THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
PERSONALS. 
A record of the number of pies eaten last 
year by a Brocton. Mass., family of four per¬ 
sons, was kept, and shows that 804 of the dys¬ 
pepsia promoters were devoured. 
Mu. Gladstone is enjoying excellent 
health, aud last week resumed his wood chop 
ping at Hawardeu. His son Stephen, rector 
of Hawardeu, was married on Wednesday. 
Mr. Daniel Manning, who stauds in such 
close relation to Mr. Cleveland, is tall, athletic, 
and of distinguished l>earing; he wears a 
heavy iron-gray mustache, his jaw is heavy, 
but his forehead high and broad, aud crowned 
with close curling black hair sprinkled with 
gray. He has a sonorous voice, but does not 
use it in too frequent talking. 
Pastors Ewek of the Methodist Church, 
Rotcb of the Congregatioual, and Tenney of 
the Uuivorsalist, in Stoughton, Mass., tried to 
break up gambling in the fairs held in the 
town. They say that they have received 
written intimations that their churches would 
be burned if they persisted in their course. 
Some of the English Bishops work hard. 
Thus, tor instance, daring 1884 Dr. Thorold, 
the Bishop of Rochester, received 9,074 let¬ 
ters, preached 107 sermous, delivered 199 
addresses, continued 11,087 catechumens, at¬ 
tended 79 committee meetings and 87 public 
meetings, consecrated eight churches, opened 
five missiou buildings, ordained 44 deacons 
and 44 priests aud presided at six ruridecaual 
conferences, 
Gen Gordon is a great smoker, and is am¬ 
ply provided with tobacco. He has two 
palaces at Khartoum and a guu in position on 
the fiat roof of each of them. At sunrise 
daily he mounts to the roof and makes a care 
ful survey of the whole country with bis tele 
scope, au i marks any changes which may 
have taken place m the enemy’s position. If 
nothing unusual has happened, and there are 
no signs of any movement on the part of the 
Mahdi’s men, he retires into his quarters aud 
sleeps the greater part of the day. He rises 
before sunset, and after darkness has set in he 
starts for the ramparts, which he perambu¬ 
lates all night, seeing that the sentries are all 
properly posted and on the alert, aud cheer¬ 
ing the troops by his conversation and ex¬ 
ample.
