A FRIEHD OF PRESIDENTS.

AN OLD WHIIX HOUSE GARBENER’S KEC0LJ.ECT10N9. t

aodouusriNa in xae soinv.

General Grant and English Sparrows —President Taylor and His tVarHorse, "WBltey — Lincoln’s Kindly Parilaanlam.

P-A.L’SED at the oor* ncr of Sixteenth and B| H streets one day last week to speak to an old gardener engaged in weeding out garlic roots and dandelions from the lawn it front of St. John’s church. He had been gardener at the W h i t e H o u s e for years, and had known mauy of the Presidents. “You see them sparrows?” he said, pointing to the ivy-covered walls of the historic edifice where ten thousand of the saucy interlopers chatter and squabble in a Babel of bird language; “well, they all owes their lives to me/’ Then, encouraged by my expression of interest, he went on: “Yes, sir; wwas when Mr. Grant was President, an’ i was chief gardener. One fine, bright 1 mornin’ 1 was settin’ out some geraniuiua in the front beds, when Mr. Grant sent for mo to Come to the house. i “So I sticks my trowel in the dirt an’ goes j around to the back an’ there stau’a the President out ou the porch in his blue 'p' i white drcEsin’ gown, cn’ his blue slippers j an’ a great big black cicar in his mouth-—I j never seen him ’thout a cigar, even when he i was gettin’ ready for bed—an’ he calls down I to me: ‘Peter,’ he says, ‘come up here.’ i So I goes up on the porch an’ sees there one i o' these big baskets what they carries ohamp.’tgne -water m; but tt didn’t have no champagne in It. 'Twas filled with them pesky sparrera, a-squawkiu’ au’ a-gabbliu’ away like this here Presb’ter’n ’sembly. I thought when I left the old country (England; fifty-five years agone, that I’d a-aeen the last on ’em, an’ now here they was fol-

lerin’ me closerin a ghost. ‘Take ’em out on the lawn an’ let 'em loose, Peter,' says the President G;tANT BESPONSlpLB FOB SPABBOWg. “Well, I’d a-much rnther wrung their necks. ‘Tb<iiq darned things ain’t no sse, Mr. President,’ I says. *They’re worst nor no bird’t all. Whep did they come from

anyway P

•“Somebody in England sent’em over,’ he says, ‘an’ t'-iey wante us to breed ’em her& It’s said they're good company for the other birds, an’ tbey’ll eat the bugsoff’n tbe trees. They breeds powerful fast, too.’ “Of coarse, ’twan’t none e’ my busincas objeeUn' no more. When the President of toese United States says a thing, it gen’lly goes'thout fu’ther commentations; but it did seem a shame to set them wuthless ibiags loose in our nice parks. They ain’t fit to live in America. That’s ^jest the way the Englisli people does, if I do say it myself— an’ a bprn English man, too. When they find a toing that works ^d and worries'em to deato, they ups an' sands it over here to

get in some back lieks on ux

“'Yes, sir,’ I says, ‘they does breed fast, an' that’s toe worst part of it. They’ll fill up tbe hull deru fan' afore they're done with their breedin’. I’ve bad'em aU time

up to the hoosa’—and he got 'em that day . for bis dinner. An’ along in the afternoon, t as I was 8 milkin’ the eows we kept there ' for the use 0’ the White House, I hear .somebody say ‘Peter,’ an' I looked aroun’ and there was Mr. 'laylor a watohiu’ me. 'Yes

sir,’ 1 says, ‘that s me.’

“ ‘Peter,’ he says again, ‘Peter. I think I could driuk a glass o’ buttermilk. Have

yo’ got any o' that?”

*'Ihat's what I have, tir, an’ fil for a President, ton,’ I says, an’ 1 weut in the dairy an’ got him out a pitcher q’ tqe finest bsittermilk ever left a cow. Then I gets him a glass an’ he fills it up twice an’ puts both of ’em right ou top o’ then] encumbers, it struck me then that eucumbeis an’ buttermilk wasn’t a very good team, au’I gUMS tl;ere was somethin’ sorter disagrveiit’ about 'cm, for late in the night they waked me ap to go ftr tb. d. ctor, seyia' that Mr. Toyier

was mighty sick.

“Then for three or four days there was ruanin’ an’ racin’, and doctors an’ poultices, ail’ hot drinks aud the Lord only knows what not; but it wasn’t no use, fo* them two eatables was too raueli for any roan, not exceptin’a President 80 he died. I didn’t see no more of him till he was laid out in the .Parlor in his coffin, an’ then all the gardeners an'servants was brought in to drop little prayers for him. Some of the womenfolks w’os a oryin' an' Bobbin’, an’ the men was right sober an’ glum, for there wasn’t none of ’em but hked Mr. Taylor mightily. An’ there wasn’t no doubt where he went, for if there ever was a gentleman. It was Mr. Taylor. It seems to me if a man’s a real gentleman the Lord won’t hold

him for little sins.

MEMORY OP LINCOLN.

“ft was sad and gloomy after that, but other people came to the White House, an’ then ther^ was plenty to do, for yh* Presidents always wants lots of changes made in things. Hard work ia a mighty good cure for worries, so I kept right on till war days. Then Mr. Liucoln cafae in. Times was very heavy an’ people went around with long faces and talked mostly in whispers. An' there was soldiers an* drums an’ bugles till I got sick o' the sight and sound of ’em. But Mr. Lincoln was so easy an’ quiet, an’ pleasant to us all that we was glad to work for him. I used to make little bokays for his button hole every mornin’ aud every evenin’, for he was very fond of flowers. 1 remember jest as well as it 'twas only yesterday how one mornin’ I was tyin’np. his bakajr—an’ it was a pretty one, too, ffir”—smiling at the rtcolleotion— “a white rosebud an’ a piece of heliotrope an’ a geranium leaf, on’ jest as I got it tied an’ wrapped around with a piece of tin-foil like silver, a messenger oome to me an' he says, •peter’—he spoke sharp and quiok— ‘Peter,’ he says, ‘too President wants to see

you right awav.’

