PRESIDENTS AT DINNER.
The White House Steward Describing the
Table Habits of Hayes. e. rfield
and Arthur

had an interesting chat, writes 4
Washington correspondent, with Mr..
Crump, steward of the White House
under Hayes and Garfield. Said he :
"The position of steward of the White
House, pays $500 year, and it was.
under Hayes, a very nice position. The
steward has the full charge of the White
House. He is responsible for every
thing. He must see about the table.
attend to the catering and keep the
servants and the house in order. When
Hayes and Garfield were at its head
the position was easier than now. on
account of the good hours they kept.
Each of them had his last meal over bv
O'Clock, or little later, and we got
through dish washing by s, SO that the
men could go away. Ofcoursc, refer
to ordinary days when there were no
state dinners Mr.. Arthur has his din
ner between s and O'Clock, and his
friends often sit at the table until Il
and 1 O'Clock. The hours are all
changed now.
"President Garfield WAS very plain in
his diet. He came into the White
House with dyspepsia, and he was doc
toring all the time up until he WAS shot
He ate 10 rich food, and was particular
about his hours. He had breakfast at
$50 in the morning, when he would cat
a good beefSteak and some baked pota-
toes with cream poured over them.
This was 4 favoraite dish of Garficld's.
and it was one which he ate when he
could cat nothing else. 1t is delicious.
and far surpasses baked potatoes and
good batter. Then Garfield was also
fond of little nice bacon fried 10 Il

made up his breakfast. Dinner he ate
at :, p. NJ, and this meal was much the
same as his breakfast. He always had
his beefStcak, and neither he nor Mrs.
Garfield were big eaters. About seven
O'Clock he had tea. and this was Il very
light meal also. There was generally
some one present to dine with the fam
lily, but there was no wine N the White
House during the Garfield administra-
ton"
"rell us something about Hayes"
'Durins the administration of Hayes
there wits wine used at only one din
ner, and that was at the one given to
the Grand Duke Alexis. During their
family meals there was never wine on
the table nor was there any at the state

infamy with pair of tongs. Even I'M
der Louis Philippes who had SO greatly
reduced the standing army of execu-
TONERS, their number still amounted to
252. They were named by ministerial
commission and though they had not,
as before the revolution, the pillory
house to live in, they were not at lib
crty to live where they pleased, and the
courts decided that when man un-
knowingly let his house to an execu-
toner, the agreement was invalid. In
former times the churches, theatres
and all public places were forbidden
to the cxeCutioner. Such is no longer
the case, and in France, as in England,
the post Of eXecutioner never becomes
vacant withoutnumerous candidates ap-
plying for it.
The office was never hereditary in
France though as matter of fact it
remained in the same family, that of
Sansons, for seven generatons-from
1888 to 1877. The last of the Sansons
published his memoirs and those of his
ancestors who had preceded him as
eXeCutlOners.
The diminished repugnance with
which the executioner is now regarded
is not without reasonable basis. The
executioner of former days, instead Of
merely drawing 4 bolt as in England or
pressing a spring as in France, had to
perform the most cruel executions with
his own hand No one in the present
day can read without Indignation the
accounts Of the tortures to which

William the Silent, Ravailac, the assas-

were subjected. 1t was the same man
who had to burn with red-hot irons, to
tear with red hot pinchers, to break
with an iron bar.

dinners. The Hayes family were good
livcrs, and they were also great enter
tainers. During the last three months
of HAYES term there was an average OF
thirty-scvcn at each dinner, and he al
! ways had house full of guests.
1t costs 4 good deal to run the
White House, l can tell you, and Ar
thur will have to haze great many
things sent in by the neighbors if he
carries much Of his salary away. Hayes
had number Of friends, such as Major
Mckinley, of Ohio. and others, who had
a standing invitation to be present al
his family dinner. lie never set the
tables for less than fourteen, and they
were generally full. So you want tc

