Ex Speaker Keifer is rich and is making 
money very rapidly at the head of a great 
cattle syndicate. 
Hannibal Hamlin has an imitator in Co¬ 
lumbia, a man who hasn’t worn an overcoat 
for 30 years and who has never been in bed 
sick. 
Ex-President Arthur is said to receive 
more invitations to dine than any man in the 
country. He accepts enough of them to keep 
him in bad health pretty much all the time. 
Archibald Forbes, the English war cor¬ 
respondent, is engaged to a daughter of Quar¬ 
termaster General Meigs. He was with her 
at Mount Desert this Summer. It is said the 
wedding will take place this Fall. 
Claimants of the authorship of the Saxe 
Holm stories are now confronted by the posi¬ 
tive assertion that they were written by Mrs. 
Helen Hunt Jackson, who recently died, and 
who preferred to rest her reputation on more 
solid works. 
For the benefit of these who think there is 
no such thing as love at first sight, it is noted 
that the late Archduke Jobu of Austria was 
completely captivated on first beholding the 
Countessof Meran, whom he afterwards mar¬ 
ried, as she moved about the postoffice kept 
by her father. 
The woman jwhoin a Swiss wooed was 10 
years his senior, and she had a fortune, while 
he was indigent. Under these circumstances 
she would not believe that his love was genu 
ine or his offer of marriage disinterested. In 
order to convince her he committed suicide 
under her bedroom window. 
Frank James, the Missouri bandit, is far 
gone io consumption. He says that he has re¬ 
ceived hundreds of offers from showmen, but 
that he is too old and feeble to learn how to 
act in a drama illustrating his exploits, as 
frequently proposed, uud he is too proud to 
become au exhibit iu a museum, 
Mr. Kkiley announces that he is tired of 
the wrangle about him, and will retire from 
the service. The question of whether or not 
someone shall be appointed United States 
Minister to Austria has not been considered 
by either the President or the Secretary of 
State since the refusal of Austria to receive 
Mr. Keiley. 
Madame Garcin, who iu her religious 
character is known as Sister St. Cyprien, has 
been appointed a Chevalier of the Legion of 
Honor. She is the Superior of the Sisters of 
Charity of Saint Augustine at Marseilles. 
She has uttended the sick during all the epi¬ 
demics of cholera, typus fever and small pox 
which have visited the hospitals since 1842. 
A student at Yale, 20 years ago. wrote a 
letter to a New Haven girl proposing mar¬ 
riage,and in reply received her wedding cards, 
showing that his wooing was too late, but 
giving no intimation of what might have been 
if he had acted more promptly. These two 
met by chunce at a New Orleans hotel table 
the other day. He had become a Louisiana 
Judge and sbe a widow. Their betrothal im¬ 
mediately ensued. 
The denial is made for Edwiu Booth that 
he was ever a negro minstrel, save in the sense 
that he may also have been a circus perform 
er. When a lad in Baltimore he and other 
boys played circus, minstrelsy, tragedy and 
other capers iu a cellar. He entered the 
dramatic profession when he was not more 
than It}, and thereafter travelled with his 
father almost up to the latter’s death. It is a 
fact, however, that Forrest was once a rider 
and acrobat iu a circus. 
Three members of Cougress have houses 
in Washington and at preseut are making 
that city their regular home. C. It. Brecken- 
ridge, member from Arkansas, whose home is 
at Pine Bluff, has a house upon Capitol Hill, 
and has been there ail Summer. John S. 
Barbour, of Virginia, lives ou Capitol Hill 
also, although Alexandria is his legal resi¬ 
dence. Benjamin Butterworth, while Com¬ 
missioner of Patents, took a house out at Le 
Droit Park, has had his family there ever 
since, and has paid little attention to his home 
in Cincinnati.
