If that ttt not it now snyliic;Tlt Is n very
tros onb, mill most truo things nro old,
Md most old tiling nro truo, so that the
wonder in why thoy hnvo not lctt nc
ceptod and dono with long uo. The
reason, 1 suptioso, lit tlmt every now mm
ration, ovory now individual, in fitct, In
lata upon acquiring liln own Information
for himself and scorns "other tneu'i
leavings."
Certainly thin unction pf intcrnntionul
marriages Is old. I romoifrbcr as a llttk
child sitting up at a tnhlo to look nt the
picture in it big Oiblo, and my fnvoritt
was a very spirited cartoon representing
the Benjaminltes descending nxu the
Tineyards of Shiloh, I bcliovo it was, and
each mau seising a struggling maiden tc
carry away to be inado his wife. I used
to clamor, thoy tell mo, to ImbIiowii tliT
"Gentlemen of Benjamin," as 1 called
It.
There in that same old Biblo wo an.
told that the sons of God 'married- tlu
daughters of men, probably tho earliest
record instance of intcnintitmal mar
riage. , Later on In tifo 1 learned tho story ol
the rape or tho Habines, and pondered
much upon tho probablo 'after life ol
those unwilling brides, and even ven
tured is my cynical young mind to wish
that a fleet of Sabinos might sail into the
gulf. of Mexico and carry, away certain
obnoxious eNerly maids from the envi
ron of New Orleans.
Neither history nor tradition tells uh
now any of these international mar
riages nrospered, but I am inclined to
Ittdce kadly. 1 dare say tho sons ot
uod, whoever they" way have been, were
rata WM.priMtau and soon concluded
nnffiMeta of men were' a bad
lot, and' they were aorrythey had under
taken tlwir conversion. And 1 dare say
those merry maids of Shiloh sighed mori
than once for tho pleasant vineyards
whence they had been torn and tho care
less dances which had been their prin
cipal occupation.
Aa for tho Sabino brides, ono can well
imagine the remarks thoy would upon
occasion make to their bridegrooms, or
rather to their masters, upon tho rude
fashion of their wooing, nud how often,
in whatever lauguiigo Snhinea nswl, they
would say:
, "Wb.tt elso could 1 expect from such -t
brute as you showed yourself tlmt day?"
And probably tho Subino gentleman re
sponded with u contemptuous flip of his
callous tiugers or perhups a touch of Ida
whip.
William of Normandy, wishing to
make an International marriage with
Matilda of Flanders, waylaid her us she
came from church, dragged her from her
Ealfrey, rolled Iter in tho dirt aud gave
er a good beating with his stirrup leath
er. I bellovo it was after that episode
that she and her maidens embroidered
the Bayeux tapestries iu his honor, so 1
suppose that she was neither maimed iu
body nor unforgiviugiu spirit. But, for
all that. 1 have uot tho smallest doubts
that in moments of conjugal unreserve
Matilda often alluded to tho leathering
aoeae, and William us often lamented
that their acquaintance had uot ended
there.
But if one goes into royal interna
tional marriages there is no end really to
the unhappy histories written, bet ween
the lines of grave unuals of state.
The French brides of English kings,
with their pathetic attempts to import a
little of their national gayety and grace
into insular commonplaco; the devout
Spanish infantas, who fouud their .re
ligion either the deadly horror or the
flippant scorn of French aud English
courts: the haughty Austrian, Marin
Louisa, scorning the Coraican-Frcut-h-man
to whom she had liceu bartored;
that other unfortunate archduchess,
Marie Antoinette, whom the French ac
cused before all things of beiug an Aus
trian (VAuutrichienne) in fact, the Hut
la endless of unhappy royal interna
tional marriages, and we leave them hr
we And them for warnlug lights.
In our own day and time we have plen
ty of examples ready at hand; Probably
every one of us is personally cognisant
of some international marriage and can
answer for ourselves whether, as a gen
eral thing, these marriages' have been
Moceteful. Those which I have ol
tarred hare not, or at least not when the
mid wa an American and the bride

