The Ladies Who Have Shared the Honors of the Executive Mansion— A Century of Bright Women—From Martha Washington to Rose Cleveland and the Possible Bride. ; From the Philadelphia Times. The semi-authentic announcement, through the correspondence of the lady concerned, that the President will marry Miss Frances Folsom, of Buffalo, in June, recalls the historic series of White House nuptuals and love aftairsot the uncrowned kings of America in that stately mansion. Washington, itis well known,married long before he became President or even General of the army. He met the lovely— certainly lovely if Wollaston”s picture of her in youth does justice—Widow Custis at Wil- lamsburg during bis service as a member of the Virginia legislature. People who deride the law-making bodies forget that the Father of his Country served fifteen successive years as a legislator. It was at this old Virginia town Washington met and married “My Dear Patsy”—as he calls the widow in his letters both before and after the union, Mrs. Washington before marrying Planter Cusiis was a Miss Dandridge, @ descendant of a Welsh clergyman by the commonplace name of Jones. History tells us she wus one of the most popular and blooming of the iris in young ne capital society of the old ays when Governor Dinwiddie rved the royal willand the maidens of the id Dominion were carefully and virtuously trained to be matrons ina new nation. Mra Washington presided over the Executive house- hold at the seat of government, first in New York, then in this city, with ’a good deal of formility, some say aristocracy, for both she and her distinguished husband were F. F, Vs. heir house in this city was one rented from Robert Morris, on Market street, between Fifth and Sixth. It'was here the Friday levees were held and the rules were very rigorous. A. cer- tain dress was required as at court and a dig fied stateliness reigned. The President net offered his hand to the visitors and Mrs. Wash- ington always received sitting, surrouhded by her jntimates,the nearest of whom was Mra. Morris. ‘This was while the federal city was being laid out and the White House was building. It may not be generally known that Pennsylvania tried hard to keep the capital here, but the influence of the President was against {t. ‘The legislature of this state appropriated a sum tobuild a house for the President, hoping to keep the seat of government here, and the edifice was actually erected —the old University building — but Washington wouldn’t live init, Apropos to this it may also be related that the little inland town of Columbia, in this state, during the discus- sions in the Continental congress as to the loca- tion of a capital, came within one vote of betny the site, and Germantown — where General Wagner thinks all,the great men of this country live—was actually decided on by a majority of one vote, but the decision was afterwards re- ‘Yersed in favor ot the present place. ABIGAIL ADAMS. The first President’s wife was born a Jones, that of the second, a Smith—Abigall Smith—so the republic, so far as the domestic head of It was concerned, was ushered in with a certain demoeratie simplicity. John Adams married his wife when she was twenty, and her father, who was clergyman, preached @ sermon on the Sunday after the wedding—so a historic old chestnut Telates—from the text “John came neither eating bread nor drinking wine and ye say he hath a devil.” During Adams’ term of office, in 1800, the government was removed to Wasilington. ‘Mrs. Adams was the ffrst lady of the White House, but she never liked it and lived there altogether but four months. Her picture, by Gilbert Stuart, represents her as a cheerful and not unhandsome looking woman of fifty, with cap and ringlets of curls wreathin, the edge. She and her distinguished husban were a very conjugal pair and kept up as much correspondence of the pretty sort after their marriage as before, and they sleep side by side in the Congregational churchyard at Quincy. Jefferson went into the White House a wid- ower of nineteen years’ standing and his diary, lately pubiished by John Bigelow, shows he understood thoroughly the domestic economies which were necessary in the matter of provid- ing for the wants of the mansion and its_hospi- talities. His wife was the widow of Bathurst Skelton, a Virginia gentieman, and the daugh- ter of John Wayles, of Charles City county, Virginia. She was said to be a beautitul womnan and Jefferson to have won her over other suitors through his musical voice and ability to play the violin. That Jefferson loved her fs attested by afact