PERSONALS. 
Ex-President Hayes was 60 years old last 
Wednesday, and President Arthur 52 years 
old on the day following. 
Senator Mitchell, of Pennsylvania, writes 
from his son’s ranch atStickney, Dakota, that 
his health is by no means good. 
Of Ben Butler the New York Sun says: 
“ Though 65 years of age, he is full of energy, 
youthful in spirit, festive in life, gmeious in 
disposition, and fresh as ever in all the re¬ 
sources of his intellect. 
Ezra Meeker, of Puyallup, California is the 
largest hop miser in the United States. This 
year he will gather a crop from 93 acres, 
the yield from which is estimated at 150,010 
pounds. Next year he will have about 120 
acres in hops alone. 
It is reported that ex-V ; ce-President Wheel¬ 
er is to be married to Mrs. Woodworth, 
whose husband, tLe Surgeon General of the 
Marine Hospital service, died in Washington 
three years 8go. Tbewife of Dr. Woodworth 
and the late Mrs. Wheeler were warm friends. 
Heirs to the Hedges fortune of #250,000,000 
are expecting their “ ship to come in” from 
England with the cash on board. The 
Hedges had better tackle onto shovel and pick¬ 
axe. They ’ll get rich that w ay quicker than 
by the inheritance of the English fortune 
Henry Todd, who lives in Darien, Ga., is 
the wealthiest colored man in Georgia. When 
a youth his master died and left him his free¬ 
dom. When the Confederacy fell he lost 20 
slaves and some Confederate bonds. After 
the war he continued farming operations and 
engaged in the lumber business. He is now 65 
years old, and is worth #100,000 well invested. 
Senator Macpherson has on his farm at Van 
Aken Station, Somerset County, N. J., what 
is believed to be the largest silo in the United 
States; it is ICO feet long, 40 feet wide and 20 
feet deep. It now contains SO car loads of 
brewers’ grains, and will shortly have stored 
in it the carrots and beets grown on twenty 
acres. Mr. Macpherson intends to feed 500 
head of cat'ie on this farm next Winter. 
The last w ill of General Judson Kilpatrick, 
extcuted in Santiago, Chili, a short time 
before his death, bequeaths ell of his property 
to his wife, gives his battle flag, presented to 
him by his regiment, to the State of New 
Jersey, and bequeaths to the War Department 
of Washington his Damascus sword and 
scabbard of silver, presented to him by the 
troops under his command after the battle
