President Grevy’s salary is #840,000 a year. 
Louis Napoleon, when Emperor, received a 
yearly allowance of $5,000,000. 
Ex-Governor Israel Washburn, of Maine, 
died at Lafayette Hotel, Philadelphia, Satur¬ 
day afternoon, from a heart affection, 
Mrs. Hannah 8. Grant, mother of ex-Presi- 
dent Grant, died* at the residence of her 
daughter, Mrs. Mary Corbin, Jersey Cfty 
Heights, Friday afternoon a week ago. 
The Due d’Aosta, brother of Kiug Hum¬ 
bert, wuo represents him at tho coronation at 
Moscow, is declared to be a jattatove , or pos¬ 
sessor of the evil eye, and numerous tales are 
told to prove it. 
The Baron do Bonnemains, one of Marshal 
MacMahon’s aides, and Lieutenant Weiss, a 
relative of President Grevy, have settled 
down on a large sheep ranch iu Montana. 
They expect to make money as shepherds and 
to have lots of fun as hunters. 
During the latter part of the late war David 
Davis is said to have been challenged to tight 
a duel by a tiro-eating Southern ex-member 
of Congress. The former very properly de¬ 
clined, because his antagonist refused to permit 
him to staml three-fifths behind a stone wall. 
“ Father ” Hawley, father of Senator Haw¬ 
ley, of Conn., was taken to the Hartford 
Insane Retreat a few days ago. For some 
time he has shown urnuistable evidence of in¬ 
sanity. and it was deemed best for the safety 
of his family anil friends Pi put him under 
greater restraint. 
The Comte de Paris recently sent to a nur¬ 
sery man in this country for some dogwood 
trees to plant about his villa at Cannes. One 
of his most vivid recollections of this country 
is of a battle fought by the Army of the Po¬ 
tomac in the Virginia swamps, when the 
woods were white with dogwood blossoms. 
Jay Gould abstains altogether from liquor. 
Recently, while he was ill at the Arkansas 
Hot Springs, Colonel Fordyee advised him to 
take brandy or w hisky, but could uot induce 
him Pi take any. Finally, by a subterfuge, 
Foirly co persuaded him to try a glass of “rock 
and rye,” which did him good, and Gould 
said that the man who owned the spring pro¬ 
ducing the water had a fortune in it.
