THE RURAL -NEW-YORKER. 
S3© 
PERSONALS. 
The Princess of Wales and her daughter 
take exercise on the tricycle. 
Mr. Gladstone is still younger by seven years 
than Palmerston when Premier. 
But for liistwo cold baths daily it is thought 
that Darwin might have lived ten years 
longer. 
It is said that Colonel Rockwell is the only 
man now alive who saw the two murdered 
Presidents die. 
Rheumatic Mr. Burke bathed himself in 
turpentine at Lyons, Iowa, and then lighted a 
pipe for a comfortable smoke. He was burned 
to death. 
A farmer and fruit grower near Denison, 
Texas, Dr. Lawrence Washington, is the 
grand nephew of the Father of his Country. 
Chief-Engineer George W. Melville, who 
has been searching for the missing boat and 
party of the Jeannette, has bright blue eyes, 
fair skin, weighs one hundred and ninety, is a 
skilled athlete, and belongs to an old Knicker¬ 
bocker family. 
Almost everything in Darwin’s conserva¬ 
tory, where he found bis recreation, was of 
the moss order. Oneof his experiments was to 
plant a shrub with the roots up, and make it 
grow, showing that light and heat are the 
most essential conditions of giowth. 
Canon Farrar, who preached in Westmin¬ 
ster Abbty a sermon on Darwin, took this ap¬ 
propriate text: “ And he spake of trees, from 
the cedar that is in Lebanon even unto the 
hyssop that springeth out of the wall; he 
spake also of beasts, and of fowl, and of creep¬ 
ing things, and of fishes.” 
Mr. Murat Halstead says that Deacon Rich¬ 
ard Smith’s proposition to stop the milk carts 
delivering milk to infants on Sunday “ out- 
Herods Herod. It would make the massacre 
of the babes of Bethlehem and the region 
round about of comparative insignificance.” 
This is a Cincinnati squabble. 
Mr. W. D. Howells’s handwriting is nerv¬ 
ous, small, irregular, and prepossessing; so is 
that of Mr. Aldrich ; Mr. T. W. Htgginson’s 
is what might be be called picturesque script, 
resembling Robert Browning’s; Mr*. Burnett’s • 
is large, rather careless, and unpunctunted; 
Mr. George W. Cable’s indicates the closest 
nicety, 
-» ♦ ♦ 
*** “Necessity is the mother of invention.” 
Diseases of tho liver, kidneys and bowels 
brought forth that sovereign remedy Kidney- 
Wort, which is nature’s normal curative for 
all those dire complaints. In either liquid or 
dry form it is a perfect remedy for those ter¬ 
rible diseases that cause so many deaths.—
