George Washington ended his term as President in his sixty-fifth year, so too, did Joi n Adams, Th< mas .b ffersmn, James Madison and James Monroe. Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the same day, July 4. 1826, exactly 50years after the Declaration of Independence. One other President, James Monroe died on July 4. His death occurred in 1831. Every President, it is said, with the single exception of Mm. H Harrison, has had blue eyes. BOWER OF THE SUN’S HEAT.