pose there Ii no civilised woman In the'
world possessed of so much honorable
freedom as tho American wifo. I say
honorable freodom aa dlstlnmilshlnif her
condition from that of tho women of tho
demi inondo iu Paris and other places
who have secured for themselves a sort
of freodom, or rutlor of lawlessness,
which can certainly not bo styled lion
smote. No, certainly, there is no woman
in tho world with mora xssllitlties of
happinesa before her than nr. American
woman married to a typical American
mau. Thero are other melt in tho world
who make better lovers, ltoinoo, tho pat
tern and model of lovers, could not iov
slbly have toen an American. Othello

wooed or could woo.
Ono can hnrdly imagine General ( 1 rant ,
for Instance, recapitulating his battle
nud making much of his "hairbreadth
escapes by sea and land" for the edifica
tion of n young lady whom ho wished tc
marry. And yet I, for one, would ruthet
have been Mrs. Grant than Mrs. Othello,
or oven Mrs. Romeo Montague, for oven
os tho Moor killed his wifo from jealousy
tho Italian certainly would hnvo neg
lected and slighted his white . rniijj
under tho balcony of somn other Juliet.
Trtio, ho would have exacted her to tnkf
tho sumo liberty so long ns she didn't gel
found out, but that state of things can
hardly be i'IiishciI under tho head ol
happy marriages.
All men of tho Latin races Italians,
Frenchmen, Spaniard Portuguese at c

making. They can look ncross the room
n hundred things more eloquent than
n Snxon could say on tho fairest moon
light night that ever shone. Give him
tho moonlight night, and he uot onl)
looks but speaks liko Atiollo. like the

Is, as nil accounts agree, tho most fas

become too well acquainted with him.
But this irresistiblo Latin lover make
An extremely poor husband. In fact, the
houoymoon is scarcely over tieforo ho re
sumes tho occupation of Invcmnking,
only now thoso glances, thoso whispers,
tl)Oso .adoring protestntlous, nro devoted
to somebody else. He has coursed hit
hare and captured her; ho has chilrmed
tho bird off tho bough and cnged her.
Now ho looks for a haro and a bird who
nro still nt liberty and still can give hlui
tho pleasure of tho chase.
Mako lovo to one's wifel lie laughs iu
good uaturcd contempt nt tho absurd
suggestion, and with a Html twist of hit

leaving la signorn or madamo to past
her lonely hours us sho will.
Aa a general thing sho contrives that
they shall not bo lonely. But, after nil,
this is not tho ideal marriage, .is it!
Now, if tho slgnora or madamo is an
American girl accustomed to an Amer
ican'father and his domestic manners,
be doesn't take tho new ways nt all
kindly, She docs not want to havo some
other woman's husband conio and sentl
mentally console her for tho desertion
of his own spouse. --Although in Rome,
sho declines to do what tho Romans do,
but persists in demanding that Rome
should do ns Now York or Boston oi
Philadelphia does. Sho doesn't succeed
iu creating u new code of international
murriago relations, poor little soul, aud
tho result is, as u usual thing, tragic.
Either she beats or bruises herself tc
pieces in dashing against tho walls ol
the inevitable or sho accepts her fate iu
n, reckless spirit that carries her a great
deal too far. Sho does "console herself
with u vengeance, and misery, wnrfure.
perhaps divorce, perhaps death, are the
results.
But tho more common form of inter
national marriage is uot Isitweeu an
American nud ii Latin, but a sort ol
cousinly alliance between an English,
Irish or Scotch man with the American
girl, whose blood is generally derived
from one or tho other of these divisions
of tho Anglo-Saxon race.
This arrangement does better than the
Latin alliance, for thero are points in
common between the mother country
and her independent daughter which
mako more harmony. Thero is a com
mon language, generally (n common re
ligion, and an unwrittcn'codo of ethic
nnd manners which Is pretty generally
sliared by each. i
Tho British lover and tho American
lover are about on a par, although the
Englishman, ns a gouernl thing, ussuuu-s
ns soon ns ho is engaged a certain air of
authority and proprietorship which the
American never dreams of at any period
of his career ns a lover nnd husband.
I feel suro that In tho English mur
riago servleo tho "obey" is spelled with a
big "O," for it seems tho principal point
of tho bride's now duties, and tho fiancee
is cheerfully ready to begin to practico
her obligations. If she tries to rebel,
her mother aud friends, perhaps her be
trothed himself, call her to account with
tlioMhreat that if sho doesn't take care
she will lose her opportunity. Jack or
Tom or Ned will foel that bo untrnctablo
a girl will make a poor wifo, and he will
be off his bargain.
Say that to an American girl, and
what walls or roofs would contain her
scorn? She would return that young
man's rings and letters before the hour
Was out aud not knW him tho next tint"
she met him. But with the English girl
uiiicrcnv uercuiij nuu tuaurviiivrwi-

her father and mother the standard of

father is a'little Jupiter, and the mother
is aa "ox eyed. Juno" whose principal
virtue 1 amiable submission, and whose
principal study is how, to circniuyeut

