ABIGAIL POWERS FILLMORE

Abigail Powers Fillmore, who sue
ceeded Mrs. Taylor in the White House,
was the daughter of a clergym mau, and as
her mother was early left idow, the
daushte took her education into her
own hands. She became a successful
teacher, and continued that occupation
until her twenty eighth year. when she
married Mr.. Fillmore, then struggling
young lawyer. She taught for some
time after her marriage, kept her house,
aud did her work. She had strong and
we'll balanced mind, great sweetness of
disposition, and much sociability. She
was tall and of fine figure, with fair
face and luxuriant curls, about a noble
head. Being in mourning when she en-
tered the White House, aud having been
badly famed. Mrs. Fillmore allowed its
duties to devolve as much as possible
upon her young daughter, and presented
herself below stairs only when it was

JULIA TYLER

the first Mrs. Tyler entered the White
House only to die there. She was but
once seen offering hospitalities, and that
on the occasion of her daughters we'd
ding The lady of the White House in
the public eye then, and for some time
afterwards, was Mrs. Tyer's daughter
in, law, the lovely little Mrs. Robert
Tyler, who was herself the daughter of
the great tragedian-Co Cooper-and the
cousin OF Mrs. Percy Bysshe Shelley,
while one of her grandfathers had been
an American officer in the Revolution.
In the latter part of his term President
TYLER married Miss Julia Gardiner, the
daughter of wealthy New York gentle
man. She had just returned from a Eu
ropean trip with her father, when she
met the President, who was struck with
her charms 1t is said to have been at
the time of the bursting of the great gun
of the frgate Princeton that the Presi-
dent, who was with her at the fatal mo-
ment, surrendered his heart entirely to
the beautiful girl, whose suddenly bereft
condition appealed to all. Six months
afterwards he quietly went over to New
York, aud the salutes from the vessels in
the barbor were the first public intima
tion of his presence there, as he sailed
ont of the bay with his young bride.
Mrs. Julia Tyler's career in the White
House was but eight months in duration,
but it was quite brilliant one.
The Cecil Whig., 1886-06-12

Mrs. Polk was succeeded in the White
House by yet another Southern woman.
Margaret Taylor entered the place reluc-
family, as some other woman might entt r
prison. She had been look ing forward,
after long years of turmoil and tossing,
to peaceful declining life with her hus
bani; and she declared that his election
to the Presidency was "a plot to deprive
her of his society and shorten his life.
With his own elevate went all her
bright dreams OF trar guilty. She sur
rendered to her daughter, Mrs. Major
Bliss, the superintendent and direction
of the State ceremonies, dinners, and re-
ceptionS.

ters, Mrs Martha Patterson, the wife of
a Senator from Tennessee, and Mrs. Sto-
yer, the widow of one of the heroes of
the war. 1t was a great undertaking
merely to set the building in order. tor
it was in a fearful condition during the
period of confusion following Mr.. Lin
coins death.

ELIZA M'CARDLE JOHNSON.

In complete contrast with Mis-. Lin
coin was Mrs. johnson. the next occn-
pant of the White House. f iza Me
Cardle, in her eighteenth year, was mar
ried to the young Johnson the apprentice,
when he was not yet twenty one. Full
of ambition to rise to Il loftier life, he
had painfully taught himself to- read in
his workshop, but it was his wife who
taught him to write, to whom he recited
his lessons, and who pursued his studit $
with him evening after evening, until
his learning had at last outstripped her
own. After Mrs. Johnson entered the
White House, her health made it abs
lutely impossible Tor her to perform its
duties: she was seen downstairs but once,
and that on the occasion of a party given
by the children of the White House to
otner children.

SARAH CHILDRESS POLK.

Mrs Sarah Childress Polk as the wife
of man who had already held impor-
tant official positions, knew how to bear
herself perfectly in high station. She
early became member of the Presbyte-
rian Church, the stlictness of whose re-
ligious observances she carried into much
of her social life. 1t was Mrs. Polk who
banished from the White House recep
tions the dancing that had probably crept
in there in MIS-. Madison's day. she also
abolished the habit of offering refresh
ments at the Presidential receptions
Throughout all the rancOrs of The polit-
cal campaign in which her husband was
engaged, Mrs. Polk bore herself with
such a calm grace and wisdom as to dis
arm any criticism. She was of com
manding appearance, and of Spanish
type OF countenance, with jet black hair
and eyes, a d rich olive skin. Her dress
was always superb, and her presence was
regal.

NJ RS. HARRISON.

