Robert Garrett, who has just made a 
mess of the Baltimore aud Ohio system, is 
about 27 years of age. He has no fondness 
for an executive position and eanuot bear to 
be chained to a desk. Ho is devoted to the 
pleasures of society and he likes to frequent 
drawing-rooms clubs and bull-rooms. Ho is 
extremely attentive to his dress and is always 
attired in the bight of fashion. He would 
still be worth many millions if he had never 
owned a dollar's worth of stock iu the Balti¬ 
more and Ohio Road, 
“Count” Mitkikwicz, the Chinese-Polish 
American financial diplomat, is here “for a 
few days’ rest!” He is of slender figure, with 
a florid complexion and reddish side-whiskers, 
which are always carefully trimmed to stand 
at right angles with the side of his face. His 
nose is of a decidedly Hebrew pattern, and 
his eyes enlarge and contract, cat-fashion, as 
their owner changes his moods. His nails are 
as long now as those of a^nindann of the it'd 
button. His hands and feet are small. He 
expresses utter indifference to the newspaper 
attaeks made upon him. 
Col, Frederick D. Grant, Republican 
candidate for Secretary of State in this State, 
was with the Union Army during a consider¬ 
able portion of the War of the Rebellion, 
though he was too young to take a hand in 
the fighting. He accompanied his father 
through the Fort Hoary and Fort Dnnelsou 
campaign, the siege of Vicksburg, and the 
Wilderness and Petersburg campaigns. The 
boy was often on the scene of actual coullict 
aud was once wounded. He had nothing to 
do with the Grant A Ward fiasco; though his 
two brothers were interested iu the business.

Claus Hpreckels, of California, who has 
been termed the Sugar King of the Sandwich 
Islands, is a German who began his life in the 
West as the keeper of a grocery store. He 
was an expert chemist, aud invented some 
new process for refining sugar. It was esti¬ 
mated three years ago that he made (MX) bar¬ 
rels of sugar a day, each barrel worth $30, 
thereby giving him an income of $6,570,000 a 
year. Ills wealth is now estimated at $25,- 
000,000. Mr. Spreckels is an old man, but he 
is still very active and energetic. He speaks 
with a strong German accent, is simple in his 
dress, and domestic in his habits.
