PERSONAL. WHEELER is the only one who isn't a governor. The Custer monument fund in New York has reached $5,388. A son of old John Brown lives on Jay Cooke's Island of Gibraltar. A town in Illinois has been divided and one-half named Custer. Congressman Seelye has accepted the Presidency of Amherst College. Ex-United States Senator George E. Pugh died recently at Cincinnati. Charles Francis Adams has been re-elected President of the Harvard Board of Overseers. The presence in this country of Don Carlos was still unknown in Madrid on the 1st of July. Gen. T. W. Bennett, recently appointed by the President for Governor of Idaho Territory, declines the office. Blaine has left for Rye Beach to recuperate. His health is not much improved, but he is physically a little stronger. Dio Lewis has observed that a lady will eat four times as much corned beef and cabbage when alone as when anybody sees her. Robert Dale Owen says that his late illness was due to dyspepsia, and that rest, water-cure, and milk diet have restored his health. Rev. John D. Blair of the Newark (N. J.) Methodist Conference is dead. He was one of the first Methodist ministers to California, and established two churches in San Francisco. Kate Field made the great mistake of speaking too well at the Hospital Dinner in London; the prosy old gentlemen were jealous of her, and pooh-poohed the idea of a woman talking in public. A number of prominent ladies have purchased the Old South Church building of Boston, and if they cannot raise the amount required to purchase the land in sixty days, will take down the building and re-erect it elsewhere. Kate Field means to acquire all the accomplishments. She is author, lecturer, singer and actress. And now she appears in the role of after-dinner speaker, and wins attention and applause where most speakers merely produce a weariness and are tolerated as bores. DOES the Tribune think it honest jourOLD Rough and Ready. INTERESTING ARCHIVE TOLD BY GEN. SHIELDS. In his lecture giving his reminiscences of the Mexican War, which he is now delivering in many of the towns of Missouri, Gen. James Shields tells the following: "It was in the year 1846 that upon the banks of the Rio Grande I first met Gen. Taylor. Before leaving my home in Illinois I heard of him. He was the hero of the day; the whole country resounded with his name and exploits. Well, when I was presented to him I confess I was considerably surprised. He was somewhat below medium height, was short and stout; in fact, was what you would call dummy. He wore a straw hat, an old linen duster that looked as if it might not have been washed since he fought the battle of Palo Alto. (Laughter.) His pants were large and loose, and on his honest feet he wore coarse soldier shoes, not very handsome, but very comfortable, let me assure you. His face was not handsome—no, it would have been at first sight called homely; but there was about it that which impressed one with the grand honesty and decision of the man. He stood upon his feet as solid and determined as a prairie buffalo. As I have remarked, I was considerably taken aback when I was presented to Gen. Taylor, but when he held out his honest palm to me and bade me welcome in his hearty, off-hand way, I knew that I had 'Old Rough and Ready' right before me—as brave a soldier as ever battled for his country, and as honest a soldier as ever won the suffrages of the American people. That day," continued the speaker, "I dined with Gen. Taylor, and upon that occasion there were also present Col. Bliss, and Col. Clay, of Kentucky, a son of Henry Clay. Of the four assembled together at that time, I am to-day the sole survivor. "While we were at dinner a guard filed in with two prisoners that had just been arrested. The men had been two days peddling oranges through the camp, and by accident one of the soldiers had discovered that under their coarse garments they wore the finest linen. So the two were arrested, and carefully concealed about their persons had been found papers containing very valuable information concerning the American camp, the number of men in arms, and the best points for attack. These papers were handed over to Gen. Taylor, and after reading Another During ReMinn. St. Louis, July 7 railroad robbery took Missouri last night spects and excelling one on record.

