WHITE HOUSE STORIES.
Memories of the Administration of
President Polk.
President Pierce WAS the Don Nivnnt
of His Period-Some White House
Children and what Be-
came of Them.
Especial washington Letter.l

For generation past we have almost
constantly had children in the white
house. The Lincoln family, Nellie
Grant, the Hayes family, Nellie Arthur,
Molly Garfield, Benny Mckee. and the
Cleveland little girls have all contrib
uted their share to the simplicity and
domesticity of the home lives of our
presidents; and our people have looked
with pleasure and approval upon the
mothers and children of the executive
mansion. as well as upon the men who
resided there, both as the heads of
! families and us the executive head OF
! the nation.
! "Children came to the white house."
says an elderly gentleman, during the
administration Of President Polk. There
were two births at the white house,
| Mai. Walker. the presidents private
secretary. came there with his wife and
two children. but at the close of Polk's
| administration the Walkers had four
children. Mrs Walker was Il Virginia
lady and assisted in the social duties of
the house, and naintained the rcputa-
ton Of her state for hospitality. Maj.

fellow, about six years old. He was
pet of everyone, especially the presi-
dent Mr.. Polk taught him how to sa-
lutte visitors. One morning when the
family was about to breakfast, as the
president entered the room, Harry was
standing near a piece of furniture, and
when strengthening himself prepara-
tory to making his salute. bumped his
head. Instead of making the salute
he turned to see what had struck him.
with his back to the president. The
president enjoyed his discontinue and
excused the salute. The poor boy was
killed shortly after the administration
closed by being thrown from Il horse.
AT all of the public receptions dur
ing Polll's administration. Gen. Hunter,
the marshal. was master of ceremonies,
and he was a fine old Virginian. 1t
was his custom in the winter to send
to the president occasionally fine fat
wild goose, and nothing entered the
white house in MIR. Polk's term which
was more highly appreciated by the

steward was wanted at the white house.
and he asked the Oldest attendant TO
get him good man. One of the force
of Wizards hotel, German, was sug-
gestcd 10y the attendant, and he was
sent up. The old general, on looking
him over. did not form favorable
opinion of him, but concluded to give
him a trial.
"The attendant was called up and
asked sharply is that the smart man
you sent for"
"'Yes, sir, was the reply.
"'He deceivcs me if he is, said the
president; but he is entitled TO a trial,
and I'll give him one.

pert had proved to the president that
he was the right man and in the right
place. Subsequently the president had

president The Marine band played
at the receptions and levees and in the
grounds. Then the band represented
no particular nationality; in fact, rep
resentatives of every nation in Europe
could be found in it. During the levees
the band would play in the hall adjoin-
ing the east room. 1t was custom Of
the president to treat the band, es-
pecially when they were giving open
air concert on the lawn, and usually a
bottle each of gin, sherry, old rye
and brandy was quietly smuggled on
| the stand After the election OF Presi-
dent Tavlor, in 1S4S, and before his in
auguration, the latter made several
calls on Mr.. Polk. Old Zach stopped at
| Wizards, and before his Inauguration
| he dined with Mr.. Polk and his cab
met. Here he had an opportunity of see
! ing the attendants of the house, and
Col. Bliss, Gen. Taylor's son-in-law, sug-
gested that he make no change. Be
fore retiring from the white house Mr..
Polk introduced the attendants to his
successor. remarking of the male at
tendants that he had made democrat
of every one of them. Old Rough and
Ready answered by extending his
hand, saying: Give me your hand. We
won't faA out about politics, but take
care we don't fall out about something
else
During the winter President Polk s
brother was guest at the white house,
and MS he was a jolly good fellow, he
made things lively there, keeping every
body in good humor. He was com
paratively young man, at least 2C
years the junior of the president, and
had some years before been appointed
charge d'affaires at Naples. When the
Mexican war was in progress some OF
the opposition papers referred to Will
liam Polk being in place of safety in
stead of being at the front. Some OF
these papers were marked and sent tc
him. He at once resigned and came
home. raised a company of cavalry ir
Tennessee, and announced that the oh
jBt of the company was to capture
Santa Anna. He went into the Mexican
war, and his company almost succeeded
in capturing the Mexican general, his
wooden leg and chest being seized by
Maj. Polk's troopers, and the genera
making a narrow escape. Mr.. Poll
served in congress from 1851 TO 1858
and was a man of much more than ordi
nary ability
There were no children at the white
house during the Taylor, Pierce and Blu
chanan administrations, but Linceln's
family was boisterous and permeated
the entire atmosphere of Washington

manner. "Iet me tell you story about

Doctors Trickle, Adair and Cooke,
the new board of Pension Examiners
for Washington county, met Wednes-
dav in the Leader Building, and organ
lied DR.. Adair was chosen as presi'
dent: DR.. Trickle, secretary, and DIR,
Cooke, treasurer.
The new board formally requested
the old board, Doctors Eddy, BOIL and

but those worthless saw fit not to re-
spond favorably to the asking, holding
that they were the board, and under
civil service protection, would continue
to do business as such.
Owing to this condition of affairs the
new board Immediately made applica
tion to the Pension Department for the
necessary books and papers with which
to do business.
The old board has been declared ou'
of the civil service, and the new men
have their commission from the depart
ment-so what must the result natur'
ally be?
The mem bers of the old board are all
good men, and have done their work
right up to the notch, in highly salts

makersand good fellows-but as pen
sion examiners-well, they are "haye
