PERSONAL AND LITERARY.

Alexander H. Stephens has gained
sufficient strength to take outdoor exer-
else with the aid of clutches.
The father of Charlie Ross is still
chasing about the country in response to
cruel kilograms that invariably lead him
to the wrong boy.
Mrs. Sturgis, the mother of Lieut..
Sturgis who was killed in the Custer mas
sacre and who was her only son, has be-
come insane from grief.
The New York Sun takes the ground
that Stanley in his cruises among African
lakes, taking what he wants and killing
whom he chooses, is little better than a
pirate.
Mrs. Ole Bull has written letter to
the Madison Journal, giving an account
of her trip across the Atlantic, and con-
veying intelligence of her reunion with
her husband in Normandy.
Susan A. King, who came from the
same town in Maine that Annie Louise
Cary did, is now one of the most success
full real operators in New York
City. She boasts that when she first came
to New York she often had not as much
money as would pay her street-car fare.
John Morrissey gave his son, John
Morrissey, Jr., aged twenty-one years, a
reception at Saratoga few evenings ago,
at which one hundred persons were
present. The young man received from

The Rev. Brooks Hereford, the new
Unitarian minister in Chicago, recently
said that after being in this country a
fortnight he began to realize what a small
place England is and could understand
the feeling of the American who said that
he was afraid to 60 out on dark nights in
England for fear he should fall over the
side.
M. Renan, instead of saying there are
not brains enough to go around, puts the
case in this way: Thought centralized
in some superior man is the only end of
nature. Humanity is great tree which
drops its thousands of small fruit; it is
necessary that millions should suffer, work
and die in order that one great man ap-
pear"
One curious feature of the Charlie
Ross case has been pointed out by the New
York EUening Post. It consists in the
fact that so many children supposed to be
the lost Ross boy have been discovered in
various parts of the country. These chill
dren, or many of them, must have been
held under suspicious circumstances, and
the inference is that tile crime of abduc-
ton is much more common in this coun-
try than has heretofore been imagined.
No doubt many children have been stolen
concerning whom there has been no pub
lie excitement.
Don Carlos and his ways are thus de-
scribed by a correspondent at Newport,
where the Spanish leader is now staying
Perhaps the least airy man in Newport
for one at least of such distinction, is Don
Carlos. He strolls about the Ocean House
piazza as quietly as the most obscure OF
the guests, talks softly with the members
of his suite and friends, but occasionally
INDUCES as any other mortal in hearty
laugh. He walks, drives, goes yachting
and bathes in the most transformations
manner. But his bathing! Thereby hangs
tale. Each time he goes to the beach
some small article may be seen passed to
an attendant. 1t is a ring studded with
precious stones, and engraved on it may
be read, Margarita Carlos, 4 2 1867
Tie explanation of this is that he was
married to Donna Margarita on the 4th of
February, 1867. He cherishes the ring
not for its intrinsic value, but for its
precious memories. His wife is at pres
ent at Pau, France, and he will join her
at Paris two months hence