DOES THE TRIBUNE think it honest journalism to continue to repeat the charge that Miss Anha E. Dickinson and Mr. John C. Cooper have formed a business partnership when both parties have repeatedly denied it over their own names? Miss Dickinson is her own boss.—N. Y. Graphic. HARRIET MARTINEAU refused a pension from the crown upon the ground that her acceptance of money raised by a system of taxation that she had in her books of political economy steadfastly opposed would be inconsistent and wrong. That is the sort of principle she is principally made of. MRS. MAXWELL, the celebrated hunteress of Colorado, exhibits a large collection of stuffed animals and birds killed by her hand, including a buffalo, Rocky mountain lion, and a grizzly bear. She is a slim, but wiry and active woman, and not so masculine in her appearance as would be thought. MISS MARY ANDERSON, the young Western actress, who last season attracted much attention in several cities, will make a professional visit to New York next spring. Miss Anderson is a native of Sacramento, California. She has acted Juliet, Meg Merriles, and other parts, and has been commended for natural ability and good professional method. PREVIOUS TO Governor Tilden’s election the salary of the Chief Executive of New York was $4,000 annually, with an allowance of $4,000 for rent, and about $5,000 for household expenses. Now the Governor’s salary is $10,000, with a rent allowance of $4,000. Governor Tilden receives no household expenses, and the rent of his Albany residence, with taxes added, is a trifle short of $10,000 annually. WASHINGTON HARD UP.—The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald gives the following as a copy of an autograph letter now in possession of a resident of that city: NEW YORK, May 22, 1789.—Dear sir: In addition to what I wrote you formerly on the subject of a loan, I now inform you (and desire that this letter, which conveys the information, may be destroyed as soon as used), that my utmost exertions were ineffectually used to borrow a sum of money (even at a high interest, and for me disadvantageous terms) to comply with contracts of my own before I left Virginia. Having made this communication, it is unnecessary to adduce further proof of my inability to comply with the request contained in your letter of the 18th instant. I am, sir, your most obedient servant, G. WASHINGTON. THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.—Mr. Hendricks was born in Ohio, September 7, 1819; graduated at Hanover College, Indiana, in 1841; prepared himself for his profession of law and public service. Kentucky, a son of Henry Clay. Of the four assembled together at that time, I am to-day the sole survivor. “While we were at dinner a guard filed in with two prisoners that had just been arrested. The men had been two days peddling oranges through the camp, and by accident one of the soldiers had discovered that under their coarse garments they wore the finest linen. So the two were arrested, and carefully concealed about their persons had been found papers containing very valuable information concerning the American camp, the number of men in arms, and the best points for attack. These papers were handed over to Gen. Taylor, and after reading them, he passed them to the rest of us. They were unmistakable evidences that the two men were spies. ‘Call my interpreter,’ demanded Gen. Taylor. The General could not speak Spanish. The only Spanish word he knew was ‘vamos,’ and he used it on all occasions. When ever he invited the Mexicans into camp, he said ‘vamos,’ and whenever he ordered them out of camp, he said ‘vamos.’ (Laughter.) The interpreter having arrived, Gen. Taylor said to him, ‘Ask them who they are.’ The prisoners replied that they were Mexican soldiers. ‘Humph! Thought so. Now ask them what their rank is.’ They looked at each other a moment, as much as to say, ‘We might as well tell the truth,’ and answered that they were Colonels—one of them Chief of the Engineer Corps at Monterey. ‘Aha!’ said Gen. Taylor, ‘so much the worse. And now ask them who sent them here.’ They replied that they had come in obedience to the orders of Gen. Apudia. ‘Gen. Apudia sent you, did he’ roared old Rough and Ready. ‘Well, I say Gen. Apudia is no gentleman, or he would not have sent you here upon this sneaking errand, to spy about our camp. I say he is no gentleman.’ The prisoners had just begun to understand that the man whom they were before was the American General, and when he uttered this hasty opinion of their chief they bowed very low. Gen. Taylor asked them if they knew the penalty of their crime; if they knew that, as spies, ought to be shot. At once the prisoners drew themselves up proudly, and said they knew the penalty, but if they were to die they trusted they would meet their fate like brave men. Their bravery pleased the bluff old soldier, and after a moment’s thought, he said, ‘Well, I’ll let you go this time, but if I ever catch you spying here again, I’ll have you shot—shot like Mexican dogs! Now vamos! vamos!’ and tell Gen. Apudia that when he wants to find out about our army, he may send a delegation of his officers here, and I will escort them about myself, and order a review of the troops for their especial benefit.” The liberated men scampered off briskly.

