Ladies of the White House.
; I %
The Philadelphia Times prints an in
vesting account of the different women
Who have presided at the “White House,”
‘first lady of the land, ” since the days
of President Washington. Says our in-’
formant:
| Washington, it is well known, married
jloog before he became President, or even
General of the Army. He met the lovely
I {Widow Custis at Williamsburg during
lliis service as a member of the Virginia
{Legislature. Mrs. Washington presided
iwrer the Executive household at the seat
of government, first in New York, then
in this city, with a good deal of formali
ty. Their house in this city was one
rented from Robert Morris, on Market
Street, between Fifth and Sixth. It was
here the Friday levees were held, and the
rules were very rigorous.
The first President's wife was born a
{Jones, that of the seeond a Smith—Abi
!gail Smith—so the republic, as far as the
‘domestic head of it was concorncd, was
ushered in with-a certain democratic sim
plicity. John Adams married his wife
When she was twenty, and her father,
who was a clergyman, preached a sermon
on the Sunday after the wedding—so an
historic old chestnut relates—‘from the
text: “John came neither eating bread
nor drinking wine, and ye say he hath a
devil.” During Adams’s term of ofiice,
in 1800, the Government was removed to
Washington. Mrs. Adams was,the first
lady of the White House, but she never
liked it, and lived there altogether but
four months. Her picture, by Gilbert
Stuart, represents her as a cheerful and
not unhandsome-looking woman of fifty,
with cap, and ringlets of curls wreathing
the edge.
Jefferson went into the Whits House a
widower of nineteen years’ standing, and
his diary, lately published by John Bige
lowj shows he understood thoroughly the
domestic economies which were necessary
in He matter of providing for the wants
of the mansion and its hospitalities. His
wife was the widow of Bathurst Skelton,
a Virginia gentleman, and the daughter
of John Wayles of Charles City county,
Virginia. She was said to be a beautiful
woman, and Jefferson to have won her
over other suitors through his musical
voice and ability to play the violin.
Dolly Madison was one of the most
popular of tho White House women, if
we believe tradition, and yet she cer
tainly was not pretty, if Prudhommo’s
engraving fromdhe picture of Herring
is to be accepted, with the queer turban,
profusion of ringlets, large nose, and
positive mouth. There is, however, a
glimpse of a prettily rounded arm and a
classic neck through the lace and drapery
that perhaps may have combined, with
her well-attested tack and vivacity to
have given her the reputation she cer
tainly enjoys among the President’s
wives. She was an F. F. V., Dorothy
Payne, although bom in the Pine Tree
State, and in early life her parents lived
here and Dolly, actaallv joined the So
ciety of Friends in this city, although no
doubt a rising young Quaker lawyer,
one John Todd, whom she afterward
married, had something to do with this.
Todd died aud left her a widow with
one son, so Dolly set her cap for some of
the fine looking yong members of the
Congress then wont to come to Philadel
phia to transact the public businesjs,
and in 1794 married James Madison, one
of the most talented of the l>ody.
Mrs. Monroe was the daughter of a
British army officer named Cartwright,
distant relations of the Philadelphia
Cartwrights, who settled in New York
after the peace of 1783, She was one
of four girls. One of these married Mr.
Heyliger, Grand Chamberlain to the
King of Denmark;- another a Mr. Knox
of New York city, whose only daughter
was the wife of the late Alexander Ham
ilton, son of Alexander Hamilton, the
first Secretary of the Treasury; a third
married Nicholas Gcuverncur of New
York, and the fourth Senator James
Monroe cf Virginia, afterwar 1 President.
The first White House wedd ng was
that of President Monroe's youngest
daughter, who married her cousin,
Samuel L. Gouverneur, in 1820. It took
place in the East Room,and was a Knick
erbocker affair, stylish and high-toned
for the day. A number of brilliant re
cept.ous in Washington were tendered to
the bridal couple, and the cards were out
for a very swell one by Commodore “Es
sex” Porter and wife, when it had to be
given up. owing to the untimely death of
Commodore Decatur, killed by Barron
in a duel. The dea 1 ofiicer had given
the young couple a brilliant party but a
few days before at his own home. An
older daughter of President Madison
married Judge George Hay of Richmond.
jHortensia Hay, a beautiful girl, daugh
ter of this match, was the wife of Lord
.Rogers, of Baltimore, whom old society
people of this city remember. Lady
Rogers died in Paris,aud is buried in l’ere
la Chaise.
