A PRIMITIVE CUSTOM.

It Unites the Glare of the Present with
 the Dim Light of the Past.
 There is primitive custom still ob- served at the executive mansion in re- gard to lighting the large lanterns which stand out from the great white pillars of the front portico, says the Brandon Banner. Electric lights have been introduced throughout the interior of the mansion, but fortunately for the picturesque aspect of the place these cumbrous old relics of a bygone age have been allowed to remain. The only change has been that in place of the sputtering lamps which in the early times gave light after nightfall to the presidents and their train of brilliant men and women throughout the various administrations, there have been sub- stituted sprays of gas jets. Long may 1t be before the vandalism mark of progress reaches these quaint old lanterns to destroy their picturesque ness by the introduction of electricity. Every afternoon the passers-by just at nightfau, looking through the high iron railings inclosing the front lawn, may see an old man come slowly down the Jagged walk from the direction o1 the greenhouse, bearing on his shoulders long ladder, which he places against the projecting stone iron supports o1 the lanterns. Carefully mounting the ladder the old fellow fumbles in the depths of volurninous overcoat pocket brings out solitary match ably the supply of matches Is not sc limited as would appear, but the lamp lighter never allows himself to hold but one match at time-and, striking 1t he guards the little f1ickering flame as carefully as though the universe wers to be searched for another.
