GOLDEN QUEEN 
PERSONALS. 
The first Hindoo woman that ever went into 
trade—a widow—has opened a book store at 
Bombay. 
Queen Victoria has granted pensions of 
$500 each to the four sisters of John Leech, 
the artist. 
United States Treasurer Jordan has 
fitted up a bed-room in one of the rooms of 
his office, and practically lives in the Treasury. 
A messenger also sleeps close by, so as to be 
within easy call when wanted. 
Leona Call is the name of a talented young 
Iowa lady who has filled a Greek professor¬ 
ship in the Iowa State University so accept¬ 
ably since her brother’s death that it is likely 
she will be formally elected his successor. 
Miss Cleveland is reported to have said 
that the profits from her book thus far amount 
to $7,^50, and that she expects to make about 
$25,000 out of it altogether. 8he is so pleased 
over her success that she is now engaged in 
writing a novel. 
Mr. 8tallo, the United States Minister at 
Rome, has been heartily welcomed by the 
Italian press. He will visit Signor Depretis, 
President of the Italian Ministry, at his villa 
in Bel (agio, near Lake Como, before present¬ 
ing his credentials. 
William D. Howells has been engaged to 
write exclusively for Harper’s Magazine here¬ 
after, the consideration being $10,000 a year, 
it is said, aud his story, which is soou to begin 
in the Century, will, therefore, be his last 
contribution to that publication. 
It is related of Prince Frederick Charles 
that on a visit to a fellow officer’s ancestral 
seat, near Berlin, he discovered his own por¬ 
trait above that of the Confederate General 
Stuert, and placed it below, with the remark 
that he considered Stuart the abler of the two 
cavalry generals. 
The belligerent Miss Ada Sweet has sent in 
her resignation as Pension Agent at Chicago, 
aud Commissioner Black has appointed Mrs. 
Marion A. Mulligan, widow of a Union 
colonel, in her place. The position is one of 
the most important in the West, and pays a 
salary of $5,000 a jejjtr. 
William Henry Hurlbkrt writes from 
Loudon that Mr. Forster once said of the late 
Lord Houghton: “Foibles or no foibles, this 
is to be said of him by me, that of all the men 
I have ever known he is the onemau to whom 
I would go at once, not only were 1 in trouble, 
but were I in disgrace.” 
The death of Clark Foss removes the last 
of the famous stage drivers who made a repu¬ 
tation in early days. Foss had driven stages 
for years over the Sierra Nevada, aud every 
tourist or correspondent who wrote a book on 
California had much to say of bis skill as a 
whip and as a story teller. 
Abraham Perry, a colored man, who died 
at Harrisburg on Wednesday at the age of 88, 
was famous as the insured of a great many 
graveyard insurance policies. At one time 
there was $150,000 of speculative insurance 
upon his life. He was expected to die at any 
time, bnt, notwithstanding bad whisky, he 
survived all the graveyard companies. 
Captain Habslkr, Chief of the Appoint¬ 
ment Division of the Interior Department, is 
genial and full of jokes. When persistent re¬ 
porters bore him too much he quietly lifts a 
printed card from his desk and holds it aloft: 
‘‘No conundrums answered to-day.” For 
hungry office-seekers he is ready at all times 
with the following: “Applications for the 
earth will not be considered to-day." 
The new President of Vassar College, Dr. 
Samuel White Duncan, is a graduate of 
Brown University, class of 1800, a captain in 
the Uulon army during the last years of the 
war, and afterward a graduate of the Roches¬ 
ter Theological Semiuury. He was ordaiued 
a pastor of the Erie Avenue Church, in Cleve¬ 
land, O., aud has siueo been connected with 
churches in Cincinnati aud in Rochester. 
Barr Spangler, Prohibition candidate for 
Penn. State Treasurer, is 60 years of age, 
but very vigorous. His popularity with the 
couveutiou was ascribed to the mautier in 
which he was represented by the Hon. James 
Black, who in response to an inquiry whether 
Spangler possessed the requisite physical vig¬ 
or to enter the campaigu, answered: "Bless 
you, he can throw a cow over his shoulder.” 
There were 14 members of the Confederate 
Cabinet: Benjamin, Bragg, Breckinridge. 
Mallory, Memmiuger, Randolph, Stddeu, 
Trenholm, Walker, Davis, Reagan, Toombs, 
Watts, and Huuter. Of these ouly five now 
remain—Davis, Reagan, Toombs, Watts, and 
Hunter. Few of these are wealthy. Toombs, 
who lives uenr Atlanta, is one. Watts, of 
Alabama, aud Davis, of North Carolina, 
though now old meu, coutinue in the practice 
of law at their respective homes. Huuter has 
lately been appointed Collector of Customs at 
Rappabauook, Va,, at a small salary,

Scrofula 
Probably no form of disease Is so generally dis¬ 
tributed among our whole population as scrofula. 
Almost every individual has this latent poisoft 
conrslng bis veins. The terrible sufferings en 
dured by those afflicted with scrofulous Bores 
cannot be understood by others, and thoir grati* 
tude oil finding a remedy that cures them, aston¬ 
ishes a well person. The wonderful power of 
Hood’s Sarsaparilla 
in eradicating every form of Scrofula has boon so 
clearly and fully demonstrated that it leaves no 
doubt that it Is the greatest medical discovery of 
this generation. It is made l>y C. I. HOOD & CO., 
Lowell, Mass., and is sold by all druggists.
