| FERNANDO WOODS last wife is still
living, but is hopelessly insane. Her
mother, Mrs. Drake Mills, was very &C.
centric. She was very rich and during
her life lived in Il small room on the top
floor of i second class hotel. She took
great delight in annoying Mr.. Wood and
his wife with whom she was not on good
terms. She had the finest diamonds in
Washington and her victoria, drawn by
4 magnificent pair Of banged chestnut
horses imported from England and driven
by an old coacl,man OF Lord Napiers's was
a swell! affair. She was very fat and com
mon looking" but when she drove on she
was dressed in the gayest colors and her
lap was covered with robe Of ostrich
plumes. She fell cut of the window one
night while under tie influence of liquor,
and was found in the area of the hotel in
the morning. She left will in which she
bequeathed Mr.. Wood 4 dollar gold piece
'to remember me by"
Rams,lell, writing to the Times, says
Mr.. RANDALL, take him all in al, has
made 4 good speaker. He has been less
impartial and less impcrious than Blaine
was, and has, indeed. been as fair rs his
duty to his party would permit. He has
defeated some bills, notably those for the
encouragement of our commerce, Which
ought to have been passed, but he has
prevented the passage of many more that
were dangerous. He rctires with some
enemies among his own party, but gen
orally it will be admitted that he admins
tered his great and most difficult office
with distinguished credit. He will go
back to the floor with increased capacity
to annoy and exasrerate the Republicans.
With perfect mastery of tho rules, added
to his quickness and his wcl[kLown in
dustry, he will be a great big thorn in the
sides of the Republicans He will, of
course, he the Democratic leader, and l
can think of nobody on the Republican
side at all competent to compete with him,
especially since C"ngcr goes to the other
end Of the capi toll
