WHITE HOUSE BELLES.
Domestic Episodes in the Presidential Manslon-Tid-Biti of Tittle-Tattle.

New York Mercury. It ia claimed General Garfield, of Ohio, hag been chosen to reside in the "White House for four years from the 4th of March, next. It will, therefore, at the present moment, while thia result is still fresh in the minds of the people be alike time and interestin to rive a condensed sketch of the domestic history of the White House, and to describe tersely and truthfully the inner life, the romance, and to a certain degree, the scandals of the Presidential Mansion. There was no "White House in Washing ton's time, and Mrs. John Adams, its first mistress, did not think much of it. She writes: "The President's house was built to be looked at, not live! in." She further adds: "Speaking of the city of Washington, itself, the people are poor, and as far äs I can judge they live like fishes, eating one another." In this respect, at least, the people of Washington have not changed to this day. The Adams regime at the White House was very peculiar and plain Lemonade and oat cakes comprised the ''reception" lunches, tea was the staple drink, and everything was conducted on a cheap and thrifty scale. A CHANOE CAME over the White House in Jefferson's time. Things were still plain enough, bat Puritanism was banished, and a free-and-easy hospitality took its place. Jefferson was fond of good wine, and of playing the violin. He -opened the White House to philosophers and musicians, but closed it, as much as pos sible, to clergymen. He was constantly visited by editors, artists, and foreigners, their pockets empty of coin, but their heads full of "ideas." Mrs. Jefferson being dead.there was, properly speaking, no mistress of the White House in his time. His daughters were at the Whito House but seldom, so he held no formal "receptions." Mrs. Martua Jefferson Randolph and Mrs. 3Iaria Jefferson Eppes were both of them estimable ladies, and passionately attached to their illustrious father. They always re Sarded their parent as a "true believer," espite his denials, and always insisted that Jefferson was, at heart, a Christian. Martha Jefferson and Theodosia Burr present striking exauiplos of the warm attachment of ci f ted relnrious daughters to "infidel" fath-
z crs. During President Madison's administration the White House was exceedingly lively. Mrs. Madison had been brought up a Quaker, but she gave "dancing parties" at the White House. At one of these parties there was present the lady who had "jilted" the President years ago, and who was presumably by this time "sorry for it." Mrs. Madison had been a widow when the future President married her. and she ruled him completely. It was always a source of sincere regret to Mrs. Madison that, when the British seized on the White House in 1812, the officers found one of her "state dinners" all ready to eat, and sat down and ate it. 'If they had only come after dinner!" she was wont to say. Mrs. Monroe, like Mrs. Madison, was addicted to state dinners. She gave great dinners. She could affrd it, being herself of a wealthy New York family. "The era of good feeling" was emphatically "a good lime generally." IX J01IX O.UINCY adams'timk there was a great scandal. The President was solemnly charged in the papers of his dav with having introduced worldliness and sin into the White House, in the form of a billiard table and, alas! the terrible charge was too true. Charles Francis Adams, the son and Secretary of the President, bought
ana paid iorinis iäuibuuiui UI9UWU 'n allowance, and played on it nightly. Mrs. John Quincy Adams was the hostess of General Lafayette during his visit to this country. It is said that Mr3. Andrew Jackson was killed by the misrepresentations of her husband's enemies, and that she died of a broken heart before her hugband became President. She was a divorced woman when Jackson married her, and this divorce gave rise to a scandal. But Old Hickory himself, though ha loved her tenderlv, 6eems to have sur
vived her loss with tolerable comfort. The White House presented a very peculiar Lnwt under Jackson. It was half a mili
tary camp and half a drinking saloon.
