PERSONAL ITEMS, 
The Crown Prince of Germany has two sons, 
Prince Frederick Charles one, and on those three 
lives the Hohenzollerna depend. Prince Blsmark 
is anxious to see one married. 
Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky, has been in 
oiiico about two months and has pardoned two 
bundled and ten convicts, or four for every week¬ 
day that he has been at the head of the State 
Government. 
Captain Carey, who was with the late French 
Prince imperial when he lost his life, and who was 
afterwards condemned by court-martial for aban¬ 
doning the Prince, but subsequently relieved from 
blame, In South Africa, will retire from his regi¬ 
ment, It Is said, and enter the church. 
Daniel McFarland, who shot and killed Albert 
B. Richardson and was acquitted, and Abbey Sage 
Richardson recently arrived at LeadvlHo, Col., on 
the same day. He was a decrepit, ragged old man, 
evidently In great want, pain and misery; she was 
lu t he garb of a well to-do lecturer. A sorry con¬ 
trast between the ex-husband and wife \ 
The Duke of Beaufort, who recently returned to 
England from this country, has written a letter, 
tn which he warns the English Burners that they 
must not expect tlio present competition from 
America to cease. On the contrary, he anticipates 
a continually Increasing expert of American grain 
and he thinks the English farmers had better give 
up the unequal struggle and devote themselves to 
cattle and sheep. 
“ Bat cullud pussun on de jury, htm’s de man I 
objec’ to,” said a negro when put on trial In the 
Marion, S. C„ Court the other day. The black, 
good man and true was unseated, and the prisoner 
given acquittal. Alter Ids release, the darkey was 
asked what he had against, a Jurynmu of his own 
color. “Nuhin at all, boss,” said ho, but, yesee, 
I kuovved If I nattered de prejudus ob be odder 
jurymen dat, I get olf, an’ golly 1 did.” 
squaw Fusaii, who so heroically bent her ener¬ 
gies to save the captive wife and daughter of 
murdered, Agent. Meeker, was herself once rescued 
from death In a romantlo manner. Susan was cap¬ 
tured by a band of Arapahocs, who put up a stake 
at the. mouth of the Cache La Pond re, Intending to 
burn her to death. The commanding oltlcer at 
Fort Collins, having heard of the proposed barbar- 
Ity, by alternate throats and promises obtained 
Susan's release, it probably was in remembrance 
or this that the squaw became so devoted to Mrs. 
and Miss Meeker. 
“ Mrs. Grant says that the General once lost all 
ills money In a potato speculation, lie paid $750 
for ton bushels of potatoes, planted them, expect¬ 
ing to make a large profit, but when they were 
ripe, potatoes were too cheap to pay for the dig¬ 
ging.” This is a “Personal” that Is now briskly 
“ going the rounds" of ihe papers. Five dollars a 
bushel for seed potatoes! Why, they must have 
been a new variety. How foolish of the future 
President to invest all his savings In such a ven¬ 
ture 1 But, perhaps, alter all, It's like many other 
“ Personals," made out of “whole cloth,” and very 
poor cloth at that, filling some reporter's cranium. 
General Hooker was fully six feet, in hlght arid 
weighed In the neighborhood of 300 pounds. Of a 
bond complexion, his face sometimes wore a hectic 
Hush that gave his round, good-natured face a 
boyish expression. Since his paralytic attack the 
General has led a quiet, sequestered life at the 
hotel in Garden city. Long Island, 1113 man¬ 
servant, Tom, was constantly at the General’s 
aide, to assist him to rise from his chair and walk 
up and down stairs. When the Queen’s couuty 
hounds met at Garden city, the General often fol¬ 
lowed (lie pack by the country roads In a carriage. 
He did not, look upon the sport with favor, how¬ 
ever, and often remarked that it wasim-American. 
General Hooker married, soon after quitting the 
service, the daughter or the Hon. William 8. croes- 
beck, of Cincinnati. 
Ague, biliousness, drowsiness, jaundice and 
rheumatism, Hop Bitters remove easily.

It is at ouee tasteful and useful, and for the service rendered is

supplies himself with a MacKinnon Peu possesses a good thing."
