Polls of the Presf de nts.

Here is curiosity. 1t is a case con-
tanning the hair of all the presidents,
from the fine gray lock of George Wash
ing.on down to the semi-blonde one Of
Garfield. This case shows that the
color of mans hair is no sign as to his
presidential success. Jefferson had red
hair and we are told that nc was freckled.
John Adams wore a wig, and his son
John Quincy Adams had the baldest
head which ever rested on the pillows of
the White House. Martin Van Buren,
was also slightly bald, and his badness
came more to the front Of his head than
Cleyelands Van Buren's hair was
beautifully wavy, and he conbed it well,
back from the sido of his face. While
he was president he wore it short, and
it had become quite gray. Some of JEFF
Persons portraits represent him with his
hair banged in front and coming down
over his forehead III tho style of the dude
of to-day.
Every one knows how Jackson's hair
stood no all over lis head as straight
and stiff as The quilts of q pOrcupine, but
all are not aware that he was as gray as
q badger during his presidential term,
and that his hair was as fine as the thin
nest strands of spun silver. John Tyler
was also fine haired, and he was q very
fine looking man. William Henry llar-
rison combed his hair well to the front
Of his ears, and he was gray at the time
he was elected. Frank Pierce had thick,
curly hair, which fell down upon his
forehead, and James Buchanan pit his
gray head well trimmed, cOmhing his
hair so as to show to the full his hi~h,
open brow Polk patterned after jack
son in combing his hair straight back,
with hardly a part, and both Fillmore
and Taylor parted their hair on tho left
side of tho head, while Franklin Pierce
parted his boldly on the right.
President Arthur had dark hair,
which was growing gray when he left
the White House Ho kept it combed
back from his face, and wore it short.
President Lincoln did not pay much at
tention to his hair, and most of his pict-
ures represent it as rather long. 1t was
dark and straight. President Cleve-
lands hair is brown and thin. He wears
it short and combs it up from his fore
head as though he wished to increase
the size of that part Of his face. His
head is bald ut the crown, and the ball
ness is daily increasing. - Cor. Glove

New York Tribunel '
A retired army officer who was on
Gen. Grants personal staff during the
war. speaking the other day of Gen.
Badeaus article in The Century, said:
'Badeau has made one mistake. He
SAYS Gen. Grant was in danger of assas-
sination during the last year of tho
war, while his headquarters We're at City
Point, and that his personal staff formed
q plan to protect him, one of them sitting
up every night as special guard. Now,
there wasn't one of his staff who
wouldn't have guarded Gen. Grant at
the risk of his own life if necessary.
But there was no danger at City
Point. Nobody thought of it there There
never was but one time and place when
we did think the presence of our troops
was not a sufficient protection, or that
he could add to his safety by making
ourselves his personal guard. That was
at Culpepper, before going to the Wider
ness. The rooms of the house We occupied
were so situated that Gen Grants room
was somewhat isolated, and we thought
that in spite Of the guard outside it was
possible for an enemy to get to his room
unobserved We took III the situation
and decided to place sentry before Gen.
Grants door at night, after he had re-
tired This WAS done without saying
ANYTHING to tho general, who himself
had 10 fears, and had thought nothing
about it.
''But he got even with us for keeping
him out of the secret The first morn

Rawlings who finally said he'd go to the
generals room and see what was the
matter Well, Rawlings went up. and
found Gen. Grant all dressed and sitting
quietly in his room.
"'Why, general, breakfast has been
ready some time, said Rawlings.
g Well, replied Gen. Grant, with per-
feet seriousness, "a sentry has been
guarding my door all night, and ] sup

have | done to be placed under arrest in
this wayF
"Of course, Gen. Rawlings appre-
eiated the joke, and when they came
down together they pretended to be as
serious as the general, who, with dry
humor, said: Gentlemen, / am sorry to
have kept you waiting, but sentry has
been pacing before my door all night,
and as | thought | was under arrest |
couldn't come down till released For
an instant there was a queer, puzzled
look on every face, and then we all burst
out laughing. He didn't share our
fears, but let US have our way Every

sentry paced before Gen. Grants door,
