Loves of the Presidents.
A Washington letter to tho Cleve
land Leader contains tho following
cntertalnlnc information about tho va
rious PfeauletitV wives anil nwcet
hearts :
Mart!) a Skeleton, tho beautiful wifo
of tho roJ-heaiknl and freckled Jeffer
son, had been dead nineteen years be
fore her husband was elected Presi
dent. Kacliel llotiolson, tho wifo of
tho hot-headed, but courtly Jackson,
had her dresses niado to take her place
as mistress of tho Hxecutivo Mansion,
but died throe months beforo Old
Hickory was inaugurated. Hannah
Hoes; tho consort ot tho foxy Miss
Nancy ViinUuren, lay in her grave
seventeen years beforo Jackson made
him successor, and President Harrison
died in office beforo his wifo had como
to Washington.
Tho Presidents' wivts now living aro
Mrs. Polk, Mrs. John Tyler, at lilch
tnond ; Mrs. Grant, in Now Jersey j
Mrs. Hayes, at l' reoinout, and Mrs.
Garfield in Cluveland. Of the widows
Mr.-.. Polk, Mrs. Tyler and Mrs. Gar
field draw from tho government pen
sions of 85,000.
Mrs. Zacli. Taylor died in Louisiana
during tho sanio administration for
which her husband was elected. She
opposed her husband's being a candi
date, and would have nothing to do
with the social lifo of tho capital. Ab
igail Fillmore died nt Willard's hotel
here it month after her husband had
finished his teim. The hard work of
tho White House hastened her decaso.
Mrs. Lincoln lay ill at tho Whito
Honso for a long time after her hus
band's death, and Andrew Johnson did
much of his first executive business at
tho treasury department. Mrs. Letitia
Christian Tyler is the only President's
wifo who has died in the White House.
Martha Washington died tvo vears af
ter tho death of her husband nt Mount
Vernon, where Washington died in
1790. She shut herself up in an nitio
chamber aim cut a nolo in the door lor
her cat. She saw no one and lived
without a fire. Abigiil Adams' health
failed her after she had lived four
mouths in tho White House. She left
it and weut back to Massachusetts and
died there aged seventy-four. Dolly
Madison-was driven from Washington
when tho British burned tho capitol, in
1814, but tho shock did not kill her.
She returned here to live after her Inn
band's death, and tho died at seventy
seven, in 1847. Mrs. John Quincy
Adams also lived to be seventy-seven
years ot ace. olio was married at twen
ty-two, and was born and educated in
London. John Quincy Adams was en
gaged to her three years beforo ho
married her, and her first tour after tho
wedding was to Berlin, where Jlr.
Adams went to servo as minister.
It is a curious fact that the fust
threo Presidents married widows. The
stories of their courtship abound in ro
mance, ueorge Washington was a
Colonel on his way to Williamsburg,
the old capital of Virginia, where ho
was stopped Dy an old planter friend
and asked to stay over night, lie rc
plied his business was urciuir, and a
stoppage of any kind was impossible,
His friend then cited the virtues and
beauty of a beautifrl widow of twenty'
sis years in such glowing terms that
Colonel Washington decided to take
dinner and see tho paragon, lie was
to delighted that he staid all night,
and on his way back became engaged
to her. This was Alailamo (Justis,
whoso maiden name was Danuudge.
