in the world to convince him to the con. trary. Herein was the principal cause of the gossip that marked the latter years of his administration.
 If he lost public favor he regained ii swiftly and surely when it was learned that he was going abroad. All over the land the public testified their gratitude and affection. The real greatness O! the man was broug ght out in strong re- lief during his two years absence. The aforetime hauler of wood and tanners clerk became the companion and friend of the princes and rulers of the earth. They vicd with one another in honoring the hero. This homage he accepted with calm dignity, nor in single instance did he fail of proving himself the peer of those with whom he was thus asso- ciated.
 Returning home in 1879, he suffered his name to be used as candidate for president. This revived all the acri. monies that marked his last admins. tration, and his political popularity was decidedly on the wane. Defeated in the convention, he settled in New York city, where, two years later, he entered the banking business on Wall street. A collapse came, two of his partners were sent to the penitentiary and Gran. was left without a dollar. His asso. ciates had swindled him as they had robbed everybody else. Grant had no knowledge of business, could not grasp its details, and, in fact, was as child in all matters relating to money.
 The lost popularity returned with in. creased potency when it was learned that the great chicftain was dying of an incurable malady. This feeling of af. fectionate regard was strengthened when it was learned that he was fight ing off death in order to complete hia memoirs, which he hoped would saw his widow from want. Letters and telegrams poured in on him from al. parts of the land. They cheered his dying hour. He felt that now indeed had the north and the south come to- gether in fraternal union.
 A man of strong common sense in ordinary affairs, an excellent judge of men, military genius of the highest order, Grant frittered away his life until the time of his opportunity. Then he arose suddenly and majestically. Ho was invincible, persistent, magnani- nous, kindhearted and loyal. From obscurity he became @ ruler of men and companion of tha greatest of earth. In his uniqueness he stands out promi. nent and clear. His like, take him all in all, cannot be found elsewhere.

HANDY PIGEON HOLES.
q Valuable Addition to Boudoir, Bedroom

4 Valuable Addition to Boudoir, Bedroom
 or Library.
 The principal materials required will be eight medium-sized cigar boxes. Having removed the lids, carefully strip off all labels, and glue the boxes together one on the top of the other as shown in the sketch. 1 suggest gluing as the neatest and stronges, method of fastening, and feminine fingers are apt to find the management of nails rather difficult. When these preliminories are accomplished, the pigeon holes should be carefully sand- papered all over to remove any rough ness; then, with some stain and var nish combined paint inside and out, ap- plying two or three coats until a good polish is obtaiued. Any stain may be applied, but the dark oak, 1 think. looks the best. The next step is to procure smull bottle of gold paint, and decorate in some conventional pat tern each side of the pigeon holes; if this be beyond your powers, the old fashioned spatter work applied with a soft toothbrush and comb makes eA- cellent ornamentation. For the bene- fit of those who do not know how to do spatter work, l may say that it is done by dipping the toothbrush into the gold paint, and then passing the comb rapidly along it so as to ''spat- ter" the liquid upon the article to be decorated. If nrtistically done. spatter work is extremely pretty. To complete your pigeon holes, thin brass or bam- boo rod should be run across the top. This can be purchased with small brackets for fixing up at very little

Their Six-Round Fight.

Beating by the Watch
full Police.

NEW YORK, March 11.-After a long
absence from the arena Jack McAuliffe
appeared tonight in a six-round bout
with Kid Lavigne at Madison Square
Garden. AT times the lightweight
champion showed some of his old-time
quickness and cleverness, but he was in
no condition to antagonize the kid, "
who had the best of the argument,
McAuliffe's poor condition telling on
him fast, and he was nearly out when
the police stopped the bout.
Owing to the action of the authori-
ties, no referee was appointed, and the
men spared for popular verdict Nc
Auliffe held a warm place in the hearts
of the spectators, because of his previ-
Gus reputation, but there was only one
verdict possible, and that was in La
vignes favor. Nearly 5000 persons
witnessed the bout.
After the contest McAuliffe challenged
Lavigne to finish fight within ten
weeks, and negotiations are pending
Round 1-McAuliffe was the first to
land with the left, and followed it up
with the right on the ribs Lavigne
came back and swung right and left on
McAuliffe's head. The Kid led with
the left, and caught Mac on the ear. A
moment after the Kid got right and left
from Jack. The fighting was very fast,
and McAuliffe showed almost. his old
time science. Lavigne rushed Jack be-

left flush in the face.
Round 2-McAuliffe shot his left into
the Kids face. The Kid followed up.
but was showed back on the ropes The
Kid sent his left on Jacks nose. Jack
tried to rush. and took another left
handler on the face. McAuliffe was
short, and the Kid crossed the right on
the neck, and followed it up on the ribs
A moment after the Kid put his right on
Jacks ribs. The round ended with the
two close to the ropes, doing some fast
and hard in-fighting. Lavigne showed
to good advantage. Jack was evidently
not the McAuliffe of old.
Round 3-Jack led, but the Kid
-ducked and evaded. He swung his left,
but the Kid parried neatly Jack es-
sayed another lead, but the Kid again
ducked. Jack swung a hard left on the
ear which Strengthened the Kid for
second. Jack seemed to be firing lit
tie.
Round 4-McAuliffe rushed at his man
and put the left lightly on the face. He
then swung right and left lightly on the
Kids face. Lavigne rushed in, and
Jack caught him and swung the left on
the jaw. Jack broke away from La
vigne's leads. So far it was Lavigne's
fight.
Round 5-Jack led with his left, but
was short The Kid followed Jack into
his corner and landed a left swing on
the face They clinched, and after
breaking away the Kid put both hands
hard on the body. McAuliffe broke
ground, and the Kid went after him and
planted his left straight in the face.
Round 6-They started at a hot pace.
Lavigne rushed, and Jack swung hard
right on the ribs. They indulged in
some mitigating. Both were trying to
force the fighting. 5acK led, and the
Kid jabbed him in the face and body,
McAuliffe receiving some hard punches
from the Kid.
Both were fighting very cautiously
when the police stopped the fight.
