PERSONALS 
At Queen Victoria’s table there are three 
servants to every six guests. When the meal 
is finished Her Majesty is the first to leave the 
room. 
The widow of Dr. Octave Pavy, late acting 
assistant surgeon United States Army, un¬ 
der contract with the G-reely expedition, who 
died of starvation at Cape Sabine about June 
0, 1884, will receive a pension of *17 per 
month. 
Pasteur says that out of 1,200 uatives 
treated by him for the bites of rabid animals 
only three died, and of 600 foreigners who 
came from long distances, only 15 died. How 
many were bitten by really mad animals, and 
how many of them were hydrophobia-proof 
anyhow? 
Emperor William is accompanied in all 
his travels by three court physicians, He may 
die at any moment at his groat age. He is 
now the great peace-preserver of Europe. On 
his death, war is nearly certain, as the politi¬ 
cal relations of nearly all European nations 
will change. 
The mother of the present Czar bequeathed 
2,000,000 roubles to Prince Alexander, late of 
Bulgariu, who was her favorite nephew. The 
legacy has never been paid, but the Prince 
has received the interest on it. His cousin, 
the Czar, has for years disliked him pci sou- 
ally on account of a childhood quarrel. He 
was a great favorite with the late Czar. 
Congressman Feltov, of California, comes 
of a family of lawyers, his grandfather hav¬ 
ing been Chief Justice of New York. He 
went to California when only 10 years old, 
without a cent. He made a fortune in a few 
years by buying and selling mines. He now 
owns the entire oil belt of the Pacific coast, 
and his wealtli is estimated at ?t0,OO(),00l). 
The entire domain of Chantilly, with its 
magnificent castles and all its dependencies, 
the value of which at the lowest estimate is 
over 60,000,00 of francs—*12,000,000—has been 
presented by the Due d’Aumale to the Insti¬ 
tute of France, to Is; held by it in trust for 
the French nation. After defraying the ex¬ 
penses of keeping the place up, the surplus 
revenue is to be devoted to the promotion and 
reward of art aud literature. 
The Chevalier Johu Sartain, of Philadel¬ 
phia, long distinguished as uu engraver, is 
almost 8U aud very vigorous. He introduced 
mezzotint mto America, established a maga¬ 
zine, fed and clothed Edgar A. Poe, received 
decorations fro half a dozeu European po¬ 
tentates, managed the art department of the 
Centennial Exhibition, still occupies the house 
to whieh he brought his bride from England 
60 years ago, and next Spring will proceed to 
Loudon to take charge of the art department 
of the forthcoming American Exhibition.