With Mrs. Harrison the spell would
have been broken, but she was another
of the Presidents wives who never occu-
pied the White House. She was not
young woman at the tine of her hus-
bands Inauguration, in 1871 having been
born in 1175 in New Jersey. Her maiden
name was Anna Symmes; she married
at twenty, and is said to have had many
personal charms. When gnite old, traces
of beauty were still to be seen in the
finely -chiselled features and dark eyes.
Mrs Harrison would doubtless have ad
ministered the hosptaiities of the White
House to perfection if, while preparing
to attend her husband, she had not re-
ceived the dreadful intelligence of his
death.

ANGELICA VAN BUREN.

The next lady of the White House was
again the daughter in law, not the wife,
of the President, for Hannah Hoes, the
wife of Martin Van Buren,, had died
nearly twenty years before he was called
to the Presidency. after only thirty five
years of fortunate and perfect life.
The houors of the White House were
then rendered in the most pleasant fash
ion by the bride of her son, Angelica
Singleton, young and dark-eyed South
Carolinian of distinguished family and
connections, and fine education. Serene
and sunny years, like those of Mrs
Abram Van Blren, give but slight events
to the chronicler, but everything in their
course tended to her qualification. Until
the close of Mr.. Van Buren's tenure OF
the White House the society OF Wash
ington had been almost exclusively un
der Southern Influence, and the ladies o;
the White House, with the single excep
tion of the first Mis-. Adams, were OF
Southern origin.

MRS. PIERCE DISLIKCD POLITICS.

Mrs. Pierce entered the White House
i'll mourning. Naturally pensive, the
death OF her last child wrapped her in a
profound melancholy. Her maiden name
was Jane Means Appleton; she was the
daughter of a clergyman of distinction
who became, i'll her infancy, the Plesi-
dent OF Bowdoin College. Mrs Pierce
was a woman of much more than com
mon powers of mind, of SUPERIOR iudg
ment in spite of her dreamy aud poetic
tendencies, and of wide reading and OBJ
servation. She dsliked politics, and
when her husband came into her pres
ence it was to fiul rest and leave behind
him all the storms and excitements of
mis- public life.

Mrs. Mary Todd Lincoln, who began
her career in the White House with the
Civil War, was of Southern birth and ed
ucation, and made the acquaintance of
her husband while visiting sister mar
ried in Illinois. Here, at the age of
twenty one, she became the wife of
Abraham Lincoln, then young and ris-
ing lawyer. Five years after their mar
riage Mr.. Lincoln was elected to Con-

HARRIET LANE,

Harriet Lane, the niece of James Buch-
anan, was a Pennsylvania by birth, and
was educated with great care. She was
the pOssessor, also, of an uncommon type
of beauty. Tall and commanding, with
a perfectly moulded form, faultless
head, finely poised and crowned with
mass of golden brown hair, with large,
dark blue eyes, finely cut features, the
mouth particularly lovely, and skin of
milk and roses, her beauty and her hap
piness took all hearts by storm. Her
movements were full of majestic grace,
and her high spirits were controlled by
dignity. Miss Lane did not have an
easy roll to fill in the White House. The
passions of contending parties never ran
SO high. Although. like her last two
predecessors, she went into the White
House in mourning, yet as soon as she
laid her grapes aside the life there was
one long gala day; people danced on the
edge of a Volcano with the crust heaving
under their feet, although there was no
public dancing in the White House it
self. Before she left it the flames of
civil war had burst forth.

To take the collective list first, the
guards are designated "Hammel," or
sheep. The cavalry christen the infantry,
as body, by the alternative names of
sand hares," "sand-carriers," and "clod
hoppers." The infantry Invariably speak
OF the cavalry as "grooms." The guards
call soldiers of the line "field-ratsn The
cuirassiers are known as flour sacks" the
hussars as "pack-threads, the artillery as
"cow-soldiers," and the pioneers as
"moles." Coming to separate corps in the
guard, the first regiment of foot are called
"tin heads" because of the color Of their
helmet; the First grenadiers are the "po-
tato peelers;" the chasseurs are "green
frogs" and the huzzars are "glow-worms,n
the uniform Of the first being green, and
that of the second scarlet The Third
uhlans are "dusties,n because of the dull
yellow of the facings ON their tunics, and
the pioneers are "earth-worms." In the
infantry of the line the men of the Eighth
are "cracknel guard" an allusion to the
yellow knot OF their epaulets, and those Of
the Twenty-seventh are the "botchers,n
because they are said to patch their uni
forms almost as long as they will hold to-
gether. In the cavalry the Seventh CUR
assiers are the "whitesmiths;" the First