HENDRICKS.—Mr. Hendricks was born in Ohio, September 7, 1819; graduated at Hanover College, Indiana, in 1841; prepared himself for his profession of the law, and settled in Indiana, and practiced with considerable success for some years, though frequently mingling in politics; in 1848 he was chosen to the State Legislature. From 1851 to 1855 he was a Representative in Congress. In 1860 he ran for Governor against Henry S. Lane and was defeated. In 1862 he was chosen to the United States Senate for the term ending in 1869. In the Democratic National Convention of 1868 he was a prominent candidate for the Presidency, and at one time had the highest vote, but was defeated by Vallandigham and the Ohio Democrats, who went for Seymour. He is at present Governor of Indiana, and his term will expire Jan. 1st, 1877. Since his Senatorial term expired he has been employed almost entirely in the practice of his profession. DEATH OF DR. W. W. HALL.—Two or three of our correspondents have asked us to explain the cause of the sudden death of this long-time advocate of hygienic method of living. Dr. Hall was sixty-five years of age, and had been a hard worker for forty years. His head was large, his temperament mental, and so drained his vital resources that he rarely exceeded one hundred and twenty-five pounds in weight. For many years it was his custom to rise at five in the morning, and work almost incessantly until late at night, in this, if in nothing else, violating an important rule of health he never failed to impress upon others. It was this excessive labor that brought about his death. About a year ago he was attacked with something like apoplexy while attending a concert at Gilmore's Garden, but he made light of the trouble; and although he always expressed a hope that he might die suddenly, he never seemed to think that his life would be brought to an end by apoplexy.—Pharmacological Journal. A SPECIMEN FAMILY. Detroit celebrated—you bet your house and lot she did! As a specimen of how she celebrated, take, for instance, the Hamerlin family. Early in the morning the old gent fell from a second-story window while putting out a flag, broke three flower-pots and a rib, and lemonade, doctors, brandy, sky-rockets and the Declaration of Independence were all tangled up around the house all day. Then his wife fell down the back stairs while hurrying to caution Johnny not to shoot crackers in the oven. She didn't break any bones, but she couldn't holler for liberty half as much as she wanted to. The boy John held one fire-cracker in his mouth while he shot off another on a hitching-post. Owing to some misunderstanding the two went off together, and then John went off. He didn't say much with his mouth during the rest of the day. A younger son fooled around with some loose powder in the morning, went out to cool his blisters in the afternoon, and was brought home to supper with a hole in his leg. Mr. Hamerlin's grown-up daughter didn't meet with any accident of any account. Some one hit her in the ear with a torpedo and a strange boy fired a shot-gun so close to her other ear that when any one now addresses her she puts her hand up and remarks: "Hey! What ju say! Speak a little louder, if you please." It won't be a month before the Hamerlin family will be as good as new, and as he yesterday remarked: "Why, it's worth ten thousand dollars to leave a patriotic record to posterity." Detroit Free Press. A GENTLEMAN gave his servant maid the following character the other day: "The bearer has been in my employ a year minus eleven months. During that time she has shown herself diligent—at the house door; frugal—in work; mindful—of herself; prompt—in excuses; friendly—toward men; faithful—to her lovers; and honest—when everything had vanished."

But when this fantastical humor is man or things will come mired again by a happy good taste. Another During Railroad Railway in Missouri. St. Louis, July 8.—Another daring railroad, robbery took place in western Missouri last night, equaling in all respects and excelling in many, any other one on record. From the confused accounts given by the passengers and railroad men the following facts are gleaned: The eastward bound train on the Missouri Pacific Road left Otterville, Missouri, a few minutes past ten o'clock last night. When two and a-half miles east of that place and in a deep cut the engineer saw a signal light to stop. Thinking some obstacle was on the track he applied the air brake, and after running a few yards discovered a pile of ties and lumber on the track. He comprehended the situation at once, but could not stop the train, and it was not till the locomotive had climbed partly up on this pile of ties that the train came to a stand. At the same instant a dozen or fifteen men appeared with terrific yells and discharging pistols dashed at the train, proclaiming their intention. Two jumped on the engine and with navy revolvers covered the engineer and firemen, and threatened to kill them if they offered resistance. They were then marched into the baggage car and placed under guard. At the same time the other robbers climbed into the express car by the side door, which was open. Bushnell, the express messenger, however, had been too quick for them and had dashed through the train to the rear sleeper, and giving his safe keys to a brakeman made him put them in his shoes. Mr. Conkling, the baggageman of the train, was in the express car when the robbers entered, and they demanded of him the keys of the safes. He told him he was not the messenger. Two of the robbers then put Conkling in front of them and with revolvers at his head marched him through the train demanding that he should point out the messenger when they came to him. In this way they passed through the entire train, to the terror of the