Jackson's Regard for Van Buren

Between jackson and Van Buren, on the other hand, the latter being vice-president during Jackson's second term, there was warm friendship Richard M. ohnson, the vice-presdent during Van Buren's term, was disliked by the Van Buren faction of the democracy, and though Van Buren got the unanimous vote of the convention of 1S36 oJhnson's vote was barely the two- thirds necessary to nominate.
 It is usually asserted that Harrison and Tyler belonged to different parties, and that if Harrison had lived to serve out his term instead of dying, as he did, month after it began, there would have been no friendship between them. Polk, who suc- ceeded Tyler, had no especial friendship for Dallas the vice-president. Dallas principal rival in the democracy of Pennsylvania, James Buchanan, was made secretary of state by Polk, and Dallas counsel was sell dom sought by the administration.

Lincoln Stood by Himseif

There was a decided lack of harmony be- tween Taylor and Fillmore. Taylor was believed to be largsy under the influence of Seward, who had just entered the senate, and Seward was a party rival of Fillmore in their state. Vice-I: resident Breckinridge, though influential in tn section which dominated Buchanan's administration, the south, had mtueh less sway over bachanan than Jefferson Davis, then senator, exer- cised between 1857 and 1861. Lincoln was personally friendly to Hamhn, put con suited him seldom. Johnson, who had the second place on the ticket at Lincoln party, and never pretended to.

SHORT STORIES
 OF THE DAY

Commonly the vice president has very little influence in the administration of ms day, says writer in the Baltimore Herald It is easy to see that this would be inev1t- able under the manner of choosing the first and second officers which was in vogue along to and including 1900. In the first four elections the electors voted for two persons without designating which one Of them they wanted to be president and which vce-president, the person receiving the largest number of votes, if majority getting the higher post, and the one coming second on the list taking the other office Under this method the president and vice. president would often belong to different parties.
 In 1796, however, when Adams was elect ed president there was a party contest, the federalists winning the higher ofnce, but Jafferson, the choice of the majority or the republicans the political progenitors of the democrats, was only three votes be- hind Adams. As there was a partisan dl- vision between president and viee-presi- dent during Adams four years in the white house, and as the partisan spirit was fuly as intense at that time as it ever has been in our day, there was no chance Ion any cooperation between the first and second officers. Jefferson, indeed, complained somewhat bitterly that Adams never con- suited him on ''any measure of the bovern- ment''

SELMA

The affair extraordinary of the present season in Selma was the Normal presenta- ton to society of Miss Tom Woolsey by her parents, MT. and Mrs. Minthrone Woolsey which event took place Thursday after noon and evening. In the afternoon for two hours a constant stream of callers thronged the spacious parlors of the Wool sey home, corner of Mabry and Dallas streets. and at night at the Hotel Albert about fifty couples were present at ger man which was led by Mir Mallory, who, as g conductor of the cotillon, has few equals and no superiors
 In the receiving party besides number of Selma young ladies and matrons who Miss Ferrie Nabb of Birmingham, Miss Estelle Shook of Nashville and Miss May Douglas of Knoxville. There were a num- Der of visiting young women present from different sections of the country. and one may be sure that visitors and local guests alike will not soon forget the very pleasant epoch of their lives marked by the func- ton attendant upon the debut of Miss Woolsey.
 The Misses Woolsey are not unknown to society in Birmingham having frequently been visitors to that city and guests of honor at several smart functions. Miss Mary Ella Woolsey few years her sisters senior made her debut only last year, and she has been and is one of the Central Citys most popular beles. Her younger sister bids fair to follow in her footsteps and already has host of admiring friends.
 The decorations of both the home and the hotel on the occasion of the presenta- tion to society of Miss Woolsey were mag nifcent, American Beauty roses of the choicest varieties having been secured in profusion. There were number of dis tinctly elegant toilettes worn, and seldom has so much beauty and gallantry ever as sembled in this city of historic functions.
 Tuesday night at the Broad Street Pres byterian church occurred the nuptials of two of Selma's young people who are ex- ceedingly popular with every class of the city. The beautiful edifice had been de- corated for the occasion with two arches of bamboo arranged in an artistic manner around the altar and immense banks of ferns and palms between so that when the wedding party grouped themselves in front of the Man of God the eye beheld so fair picture that one must needs wish it could have lasted longer
 The ushers were Lieutenant John W. Craig, U. s. A., Mr. A. T. Bartlett of Mont gomery, Paul w. Stewart of Pensacola and R. D. Walker of this city. The groom was attended by Mir Cad Jones of this city, while Miss Jean Hooker performed the similar office for the bride. Rev. Russell Cecil said the words that joined for life Mary Finley Craig and Horace H. Stew art, Jr in a most impressive manner, and if the sincerest wishes of large congrega- ton of friends shall influence divine bless ings on the marriage, it will certainly be their lot to experience nought but happi- ness through life.
 The bride was preceded down the aisle by two exceedingly pretty flower maids, Misses Theresa and Frances Blakely, her nieces.
 After the ceremony an informal reception was held at the home of the brides pa rents, where called many friends to extend congratulations.

Burr Not in Accord With His Chief

The intrigue by Burr with the federalists in the tie vote between him and Jefferson in the election of 1S00 by which these two republicans led Adams and Pinckney, the federalists created an estrangement be- tween the president and vice-president dur ing the four years in which Burr held the second office. Jefferson was somewhat dis trustful too of George Clinton, who was vice-president during Jefferson's second term in the white house, nor were the re- lations of Clinton very cordial with Madi- son, Clinton serving as vice-president dur ing Madison's first term as president. Cal houn was vice-president during John Quincy Adams four years in the presin- dency and during most of Jackson's first term, but Adams, although he sat eight years with him around the council table of President Monroe, always had sort of distrust for Calhoun.
