PERSONALS. 
Wm. D. Howells receives from $50 to $100 
a page for his work in the Century and in 
Harper’s, and his estimated income from his 
writings this year will be about $20,000. 
General John B. Gordon is said to have 
become a millionaire through his railroad 
management and speculations, and to be now 
a candidate for Governor of Georgia, with an 
eye to a seat once more in the U. S. Senate 
later on. 
Mr. Arnold Morley. the new whip of the 
Liberals in the House of Commons, is a young 
and singularly handsome man. He is a law 
yer and has worked as diligently at that pro¬ 
fession as though he were poor and friendless, 
instead of the son of a man whose income is 
$1,000,000 a year. 
The genial Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes takes 
a deep interest iu the movement for the protec¬ 
tion of birds from slaughter. “I wish they 
could be protected by law,” says he,“and if law 
cannot or will not do it, that public opinion 
would come between them and their murder¬ 
ers. Not less, certainly, do I feel the shame 
of the wanton destruction of our singing birds 
to feed the demands of a barbaric vanity.” 
Captain Boycott, formerly of the British 
army, whose tyrauieal exactions while agent 
for an Irish estate, half a dozen years ago, 
made him detested by all around him who re¬ 
fused all intercourse with him, thus originat¬ 
ing the term “boycott," has been appointed 
agent for the large estates of Lord Waveney, 
in Suffolk, England. Before he finally left. 
Ireland he had changed his conduct and be¬ 
come quite popular.
