Misa May Talcott, a niece of Ex-Governor 
Seymour, is writing a history of the Seymour 
family. 
Mr Rutherford B. Hayes is considered a 
model husband because he assists in shelling 
beans and peeling potatoes for dinner. 
Herbert Spencer has emerged from his 
American privacy long enough to inform 
somebody that Oscar Wilde “ is an outlandish 
person who attempted to reconcile idiocy with 
art.” 
The General Warren fund now amounts to 
about $12,000. It is proposed to build a cot¬ 
tage at Newport from the proceeds of the 
fund and rent the premises during the season 
for the benefit of the family, who will occupy 
it save when it is rented in the Summer. 
The King of Greece, says an English writer, 
is a moderately early riser; in Summer he 
makes bis appearance about seven A. M.. and 
in Winter at eight. Coffee is served at nine; 
luncheon, or breakfast, at one, and dinner at 
half-past seven. He reads a little, walks a 
great deal, and in driving out is nearly always 
accompanied by the Queen. 
The oldest twins now living in the United 
States, it b said, are Bernard and John Kep¬ 
ler, who still live in Plumstead, Bucks County, 
Pa., where they were born on March 27,1792. 
They never have parted company for a day, 
and have only been out of the county once, 
when, in 1860, they visited Philadelphia for a 
short time. They voted for President Madi¬ 
son for his second term, and have voted at 
every Presidential election since. 
Miss Annie Barr, whom Senator David 
Davis is to marry, lives at Tokay, North 
Carolina, with her cousin, Colonel Wharton 
J. Green, the Democratic candidate for Con¬ 
gress in the ,Second District of that State. 
Tokay is three miles from Fayetteville and is 
surrounded by the largest vineyard in the 
South. The date fixed for the marriage is 
November 5. Miss Barr is about 30 years of 
age, and is a charming woman. She pasted last 
Winter in Washington, where the engagement 
was made. Colonel Green is a man of great 
wealth and Miss Barr is an heiress in her own 
right.

The Sedgwick Steel Wire Fence 
Is the only general purpose wire fence in use. Being 
a stroug net-work without barbB, it will turn dogs, 
pigs, poultry as well as the most vicious stock, with¬ 
out danger to either fence or stock. It is Just the 
fence for farmers, gardeners, stock-raisers, and rail¬ 
roads; very-desirable for lawpB, parks or ceuietorins. 
As it ia covered with rust-proor paint it will latta life¬ 
time. Itis superior to boards in every rej >6ct, and far 
better than barbed ■aim. We ask for it a fair trial, 
knowing It wilt WEAh itnidf into favor. The Sano- 
wick Gates, made of wrought iron pipe and steel 
wire, defy all competition m neatness, li*htnn«n
