PRESIDENTS AND HORSES. HOW THE CHIEF MAGISTRATES HAVE REGARDED HORSES. Washington’s White Chargers-Jeffer son’s Inauguration Andrew Jack son’s Race Horses—The Turnouts of Other Presidents—Lincoln’3 Horses, Likewise Grant’s. From the Magazine of American History. Gen. Grant has gone into history as the nian on horseback. Washington’s portraits are largely equestrian, and associated with every period of Jackson’s career are the horses he loved so well. Old citizens of Alexandria say that Wash ington rode the finest horses in Virginia, and that as a boy he broke to the saddle the colts of his neighborhood. It is said that he once rode ten different horses into Alexan dria in a single week, and during his latter years his stables at Mount Vernon were among the best in the country. He visited his horses upon rising in the morning, and always saw that they had their break fast before be took his own. He kept thoroughbred horses, and his estab lishment at Mount Vernon was much like that of a great English lord. He had his pack Of hounds, and before the Revolution he was very fond of fox hunting. He fol lowed the bounds everywhere, and was al ways in at the death. He had a regular hunt ing costume, and his favorite a fiery, long limbed horse which he called “Blueskin,” probably its color, a fine, dark iron gray. His hunting costume was a blue coat, a scarlet waist coat, buckskin breeches, and top boots. He wore a velvet cap, and carried a whip with a long niong. He ridiculed the idea that he could be thrown, and he was wont to say that he required only one good quali fy in a horse, namely, “it must go along.’’ It was his custom at Mount Vernon, prior to tlie Revolution, to hunt three times a week, and the game chased was made up of gray foxes and stags. His last hunt was in 1785, when he killed a stag weighing 146 pounds. George Washington was very kin and to his horses, and displayed a great deal of senti ment in connection with his treatment of some of them. The horse he rode when he received the sword of Cornwallis, on Oct. 19, 1781, was a fine chestnut charger, with white face and legs. Washington took him to Mount Vernon after the war, but never allowed him to do a stroke of work. At Philadelphia, while Washington was President, the executive stables were in charge of a man called “German John," and at another time of Bishop, the old body ser vant of Gen. Braddock. These chief hostlers had a number of negro boys under them, and George Washington Parke Custis says that Washington’s horses were of the kind known as “muslin hdrses.” This name came from the testing of the cleanliness of the horses with a fine handker chief. This was brushed over their coats after they were dressed, and if the slightest spot of dirt came off upon the handkerchief, they were not considered well curried, and the stable bovs were tied up and whipped for thoir negli gence. The President * drove a team of white chargers, “and the grooming of these,” says Custis, “will rather surprise the moderns. The night before the hoi-scs were expected to be ridden they wore entirely covered over with a paste of winch whiting was the principal component part. Then the animals were swathed in body clothes, and left to sleep upon clean straw." In the morning the composition had become hard. It \vm well rubbed in, and the horses were curried and brushed. This process gave to their coats a beautiful, glotsy, and satin like appearance. The noofs were now blacked and polished, tile mouths washed, the teeth picked and cleaned, and, the leopard-skin housings being properly ad justed, the white chargers were lod out for service. Such was the grooming of ancient times.” President Washington's coach, which he used with these horses, was the finest car riage in Philadelphia, and its panels were painted by one of the great painters of that day. One of these panels is preserved in the collection of relics in the National Mu seum at Washington. It is a copper medal lion as big as a dinner plate, and tne inscrip tion connected with it says that the coach was of a cream color, and it had four of these medallions upon it, each of which con tained a painting by Capriana, a famous painter of the times. The body of the ve hicle was in the shape of a hemisphere, and its cream color was ornamented with Cupids supporting festoons, and with garlands of flowers around the panels. Add to the white horses and their splendid trappings this gorgeous coach and equally gorgeous footman and coachman, and you may have some idea of the turnout of our first Presi dent. In addition to this, there was a chariot kept especially for Mrs. Washington, which wan a four-horse affair, with black postil lions in