women and children and great fear of the male passengers, many of whom had crouched down under the seats and hid themselves in various ways. Arriving at the rear sleeper Conkling pointed out Bushnell, and the robbers demanded the safe keys of him. Under the circumstances there was nothing to do but to yield, and Bushnell took the keys from the brakeman and handed them to the robbers. One of the latter then stood guard over Bushnell, while the others marched Conkling. Mechanized Institute Fair. Preparation for the Eleventh Industrial Exhibition—Problems of A Laws and Supervisory Display in Many Departments. The Manager of the Eleventh Industrial Fair, to be held under the auspices of the Mechanics Institute, are actively at work now arranging for the forthcoming Exhibitions. A meeting of the Board of Directors will be held this evening, and the report of the Committee on Literary Exercises submitted. The Committee will inform the Directory that Wade's Opera House has been selected as the place most suitable for the opening exercise. The programme will embrace the address by President Hallidie, the oration by Henry Edward, the reading of a poem and the rendition of vocal and instrumental music. It is the intention this year to make musical concerts at the Pavilion a leading feature of the Exhibition, and to that end Herold's services was engaged, and permission granted to increase the number of musicians. Those who attended the Fair last year will recollect that the pleasure of listening to the music was diminished by the constant racket of the drills and air compressors of the machinery department. To overcome that objection it has been decided to run a partition to the whole length of the Pavilion from Mission to Market streets on the first floor, and thus separate the machinery department from the rest of the exhibition. Under that order of things, visitors in search of mechanical knowledge can pursue their search for information without any annoyance from the brass band, while others who want to give their whole souls to the enjoyment of the music can do so without inwardly despairing the inventors of rock drills. There is already assurance of a superb display in the departments of furniture and photography, while there is a fair promise that the exhibitors and inventors of agricultural implements will be more numerously represented than ever before. The President is very confident that the Art Gallery will contain a great many paintings, and among them several rare and attractive pictures. Owners of paintings evince a disposition to make the Art Gallery creditable in the highest sense, and the artista likewise express themselves as willing to do all that can be done to make that department of the Fair worthy of San Francisco and the Centennial year. Since the last Carnival workmen have been kept constantly employed cleaning up the building; demolishing the lower galleries and tearing down the partitions. Yesterday a decorator was engaged embellishing some scantling with the Centennial tri-color, and in otherwise preparing to do a formidable amount of work in his line to benignify the interior. It is the intention to construct a row of small arches along the promenade galleries and to deck them out in the colors of all nations. On the panels between main braces will be inserted strips of white muslin bearing the names of battles and heroes of the War of Revolution. The massive machinery of the great engine, manufactured in Fulton Foundry for the Pavilion, will be placed in position within the next few days, and will drive all the machinery exhibited in The train demanding that he should point out the messenger when they came to him. In this way they passed through the entire train, to the terror of the women and children and great fear of the male passengers, many of whom had crouched down under the seats and hid themselves in various ways. Arriving at the rear sleeper Conkling pointed out Bushnell, and the robbers demanded the safe keys of him. Under the circumstances there was nothing to do but to yield, and Bushnell took the keys from the brakeman and handed them to the robbers. One of the latter then stood guard over Bushnell, while the others marched Conkling back to the express car, where they opened the Adams' safe and put the entire contents into a wheat sack they had brought for this purpose. Not being able to open the other safe with the keys they got from Bushnell one of the men went to the engine, got a pick, and with this broke in one panel of the safe, and its contents were also put into the sack. The robbers then took the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway letter-box, broke it open, finding nothing what they wanted they scattered the letters over the floor of the car. They also went to the Adams Express freight car, but found nothing there that seemed to be worthy of their notice. While these acts were being performed the remainder of the robbers were making the night hideous by marching up and down outside the train, yelling like devils, and firing off their pistols. In this way the passengers were completely terrified and not the least show of resistance was made by them. When their work was done they left the scene of their daring exploit and departed in a southerly direction. It is understood that a party of citizens is in pursuit of them, and at last accounts were only ten miles behind them. So far as can be learned the Adams Express Company lose some $4,000, and the United States Company about $12,000. But these amounts may prove to be too small. Reports are in circulation that the loss is much greater than the above. They are based on the supposed fact that this train had four days' express matter from Texas on board. But the express officers here deny this, and say that during the