lavo n vice president. Tltiy wciu re

for iliu Hint tlino In hlxti'on yearn tlio

lino of larik'rt at tlio pichIiIuiiI'h right

rvptlon at tlio Whito Hoiim, anil for tlio
first tin.o In many yearn thu vlco prosl
dent and liln v)fo pivoa grand reception
t tholr own rttddenoi'. Tlio people aro
likely to ho often reminded of tlio exist
ence of tlio vico president and IiIh wife,
for oiiu foully jhtcoIvoh n determination,
a very pralsoworthy one, on the part of
Jlr. and lrn. Morton to make all that
can lo inado of tholr olllco and (tuition.
A (dngtilnr fatality ImH attended tlio
olllco of vleo president for a long time,
lira. Schuyler Colfax was the hint lco
ronldont'M wlfo who waH ahlo to tnko
hor proior placo In tlio Hoclnl world,
Blio wns a lady intich admired here, and
from tlio day of her dohut in Windilng
ton 8oclety, Now Ycar'n, 18(19, till her
IiiinIuhhI'h retirement from olllce, hIio
ln)ro a prominent part. The next three
vico presidents Henry Wilson, William
A. Wheeler and Chester A. Arthur
wero wldowon). Vico President Hen
dricks did not live long, enough to en
nlilo liln family tocoutrihuto much totho
noclal activity of tlio capital. Mrs. Mor
ton comes, therefore, to till an nulling
void. Slto lirlnga great wealth, ahun
dnut culture, long experience and raro
tiict to her task of taking tho nodal lcad
crslilp of tlio now administration which
Secretary Whltncy'H wife horn In the Inst
ouo.
On going from tho Whito Houso to tho
Alorton iiiuiihIoii on Now Year's day I
could not help contrasting tho two build
ings, to tho former's disadvantage. It Is
n fact that a private houso in Washing
ton seems Iwttor adapted to social and
ceremonial events than tho president's
liouse, in which tho whole puhllo should
take ho much prido. There may Ihj a
littlo more room in tho Whito Houso
than In tho Morton mansion, hut tho lat
ter excels In homity and conveniences.
.At the White House an amusing incident
occurred just mi tho annual reception
was nt itn height. The diplomatic ccvyte
was passing along In a brilliant l.',1o of
gold, silver nnd guy colored Trappings
and uniforms, greeting t..S president and
the ladles or his cojrt, whon bouio one
iu tho blue parJor, where were congre
gated the uiiYrtliersof tlio cabluot and tho
lieajuy and fashion of the city, com
plained of tho temperature.
And what do you BUppoKo then hap
pened? Postmaster Ueneral Wanituiakor,
who is very zealous about proper ventila
tion of rooms, called ouo of the servant)
of the house, tho veteran l'endell, and
Pcndcll presently appeared Ixxiring in
his hands a long polo with a hook on one
end such a iolo as is used iu some old
fashioned churches to pull tho windows
dowii. That is what Pemiell had it for,
but in order to get into the blue parlor
ho was compelled to drag tho long stick
through the lino of diplomats and over
tho heads of tho Indies of tho cabinet
and special guests In tho rear of the
president and Ids assistants. Count Arco
Valley, tho German minister, was iass
ing just then, and he looked up nt tho
pole and nt l'endell with his ouo eye
glass iu a half surprised manner which
was very suggestive. It was well ho did
tK, for at that moment l'endell turned
from tlio passageway to tho bluo room,
and the count camo near having his sin
glo optio knocked from its roosting place
to tlio iloor.
Ill tho Morton house there were two
entrances, conveniently arranged as to
tho drawing rooms and tho cloak rooms.
People could como iu by one door and
go out the other, nut at the Whito
House tho arrangements hi this respect
vera most inleernbTo. Only ouo door
vns open. Through this people were
arriving constantly, so, of course, it
could not bo used as an exit. Shortly
after greeting tho president, tho mem
bers of the diplomntio corps had to take
their carriages and drive to tho resi
dence of Secretary Ululne, where they
were to partake of tho annual diplo
matic breakfast. But in order to leavo
tho building they found it necessary to
go out through n window and wnlk
across n temporary bridge. Hero they
emerged right in tho thick of n crowd of
grand army veterans who wore coming
to pay their respects to tho president
Tlio veterans had leen standing for an
hour in tho rain, and many fino costumes
were soiled, and many pretty twupcrs
temporarily ruined by tho onforced con
tact Of courso tho vico presidential recep
tion was a great success. Tlio diplomatic
