Tennyson’s brother changed Ids name to Turner,

Ex-Gov. Brown, who Is one of tho richest men In

of wealthy men whose friends like to regard them 
as Croesuses.

The condition of Pope Leo’s health is now ad¬

cians at deflauce, and considers that In matters of 
hygiene, no one Is halt so wise as himself.. His 
Holiness occasionally suffers from severe attacks 
of rheumatic gout. 
Marshal St. Arnaud, Commander-ln-Chlef of the 
French iii the Crimea at ihe time, spoke highly of 
Prince Napoleon's bravery at tho battle of the

vinced that he Is a coward.

So the man bargained to have them killed, oue 
after another, until the light crop was found. To 
recover the diamond cost him $2s. 
There Is an incident, lu the life of Miss Mulock 
almost as romantic us any In her novels. In 1804-6 
George L. Craik, a member of a London publishing 
firm, was Injured by a railroad accident neur her 
resldenoe. She helped to nurse him, and as a re¬ 
sult they fell In love, though he was many years

that direction. Then he went to ascertain whether 
he had hit anybody, and while he was searching 
In the bushes his hired maushot him (lead, mis¬ 
taking him ror the thief. 
The well-known Paris paper La Pntsse has been 
bought by M. Phlllipart, of wondrous financial 
fame. In 1677 he was declared bankrupt, with lia¬ 
bilities of$l>,ooo,ooo; he has now, It la assorted, paid 
aU and Is entirely cleared by the courts. He Is 52, 
and a Belgian by birth—a man of the same stamp 
as Strousberg who made millions by railroad build¬ 
ing In Russia, and lost them all, and Is now 
making another gigantic fortune. 
Signor Mareuocl of Spolato, Italy, a man of prop¬ 
erty and position, called In Dr. Dcmenlcls to 
attend his only sou, who was seriously 111. If, said 
Marducci; the young man recovered. Dr. Douieul- 
cl8 should receive 2,000 franca; If, on the other 
hand, the patient, died, Dr. Domonlcts should be 
killed. Mareuocl proved to be a man of his word, 
for the lad died, aud tho father thereupon killed 
Domeulcis. He was condemned to live years' im¬ 
prisonment and the payment of a tine of $5,000, to 
be given as damages to the Doctor's widow. 
There Is just oue Belgian political refugee in ex¬ 
istence. This Is General Count van der Meere,

nized a conspiracy lor placing the House of Orange 
on the Belgian throne. For this he was con¬ 
demned to death, but was saved by Ills wife, who, 
gaining permission to visit him In pi Ison, dressed 
him In her clothes and remained In his cell while 
he walked out and made his escape as the Countess 
Van der Meere. He has since several times asked 
to be amnestied, but without result. 
Ppon the dissolution of Jefferson Davis’ Con¬ 
federate government, fourteen years ago, Mr. 
Judali P. Benjamin Is said to have tramped on 
foot from central Georgia to Florida and escaped 
In an open boat to Nassau with a single ten dol¬ 
lar gold piece In his pocket, which he gave t o the 
negro who rowed the little boat, lie has recently 
bought a beautiful Parisian residence for 800,noo 
francs, cash, and It Is believed that this large 
sum does not exceed one-half of his yearly in¬ 
come from his practice In the English courts, 
lie designs revisiting his friends in Louisiana. 
No wonder Sir Bartle Frero, whose meddling 
and muddling brought on the Zulu war, desires 
to remain in South Africa whether the south
