struck near Loadville. Ex-Senators Chaffee 
aud Tabor are associated with him. 
At a charity fair in Berlin the Crown 
Princess of Germany has been stilling sausages 
at $85 apiece aud sponge cake at $1 a slice. 
Congress has granted a pension of $5,000 a

Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, has just 
paid $10, balance of a bill for his schooling, 
sent up from North Carolina the other day by 
his old schoolmaster, Mr. James Patterson, of 
Lumber ton. 
General Sherman remarked recently to 
an interviewer: “Now, look here, there’s been 
enough written and said about General Grant 
to give him his proper place in history. You 
might as well question the greatness of Wash- 
ington.” 
When the King of the New Zealand Maoris 
was in England he promised to work for tem¬ 
perance reform among his people. He seems 
to have kept his word, for it is now announced 
that more than 11,000 of his subjects wear the 
blue ribbon of teetotalism. 
“The dramatic incident of my life,” said 
Robert Garrett the other day, “was the sudden 
death of Vanderbilt in my presence. I shall 
never forget it. It came like a fearful dream, 
and so swift was the change from life to death 
that it could scarcely be realized.” 
Mr. Beugh is opposed to inoculation for 
hydrophobia. He is also opposed to vaccina¬ 
tion. He thinks a better, surer remedy than 
M. Pasteur’s virus is vapor baths. He Knows 
of cases m winch the patient lias had the poi¬ 
son sweated out of him be this means. 
Miss May Endicott, the only daughter of 
the War Miuister, is very English in appear¬ 
ance. She drives in a drag with a London 
coachman in the front seat, and wears a close- 
fitting suit of blue flannel, with cap to match, 
and poses it la Lungtry. She has a brilliant 
color in cheeks and lip, and resembles, only 
she is fairer, the famous Jersey beauty. 
Mr. E. A. Walker, the statistician of the 
New York Produce Exchange for more than 
16 years, will leave the Exchange on the tir^t 
of February and will be succeeded by Mr. 
J. C. Brown, who has been connccted*with the 
Bank Department at Washington, and who 
will work for $8,000 a year, $1,000 less than 
his predecessor got. Much discontent in the 
Exchange. 
JOAQtTTN Miller is spending the Winter in 
Washington, engaged in literary work. He 
has au intense hatred of dogs. A visitor who 
recently called upon him was accompanied by 
a large Euglish mastiff. “Take that beast 
out!” exclaimed Miller, furiously. “There 
was but one natiou (the Greeks) that knew 
how' to properly treat a dog, and they put him 
at the gates of hell.” 
During the last year Messrs. Armour & 
Co., of Chicago and Kansss City, killed a little 
over 1,100,000 hogs and 800,000 cattle. They 
have on their pay-roll at the stock-yards 4,000 
men, and during the winter season frequently 
exceed that number. Their capacity for 
slaughtering hogs at their packing-house in 
Chicago alone is 13,000per day, their usual run 
being about 5,000 hogs per day. 
Lord Tollkrnache, now in his 80th year,

holdiug, He has built or rebuilt from 50 to 
60 farm houses at u cost of $740,000, each cost¬ 
ing $14,000, and in addition he has built 200 
cottages for laborers. During ull the recent 
agricultural distress he lias hail neither a va¬ 
cant farm nor a tenant in arrears.