Most personi who have read the vol
uminous diarv of the “old man eloquent”
know more or leas of I,ouia Catharine
Adams, hi.‘wife. She was the daughter
lived in London during the Revolution,
where she wa* burn. Charles Ftaucis
Aaama was her third son. She accom
panted her distinguished husband dur
ing much of his diplomatic and officia
journeying abroad, and did honors dur
ing his Executive te-m, and was a womai
of varied accomplishments. A fine paint
ing of her by Lcsl c is in possession of th<
Boston 1 amity, and represents her as i
pretty woman, elegantly robed, a jew
eled tiara in her hair,necklace ornament
and lace shawl, with a handsome gown,
cut far more decollete than Rose Clove
land could possibly approve of. Mrs
Adams died in 1832, and is buried wit!
her husband at Quincy.
General Jackson’s wife died before h<
went into the White House, and, as he
had married before she was formally di
vorced, the iron-heat ted old Democral
was, with her, often the subject of piti
less political calumny. She wa? a plain
woman, but undoubtedly possessed the
undivided affection of the great Presi
dent, who never was so happy as when
praisiDg her memory or defending it
from slander.
Van Buren married a woman who, like
himself, came of Dutch stock, Hannah
Hoes. She died early in their married
life at Albany, and her brilliant husband
never after took another partner. The
wife of Major Van Buren was the lady of
the White House during her father-in
law’s tenure, and ably filled the place.
Ann Symmes was the wife of General
Harrison and was a Jersey girl, born
near Morristown, her father being a Con
tinental army officer. She never entered
the White House, for when the Presi
dent came East in 1841 to be inaugurated
her health was precarious and would not
permit the journey. He died a month
after he became President, while she
lived until February, 1864.
President Tyler’s first wife was Lctitia
Christian, daughter of Robert Christian,
of New Kent fiounty, Virginia. Tyler
was at the time of his marriage a young
law graduate from the office of the cele
brated Edmund Randolph, but his polit
ical prospects were bright, as the son of
Governor John Tyler, and to this honor
the son succeeded, and from thence to
the Presidency. Miss Christian was a
noted Eastern Virginia belle, and when
her husband became President assumed
the White House duties. Her health was
feeble at the time, and she died there in
September, 1842. Elizabeth, third
daughter of President Tyler by this
union, was married in the White House
to a Southern gentleman named Waller.
TJiree grandchildren of this President,
sons of Lightfoot Jones, who married the
eldest daughter, fought in the Confeder
ate army. Ono of them, Robert, re
ceived three wounds at Gettysburg. Mrs.
Robert Tyler, a daughter-in-law of this
President, acted as the White House
mistress after . his wife’s death. She
was a lady of great culture and manner!,
the daughter of the tragedian Cooper.
Her oldest child, Letitia, was born in the
White House.
President Tyler remained a widower,
but a short time, paying the Johnsonian
compliment to his first spouse by soon
selecting another. Miss Juliet Gardiner,
of New York. . She was the daughter of
the wealthy gentleman who owned Gar
diner’s Island, familiar to many naval
people as near the roadstead in east Lopg
Island where the naval practices ;uadron,
with tho Annapolis cadets, spends much
of its summer cruising and exercising.
Although Mr. Tyler was the first Presi
dent—and so far the only one —to marry
in the high office) the ceremony was not
performed in the White House, but i t
the, Church of the Ascension in’ New
Aiork, June, 1844. After the wedding n
grand reception was given in the execu
tive' mansion.
Mrs. Polk, now living at an advanced
age in Nashville, was one of the most
admirable mistresses the White House
has ever had. She was Miss Sarah
Childress, born near Murfreesboro, and
married James K. Polk, then a member
of the Tennessee Legislature, in her nine
teenth year. He went to Congress the
following year, and for fourteen sessious
continued there, being elected speaker in
1836. In 1839 he became governor of
Tennessee, and Mrs. Polk presided with
grace at the State executive mansion, so
that when in '45 they came to the White
House, she proved one of the most agree
able and popular of hostesses. Many
innovations, or rather changes, in old cus
toms of receiving were introduced during
Mrs. Polk’s- residence at the capitoi,
notably the one of dispensing with re
freshments during the levees.
