New York Irish women of standing are 
getting up a money testimonial for Mrs. Delia 
Stewart Parnell, to relieve her present pecun¬ 
iary difficulties. 
Commissioner Colman has appointed Mr. 
Allen Dodge to the charge of the new Dairy 
Bureau establishment in the Department of 
Agriculture. 
It is said that Minister Foster finds the 
Spanish Government upon its high old Castil¬ 
ian dignity in regard to fixing up that reeip 
rocity treaty, and not disposed to dicker any 
further. 
Gkn. Wolskley arrived at London from 
Egypt the other day. The Victoria railway 
station was crowded with soldiers and civil¬ 
ians, and he was given an enthusiastic wel¬ 
come. 
Max Hoffman, who was Secretary of State 
in Indiana from 1809 to 1871, died of small pox 
a few days ago, after having been wrecked 
by dissipation. His family was left destitute, 
and his wife now supports herself and family 
by selling papers and beeping a fruit stand in 
the city. 
Harriet Moore, a middle-aged widow, 
has begun suit for breach of promise against 
Moses Hopkins, of San Francisco, aged 70, 
claiming $225,000 damages. Thedefendant is 
a brother of the late Mark Hopkins, the rail¬ 
road n agnate, from whom he inherited 
$6 000,000. 
Miss Braddon, the novelist, is a pleasant, 
matron-like woman, above the medium higbt, 
fair, with a complexion that suggests more of 
horse exercise and the air generally than pens 
and ink amt hard work in a library. Her eyes 
are small, her mouth large aud character¬ 
istic: lips firm aud chin strong. 
rriK President Wednesday appointed 
Francis H. Underwood, of Massachusetts, to 
be Consul of the United States at Glasgow, 
vice Bret Harte. His application was indorsed 
by Oliver Wendell Holmes, Francis Parkman, 
T. W. Higginson, John Boyle O’Reilly. Judge 
Charles Devens, Heury L Pierce, and others. 
Secretary Bayard is by the death-bed of 
his wife. Mrs. Bayard’s feeble health has pre¬ 
vented her participation iu the social life of 
the capital for some time, but sbe is a woman 
of strong character andf lovable disposition, i 
Her condition was one of tbe great reasons r 
why Br Bayard hesitated about entering the 
Cabinet. 
A meeting of sympathizers with Louis Riel 
was held last week at Jacques Cartier Halj 
Square, in Quebec, tti which about 5.U00 per¬ 
sons were present. The meeting was enthusi¬ 
astic, and at its dose a subscription lint was 
opened, which was largely signed. It will be 
carried round to the centers of French popu¬ 
lation in this country also. 
Christian Goetzmax, a well known and 
wealthy German farmer, of Lyons, N. Y., 
committed suicide with laudauum last Thurs¬ 
day. For several weeks he has been despond¬ 
ent on account of poor crops. When the 
Hessian fly appeared and destroyed Ids wheat 
two weeks ago, be became more down hearted 
than ever, and frequently said that he was 
through with faimiug forever. 
It is an interesting fact that many American 
men of letters are not college graduates. Walt 
Whitman, Whipple, Trowbridge, Field, Par- 
ton, Bayard Taylor, Eggleston, Harte.Howells, 
James, Aldrich, Lathrop, Stockton, Platt, 
Cable, Crawford, Fawcett. Gilder, Harris, 
Carieton, ‘‘Mark Twain, ’ Stoddard and Bur¬ 
roughs, it is said, have gained all their knowl¬ 
edge amt culture outside of college walls. 
Louis J. Jennings, formerly editor of the 
New York Times, w ill contest one of the par¬ 
liamentary districts of Stockport in Cln shire in 
the Tory interest in the coming general elec¬ 
tions. Stockport is at present represented by 
two Radicals. Mr. Jennings advocates local 
self-government for Ireland and an import 
tax on tinisbed manufactured goods. Nearly 
all the writers on the New York Times are 
English, while nearly all those on the N. Y. 
Herald are Irish. 
The Grand Jury of County Kerry, Ireland, 
has awarded Samuel Hussey, the land agent 
of Lord Lausdowne, $10,000 damages for the 
partial destruction of his residence, Kdenbu.ru 
House, near Tralee, which was blown np by a 
charge of dynamite last November. Mr. 
Hussey is oue of the largest land agents in 
Ireland, aud is so unpopular among the teuants 
and the peasantry that he and his house are 
continually under police protection. He never 
goes abroad without being followed by a con¬ 
stable aimed with a shotgun. The people of 
Tralee insist that tbe blowing up of his house, 
which only broke the windows ami a few feet 
of the back wall, was a manufactured outrage. 
The taxpayers are furious over the award, and 
are resisting the attempted levy tooth and nail. 
Care for the Children 
Children feel the debility of the changing sea¬ 
sons, even more than adnlts, and they become 
cross, peevish and uncontrollable. The blood 
should he cleansed and the system invigorated 
by the use of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Give it a trial. 
“ Last spring iny two children were vaccinated. 
Soon after, they broke all out with running sores, 
so dreadful I thought I should lose them. Hood's 
Sarsaparilla cured them completely; and they 
have been healthy ever since. I do feel that 
Hood’s Sarsaparilla saved my children to me."
