In the Cabinet room of the White House
up stairs there is collection of the earlier
presidents. They are all built on one
model, equal in size and framed exactly
alike. They are very old fashioned in ap-
pearance. They were contracted for dur
ing the administration of Andrew jackson,
and went in as a job lot at $500 apiece.
They are portraits of John Adams, John
@. Adams, James Monroe. James Madison
and Martin Van Buren,. Later on were
added, in the same style with the same
style of frame, pictures of William Henry
Harrison and old Zachary Taylor. Por-
traits of old General Taylor are very rare
and this is even more of q rarity because it
pictures him in the uniform of a major
general of the day. His stern face is that
of an Indian chief, and his complexion is
equally as coppery. In the same cabinet
room is another portrait of Jefferson which
is said to be Stuart, but of that there is
great doubt. The portrait was found some
years ago in England and presented to the
White House by British nobleman.
The ladies of the presidential families
are not as well represented in the gallery
of portraits as they should be. There is o
small picture in the Green parlor of Mrs.
Tyler, painted when she was Miss Julia
Gardner, before she became the wife of the
president 1t represents lady of exquisite
form but not strikingly beautiful face.
People who remember that but few years
ago the aged Mrs. Tyler died an inmate of
the Louise Home for INDECENT Ladies can
not but look upon this picture with feel
ing of sadness.
In the same Green parlor and on another
panel hangs the portrait of Mrs. James X.
Polk when that lady was about thirty
years old. 1t is the picture of rather

How curiously things do work around in

How curiously things do work around in
this world. This remark is far from orig
inal, but it certainly is appropriate to the
present financial situation in Europe. The
car of Russia was evidently getting ready
to do some big thing, when he found his
arm paralyzed by want of cash and credit
He had chosen to persecute the Israelites,
and thereupon the Rothschilds notified
Europe in general that the new Russian
loan should not be "fioated." And it
wasn't. There will be no war in Europe
this year, say the best judges, and for this
we may thank the Hebrews.

Aug. Hornung, a well-known manu-

tack of the cramps which he relates as

cramp in the stomach, which l believe
would have caused my death, had it not
been for the prompt use Of Chamber
lain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhea Rem

all others that adorn the White House
wallS, was ordered by congress, which ap-
propriated 3, 500 for the work. The pic
ture has not been assigned place among
the celebrities, most of which hang in the
south corridor, but hangs for the present
in the main vestibule, where the general
public can see it.
The canvas is striking portrait of the
ex-president, as all say who see it. The
artist has caught his expression to the life,
and his co4oring of the features and hair is
superh The pose of the head and body is
totally unlike the photographs of Mr..
Cleveland that are SO familiar When sit
ting for a photograph one is apt to as
sumo q stiff and strained attitude, but in
this portrait the artist represents his sub
iec< 1t perfect ease and in his most natural
position. All who see it say it is decidedly
the best of the presidential portraits. 1t is
not 90 large rs some, nor as elaborately
framed, but it is all the more admired for
that. Some of the pictures of ex- presidents
whose figures adorn the walls of the White
House present greater display of canvas
and frame than of art, it is feared. Notable
In this class are several who have passed into
history as very commonplace presidents.
The largest OF ALA gigantic canvas by
Healy-is of Mr.. Fillmore, who never cut
much of figure in craftsmanship. That
portrait is of mammoth proportions, COW
ering the whole of one of the great panels
in the south corridor.
Congress has been very liberal to art in
its honors to the ex-presidents. Some years
ago it gave Healy an order for three por-
traits-those Of old John Adams, Martin
Van Buren, and Fillmore-at 81, 900 each,
and when these pictures were finished it
was the opinion of all that Healy had de-
termined to earn his money He made all
three full figures and of giant size.