pcoplo seemed particularly delighted,
and, as is well known, they are inclined
to bo somewhat critical. Tlioy lingered
by tho hour in tho beautiful parlors.
Mrs. Morton's exporienco as wlfo of tho
minister to Franco was seen to stand her
good service on this occasion. Sho not
only speaks French llko n French wo
man, but is thoroughly familiar with
those countless little things which make
up the sum of perfect breeding and man
agement. Am ouo of the diplomats was
heard to say on surveying tho great din
ing room, with its Louis XVI ceiling, its
fireplace and grand mantel of the Ucnals
banco, and Its sumptuous appointments
and collation, "Ah, this is like homo
again." It will certainly bo something
if tho Mortons can satisfy our friends
from across tho sen that wo rudo western
ers dp know something about society,
after all.
But tho Mortons want to do much
more. Tlioy want to lift tho vice pi est
dentlal ofllco up to all tho dignity of
-which it Is capable, ft is not much of
an ofiloe anyway, considered as a politi
cal factor or from its Influence ukii leg
islation, It is mi olllco of groat hmu1u11I
ties and very small ower. Tho only
authority the vlco president can claim Is
that of making tho distinguished mem
lurs of tho American house of lords 1n
Imvo thoiusolves with becoming dignity
nud respect for tho rules while on tho
floor of tho senate. Ho can call a sena
tor to order, and ho can rap on the oak
desk with his gavel, and ho can sign
hills, nud that is nhout nil lie can do,
He has not tho owor toapnolnt tlio com
mittees of tho sennto, as (ho sM'iiker of
the houso appoints tlio committees Iu
that body. If ho had this jsiwer, the
vlco presidency would ho actually Instead
of nominally the second olllce In tho gov
ernment, Tho only appointments the
vlco president can make nro those of sen
nto telegraph ocnitor and his own pri
vate secretary. That is all, and for many
years It has not been tho custom for the
president to consult tho vico president
concerning other matters of patronage,
except, 'icrhapi, in the hitter's own state.
The vico president has not as much
actual owcr as one of the senators over
whoso dolllierntloiiH ho presides. Ho can
neither Bjx'uk nor vote, hut must sit all
thu day long, merely echoing tho re
quests and formal references of business
oHored by the men of real iowor in that
hody, the senators themselves. Senator
Sherman presents a resolution and asks
to have It referred to tho committee on
foreign nITalrH, of which ho Is himself
chairman. Tho echo In tho chair slugs
out, "To thu committee on foreign af
fairs." Aside from simple duties llko
these tho vlco president has to recognize
"tho senator from Massachusetts," or
"tho senator from Kansas," or whatever
tho state may be, when n senator claims
the Iloor, and dovoto the remainder of
his time to an efTort to keep awake. A
president pro teuioru of tho senate is a
veritable king In power compared to tho
constitutional president. Ho can step
down from tho chair and speak, ho can
sit In tho chair and vote, and as the rec
ognized leader of his party iu tho senate
ho has tremendous inllucncc iion legis
lation. It Is pretty certain that tho framers of
tho constitution did not Intend making
this olllco ono of such littlo lmportaiico.
They did not foresee that It was to lie
como a sort of llfth wheel iu tho govern
mental machine. Tho first president
ran tho country nearly six mouths with
out n cabinet ofllcer, nud during that
thno frequently called upon the r,'Ctf
president for ml vico and an.-otance. The
earlier vlco preside;.!- wuro all treated
with nioro consMratlon than Is now
accorded tliif)ccupaiiUof that olllce.
Mr, Norton will not Imj able to change
tVo system which has lieon so long iu ob
taining its growth. He must 1kw to the
inevitable. I happen to know that Mr.
Morton, who is by no means n brilliant,
hut an earnest nud conservative, man,
has for months leen studying with n
good denl of application nud zeal to pre
pare himself for the discharge of his
duties as presiding ofllcer of the somite.
Inasmuch as that task is imposed upon
him by tlio constitution, it is his desire
to perforin It as: well as possible. It is in
tho social field that tho vico president
will bo compelled to seek his greatest
triumphs, and in this there is a peculiar
llttlugncss, from tho fact that it was a
vico president who mado tho social laws
