PERSONALS. 
Theodore Tilton is living quietly in Paris, 
attending to his literary work. 
Advices from Zululatid report Cetawayo 
sulking, and the people in much distress. 
James K. Polk was the only man who 
ever went from the Speaker’s chair into the 
White House. 
Joseph Mario, Marquis de Candia, the fa¬ 
mous tenor of a quarter of a century ago, has 
just died at Rome, aged 75. 
George Bucknelt, of Lake County, Cal. 
who is in his dotage, and has no confidence in 
banks, buried his bonds for greater safety, and 
has forgotten where he buried them. 
The pay of the Archbishop of Paris has just 
been cut down from $11,000 to $0,000. The 
Bishop of London has $50,000 and two palaces, 
but the claims ou him are innumerable. 
Samuel J. Tilden has just purchased 
considerable property adjoining Greystone, 
his residence near this city, and intends erect¬ 
ing on it one of the finest conservatories in the 
country. 
The Earl of Craven, one of the Englishmen 
who have lately become largely interested in 
the ranche and cattle business in Colorado and 
other Far Western places, has just died et the 
age of 42. 
The Marquis of Tseng the Chinese Ambassa¬ 
dor to Europe, who has confessedly tri¬ 
umphed diplomatically over all the French 
diplomats, is a Chinese ex-Jesuit, who belonged 
to the Society iu Kiang Nan. 
A. P. Moore, who owns Santa Rosa Island 
near the California coast, has 80,000 sheep, 
from which he clipped, in June last, 415,740 
pounds of wool. He sold this for $312,349.80, 
and realized a clear profit of $80,000. 
When recentty asked to dine at the royal 
palace at Copenhagen Mr. Tennyson was un¬ 
able to accept the invitation from the charac¬ 
teristic but sufficient reason that he had no 
dress coat with him. He has just been 
i ‘created” a lord under the title of Baron 
Tennyson Deyncourt of Aldnyrth. 
The most successful jockey during the sea¬ 
son just ended in England is Fred Archer, 
whose winning mounts number 232, this being 
three in excess of his previous best record— 
229, iu 1878. He has thus accomplished the 
unprecedented feat of heading the list of win¬ 
ning jockeys for ten successive years. 
and poultry.
