Brief Eeview of the Careers ot Statesmen of Great Abilitj "WHO HAVE BEEN VICE PEESIDENTS rwMTTEN FOB TIIE BISrATCH.l XECUTXVE power shall be Tested in a President of the United States o f America," says the Constitution. The same instrument fur ther provides for a ViceVresident, who shall preside over the Senate and succeed the President in the event of his removal, death, resignation or inability to perform the duties ot the office. These two officials are elected by the same bodies, the Electoral Colleges, at the same time, and their terms begin and expire to gether. Yet General Harrison is the twenty-third President, while Mr. Morion is but the twenty-second Vice President Seven Presidents were re-elected: Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Lin coln and Grant; while hut four Tice Presi dents Adams, Clinton, Tompkinsjand Cal houn were accorded that distinction. Aaron Burr. Three Vice Presidents Adams, Jefferson and Van Buren were afterward elected to the Presidency, and four Tyler, Fillmore, Johnson and Arthur succeeded to it upon the death of the President. Had all the Presidents lived through their terms General Harrison would be the 19th Pres ident, hut Mr. Morton would remain the 22nu Vice President. VICE PKKSIDEN'TS RE-ELECTED. As it is, seven Presidents have been re elected and only four Vice Presidents. That would make the number ot Vice Presidents three the greater, but four Vice Presidents becan e Presidents by succeion, making two Presidents in one term, with the net result of making General Harrison the 23rd President and Mr. Morton the 22ad Vice President. .Five Vice Presidents Clinton, Gerry, King, "Wilson and Hendricks have died in office. The first Vice President to fail in his am bition to reach the greater place was Aaron G rorge Clinton. Burr, the most subtle and mvsterious char acter that has yet appeared in American public life. He was born in 2few York in IT06. and died on Staten Island about 80 years later. His brilliant military career in the devolution, bis subsequent in tricrues. and his disgrace are matters of fa' miliar history. In 1830 the Itepublicans ran Jettersonand Iluir, and in the Electoral Colleges their votes tied. Uurr was chosen Vice President after a seven days' struggle. Hear the close ot his term he ran for Gov ernor of Xew York and was -defeated by Morgan Lewis. THE CAMPAIGN' VAS A IIOT ON'E, and some expressions Hamilton nsed in his letters got into print. Burr seized on these to force a duel. The two men met at 'Wee hawken at 7 a. m. on J uly 7, 1804. Hamil ton was mortally wounded at the first fire. Burr retired from the field unhurt in body, but nevertheless a ruined man. George Clinton of Xew York succeeded Burr as Vice President. He was born in 1739 and died in "Washington in 1812. He was a delegate to the Continental Congress, f er ed in the French "War and the Bevolu- tion, and was chosen the first Governor of Zew York. He received 3 electoral votes for Vice President at the first PresidenUl election and 50 tor President at the second.' He wa elected Vice President in 1801 and re-elect din 1808. Elbridge Gerry. tlbridge Gerrv, who succeeded George Clinton as Vice President, gave his name to the redistneung of a State for partisan advantage in a "gerrymander." It was first done in Massachusetts when he was Governor in 1810-11. Gerry was born in 1744 and died in 1814. In his three score and ten years he performed many honora ble actions.

Born in 1774, he began public life in 1801, as a member of the Legislature. He was a member of Congress, a Justice of the Su preme Court of the State and Governor irom 1807 to 1817, when he resigned, having been elected Viee President. In his last year as Governor of New York, in a mes sage to the Legislature, he recommended the total abolition of slavery in If ew "lore, and an act for that purpose was accordingly passed to take effect July 4, 1827. Millard Fillmore. The celebrated John C. Calhoun now be came Vice President, serving as such dur ing the Presidency ot John Quincy Adams and the first term of Andrew Jackson. Martin Van Buren held the place during Jackson's second term, and is the last of the Vice Presidents to be elected President. As President he had Kichard Mentor John son for Vice. Johnson was born at Bryant's Station, Ky.. in 1781, while it was indeed the "dark and bloody ground." He served in Congress almost continuously trom lb07 to 1819, in which year he was elected to the Senate, serving till 1829, when he again en tered the House, serving till 1837, when he became Vice President.

Born in 1792 he began life by accompanying Albert Gal latin as private secretary to Europe in 1813, to negotiate a treaty with England.

He returned to this countrv, but without his health restored, and died the day after reaching his home in Alabama.

