contain too much of spirit of a. rro-

The most casual observer can see at n
glance that these newly fledged politicians
recognize the rights of certain class of
citizens to be ever legislated for; and in
their fourth resolution still smaller
class as being worthy to hold office. If
this is the basis, or platform, of the peo-
pies movement, or more properly speak
ing the Grange platform, they will find
it, to say the least, a very unpopular one.

The Presidents Salary.

NNHE Presidents house, gardens, CON
j. servatories and stables are all fur
nished and kept in perfect order, in all
their details, at the public expense; stew
ards doorkeepers, and band of music for
all public receptions are furnished without
dollars expense to the President. All
the furniture, carpets, beds, tables, to the
mirutest thing which convenience or lux
ury can desire are furnished by the Gov
ernment. Tho whole establishment is also
warmed and lighted throughout; all this
at an expense to the public Treasury of
500, 900 Or $4,000.
But you may ask me What, then, does
the President pay out of his salary?'
lie pays his cooks, the walters upon his
table, the driver of his carriage, and the
servants who wait upon his family and his
guests he pays for what is eaten and
drunk at his table. BY custom, it is ex-
pected Of the President TO give several
State dinners; and in the course Of the
year to entertain each member of Congress,
the Judges Of the courts, the foreign Min
listers, his Cabinet and occasionally dis.
tinguished strangers--in all, probablyIhve
hundred persons. If such dinners should
cost $40 for each person, 5000 would
cover that expense. OF the $1,000 re-
naming $4,000 ought to pay his other
family expenses. That would leave him
$4,000 per annum clear

Tennessee land while Mrs. Polk, that ac-
complished lady, was in the White House
it was never more popular,) saved about
$4,000 of four years salaries-about $1O,-
600 year.
Mr.. Pierce did the same. Mr. Buch-
anan did nearly the same. Mr.. Lincoln,
when elected President was worth about
500, 900; and his estate, upon his death,
was about $40, ,000 1t must be borne in
mind, too, that Mr.. Lincoln received his
salary in greenbacks when they were the
highest.
MIR. johnson saved from his salary, in
three years and a half, 5000 or $50, 600;
and that, too, when greenbacks were still
at discount of twenty-five per cent. And,
it must not be forgotten, none of these
Presidents ever accepted presents. MIR.
johnson refused the present of carriage.
Whatever may be said in criticism of Mr..
Johnson's public course, all parties agree
that the White House was never more
gracefully kept and presided over than by
his daughter, Mrs. Patterson--a perfect
lady and model of Republican mistress
of the White House, Let me tell you a
fact which has never been published, but
which had from the lady's own lips. Just
as she was about to leave, at the end of
Mr.. Johnson's Administration, the steward

order from top to bottom. She told me
another fact, which know the wives and
daughters Of the farmers of the country will
be glad to hear. Whom she went into the
White House she purchased two excellent
COWS. From the milk of these COWS she
made all the butter, used all the cream and
made all the ice-cream used in the Presi-
dents family during the term. When she
went home she shipped these COWS to Ten
nessee. Is it any wonder, ladies, that Mrs.
Patterson received the first premium on
butter at their late fair last fallP

tears in his stern eyes the rugged lines

But John had disappeared. A moment
after he opened the door, and called out in
a stage whisper, "Lord love you, master,
she's coming! In silk fit for an empress,
and with the jewels shining in her hair.
Oh, master"
But this rhapsody was cut short by the
entrance of the lady herself who with her
silken robes trailing on the flooE crossed
the room, and stood by the captains
chair.
Madame" he began, but stopped in
confusion. Was it dream or was it
Josie who stood beside him, her arms
around his neck, her cheek pressed to his,
and, amid sobs and broken exclamations,
told him again and again her joy at this
meeting. 1t was too much. The captains
resentment melted away, dissolved in the
tears which fell upon the face of his
darling, as he pressed her in close en-
brace.
But what does this mean?" he said at
last, when lie had made her sit opposite,
where he could gladden. his eyes with the
sight of her fresh sweet face.
"Where did these come from, Josie ?''
and he touched the glittering jewels that
shone amid her sunny braids.''
"Why, don't you know, fatherP Is it
possible you have not heardP When you
gave your Josie the Wycherly homestead,
you gave the richest of your possessions,
though you, nor none of us, knew it then.
Yes" she continued, not noticing her
fathers questioning look, "the black and
sluggish stream that watered the Wycherly
farm developed a source of wealth richer
than all the placers of California. Our
petroleum wells have enriched us beyond
our widest dreams and to-day Duke and
count our wealth by hundreds of thou
sands. But we do not forget" she added,
with mischievous SMILE "that we owe it
all to you, dear father.'
Perhaps no protestations, couched in the
most eloquent terms, would have shown
the change in Captain Wycherly as did the
simple sentence he uttered in reply

"and thank God for it. ~Henceforth one
roof shall shelter us, and we will never be
parted again until the old man launches