which to this day govern nt tho national
capital.
Washington had not been long iu olllce
before ho discerned that polite society
of nn otllclal sort needed rules and forms
If it were to proceed harmoniously and
successfully. In other words, tho now
republic must have a social code, un
written but obligatory, as well as uiitat
uto l)ook, So ho asked tho vico presi
dent, Mr. Adams, and tho iuemlers of
his cabinet, Jay, Hamilton and Madison,
to prcaro a plan of court etiquette.
Tlio rules presented by Mr. Adams in re
sponse to this request were substantially
adopted, and havo continued the code
of manners at tho executive mansion
through all administrations, that of Jef
ferson alone excepted.
But fow vice presidents' wives have
reigned with anything llko such bril
liance as is likely to mark tho career of
Mrs. Morton in Washington. It is a note
worthy coincidence that the first find
the last vico president's wife had many
things in common. Mrs. Adams, who led
society iu NowYork and Washington dur
ing tho eight years of her husbands in
cumbency of tho ofllco of vico president,
was a woman of strong charactor and
great experience. At tho court of Oreat
Britain, at a timo when tho chagrin of
King Qeorgo and of his royal sjxhiso,
Charlotte, over tho loss of their Ameri
can colonics was keenest, sho filled her
part with raro tact, and on several occa
sions with better manners than were dis
played by tho occupants of tho British
throne. Jelfcrson, leiug a widower, did
not contribute much as vico president to
tho social life of tho capital. Aaron
Burr's beautiful daughter occasionally
presided nt her father's houso while that
brilliant but unscrupulous man was vico
president.
Tho wife of Elbrldgo Gerry, tho fourth
vico president, died in the first year of
tho administration. Somo fatality like
this has attended tho ofllco with great
persistency. Vico President Daniel
Tompkins was a widower. Tho wlfo of
Vlco President Calhoun reigned brilliant
ly, proving that all rules havo excep
tions. Sho was a great friend of Mrs.
Donelson, tho presiding lady of tho
Whito House during tho stormy reign of
Andrew Jackson, and sided with her
against tho president in tho famous row
about Peggy O'Noil. Martin Van Burcu
as vico president, attained some social
prominence by doing entertaining which
Mrs. Donelson wouldn't do, and then
tho olllce relapsed in social dignity till
tho Tylers came. This was eminently a
social family, but in a month they wcro
called to tho White House. With tho
exception of tho Dallascs, who brought
to Washington somo of tho best social
manners of Philadelphia, there was no
brilliant woman representing tho vico
presidential ofllco till Mrs. Schuyler Col
fax appeared, and first after her, as wo
linvo seen, is Mrs. Morton.
If tho fates, which havo hitherto been
so unkind, will withhold their unfavora
ble touch, Mrs. Morton will do well, Sho
is n woman of lino manners and tact.
Though sH'aklug with a slight accent,
acquired abroad, sho Is without affecta
tion, simple, earnest and not a subscrltier
to tho theory that iollto.hocloty is hypoc
risy rcfintd, When Mr. and Mrs. Mor
ton were going to Chicago a few weeks
ago to I to present nt the owning of tho
great Auditorium, there was some ques
tion as to who should entertain them,
Tho family of Mr. Kurd Peck, who had
built the Auditorium, were to entertain
tho president and Mrs. Harrison, but for
omo reason, which at first appeared
rather mysterious, they did not apjiear
to wish to have tho Moitoun also. Final
ly tho reason becamu apparent. Mrs.
Peck, herself nu accomplished woman of
society, wiih actually afraid of Mm. Mor
ton', UK)ii whom shu looked as "a grand
dame," a leader of society iu Paris ami
Now York, who would ho likely to over
uwo and overshadow a simple Chicago
woman, But Mrs. Peck did entertain
Mrs, Morton, nnd thu two became fast
friends.
"If I had known how simple nud lova
ble sho was," Mrs. Peck afterward con
fessed, "I should have Ih-oii as eager to
have her witli mo as 1 was, In fact, timid
nhout it." A cabinet minister said to me
thu other day: "Mrs. Morton isn woman
of the finest culture, with a gieat big
heart in her. She is a woman whom one
would naturally go to If he wero in
trouble. If any one can put heart mid
humanity into this cold ofllcinl society
of ours sho can, and heaven knows that
N what our society needs."

