FACTS FOR FARMERS^ 
It Is said of Prince Bismarck that In his youth 
he never, parted with a manuscript without care¬ 
fully revising It; and once, when rallied on his 
caution, rejoined: “It Is no credit to be right 
where It would bo Inexcusable to bo wrong.’- 
Would that all would carefully revise their manu¬ 
scripts, before puzzling or exasperating others 
with them 1 
There Is a kinship ln royalty which blossoms 
out on occasions or grief. Queen Victoria’s tele¬ 
gram of condolence to the King of Spain on the 
death of his young wire, was as follows“ Dear 
Brother, my heart bleeds for you. What an aw¬ 
ful mlsrortune It has pleased God to send you! 
May lie give you strength to bear this terrible 
loss.” 
Mr. Bryant was probably the wealthiest poet 
this country has produced, and, with perhaps the 
exceptions Of Samuel Kogers and Lord Byron, t he 
wealthiest, or among the wealthiest, of the Old 
World. Ills estate la said to bo worth *500,00. 
Newspaper writing, and still more judicious In¬ 
vestment, however, added much more to his riches 
than ever his poetry did. 
The town of Elton, Durham County, England, 
puts ln a claim to having tho oldest woman in 
the world as one of Its citizens. Her name Is Mary 
Benton, and though alleged to have been born 
February 12, iffu, and therefore to be ln her 143l.li 
year, still she Is In possession of all her faculties, 
perrect memory, hearing and eyesight. She eooks, 
washes and irons, threads her own rieudlo and 
sews without spectacles. 
A Park) letter-writer says that no American 
lady leads so brilliant a Urn as Madame Wadding- 
ton, tho wife of the French Minister ot Foreign 
Affairs. A strange cornninutton of nationalities 
this family presents. Ue 1 r of naturalized British 
parents, was educated under Arnold at Rugby, 
and rowed In the Trinity eight at Cambridge. 
His wire Ls daughter ot the late President King, 
of Columbia College, this city. 
The first introduction of John B, Gough to the 
people of Worcester, Mass,, among whom for 
many yoars he has made his home, was In ism, 
when he visited that city with a diorama or the 
Battle of Bunker mil. ills business In connec¬ 
tion with the show was to turn a crank that set 
the figures In motion, and to sing songs in the 
praises of the exhibition, lie disliked tho life, 
for while he made others laugh he was very sad 
lilmseir, and soon received work from a kind- 
hearted book-binder there. 
While few English Prime Ministers have been 
very rich, some have been conspicuously Impe¬ 
cunious. Pitt never married, and declared that 
he couldn’t alTord It, and Canning and Disraeli 
were holstcred up by wealthy wives. Tho late 
Lord Derby and Sir Robert Pool are the only In¬ 
stances ot very wealthy Prime Ministers, though 
Lord Melbourne was very well ofi’. Lord Palmers¬ 
ton only become so. late In lire, through a rise in 
mineral property. Ills wife, too, succeeded to her 
brother Lord M elbourne’s estates.

man, with gray hair and moustache, a broad fore¬ 
head, and a peculiar dilating blue eye. 
Secretary Evarts has gone to his country seat

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore Is a thrifty woman. 
It ls said that she realizes $13,000 a year from

greatest care. 
Mr. Layard, British Minister at Constantinople, 
has become Sir Henry Layard, G. C. B. Ho Is ot 
Hugenot descent, and first was known to fame by 
discovering the Nlnevah bulls. Ills Intimacy with 
the East dates as far back as 1839. when ho was 
only 22. 
There Is no truth tn the statement that has late¬ 
ly been going the rounds, to the effect that Jenny 
Lind Ls poor. She ls worth at least $2,000,006, hair 
of which was made In America. Hor husband, 
Mr. Goldschmidt, invested It so successfully that 
it has largely luoroasod. 
The richest heiress In America Is said to be 
Miss Celeste Wlnans, daughter of tho late Mr. 
Thomas Wlnans, of Baltimore. The young lady

Dr. Hclmbold, or buchu fame, has Just failed ln 
an effort 10 supersede tho commission in lunacy, 
which for some time has directed his atralrs. 
The Philadelphia court, before which the ap¬ 
plication was made, ln denying the petition, 
decides that Uelnibold Is a lunatic with lucid 
intervals. 
Physicians to the Emperor William ascribe 
his Majesty’s relatively slow progress towards 
recovery to the grwit loss of blood and appetite, 
to the shock to his system and to mental de¬ 
pression. Ills power of locomotion ls small. Ills 
hands are helpless and he can only eat with
