PERSONALS. 
Judge Fullerton, of this city, is confident 
the Government will have to pay the Confed¬ 
erate bonds “in time;” “in eternity” all 
others think. 
Senator Aldricii, until a short time a^o 
“an unknown young man of simple mercantile 
training.” has been re-elected to the United 
States Senate by the legislature of Little 
Rhody. 
The marriage of J udge Stanley Matthews to 
Mrs. Mary K. Thcakor will take place here 
June 23, and on the same day the happy 
couple will sail for Europe to remain there 
till October. 
Said Cleveland to a Cabinet officer just be¬ 
fore the event: “Things will be a good deal 
change»l about here, no doubt.” Democratic 
office-seekers hope so, and some even expect a 
change. 
Sec. Manning, the “brains” of the Cabinet, 
has resigned; but the President wants him to 
take a holiday for his health till October, and 
will not accept his resignation, if he is in good 
condition then. The resignation will proba¬ 
bly be accepted. 
The wedding would have been in the Fall 
were it not that the engagement had leaked 
out, and made life a burden to both. He pro¬ 
posed to be married in New York, she pre¬ 
ferred to be the first woman married to a PresL 
dent in the White House. 
Last Saturday a large part of the country 
was startled by the announcement that Henry 
Ward Beecher had dropped dead suddenly. 
He is still bright and active, however, never 
better in his life, and has pluuned to deliver 
40 lectures during a European tour on which 
he is to start next week. 
Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland lias pur¬ 
chased the old homestead at Holland Patent, 
N. Y., and fixed it up “with excellent taste” 
and is going to live there. The publishers of 
her honk say that up to May 1, she bad re¬ 
ceiver! from it 412,000, and the steady sale of 
it is bringing her in from $2o to $100 a mouth. 
It has got lots of free advertising. 
“Honest John Kelly,” who was buried 
last Saturday, left all his money—over £ 400,000 
—to his wife, making her solo executrix. She 
will do the right- thing with their two children 
and the charitable institutions which expected 
something. At 21 he hail nothing but good 
ht alth, a strong body, a resolute mind, no 
educat ion, but good miturul abilities. 
Sec. Garland was the only member of the 
Cabinet who did not attend the President’s 
wedding, At the death of his wife, 10 years 
ago, he vowed he would never enter into so¬ 
cial festivities again. He has kept his vow, 
and did not attend even the wedding of his 
son a year ago, though he married with his 
father’s full approbation. Devotes all his 
time to office work aud the care of his aged 
mother. 
Rev. I)k. Sunderland got a brand-new 
$100 bill for performing that, little ceremony at 
Washington, and straightway handed it to 
Mrs. S., who will keep it as a memento. The 
Doctor omitted the word “obey” from the 
pledge of the bride, not using the Episcopal 
form, but a brand-new one invented by him¬ 
self. For the groom his words were: “love 
her, cherish her, comfort and keep her;” for 
the bride: “love him, honor, comfort and 
keep him.” 
In the little Holstein village of Segebcrg 
there lives a humble shoemaker named Houe- 
lach, who has collected 2,503 different kinds 
of bootlus—1,3! 10 native atul 1,178 foreign. 
They are all scientifically arranged and class¬ 
ified, and the collection is exceedingly valu¬ 
able from a scientific point of view. Although 
his y ears are 30, Houelach is still an enthusi¬ 
astic studeut of lieetles, and probably 
knows more about these insects than any man 
living. 
Grand Master Workman Powderly 
offered to resign at the Cleveland Convention, 
believing it wasn’t in harmony with his views. 
The convention refused to accept Ins resigna¬ 
tion and offered to double his salary, making 
it $3,000, instead of $1,500 a year. He was in¬ 
duced l.o keep his place, but absolutely refused 
the offered increase of salary. He says the 
telegraph operators at Cleveland were in¬ 
structed hy Jay Gould to exaggerate the dis¬ 
agreement in the convention, for the purpose 
of hurting the Order. 
Controller Chapin, of this State, has de¬ 
cided to pay, without the deduction of a cent, 
ex-Senator Ubukling’s bill of $20,000 for the 
work ho did in discovering the Alder manic 
bribery hero. He says Colliding declined work 
that would have brought him over $20,000 
to give all his attention to the ease “whieh he 
conducted with great ability.” Chapin is 
nofi'd for slashing bills. Conkling makes, it 
is said, about $100,000 a year; as U. 8. Sen¬ 
ator hia salary was $5,000. Clareuee A. 
Seward, another of the eonsel, wants $21,000. 
The whole bill umouuts to $4$,000—$0,000 for 
stenographers and printing the testimony,
