NOTABLE AND NOBLE EXCEPTIONS,
among whom perhaps the most con-
spicuous is the granddaughter Of
one of our United States Presidents,
Mrs. Mary E. Wilcox, Andrew Jack
sons adopted sons daughter. She
is the only person living who was
born in the White House, where she
was also baptised. Her christening
was q memorable event to which
both Houses of Congress were in
vited. The baptismal font stood in
the window of the East room, where
Nellie Grant was since married.
President jackson and Vice Presi-
dent Van Buren, were her goliath.
ers. The proclamation Of President
Lincoln that emancipated the slaves
left Mrs. Wilcox, at the close of the
war, o penniless widow with two
children. This lady has suffered
many privations until two years
ago, when after many efforts she re-
ceived a position as translator in the
dead letter division of the Post o.
fee where she serves most accepta-
bly, at a salary of 81 200 year.
Mrs. Charlotte Livingstone, of
the old aristocratic Thorn family in
New York. spent the best days Of
her life in her fathers palace home,
in foreign travel and in the old man
or house of the Livingstone's, on
the Hudson; but we see her to-day,
having been left a widow without
means, a $500 clerk in the Redemp-
ton Bureau of the Treasury. Her
husbands descent was genuine, from
the Chancellor Livingstone, who adj
ministered the oath of Office to the
first President of the United States.
Miss G. E. Morris, another clerk,
first saw the light on what all the
world last year knew as the "Cen-
tennia! Grounds" in Philadelphia.
She is a granddaughter of Robt.
Morris, one of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence, whose
homestead, comprising the grounds
occupied by the Exposition buildings
her father inherited.
Miss Sophie Walker is the daugh-
ter of President Folks Secretary OF
the Treasury. Robt. ]. Walker, who
