PERSONALS. 
Canon Farrar off ere $500 for proof of any 
case whore drunkenness has been cured with¬ 
out total abstinence. 
Pasteur is suffering severely from over 
work. He has already had one dangerous 
paralytic stroke, and another is feared. 
Henry M. Stanley is ill with partial par¬ 
alysis of the stomach. The doctors are hope¬ 
ful of his recovery', but it will be slow and 
probably not entire at the best. 
Among the members of the United States 
Senate, Ingalls talks loudest, Edmunds most, 
Mahone least., while Evarts sits and muses 
quietly. Hoar looks most like a grandmother, 
and Gorman receives most callers and is a 
favorite of the pages, as he was once a page 
himself. 
Monday was the 90th birthday of the 
Emperor William of Germany. He is still 
able to appear on all important public occa¬ 
sions, and seems in prime condition for a 
man of his years; but he has frequent fits of 
weakening, and the “inside circle” fear he 
may be “gathered to his fathers” any day or 
night. 
It is commonly remarked in France that if 
the Orleans princes were not so rich they' 
would be the rulers of the nation; that is, if 
they had spent their money more lavishly 
they would have won a following strong 
enough to restore them to the throne. France 
is not the only country where thrift is unpop¬ 
ular, however.
