Ho will 
remain here about ten years at Washington. 
Mr. Thurman la described as the most unosten¬ 
tatious-looking man la tue Senate. He dislikes 
an undertaker-like suit of black broadcloth, and 
generally wears light gray clothes of loose and 
comfortable lit.. Ho Is Independent enough to 
cany a snuff-box, as Henry Clay and other 
statesmen of curlier days did. Ills dally life In 
Washington Is more like that of an honest, well- 
to-do farmer thau a Senator’s, and he thoroughly 
enjoys the comforts of borne. 
Georgo 8. Appleton, who died in New York 
lately, was the linguist and business man of 
the Appleton publishing firm. He understood all 
the modern languages, arranged for all press 
contracts and advertisements, and attended to 
the publication of all the works. Hla two elder 
brothers were among the founders or the Century 
Club, but he only became a member la 1873. Of 
the completed club roll of uoe members, Mr. 
William Cullen Bryant was the first to die, and 
Mr. Appleton was the second.
