MIsFIr MARBLE BUST.
An Italian Sculptor Misled by Bogus
Portrait of Mrs. Cleveland
From the Boston Globe.

Portrait Of Mrs. Cleveland
From the Boston Globe
WASHINGTON, March ls.-Weslcy Sisson, A.
NJ. Palmer's lieutenant who is here in charge OF
the authors readings, told good story to-day.
Not long ago he Alexander Salvini. an Italian,
an American lawer and some other gentlemen
were at an Italian restaurant in New York, and
between the maearoni and the cheese the law
yer pulled from his pocket photograph bear
ing the imprint of a Cincinnati photographer
and asked the guests If they recoZnzedit II. None
of them did. "Why surely you must, said the
lawyer 1T Is Mrs Cleveland, - but all of the
gentlemen thought they mad seen Mrs. Cleve-
land picture often enough not TO forget 1t, and
they persisted that 1t was not her, and in no
way resembled her.
"Well,'' said the lawyer there is little
story connected with the photograph. Not
long while ago received letter from an Italian
sculptor who is q celebrated man across the
water, and is not unknown 10 fame on this side,
saying that he had been induced 10 make busC
in marble Of Mrs Cleveland, which he thought
could readily he sold for $500, and asking me 10
ray the custom house charges. In due course
OF time box arrived for me- and paid 500
charges on 1t.
When the box was opened found it to con-
tain beautiful marble bust, the work of which
was most elaborate, even the texture of the
dress showing; but II bore no resemblance to
Mrs. Cleveland / wrote to my friend,
telling him that in packing the box he
must have made a mistake and taken
the wrong bust from the shelf, and asking
him to send on tile right one He wrote back
saying tnat there was no mistake. and that the
onst he had sent was a faithful likeness of the
portrait which had l'een given him. More pus-
lied than ever | wrote to him again telling him
TO send me the photograph and to explain how
be bad got hold Of 1t. In the meanwhile |
showed the bust TO several of my friends but
none of them knew for whom 1t was intended.
In the course of q couple Of weeks came his
letter enclosing the photograph which have
JUST shown you. he said the photograph had
been given him by young American student,
who had told him what a popular idol Mrs.
Cleveland was, and that il he made bust of
her the President wculd doubtless be glad to
buy It, so he had taken the portrait and from it
made the bust
Il had to write sorrowfully to my friend that
bis bust was a misfit. and that did not think
he could make the President believe that it was
intended for Mrs. Cleveland The portrait"
said Mr., Sisson, was that of woman of at
least rs, and looked no more ike Mrs. Cleveland
than did. don't know whether the American
student played practical joke on the sculptor
or whether be wanted to get bust of some
female relative cheap but, IN either event, l
rather think he now wishes he hadn't done it.
am thinking of asking the authors to decide
what shall be done with the bust"

Radeau and the Grants.

Col Fred Grant appears to think more Of
few thousan q dollars than he does of his
famous fathers reputation. The commu-
ncation and letters which he published
day or two ago, in connection with the suit
whicA Gen. Adam Badeau brought 20 re
cover 50, $50 for service on Gen. Grants
memoirs, left the impression that Gen.
Badeau was demanding something to which
he had no right. The statement which
Gen. Badeau makes, however, creates an
entirely different impression. and if what
he says is correct Col. Grant is not entirely
fit TO guard the reputation of his father.
II seems that Col Grant wanted to pay
Gen. Badeau 81 800 for what he did in con-
nection with Grants memoirs, although the
agreement which Gen. Grant made with
Gen. Badeau entitled the latter to the full
amount which he claimed. Mr. Conkling
was the legal adviser of Mrs. Grant, and
when he saw how strong a case Gen. Badeeu
had he advised a compromise Through
him Gen. Badeau was offered 50, 600 for his
claim, which he agreed to accept, but before
the money was paid Col Fred Grant insisted
that Gen. Badeau should sign paper &C
knowledging that ne had not written any
part of the Grant memoirs This Gen. Ba-
deau refused to do. Mr.. Conkling withdrew
from the case and the whole matter found
its way into the newspapers.
From Gen. Badeau's statement his ser
vices were well worth the sum he demands.
de gave to the memoirs their literary finish,
and made some of the suggestions which
render them valuable. Even if his services
had not been MS valuable as he thinks they
were, it would seem as if Col Grant would
rather have paid the bill than to have had
controversy about it in the newspapers
If Gen. Badeau is to be- believed Col
Grant had little scheme of his own for
linking his name to the meme iTs, and be-
coming known to future generations in that
way. When Gen Grant was so i'll, on one
OCCASION that it was thought he would not
be able 10 complete his book, Col. Grant, so
Cen Badeau says, proposed that Badeau
and himself should finish it, and that
Col Grant should appear to the world as
having written the latter part of it, Ger.
Badeau declares that he respectfully de-
clined the proposition, and gave the young
man to understand that he was not disposed
to assist him IN boosting himself into noto-
riety in any such unjustifiable way.
The Grants have wonderful faculty for
getting before the public in an u desirable
light. Gen. Grant was great and generous
soldier, but that which was admirable in
him does not appear to have been inherited
by his sons.