The wife of old Rough and Ready
was a member of the extensive family of
Smiths—Margaret Smith, a Maryland girl
—daughter of a plain farmer of that
State, and their mirrled life for many
years was the presy ono of an army couple
on the fiontier. The first home they had
really was when in 1840 Colonel Taylor
went to tho United States barracks at
Baton Rouge. It was while stationed
here that Jefferson Davis met and wooed
idd Zach's second daughter, much
against the father’s wishes, who disliked
to see his children subjected to the same
wandering existence he • had led his
spouse as an army officer. Lieutenant
Davis was then a handsome young sub
altern, and the seceding element was so
strong in him even at that time that he
ran away with Miss Taylor, who died
shortly after their marr’age aud before the
stern old parent had become reconciled
to the elopement.
Miss Betty Taylor, the youngest daugh
ter, was the mistress of the White House"
during President Taylor’s short incum
bency. She became the wife of Major
Bliss, Taylor’s Adjutant-General iu
Mexico, and was a charming woman,
well known in her youthful days iu this
city, where she went to school. The
wife of the President never received or
went out much in Washington society,
and, like Mrs. Garfield, never liked the
White House or enjoyed the life there.
Millard Fillmore married a New York
school teacher, Miss Abigail Powers, be
fore he became, like Cleveland, a Buffalo
lawyer. She performed all the public
social duties devolving upon her by
reason of her husband’s political emi
nence with great grace and intelligence.
When he became Chief Magistrate she
was not in very good health, and
a few weeks after the clos ■ of
his term, died at Willard’s Hotel, Wash
ington, of an illness probably much
hastened by her attention to the oner
ous requirements of her station. Presi
dent Fillmore survived his wife twenty
one years, dying in 1874 at Buffalo, and
both lie buried, with an only daughter,
in the beautiful Forest Lawn Cemetery
of that city.
Franklin Pierce—pronounced Perse
up iu Boston—was a clussmato of Haw
thorne’s at Bowdoin College. The Pres
ident of the college then, and for many
years, was the Rev. Jesse Appleton.

over the early years of the social regime
of their term.
Many living persons remember tho in
cidents of society life of this period, the
quet, graceful manners of Mrs. Pierce
and the hearty cordiality of the Presi
dent at the levees and state re .options.
Mrs. Pierce died at Andover, Maw.,
during the war, and the ex-Presideat at
Concord in 1869. Both are buried in
the cemetery, not far from the spot
where the embattled farmers fire 1 the
shot heard round the world, in that
! pretty New England town.
James Buchanan was a bachelor, and
everybody recalls the presiding lady of
his stormy career in the White House—
Harriet Lane, his niece—who was well
known in her youth in the society of this
city, Lancaster and Pittsburg. It was
at Bedford Springs she met the young
Baltimorean, Johnston, who married her
at Wheatland in 1866. The White
House never had a more accomplished
domestic and sx-ial head than this young
Pennsylvania girl. It was while she was
hostess that the Prince of Wales visited
the United States and was entertained at
the President’s mansion. Albert Edward
bore away with him, so the story of the
day comes down to us, warm apprecia
tions of the grace and beauty of Miss
Lane.
Of Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of the
Great Emancipator, of Mrs. Johnson,
who was Eliza McArdle, and of Julia
Dent Grant, the wife of the Silent Cap
tain and President who has so lately
passed away, the public of to-day is fa
miliar. Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Grant
both took part in the social duties of
their stations, as did Mrs. Hayes and
Mrs. Garfield—the former Lucy Webb,
daughter of Dr. James B. Webb, of
Chillicothe, Ohio, the latter Lucretia
Randolph, daughter of Zebulon Ran
dolph, of Garrettsville,in the same State.
Lincoln lost a.son, his favorite Tad., in
the White House, Nellie Grant, the Gen
eral’s beloved daughter, was married —a
brilliant wedding—in the same place.
President Arthur assumed the Chief
Magistracy a widower, and, although
rumor was very free with his name dur
ing his term, he did not marry. His de
ceased wife was a daughter of Captain
Herndon of the United States Navy, the
gallant officer who went down on the
Central America. James Buchanan and
Grover Cleveland were the only two
bachelor Pre-idents, and it the latter
marries Miss Folsom this year, it will
leave the Pennsylvania President alone
in the celibate list of Chief Magistrates.