related in Sena- tor Voorhees’ lecture on the great Virginian, for, although he lived nearly a half century after, yet, in alittle secret drawer of bis cab- inet on his death was found alock of his wife hair,on which were some endearing verses, ‘written shortly before his last illness, DOLLY MADISON. Dolly Madison was one of the most popular o the White House women, it we believe tradi- tion, and yet she certainly was not pretty, if Prad’homme’s engraving from the picture ot Herring is to be accepted, with the queer tur- ban, profasion of ringlets, large nose and posi- tive mouth. There ts, however, a glimpse of prettily rounded arm and a classic neck through the lace and drapery that perhaps may have combined with her well-attested tact ad Vivaeity to have given her the reputation she certainly enjoys among the Presidents’ wives. She was an F. F. V., Dorothy Payne, although born in the Pine Tree state, and in earty life her parents lived here and Dolly act- uaily joincd the Society of Friends in this city, although no doubt a rising young Quaker lay yer, one John Todd, whom she afterward mar- ried, had something to do with this. Todd died and left her a widow with oue son, so Dolly set her cap for some of the fine-looking young members of the Congress then wont to come to Philadelphia to transact the public business, and in 1794 married James Madison, one oi the most talented of the bod, As is well remembered, Mrs, Madison oceu- pied the White House during the British cap- ture of 1814,and she saved with her own hands Stuart's painting of Washington by cut- ting it from the frame. The official home of the President afer the burning was in Pennsylva- nia avenue, and the levees after the treaty of Ghent are Said to have been on a magnificent scale. Madison lived until 1836, and his charm- ing heipmeet until 1549, some of the people of the present day remembering both, especially the widow, who for many years lived at the capital in ‘a house on what is now Madison Place, occupied atter Mrs, Madison’s death by the lute Capt. Wilkes, of the United States e and her husband lie buried at Mont- Va., which is only a short distanee from Monticello, where Jefferson and wife also await the last great summons. ‘MRS. MONROF. Mrs. Monroe was the daughter of a British army officer named Cartwright, distant rela- tions of the Philadelphia Cartwrights, who set- tied in New York atter the peace of 1783. She was one of four girls. One of these married Mr, Heyliger, grand chamberlain to the King of Denmark; another a Mr. Knox, of New York city, the Only daughter of whout was the wife of tlie late Alexander Hamilton, son of Alexan- der Hamilton, the first Secretary of the Treas a third ‘married Nicholas Gouveneur, of New York, and the fourth Senator James Mon- Toe, of Virginia, afterwards President, The first White House wedding was that of President Monroe's youngest daughter, who married her cousin, Samuel L. Gouverneur, in 1820. It took place in the East Room, and was a Knickerbocker affair, stylish and high- toned tor the day. A number of brilliant re- ceptions in Washington were tendered to the bridal couple, and the cards were out for a very swell one by Commodore “Essex” Porter and wife, when it had to be given up, owing to the untimely death of Commodore Decatur, killed by Barron in a duel. The dead officer had given the young couple @ brilliant party bute few days beiore at hisown home. Anolder daugh- ter of President Madison married Judge George Hay, of Richmond, Hortensia Hay, a beauti- tui girl, daughter of this match, was the wife of Lord Kogers, of Baltimore, whom aid society people of this city will well remember, Lady Bogers died in Paris and 1s buried in Pere la cy MRS. JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. Most persons who have read the voluminous diary of the “old man eloquent,” know more or less of Louisa Catharine Adams, his wife. She was the daughter of a Marylander named Jobn- son, who lived iu London during the revolu- tion, where she was born. Charles Francis Adams was her third son. She accompanied her distinguished husband during much of his diplomatic and official journeying abroad and did the honors ain his exeeative term and was @ woman of varied accomplishments. A. fine paintidly of her by Leslie 1s {u possession of the Boston ‘family, and represents her as & pretty woman, elegantly robed, a jeweled tiara. in her alr, necklace ornament and lace shawl, with @ handsome gown, cut far more decolletee than Rose Cleveland eould possibly approve of Mrs. Adams died in 1852'and is buried with her busband at Quincy.

She died early in their married life at Albany, and her brilliant husband never after took another ja The wife of Mejor Van Buren was the 'y of the White House during her fatherin- law's tenure and ably filled the place. She was Angelica Singleton, leton, of South Carolina, and was at Greland’s ‘seminary in this city and is weil remembered by soine elderly lel phians. She was descended dis Hoguished southern family. “Her unele, An. dre Stevenson, was to a in the first society cireies of New York, where she synacae wast Genera! Harri- son and was @Jersey girl, born near Morris- town, her father being & continental army officer. She never entered the White House, for when the President came east in 1841 to be inaugurated her health was precarious and would not permit the journey. He died a month after he became President, whilst she lived until February, 1864. | President Tyle first wite was Letitia Christain, daughter of Robert Christain, of New Kent county, Vir- ginia. Tyler was at the time of his marriage a young law graduate from the office of the celebrated Edmund Randolph, but his political BES ter toa Uf ne hote ethene We john Tyler, and to this honor of the fathe: son sticceeded, and. from thence to the Presi- dency. Miss Christain was a noted eastern Virginia belle, and when her husband became President assumed the White House duties. Her healti: was teeble at the time and she died there in Se] he 1842. Elizabeth, third daughter of itTyier by this union, was married itrthe While House to a southern gentleman named Waller. Three grand- children of this President, sons, of Ligh<foot Jones, who married the eldest daughter, fought in the'confederate army. One of them, Kob- ert, received three wounds at Gettysburg. Mrs. Robert Tyler, a daughter-in-law of this Presi- denf, acted as the White House mistress after his wite’s death. She wasa lady of great culture and manners, the daughter of the tra- gedian Cooper. Her eldest child, Letitia, was born in the Walte House. A PRESIDENTS BRIDE, President ‘Tyler remained a widower but a short time, paying the Johnsonian compliment to his first spouse by soon selecting another, Miss Jfiliet Gardiner, of New York. She was the daughter of the wealthy gentleman who owned Gardiner’s island, familiar to many naval people as near the roadstead in East Long Island, where the naval practice juadron, witl the Anni lis cadets, spends much ot its sum- mer crusing and exefcising. Although Mr. Tyler was the first President—and so far the only one—to marry in the high office, the cere- mony was not performed in the White House, but at the Chutch of the Ascension in New York, June, 1844. After thewedding a grand reception was given in the Executive Mansion. ‘Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. Polk, with Mrs, Garfield and Mrs. Grant, are living widows of ex-Presi- dents. They all'draw pensions from the govern- ment. Mrs. Poli, now living at an advanced age ta Nashville, was one of the most admirable mistresses the White House has ever had. She ‘Was Miss Sarab Childress, born in the country that the pen of Charles Egbert Craddock has so graphically depicted, near Murfreesboro, and married James K. Polk, then a member of the Tenhessee legislature, in her nineteenth year. He went to Congress the following year and for fourteen sessions continued there, being elected speaker in 1836, In 1839 he became governor of Teunessée, and Mrs, Polk presided with grace at the state executive mansion, so that when in ‘45 they came to the White House she proved one of the most agreeable and popular of hostesses. Many innovations or rather changes in old customs of receiving were introduced during Mrs. Polk’s residence at the capital, notably the one of dispensing with refresh- ments during the levees. TAYLOR AND FILLMORE, The wife of old Rough and Ready was a mem- ber of the extensive family of Smiths-—Margaret Smith,a Maryland girl—daughter of a plain farmer of that state, and their married life for many years was the prosy one of an army couple on the frontier. ‘The first home they had really was when in 1840 Col. Taylor went to the United States barracks at Baton Rouge. It Was while stationed here that Jefferson Davis metand wooed old Zuch’s second daughter, much against the father’s wishes, who disliked to see his children subjected to the same wan- dering existence he hud led his spouse as an army officer. Lieut. Davis was then a hand- some young subaltern, and the seceding ele- ment was so strong in him even at the time that he ran away with Miss Taylor, who died shortly after their marriage and betore the ‘stern old parent had become reconciled to the lopment, iss Betty Taylor, the youngest daughter, was the mistress of the White House during Presi- dent Taylor's short incumbency. She became the wile of Major Bliss, Taylor's adjutant: gen- eral in Mexico, and was a charming woman, well known in her youthful days in this city, where she went to school. The wife of the Presi- dent never received or went out inuch in Wash- ington society and, like Mrs. Gartield, never liked the White House or enjoyed the life there, Millard Fillmore, the second “Accidency,* married a New York school teacher, Miss Abi- (ae Powers, before he became, like Cleveland, a juifalo lawyer. She performed all the public svcial duties devolving upon her by reason of her husband's political eminence ‘with great race and intelligence. Wen he became Chief sistrate she Was not in very good health and @ few weeks after the close of his term died at Willard’s hotel, Washington, of un illness prob- ably much hastened oy her attention to the on- erous requirements of her station, President Fillmore survived his wife twenty-one years, dying in 1874 at Buffalo, and both lie ‘buried, With an only daughter, in the beautiful Forest Lawn cemetery of that city, PIERCE AND BUCHAKAN. Franklin Pieree—pronounced Perse up in Bos, ting—was a classmate of Hawthorne's at Bow. doin college. The president of the college then and for many years was Rev. Jesse Appleton. Jenny Appleton, a daughter of this college pres. ident, became Mrs, Pierce, and her husband, at the time of the marriage a young New Hamp- shire lawyer and Congressman, became atter- wards President of the United States. The first Jew years of official life at the White House Mrs. Plerce’s life was shadowed with grief, owing to the death of their only son a few wecks belore the inauguration in a frightful railroad acci- dent, in which Mr. and Mrs. Pierce were also injured. This cast a gloom over the early years Of the social regime of their term. Many living persons remember the incidents of society life of this period, the quiet, graceful manners of Mrs. Plerce and the hearty cordi- ality of the President, at the levees and state receptions. Mrs. Pierce'died at Andover, Mass., during the war, and the ex-President at Cont cord in 1869. Both are buried in the cemetery, not far from the spot where the embattled farmers fired the shot hear round the world in that pretty New England town. James Buchanan was a bachelor, and _every- body recalls the presiding lady of ‘his stormy ca- reer in the White House—Harniet Lane. his niece—who was well-known in her youth in the society of this city, Lancaster and Pittsburg. It was at Bedford springs she met the young Bal- tmorean, Johnson, who married her at Wheat- land in 1866. The White House never had a more accomplished domestic and social head ‘han this young Pennsylvania girl, [t was while he was hostess that the Prince of Wales visited the United States and was entertained at the President’s mansion. Albert Edward bore away with him, as the story of the day comes down {© us, warm appreciation of the grace and beauty of Miss Lane. IN LATER DAYS, Of Mary Todd Lincoln, the wife of the Great Emanecipator; of Mrs. Johnson, who was Eliza McArdle, and of Julia Dent Grant, the wife of the Silent Captain and President who has so lately passed away, the public of today. is familiar. Mrs. Lincoln and Mrs. Grant both took prominent part in the social duties of their stations, as did Mrs. Hayes and Mrs, Garfleld— the former Lucy Webb, daughter ot Dr. James Webb, of Chillicothe, Ohio; the latter Lucretia Rudolph, daughter of Zebulon Rudolph, of Garrettsville, in the same state. Lincoln lost a son, his iavorite Tad, in the White House. Nelly Grant, the General's beloved daughter, Was married—a brilliant wedding—in the same Place. President Arthur assumed the Chi2t Magis- fracy a widower, and although rumor was very free with his name during his term he did not marry. His deceased wile was a daughter of Capt.

I have spent thou- ‘sands of dollars to arrest the march of this disease; but temporary relief was all that I obtained. I was unfit for any manual labor for several years. A friend strongly recommended the use of Swift's Specific (S. 8.S.),claiming that he himself had been greatly bene- fited by its use in some lung troubles. I resolved to try it. The results are remarkable. My cough has left me, my strength has returned, and I weigh 60 pounds more than Lever did in my hfe. It has been three years since I stopped the use of the medicine, but I have hadno return of the disease,and there are no pains or weakness felt in my lungs.
