In recent address OF Senator DOolit-
tie before the grangers of Wisconsin,
that distinguished gentleman, whose
friendship for Ex-President johnson has
survived all pressure and political mis-.
fortune paid the following Yell-merited
compliment to Mrs. Patterson, wife OF
Ex-senator Patterson, who, during her
fathers Presidency, did the hOnOrs Of
the WhitehOuse with such a tact, a grace
and skill that elected frOm 1.-THE peO-
pie" as well IS the diplomatic corps, the
most cordial recognition and generous
commentator. Senator DOolittle said
Whatever may be said ia criticism of
Mr.. Johnson's public cotrse, all parties
agree that the WThitehOuse was nyvef (
more gracefully Kept and presided over
than by his daughter, Mrs. Patterson |
a perfect lady, model of Republican
mistress of the WhitehOuse. Let me {
tell a fact which has never been pub {
lished, but which [ had from the lady's
own lips. Just as she was about to leave, 8
at the end Of MIR. JohnsOn's administra- /
ton, the steward OF the house took an [
inventory, and found that not one arti- i
Gle OF furniture was missing or broken; |
not sheet, towel or napkin was lost, |
and the house was in perfect order from I
top to bottom. She told me another t
fact, which l know the wives and {
daughters OF the farmers of Wisconsin 8
will be glad to hear. When they went I
into the WhitehOuse she purchased two S
excellent cows. From the milk of these
COWS she made sll the butter, used all I
the cream, and made all the ice-cream
used in the Presidents family during {
his term. When she went home she {
shipped these cows to Tennessee. Is it 8
any wonder, ladies, that Mrs. Patterson c
received the first premium on butter at c
their late fair, LAST fall2" l

with his co-labOrers and the business G