Crunlp. We'll, his hours were breakfast
at or half-past eight. lunch at I, and
dinner at 6. He was a great lover O
oatmeal and grits, and We always haC

when President Garfield died, in Septem-
Der, 1881, but was abandoned when Mr.
Blaine retired from the State Depart
ment in the following December.
Since his retirement he has taken no
active part in politics and has been er.
gagged i'll literary work, the first volume
of his Twenty Years of Congress" hav-
ing been issued only few weeks ago.
HOME AND PERSONAL CHARACTERISTICS.
Nj. Blainc'S personal magnetism is
probably greater than that of any other
man seen in public life during the past
quarter of IA century. He has a pho
nomenal memory. He remembers cir
cumstances, dates, names and places
readily, and it is this wonderfully avail
able memory that makes him a ready
| speaker and a charming companion. He
has also great quickness and accuracy Of
| Judgment. lie writes as readily and as
! strongly as he speaks, and very rapidly.
Mr.. Blaine is slightly above the average
height and burly in form. His hair is
nearly white and thin on top and his
beard is not heavy. lie has a fair but
not imposing head. Large at the base,
| his percCptive and emotional faculties
overpower those of reason. His figure
is well preserved, he dresses with care
and is Of handsome personnel. He has
made use Of no means to conceal the raw
ages time and anxieties have made on
his hair and wears it close cut, the color
making all the more noticeable his dark
eyes, which glitter and flash with temper
or glow lustrOus and beam forth amably
as the mood is on him.
NJ. Blaine las long been a resident Of
| Washington, where his house has been
the resort FOR bright people of every kind
Of degree. There is nothing of that as
sumption OF aristocratic exclusiveness so
common among public men. His home
is well and even elegantly furnished, but
| it is all made for use and not for mere
| display. 1t is there that he is seen at
his best and his power comes largely
from his faculty of winning the affection
of men by episrammatic speech, his easy
manners and his uniform, unaffected
| good nature. lie knows how to unbend
at all times, without any of those pat
ronizing airs SO common in society with
men who have succeeded. Few men in
either party have left his presence with
out strong and pleasant memories of the
| vigorous character which is now to bear
bitter political campaign and lead the
Republican hosts to victory.

A Ballad.
BT FOLGER McEISSEN.

81 FOLtiER McKISS9T.
With crimson glow the setting sun
Sank meath IA cloud!ess sky
As through Aureua'S drowsy street
Passed sad faced Nellie bye.
One lingering ray of tried light
Still decked TIE weather-vane
When from the dusty village pave
She reached the churclI-ya lane.
The ivy'd spire weirdly grand
A spectral shadow threw
Where pretty pathway flowers
Bent beneath the welcome dew.
Softly from quaint old linden
| Gan the linnet's note TO swell
Sweetly waited from cypress
Came the song Of Phil"mel.
Entrancei the humble herd boy stood
| To catch the warhlers rune
| And watt upon the mellow air
His merry mimicked tune
And blending with the joyous song
Came on the dying breeze
| The busy insect chorus, filled
With murmnrings of peace.
The hallowed graves behind the church,
Sad gaZers on the scene,
Seemed ambient in the dusky light
That hid their ripping green.
Twas here she came with sad, bow, Il bead
| Bowed head and fearful eye:
Glad child, sad maid, :he viii ." pride
| Heart broken Nellie Blye.,,
| The gre 1t cold stones that mark III" Srnt
Where wealthy nnthingS rest
| She swiftly passed in search Of one
AS tranquil as her breast.
| She found it oon-a lonely grave,
More dear than any other
| Its heafStnne bore these t.w sweet words
"Sleep peacefully"-'Ou Mother"
| Down hv it's side the fair child sank
| Without child's common tears,
| And sprnkled Der the little rl"und
| Her unprevented tears.
| With tenderness unknown to earth
She mournel her fearful loss,
| And pla 1e,l one fragrant blossom
| Upon the withered cross
She strove to rise. A strange spell secnr'
| To hold her to the ground;
Her childish form by fever spent,
No strength for action found.
| Content thus by her mothers side
| The sweet one was TO lay,
| And by that Shadowy autumn bier
Seemed like tranSplanted May.
Behind Aurena's tall church spire
| The fair moon shed its light,
And from the dnsky field of Death
| Bore off defeated Night.
Again behind the tall church sprr
The clad sun pierced the gloom,
And from thu duskv field of Death
| Bore off the shame faced Moon.
Aud yet again in Angel form
A light came from the sky
Aud bore from the diiNlly field OF Death
The soul of Nellie Blye.
Twas then the anxious villagers
Came thronging tn he church.
For they had missed the girl, and knew
No other place 10 search.
With pallied faces, blanche" with fear,
Aud lips too cold to speak
They. trembling stood uncertain where
The lost one they should seek.
But while thus sore prrpleXPd they stood
The Sections little rhila
Came rushing in with 'frightr,l look
And accents sad aud wild.
Fl is voice sank low when he spoke he tale
And bowed was his curly heat
When to the listening one he told
That Nellie Blya-was dead
