PERSONALS. 
One of Secretary Whitney’s private hobbies 
is said to be fancy chicken raising. 
Bon Ingersoll says that “no man has a 
right to own more land than he can use,” 
Justice Miller, of the United States Su¬ 
preme Bench, can put on boxing gloves witli 
anybody short of Dominick McCaffrey, 
Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, is credited 
with saying: “When 1 am running for office I 
would accept the devil’s vote and thank him 
for it.” 
POSTMASTER-itENERAL VlLAS takes his 
noon-day lunch at a dairy restaurant, where 
he gets a mug of milk and piece of apple pie 
for 15 cents. 
From i’aris the humorous announcement 
comes that Sarah Bernhardt will first get out 
of debt nod then get into it again by attempt¬ 
ing to become a lady farmer in rural France. 
“ A PATERN At.goveru m<>nt Lsan in fernal gov¬ 
ernment." says Ilenry Ward Beecher. This is 
another form of Thomas Jefferson's maxim 
that that government is the best that governs 
the least. 
Miss Cleveland has sent word to the 
President that she will accept his iuvitation 
to spend the holidays at the White House. 
Since leaving the capital Miss Cleveland has 
been fur from strong. 
President Cleveland has written a letter 
to Secretary Manning authorizing the latter 
to have the Bartholdi Statue placed under the 
care of the Lighthouse Board as a beacon, and 
that it be so maintained, lighted and tended. 
A new operatic stm . Frauloin Anna Kirbel, 
is creating a great sensation in Norway. Ole 
Bull's son. Alexander, among other experts, is 
said to have predicted that Fraulein Kirbel 
will throw Jenny Lind into the shade. She is 
23 years of age. 
Gen. Sherman is growing fonder of the 
drama and the opera every day. One of his 
chief reasons iu coming to New York to spend 
the Winter was the desire to have this sort of 
entertainment at its best. On just this one 
point ho admits that. Ins beloved St, Louis is 
not quite up to the age. 
Jay Gotti.d will go yachting again this 
Winter to Bermuda and the Southern islands 
that he visited lust Winter. He will take his 
photographic apparatus aloug, as he did on 
that other trip, and a hundred or two new 
views will be added to the collection that 
shows his own handiwork. 
Henry M. Stanley, the explorer, is iu ro¬ 
bust health and has grown stout since lie was 
last in Now York. An old brown Derby hat 
of a style several years gone by, a dingy, 
brown overcoat, check trousers, an old- 
fashioned linen collar and a general air of 
neglect, are marked features of his appear¬ 
ance. 
Dr. Colin, of Paris, shows that the annual 
average number of deaths from hydrophobia 
iu France in 2G, and that since M. Pasteur be¬ 
gan his treatment the average has not 
changed. An official statement shows that 
only 350 persons were bitten by mad dogs last 
year in France; while Pasteur treated 1. TOO 
patients 
Governor-elect “Bob” Taylor, of Ten¬ 
nessee, is now in Washington modestly receiv¬ 
ing congratulations for liis victory over Ids 
Republican brother. A man of medium 
bight, well bred anl dressed; a lawyer re¬ 
markably well read—88 to 10 years old. He 
denies emphatically that, he or his brother 
ever indulged in the buffoonery of liddle-ulay- 
ing for the public during the late canvass. 
Fred A. Hill, an ex-employ£ of Armour & 
Co., Chicago, and lately one of the greatest 
‘‘plungers” or speculators iu the grain pit, 
was laid out by the advance of two cents a 
bushel iu wheat last Monday. He frequent¬ 
ly bought or sold over 8,000,000 bushels a day, 
and that on less than $80,000 capital. A dis- 
organizer of the market, few, except those 
who lose by him, will regret the fellow’s fate. 
Sued, the great Italian faster, started an¬ 
other long fast Tuesday. His last meal con¬ 
sisted of oysters, steak, solo, wine ami coffee, 
followed by a cigar. He will drink aerated 
waters only. His body is to be rubbed with 
oil as often as lie likes. He will daily drink 
his mysterious liquor for 80 days. Then he 
will substitute another. The former ho will 
notallow to be analyzed; it is claimed to be 
life-sustaining and an autidote against the 
second kind, which is deadly poison, and which 
he will permit to bo analyzed. Entrance fee 
charged. Merlatti’s fast still continues.
