PERSONAL.

GARFIELD takes wine at dinner mOder-
ately likes farming, Greek and algebra
has four boys and one girl.
Ex-senator SPHAGCE denies that his
boy, Willie, shot at Trustee Thompson.
The children were only playing at pistol
practice when Daddy Thompson went by
and had no thought Of hurting him.
SARA BEaNHARDT made her first appear
ance in New York at Booths theatre last
evening. There was crowded and fash.
ionable audience, and her pcrsonation of
Adrienne Lecourreur evoked enthusias-
tic applause. There is quite diversity Of
opinions among the critics as to her acting,
and altogether her triumph is .."t rs great
as foreshadowed. Her art is pronounced
inferior to Rachel's.
ARCHIBALD CAMPBELL, the Wheeling
editor, who, in the Chicago convention,
declined to vote for Senator Conklirg' S
resolution pledging each delegate in ad-
vance to vote for the nominee, is talked of
for cabinet office. 1t is Incorrectly stated
that he is a son OF the founder of the
Campbellitc church. The prophets son is
Alexander Campbell, who ''took great
pleasure in voting against Galiicld.''
JOHN SHERMAN has written letter in
which he displays Micawber-ii!<c willing
ness to await whatever turns up. He says
he awaits "the judgment of the General
Assembly OF Ohio, unbiased by any express
sion Of my wish in the matter referred to.
l do not know what is the desire Of Cen
eral Garfield, but ] can see tilat my cleo
tion might relieve him from embarrass-
ment and free him to 90 as he thinks best
in the formation of his cabinct.'' If he
can get six years scnatorship he will re-
lieve Garfield from the embarrassment of
man!
HENRY WATTEEsoN. whose word
"only'' i'll the tariff plank many people
think did it, ascribes Hancock's defeat to
the Democratic party's too easy abandon
nent Of its fundamental principles. The
Republicans, he declares. are everything
bad but fools, and the Democrats though
honest are fools. He has no idea of 4 new
party but proclaims his own future posi-
ton something after this style: ''Wisc
men will halt, whilst useful men, taking
their political lives in their hands, do re-
connoiter. Claiming nothing, asking moth
ing, hoping only to he useful, we find our
selves standing upon the border line Of "a
great country and the confines of shift
ing situation and VIC shall constitute our
selves a vedettc, sending to the rear, if
possible, messages of chcc:-but, good
news or bad news-the truth. as we see it,
always. To this end, we ask the conf
dence Of our readers referring them to the
record as some guarantee of successful SER
vice, and at least rs an assurance of disin-
terestedncss and fidelity. These be slip
perry times, and no one on the skirmish line,
groping through the darkness, can be
certain of his steps, We shall be, from the
nature of the case, steady only in aim, in
tention and conviction; fearless at heart
and explicit as God wots and circum
stances shall allow. Wherefore, without
suspicion or rebuke, charging us with
nothing except what appears upon its face,
and literally discounting that-let us move
ahead. Applaud US if We run console us
if we fall but let us pass on for Gpd's
sake-Let us pass on!'