Jackson as President was profuse in hospi-
White Honse, she publicly and loudly called the Precidv-nt 'Andrew." "Old Hickory" gave Ler a look which brought her to her senses, left the room, and did not see or speak to Mrs. Eaton for a week afterward. Martin Van Buren was a great admirer of Mrs Eaton, and endeavored to aid Jackson all. he could in the other's efforts to procure Mrs. Eaton solid recognition. This greatly endeared Van Buren to Jackson, and when Vau Buren was inaugurated he rode with him to the White House. In Martin Van Buren's time there was ANOTH R WHITE HOUSE SCANDAL. One Ogle, a Congressman from Pennsylva
nia, accused
v an
Buren of ''corruption,"
statin 2 that '-the East Room" in the White
House was a "perfect warehouse of luxuries purchased with the people's money." These charges were made the most of at the time, but of course they amounted to absolutely nothing. The mUress of the White House at this time was Mrs. Van Buren, the President's daughter-in-law, a belle of South Ca olina. President Harrison wa? literally killed by office seekers. One day, finding the White House filled with them, the President announced to a friend: 4Since they are all inside, I will remain oulbide." ne did 80, and caught a cold which resulted in his death. This was the first funeral from the White House. P.csident Tyler buried his firbt wife from the White nouse. Two years afterward he brought his second wife to the Presidential mansion. Ther8 was a larger crowd at the latter wedding reception than at the former funeral ceremony. Such is life. Mrs. President Polk was a very clever, social, refined lady, and under her regime the White House was one of the pleasantot places in the land. After her husband's death, the widow Polk received probably even more respect than dating his life the most flattering of all possible compliments. Pit ESI DENT TAYLOR rneant well,' but his internal administration of the .White House was full of errors. He is said "to h.ve committed more mistakes of etiquette than any other President, not excepting Andrew Jackson." He was killed by too much Fourth of July, standing over twelve hours in the hot sun. Mrs. Taylor and her daughter, Betty, the htdies of the White House, performed their tocial duties under compulsion, and never were freely comfortable in the Presidential Mansion, like the President himself. MILLARD FILLMORE made an excellent host. He was ably assisted by his daughter, his wife being an invalid. He was the first President who
ever received his own father at the White House. Mr. Nathaniel Fillmore was over eighty years of age, but he used neither spectacles nor cane A gentleman approached him, and after flattering the old gentleman, said: "And now, Mr. Fillmore, you have been so successful with your son,
tell me how shall I bring up mine?"
"Teach lntn never to flatter anybody,"
said the ld man bluntly. Miss Fillmore
was a school-mate of Harriet Hosmer,
FRANKLIN PIERCE
spent his Presidency horsebackriding. His
wife was always ailing. Like Mrs. Lin
coln in subsequent years, she never recovered from the shock caused by the death of her
favorite son.
Under James Buchanan the White House
became even more "a court." Miss Hal net
Lan-J is eenerally regarded as the best host
ess and the most accomplished woman who ever presided as lady of the White House. The tender attachment which existed between Buchanan and his niece is one of the
most touching tributes to both. Miss Line
though rather boisterous ir I 'aoydenish at
ftu&hout all Eng
land as par excellence "the American
lady" and when, as the first lady in the land, she received the Prince of Wales at the
White House, even British royalty was en
thusiastic in its admiration. The V bite
House will probably never see her like
again. .
Of Mrs. Abraham Lincoln it has justly
been said 'that no word of merited abuse
had ever been extended to the ladies of a
President's family till her time. But, perhaps, of all the ladies who have entered the
hite House as its temporary mistress,
Mrs. Lincoln was really the most unfit for
the position. She was alike, ignorant, am-
bitious and seperstitious. one believed in dreams, fortune-tellers, and clairvoyance;
felt that she was "born to greatness," but
was too indolent to prepare for it, She had inordinate vanity, but little true pride, and was utterly deficient in the knowledge
of human nature. She had been reared and
nursed by a negress, and was full of all that belief in destiny and mystery which
marked the Southern negro, while at the
same time sne was as amowous as me
most aspiring white. Mrs. Lincoln showed
herself
A BUTTERFLY 0? FASHION"
without the grace or elegance of the but
talitv. and had to draw on his private purse terfly. She received publicly at the White
to maintain it. "In lSSG he was compelled
to sell some Tennessee lands for $3,000, and
in 1837 to raise $3 000 on bis cotton crop,
all to sustain his style of living at the White House, though his own personal expenses
were inconsiderable." Cheese was served at the levees, sometimes baked apples or cold
eauaace. There was smoking and drinking
11 around the place. Jackson was very
fond of smoking pipes made of corn-cobs.
