PERSONALITIES.

Oscar Wilde says he had his hair cut to
make him look like a young Roman Emperor.
He looked like the devil before.
Gerhard while in Europe travelled under the
name of Gibbs, but we do not know why un.
less it was because it rhymed with "his
Nibbs."
Paul Dana owns 500 blooded dogs. If Paul
went to Siberia he could purchase 100 wives,
according to the present market value of that
commodity.
Sitting Bull, in a religious point of view, is
not standing still. He expects to occupy a pew
in church before the next Indian summers
breezes blow.
Now that Mrs. Langtry has been insulted by
a crowd of hoodlums in Wall street, we suppose
Great Britain will demand an apology from
this country.
"a Mar Wanted" was the title of a lecture
in Providence the other night. Reports do not
say whether the lecturer was DIR. Mary
Walker or Phoebe Cozzens.
The full name of a young woman at West
Fork, La, is low Dakota Minnesota Bennett.
The truth leaked out when her young man
applied for a marriage license.

Probably not. 1t Is understood that her hus-
band is working like q beaver for her.
Joaquin Nliller's mother, who is sixty years
old, recently married q Portland, Oregon,
youth of the tender age of twenty-five. Joa-
quin will be a kind father to his step-pare't.
Frank Hatton undoubtedly holds four kings
and an ace. Unless some other gentleman
around the board holds a gan or a bowie-knife
there is likely to be trouble at the next show
down.
The New York Suns picture of William S.
Holman. represents that Indiana archive with
o collar about eight months behind the times.
This, we believe is characteristic of the man
generally.
Wilkie Collins wears striped and spotted
clothes and Mr.. Howells parts his hair in the
middle. Literature is slowly but surely being
dragged down to the level of and
craftsmanship.
Ed. Stokes is said to be one of the best pa.
irons of his bar, but u New York correspond.
ont believes that he keeps q private bottle, for
1t is intimated that the stuff sold over Stokes
mahogany is rather more dangerous than

Meissonier's portrait of Mrs. Bonanza Mac

elderly woman, with tho hands Of q plowman,
Instead of a sylph-like woman flying through
the upper ether of n sunset'unted cloud,or Ian

lawyers get through with him he will face the
gallows with a resignation bordering upon the
fortitude of the old time martyrs.
General Sherman was terribly hard pushed
when u young man and had to work SO many
hours u day earning n living that he had no
time to go to strawberry festivals, church So
cables and mite societies. Remember this
when inclined to blame him for never losing
a chance to kiss pretty girls who feel fattered
by the attentions of q great general. He is
only trying to make up for lost time, that's
all.
A few minutes after Mr.. Joel Chandler
Harris had registered his name at a Boston
hotel the other day he was slapped on tho

hello, Harris, old man! How are you, When
did you leave Atlanta 'Uncle Rsmus"
looked at him from head TO foot, carefully,
and then said: 'My name isn't Harris. I'm
Charles Francis Adums;' and it was surpris-
ing to see how quickly the stranger disap.
peared. All of which shows that Boston still
has her bunko ~steerers, and also that Uncle
Remus' knows Just how to fix Boston
Gazette.