livery. Washington’s stables at Philadelphia con tained ten coach and saddle horses in addi tion to the two white chargers. He had a coachman and two grooms, and the servants who accompanied him in hri rides were white. They wore liveries of white cloth trimmed with scarlet or orange. The white chargers were the horses of state, and one of these was the President’s favorite saddle horse. He was a fine parade horse, a* white as snow and sixteen hands high. His name was Prescott, and the President thought a great deal of him, though he had an annoying habit of dancing about on ap proach of a carriage. It was the custom then for ladies in driving to order their coachman to stop, ami let down the glasses of their coach whenever the President ap proached on horseback, in order that he might pay his compliments. Upon such oc casions Prescott would always dance, and I doubt not AVashington became at times not a little exasperated at him. The other charger was also purely white, with flowing mane and tail. He was an Arabian steed, very high spirited, and so fiery that no one hut AVashington could ride him with comfort. Thomas Jefferson kept the finest, of horses in his stables, and he paid very high prices for some of them. At the time of his in auguration he rode to the capitol on his favorite saddle horse, “Wild Air,” and the generations of patriots since then have de lighted in recounting the Jeffersonian sim plicity with which he jumped from his norsc himself, and, tying him to the fence with his own hands, walked into the oapi tol. The truth, however, is that this act was forced upon him. He had hoped to drive, to his inauguration in a fine turnout, and his ton-in-law. Jack Epjies, had been sent off to buy four couch horses at a price of SI,BOO, but did not return to AVashington in time, thus the President rode on horse back. While Jefferson was President ho took horseback rides every afternoon from 1 un til 8, and he kept up this riding on horse back until three weeks of his death. He was a hold and fearless rider, and delighted in riifing alone. The presence of u servant an noyed him, and he was fond of solitary rides and musing. He kept, while hi the White House, four fiery bay roach horses, but he seldom drove behind them. His rides about AVashington brought him ninny strange adventures. He was often mistaken for some other person than the President, and stories are told of how strangers meet inc him had denounced Jefferson to him, and on al’tenvard calling at the AA r hite House had been covered with confusion at the remembrance of their conversation. John Quincy Adams was entertained by ho ire races, and be used to walk out to the HoUnstead racecourse, two miles from the White House, and back again whenever there was a race to be held. Mrs. Madison drove out to soe the races in a cliariot with four gray horses, and President Jackson not only went to see races , but he delighted in betting on them, and now and tbon ran his own horses. AA'hile he was in the White House a eqlt of his was entered under the name of his private secretary. Maj. Donel- K>n, in a race for a stall.* of $10,900, but it was beaten by Com. Stockton's Langford. Langford had been lame during his training for the race, and the President’s hoi*se was a general favorite. A great crowd of jieople attended the race, and the annual ball of the season was given that night. The walls of the ball-room were found ornamented with u full-length portrait of Andrew Jack son’s horse, so confident had been his friends of winning the race. Jackson s great love for his wife came out in relation to horses. He bought for her, it is said, the finest coach in Tennessee, {laying for it $2,500, and he highly prized this coach in after years. He had" it with him at Washington, and would ride in no other. At one time his hoi'se ran away with it, and it was brought back considerably damaged. Jackson was very angry, and his private secretary heard him say to his black coach man : “Charles, you know why I value that carriage. This is the second time such an accident has happened, and if ever it oc curs again I will send you back to Ten ues see?’ J ust before Jackson left the Presidency he received a present of a carriage made from the timber of the frigate Constitution,which had taken part in the war against Great Britain in 1812, and had bgon dubbed Old Ironsides. During the last Presidential term of Jackson the old vessel went to pieces, and the Democracy of New York city gathered the timbers together and made a handsome carriage from them. It was in this carriage that Gen. Jackson and Presi dent-elect Van Buren rede to the capitol from the White House to Van Buren’s inau guration, and it is said that this old carriage is now in the possession of a storekeeper in a little Georgia village. Martin Van Buren had a fine turnout while he was in the AVhite House. His car riage was of a dark olive hue, with orna ments as bright as burnished gold. He had a footman and coachman in livery, and he rode about in grand style. AVTien Harrison came to Washington to be inaugurated, he walked from tlie depot into the city, and on the day of his inaug uration refused to ride in a fine carriage which, with its" four fiery horses, had been presented to him for this purpose by the Whigs of Baltimore. Gen. Harrison had pronounced ideas of his own as to how the President of the United States should act and speak. He thought that it was more becoming for the President to ride to his inauguration on horseback, as the Roman Emperors used to pass along the Appian AVay. So he refused the carriage, and though the day was cold and windy, he rode both out and back upon a white charger, wearing no overcoat, and carrying his nat in his hand as he did so. He was escorted by the military, but the raw, cold air chilled the marrow of his old bones, and it is the opinion of many that the exposure of that diy had much to do with hastening bis death, which occurred a lew weeks later. President Tyler brought to the AVhite House the customs of his old Virginia home. A greal deal of comment was made on one of his carriages, which was bought at the sale of the effects of Mr. Paulding, the Sec retary of the Navy under Van Buren. It is said that President Tyler asked his Irish coachman what the people would think of his using a second-hand carriage. To which the coachman responded: “And faith, Mr. President, it seems to me a second-hand carriage would not be out of place for you. For you know that some people say that you are only a second-hand President. President Polk kept a good turnout at AVashington. Pie had a carriage of dark olive, highly polished, and with gilt borders around the panels. The cushions of the interior were of rich figured crimson cloth with lace trimmings, and the windows had curtains of blue and red figured stuff. Ho drove four horses, and his equipage was one of the sights. President Each Taylor brought to Wash ington the old horse which he had used in the Mexican war. He was a fine looking horse, as white 03 snow and full of spirit; he pricked up his ears at martial music, and followed the remains of his master to the grave, being led directly behind the funeral car,. which was drawn by eight white horses. During the administration of Pierce the President’s stables were directly below the AVhite House, and they were in'charge of a gray-haired coachman who still lives in Washington, and who delights in talking of the Presidents he has served. “President Pierce,” he says, “was a fine hoi*seback rider, and I can see him now he used to walk down to the stables every morning with his whip in his hand. He would come in and pat the horses and say: ‘AVell, Thomas, villi you saddle my horse for me, please*’ and then he would stroll away to look at the garden, which then lay between the AVhite House and the Treasury, while his horse was being prepared for him. “President Buchanan,” continued the old coachman, “had a magnificent turnout, and one of his sets of harness cost him 8800. It was made as a present for him by a Phila delphian, but it was President Buchanan’s custom not to receive presents, and when the donor brought it to the AVhite House Buchanan asked him what it hod cost to make it. The reply was SBOO. Buchanan at once wrote out a check for the amount, and made the man take it. “President Buchanan drove but. seldom, and he never rode on horseback. His nieoe, Harriet Lane, was the chief one who used the stables. She was fond of the saddle, and I was her groom on such occasions. She would often make up a party of ten girls, and they would canter away from the AVhite House door for ten or twelve miles into the country about AVashington. Presi dent Johnson bought his horses from those which the army sold at the close of the war. AVe was very careful in keeping an account of their expenses, and he paid himself for every cent’s worth of feed they used. He kept eight horses, and one of bis teams was very fine. It consisted of a pair of fiery blacks, with skin like jet,' and eyes which flashed with spirit. “Mrs. Lincoln managed all matters re lating to the household and tlie stables, and engaged und dismissed the servants, and she was not the easiest woman to get along with, either. I was not her coachman,how ever. During Lincoln's administration I acted as coachman for the two private sec retaries, Col- John Hay and Mr. Nicolay. During the