kORIhAlT OF ZACHARY TAYLOR.
Two Of tho finest portraits are those of
Grant and Garfield, painted in 1882 by G.
l. Andrews, instructor of art in the Cor
corDn gallery. Congress paid 5000 each
3orthem. They are hung side by side in
the corridor. with small and very indif-
1erent portrait of "Old Hickory between
them. The two have gorgeous gilt frames.
On the same side of the corridor are por-
traits Of Franklin Pierce John Tyler and
James K. Polk. These were all painted in
1854, and by various artists-none of ma
tional or enduring fame, 1t is greatly
feared that one or two of them are daubs.
Ono Of tho most modest of the portraits,
both in size and form, is that of Ruther-
ford B. Hayes. 1t is not only modest, but
Il nlls very modest niche over the door
eAding from the main corridor to the front
yestfbuie. Congress only paid $500 for that
picturc.
Tho pictures which are most familiar to
the public eye are four mighty canvases
thnt hang in the great East room. They
nEe Of uniform size and each is a full length
6gure They are George Washington and
Martha Washington, painted years ago by
4tuart; and Abraham Lincoln and Thomas
Je6exson, the latter the work of Mr.. An
drews, Of the Corcoran gallery. The pic
tuxe Of Washington is much criticised as
Hkeness. The artist has given the father
Of his country cigar store Indian stiffness
Of figure and "woodeny" face
The portrait of Martha Washington is
paxticulaxly striking because of its bril-
liant coloring. The good Martha is de-
pfcted in full court costume-powdered
hair, stomacher, white panniers over a
senxlet petticoat. Martha has fearful
scowl on her face, and a great many people
who look at the picture think that perhaps
unwritten history, to the effect that Mar
tha was something of shrew, may be cor
met, The picture of Mr.. Lincoln does not
- that statesman justice. 1t is picture
e Lincoln when he was forty years old
rather than q picture of him as president.
Iho ptrture Of Thomas Jefferson, by Mr..
AnaxgwB, Is also criticised because OF its
eeaGsy look.
4 Dnf, perhaps, of all the White House col
1out1on Of portraits the most conspicuous
and stxi1inR Is that Of Chester A. Arthur.
This Seizure was painted while Mr.. Arthur
~ sfau president. He chose it from Q
vox1GtY Of sketches submitted to him. 1t
= fuIl length canvas and hangs in the
Bod poxlor, in position selected for It by
~. Arthur himself. Itwas painted by old
urnfcA Huntington, q famous portrait

THE WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON PORTRAIT.
beautiful woman, arrayed in an astonish-
ingly brilliant gown of crimson hue, re-
vealing great wealth of neck and bust.
The old Lady, still living, at Che age of
eighty-eigh probably has but an indis-
tinct recollection of this picture, for it has
been many years since she has seen it. In
the same room there is another picture of
a White House lady, the daughter-in-law
of Martin Van Buren. This was the wife
of Prince John Van Buren,, whose notable
Irritation with the queen of England long
since passed into the social history of the
White House. 1t is the picture of very
handsome woman, but artistically it does
no credit to the painter. A marble bust of
President Van Buren, appears in the pic
ture.
But next to Martha Washington the
most pretentious feminine portrait of the
White House collection is the famous tenn
perance portrait of Mrs. Lucy Hayes,
which was presented to the White House
by the temperance women Of America. 1t
is q full length portrait of colossal size. 1t
represents that excellent lady in gown of
royal purple. 1t is said to be a very excel
lent likeness. This is the picture which.
it is said, Mr.. Arthur, during his occu-
pancy of the White House, relegated to
the cellar. But that story is not univer-
sally believed. It originated from the fact
that for year or more the picture disap-
peared from the White House, the lady
donors having taken it away for the pur-
pose of having engravings made from it.
This picture, too, is the work of old Daniel
Huntington, and it is said he got &, 500 for
it. Originally the picture had massive
oaken frame, elegantly carved, the carving
revealing masses of tangled vines and
bunches of grapes. When Miss Rose Eliza
beth Cleveland came to the White House
she had the frame chopped up for White
House kindling wood. The picture, which
now hangs over the grand piano in the
Green parlor, is inclosed in a massive gilt
frame more appropriate to the subject.
