OFTHE 
APRIL 12 
PERSONAL, 
The Prince of Wales has been speaking 
before the Institute of Agriculture, at Syden¬ 
ham, in favor of ensilage. 
Alfred Chadwick yoked his wife to a 
plow with a steer, for which Judge Jenui- 
son of Detroit gave her a divorce. He in¬ 
sisted that he only followed the geueral usage 
among the market gardeners of Western 
Canada. 
Postmaster General Gresham was born 
in 1833. General Grant recommended him 
for appolutmeut as a Brigadier-General. 
Before Atlanta, he was in Blair’s corps. In 
1865 he was made a Major General. He still 
li ups from a wound. 
Minister Sargent is a Massachusetts man. 
A politician of California recently said: “ Al¬ 
though Sargent is a Republican and I a Demo¬ 
crat, it must be confessed that he has done 
more for the Pacific Slope than any Senator 
or Congressman we have ever had.” 
The Czar of Russia, has an income of ten 
million dollars from his landed estates: Prince 
Schwartzenburg and Prince Liechtenstein, 
of Austria, have about six milJkns a year; the 
Duke of Westminster’s rents from estate in 
Loudon alone are about eight millions: the 
Duke of Norfolk's income from his farms is 
about a million and a half. 
There is a grand rivalry in jam between 
the Queen of Saxony. President Grevy and 
Premier Gladstone. The Queen seems to have 
the best of if. She spends whole weeks in the 
Autumn in making jam, but the courtiers, 
notwithstanding their desire to be compli¬ 
mentary, find their capacity for jam eating 
limited, aud the bulk of the Queen’s preserves 
is distributed to the poor of Dresden.