He had a great collection of pipes which he considered the? Liost remarkable feature of
the White House
House nearly every night, and the Chevalier vVvkoff was her richt-hand man. But,
although anxious to "shine," Mrs Lincoln
was not at all anxious to "spend," so she pvA un the time-honorad custom of "state
dinners," and substituted for them the
inexpensive and more noisy "receptions.''
Aflpr th Wth nf Mr. Lincoln his widow
remained five weeks in the White House
With all her faults, Mrs. Lincoln was a chaste wife nnd a devoted mother. She never entered the Gue3ts' Koom," wherein

were all either d-uelists, d-runkards, d-rabs, great husband's sake, from the great Ameri-
or desperadoes.' He used to go around can people,
thtk White House in a loner, loose coat, and
affected easv chairs as much as possible. He
used to receive his Cabinet Ministers WITHOUT Aky CEREMONY WHATEVER."
Mrs. Emily Donelson, the wife of Major Donelson. the protege and Secretary of Pres
ident Jackson, was regarded as the mistress
of the White House during the Jackson
regime. At first there was a little feeling on the point manifested between her and Mrs. Andrew Jackson, Jr., wife of the
il.intfnl son of Jackson, but the President
settled this delicate point of precedence in a
rhanu-teristic wav: "You. mv dear Mrs
Jackson, are mistress of the Hermitage,"
(Jackson i country seat in lennessee;, ne said; "and you, my dear Mrs. Donelson, are mistress the of Whi tellouse," and on this basis matters were amicably arranged, and to their credit, be it written, the two ladies never quarreled afterward. Mrs. Donelson was a handsome blonde, and somewhat resembled the portraits of Mary Queen of jScota, ft resemblance of which she was fiaturallv somewhat vain. S'ie was a fine 'dresser and while an accomplished talker wa what is very rare among women, a good listener. As is well known, Jackson -conceived a penchant for Mrs. General Eaton a fondness which caused public scandal, agitated 11 Washington society, And finally produced a disruption of the Cabinet, because the wives of the Cabinet 3Ii'istera would not associate with Mrs. V.Minn.
Mrs. Donelson was shrewd in her treatment of this person. Publicly 6he received
her as Mrs. General Eaton, with all due courtesy; but privately, as a ladv, Mrs. Donelson Ignored her. Jackson endeavored
to prevail upon her to go further than this, but failed, and yielded the point. Mrs. An
drew Jackson, Jr. and her husband, however took such umbrage at the whole affair that ft coolness took place between them and the President on this account. Mrs. General Eaton was of a domineering deposition, and her motto was rule or rtiin. She cerUinly ruled Jackson, and she nearly ruined him as well. Once, however, she went a step too tar. One morning at the
Amoncr the ladies who lived in and
who left the White House with the most general popularity and the most stainless reputations were the female members of President Johnson's household, embracing his invalid wife and two daughters, Mrs. Patterson and the widow Stoner. The White House, somewhat strange to say, was considered a more agreeable place to visit during the stay in it of President Johnson than at any other period, partly because Johnson and his ladies were free from the restraints imposed by official etiquette (which bore so conspicuous a part of the administration of Buchanan's household), or
the would-be fashion and ambition which
were so painfully characteristic of Mrs.