Jefferson's wif had been a widow
four years when eho married him, and
Bho was only thirty-seven years old at
that tune, she was tun years Jeuer-
son's wife, and in that period had debt
children by mm. she died in
It is said she was much courted, aud
two of Jeffereon's rivals met on her
doorstep a day or two beforo tho lat
ter's engagement. They heard sounds
of music within, aud soon found that
Jefferson was singing a love song to
tho young widow while she played an
accompaniment on the harp. They
concluded not to press their suits, and
lett with tneir love untold.
Dolly Madison'n folks were Virginia
Quakers, who freed their slaves and
went to Philadelphia to live. Here, at
nineteen, Uolly. a demure Quakers,
married John Todd, a Quaker lawyer,
who died when sho was twenty-three,
and left her a ptetty widow. In less
than a year she married again, and
this time Mr. Madison, who was a
member of Congress. Sho was thirty
seven years old when her husband be
camo Preeidcut.
Andrew Jackson's wife's husband's
name was Kobards, and she was only
sixteen when sho married him. Hob
ardi was a jealous fellow, and of an
exceedingly ugly disposition. Rachel
Ilobards separated from him, and got
what both she and Jackson thought
was a valid divorce beforo sho was
married to Jacksou. She was about
twonty-two years old at this time, and
tho ciicums',auccs ot tho union created
no general remark over tho country,
Nevertheless, almost forty years later,
uiinug iuh campaigu oi mo i residency.
tho matter was dug up and it was
charged that Jackson had married her
before shb was legally divorced from
Capt. Hobards. Tho story is too long
to repeat here. It is eno'itrh to sav
that Mrs. Jackson was cruelly slander
ed, and that this was one of tho causes
of her death. Sho was not anxious to
como to Washington, and once sho
saiu 10 a lrieiui : -i assure you i
would rather bo a doorkeeper in the
house of my God than dwe'.I in that
palace in Washinctou." Andrew Jack
son dearly loved his wife, and there is
a tradition at tho White Home that he
never went to bed without taki-ig a
locket holding a picture from his bosom
nnd propping it up against his Bible
so that it would be the first object
upon which his eyes would rest in lliy
morning. Andrew Jackson was tliu
widower President. Jefferson came
beforo him, and after him camo Martin
VanBuren, John Tyler, and Chester
A. Arthur.
Tho only bachelor President tlia
country has had is James Buchanan,
who respected thu woman who jilted
him when ho was a young man too
much to ever marry another.
Martin VanBiireu was a great law
yer when ho married his wife Hannah.
Sho was of good family, and was a
few months older than her husband.
Tho two had gono to bchool together
as children, and their uugagemeut was
n long one. They were married as
soon as VanBnren's law practice would
warrant it. Their married life, like
that of Jefferson's, lasted only tun
years.
When John Tyler married his first
wifo ho was twoiity-thrco years old .and
. sho was tweuty two. Ho had long
been in love with her nnd courted her
for fivo years. "Still," says his son
Geneial Tyler, "he never ventured to
kiss her hand until thieo weeks before
the marriage, on his last visit to her
prior to tho wedding. John Tyler was
nt this time a young

