PERSONALS. 
Senator W indom is spending $00,000 on his 
new home in Washington. 
Gen.Sherman’s salary will be about the same 
after bis retirement as it is now—about$15,000. 
Mrs Langtry’s wardrobe is said to have 
cost her about $8,000, but Adelina Patti will 
appear on the stage in $400,000 worth of dia¬ 
monds, and some expensive clothing too. 
Viscount Tarbat, second son of the Dube of 
Sutherland, and heir of his mother’s earldom 
of Cromartie, is on his way to this country on 
busiuess connected with his father’s land pur¬ 
chases in the Northwest. 
Mrs. M. A. .Tnckion, widow of General 
“Stonewall" Jackson who is visiting in 
Cleveland, Ohio, writes that her health is now 
excellent, and that she will soon return to 
her home iu the South. 
The London Queen says that some idea of 
the luxury in Mr. Bennett's yacht, the Na- 
mouna, may be gained by the fact that even 
iu the engineer’s room the sofas are covered 
with real morocco. 
A Philadelphia preacher, the Rev. J. D. 
Kurtz, has made himself disliked and notori¬ 
ous by denouncing William Penn as a rum- 
seller, and charging him with purchasing 
land from the Indians with fire water. 
Professor Leidy, Mr, Le Conte ami Dr 
Weir Mitchell are on the American commit¬ 
tee, of which Asa Gray is chairman, on the 
Darwin memorial. The memorial will proba¬ 
bly include the endowment of a sc holarship to 
carrj r on biological research. 
The wife of Senator LamBr, who has lain 
at the poiut of death for several months, is 
now reported to be on the road to convales¬ 
cence. She and Senator Lamar are in St. 
Louis, at the home of their niece. 
Jay Gould has awarded the contract for the 
building of a yacht fur bis exclusive use. The 
craft will be310 feet long, made of iron aud 
steel, and in point of beauty and comfort 
will probably surpass anything heretofore 
constructed. When completed it is said he 
will make a two-years-trip round the world 
in her, leaving the financial nulls and bears 
to battle without any stimulus from him. 
Strauss, the composer, has recently pur¬ 
chased a house in Paris, and declares that he 
will end his days there. He intends to leave 
Vienna as soon as his last opera, “ Une 
Nuit A Vienne,” is produced. The cause of his 
removal is reported to be domestic infelicity 
and a consequent divorce suit, and this has 
given him a distaste for the Austrian capital. 
Strauss’s fist wife died two years ago. 
***“Keep to your place and your place will 
keep you.” But you cannot expect to keep 
your place without health, the foundation of 
all success. For instance, a railroad engineer 
in the employ of the C. M. & 8t. Paul R. R. 
had beon grievously affected with diabetes 
for six years. He took (our boxes of Kidney- 
Wort aud now writes that he is entirely cured 
and marking regularly.—.4dt>.