Abraham Lincoln. 1'artiy, aiso, oecaus-j
there were so manv children ana young
neonle about the White House. No Presi-
Kf.f.r had in the Whiie House
so many children as the five grandchildren
of President Johnson. Mr?. Stoner was
generally popular with trades-people, sewing-women and servants. She had the good taste to wear high-necked dresses at public receptions, though she had a luxuriant bust of her own. THE LAST DAYS OK THE JOHNSON REu'lME at the White House were also striking' compared to those under Mrs. Lincoln. There was no accusation against the Johnson lamily of furniture or ornaments being unfairly or secretly removed from the White House. The President and his family refused all expensive presents, and they took nothing away from the White House that had not belonged to them bofore they occupied it. It seems strange, but it is unfortunately true, that a similar statement can not be made in behalf of all the families that have occupied the White House.
Mrs. Patterson, when "off duty," was a simple-living woman, rising early and skim
ming milk and attending to ner dairy in person, and in a calico gown, before breakfast, and making with her own hands the best preserves and tea-cakes in the country. But when "on duty," at public receptions, she could hold her own with any woman.
Mrs. Johnson, the President's wife, was a confirmed invalid, but she must have been made of more than ordinary stuff to have reared two such daughters as Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Sterner. GENERAL GRANT'S CAREER in the White House is still too fresh in the public mind to requite aught but a passing reference. It may not be generally known, however, that General Grant was the youngest man who has occupied the Presidential office. The life at the White House under Grant was two kinds, like the religion of the Egyptian priests esoteric and exoteric one fife for tho world at large to see, the other reserved for the "Washington rings," the "Wall street clique," the "Long Branch set," and, above all, the "Dent family," who were the teal parties who controlled the White Hous9, which would have been dull indeed without the vitality imparted to it by Nellie Grant "Princess Nellie." UNDER MR. HAYES REGIME economy and temperance have been the watch-words, and President Hayes, at the 4th of March next, will leave the White House at least $150,000 richer than he entered it. Such is the domestic history of the mansion of the President. What General Garfield and family will do with it remains to be seen. Old Iljmni. There is something quaint and pathetic about the old hymns our grandfathers and grandmothers sang in their deep bass or high falsetto voices, regardless of time or tune, but with a monotonous chanting melody, that was accompanied by the regular rise and fall of a substantial leather sole, which kept time with the leader's tuning fork. Obi what a great man the precentor ot the choir was in those days, with his queue and his dignity, and how the boys followed and admired him, as if he were a superior being! His knowledge of music was the feeblest of his accomplishments he bawled out the old tunes with a volume of voice that left him flat-chested the rest of the week, but he had "taken lessons" had gone away and come back with a "do-ri-me" that was like another language, and had organized a singing school where the girls ranged down one side and the beys down the other, and tallow candles burned be tween. It was all music there, among the lads and lasses. The tunes were awful'y solemn, and some ot the voiees squeaked, and the most of them made more noi&o than melody; but "Eyes were bright And heart! were light." Ahd there was music of youth and love that
made the ratters of the little scboolnousc
ring. We can hear them. Down through the weary years of manhood and womanhood
and of mature age, tee voices if
'Tli. vlrl tl.-t aunr !,. tlia o-lrl k. n,. I r "
Blend with the "jangle of sweet bells out of
.tune" that ring for us yet in the still mid
nights of retrospect from the winter nights
of long ago. "Dinna ye hear the slogan?"
That's "Old Hundred!' dear, brave old tune, that the old boys and girls are singing the Doxology. "All sing:"
"Praise God, from whom all blessings flow. Praise Him, all cre-a-tu-res aere below, Praise Ulm above, jre heavenly host, Pra i.M Father, Sou and Holy Ghost." now the old deacon would throw his head
back to let outjthe 4mu3ick," and how he
would always ing "critters' and make the boys and girls laugh!
