PERSONALS. 
Only eight farmers have ever been elected 
to Congress in Maine. 
It is reported that William M. Evarts is 
■writing his autobiography. 
The health of Tonrgutineir, the great Rus- 
an novelist, is causing- some anxiety to his 
riends. 
Krupp, the German gun maker, has en¬ 
gaged 8,000 more workmen. The whole force 
now exceeds 13,000 men. 
This is Walt Whitman’s estimate of Emer¬ 
son: "A just man, poised on himself, all lov¬ 
ing, all consoling, and sane and clear as the 
sun.” 
Stephen Jenner, grandnephew of the dis¬ 
coverer of vaccination, and himself the sub¬ 
ject of some of his early experiments, is 
living at the age of 85 in great poverty at 
Heathfie d, England. 
Gen. Abe Burford, recently converted to 
Christianity, is one of the most noted of Ken¬ 
tucky horse breeders and racers. He recently 
announced that he had sold all his fast horses, 
though he did not believe that continuing to 
own and drive them would be inconsistent 
with a Christian life. 
There are a number of coincidences in the 
life of Queen Victoria of Great Britain. This 
year, 1S82, is the nineteenth year of the 20?th 
cycle of nineteen years, Queen Victoria was 
born in 1819, and adding the digits of that 
year the total is nineteen. In her 19th year 
she ascended the throne; the digits of that 
year, 1837, added together, make nineteen. 
This year, 1882, the total sum of the figures is 
also nineteen. This will do for nineteen. There 
is another series of nines, however, The Queen 
had nine children. This year she will have 
reigned 45 years, and the sum of 4 and 5 is 
nine. This year she will be f’>8 years old, 
and again 6 and 3 make nine. This year the 
Queen will have lived 21 years a virgin, 21 
years a wife and 21 years a widow, and the 
sum of these digits is nine.

*** “Little thanks are due to him who only 
gives away what is of no use to himself.” The 
thanks of invalids the world over are being 
showered on the inventor of Kidney-Wort, 
for it is giving health to all. Kidney-wort 
juoves the bowels regularly, cleansesthe blood 
and radically cures kidney disease, gravel, 
piles, bilious headache and pains which are 
caused by disordered liver and kidneys. Thou¬ 
sands have been cured—why should you not 
try it.—Ada.