CHOCTAW LEGENDS.
Some Inlcrcntlni: Turin llrmiKlit Out In 11
talk M ltd l'lr Pltohljim.
Hwlnl OonvsixHiilenco.)
KanhahCity, Jan. 0. During a recent
conversation with Peter Pitclilynn, tho
great Choctaw chief, I learned that tlio
Choctaws have a legend of "Tlio Del
uge," and that they onco flattened the
bonds of their children, both of which
facts I shall attempt to show is confirm
atory of their original habitat having
boon far iu tlio southwestern Krtlou of
the continent, as they claim, and not thu
northwest, as those who advocate the
"Lost tribes of Israel" theory claim.
Now tlio Mayas, those strung1 people
who built th.o woiidorfcl Aructures, tho
ruins if which aro found at Uxinal,
rulciniio nnd elsewhere iu Central Amer
ica, flattened the heads of their children,
and all the Isthmian Indians havo n tra
dition of a deluge (Miami's muI fate,
probably). Is it not probable that the
Choctaws, as they claim they did, camo
from that region, where at ono timo in
renioto antiquity, jostled, as it were,
with the Mayas, and brought hero with
thorn somo of tho corrupted legends of
that coplol
Tho Choctaw tradition of "tho del
uge," as related by Chief Pitclilynn, is
this: "Our jeoplo havo always had a
tradition of thedelugo,' which hnpjoned
in this way: There was total darkness
for a great timo over tho wholo of tho
earth; tho Choctaw doctors, or mystery
men, looked out for daylight for it long
time, until at last they despaftod of over
seeing it, and tho wholo nation wero very
unhappy. Finally n light wns discovered
iu the north nud there wns great rejoic
ing, until it was found to be great iiioun
tnlnsof water rolllngon, which destroyed
them all except a few families who had
expected it and built an immense raft,
on which they wero saved!"
Of tho primitive religious Iwlief of
tlto Choctaws, as. related by Pitclilynn,
the following Is n synopsis: "Our peo
ple nil wero firm In the faith that the
spirit lives iu a future slate; that it has
to cross a dreadful, deep and rapid
stream, which is hemmed in on both
sides by high nnd rugged hills. Over
this stream, from hill to hill, there lies a
long and slippery pine log, with the bark
peeled olT, over which tlio dead have to
pass to tho delightful hunting grounds!
On the other sldeof the stream there aro
six inhabitants of 'the good hunting
grounds,' with rocks iu their hands,
which they throw at all who attempt to
cro.-s when they reach the middle of tho
log! Tho good walk on safely to tho
'delightful hunting grounds,' whero there
Is ono continual day; where tho trees aro
always green; whero tho sky has no
clouds; whero there nro constant cooling
breezes; whero there is ono everlasting
scene of feasting, dancing and rejoicing;
whero there is no jain or troublo nnd
pcoplo never grow old, hut forever live
young nnd enjoy the youthful plensures!
"Tho wicked on tho log see tho stones
coming nnd try to dodge, by which they
fnll and go down thousands of feet to tho
water, which is dashing over tho rocks
and is Btinklng with dead llsh and ani
mals, whero tlioy aro carried around nnd
brought continually back to tho samo
placo in whirlpools', where tho trees aro
all dead, and tho water full of toads,
lizards and snakes; where tho dead aro
always hungry, but havo nothing to eat;
aro always sick, and never die; whero
tho suu never shines, and whero tho
wicked are ever climbing up by thou
sands on tho sides of tho high rock, from
which they can overlook the beautiful
country of the 'good hunting grounds,'
tho nbodo of tho happy, but never can
reach It."

Operu lu Volupuk.
Ono of tho latest practical demonstra
tions of the use of Volapuk wns made In
Brisbane, Australia, where Meyerbeer's
opera, Tho Prophet, translated into Vol
apuk and presented by Nicholson, the
inaunger of tho thentro in that city,
mado such a hit that ho was compelled
to repent tho icrformauco ten times to
standing room only. Mr. Nicholson con
templates the translation and presenta
tion of tho oporn Traviata. This uso of
tho language proves very conclusively
that the sound of it when spoken is not
harsh or bad, or it would havo fallen
flat Indeed when used In an opera. Vol
apuk is mado up of none hut puro full
sounds of tho vocal organs; it has no
flat or half tono sounds and but fow
double consonant Bounds and
riploones.

One who personates tho flour merchant will

"flour," "I," "yes" or "no." For instanco,
