Don Cameron is about fifty years of age. but
looks much younger. He is worth between
two and three millions, and never took an in

Six of Mrs. Hayes's old girl classmates ham
pened to be living at Washington at the time
of the Inauguration, and possessed their school
badges. They had the badge copied in buds
and blossoms and sent it to the Presidents wife
with their cards. and the next day Mrs. Hayes
sent for her old friends and held society re-.
union in the White House parlors
Simon Cameron acquired his familiar title Of
1.-THE Great Winnebago Chief almost forty
years ago. He was appointed by President
Van Buren, an agent to settle and adjust the
claims of the Winnebago Indians against the
United States, and was charged with paying
| the savages in notes of the Middletown Bank,
| of which he was principal owner, instead of
| gold.
DR.. Sohliemann has written to Mr.. Stedm.n
thanking him for his splendid article in the
New York Tribune on the "Treasure-Tombs at
My-kena." The appreciation of his labors by
the great American people, Dr. Schlemann
| writes, 'is the noblest and most hattering re.
ward he can wish for, and at the same time is
the greatest encouragement he could possibly
receive for the continuation of his hard toll ON

Clara Louise Kellogg was in the diplomatic
| gallery at Washington few days ago, and an
admiring correspondent writes: ''Her hair,
| worn in fluffy waves over her forehead rather
low down, added to her piquant style. Those
fair little hands, so perfect, as everybody
knows, on an arm not less exquisitely formed
than the statue of the Venus de Medici, were
gloved in dainty lemon color of palest hue.
She uses them gracefully, and smiling or talk
| ing shows set of handsome teeth and spark
l ling dark eyes to advantage. Miss Kellogg il
really beautiful woman, on whom ones
aesthetic tastes may dwell feastingly, and her
voice ripples limpidly as ever"
The new Governor of Ohio, Thomas Young.
who succeeds to the vacancy caused by Cover
nor Hayes's resignation, was born in back

| wealth. Arriving at the age of sixteen, he
| enlisted as private soldier in the regular ar

l and then settled down at Youngstown, but not
| for long, for, the war coming on, he enlisted.
In 1866 he resigned his commission of bripa-
| dier-general, and removed to Cincinnati. He
was elected Represe ntative, County Recorder

Mary Clemmer, in the Cincinnati CONNER
| cial speaks of the countsnauce of Mrs. HAYES
as singularly winning. 1t looks out from the
smooth bands OF dark hair with that look OF
sweet womanliness in the eyes that the world
has come to call Madonna and the pure head
looks strangely not at home under the pyramid
| of millinery that Cincinnati has set upon It in
| the shape of bonnet. No, she is not woman
| of the world, as we accept the term; she in
stinctively shrinks from low pecked dresses,
round dances, and much that the danes of the
'polite world wear with the ease of their old
| Shoes Her simple faiths, her old-time tender
| ness, John Wesley's discipline, she brings to
her high place and lays down on the shrine

The Misses EVarts-there are five or six who
can lay claim to this title-are all blondes. and
have in them the same vein of sApnlchral
| humor, SO to speak, which characterizes their
| father. They are not pretty, but thoroughly
intellectual and refined much more after the
Boston type than the metropolitan. In CON-
versation, if you can succeed in drawing them
into it, they show keen sense of the humorous
| and careful training in books and otherwiss-a
| training which is due to Mrs. Evarts. In dress
the young ladies are demure. They commonly
wear their hair in the most prim of knots, and
! display no ornaments, unless it be an antique
| gem, or something valuable for its age or his
| tory. But their silks are of the heaviest, and
they do not eschew sealskn sacques.
Hon. George w. McCrary, the new secretary
| of war, had few educational advantages in his
l youth. as schools on the frontier were then a
rarity, and words Of learned length seldom found
| utterance, except when some adyentur-
| Gus pedagogue organized a school in some log
| cabin and impaired to the youth of adjoining
| farms the mysteries of a rudlmentary educa-
tion. Young McCrary, like other farmer boys.

in Bertonsport, Vanburen County, Iowa. Dur
ing that season, in return for the privilege o
sleeping on cot in one of the village stores, he
engaged to guard the store at night, sweep it
out in the morning, and build the fires.
Secretary Richard W. Thompson, though 68
years of age, is erect, active and vigorous. He
is striking looking man, personally very

| His face is an exceedingly handsome face,

keen, shrewd intellect, the sharp perceptive
powers, the strong, well balanced mind, the
ever-busy. willing brain, that have placed the
