THE WHITE HOUSE,
What Its Maintenance Costs the Country
in Connection with the President.

Most people believe that the $4,000
a year which the President gets as his
salary is the sum total. This is mis-
take. The estimate of the amount
which Congress is to appropriate this
year lies before us. open at the page
relating to the President We see that
S36,OS4 is asked for him, in addition to
his salary of $4,000, to pay the
salaries of his subordinates and clerks.
His private secretary is paid s.. $50,
his assistant private secretary S2.250,
his stenographer $500. five messen-
gers each 81, POO. a steward, 81, 800, two
door-keepers who each get 81, 200, four
other clerks at good salaries, one tele-
graph operator, two ushers getting
81, 200 and 81, 400, night usher getting
81, 200, a Waterman who gets $500, and
man to take care of fires who receives
1864 wear. In addition to this there
is set down $1,000 for incidental ex-
penses, such as stationery, carpets and
the care of the Presidents stables.
And further on, under another heading,
there is demand for nearly $4,000
more. Of this S12.500 is for repairs
and furnishing the White House. g, 500
for fuel, $1,000 is for the green house,
, and Sl5, 900 is for gas, matches and the
stables. The White House. all told,
costs the country, in connection with
the President, considerably over $685.

JOHN KELLY,
A Curious Letter that He Wrote IN 1852

A Curious Letter that He Wrote IN 1852
just Before His Speech in LowSIIie.
When our tcwnsmau, Mr.. George J.
Mayer, was a resident of Lowyille and
treasurer of the Lewis County Agri-
cultural Society in 1882, he secured a
promise from the late Hon. John Kelly
and Hon. Thomas F. Grady to speak
at the annual fair of the society. Short
" before the date fixed for the fair he
wrote to Mr. Kelly for a few facts in
his history and Mr.. Grady's for publi-
cation in the Lowville papers. In re-
ply ne received the following letter,
marked ''conhdential." and which he
still has in his possession. Mr.. Kelly S
death having removed the injunction OF
secrecy, Mr.. Mayer has consented to
let US publish the letter:
GRAND UNION HOTEL, SARATOGA,
August Is, 1852.
My DEAR SIR: Yours of the 18th is at
myself will leave here or New York on the
18th prox for Lowyille. arriving the same
evening. barring accidents.
Hon Thomas +. Grady was born in New
York, served four years in the State Assem-
bly,, and is at present in the Senate. He is Of
Irish parentage ] consider him one of the
abiest young men of his age In pubic life.
AS speaker he is very superior in argument
and style TO most of his colleagues in the
Senate. He is about twenty-nine years of
age, height five feet seven inches, square
shouldered. and weighs one hundred and sew
enty pounds He has a thorough command
OF his temper. His ANALYSIS of difficult sub
jects is natural.
John Kelly is sixty years of age and was
hnrn in I'm ut %
served two years IN The Board of Aldermen,
four years in Congress six years as sheriff OF
the County of New York. and four years as
citv comptroller. He is five feet nine inches
and half in height and weighs two hundred
and IhirtysX pounds.
have given you GradyS history and my
own, and you will probably laugh at the de-
scriptiOn. but as you requested me in YOUR
letter TO state our pedigreeS | might add that
we are clinker built and coppered and fast
e1ed, sound in wind. and well up on our Pc
deSIrian joints. Grady is good for u long
race, and is well broken to double and single
harness and trotS well under the saddle,
stands without tying and not afraid OF
locomotives or othSr vehicles of doubtful
structure.
For myself am nothing to brag of and
have passed the meridian; too Old for a
speedy gallop and fair for a long race; not
easily scared and very doc lie under trying
and difficult circumstances When the driver
is tvrannical, usually take the bit and kick
clear of traces. Usually halt when there ap-
pears to be a willingness to give and admEls-
ter fair treatment. but will lead by halter only
for short distance. VIII drive with curb

Yours truly. JOHN KELLY.

tary.

Ben Wade and the Restaurant
Man.

Ben Wade, of Ohio, when he was
elected President pro tcmpore of the
Senate, enjoyed the privilege of APP
pointing the keeper of the Senate res
taurant. That establishment, elegantly
fitted up in the basement story of the
Senate wing of the Capitol, brilliantly
lighted and supplied with coal and ice,
WAS enjoyed rent free by the person for
tunate enough to obtain it. 1t was Gus
tomary, however, for him to send a
good lunch every day to the Vice-Presi-
dents room, without charge.
At the commencement of the July
session of 1867, the restaurateur, hear
ing that he was to be superseded by .
caterer from Cincinnati, called on Mr..
Wade and said, obsequiously, II am
the keeper of the Senate restaurant,
Senator ooh, yes.' replied Mr..
Wade, you run the cook shop down
stairs, don't you?' eyes, sir" was
the reply, with % low bow. "Well,"
said Mr.. Wade, "what can 1 do for you,
what do you want?'' II have called to
express my wish, sir, that I can con-
tinue to keep the restaurant, and any
thing you want, sir, you have only to
send page downstairs, and it will be
sent to you quick as flash, without
costing you cent, SIR
just then Mr.. Wade appeared to
recollect something, and looking at the
man directly in the eye, said: "Oh, I
don't want you to feed me; when do I
will pay for what / eat like other peo-
pie. But listen: Complaint has been
made to me that you don't treat the
little pages fairly or kindly. They COM
plain that they can't get anything to eat
except expensive things, for which they
have to pay large price. Now, sir,
just remember that these pages are our
boys and you had better overcharge
Senators, who are able to. pay, then
these little chaps who want to save all
of their wages they can for their moth
ers. You must be civil and kind to
these pages, sir, or I'll have you moved
out Of your cook shop and put in some
one there who will treat the boys well. -
The restaurateur promised that he
would do so, and bowed his way out.
Mr.. Wade made inquiry Of the pages
from time to time, and found that they
were ciyily treated, and that lunches OF
reasonable cost were provided for them.
