The presidents house has been the scene of
more changes, and business of Importance
to the welfare of greater number of people
has been transacted within its walls during
the past eighty-six years of its existence than
in any building in the world. Ii was the first
public building erected in Washington. In
March, l792 the commissioners having
charge of the new capital city advertised in
the New York and Philadelphia papers ''for
plan for presidents house to he erected in
the city of Washington offering as prize for
the competition the liberal sum of 500 for the
accepted design. The successful one among
the fifteen applicants was James Hoban, a
young freshman. He pleased the commission
ers SO well by his talent that they gave him
large salary to superintend the construction
of the house Hobans plan, it was after
wards found, was not such an original con
ception as they at first supposed, for NJ
closely copied the plan of Duke Of Leinster's
palace at Dublin so that the present White
House is almost duplicate of that palace.
The above sketch Of the Presidents pal
ace" as it was then called, has been handed
down to us from those days. \ fitting aC-
compartment to it would be this extract
from IA description of the city hy John Cot
ton Smith, at that time member of congress
from Connecticut. He wrote: Cone wing of
the Capitol only had been erected, which,
with the presidents house, a mile distant
from it, both constructed with white sand
stone, were shining objects in dismal con-
trasts with the scene around them. Instead
of recognizing the avenues and streets por-
trayed on the pan of the city not one was
visible The Pennsylvania avenue. leading,
as laid down on paper, from the Capitol to
the presidential mansion, was nearly the
whole distance a deep morass covered with
elder bushes. which were cut through 10 the

IN 1199 the corner stone of the White

hills of Maryland and Virginia were full of
excellent marble they were unaware of it,
and a sandstone from Virginia quarry was
used in the walls of the building. This sand
stone was afterwards found to I've such Il poor
building material that it became necessary
10 give it each year n coat of thick white
paint to keep it from crumb!ing away. The
house is 17Cxs6 feet in dimensions.

struction by British Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, April 6.-Senator MorFili's
bill, which has been reported favorably by
the senate, and is likely to pass both houses,
is designed to furnish the president an appro-
pirate dwelling place. The present White
House has long since been inadequate to the
demands of presidents residence. Out of
the thirty-one rooms in the building, there is
but one room the first floor the family
dining room, and six chambers ON the second
floor are all that is left for the use of the
presidents family. The rest are devoted to
the requirements of official receptions, and 10
the executive Offices.
