GENERAL Personal MENTION.


George E. Loring, ex-minister to Port
ugal, who has been critically i'll at his
/ home in Salem, will recover.
! Colonel Canto, the leader of the vic
! torious Chilian insurgents, is fighter
who never tires of fighting or thinks of
giving up because he may be occasion
/ ally foored.
William Waldorf Astor, the New York
millionaire, will establish his residence
permanently in England. He will never
return to this country, it is added, ex-
cept on a visit, and precisely as an Eng
hshman would.
The Rev. DIR. Phillips Brooks will
preach at the opening service at Apple
ton chapel, Harvard university, this
fall. 1t will probably be his last service in
his official capacity as one of the preach
ers to the university.
Muller Ury has just painted beauti-
ful portrait of Mrs. Toeodore Haveme-
yer, Try, it will be remembered, is the
young Swiss artist who painted the sue
cessful portrait of Mr.. Depew which was
exhibited in New York last winter.
The Duke of Norfolk has been on
visit to. the famous shrine of Glaston-
bury, III hope of benefting his crippled
son, on whose behalf he has prayed,
probably, at every well-known holy spot
in Europe. The duke is, next to the
marquis of Butte, the wealthiest of the
Catholic peers in England, and his VISIT
to Glastonbury has been followed by a
report, which is probably well founded,
that the ruins of the grand old abbey are
to be purchased and made habitable for
the settlement of monks of the Benedic-
tine order. Three-fourths of the visitors
to Glastonbury are Americans.
Michael Davitt has been living in Oak
land, Cal, for few months, and he is
going to return to Ireland to his life
work. In an interview yesterday he
said: 'Ii eland is on the brink of her
freedom. Home rule is only matter of
a few years"

in the United States senate vacated by
jefferson Davis in 1860. He found in
the desk the manuscript of the last ad-
dress made by the senate by the future
president of the Southern Confederacy,
and retained it as momento.
General William II. F. Lee is bigger
man than his father, the late Confeder-
ate leader, but he has sense enough to
know that he has neither inherited his
sire's fame as an orator nor his honors
as soldier. The result is that he is
sensible, satisfied and plodding congress-
man.
Some German friends of General Franz
Sigel are considering a plan to raise a
fund for the old soldier by popular sub
scription. The general has been very
unfortunate during the past few years,
and at present he is living on pension
of 500 per month, which was xarded
him by congress, a few months ago.
NJ. H. DeYoung, the California editor
started his first newspaper in San Fran
cisco in 1868 on capital of $20-and
that loaned him by more prosperous
acquaintance. Bret Harte was at that
time clerk in the mint and did his first
writing for Mr.. DeYoung's paper, never
asking for pay for his contributions
Within few weeks after the paper was
started its advertising receipts were
$1,000 month.
The modesty of The Dalles' which
prevented her people from asking for
aid is not commendable Here is
great rich city anxious to send assist
ance to their suffering neighbors. 1t
was the duty of The Dalles to cay that
she needed Portland's generoslty.-iSun-
day Welcome.
The pole Lima bean has not yet been
superseded by the bush Lima, though
the latter is more easily grown. In
stead of using poles to each hill, as is
the custom, brush will answer, and wire
that is stretched along the rows (several
strands deing used) will also provide
support, if poles are difficult to obtain.
