THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
PERSONALS. 
Major Bkn, Perley Poore has just re¬ 
covered from a serious illness, partly induced 
by overwork. 
Mr. George W. Cable is now in his forty- 
second year. He is exceedingly young, how¬ 
ever, for his age. 
William H. Vanderbilt has not been to 
church for four years, and it is said that .Jay 
Gould hasn't heard a sermon for even a 
greater length of time. 
An Ottawa, Canada, dispatch says that it is 
rumored that Sir Charles Tupper is to be 
created a baron in consideration of his valu¬ 
able services in the interest of trade and com¬ 
merce. 
Senator John P. Jones says he is delight¬ 
ed with Alaska. Of his new gold mine he 
says it is a “magnificent deposit,” with ore 
plainly in sight in “almost inexhaustible 
quantities.” 
Madison Morton, the author of “Box and 
Cox' 1 and innumerable other farces, and pro¬ 
bably the oldest living dramatist, is now a 
charity pensioner at the Charter House, Lon¬ 
don. He is 86 years old. 
Mr. Spurgeon declares that he has been 
practicing vegetarianism for the past eight 
months, and is “not only living, but lively.” 
The abstinence is, however, believed to have 
been compulsory. 
Unlike his predecessor, Mr. Arthur, Mr. 
Cleveland cares little for the relaxation which 
is to he found at the theatre. A good walk 
in the open air, or a drive behind mettled 
horses pleases him better. 
Bartholdi, the sculptor, sails for this coun¬ 
try to day on the steamer Amerique from 
Havre. He will spend several weeks in 
America. He int uds to superintend the 
erection of his Statu of Liberty on its pedes¬ 
tal, and to meet the neressional Committee 
in charge of the Lafa^ jtfce statue to be erect¬ 
ed iu Washington. 
Lord John Manners has found a great 
mass of correspondence in a loft at Belvoir 
(the family seat of the Earl of Rutland) in¬ 
cluding letters from Edward IV. and Henry 
VII , and from the Earl of Shrewsbury, which 
latter throw new light on the execution of 
Mary Queen of Scots. This is probably one 
of the most important discoveries of the sort 
for years. 
It is said that Secretary Bayard is the most 
industrious reader in Mr. Cleveland’s Cabiuet. 
He reads most of the good hooks of tne day, 
especially those relating to history and states¬ 
manship. He is not much given to novels, 
whereas Secretaries Whitney and Endicott 
are both novel readers. The latter confines 
himself chiefly to French romances. 
W hen the late Lord Shaftesbury was Lord 
Ashley, by which title he was loog prominent, 
there were some -100 peers, and probably 200 
had growu-up eldest sons; and vet, out of this 
large body of men, bis is about the only name 
standing out as that of a nobleman who gave 
bis time, energy, money, and the prestige of 
his position to the cause of benevolence. 
Roscoe Con rung is said to have changed 
his style of dress since his retirement from 
public life. Much of the old-time flashiness 
that once characterized bis garb, has disap¬ 
peared, and on ordinary occasions be now 
usually wears a long pea-jacket, sober, loose 
trousers and walking boots. His powerful 
shoulders, clear eye, good color and rapid 
movements indicate perfect health. 
Mrs. Langtry has been summoned before 
the County Court at Chelsea for refusing to 
pay household debts, for footmen’s liveries 
and her own dresses. Her defense will be 
that her husband is answerable, as she was 
living with him when the debts were con¬ 
tracted. Mr. Langtry is living quietly near 
Belfast on the annuity which his wife allows 
him so long as lie stays away from her and 
doesn’t “bother” her. 
President Cleveland has been carrying 
$10,000 insurance on his life, aud now has in¬ 
creased that sum $10,000, The lives of Presi¬ 
dents have of late been regarded as intrinsic¬ 
ally poor risks, but the advertisement of a 
policy is no small thing for the cempany. 
President Garfield was lauded for a large risk 
by an Equitable eanvat-ser, just after he en¬ 
tered the White House, gave his note for the 
premium, and died ere it became due. 
It is intimated at Washington that C. 
Meyer Zulick, the new Governor of Arizona, 
was appointed on the ground that he is a 
resident of Arizona. He was a candidate for 
Surrogate iu Newark, N. J., In 1884. and was 
defeated. Immediately after the election he 
went to Arlzoua, and after au absence of two 
months he returned as au applicant for the 
Territorial Governorship, hacked by Senator 
McPherson, of New Jersey. He started again 
to Arizona yesterday week, after voting at 
he rietnt municipal election in Newark.

Rheumatism 
We doubt if there la, or can be, a specific 
remedy for rheumatism; but thousands who 
ha\o suffered its pains have been greatly ben 
efited by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. If you have failed 
to find relief, try' this great remedy. It corrects 
the acidity of the blood which ts the cause of tho 
disease, and builds up tho whole system. 
I was afflicted with rheumatism twenty years. 
Previous to 1883 r found no relief, but grew worse, 
tint!! I w;ts utmost helpless. Hood’s Sarsaparilla 
did run more good than all the other medicine 
I ever bad." II. T. Bai.cou, Shirley Village, Mass.
