PERSONAL ITEMS. 
M1S3 Chloe Lankton of New Hartford, Conn., has 
just completed the collection of one million can¬ 
celled postage stamps. 8he began in October last, 
a gentleman in Philadelphia having offered her 
$200 If she would get the stamps for him, the money 
to he used In getting tor her a life residence In a 
home for the friendless. 
Fredertek Stumpf and Henry Voullalre. St, 
Louis lawyers, were deformed cripples and their 
common misfortune led them to close Intimacy. 
Voullalre died, and Stumpf, prostrated by grief, 
took to his bed, and remained there until Ills 
death, a few days ago. Stumpf had heart dis¬ 
ease, but the doctors say that he would not prob¬ 
ably have died for years If Voullalre’s demise had 
not affected him. 
Bonanza Mackay doesn't, look .15. lie resides at 
Virginia City eight months lu the year, and is In 
his mine, where the temperature Is from 00 to 100 
degrees, almost every day. Mrs. Alackay and his 
two sons—he has uo daughter—are In Paris. She 
likes Paris and France, but her husband prefers 
London and England. Mr. Mackay Is a man of 
pleasant aspect and genial manners. His mine Is 
the perfection of good order and propriety. 
Prince Bismarck Is a great eater, but he cannot 
be called a delicate or scientific diner. Beer, 
champagne, turtle soup, boar’s head, and a mess 
of mustard and raspbeny jelly formed only a part 
of a repast In a day when he was recovering from 
a slight Illness, lie could, at one time, dispose of 
eleven hard-boiled eggs at & sitting. He Is fond of 
middle-sized trout. Besides his favorite drink- 
porter mixed with champagne—he strougly recom¬ 
mends another compound, said to he the Invention 
of Field Marshal Moltke, consisting or hot tea, 
sherry and champagne, lie enjoys good mutton, 
but he has little appetite for fillets of beef or beer In 
general. 
Mr. Thomas C, Doremus, who died lu this city, 
last week, at the age of eighty-three, will he best 
remembered for the Interest and practical help 
that he extended to many movements or a religious 
or philanthropic character. For forty years he 
was a director of the American Tract society. He 
was one of the roundel's of the Sabbath committee. 
Together with Ills wife, who died two years ago, 
he was especially Interested In missions in this 
city and throughout the world. Ills home lu New 
York was the stopping-place of missionaries, going 
or returning from them lields of labor, and few 
deaths could create deeper regret In religious cir¬ 
cles. Among business men here he was widely 
known and respected. 
Lord Beaeonstleld to strangers is an amiable old 
gentleman, who converses with a languid Interest 
about music and painting, with some animation 
about turnips and cattle, and with no lire at all, 
but rather a demure composure, about politics and 
the spread of Roman Catholicism In England, lie 
has a loud, grating voice, which only grows tune¬ 
ful when he Is warmed. He likes flowers, per¬ 
fumes and fruit, lie eats a great deal of cham¬ 
pagne Jelly, and drinks a great deal of black coffee. 
He never smokes, lie dresses to perfection know¬ 
ing exactly wbat style of clothes best suits him. 
Into newspapers be hardly ever dips. Sometimes 
when sitting alone he rests his head on Ida hand 
and gazes Into the fire or out of the window. No 
man can boast that he Uus obtained a glimpse of 
“ the Sphinx's” true mind.
