January 25, 1S61.-Prepsrations are
progressing for grand Union inaugural
bah to be held in this city on the night
of Mr.. Lincoln's Inauguration as Presi-
dent, March 4. 1t is designed to be in
no sense a partisan affair, but one In
which friends of the Union of all Sec
tons and parties may join.
Lieut.. Gen. Winfield Scott will head
the list of managers for the ball and
will be assisted by the veteran Commo-
dore Stewart. Among the others who
are expected to participate in the man
agement are Gen. Wool and other
prominent officers Of the Army and
Navy, Senators Crittenden, Seward,
Douglas and other members of the SEN
ate and distinguished citizens Of each
Of the "a States
A spacious building will be erected
especially for the purpose Of the ball
upon Judiciary Square, adjoining City
Hall. 1t is expected that Mr.. Lincoln
and Mrs. Lincoln will attend the ball.
Ex-President Tyler continued his
conferences with President Buchanan at
the White House today with reference
to the plan initiated by Virginia, his
nome State, in the hope of preserving
lle Union without nOSGlllCleS between
the States. 1t is understood that PreSi-
dent Buchanan agrees with him that
the general Government should refrain
from doing anything at this time that
would preciptate conflict.
The cabinet has Mr.. Tylers Sugges-
tons under consideration and President
Buchanan will probably deal with the
subject in a special message to Con-
greSs In few days. Virginia has pro-
posed that no acts of coercion be at
tempted by the Federal Government
pending the meeting of commissioners
from Northern and Southern States In
washington February 4, at Virginia's
suggestion. Virginia is also asking
South Carolina and Florida to give
these commissioners chance to seek a
solution for the present difficulties be-
fore Selling Feedral property within
their borders.
President Buchanan, after a long and
friendly talk with Ex-President TYLER,
expressed the belief that there will be
no open conflict between the States
during the remainder of his admins
tration and said he would do all in his
power to prevent a collision. Mr.. Tyler
VIII remain in Washington until the
other States commissioners arrive.
The Hon. CasSiuS Clay of Kentucky.
who has been here for some DAYS. is
doing his best to bring about a COM
promise between the Northern States
and the border slaveholding States, in
Guiding his own State and Virginia.

Whether the reader is interested In
fights or not, it must be admitted that
the average man is intrigued by the
sight of two well trained youths pun
melting each other. About 40 years ago
Jack McAuliffe and Jem Carney of
Birmingham, England, fought "a saw
age rounds In a small stable at Wes-
terly, r. I. Like many other American
champions, McAuliffe hailed from for
eign parts, his native heath being Cork,
Ireland, where THE Wearin' of the
Green" was the national anthem.

dozen rounds in which to dispose of a

prefer their ring action in concentrated
doses and-but to return to the story.
How the oldtimer must read EN- and
weep as he considers the purse for
which Carney and McAuliffe battled,
and the stipulations would provoke
noisy laughter from the modern gladi-
ator. The articles called for q night to
finish for side stakes of $4,000, which
were posted at the time Of signing.
Neither man was to be permitted to
bring more than 10 men each to the
ringside, and this was to include news
paper men as we'll. Violation Of this
stipulation would mean the forfeiture
of the erring ones purse. The fighters
were to weigh 1873 pounds eight hours
before the bout.

to evade the police. Through an I'M
suspected source the news had leaked
out, however, and the stable was
damned to the rafterS. At a given sig

what was to be a finish struggle. 1t
was a question which suffered the most
the hands as they struck or the faces
of the fight-frenzied fighters as they
swirled about beneath dim lights over
the ring.
For thirty rounds the battle was
waged evenly and then the marvellous
iron fists of Carney began to strike with
tremendous effect. McAuliffe's digits
were badly swollen and so painful that

Everyday Psychology
What Is the Will
BIZ DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs.

" Adb 40 bnC w IA
The average human being knows, or
thinks he knows, that he has a villa
will all his own. He takes a pride in
it: it's his most treasured possession.
Like Henley in "Invictus," he imagines
that his will makes him the captain"
Of his soul.
This notion of the nature of the will,
while undoubtedly satisfying, is in all
psychological essentials fundamental
mistake. One may even go so far as
to say that there is no will. At all
events, the human mind cannot in any
sense be regarded as a system of parts.
working more or less independently Ct
one another. mean by this staten 1T
that the will Is not a specific thing,
capacity or ability. Lots of people are
stubborn in the face of the veriest of
verities, just to make themselves believe
that they have a will.
The will has been defined as "a wish
plus a sense of attainment" It's a
good definition. 1t means that we are
able to will to do" only those things
that experience has taught it is posi-
bic to do-things possible for us to &C.
compliSh. Experience, then, is the es-
sential thing about any given individ-
ualS will. Ones wishes are merely the
motive forces that set the imagination
on the highway to new and different
accomplishments. In other words. the
will Is ones mental mechanism for en-
visaging. future events.
The central thing about any human
being is his own sense of self. Around
that sense Of self he weaves a picture
Of every other person, every other thing.
every situation that involves persons
and things. These other persons, things
and situations may be real or imaginary,
mostly imaginary.
Upon this principle, your will is moth
ing other than your picture of yourself
about to take place among the shift
ing interplay of other persons and
things. More briefly, your will is your
comparison of your real world with your
imaginary world.

If you are building a new house or
remodeling an old one and have a very
large wall space which you feel may
turn out to be rather awkward when the
room is furnished, here is an idea which

These three recessed spaces, the CEN
ter one sufficiently large to hold a mir
ror approximately SO inches wide and
40 inches high, with bookshelves of the
same height on each side, combine to

Ny Neighbor Says:

Most electric waffle irons re-
quire 10 minutes of heating be-
fore the batter Is added and from
one to two minutes of heating be-
tween the baking of every wafiie.
1t takes about two minutes to
bake wafiie.
Use pipe cleaners to remove
little particles that may accum-
late in gas-stove burners.
Be sure to leave sufficient space
between the walls of the refriger-
ator and the dishes near them
and between the dishes on the
shelves to allow a free circulation
of air. 1t is the continual cir
culation of cold air through an
electric refrigerator especially
that preserves your food.
To preserve leftover pickles or
pimentoes Pot them In q glass

Dressing the Girl of "a or Is

Flapper styles may have become
thing of the past. but the happer re-
mains and the problem of choosing
clothes for her or Of helping her to
choose clothes for herself is still none
too easy. The girl or Il or l5-the
sub-deb or junior miss as she is some
times called--usually has ambitions to
wear clothes that her mother thinks
too old for her. On the other hand,
there are mothers who keep their
daughters in clothes that are entirely
too childish to be appropriate.
We take 1t for granted that the girl
between IL and IL should be awkward.

The bout continued through the
fortieth. flftieth and sixtieth rounds.
The lust of battle began to penetrate
the hides of the onlookers Some one
made wise crack to another and two
spectators went into a clinch. BY the
time the professional performers had
reached the seventy-first round the
small stable was in an uproar.
The battertng knuckles of the Eng
lishman had already floored McAuliffe
for several short counts. So bitter had
the struggle become that both men dis
regarded the rules and fought like
savages. Once more McAuliffe went TO
the floor and, as he fell, his sympa-
thizers cut the ropes and surged into
the ring, hurting fists right and left.
McAuliffe once more picked himself
up and sailed into his antagonist, in
furiated with pain and lost dignity. It
was impossible to continue, however.