She Dressed Like a Country Greenhorn and Was Very fond of CHEWING GU3I AND JtfOLASSES CASDI HE sudden stoppage of Miss Mary Ander son's acting, and the mystery maintained as to her illness, led your correspondent to seek out Mr. Stephen Fiske, who was the manager who origin allv introduced her'to New York. Mr. Jtfiske said that no other actress had ever been so cared for during her earlier seasons. Her mother was her dresser and stood at the wings, watching her, prompting her and waiting for her with a shawl or cloak. Her stepfather was always in the front of the house. Both accompanied her home after the play. "Whoever or whatever had happened to separate them and break up the wonderful family was responsible for Miss Anderson's nervous condition. Her work in the thea ter was much lighter than ever before; she spared herself more, and she was too strong to be injured by the easy railroad journeys. Her trouble, however caused, came from some influence outside the theater, where she was as much at home as if she had been born on the stage. "Yes, I was the manager of the Fifth Avenue Theater when Mary Anderson made her debut in Hew York," said Mr. Stephen Fiske, "and I well remember what a lovely young girl she was and what a strange party she made with her mother and her steptather, Dr. Griffin. Of all the green horns that ever landed in this oity the Mary Anderson party were the most verdant at that time. But they had pluck and luck and talent and fully deserve their subse quent success. AX IGNORANT PABTY. "It was impossible not to be interested in the party, they were so friendless, so help less, and so "ignorant of the world. She bad no friends in New York to whom to send boxes and seats on her first night. Nobody called upon her. She literally knew nobody out of the theater, and the party were happy if they could stay in the theater from 'early morning to bedtime. Everything was left for me to do; but they never appreciated this. On the contrary, their ignorance made them suspicious. They were so afraid of being thought inex perienced that they appeared presumptu ous. "When I came to talk about the costumes for "The Lady of Lyons," Mrs. Griffin seemed astonished that a man should know everything about what a lady should wear, and told me that she had always dressed her daughter correctly, and that. I had better leave the costumes to her. Dr. Griffin proudly remarked that he did not intend to spend a cent upon new costumes; that what was good enough for Boston was good enough for New York. My offer to present Mary with a new dress for Pauline if she would go to the store and order it was indignantly refused. Mary looked like a tall scarecrow on the street, and people turned to laugh at her. Mrs. Griffin was always ladylike. In her youth she must have been even hand somer than her daughter. OTHER TEOTJBLES. "Presently, lawyers' clerks began to in fest the theater lobby, and then, in self defense, Dr. Griffin had to tell me the truth. Old Louisville judgments against him had been transferred to creditors here and levies would be made upon Mary Anderson's share of the receipts. After I had arranged this matter satifactorily the party concluded that I was really frfendly and thawed toward me a little. Mrs. Griffin had been Mary's instructress in elocution. Dr. Griffin had cut the plays for her. She had b-en under the tuition of Mr. Vanderhoff forfiveweeks, but that had only unsettled her. All were greedy of praise and resented anything like criticism. Mary loved to act. She told me OYS' SUITS ! j-pr- n - . Jersey Suit Zouave Kilt. We have a few very important things to say to parents in this sec tion of the country.