One Flag.


The Board of Aldermen of New York
passed a resolution on March IA, requesting
the Mayor to display the Irish flag over the
City Hall on St. PatricL's day. The Mayor
declined TO comply with the resolution, and
his action at the time was by many unfa-
vornbly criticised.
A day or so ago he sent to the Board
Of Aldermen his reasons for refusing
to comply with its resolution, and very
good reasons they are. He pointed
out that he had no prejudice against
the Irish flag, or any other foreign flag, but
that if on special occasions the flag of one
nation were displayed from the flag staff of
the City Hall, then the same courtesy would
have to be extended TO the representatives
of other nations. He had at different times
he said, refused to permit the British, Ger
man, French and Italian flags to be dis
played from the City Hall, and If he had
grated the request of the Board of Alder
men relative to the Irish flag, he would have
given offense to the peoples of the national
tiles whose request had been refused
But Mayor Hewitt has excellent reasons
for not permitting foreign flags to be dis
played over public buildings Such build
ings represent he sovereignty of the State
and nation, and the flag is the symbol of
that sovereignty. The people of the coun-
try, naturalized as well as native, owe ale
glance to it. They owe no alleg ance to any
other flag, although, if they be from for
eign land, they may love the flag of the land
OF their nativity Il should be the purpose
in this country, therefore, to impress upon
the minds of the people upon all occasions
that the American flag is their iag-the
flag tn t protects them-and the one they
are bound to regard above all others
To permit a foreign flag to hoat
over public building is contrary, says Mr.
Hewitt, to TIE principle of Home Rule, ="
and contrary to public policy, because such
display would tend to keep alive the an
tagonisms which originate in difference of
race and birth. 1t is to the in
terest of the country that these
should be effaced as rapidly as pos
sible In view of the fact that about
40 Ier cent. Of tie population of Naw York
city are Of foreign birth, and more than 40
per cent. arc the offspring of persons
of foreign birth, it is apparent
that nothing should be permitted or encour-
aged that would tend to weaken the admi-
ration for or faith in free institutions, Or
the symbol of them. Doubtless many 6f
those who hastily condemned Mayor Hewitt
for his course with regard to the Irish flag,
have since admitted that 1t was the right
one.

Two Lovers.

Two lovers by a moss grown spring;
They leaned soft cheeks together there,
Mingled the dark and sunny hair,
And heard the wooing thruShes sing.

The bells made happy carolings,
Tle air was soft as tanning wings,
W nile petals on the pathway swept,

Two fates DER a cradle bent;
Two hands above the head were locked
These pressed each other while they rocked;
These watched a life that love had sent.

The red light shone about their knees:
But all the heads by slow degrees

suffering freud of his in Asheville, q lawyer
who had for client man that had been ac-
cused of selling liquor without a license The
prisoner had a decided alcoholic appearance; in
fact his nose might have done service as a
beacon near Cape Hatteras on the darkest
night. The testimony was taken and the case
went on until Mr. Vauce's friend rose to make
his plea.
''I-y our honor" he began, "ll-look at the
