Mrs. Willing, of Chicago, obtained
a1dstook with her three companions. One
of the latter, falling into fit of loquacity,
said she had always been anxious to meet
the Emperor, because a relation of hers
resided in his dominiOns. With his usual
politeness, the Emperor inquired where
this relation lived, and was told in
VALPARAISO" He then reminded her that
VALPARAISO was in Chill The effect OF
this blunder was so terrible that the liter
arv ladies were unable to recover their
spirits, and they retreated hastily to repair
damages.
some personal "reminiscences of Mr.
Bloss, the well-known editor Of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, are furnished by that
paper. At the time of the sad accident
!, Oh, voonJtoA -, hSc Goofh Mr. R10sc
had been connected with the Enquirer
twenty-four years. During the last few
years of his service, he was a privileged
character, and could write as little or as
much editorial matter as he chose. His
uncompromising honesty and independ-
ence often placed him in position of
antagonism to the policy of the paper, and
the responsible editors were frequently
obliged to cross out what he had written
after it had been put in type.
The New York Graphic gives this
explanation: sMr. William Henry Hurls
younger brother of Gen. Stephen Angus
tus Hurlbut, who was quite distinguished
in the Seminole war, was q Brigadier-
General in the late Civil War, was Minis
ter to the States Of Colombia in 186S-'73,
and has since been Republican member
of Congress from Illinois. While he, as
his father did before him. insisted upon
the spelling Of the name as Hurlbut, Will
liam Henry's finer instincts insisted upon
the old English name, from which the
family traces, OF Hurlbert. Those who
wish to address letters to the new editor
are warned accordingly"
"A list of A. T. Stewards employees
who received $500 and upward from Mr..
Stewards estate is published in the New
York Herald. There are 300 names on
the record, and the amount paid out is
nearly $25O,OOO. "The foreign en-
ployes," says the Herald, twill have their
amounts sent out by the next steamer, and
those at the various branch houses of the
firm in England, Scotland, Ireland,
France, Prussia and Saxony will receive
equal consideration, as Mr.. Stewart in
tended. Every employe for the periods
| stated has now been recognized and re-
warded; every legacy given by the will
has been paid and satisfied; the business
progresses as was intended, and all moves
| in order. The women's hotel, the Garden
city water works and Improvements, the
| completion of the Grand Union hotel at
Saratoga, the construction Of the great
! carpet mills at Glenham, the Memorial
church for the merchants tomb, with
parsonage and school house, all progress
silently, as it were, but, as we are assured
none the less surely; and one by one other
measures and purposes will be developed,
as time will show"
