PERSONALS. 
The Marquis of Lome will probably succeed 
the Marquis of llipou as Viceroy of India. 
John Bright is Lord Rector of Glasgow Uni¬ 
versity. Ik* was latlely invested with the 
hood, and lweiveil the degree of LL. D. 
Judge Gresham was badly wounded in the 
leg in Sherman’s Atlanta campaign, but, con¬ 
trary to expectations, the leg was saved, 
though he still limps with it as if it were a 
wooden one. 
Dr. Gatling, the inventor of the famous gun, 
is a Southerner, but looks like an elderly Ger¬ 
man. He is still hard at work at other inven¬ 
tions, and promises to again surprise the 
world. 
Senator Jones, of Florida, who Is now on his 
way to Europe, is nervous when he is talkiug 
with a reporter. His clean-shaven face above 
his tall form gives him the appearance of an 
overgrown boy. 
The British Commons, in further recogni¬ 
tion of the services in Egypt of Lord Wolseley 
and Baron Aleester (Admiral Seymour), 
has passed a grant of £2,000 ($10,000) yearly, 
at death to pass to their heirs. 
The Department of Finance of Ontario has 
intimated to Professor Wiggins that his serv¬ 
ices will bo required in an official capacity for 
the present, and the Professor is canceling his 
lecturiug engagements iu consequence. 
Among the spectator at the great fifty-mile 
horse-race at Los Angeles, Cal., on Thursday 
of last week, were Mr. Charles A. Dana and 
ex-Lieutenant-Goveraor Dorsheimer, of this 
city, and ex-Seuator David Davis, of Illinois. 
Among the people at the Hot Springs of 
Arkansas are Mrs. Judge McCrary, General 
H. King White, ex-Govemor Stephenson, of 
Kentucky, and Mr. H. R. Belknap, a son of 
the ex-Seeretary of War. Congressman Rea¬ 
gan, who recently submitted to a severe sur¬ 
gical operation, is also at the Springs. 
A caller recently found Oscar Wilde in Paris 
lounging luxuriously in au arm-chair, attired 
in a green velvet jacket, salmon-colored neck¬ 
cloth, burnt-sienna knee-breeches and red 
stockings. At the back of In's uend was a 
tiger-skin, and strewn about in studied disorder 
were a score of yellow-covered novels. 
Some fortnight ago Mrs. Gladstone received 
a letter from Sir Henry Ponsonby, the Queen’s 
Secretary, written bv her direction, advising 
her to urge her husband to accept a peerage. 
The Queen has of late frequently publicly ex¬ 
pressed her wish to visitors that he should ac¬ 
cept a peerage, which, while lessening his 
labors, would euabla him to continue Prime 
Minister. He prefers to remain iu the House 
of Commons, but may retire from office. 
Among the many wreaths of flowers placed 
upon the coffin of the late John Brown were 
two contributed by the Queen and the Empress 
Eugenio. To the memorial wreath from the 
Queen there was affixed a large mourning 
card bearing the following words in her own 
handwriting: "A tribute of loving, grateful, 
and everlasting friendship and affection from 
his truest, best, and most faithful friend, Vic¬ 
toria, R. 1.” It is noted that the wreath she 
sent for Lord Beaconstield bore the words: “A 
mark of true affection, friendship and regret:” 
that for Dean Stanley, ‘‘A mark of sincere 
affection and high esteem ”

missionary in New York, and brother of 
the late eminent Judge Wilds, of the Mass¬ 
achusetts Supreme Court, writes as fal¬

••73 K, 54th, St.. Sew York, May 16, 1SS2. 
Messrs. J. C. Ayrr A Co.. Gentlemen . 
Last Winter I was troubled with a most uncomfort¬ 
able Itching humor, affecting more especially my 
limbs, which Itched so intolerably at night and burned 
so Intensely, that l could scarcely bear any clothing 
over them. 1 was also a sufferer from a wvere ca¬ 
tarrh and catarrhal cough; my appetite was poor, 
aud my svatem a good deal ruu down. Kuowtng the 
value of’ avkb's Scrsacabhula, by observation of 
many other oases, and from personal use In former 
rears, 1 began coking It for the above-named disor¬ 
ders. My appetite improved almost, from Uve first 
dose. After a short time the fever and Itching were 
allayed, and all signs of irritation ot the skin disap¬ 
peared. My catarrh and cough were also cured by 
the same means, aud my general health greatly Im¬ 
proved, until It Is now excellent. I feel A huadred 
percent stronger, and I attribute these results to 
the use of the Sarsaparilla. which I recommend with 
all confidence as the best blood medicine ever de¬ 
vised. t took It In small doses three times a day. and 
used, in all. less than two bottles. I place these facts 
ac your serv ice, hoping their publication uiay do good. 
•' Yours respectfully, Z. P. Wiunt." 
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla 
Cleanses, enriches, aud strengthens the blood, silum- 
ates the action of the stomach and bowels, and 
thereby enables the system to resist and overcome 
the attacks of all Scrofulous Diseases, Eruptions of 
the Skin, Rheumatism, Catarrh, General Debility, and 
all disorders resulting from poor or corrupted blood 
and a low state of the system.