break in the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Road their valuables have been brought from that State by another route. The railroad company started the sheriff of Peltia County, with a posse of men, in pursuit of the robbers. Gen. Bacon Montgomery, of Sedalia, a noted fighter of guerillas of war, has gone in pursuit with a party of picked men, and struck the trail some ten miles south of Otterville. Another party has been sent from Clinton, on the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Road, and still another from Lebanon, on the Atlantic & Pacific Road. The entire country between the points named will be thoroughly scouted, and from the well-known character of the men sent out there is a good prospect that at least some of the miscreants will be captured. All the robbers wore masks while at the train. None of them therefore, were recognized, and so far as is now known no clue to their identity has been obtained. The Hog Bouncer. The above, says the Scientific American, is the name of a simple device invented by the cattle- yard men at West Albany. Modern Women. It is a sad commentary upon our boasted civilization that the women of our times have degenerated in health and physique until they are literally a race of invalids—pale, nervous, feeble and back-achy, with only here and there a few noble exceptions in the persons of the robust, buxom ladies characteristic of the sex in days gone by. By a very large experience, covering a period of years, and embracing the treatment of many thousands of cases of those alliments peculiar to Women, Dr. Pierce, of the World's Dispensary, Buffalo, N.Y., has perfected, by the combination of certain vegetable extracts, a natural specific, which he does not extol as a cure-all, but one which admirably fulfills a singleness of purpose, being a most positive and reliable remedy for those weaknesses and complaints that afflict the women of the present day. This natural specific compound is called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. The following are among those diseases in which this wonderful medicine has worked cures as if by magic and with a certainty never before attained by any medicines: Weak back, nervous and general deprivation, falling and other displacements of internal organs, resulting from debility and lack of strength in natural supports, internal fever, congestion, inflammation and ulceration and very many other chronic diseases incident to women, not proper to mention here, in which, as well as in the cases that have been enumerated, the Favorite Prescription effects cure—the marvel of the world. It will not do harm in any state or condition of the system, and by adopting its use the invalid lady may avoid that severest of ordeals—the consulting of a family physician. Favorite Prescription is sold by dealers in medicines generally. Merit Wins. After a thorough practical test of a little more than two years, the verdict of the people of this coast has been rendered that the Yerba Buena Bitters is the best family medicine in use. In the face of all of the prejudice against "patent medicines," engendered by the sale of the scores and hundreds of worthless nostrums that have been palmed upon the public as valuable remedies, the Yerba Buena Bitters have from the first day of their introduction to the public taken such a hold upon the interests of the people that they have almost become a household necessity wherever they have been used—and they are used in every town, village and hamlet upon this coast. They are not only used in the Eastern States, but their famas has reached other lands, and in India, Australia, South America and in Europe they are being sold. The Best Photographs On the Pacific Coast are now made at the New York Gallery, No. 25 Third street, San Francisco. Prices to suit the times. J. H. PETERS, Proprietor. The Hog Bouncer. The above, says the Scientific American, is the name of a simple device invented by the cattle-yard men at West Albany, New York, to induce hogs to move from the cars in which they are transported into the yard. Pigs, as a rule, are not of accommodating dispositions; and when it comes to prevailing upon a car load of them to move along upon a narrow gangway, the first ones that start upon the plank are apt to decline to proceed further, and so block the egress of the rest. This necessitates an astonishing amount of patience and beating, besides unlimited strong language, and, of course, often delays a cattle train for some time. The new invention for persuading the animal to pass on is the hog bouncer, made by bringing one end of the gangway plank to a firm support; then under the other end two double car springs are placed. A powerful lever and a spring catch complete the device. Before the car door is opened the platform is carried down so as to compress the springs by the lever, and the catch is hooked. The hogs are then allowed to pass along the platform, and so long as they move along properly the plank is undisturbed; but as soon as a crowd congregates and vociferously objects to going further, the catch is sprung, one end of the platform flies about three feet upward, and the result is a shower of living porkers, shot over the heads and upon the soft bodies of the drove. They are seldom injured but vastly astonished; and it is needless to add that the blockade is at once dispelled. Charms of Novelty.—Novelty has charms that our minds can hardly withstand. The most valuable things, if they have for a long while appeared among us, do not make any impression as they are good, but give us a distant taste as they are old. But when the influence of this fantastical humor is over, the same man or things will come to be admired again by a happy return of our good taste. GOLDEN GATE ACADEMY OAKLAND, CAL.