Four Presidents were widowers at their
inauguration—Jefferson, Jackson, Van
Buren, and Arthur. Sixteen were mar
ried when they went into the White
House. One alone, President John
Tyler, married while holding the Execu
tive title.
* To Make Timber Plentiful,
Ben: Perley Poore says in the American
Cultivator: Far better than the imported
twaddle published by some ofoUr arbori
culturists, is the following practical
advice by Professor Lazenby, of Cornell
University. To make timber plentiful,
he says, and to render our - climate more
genial, we must re-clothe all rugged,
broken land and rocky (vests, in fact,
every acre that is not cultivated,or is cul
tivated at a loss, with valuable forest trees.
First—All ravines and steep hillsides,
all land too rocky to bs thoroughly
cleared of stone and plowed, should be
devoted to trees.
Second—Protecting belts of timber
should be planted wherever buildings,
orchards, gardens, etc., are exposed to
cold, sweeping winds.
Third—The banks of streams, ponds,
open ditches, etc., should be so planted
with trees that they will be protected
from abrasion by floods and rapid cur
rents.
Fourth—All public roads should bo
belted by graceful, stately trees.
We should preserve, improve, and ex
tend our existing forests by keeping up a
constant succession of young growing
trees of the host varieties. To do this it
is necessary:
First—To allow no sto-k to run in
woodlots for purpose of forage. This
should be a rule inflexible aud relent
less.
Second--Young growth in forests
should be thinned moderately and judi
ciously. Worthless varieties should be cut
out and the valuable sorts should be
trimmed up so that they will grow tall,
forming trunk rather than branches.
Third—Timber should be .cut with in
telligent reference to future growth. Val
uable trees that you wish to propagate
should be cut in the spring. . Those that'
you wish to exterminate should be cut in
August.
. A Strike of Soldiers.
Dr. Felix L. Oswald says, in the Cin
cinnati Enquirer,th&t the pluckiest strike
on record is certain'y that of a Prussian
infantry company, who some thirty-five
years ago took their lives in their hands
and deliberately suspended their military
functions in the hope of provoking an
investigation that would help them to
get rid of the preposterous tyranny of
their commanding officer. He had har
assed them for years in a way that would
have secured his conviction before a
commission on lunacy, Lut seeing no
other redress, the men agreed on a strike
en masse; and on the next parade day,
at a preconcerted signal, came to au
“order arms,” grimlv disregarding the
Captain's counter orders. The shrieks
and blasphemies of the incensed martinet
failed to shake their apathy, but the
moment a superior officer appeared on
the scepe they obeyed his commands
with cheerful promptitude. Suspecting
the motive of their conduct, the Ma'or
ordered up four additional companies,
which then formed a square around the
mutineers a-.d ma ched them off to
prison. The consequent investigat'on
proved that the Captain was decidedly
' more than half crazy; nevertheless, his
' vi tint* were sentence 1 to penal servitude
for period! varying fr >m five to fifteen
! years. To a man they received the
ve diet with cheers, declaring that, com
pared with tho misery of the last two
; years, a Prussian fortress, under a sane
■ commander, would be a weieome harbor
1 of rt.'uge.

Interesting details About the Word
ing of a Big Wrecking Company
—Expensive Machinery to
Raise Sunken Crafts.
The sinking of the Oregon cause! a
number of correspondents to inquire into
the workings of wrecking companies,
also, the amount of salvage which they
receive for rendering service. A reporter
for the Mail and Exprett called at the
office of the largest wrecking company.
“It is quite an und -rtaking for one to
explain ttye system which marks our
operations,’’said the gentleman in charge.
“However, I am always willing to en
lighten the public through the press.
-Yes, .this occupation is a most intricate
and risky one. It is so intricate, in fact,
that if one labored on it for a full decade
he would not be thoroughly eonveisant
w.th .its working. But few ships are
stranded or sunk under like circum
atances, and, as a consequence, we
are obliged at intervals to originate
many qurious plans in order to make our
endeavors attain a successful termination.
It does not take us long to hit upon these
plans, but when we put them into execu
tion they frequently prove worthless.
