THE great contrast in the fate
which has befallen the de-
scendants of our Presidents was
peculiarly exemplified a few
weeks ago. when, almost on the
same day. guardian was appointed for
an eccentric grandson of Andrew Johnson
and a diplomatic commission was given
TO Il grandson of Gen. Grant.
Andrew Johnson Slower played in the
White House when small lad. HIS
mother the youngest daughter of the
tailor President was a widow when her
father succeeded Lincoln. She brought to
the White House two o:heH children. both
daughters. Lille and Sarah. After leav-
ing Washington the widow and her little
family returned to their home ia Tennes-
see. but some thirty years ago Mrs. Slower
died. Her death seemed to unbalance the
mind OF her son. who. shortly afterward,
went up into the mountains of eastern
Tennessee where he has since lived the
life of hermit, subsistinS on berries.
fruits and small game. This summer his
relatives applied to the court to have
guardian appointed for the care of his
estate. and their application was recently
granted.
Another child of the White House was
Nellie Grant. the favorite daughter OF
President Grant. 3 In 1876 she married
Algernon Sarioris. esq, deputy lieutenant
of Caermarthonshre, whose father was a
member of parliament and whose mother,
nee Adelaide kemble wasta sister or
the celebrated actress, Fanny kembie.
The marriage OF SartOris and Miss Grant
proved unhappy. Absolute separation was
inevita bic. and SartoriS died shortly after

The son Of this unhappy union. Algernon
Sartoris, jr.. served IL the Spanish war
first lieutenant of engineers and the
next year became Il captain of the sd
United States Volunteer Infantry. Six
years ago he received an infantry lieu