lawyer, and he

tho Legislature. He

Tyler's son, and his wifo waj an Kpls-

rresiilcnl Pillinoro was n wool card

when thov fell in love. Both were
poor, and Fillmore, nftor studying law
uud moving to Buffalo, did not seo his
affianced wife for three years, becauso
ho was too poor to pay tho faro of tho
one hundred nnd fifty miles which lay
ciwccn then). Mrs. I'illmoro was two
years older than her husband, and she
was twenty-eight years old when their
marriago took placo. Sho died in IS'i'i.
rresulent b illmoro survived lier tweu-
ty-ono years, and mnrried tho woman
who It is said hecamo insanu boloro-
shu died. Mrs. Fillmore was a preach
er's daughter, and so was Abigal
Adams and Mrs. Frank Pierco. Sho
was tho samo age as Mrs. Fillmore nt
tho time of her marriage, and her
groom was n member of Congress
when ho marriod hi-r. Mrs. 1'ierce was
somowhat liko Mrs. Haves in tho rigid
piety with which she observed Sunday
at tho White House. It was her cus
tom to ask tho employes to go to
much, oho did not liko society, aud

possible a Christian homo for her fftni-

was engraved "Love, is eternal, alio
was a Kentucky uirl. who had none, to
livo with her sister at Springlleld, III.
Hero sho met Liucoiu, then a young
lawyer, and began life as boarders,
paying for tlieir accommodation four
dollars a week.
Eliza McCardiu was seventeen years
old when she married a young North
Carolina tailor who had settled in
Greenville, Tenn. His name was An
drew Johnson, and ho was just of age.
Sbo possessed more learning than her
husband, and the two worked together,
though she did not. as reported, teach
him his letteis. When, after many
years, he became President, she was too
ill to do the honors of tho White House
and her daughter took her place.
.Mrs. Julia Uent, President urants
wife, comes from an old family, and
her great grandfather was the survey
ing General of Maryland. General
Grant met her in St. Loui, and was
engaged to her four years before ho
tuarriL-ti ner. inuring tins uiuu uie
Mexican war intervened, and shu was
twenty-tlireo years old when her wed
ding took place. Mrs. Hayes is a
Uhiltcothe girl, rresident Hayes made
love to her while she was
going to school at Cincinnati, and mar
ried her after a two years' courtship.
Geiural Garfield was also associated
with his wife during her school days,
and there bad been a long acquain
tance before their engagement in 1830.
Such is a brief history of the loves of
tho Presidents. As far as we know
they seem to have been singularly hap
py in their love affairs.
Don't Feed on the Ground.
One of tho most wasteful practices
in sheep husbandry is the too common
one of feeding on tho ground. Go
where you will, yon will find some far
mers feeding their sheep on the ground
in tho worst weather that ever stormed.
They .throw tho hay on the soaking
wet ground to bo trampled down in tho
mud. And tho same way of feeding
grain is practiced. It is thrown on the
ground, and in wet days much of it is
lost.
- The expense of making teed troughs
and racks is ho small that tho waste of
ono seasou's feeding on tho ground to
a tair-sized hock would more than pay
for all necessary appurteuances of eco
noraicai teemug. tr nat is more, as
every ibekmaster knows, sheep aro
very particular about their feed, and if
it is the least bit damaged will not
touch it. And this ny stem of feeding
otten torues the Uoctc to go without a
meal rather than touch thq feed when
wet and muddy.
Consideration for dumb animals
should have some weight with their
owners ; but if it has not, the knowl
edge that tho tlock will thnvo much
belter, aud tho loss will bo much less
in number, should certainly, have tho
effect of turning tho farmer's
attention to the advantage of
feeding in troughs and racks. iVa

Compelling calves and colts to He in
filth or on damp floors or bedding is
tho poorest kind of economy, It not
only prevents the growth of the nui

A largo lump of clean rock salt
should be kept constantly in the man

sufficient to satisfy tho average horses

Beots or mangel wurzel are preferable
to turnips for milch cows, as the latter

The odor passes off before the cows
are milked again.
Not long ago two gentlemen were

Dyeing Uloves.
Any lady ray dye her soiled gloves
without difficulty, and at a very trifling
cost, by tli'j following recipes : For
black, first brush the gloves with alco
hoi ; when dry, brush them again with
a decoction of logwood ; when this is
dry, repeat tho logwood wash, and, af
ter ten or fifteen minutes, dip them in
to a weak solution of green vitriol.
If tho color bo not jet black a little
fustic may be added to tho logwood.
The gloves should be thoroughly rub
bed with a mixluie of pure olivo oil
and French chalk, as they begin to
dry, to give them a smooth, soft and
glossy appearance j they should then
be wrapped in flannel, and placed un
der a heavy weight. Should there be
any holes in the gloves, they must be
carefully mended beforo commencing
the dyeing process ; and tho tops also
should be sewed up to prevent any of
the dye getting on the inside.
Gloves can bo dyed brown by using
a decoction of fustic, alum, and Brazil
wood ; this should be applied in tho
same manner as the foregoing. A de
coction of snmao and a very weak so
lutiou of green vitriol produce gray,
greenish gray being obtained by tho
addition of logwood nnd fustiu to su
mac. Fancy shades can bo produced
by using tho aniline colois in solution ;
they can ho simply applied with a
sponge. Thus soiled gloves may be
made as good an now Popular
Science News.
A better plan for removing grease
spots than applying a hot iron is to
rub in some spirit of wine witli the
hand until tho greaso is brought to
powder, and there will he no trace of
it. Every school-boy is not aware that
ink spots can bo removed from tho
leaves of books by using a solution of

housemaid know that "spots" aro easi
ly cleaned from furnished furniture by
rubbing it with spirit of camphor.

Oentlkmkx : When your agent, Mr. C.
Mears, solicited me to purchase one of
your Western Washing Machines, nothing
but a desle to bo courteous prompted mu
to glvo onu moment's attention to it, as all
thu washing machines I had ever seen had
proved utter failures. Hut when your
agent, in a commendable spirit of fairness,
ottered to sell your machine on its merits,
I could not rcfus'i to give it a fair trial. It
lms now done service in mv laundry threi
months, and I must say that it is perfect I',
every respect, doing fts work thoroughly,
and with it onu girl can do the work ol
two, without fatigue. It Is simply match
less. cry iruiy louis,
