PERSONALS. 
Gen. McClellan had au annual income of 
$60,000. 
Senator Edmunds’ wealth is estimated at 
half a million. 
They say that Congressman Gay, of Louis¬ 
iana, has a million dollars at his call. He is a 
sugar planter. 
“Mrs, J. Smith, P. Mrs.,” is the way the 
new postmistress in an Indiana town writes 
her official name. 
Gov. Hoadly, of Ohio, intends to return 
to his law practice, which is expected to yield 
about $30,000 a year. 
Emperor William will celebrate the 25th 
anniversary of his accession to the throne of 
Prussia on January 3. 
Senators Blair and Frye are said to be 
the only members of the upper house of Con¬ 
gress who are teetotalers. 
M. Pasteur modestly declines all the or¬ 
ders and other distinctions tendered him for 
his success in inoculation. 
Ex Attorney-General Brewster has re 
sumed law practice in Philadelphia and is al¬ 
most overwhelmed with business. 
Gen. Longstrekt spends most of his time 
in literary work at his home at Gaiuesville, 
Ga. His recollections are as vivid as though 
the war had closed but a month ago. 
Mu. Vanderbilt has lately released several 
of the mortgages held by him against property 
of the Grant estate. He has in every case 
been paid dollar for dollar for doing so. 
Sam Jones, the Southern evangelist, saya 
that if St. Paul should preach in St. Louis 
to-day he would be telegraphed all over 
America as the greatest religious fanatic that 
ever made a crash in this country. 
Miss Mary Lee, daughter of the late Rob¬ 
ert E. Lee, is an indefatatigable traveler. 
She is now visiting her cousin, United States 
Minister Lewis, in Portugal, and before she 
returns to this country will extend her tour 
to Japan. 
Queen Natalie, of Servia, recently pur¬ 
chased 40 sewing machines—of American 
make, of coarse—and set seamstresses at work 
on them in the palace at Belgrade, making 
garments for the troops, which she cut out 
with her own fair hands. 
Dr. Alvarez, the famous French homce- 
opathist, but who Imlieves in big doses in the 
way of bil's, sued for $125,000 for medical at¬ 
tendance on a princess, but was awarded 
only $17,000, though he had refused $30,000 
to compromise the matter. 
Gen, Custer's widow draws a pension of 
$5,000 annually, earns something by literary 
work and has a pleasant and very profitable 
position in a oomruetcial way in New York. 
No wonder she didn’t want to be bothered 
with the Detroit Pension Agency. 
Commissioner Sparks, of the General 
Land Office, denies emphatically that there is 
any personal feeling between himself and As¬ 
sistant Secretary Jenks, of the Iuterior De¬ 
partment, because the latter has reversed 
some of the Commissioner’s decisions. 
Prof. C. V. Riley has given the Nations 
Museum at Washington his collection of over 
20,000 species of insects and 115,000 mounted 
specimens, besides additional unmounted ma¬ 
terial, books and pamphlets, making one of 
the most valuable gifts of the sort ever 
offered to the Government. 
A Boston baby is to be christened Azalea. 
The next thing society knows some fond and 
romantic parent will be calling her child 
Chrysanthemum. The names Rose and Vio¬ 
let are altogether too common and too old- 
fashioned to be given a real high-toned infant 
in these Mikado times. 
M. Hop ss aye says that President Grevy is 
very rich and very miserly. He eats plain 
food because bo is too stingy to buy dainties. 
How much he is worth no one knows, but it 
cannot well be less than $7,500,000, a large 
part of which is in Paris houses. And he is 
saving money all the time out of hissulary. 
Senator Miller, of California, who has 
been suffering from Hsttaina and rheumatic 
fever for several weeks, was unable to start 
for Washington last week. He is now re 
ported as convalescent, but so weak that the 
long, overland journey will not bo attempted 
until bo has thoroughly regained his strength. 
The Vice-President Hendricks’s widow is 
left in comfortable circumstances. fc>he has 
herself largely taken charge of the private 
business affairs of her husband, and has man¬ 
aged them with signal success—.“Much bet¬ 
ter,” the Vice-President used to say, “than I 
could have done myself ” The residence 
where Mr, Hendricks died, iu Indianapolis, is 
worth $10,000, and he had other property in 
the city, valued, all told, at about $60,000. 
His life was also insued for a considerable 
sum. Altogether it is estimated that he has 
left $100,000,
