The Emperor of China, Kwang-Su, is thir¬ 
teen years old. 
Four hundred thousand dollars have been 
given to Cornell University by Mr. Henry 
W. Page. 
Although past his eighty-fourth year, 
Simon Cameron’s mental powers are said to 
be undiminished. 
Robert Collier says he has been firing at 
the bull’s-eye of poverty all his life, and has 
never missed hitting it. 
When Sheridan was asked if he had ever 
undergone an operation, he said that ho had 
had his hair cut, and had set for his portrait. 
Senator Anthony never used tobacco till 
he was fifty, and then only for bronchitis, 
which it failed to relieve, and he abandoned 
it. 
The new colored cadet at West Point, Julius 
Mitchell, of South Carolina, is said to be a 
good scholar, but the blackest man they have 
yet had there. 
The philanthropist W. W. Corcoran, of 
Washington, having grown particular about 
his food, eats nothing which is not prepared 
by his own cook. 
1 he only child of Stonewall Jackson, Julia, 
is blue-eyed and fair haired, shoots like a 
rifleman, swims like a fish, and rides like a 
Kentucky belie, wearing the gray Confeder¬

pipe*, cigarettes, cigars; Wolseley the latter, 
and the best that can bo had. Both are tem¬ 
perate in food, and of iucessant activity.

another at Forth Washington, a fine establish¬ 
ment in Paris, a villa at Newport, and his 
rooms in the Herald building, are all the 
homes that James Gordon Bennett can lay 
claim to at present. 
“Mv doar Hall,>’said Chief Justice Waite, 
going down Chesapeake Bay with Judge Hall, 
of North Carolina, who was very seasick, “can 
I do anything for you? Just suggest what you 
wish.” “1 wish,” said the other iudtre. “that.
