Living in the home of the Little Sisters
of the Poor, in the outskirts of Baltimore,
is an old lady named Mrs Johanna East
way, who is proved by irrefragable evidence
to be the mother of Henry M. Stanley, the
world-renowned African explorer. Mrs.
Eastway was born in County Cork, Ireland,
nearly seventy years ago. Her father was
a butcher named Hauckens, and lived I'M
til she had grown to womanhood. She

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore came near death
at a railway station in New York, "a few
days ago. She was about to alight from
the steps of the car when the engineer
started the train suddenly without signal,
and Mrs Livermore was thrown backward

force Oh the rail. A physician restored her

Speaking of the Archbishop of Canter-
bury, writer from London says: "He owes
nothing to birth but the mother wit which
has enabled him to win the various prizes
Of his profession. Any day you may chance
to see DIR. TAFT walking about the streets of
London, and haply staring into the shop
windows. He will probably be attended
by a chaplain, and of course he will wear
the unimposing dress Of his order. The
imagination must make slight effort to re-
alize that the aged, mild looking gentleman
in CATERS is the first British subject after
the princess Of the blood, and fills the place
once filed by Laufrane, and Beckett, and
Iangton, by Gran, er and Laud." DR..
TAFT is now 70 years old.
Judge Martin J. Crawford. of the supreme
court of Georgia, has been moved to say
something about story that he has thought
ofsresigning to run for governor. HIS let

aspirations which I might have had here
tofore went down with tho confed-
crate flag; hence I have given
my time and attention to other
fields Of labor" And he concluded with:
If, however, at the proper time the friends
Of good government, law, order, and an
honest administration of the affairs of the

standard-bearer in the struggle alluded to,
and l should accept it, I would most GER

Anxious friends Of Mile. Bernhardt are
said to be considerably concerned for her
health, which more than ever gives signs of
failing. Of late, she has been often at
tackled by fainting fits, and it is feared that
she may permanently break down, unless
she ceases for a time to work. Her doctors
have repeatedly advised her to rest, but all
they can say has little influence upon Sarah.
Recently she tainted at the conclusion of
"Adrienne," but petulantly insisted, against
their advice, on playing as usual on the
following day. Fortunately she got through
that day without harm, but she could not
resist reproaching her doctors, with tri-
umphant air, at the failure of their predic-
tions. Her friends, however, are said to be
none the less anxious about her, and to
fear the terrible day may yet come upon
her suddenly and with irresistible
force.
The fund for the monument to Garfield
at Cleveland may very likely reach $780,
600 in time. It is now about $4,000, of
which Ohio has given nearly $780, 900 and
the rest of the Union about S12, 900; and
of Ohio's portion about $4,000 were con-
tributed by Cleveland. Expectations are

wood, cloth, and other material used around
the catafalque will net handsome sum for
the building fund, to which the proceeds
are to be devoted. These relics have lately
appeared in several cities, including New
York, and are advertised with the holiday
goods, the authenticity Of each memento
being duly certified