GOOD ONES Those Uring out Every day this week we shall give rjSKrrB, PITTSBURG - DISPATCH, that after her first appearance as an amateur at Louisville, in 'JRichard the Third,' she longed to act the tragedy all over again 'and I did holler in the last act, she added, naively. "Atlast the night of her New York debut arrived. It was Monday, November 12, 1877. I had engaged a very good company to support her. Eben Plvmpton was the Claudi, John Moore the De'schapples, Louise Eldridge the Madame Deschapplcs, Mrs. Mnrv HilltheWidom Delnotle, Edward Mar ble "the Jabot. There was aboirt 5300 in money and a good paper house. Never was a Pauline attired in such execrable taste. The ladies of the audience could not con ceal their sntilcs; but, in the cottage scene, after the mariage, Miss Anderson's fine voice and splendid physique captured every body. 'Evadne,' 'Guy Mannering' and Mngomar' followed. HEK FIRST SUCCESS. As Parthenia, in "Ingomar," she made her first artistic success. She looked a pict ure in her 6tmple costume, and her manner ot saying, "Igo to cleanse the cup," en chanted the audience. In "Evadne" she declaimed magnificently; but her sole idea of acting was to realize, in the statue scene, the popular picture, "Simply to Thy Cross I Cling." As Bianca, in "Fazio," she wore modern costumes and, but tor her vouthful beauty, would have been absurd. For her farewell benefit she played the sleep-walking scene lrom "Macbeth," and was very stilted and declamatory. Indeed, throughout the whole engagement, she played to tke gallery and was most eager for applause. On the first night, having counted up the house which I had to do personally, so suspicious was Dr. Griffin of being cheated by subordinates I started home forsupper, when it occurred to me that perhaps Miss Anderson would like something to eat after her hard work. So I called at Dr. Griffin's rooms, in West Twenty-eighth street, and found theuture queen of traced? eating a cold pork chop as she sat on a trunk. No table was laid; there was no preparation for supper. The whole party accepted my invi tation.and we went to the nearest restaurant. I dared not take my star to Delmonico's in her eccentric costume and yet she looked splendidly handsome in spite of her common and not even tidy clothes. SUE LIKED CANDY. On our way we passed a candy store, and Mary looked so longingly at the window that I asked whether she would like some candies. "Oh, yes," she cried, and jumped up and down on the pavement with pleas ure. She selected a pound of molasses cream-drops and commenced to eat them at once. The supper began with oysters on the half-shell. To see Mary Anderson eat ovsters and candy alternately was terrible; but a handsome girl may do anything unre buked. The .papers were very kind to Miss An derson during her firstf engagement. The critics were conquered by her personal charms. As much as possible was made of the facts that she was the daughter of a Confederate soldier and a rigid Catholic. She was always written about as a Ken tucky girl, although she was born in Cali fornia. In truth she reminded everybody of a Kentucky 2-year-old she was so tall, so long-limbed and so full ot promise. After awhile Henry Watterson, who had knorfn her in Louisville, came to town and took an interest in her. He brought ex Governor Tilden to see her and Tilden ad mired her so much that he was taken behind the scenes to be introduced to the new star, and whispered to me, in his confidential manner, 'What a remarkably handsome girl! No actress but how very hand some!" JEALOUS 6F 5IODJESKA. "Miss Anderses told me, at this time, that she was born July 28, 1859. This would make her in her thirtieth year now. She has been upon the stage two seasons, having made her formal debut at Macauley's Theater, Louisville, November 27, 1875, in 'Borneo and Juliet.' Modjeska was underlined to follow her, at the Filth Avenue, and she was very jealous ot Modjeska's advance notices and still more of my advice to study the finished .style of acting of the Polish Countess. During the opening night of Modjeska's engagement she would come to the theater, look around at the empty seats and say, cheerily, 'Your great actress doesn't draw any better than I did, eh?' But this feeling was quite imper sonal. It was the delightful vanity of a spoiled child. "Even at that early periodot her career," concluded Mr. Fiske, "Dr. Griffin talked of taking Mary Anderson to England. Howard Paul suggested the scheme, being carried away, like everybody else, by her personal attractions. Upon her retnrn from England I found her greatly im B , -No Pattern, Design, Shape or Style But What f. ' Can Be Found at GUSKY'S.

Indeed, she had never before identified herself with a char acter. In the most exciting scenes she would recognize, friends in the, boxes and the story that she had to take chewing gum out of her mouth to speak the heroic lines of Parthenia is literally true."

A Brink Local Demand for Fine Pletorei Some of the Remit of Late Sale Here. Is there a market for fine paintings i Pittsburg? Pretty good evidence there i can be found in late sales here. A month or so ago, the house of P.eichardt & Co.,j M Xew York, seat to this citv a number 01 pictures from which purchases to-'tha amount of 28,000 were made, by lovers of art within the two weeks of their stay. Later, Mr. Collins, also of New York, brought a lot of attractive canvasses, and his sales, with in ten daTO amounted to 112.000.

Pittsburg has not yet shown anything like th' craze or pretensions to connoiseurship in re gard to painting which some older communi- fies exhibit. There Is little of that character "i here; but there is a feeling of liberality evWJf dently growing which must be encouraging not M only to those collectors of New York who send 'i on their wares to this city, but also to our local A artists. These latter do not fail to recognizee the value of the excellent pictures coming from. j abroad, from an educative point of view. The costliest picture exhibited in Pittsburgh yet as part of a collection for sale was that ia the Collins lot, byRosseau, for $12.500 a littlo bit of a landscape not three times the size of -one's hand.

As a general thing focal artists are greatly pfeased by the interest shown in these works?",. from abroad. They think that the public are ' being educated up to the line points of art, also ' to the higher values. One of them speaking oa the subject a day or two ago said: "In the old times the price of S500 would seem to soma people to warrant a picture about the size of ' the side of a house: and the considerations of color, of composition and of the drawing we'fa ' insufficiently taken into account. But the day of cheap and crude pictures and of chromo pro- L dnctionshas passed." The local artists ara y also free to confess these exhibitions of ad- f vantage to themselves. "So far, we have hlth- ) erto been obliged to go abroad in order to see tha finest paintings. Now we can get a glimpse of, some of these at home.
