About hundred feet from the main
building is the ssPresident's Cottage"
where, for the last quarter Of century,
the Presidents of the United States were
accustomed to spend some weeks of the
Summer. It was purchased from Riggs,
the Washington banker, whose country
seat ii was during the administration of
Buchanan, who was the first President to
occupy it. Since that time Lincoln, john
son, Hayes and Arthur have all passed a
part Of the hot season in the beautiful old
mansion. Garfield had made all his ar
rangements to occupy the place for the
Summer, and it had been thoroughly reno
waited for his use, when Guiteau's fatal bull
let laid him low. The house is very old,
having been built about eighty years ago (;
but from its appearance, one would hardly
think so, as it is kept in the best of repair.
1t contains about eighteen rooms, all of
which are quite plainly furnished, and is
surrounded by beautiful grove OF giant
oaks and lindens. Another President viii
hardly again occupy the old mansion, as it
is proposed to use il as an infrmary for the
treatment of those inmates of the Home
who have only slight and noH-eontaglous
diseases. The other buildings Immediately
surrounding these two principal ones are
the residences of the officers beautiful
Gothic cottages built of white marble-the
Secretary's Office. the library building and
the annex building lately erected. The
annex is large brick building with long,
wide piazzas, and contains twenty-four
bedrooms, which are fitted up in the same
style as those in the original building.
Life has, of necessity, always been rather
monotonous at tie Institution, and when
the new building was planned, it was deter
mined to reserve large room for theatrical
purposes. This was neatly fitted up with
o stage and four sets of scenery, and can
comfortably seat sbout 800 persons. A
