PERSONALS. 
The condition of John E. Owens, the come¬ 
dian, who is at his home in Maryland, is re¬ 
garded as critical. He is suffering from can¬ 
cer of the liver. 
Lieutenant Greely says that it cost him 
more than §40 to deliver a recent lecture in 
Massachusetts at an agricultural fair. None 
of his expenses were paid. 
Ex-Gov. Thomas Talbot, of Massachu¬ 
setts, died at Lowell last Tuesday after an 
illness of two or three weeks. Born of Irish 
parents at Cambridge, N. Y„ m 1818. 
Lord Dufperin has been presented by an 
Indian rujah with a young elephant, trained 
to cut hooks and magazines with his tusks, 
which are filed thin as paper-knives for the 
purpose. 
The friends of John Ruskin despair of his 
recovery. During his recent attack he was 
completely out of his head, and an outing and 
a sail the other day brought on a relapse. He 
is suffering from acute mania. 
The case of Louis Riel has been set down 
for argument before the British Privy Council 
for the middle of October, only three or four 
days before the fatal day. It is said Premier 
Sir John Macdonald wants the rebel's blood. 
Lord Ronald Gower says that Americans 
have little of that disgusting patronage of 
manner that prevails in England among the 
richer classes, and none of the no less disgust¬ 
ing cringiness that as greatly distinguishes 
English merchants. 
Mrs. Hattie Green, the New York stock 
speculator, is worth 1140,000,000, and yet she 
isn’t happy. She is constantly fretting about 
the safety of her money; is of an irrascible 
temper, and not at all blessed in her marriage 
relations—so they say. 
General Grant’s last cigar was smoked at 
Mr. Backmau’s breeding farm, in Orange 
County, N. Y., over a year ago. In company 
with General Beale and J. B. Huston he was 
inspecting the stock buildiugs on the property 
and after dinner smoked his final ciga,r. 
The Empress Eugenie intends to remove 
the remains of the late Emperor Napoleon 
and of the young Prince Imperial from 
Chiselhurst to Aldershot. Arrangements will 
be made for carryiug out this project as soon 
as the Empress returns from the Continent. 
In order to gain a coveted prize a young 
couple residing near Syracuse, N. Y., were 
recently married upon the Ouondaga fair 
grounds, with 80,000 people to witness the 
ceremony. Nearly every exhibitor upon the 
ground gave the pair a preseut—more attrac¬ 
tive than a ‘‘boss trot?” 
Ex-Governor James E. English, of Con¬ 
necticut, “a fine, robust-looking man*' of 74, 
was married Wednesday to Miss Anna Rice 
Morris, a “stately brunette’’ of 30. Mr. Eng¬ 
lish is the wealthiest man in New Haven, his 
estate being rated at from $4,000,000 to $6,- 
000,000. He boasts that he has never been 
sick a day. 
Valentine Dickey, of Chicago, married 
Miss Lulu Platt, of Dayton, at the latter place 
last Thursday. The groom is a cattle king 
of Texas, Indian Territory, Colorado and 
Wyoming. He was formerly a resident of 
Dayton and went West 10 years ago and 
amassed an immense fortune. The bride is 
an heiress of over a million dollars. 
Four brothers, who have been in business 
together ever since 1850, without keeping ela¬ 
borate books or any accurate account of the 
money each has drawn from the enterprise, 
have filed a deed iu Sau Joaquin County, Cal., 
providing that, as it is impossible to straight¬ 
en out their affairs, their heirs shall never ask 
for un accounting, but divide the property 
equally. 
Jahkz L. M, Curry, of Virgiuia, has been 
nominated U. S, Miuister to Spain vice Mr. 
Foster, resigned. Curry is 00, a native of 
Georgia, served two terms in Congress from 
Alabama before the war. 8ince he has been 
a Baptist clergyman, professor in a Richmond 
college, and is now President of the Board of 
Foreign Missions of the Southern Baptist 
Convention. 
John G. Whittier writes to a Boston pa¬ 
per; “I have received many letters from 
various parts of the country asking informa¬ 
tion in regard to a projected settlement in 
North Carolina by Clark Whittier, who the 
writers seem to think is a brother of mine. I 
have no brother living, and T know nothing 
whatever of the settlement or its founder." 
Mayor Henri Bkauurand, of Montreal, 
whose life has been threatened by the anti- 
vaceiuaiiug mobs of the leading city of the 
Dominion, is well known in St. Louis. He is 
remembered as having been the editor of a 
French paper there in the latter part of the 
seventies, which he conducted about a year, 
but which resulted iu a disastrous failure. 
Scrofula 
Probably no form of disease is so generally dis¬ 
tributed among our whole population as scrofula. 
Almost every individual has this latent poisofi 
courslug bis veins. The terrible snilerings ea 
dured by those afflicted with scrofulous sores 
cannot be understood by others, and their grati¬ 
tude on finding n remedy that cures them, aston¬ 
ishes a well person. The wonderful power of 
Hood’s Sarsaparilla 
tn eradicating every form of Scrofula has been so 
clearly and fully demonstrated that It leaves no 
doubt that it is the greatest medical discovery of 
this generation. It is made by C. I. HOOD & CO, 
Lowell, Mass., and is sold by all druggists.
