letter from Florence, which has
since been known to fame as
the "Florentine Mosaic" 1t took
from him the presidency. which he
could have had without the asking. After
ward, when his health WAS restored. he
could have had the republican nomination,
but as he had p%urposely left the field and
had given encouragement to the candidacy
Of others he felt that he could not honor
ably re-enter and claim the prize.
Now, when his star shines with greater
brilliancy than ever, when there is practi
cally no division of sentiment regarding his
nomination next year, when his name and
fame reach out to every nation on earth,
when his popularity is greater than ever
before, he is overcome by his old enemy.
Sickness has again laid his gaunt hand upon
him.
At the Damrosch household, on West Sew
entieth street, where the sick statesman is
confined, his illness is made light of. His
son-in-law and his daughter say the score

SHE PAINTED THE STEPS.


And She Was n lscnl Artist, TOO-A work
inSman's Advice.
At 10 o'clock the other forenoon a woman
appeared on the steps of a house on West
Tenth street with n paint pot in one hand
and a brush in tie other, says M. Qued in
the New York Evening World. Thu ee or
four new boards and Il part of n railing had
been put in last fall without painting. She
had probably spoken TO her husband 400
times about that little job of painting, and
on 399 occasions he had replied:
"tm going right by a paint shop and I'll
stop and send d man up"
On the other one occasion he had probably
growled in answer: Hang it! Give n fell
low time! I'll bring up SO ne paint and run
over it myself"
Those steps were now to be painted. You
could read that fact in the woman's eve a
hundred feet nway. The paint pot CON
tanned some old white lead, which she had
soaked up with water, and the brush could
have been used IA II hammer had there been
any nails to drive.
The board, we're damp with the dew, of
the night previous, but this cut III figure.
She brought out a bottle of sewing ma
hin oil and poured 1t into the key, and
then added Il pinto kerosene from a bottle.
The mixture, as she dipped the brush into
it, seemed to be u combination of stewed
umpkin, crushed strawberry. mangled pie
plant, and slaughtered huckieber,y, 80 far
as color went, and she flew into the house
and brought out what appeated to be n bot
tie of camphor.
When she had stirred this in the general
hue of the paint resembled n brindled dog
chasing "a rabbit through a thicket of nj
ders. tst. ,r
With n cautious look up and down tho
street the woman began to use the brush.
She was delighted to find that it slipped
over the wet boards 81 easily; and the aroma
Of mixed camphor, kerosene, fish oil and
sulphur did not disturb her in the least.
She first used her right hand and then
her left. then the brush in both, and
smoothed tho combination down. After
every swips of the brush, she'd look up and
down, and twice in u few minutes she
lodged in to escape pedestrians who might
be critical.
There were wet spots where the paint
would not take hold, and sho was going
over these for the third or fourth time
