will be succeeded by ex-Seuator McDonald, of 
Indiana. 
Hubart Pacha, late Grand Admiral of the 
Turkish fleet, and third sou of an English 
earl, died in the arms of his wife, a young 
English lady only 27 years old. One of his

Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria, is said to be 
the dean chosen for the new Catholic Univer¬ 
sity at Washington; he is a Sulpician, and so 
is Cardinal Gibbons, and it is thought the Sul¬ 
pician influence will outweigh the Jesuit in 
the University'. 
It is said that Dr. Schweninger, Bismarck’s 
physician, who was recently called to St. 
Petersburg, was promised by the Czar a large 
sum only on condition of his succeeding in his 
proposed treatment. If he fails to effect a 
permanent reduction in the Czar's weight, his 
own pay is to be materially reduced.

‘‘Buck” Grant wax interviewed bj T a Den¬ 
ver reporter the other day and a-sked how he 
came by the nickuame. The explanation was 
simple. W hen the Grant family moved from 
Ohio to Missouri he was a little boy, and some 
one called him in joke, “The Little Buckeye.” 
The name stuck, but in the process of time 
“the little” and “eye” were dropped, and the 
name as it now stands remained. 
Only three States west of the Mississippi— 
Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota—can claim 
Senators as their sons. Fourteen of the 72 
were born in New England, rive of them in 
the Old Bay State; while New York is credit¬ 
ed with eight, Ohio and Virginia with six 
each, and Pennsylvania with five. Beck was 
born iu Scotland, Jones, of Nevada, in Wales, 
Fail - , Sewell and Jones, of Florida, in Ire¬ 
land. 
The Hon. G. B. Corkhill, who as District 
Attorney at Washington, conducted the pros¬ 
ecution of Charles J. Gauteau, died of hemor¬ 
rhage of the stomach last Tuesday (July 7), 
at Me. Pleasant, Iu., whither he had gone to 
make political speeches in the district. Born 
in LS- 10 , in Ohio; removed to Mt. Pleasant, la., 
when young; became a lawyer there; went 
to Washington in ls7o, and divided his time 
between practicing law and editing. 
Gkn. S. H. Hurst has been"appointed Dairy 
Commissioner of Ohio, and L. N. Bonham has 
succeeded W. I. Chamberlain its Secretary of 
the State Board of Agriculture. The latter 
has left the great Buckeye State where he has 
“lived and labored for nearly oil years,” to 
assume the presidency of the Iowa Agricultu¬ 
ral College. We heartily wish him success in 
his new position, confident that few men in 
the country are so capable of achieving it.
