bull pups, rivaling the famous aggrega-
ton owned by President Grant.
The boat model was presented by ex-
Governor Pinchbeck Of Louisiana and q
delegation, including State Senator De
Mas. 1t is the handiwork of a colored
cabinet maker named Samuel f. Davis
Of New Orleans and is a very creditable
evidence of his skill. It is about feet

White House in a glass case by fou1

G. Cook of Meigs county, o. General
Grosvenor explained that Mr.. Cook was

was not able to guarantee that he was
not an applicant for Office, being an

Secretary Porter feels that the presiden
tial longing for chains is entirely salts

for several years yet without any add
