SOFA Pillows Ouicllx Made.

If one has not much time for fancy work, and
yet covets for her home some Of the pretty knick
knacks that cost so much to buy and so little, in
to make, she must exercise good
deal of ingenuity and be fertile in invention.
One Of these women suggested the idea of max
ing sofa pillow and using for covering one Of
the gay silk handkerchiefs seen in gentlemen's
furnishing stores. A cardinal handkerchief was
chosen which had an owl in one corner; after the
pillow was made and covered with silesia or
some similar material she put the handkerchief
over it and turned the corner which was orna-
mented with the owl back toward the center,
and caught it there with invisible stitches. The
corner Of the pillow which was left without COW
ering had a piece Of black velvet put smoothly
over it; and handsome ribbon bow Of the same
color as the handkerchief was then fastened to
the velvet The pillow was finished on the edge
with a small silk cord of bright gold color, and
the under side was lined with canton eannel. 1t
was pretty, and, in fact very striking looking,
and took but few hours to make.

B0YNT0N CLOSES HIS CASE.
The Evidence for the Defense in the
Refer BOyntOn Controversy.
ANumber of Witnesses Examined with View
to lmpeaching MeSsrs. Garfield and
Elder, Refers Witnesses



WASHINGTON, March 6.-Commenting upon
the proceedings of the Keifer Boynton investi-
cation, tonight, friends of the ex-Speaker re-
gard this as having been an unfortunate day for
him. and he is either much-abused man, and
labors under great disadvantage in this investi,
cation, or he has a poor cause. Most people
here seem to think the latter is the case;
at least he doesn't make good
impression, and is the victim of many
bl1nders Knowing that he had written letter
to the Attorney general recommending Elder,
his impeached witness, for position; that the let
ter file in the Department of Justice, and
could be produced by subpoena duces tecum, and
that when he said he did not know Elder,
and yet had, in fact, stated in his letter to
Brewster that he was well acquainted
with him, he ought to have seen that he
was entrapping himself, and was weaving
web of suspicion about his statements that
would make them appear false, even though
they were true. He contradicted himself sew
eral times. Following up this advantage, the
defense will tomorrow probably call a witness
to prove that Keller hired Elder to testify for
him. &c. altogether, some misfortune has at
tended the eX-Speaker this day.

The suIlivan-Robinson Fight

SAN FRANCISCO, March 6.-Fifteen thousand
people were inside the pavilion this evening to
witness the Sullivan Robinson match Robin
son was knocked down eight times in the first
round, going down at each blow
of Sullivan without receiving punishment.
The second round was an exact repetition of
the first, except that Robinson fell down four
teen times in rapid succession. The third round
was the same maneuvers on the part of
Robinson, who, however, did not succeed
so well in avoiding punishment, getting several
severe blows. In this round claim of foul
vans time keeper, that Robinson fell
without being struck by Sullivan.
The claim was not noticed by the referee. In
the fourth round Robinsons trick of falling
without an exchange of blows was too evident
for the referee to allow it to pass. The round
was unfinished and the match given to Sullivan,
on the foul specified above Robinson escaped
without apparent punishment, though Sullivan
planted several left-hand undercuts in his face
when Robinson was in the act of falling Rob
inson's conduct was severely censured by the
SDectatOrs.