administration I often had to drive Mr. Lincoln here and there, and I often took him to the .Soldiers’ Home. He had a troubled look during those days, and talked but little. Mrs. Lincoln kept the poorest horses of any administration I sorvod under.” President Grant’s love for horses has be come proverbial. He had been noted as a horseman long before he came to the AA’hite House, and at the time that ho was elected he had a stock farm near Ht. Louis, where, it is Said, he kept more than 100 horses. Ho drove the best of horses while he was Presi dent, and his favorites occupied a large space in the newspaper litoraturo of the time. Among Gen. Grant’s handsome horses were Cincinnati. Egypt and Jeff Davis. Cincinnati was a good saddle horse, and the President could ride him to any point in the city and leave him standing unhitchod for any length of time. Ho was never frightened at parades or street fights, and Grant was sura that however long he might remain in the, houses of his friemls upon his visits he would find Cincinnati waiting for him when he got through. The horse called Jeff Davis was a kicker, and he had the habit of biting tosucli an ex tent that the stable hands were afraid to go near him. Gen. Grant could, however, han dle him as he desired, and as soon ns he en tered the stable “Jeff Davis” would throw back his ears and move ulxnit restlessly un til the General came up-and patted him. One of Grant’s best horses was known as Butcher Boy, into the possession of which nr came in a eurious way. Grant was riding one day through AVashington, and tried to pass a butcher's wagon jogging along in front of him. The boy driving the horse whipped up, and Gen. Grant arxl he had a lively race. The General was in a light , un pretentious rig, and the Ixiy had no idea that lie was racing with the President. His horse was so good, however, that he kept ahead for a long distance. President Gfant admired the horse during this race, and us the wagon drove to a butcher shop in Wash ington he yuiiiUv noted the place, rihorti* THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JUNE 0. 1887. Rfter this he sent one of his friends around to look at the horse, and buy it if possible. The purchase was made, the money passed, and the butcher’s horse took his place in the AVhite House stables. His name came from the eurious manner in which he was ac quired. Grant visited his stables dailv while he was President, and it was during his admin istration that the present stables of the AVhite House were built. They consist of a low brick structure in the form of the head of a TANARUS, the two ears of which are used ns carriage houses, and the head of which forms the stable proper. The stalls are wide and roomy, and they are kept as clean as a New England kitchen. Grant visited his horses after he was through with the business of the day. He saiv that they had the best kind of feed. and had them regu larly exercised. He did not allow any one to ill-treat them, and when driving always held the reins himself. President Arthur had a number of good horses in his stables, and he seldom drove about AVashington without a coachman in livery. During the latter part of his term his doctors advised him to take horseback rides, and he did this for a time. AA’hon he left the AVhite House his horses were sold. President Cleveland rides out in his oar riage every afternoon. His coachman is Albert Hawkins, a tall, fine-looking colored lyan, who sits as straight as a post, and who is dressed In a livery the color of chamois skin and trimmed with silver buttons. The President’s coach horses are seal brown in color. They have flowing manes and tails, and are about 0 or 7 years of age. The President’s country home is three miles from the White House, and the drive to it is one of the most beautiful about AVnshing ton. Nearly every afternoon the President and his wife drive out toward it, and at other times in the day you may often see Mrs. Cleveland and her lady frieiids dashing along the ecflmtry roads about AVashington, " Frank G. Carpenter. STAR OF BETHLEHEM. Prof. Proctor’s Opinion of the Reap pearance of Cassiopeia’s Afisitor of 1572. From the .Yew York World. Many readei-s may, I think, be interested to learn precisely what astronomers really know and think respecting that famous star which blazed out in Cassiopeia in the year 1572, and whose return to temporary bril liancy is expected by many non-astronomi cal persons and by a few astronomers at about this present time. Ido not propose to discuss the imagined connection between this star and the Star of Bethlemcn, an idea which could only suggest itself to persons ignorant of the astronomy of to-day and also of the astrological notions of past ages. All that astronomers know with certainty about the star called Tycho Brahe's is that it shone forth with great, splendor on the night of Nov. 11, 1572, in a spot (close by the star Kappa of Cassiopeia! indicated with considerable precision by the Danish astronomer, and that it continued visible, though with gradually diminishing lustre, until March. 