There was old "Coronation ."too, a tune
and a hymn we have never given up It
was sung slower and more solemnly by the
choirs of long ago. Who, that has once
heard it, can ever forget it7 How the boys
and girls started off together on the first two and a half lines
"All hall the, power of Jesus' name Let angels prostrate fall; Bring-forth-the-roy Bring. forth-the-roy Bring forth the royal diadem And crown Him Lord of all." How the bass rung in on that third line
with an undercurrent of treble, and then a great wave of tenor and treble and bass that
lifted them all up on its mighty crest. A new hymn tune was looked upon with suspicion in those days of long metre, short metre and common metre, the days when the minister used to announce from the little pulpit away up under the sounding board, that there would be "a meeting at early candle light in Down's Schoolhouse, Lord willing,' and the old deacons would sit on the front benches and keep(time to their favorite. "Oh-may-my-heart-in-tune-be-found. Like-Da vid's-barp-of-solemn -sound,' A standard verse was this: "Oh, may I in his court! be seen. Like a young cedar fresh and green," It was like some of tho swaying enchantments of plantation songs. The different parts kept the last line running back and forth till one almost felt likejumpingupand dancing, as it bobbed about on the waves of son Ten years ago it used to be sung by the great choir in Mr. Beecher's church at Brooklyn, in the same weird way, and the preacher would close his eyes to listen as it rolled over and about him "L-l-S-ke a young: cedar L-i-1 ke a young cedar L-i-i-ke a young cedar, fresh and green." There is something in the stern ruggodness of the old hymns that gives them vital
ity. There are no ifs and ands about them.
Their makers believed with Dr. Watts: "The moment that we die To hell we sink, or else To Heaven we fly." A funeral was a great "improving occa
sion," and the hymns sung were calculated
to impress a lesson upon those who heard
them.
MlarVI from the tombs a mournful sound, Mine ears attend the cry," Was in constant use: so was one which con
tf ined the lines:
"For while the lamp holdt out to burn, The vilest sinner may return.
The old hymns are not fashionable just
now, but the time will come when they will
all be sung again to the old tunes as some-
thin? sweet and Quaint of long ago. The
old singers are nearly gone, too. 'Pare of the boat had crossed the flood And part are crossing now."
When the age of sentiment has passed a wav with the gospel of gush, and the day
of infidelity and rationalism is over, and the
world grows tired of the cods easily made,
the old hvmns. that have never been
equaled in modern song, will reassert them
selves.

Just then Miss Gluckerson was shown into the parlor, and through the library door old P could hear the usual osculatory peck exchanged, and Miss G exclaim, without even the smallest comma in the whole remark: '0h! you lazy thing been here a perfect age don't look at this hat perfect fright going to have flowers set back and bow changed why weren't you at matinee Harry was there." "Roast turkey and cranberry sauce," rapidly inserted Miss P , accompanying the words with that peculiar preliminary and concluding gurgle with which all women, for some occult reason, invariably adorn their conversation when desirous of being agreeable. ''Going to Mrs. Bladger's party ?' continued Miss Gluckerson, with the serene rattie of a brook over the pebbles. ''Molly Smith is going they tell me she paints pa's promised me a phaeton in the spring saw that hateful Mrs. Guppery on the street büß overskirtand green niching just fancy."

'And, Tilda," thoughtfully remarked Miss Pungleup, after the matter had been extlained, and her father admitted that he had ost by a scratch, "I believe in my heart that if you hadn't thought about Charlie just then I shouldn't have had any new suit this winter." All of which goes to show that there is at least one subject upon which one may hope to secure the temporary attention of the inscrutable female mind.
l'eii;iu Sonnet of Jam I. t'orney Progress. This is one of the fourteen sonnets by this
celebrated author, who possessed among
men the sixth sense. Some have fancied it
dedicated to his lady-love, but it is conceived and expressed in that mystic spirit
which will readiiy persuade us that he had
indeed seen the Eternal. The mind of the reader will readily supply those excellen
cies w"hich the sonnet loses by wearing the
W eßtern garb:
