THE beautiful epitaph on the tomb
at the Hermitage was written by
him and clearly indicates his sincere
love for her. It reads:
Here lie the remains Of Mrs. Rachel
Jackson, wife Of President jackson,
who died on the 23rd Of December,
1928, aged sixty-one years. Her face
was fair, her person pleasing, her
temper amiable, and her heart kind.
She delighted in relieving the wants
OF her fellow-creatures, and cultivated
that devine pleasure by the most
liberal and unpretending methods. To
the poor she was a benefactress; to
the rich she was an example; to the
Wretched a comforter; to the prosper
GUS an ornament. Her piety went
hand in hand with her benevolence:
and she thanked her Creator for
being permitted to do good. A being
so gentle, and yet so virtuous, SANDER
might wound, but could not dLshonor,
Even death, when it tore her from the
arms Of her husband, could but trans.
plant her to the bosom of her God"
After Jackson refused to consent
to have his remains inferred in the
Elliott sarcophagus. the National In.
stitute, which had been formed in
l841. continued to retain possession Of
it until, some years later, it was turned
over to the Smithsonian Institution
and received some damage in the burn
ing Of the institutions building in
1865. 1t now stands little to the
west of the main entrance of the old
building of the National Museum,
where thousands of visitors see it
annually, but few are aware of its
real history.

This was indeed q strong delega-
ton. Jonathan D. Hoover, member
Of the Hoover family Of this city, was
United States marshal for the District
OF Columbia from 1853 to 1858. James
G. Berret was Mayor of this city from
1883 to 1861, when he was forced to
resign because his loyalty was in doubt.
This, however, seems to have been q
false impression, gained through the
Mayors refusal to take an additional
oath OF allegiance. 1t was more a
question of technicalities than any,
thing else, and judging by Mr.. Ber-
ret's remarks to Mr.. Lincoln when he
and the Boards of Aldermen and
Common Council welcomed the Presi-
dent-elect February ~. 1861, one
might we'll conclude that the Mayor
was not disloyal to the Union. He
said:
''Mr. Lincoln: AS the President
elect under the Constitution of the
United States you are soon to stand
in the august presence of a great
nation Of freemen, and to enter upon
the discharge Of the duties Of the
highest trust known to our form of
government, and under circumstances
menacing the peace and permanency
OF the Republic, which have no parallel
in the history of our country.
1T is our earnest wish that you may
be able, as We have no doubt that you
will, to perform the duties in such a

Octagon, Eighteenth street and New
York avenue. At this time Richard
Cults, who had married Dolly Madi-
sons sister, was occupying the house
he later sold to Mr.. Adams.
In the presidential election of 1924
there were four candidates in the rum
ming, and of these Gen. Jackson re-
ceived 80 electoral votes, John Quincy
Adams, "a; Henry Clay, 81, and Will
liam H. Crawford, Al, and. as none of
the candidates had secured majority
of the votes. the House of Representa-
tives, under the Constitution, chose
Mr.. Adams as President.
A few years later, in 1928, a local
campaign committee known as the
Jackson Central Committee was
formed, and after the election of Gen
Jackson, who was its candidate that
autumn, 1t continued its activities il,
the interests of the Democratic party
and usually had a rally to celebrate
Jackson's victory at New Orleans. The
chairman of this committee in 1928
was Gen. John P. Van Ness, who
had married the daughter of David
Burnes, an original proprietor of land
in the District of Columbia. H. C.
Neale was secretary of the committee,

No story Of this attractive club
would be complete without mention
OF Miss Mary Cummins, manager and
housekeeper Gas she was for Mrs.
Curtis before). She looks after each
member like mothering hen, has full
charge Of all household affairs, orders
the meals with rare taste and tmag-
tnation, and with the able assistance
OF the butler, Adams (who was also
with Mrs. Curtis before the club be-
GAM, adds or subtracts places from

At a later date there was in WASH
tngton q Democratic organization
known as the Central Hickory Club.
TWO years later Cen. Van Ness was
elected Mayor of Washington and
served four years, and so much did he
admire Gen. jackson that when he
died a portrait OF "Old Hickory" was
found hanging on the wall of his din
ing room.
Subsequently the Jackson Central
Committee became the Jackson Demo-
cratic Association, and as such it
functioned for many years, and as
the Oldest political body in Washing

However, there is no question about
Andrew Jacksons democracy, for he
was surely of the people and for the
people, and even In death he wished
to lie in humble grave.
INDEED his very simplicity would
have had it thus even had he not
so expressed himself to Duncan
Elliott. in a letter dated March ~,
1845, In which he said:
HERMITAGE, March ~, 1845.
Dear Sir: Your letter Of the 18th
instant, together with copy Of the
proceedings Of the National Institute
furnished by their corresponding secre-
tary, on the presentation by you Of the
sarcophagus for their acceptance, on
condition 1t shall be preserved, and in
honor OF my memory, have been re-
ceived, and are now before me. AL
though laboring under great debility
and affection, from severe attack
from which may not recover, I
raise my pen and endeavor to reply.
The steadiness Of my nerves. perhaps,
may lead you to conclude my prostra-
ton OF strength is not so great as
here expressed. Strange as it may
appear, my nerves are as steady as
they were forty years gone by, whilst
from debility and affliction am
gasping for breath.
Il have read the whole proceedings
OF the presentation by you of the
sarcophagus. and the resolutions passed
by the board Of directors. so honorable
to my fame, with sensations and feel
ings more easily to be conjectured
proceedings call for my most grateful
thanks, which are hereby rendered
to you, and through you to the presi-
dent of the National Institute. But
with the Warmest sensations that can
inspire grateful heart, I must de-
cline accepting the honor intended to
be bestowed. I cannot consent that
my mortal body shall be laid in a
repository prepared for an Emperor
or a King-my republican feelings and
principles forbid 1.-THE simplicity of
our system of government forbids it.
Every monument erected to per-
petuate the memory of our heroes
and statesmen ought to bear evidence
OF the economy and simplicity of our
republican institution, and the plain
ness OF our republican citizens, who
are the sovereigns of our glorious
Union, and whose virtue is to per-
petuate it. True virtue cannot exist
where pomp and parade are the gov
erning passions. It can only dwell
with the people. the great laboring
and producing classes, that form the
bone and sinew Of our confederacy.
For these reasons I cannot accept
