Personalities.

The Princess Isabella. OF Bavaria, re-
rently married to the Duke of Genoa, is
described as looking like a wax statue.
without particle of color in the face,
rich auburn hair, large, dark, wistful
eyes, and the figure of Juno. She is
very timid and retiring, and even her
smile is tinged with sadness.
Miss Stone, the daughter of Stone
Pasha, who was formerly an American
General and recently in the service OF
the Khedive, is said to be one of the
most accomplished linguists in the world,
and the best Arabic scholar of her sex.
Mr.. James.Robinson, the unchallenged
bareback rider of the world, and whom
all Americans love to call "Our Jim," is
now under engagement to w. w. Cole,
the great Snowman, at salary of $l GOD
per week, or $52 600 per annum. The
president OF the United States only re-
ceives $50, 90 year. After all the loca-
ton of talent is the prime factor in mans
life.

Senator Justin s. Morrill,, "the father
of the tariff" lives at Stafford, one OF
the quietest and sleepiest and most out
of-the- way villages in the Green Noun
tain State; withal, it is a place OF great
pastoral beauty. The distinguished
statesman lives in handsome house
surrounded by lawns and groves of elms
and naples. Within is one Of the finest
private libraries in New England, and
in the hallway hangs ife.sized paint
ing of Senator Morrill, at fifty six years
of age-seventeen years ago.
DR.. J. III. Zukertort of London, who
has lust won the chess championship, is
forty:one years old: He made the DC
utiaintance of the late Herr Andersen,
the famous chess player, at Breslau Uui-
versity, and in a few years he became
well known as one Of the most skilful
chess players in Germany. He is cele-
brated as a blindfolded player. Once,
at the West End Club, he played six
teen games without seeing the boards,
winning twelve and losing only one;
three were drawn. He won the first
prize in the Paris tournament in 1873,
and divided with Captain Mackenzie OF
New York the fourth and fifth prizes at
the Vienna tournament last year.
A few weeks ago Baltimore was inter-
ested in the conversion ofa young girl
named Galloway to the Jewish faith
though the fundamentally of Rabbi
Lilienthal. Soon afterward some excite
nent was produced by the reported de-
termination of a young Hebrew to mar
nv the convert whether she would or no.
The precise history of that enterprise has
never been ascertained, but the result of
it was that the young people separated,
each protesting that the other was de-
testible object. 1t now appears that the
Rabbits Joy at the conversation of Miss
Galloway was not altogether spiritual,
for, having adopted her as his daughter
and given her his own name, he OBJ
tanned on Monday last License to mar
~ her. The Baltimore American, which
reports the case, adds that at last &C.
counts the Rabbi had failed to induce
anybody to perform the marriage cere
mony, although he had made numerous
persistent attempts.
Mrs. Bell, wife of Professor Graham
Bell, the electrician, was one of the deaf
pupils of DR.. Gallaudet in Washington.
Professor Bell first met her at recep-
ton at the college, and so expert was
she in reading speech by the motion of
the lips that they conversed together
for some time without his discovering
her infrmity. At last, walking through
the conservatory, where some of the
Chinese lanterns had gone out, he made
some remark requiring an answer. But
none was forthcoming, it being not light
enough for her to see the movements of
his lips. He repeated the remark and
again got only silence for reply. Mysti-
fed, he soon escorted her back to the
parlor, and then in the brilliant light
asked her why she did not answer him;
but his amazement was redoubled ten
fold at her ready reply: 81 have never
heard sound in all my life"
