CiRAM'S OLD SERVANTS DISOL'STKD.
[Inter-Ocean.]
Washington, August 15.—The
President*!! household row consists of
Mrs. Ilayes, Miss Platt (a niece who
ias for a long time made her home
viih them), Messrs. Webb, Buiihaid,
;md Rutherford Hayes (yourtjjMp'-o
iron 18 to *24 in age), and two lit'lc
children—Fannie, aged 10, and Scott,
7. Almost any morning you can sdu.
a carriage load of the President’s
family driving about town. Some*
times the ladies are shopping; some
times they are making calls; some*
times they go to the Cumjiessional
Library to get books to read during
tlm long summer days at the Sol ders’
Home. Mrs. Hayes generally dresses
in black, quite plainly for this city of
elaborate costumes, and she often
carries a large palm leaf in her hand.
Her carriage is quite handsome, but
the horses is decidedly shabby.
Nothing is quite so distinctive a
mark ot social position ns the turn-out
one goes about in, and President
H: •yes’ horses are criticised
than they otherwise would have been
had not President Grant been so
fastidious in the choice of ids equip*
ages.
No person ever had in Washington
a handsomer turnout than General
Grant used to drive, ne had a pair
of horses which went before bis car
nage that could not be surpassed in
this or any other country. They
cost 83,000, and wore selected by
their owner himself, who has as good
* ire a melancholy expression on his
countenance, to Which, in degree of
blackness, a coal isn’t a circumstance.
He holds the lines carelessly in one
hand, and he doesn’t sit up so erect
and dignified as he used to, but
sprawls aU o'vcrjrthivjsdat like a back
driver. His coat is ball unbuttoned,
his boots are tmpolislicd, andhe dontt
seem to care whether he wears his": |
gloves pi* lint. And it’s ajl on ac
count of those horses*!?ogers bought.
If Albert hadn’t a large family of
pjcaiiiniiics dependent: ou him for
support,* ho wonld’t drive that team
for love or money; but necessity
knows no choice, and lie is holding
on iu hopes the team may die and be
n placi d with a better one. Albert
is seriously suspected of a conspiracy
to lame those horses so that they will
have to be gotten rid of
Jerry, who was Mrs. Grant’s foot
man, is about the handsomest d.'.rkey
that ever rolled his eyes. A mag
nificent figure, over six feet tall,
and broad in proportion, but lithe
and active; a finely shaped head,
well poised ; a moustache and impe
rial that a prince would be proud of,
and finely cut features; face as blaek
more as midnight. But it is not Jerry’s
manly beauty alone that makes him
eminent as a foot man, but his general
accomplishments and perfect mans
ners. When there is business in
hand, people of importance to usher
in or escort out, Jerry blooms in all
grandeur of his magnificence. When
there is a delegation of citizens and
cili/.enesses from the country, who
are su.-peeted of having loose change
concealed about their persons, inspect-

,, .• „ .. . . „ .,-h ln 8 D*° W1um>. Uopse, Jerry rises
an eye lor the fine points of au am- - • ,, ,
, . , r ... with the occasion, aud Lord Chester-
mal as any jockey that ever bandied
a whip. When he left the White
House, President Grant sent them as
a present to George W. Childs, A. M.,
of Philadelphia, and they are now
pointed out as the finest team in
Pennsylvania.
But President Hayes has intro
duced into their stalls pair of horses
that look as if they came from a
country livery stable, as they did.
Mr. Rogers, the President’s private
sccretrry, paid $300 for them in
Alexandria. Now, Mr. Rogers is an
excellent man ; he studied theology,
and he has studied Jaw; he knows
about all that need bhiknown pf phil-
osopliy and art; lie 'can see Tne ftnfe*
points in a legal argument or a doc««
trinal sermon, and can write a letter
as politely as a letter can be written,
but lie has one important weakness,
and that is his ignorance of horse
flesh, lio ought never to have been
trusted to buy a team, 'l he horses
are ill matched and clumsy. They
trot each on his own hook without *
regard to the other. They . have |
both been accustomed to be hitched
on the nigh side, and £very horseman
knows that to hiteh trvo nfgli ftoiTes
together will spoil a team
One of them is a dark-mottled
chestnut, with a white foot; thc.otber
is a bright bay, with a whit6 nose.
Any or.o can see in a moment that
those two horses ought never to be
. harnessed together 'any more than a
blue bonnet 'ought to be worn with
a gieen dress. Besides, they arc
lazy.
President Grant’s old-choachman
and footman, whose faces arc as
well known in Washington as Presi
dent Grant’s own, are retaWd at tfie
White House, but neither of them
take a real active interest in their
business any more. Albert, the
coachman, drives alone, but be looks
like a widower, and 'aiptaj^ff fjt^was
thinking of killing himself. And it
would not be a surprise to persons
who know the facts if both Jerry and
Albert were found some morning
with their throats cut and razors in
their hands.
Before the 4th of March, as they
rode on the box of President Grant’s
carriage, with their long blue coats
and silver buttons as large your hand,
their stovepipe hats and white
gloves, they looked the pgpqgyCIgen
the sun shone on. But since this civ*
il service reform in the carriage lino
was introduced, they hare found bill
that this world is a hollow mockery their work and pi
and filled with saAvdust. :A

On reception days at the White
House for the last eight years, in
swallow-tail and white kid, gloves,
Jerry assisted Mrs. Grant, and was
the most (listbufue feature of the en
tertainment. He knew the face and
name of every person worth know*
iug, and had penetration enough to
see that it pleased the average mem
ber of Congress to hear his name
spoken by kb eloquent an usher
as he entered the White House door.
