PERSONALS. 
General J. E. B. Stuart’s widow is principal 
of a Virginia seminary. 
Ex-Senator Sharon has bought a ranch of 
80,000 acres in Merced County, Cal. 
The gifts of the late Edwin B. Morgan to 
Wells College, at Aurora, N. Y., foot up about 
$304,000. 
Ex President Ilayes will harvest about 
20,000 bushels of grain on his Dakota farm 
this year. 
Mrs. Emerson the widow of Ralph Waldo 
Emerson,, though eighty-three years old, 
retains her powers to a remarkable degree. 
John L. Frisbie, Consul at Rheims, says 
that two years of constant work and care are 
necessary to make a good bottle of champagne. 
“ The Blaine and Davis Road” is the local 
name of the new West Virginia railroad con¬ 
trolled by Seuator Davis and the ex Secretary. 
The Governor of Iowa has distributed $28,- 
244, contributed from various sources, for the 
relief of the sufferers by the cyclone in that 
State. 
General Hawley is to be permitted to re¬ 
ceive “decorations” from Holland, Japan 
and Spain for his services in connection with 
the Philadelphia Exhibition. 
Grace Greenwood says that Garibaldi left a 
sadly divided family. “Tne children of 
Anita do not harmonize with the children of 
the peasant woman, Francesca, still less with 
the widow herself.” 
Seated one balmy afternoon on the veranda 
of Mrs. Howe’s residence in Newport, Oscar 
Wilde was heard to remark to a lady who 
was preaent: “Strange that a pair of silk 
stockings should so upset a nation,” where¬ 
upon a well-known gentleman, sitting a little 
remote from the poet, interposed: “It’s the 
calf that is in the stockings.” 
The following saying of the late Sir Henry 
Bulwer about the national character of the 
Turks, is good: “When the Turk does any¬ 
thing, consider what is the reasonable, 
straightforward interpretation to place on 
that act. Then eliminate absolutely' that con¬ 
clusion. Any other may be possible; but that 
certainly will not be.” 
-- 
***** Unbidden guests are often welcomest 
when they are gone.” Disease is an unbidden 
guest which Kidney-Wort almost invariably 
“shows the door." Here is a case in point: 
‘Mother has reooverei,” wrote an Illinois 
girl to her Eastern relatives. “ She took bit¬ 
ters for a long time but without any good. 
So when she heard of the virtues of Kidney- 
Wort she got a box and it completely cured 
her, so that she can do as much work now as 
she could before we moved West. Since she 
got well every one about here is taking it.”—