The business is risky, not alone for the
reason that those who really do the la
borious portion of the work are in dan
ger of losing their lives, but because we
ourselves toil on the ‘no cure—no pay’
basis. In other words, we undertake
the task of saving some unfortunate
craft on the principal that we are to re
ceive compensation from either the own
ers or underwriters only when we are suc
cessful. If we fail to float the ship, it
is time, labor and money sacrificed,* for
we have to pay the hired men out of our
own pockets. The general public does
not sufficiently appreciate the dangerous
character of the work. That is because
it cannot understand where the many
perils and hardships come in. It believes
that in a case of stranding all that is
necessary is to jettison a p ortion of the
cargo, place a hawser on the imprisoned
vessel and haul her off into deep water.
Let a few of the untutored accompany
one of our relief boats on her next errand
and I think the sight will appall them.
They will see, pehaps, how the craft will
have to battle for days in the surf be
fore she can approach tile st anded
■hip; how all that time the men are
striving to get on board; with what
difficulty they succeed iu laying a hauling
cable and in getting our steam pumps on
her deck, and finally how she has to be
lightened of her cargo and pulled from
her bed of quicksand bit by bit. All
this consumes time; usually weeks, but
occasionally months and years. We
never throw the cargo overboard if there
is the slightest possibility of landing it
in a fair condition. It is to our interest
to perform the work in the best style,
for we receive salvage on that, too.”
“With whom do you contract for
salving a ship?” inquired the reporter.
“We make no contracts. There is no
time for that. The owners or under
writers of the stranded vessel call on us
immediately after they learn of the dis
aster and say: ‘The ship So-and-so is
ashore at Barnegat; go instantly to her
assistance. You know what to do and
we’ll talk of renumeration after you get
her off.’ Well, that’s all we want, and if
there is any chance of floating her wo
do so. While a p'ece of her timber
holds to her keel we strive (o float her.”
“What kind of-gear dp you use?”
“Oh. it would tak! a month to de
scribe ihe outfit. We aie continually
obliged to buy new imp-oved appaiatus.
We have derricks, hydraulic jacks, pon
toons and chain penants capable of lift
ing hundreds of tons, and, in fact,
everything from adiver’srig toamarlin
spike. Our pumps and boilers to the
number of twenty are made of the best
steel, and are improved each year
ing to the defects found. All the boilers
are portable, being used for the most
part on the decks of stranded vessels.
They are regular locomotive boilers. The
pattern is used only by us, tho other
wrecking companies believing in upright
boilers. In hauling ships off we use ma
nila long boat rope cables of from four
teed to twenty-two inches circumference.
What is our gear worth? I don’t know
what it would sell for, but I know it cost
between $600,000 and $700,000.
“What salary do you pay your men?”
“We have a dozen divers who are em
ployed all tho year round. They get
from $lO to S2O a day, according to
ability and rank. Our principal diver is
James Haggerty. Of their work I can
say nothing. It is already too well known
to your readers to permit rehearsal. The
wreckers receive SIOO a month and their
assistants $75. You see we have to pay
these men whether they work or not, for
if we do not other wrecking companies
will gobble them up. They are the best
in the market, and for that reason we
cannot afford to lose them.”
“How do you get the information of
vessels sinking or stranding?”
“We receive it by telegraph in some
cases immediately after the disaster, and
at other times the Maritime Exchange
furnishes us with the information. We
have a private arrangement with the lat
ter association. It is invaluable, for
when the intelligence is sent us by the
exchange we generally get it early enough
to seek and make arrangements with the
parties interested in the stranded' or
sunken craft,”
Origin of a Famous Fugue.
Scarlatti one morning sat dull and in
curable of work, not knowing why he
could find no ideas, when young Hasse.
always full of mischief, came in carrying
a small bundle, out of which only a red
feather was visible. Scarlatti, foreseeing
some nonsense, scolded him, when Hasse
dropped his .bundle, out of which
jumped Scarlatti’s favorite cat having a
wig and a hat with a red feather tied
over his head, which was chased about
by Has!e and nis little dog. Scarlatti
ordered Hasse to be quiet and let him
work, when Haase’s dog got hold of the
wig, which gave way. The cat, in terror,
pounced upon the open piano, running
up and down and heavily pressing on
three During th's operation
Hasse had made his exit, followed by
his valiant dog, carrying off the trophy
with the red feather. When lie returned,
after a few hours, his master held an
open sheet of music in his hand and said:
‘ ‘L’ ho trovato, e la fuga del gatto.”
lie had taken the notes which tho cat
had touched as a theme, aid m ide tho
celebrated fugue on it.— Temple Bar.