“It seemed kinder odd for the President to send that way, for generally wbep he wanted me he’d say; ‘Tell Peter to come up to the house when be gets a chance,’ only I always went right away. So I wont np, timid like, with the little bokay so fresh an’ sweet an' I went in the room an’ stood with my hand on tbe door knob. 1 didn’t care to go further. ‘Good morniug, Mr. President’ says I, ‘I hope I didn’t keep you waitin',' an’ then I couldn't go no more, for he looked so grave an’ stern that what 1 was a-goin’ to say got stu<to in my throat; an’ I jest stood, toere n-nhokin’ lookin at tiie floor with the bokay in my hand. I kpowed Bometom’ was up sure, 'canse he never was that way, 'cept when he was

riled.

“ T seemed like I waited there an hour, but I guess it wasn’t more’n two or three minutes, an’ all the time I c’d feel his eyes a-staring at me^ an’ lookin' right through me clean to the floor. “Then he says very slow, ‘Peter, I’ve got a complaint against yop,’ ‘I’m very sorry, Mr. President.’ ‘I says, wondering what it could be.’ ‘I hope it ain’t nothing serioax’ ‘Yes,’ he says, ‘it is serious, very serious, indeed, Peter. I hear you a copperhead an’ aspy,’ on’ then be stopped sudTden on’ looked at me harderin ever. NO DBMOOBATS ALLOWED. “‘Copperhead, cdpperhead?’ I says, all mystified; ‘I don’t understan’ that, Mr. President; I don’t know what you mean, sir.

I talked right up to him then. “ ‘Well, Peter, to put it milder,’ he says, 'I bear you’re a Democrat, an’ that you’re a-spyin' for toe Confederacy. Everybody else round here’s Republicans, an* we can’t have no Democrats ia the White Honse. You’ll have to go, Peter. Maybe it ain’t true about youy ^in’ a spy, but you’U have

“I laughed a little bit, for I didn’t care so verrmuch, seein' m how 1 hadn't done nothia’ realiy wrong. ‘I’m sorry about it, Mr. President,' 1 sayx ‘I've been here a long, long time, an’ Pve (fane my work clean, an’ there aiu’t never Men so con- { liaints before. An’ I don't feel no shame or this one, sir, for it ain’t nothin’ against honor tor a mau to have bis own way of thinkln’. even If it is' different from the Presideul.

A Sontbern Uume Use ef the Luxniiee or the Period. INew York cor. St. I.-wlii (liolic-OratocraLl tiorTllEK.V home ia one of too luxuries of the age which is becoming more and ai^ popular among those who have tbe wealth and leisure to leavu these higher latitudes of oars far a raotu genial oiisae during th* long, eold winter montbx These charm iiig abodes are springing up ua sdl of toa notably healthy loealitfas near the Southern Atlantic coast, and nre acquiring au individuality all their own, an architectunl development brought about by the taste aud requirements of their ownerx These winter residents appartnUy oravf sunshine and air mnch more eagerly than do the indigenous dwellers of the soij, who are rather inclined to shut toemselves up more or less in their honses dniing the somewhat changeable season. The most notic...hle features of toese semi-tropical dwellings are the windows, the verandas aud the open fireplacex Tbe windows arc very large and numerous, aad on the lower neor are generally what are ealled French winnows; that is, glass doors opening to tbe floor. In fact, toe more glass in these fresh-air sanitariums toe better. The fire-places are generally broad and low. And are built only for wood, while the veraodM are more like out-door rooms than anything else, being furnished with every appli* auce for comfort. A, typical Soutoerh “porch” in one of these new departures in the way of winter oemfert fa thus described by a member of a merry houM party which was assembled at a large villa in the piney regions of South Caroluia; “A short drive over a somewhat sandto road from the gate, winding through a thick growth of yellow pine, and we suddenly came upon the house, which was situated on a bluff that Commanded a view of tbe whole valley. Mrx our charming hostess, met ns on our arrival, and instead of taking us at onne into the house she conducted us to a large open portico, which filled the entire space under tho bedroom wing of the house. Here all the party were assembled for afternoon tea, and n bright fire blazed fa an open fireplace, a novel feature for a veranda, which I had never seen before. Pine heads of deer and other game of the country ornamented the walls, with bra<fa«ts on which stood large Delft bowls filled, some with lovely creamy Marechal Kiel roses and others with scarlet pomegranatex deliciously scented, yellow jasmine and other sweet-smelling plants that made the air heavy with perfumx Th* floor was covered with skins and rugs and wicker chain; of the most inviting shapes, with brightly tinted qushiouB. ^ Several small tables covered with light literature and half-a-dosen South American hammocks constituted the furniture. Tbe effect of coming directly into such a deligh||ul spot from a smhTi New York house and from ice and snow into perennial summer was simply delhtotml, and we really felt that we were in El Dorado in tbe way of sunshine, at'Ieast, it not in the more material aimeptation of the term.” • CklnAse Widows. tVidows seldom remarry in China and widowhood is esteemed as a condition of the highest respectability. When a widow attains her fiftieth year the government supplies her with a tablet on which her virtues are emblazoned. This fa displayed over toe door of her bouse. No Growl Nroia Brswors. Times are very bard, yet this people managed to invest about $1,000,000,000 for whisky, tobacco aad beer during tks past --
