PERSONALS. 
When Cbauncey Depew was counsel for 
the Vanderbilt railroads he got §35,000 a year. 
The Duke of Athol has 17 inferior titles, 
the Dukes of Argyl and Hamilton 10 each, 
the Duke of Buccleuch and the Marquis of 
Bute 15 each, and the Duke of Northumber¬ 
land 13. 
Prince Paul Esterhazy, with Ms bound¬ 
less estates, Transylvanian forests, and other 
sources of wealth, would probably go beyond 
the late Wm. H. Vanderbilt by a trifle of 30 
or 30 million dollars or so. 
The Misses Tildcn, who are now in Wash¬ 
ington, where they have made a very pleasant 
impression, are nieces of Mr. S. J. Tilden. In 
appearance t hey are strikingly alike, so much 
alike, in fact, that each is often taken for the 
other. 
Senator Ramsey, of Minnesota, several 
years ago gave his wife the choice between a 
lot block in Minneapolis or a nice new bonnet. 
Disregarding the traditions of her sex, she 
took the lot and recently sold it for §'.>0,000. 
The present value of the hat she had in mind 
at the time is not known. 
A daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton 
says that when her mother and Miss Knsan B. 
Anthony work together on their “History of 
Woman .Suffrage” they often get into ani¬ 
mated discussions over their subject and dip 
their pens into their mucilage bottles and 
their mucilage brushes into their ink bottles 
in indiscriminate excitement. 
TnE Earl of Airlie, who was manned last 
week in London to Lady Mabel Gore, was 
formerly well known as Lord Ogilvie. His 
father died a few years ago at Denver, Colo¬ 
rado. The name of the present earl became 
familiar to Americans through the endeavors 
of an imposter to impersonate him. Lord 
Ogilvie was then serving in India. 
The President has received Fred Douglass's 
resignation of the $15,000 position of Register 
of Deeds for the District of Columbia. A 
pressure for a colored Democrat to succeed 
him Is felt, but the Democrats of the District 
are confident that some white man of their 
number will be taken. Douglass is worth 
nearly $300,000 and can afford to retire. 
Lord Crew must rank among the most 
liberal and progressive of British landlords. 
He is steadily increasing the number of hold¬ 
ings ou his Cheshire estate, and decreasing 
the rentals. A good cottage and garden cost 
a laborer $32.50 a year. Plots of from two to 
three acres of good farm land, with excellent 
cottages and barns, rent for from $40 to $50 a 
year. Lord Crew at present has 105 tenants 
holding half an acre and under three acres; 
144 with three and under 10 acres; 80 with 10 
and under 30 acres; 81 with 30 anti under 50 
acres; 40 with 50 and under 100 acres; 41 with 
100 and under 200 acres; and 14 only with 200 
and under 50u acres.