1574, after having shone for nearly seventeen months. AVe mpy be tolerably certain that it shone out suddenly on the night of Nov. 11, because Tycho Brahe was in the constant habit of studying the aspect of the heavens, with which he was perfectly familiar, and such a star as the so-called new one, shining in a region of the heavens where there are no stars of the first or even of the full second magnitude, could not have escaped his attention for a mo ment had it been shining on Nov. 10 as he saw it on Nov. 11. How far back we must set the real time of the out blaze we cannot tell. Supposing the star about as far away as the first magnitude stars —taking their 'average distance—may be supposed to lie, we may assume that the light of the star in its suddenly perturbed condition had taken not fewer than twenty years to reach our earth. But as a matter of fact, we do not know enough about the distances of even the nearer stars to be able to speak with any confidence on this point; only we may be tolerably certain that the average distance of the hundred nearest stars, or suns, is more than a million times the distance of our own sun, and, as light takes nearly nine minutes in reach ing us from him, it must take fifteen or twenty years, on the average, for light to reach us from one even of those nearest stars. Most probably, however, the star which so amazed Brahe had been affected by the tremendous change which caused its sudden accession of lustre more than a century before his time. In passing, one may note how strangely this thought hears on the fanciful notion that the star seen by the “Wise Men of the East” was that remote orb, set in conflagration a hun dred years or so before the time of the Na tivity, in order that, after traveling several hundreds of millions of millions of miles, it might attract the attention of the magi and guide them on their two hours’ walk from Jerusalem to Bethlehem. AVe have very little to connect the star of Tycho Brahe with those said to have ap peared in the years 945 and 1388, on the strength of which supposed connection the star has been supposed to shine with abnor mal brightness at intervals averaging about 312 year;. Cyprian us Leo vy mis, a Bohe mian astronomer contemporary with Tycho Brahe, asserts that in a manuscript chron icle he found records of the appearance of a star in 945 between the constellations Ceph eus amt Cassiopeia, and of another star which appeared in the same region in 1204. Since the position of Tycho Brahe’s star might, in those old, inexact days, bas e been fairly enough described as between Cepheus and Cassiopeia, though really well within the latter constellation (it is shown close by the lower rail of the Seated Lady’s chair back, at page 106 of my ‘‘Easy Star Lessons”), Lr ovitius suggested that the stars of 945 and 1264 were Jmerely apparitions of the star afterward seen by Tycho Brahe. The astronomers of that time immediately pounced on the opportunity of deriding Leo vitius for mistaking as mi account of q star what reallv related to a comet, pointing out that in 1264 one of the most remarkable comets ever seen mode its appearance. But Tycho Brahe, anxious apparently to estab lish the respectable antiquity of his star, de fended Leovltius ugainst the attacksof Pon tanus and Camerurius, who hail been leaders among those questioning the validity of the statements made by Leovitius. Still it remains the fact that all the evidence astronomers have on rvhich to baste a belief that Tycho Brahe’s star is a periodical variable is the doubtful assertion of a little kpown astrono mer respecting two very questionable state ments, m an otherwise unknown manuscript, about two stars which igobably ureas not stars, but comets, appearing* in a the sky which might possibly have been, but most probably was not, the place where Tycho Brahe’s star appeared, the intervals l n’t wren the throe apparitions (if we dar ingly assume the same orb was teen) belug ,319 years and 808 veals, periods not pre cisely or even approxiidktely equnr With no other evidence available it re quires more courage than ariy astronomer living probably possesses to assort —as some who know nothing of astronomy have as serted—that Tycho Brahe’s star apjiears at intervals of 815 j'ears, and will be next seen iu An , year.
