PERSONALS. 
The mother of Gen. Phil. Sheridan is 83 
years old, and still lives in the house at Perry, 
O., in which her famous son was born. 
It is stated that Hannibal Hamlin has re¬ 
fused an offer of $50 a columu for all he may 
write of his political reminiscences, not daring 
to trust his failing memory. 
The Marquis of Lansdowne will sail on the 
steamer Circassian <>n October 11, for Canada, 
to assume the duties of the office of Governor 
General of the Dominion. 
John Barnett, the first railroad conductor 
ever employed in passenger traffic, died lately 
in England. He accompanied the old No. 1 
engine in ita trial trip with George Stephen¬ 
son. 
Josh Billings is a native of Lanesboro, N. 
H., and there he hopes to be buried. He has 
directed his children to mark the grave with a 
rough stone from the quarry near by. 
Simon Caineron at 84 has unimpaired hear¬ 
ing, his eyes sparkle under frosted brows and 
are quite strong and keen, aud he walks with 
a light stick and seems like a vigorous man 10 
years younger. 
Humph, the Sioux chief who called on Sec' 
retary Teller the othor day to say “ How,” 
astonished that officer by the information that 
he did not want anything, and had paid his 
own traveling expenses in coming to see the 
white man’s cities. 
Benjamin P. Cheney, a Boston millionaire, 
waited mauj T years for a pretty widow to 
marry him. The widow wished to raise her 
daughter before marrying, but Mr. Cheney, 
having exhausted his patience, married the 
daughter, who loved him without conditions. 
When David Davis was a young man he 
bought a piece of land every year; this has 
been held and well cared for, aud now he is 
worth $4,000,000 or so, mostly represented by 
real estate. He never speculates and never 
owned any stock, except some in a bauk he 
helped start at his home. 
Victoria is a stubborn woman and appar¬ 
ently not a very pleasant neighbor. The 
people of Ballater and Braeiner want to be 
connected by a railway through the valley of 
the Dee; but the Queen doggedly refuses to 
allow the line to be built because It is impos¬ 
sible to make it invisible from the windows of 
Balmoral Castle without tunneling a mountain.
