Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes will soon visit 
England. 
England has a new Field Marshal—a rare 
event—in Lord Napier, of Magdala. 
Congressman Farwell, dry goods dealer, is 
building a million dollar house in Chicago. 
Postmaster General Fawcett, of England, 
continues to make progress toward complete 
recovery. 
Mr. R. McKinstry, of Hudson, N. Y., owns 
the largest apple orchard in the world—30,000 
trees on 300 acres. 
The elder Mrs Gariield passes several hours 
each day reading the recently-published vol¬ 
ume of the works of the late President, her 
son. 
Mr. Gladstone, wife and one of his sons left 
London for Cannes, South of France, last 
Tuesday. “The Grand Old Man” is worn out 
with labor. 
Among the biographical sketches of the 
Maine Representatives appears the following: 
“Joseph E Moore, Thomaston, Democrat. In 
religion, independent as a man can be whose 
wife and mother in-law are Baptists.” 
“Dr.” Mary Walker’s present costume in¬ 
cludes a Prince Albert coat, high silk hat, and 
rather loose trousers. 8he carries a cane and 
her hair is unskillfully cut short, as though 
she had done it herself. Instead of wearing 
an overcoat on cold days, she wraps herself 
in a heavy shawl. 
Prof. Widerhofer, of Vienna, says that 
when water and sugar are added to cows’ 
milk to make it available for infants a small 
quantity of cream should also be introduced. 
The numerous “ foods for infants ” so widely 
advertised, are, in his opinion, of no value.
