THE RURAL HEW-YORKER 
PERSONALS, 
One of the most singular combinations of 
names is that of a lawyer in London who is 
called ‘’Thomas Jolly Death.” He is said to 
be a jolly good fellow, but “death” on fees. 
Phinkas B. Hovey died in Cambridgeport, 
Mass., last Wednesday, aged 82 He was the 
oldest seedsman in the United States, and was 
prominently known throughout the country’ 
in connection with the seed business. 
The Cleveland Leader resents the attempts 
to belittle ex President Hayes by repeating 
cheap jokes about his chickens, and says, “The 
people of Ohio know him and appreciate the 
nobility of his character and the honesty of 
his purposes.” 
The other day some one asked Bismarck 
which he preferred, beer or wine. “It is abso¬ 
lutely indifferent to me,” he said. “When I 
cau get good wiue, I always drink wine; and 
when I have good beer, then beer is my beve¬ 
rage. 1 generally take what I can get.” 
Professor Moslmsen, walking the streets 
of Berlin receutly, was accosted by a little 
boy, aud pleased with the polite attention, he 
patted him on the head, and inquired his 
name. “Why, papa, don’t you know me:” 
cried the amazed little fellow, who was indeed 
ihe Professor’s son. 
Temperance lecturers have a tine subject 
for a moral in the casecf Mrs. Nancy Riggius, 
late of Burton Constable, Yorkshire, England. 
Mrs Riggins died at the age of 105 Not only 
bad spirits been with her a regular article of 
diet, hut, to the last, she smoked several ounces 
of tobacco every week. 
Miss Helen Taylor, the step-daughter 
and protegee of John Stuart Mill, an efficient 
member of the London School Board and ad¬ 
vocate of women’s suffrage, has accepted a 
nomination to Parliament. No woman has 
ever sat in Pailiameut, though apparently the 
only requirement for Members of the House 
of Commons is that they mu-t be 31 years old, 
and take the presenbed oath. 
Wren Victor Hugo was a child, he was 
very puny and sickly, so that nobody thought 
he would live loDg; jet he died full of years 
and Uouors. When only five years old tils 
father wrote of bitn: “Victor exhibits a great 
uptnude tor study. He is as forward in man¬ 
ner as his eldest brother, and is extremely 
thoughtful, lie talks little, aud to the pur¬ 
pose. His observations have frequently struck 
me as remarkable.” 
Ex President Arthur denies the report 
that he has Blight's disease, and members of 
bis family pronounce him iu fairly good 
health. And yet there is something peculiar 
about his habits for a well man. He has vis¬ 
ited the off! e of the law firm to which he be¬ 
longs oulv about once in the last two months; 
persons who have called at his house on im¬ 
portant business have beeu 9eut away on va 
ficus pretexts without seeing him: and be 
larely leaves his house, going, when he dots 
go, in a closed carriage, accompanied by a 
“muscular looking attendant.”
