Manhattan Club, of New York, previous to 
his departure for his post as Minister to Greece* 
Madarre Christine Nilsson has stated that 
she will resume her professional life for three

Mr. Panic-lFs Easter egg bad a shell of sil 
ver, and the contents were one hundred gui" 
neas from Liverpool sympathizers to buy com" 
forts for the prisoners in Kilmainham. 
Judge Burker, of Winchester, Va., who sen¬ 
tenced John Brown to be hanged, was at the 
Capitol in Washington the other day. and at¬ 
tracted much attention. He is a rather small, 
thick set man, with dark gray hair. 
Senator Miller’s (of California) anti Chinese 
speech is in such demand that though 40,000 
copies have been distributed, 20,000 more are 
being printed. The postage on these copies, 
had Mr, Miller been required to pay it, would 
have amounted to over $1,000. 
Representative Perry Belmont gets his first 
name from the famous old naval family of 
Perrys. Mr. Belmont is a cousin of Mr. Par¬ 
nell, the Parliamentary fighter, and his fight¬ 
ing father, August Belmont, limps yet from a 
wound received in a duel. 
The Pope has an eel farm in the lugoons of 
Commaehio. Several tons of eels are taken 
from the lagoons every Emit. The fish come 
up in immen te shoals from the Adriatic, and 
are fed iu the hgoons on other fish provided 
for them until thej" are nicely fattened, when 
they are killed anil cooked in a vast kitchen. 
The luborers on these water-farms dwell in 
barracks built on an island. 
Senator Hill’s friends think that he will not 
be able to live the year out. ltseems thattho 
Senator has had very little hope of favorable 
results from treatment, owing to the fact that 
he was al tacked by a disease which lie inherited 
and which lias carried off a brother, a sister 
and two aunts. The Senator’s brother, Dr. 
Hill, died of cancer in the stomach, and his 
sister was attacked very much as he had been, 
by a cancer, both resulting fatally, lie has 
just resigned his seat in the U. S. Senate.
