ERIE BLACKBERRY. 
Blondin, the tight-rope walker, lives quiet¬ 
ly in London at the age of t>2. 
Tiie Rev. E. P. Roe, the novelist and nurs¬ 
eryman, will spend the next two years in 
Southern California. 
Prince Bismarck is credited with the state¬ 
ment that a little blood letting by Russia 
just now would lie conducive to the general 
health of Europe. 
Ira D. Sankey. the revivalist, says he does 
not regard Chicago as the worst city in the 
Union, but as very inflammable. This pro¬ 
bably accounts for its dynamite propensities. 
Baron Rothschild rode by special train 
from Glasgow to London, at 60 miles an hour, 
"’hen he heard of his mother’s alarming illness 
in Paris. In London he learned of her death. 
Francis A. Walker, Chief of the census 
of 1880. and boss statistician of the country, 
estimates that the population of the United 
States in 1000 will not fall far short of 80,- 
000,000. 
Miss Stanley, a Dakota girl, spent the 
Summer entirely alone, without even a cat 
for compauy, on her claim four miles from 
Waterbary. She had 10 acres of grain, a tine 
garden and a watermelon patch, 
Tiie inuch-talked-cf General Boulanger has 
sagaciously directed his attention to the songs 
of the French people, and ordered that the 
national air for the French soldiers shall be 
“Mourir pour la patrie .”—To die for our 
country—a popular French song. 
Bob and Alf. Taylor, Democratic and Re¬ 
publican candidates for Governor of Tennes¬ 
see, who travel together and hold joint discus¬ 
sions, had the first little ‘‘spat’ 1 Wednesday, 
but “made it up” directly afterward, and are 
still acting “quite fraternally." 
It is suggested that a reunion of the de¬ 
throned—or uuerowned—royal personages of 
Europe would be an interesting event. The 
group would include Isabella and Don Carlos, 
of Spain; Eugenie, “Plon-Plon” and the 
Comte de Paris, of Frauce; the Duke of Cum- 
berlaud (King of Hanover), and Alexander, 
of Bulgaria. 
Mrs. U. S. Grant invited President and 
Mrs, Cleveland to stay at her house in Elber- 
on on their way back from the Adirondacks. 
She received a reply from Mrs. Cleveland 
thanking her very kindly, but regretting that 
pressing business of State made it necessary 
for the President to go straight through to 
Washington. 
Geronimo is (52 yeare old. stands five feet 
nine inches, aud weighs 1!H) pounds. He is as 
straight as u ramrod and shows little signs of 
age. Hair long, black and glossy. Face 
“rather good-natured, lit up with frequent 
smiles.” The real chief of the Chiricahuas is 
Natchez, “a tall, powerful-looking Indian.” 
Geronimo, however, is leader in war. 
The four Acken brothers, of Middlesex 
County, N. J., are flue uiou. William is S3 
Jem's old, six feet three inches in bight, and 
weighs 250 pounds; Heury is 81, six feet four, 
and weighs 270; Samuel is 70. six feet five, 
and weighs 225; Theodore is 73, six feet six, 
and weighs 230 pounds. They are in excel¬ 
lent health and vigorous beyond their years. 
Senator Ev arts’s country seat in the up¬ 
per valley of the Connecticut, comprises 800 
acres Of meadow aud forest. The Senator 
entertains like a priuee, and Mrs. Evarts is 
described as a queenly woman iu her domestic 
sphere or in social duty, closely resembling 
the portrait of Martha Washington, which 
hangs iu the East Room of the White House. 
The largest pension ever paid iu the United 
States was paid at the United States Pension 
Office, in Louisville, Ky., Thursday, to Mar¬ 
cus D. Richardson, au aged soldier living at 
Milton, Ky. The cause for grunting the pen¬ 
sion is total blindness, brought on by an in¬ 
jury to the eyes received in the war in 18(53. 
The pension dated back to that year aud 
amounted to 811,500. 
Two or three years ago Phil Armour saw a 
negro porter in a palace car industriously try¬ 
ing to spell out words iu a well-thumbed read¬ 
er whenever he had a moment’s leisure. He 
became interested in the boy and offered him 
825 if he’d read six lines before the train 
reached its destination. The porter, by hard 
work, earned the money, and now he is a 
student iu Oberlin College, seut there by the 
generous Chicago packer. He is very black 
and very ambitious.
