Fresidknt Cleveland wears a white 
Derby hat. 
George Washington wrote bad poetry 
when he was a very good little boy. 
At some time in their lives Miss Cleveland, 
Mrs. Garfield and Mrs. Hayes all were school 
teachers. 
Prince Albert Victor, the heir to the 
British throne, will take out a commission in 
the Tenth Hussars. 
Governor Hoadly of Ohio says that his 
annual expenses as Governor are four times 
larger than his official salary. 
Rev. E. P. Roe, the Newburgh novelist, 
says this season is a had one for fruit, audthat 
the present month is the driest June known in 
the Hudson Valley for 30 years. 
President McCosh, of Princeton, has been 
investigating the relation of college athletics 
to class standing, and announces that the 
leading athletes, as a rule, are the poorest 
scholars. 
TnE new President of Bowdoin College, 
Rev. William De Witt Hyde, is only 27 years 
of age. He is a graduate of Harvard, an ac¬ 
complished theologian and writer, and a fine 
base ball player and sparrer. 
Jamkr D. Fisn, the swindling president of 
the Marine Bank in this city, was awarded 
$3,000 for his services as a Harlem Canal 
Commissioner on the very day that he began 
his ten years’ term of imprisonment at Au¬ 
burn. 
Queen Victoria, besides guiding, all 
alone, the reins of the British Government 
during the recent crisis, found time to write 
to the London Times, through her secretary, 
denying the" report that her favorite collie, 
Noble, was dead. 
William Drummond, ouce Chief Justice 
of Utah, where he waged a bitter warfare 
on Brigham Young, has been fined $5 by a

the stamps. 
Prince Allaoogha, of Brass River, lu 
West Africa, who, we are informed, “was 
well knowu to the missionaries, and always 
looked upon as a professing Christiun,” re¬ 
cently killed nine captives, whose bodies were 
cooked aud eaten by himself and his tribe. 
In the flattering opinion of the London 
Times, Mr. Phelps is the greatest Minister 
this country has ever had—with the possible 
exception of Benjamin Franklin. Of course, 
one Thomas Jefferson, who once represented 
this Government in France, is not to be men¬ 
tioned in the comparison. 
The Ex-Empress Eugenie wrote the fol¬ 
lowing pathetic sentence in a private letter 
to Mousignor Goddard at Chiselhurst: “I am 
left alone, the sole remnant of a shipwreck, 
which proves how fragile and vain are the 
grandeurs of this world.” 
General Logan and Colonel Morrison 
both were wounded at Fort Dotielson aud oc¬ 
cupied the some bed afterwards while suffer¬ 
ing from their wounds. The physician who

and* harder and for less reason thau that 
couple. 
Dr. Branham, who is to succeed Mr. Abner 
T. Longley as Superintendent of the Seed 
Division of the Agricultural Department, has

his position. He is a rnun of ability and is 
pronounced thoroughly competent. Dr. Bran¬ 
ham and Secretary Lamar married sisters. 
Mr. Musurus, the Turkish Ambassador in 
London, has occupied that post for over 40 
years. The late Mr. Vau de TV oyer was Bel¬ 
gian Miuister at Loudon for over 30 years, 
and Baron Brunnow represented Russia there 
almostas long. We change our Miuisters with 
every change of Administration. 
When the late Richard T. Merrick, the
