having hard work to keep up as the horse
went flying around, and then he cried out ::

ARTHUR's EVERYDAY LIFE.

Washington Letter in the Chicago Inter ocean,
The President spends most OF his time
when he is not receiving visitors in little
story of the White House, where he has a
writing desk and u few easy chairs. The
room is very small and was originally in
tended as dressing room, being connected
with the chamber he occupies. The Presi-
dents desk stands just before the window,
where he can look across Pennsylvania
avenue into Lafayette Park, and the vista
stretches up that broad avenue known as
the desk are usually many official papers
and basket of fresh flowers is always be-
fore him. At one corner Of the desk is q
slender brass standard, upon which hangs.
like lamp screen, a large white card, with
legend across the top reading, 1.-The Presi-
dents Engagements
And under in large letters u list Of the
DAYS Of the week, with the engagements for
each day noted down. When he makes an
appointment he always records it on this
card, whether it is dinner party or the re-
ception Of delegation of visitors. He is
very puHCtlIiouS aoouI heePlpS LIS ChSaSc
ment5.
Few men work more hours in the day
than the President He rises about 9 80 in
the morning, takes cold bath, shaves
drinks a cup Of coffee, eats an egg or u
piece OF toast and then goes into the OK
ecuive chamber to receive Congression.
al callers or other people who come to
him on tusiness.-By 1880 or o'clock this
ordeal is over, when he reads bis mail, die
tates replies TO letters that require an im-
mediate answer and disposes of whatever
papers may have been left with him by the
callers of the morning, referring them 10 this
department or that, as their contents may
require. Then about = o'clock he takes his
luncheon with the family, and generally a
friend or two who may be invited in.
After luncheon, if he has made appoint
ments, he receives company in the library;
aud if not he retires to the little room in the
corner, where he lights II cigar, writes or
dictates letters, reads documents that re-
duire his attention and performs the official
duties of the day. AT j O'Clock saddle
horse is brought 10 the back door of the
Executive mansion and he starts oil some
times alone and sometimes with company
for long and rapid ride, generally taking
the deserted streets west Il the White
House, through Georgetown into the coun-
try. On cold or disagreeabc days he pre-
fers to walk or uses carriage. Returning
after an hours jaunt he dimes at and then
gives up the evening to social enjoyment, and
at II or II o'clock retres to his little room,
where be works two or three hours before
retiring.
Most of his messages and other state pa
pers have been written after midni9h', and
The light in the northwest windows OF the
White House is often seen burning as late
as 3 or O'Clock in the morning. The
President says he needs only six hours OF
sleep, but generally allows himself seven.
