ALFRED BRIDGEMAN, 
37 East 19th street. New lvrk City. 
The wealthiest woman in California is Mrs. 
Mark Hopkins, the widow of one of the four 
original founders of the Central Pacific Rail¬ 
road. Her fortune is estimated at $40,000,000. 
She divides her time between San Francisco 
and Great Barrington, Massachusetts. 
British peers and sons of peers hold salaried 
offices under the new Tory government to the 
amount of $550,000 annually. In addition, the 
Duchess of Buecleuch gets $2,500 a year as 
Mistress of the Robes, and eight other peer¬ 
esses $2,500 apiece us Ladies of the Bedcham¬ 
ber. 
August Belmont, the banker, is a short 
man with a withered leg. His favorite posi¬ 
tion when speaking to friends is to stand on 
his left foot, stroking his tight thigh, as if it 
pained him. Mr. Belmont has a square-cut, 
florid, heavy face and English-cut side whisk¬ 
ers, well sprinkled with gray, 
Mb. George J. Gould is an expert telegraph 
operator. It took him five months to learn 
the business, and now he can understand a 
great many messages not intended for him. 
During 1 lie late strikes he found this accom¬ 
plishment of much service, and was able to 
talk with his father, who was in Havana. 
Viscomtk ok la Motte Rouge, Inspector 
General of the National Stud of France, has 
been visiting Com. Colniau, at Washington. 
He came to the United .States by appointment 
of the Minister of Agriculture of Fraree, at 
the request of the Commissioner, to act as 
judge at the great horse exhibition at Chi¬ 
cago. 
It is said that, notwithstanding Dr. Ward’s 
advice that he fish and shoot industriously 
while in the woods, in order to reduce his 
flesh. President Cleveland took it easy, ate 
very heartily, took a nap each afternoon, and 
thus came out of the woods Id pounds heavier 
than when he Went in, and has never weighed 
so much us now. 
Numerous country papers report that 
through the efforts of lioseoe Coukling the 
heirs of the so-called Mercer estate are about 
to realize on their shadowy claims for §500,- 
000,000 worth of property in Harlem. The 
Ex-Senator says he has uever had any connec¬ 
tion with or knowledge of the case. A fraud 
on the credulous somewhere. 
When Bob Taylor was first talked of for 
Governor of Tennessee there was some doubt 
whether he would accept, and a telegram was 
sent him to know positively, lie returned tho 
following answer: *’A poor old man once 
dragged himself 'Jo miles t,<> see my mother. 
When he got ready to leave he said: ‘Mad¬ 
ame. if you don’t believe I can tote a ham 
home just, try me!” 
Gen. Francis 2 V Walker and John Boyle 
O'Reilly, Boston celcbruties, but of suflk’ient 
note throughout (lie nut on to come under the 
head of “people we talk about,” are very 
much alike In appearance. Says one who 
knows them: “Both ure stout and square in 
build, with faces of a dark Italian type and 
expres ive eyes.” O’Reilly, however, is ner¬ 
vous and of lighter frame. 
Said Fanny Kemble to a Massachusetts 
countryman whose trap she had hired during 
a vacation: “Sir, I have engaged you to drive 
me, not to talk to me.” When the vacation 
was over she sent for his bill. Ruuuiug her 
eyes down its columns she paused. “What is 
this item, sir?” said she, "L cannot understand 
it.” And with equal gravity he rejoined: 
“Sass, §5. 1 don’t often take it, but when I 
do I charge.” 
Mr. Robert Adams, Jr., who recently in¬ 
troduced into the Pennsylvania Legislature a 
bill to provide corporal punishment for men 
who boat their wives, quotes Mr. Darwin to 
the effect that, with the exception of tho seal, 
“man is the only animal in creation which 
maltreats its mate or female of its own kind,” 
and declares that, in Maryland, where a simi¬ 
lar law was passed three years ago, the crime 
of wife-beating ceased as if by magic, after 
the first conviction. 
The undertaker who embalmed the body of 
General Grant lias been trying to find some¬ 
body to pay tus bill, but without success, and 
has finally brought suit for the amount—§500 
—aguinst Mr. Arkell, the manager of the 
company that owns Mount McGregor, who 
gave him the order. On the publication of 
these not very creditable facts in the New 
York Sun, the editor of that paper adds a note 
that if the undertaker will send the bill to him 
lie will remit the amount.
