A Profitless Fight.

King Milan was terrible man,
Built on the latest Slavonic plan.
And over the border he rode and he ran.
He savagey said: "Tll take off the head
Of the smart Aleck yonder ard bring him in dead,
And paint all the towns of Bulgaria red"
Prince Aleek arose and put on his clothes,
And filled his eye-teeth and painted his nose
And fred big list of hard words at his foes.
The battle began, and the Servian clan
Rolled up like a leaf the Bulgarian van.
"Ho, this is picnic!" cried King Milan.
Prince Aleck wary and not bit scary;
He blocked up the road with dictionary,
And made the terce Servan plans miscarry.
Then all in the row were mixed Up anyhow,
And Milan at a council of war, said: II VOW
They've got the Bulgarian bulge on us now!'
They fit and they fout with slaughter and rout,
And left the outsiders to wonder and doubt
What one and the other were fighting about.
When, spite of their grit. they both had to quit
And take an account of the fight that was fit,
It happened that neither was bettered bit

black, his teeth very white, and his smile ex

brusque. King Alfonso was fond of riding, OF
hunting, of shooting. of fishing and outdoor
exercises. Skating and Devastating in winter

no more ardent amateur. Next to athletic
sports, the King said to be fond of converse

thirty years ago, with Booth and slept with

An Equestrian Statue OF Grant.

When he is dead, Albert, Gen. Grants old

erected to his memory. That was all arranged
while the General was President. During his
second term he allowed sculptor TO make a
cast of him, mounted upon Cincinnati" He
used TO go down to the stables, have the bride
and saddle put on his favorite horse and off he
would go to sit for the Sculptor. Albert SAYS lie
cannot remember the name of the latter, but he
remembers the circumstances perfectly.
Since an equestrian statue seems TO be the
medium adopted by art and accepted by the
world as the proper one for the perpetuation of
the form and nneaments of great soldiers. and
especially of commanders of armies, it is safe to
assume that one OF General Grant will be erect
ed in Washington sooner or later. But when
the proper time arrives for such a testimonial
it will be found that the preliminary material
referred TO in the paragraph quoted above is no
longer available. The work will have to be
undertaken anew, and carried to COM
pletion from models and studies yet to be
made, albeit the statement of the former coach
man Of Gen. Grant is substantially correct. As
he says the movement was set on foot, and the
work progressed so far that a perfectly accurate
portrait representation of both the rider and his
horse was executed in clay, of heroic size, or
perhaps little larger. The project contem-
plated the erection of the statue on the paved
space In front Of the south portico Of the Treas
birth, residing in Philadelphia, was chosen to
do the work. and considerable money, and pos
sibly all that was needed for the purpose of put
ting the group in bronze was either collected or
pledged.
Just at this time question arose as to the
proprety of erecting statues Of persons still liv-
Ing, and from Its discussion the project received
its quietus for a time, at least. Other complica-
tions OF various sorts followed, and IT soon be-
came evident that the enterprise would be post
poned for some time, at least, and probably be
finally abandoned. Meantime the artist had
removed the model to Philadelphia. 1t re-
manned in his studio there for some time, but
as he changed his quarters occasionally the
mass OF clay soon became a source of both
trouble and expense. Finally one day the
artist, who had perhaps fallen into unfortunate
ways, and seeing no probability of realizing
either fame or fortune from his long and anx-
lous efforts, while in q fit OF rage or despond-
ency, seized a sledge hammer and broke the
model into fragments, and destroyed, as il is
understood, all the studies and sketches that he
had made in reference to the proposed group.
MI. Bailly has since died, so that, as already
fntimated, the whole work, IL ever carried out,
will have to be undertaken and completed
under new auspices and from original studies
and models,