Of course tho girl accepts iter father

type of wife, and her character molds it
self insensibly to these limitations and

hor mother, the charming English wife
of an Englishman,
But make tho marriage international,
and the domestic mnchino decllnos to
ran in any such time honored ruts. A
broad gauge engine will not, cannot,
adapt itsolf to a narrow gauge road, and
some fearful jolting, with very likely it
catastropho at tho end, will bo the result
of trying to make it.
Tho Englishman's estimate of women,
hor rights, hor privileges, her duties, is
altogether different from that of an
American. Whatever his outward de
meanor In his own or other countries,
his underlying conviction is that
Woman la ilia lessor niMi;
All tli) psmlun tnntchod with initio

lluiimloil In a hnllotror tirsln.
If the woman is bright, keen nud well
educated, ho looks upon her as n phe
nomenon nud rr.ther undesirable as n
wife. His highest pritlso of hor achieve
ments Is that thoy nro "almost worthy of
a man."
Perhaps for of course neither nil Eng
lishmen nor all Americans follow ono
undovlnting rule perhaps ho does hon
estly admire and appreciate this intellec
tual phenomenon nud wishes to marry
her that is, jf sho has money for not
oven in the sttblimo porto is marriag?
mora of n commercial transaction than
in England. Wnlpolo's famous utter
anco that "every man has his prlco" is
mot applicable to tho matrimonial mni

lishman u fortune (aud sho Is not likely
to become his bride (f sho has none), sho
is expected to relinquish it into his hands
either entirely or with tho reserve of n
certain umouut-settled niton herself nnd
hor children. If tho projtcrty is not of a
nature to lie definitely settled, sho binds
herself to mako over n stated portion of
iter incotno for his sole use, nnd perhaps
in addition alio pays nil tho excuses oil
the menage In fact, nu Luglishman is
not ashamed to nllow his wifo to pay for
his bread nud butter nnd in addition to
irivo him tho inouev to bttv his ciirnrs.
But womon that is to uny, American
women do uot generally caro much'
nbout money and uro very willing to
give it to tho man who professes to love
them and whom they intend to love for
lifo, honor so fnr no ho is worthy of
honor, nnd obey in luvo's sweet humility
so long'ns obedience is tho reasonable
and voluntary expression of love.
But long before tho honeymoon Is
over tho young wifo discovers her mis
take. Tho lovcrliko nttitudo of the Eng
lishman drops nwny liko tho petals of uu
overblown roso nnd leaves nothing but
sturdy wood and pitiless thorns. The
irksome deference ho hns, through the
season of courtship, felt obliged to pay
to tho delicacy or tho prejudices of bis
ftanceo is thrown usidowith the wed
ding coat, nnd the most negligee of
smoKing jackets and slippers are ng

to wait niton him liko n servant whilo
ho lounges upon u sofa; ho lots her car
ry her own wraps aud escort henelf to

that tender deference nnd over present
care, that prevoyance which is so nat
ural to tho American gontlomnn, tho
American husband iu every class, that
American women often fail to appro
ciato it unless through observing or ex
periencing an international marriage
they discover how precious a birthright
they have Hold for a mess of pottage nnd
go mourning nil their lives.
Every rulo bus its exceptions, no doubt,
but os n rule the American husband is
tho best husband in tho world.

Wahiiikmton, March ','. It will be
President Cleveland again tho day after
tomorrow, nnd charming Mrs. Cleveland
will again bo mistress of the White
Houso. But sho is to lo mistress this
time only in name. At least, for an iu
aumiuai ioinvit norm:,
definite period, inch may U short or

dent will use the executive mansion only
fornu olllce, taking up resilience for hint
solf and family elsewhere
Mr Cleveland is always doing some
thing that surprises tho iicoplo, and this
ono or tho least expected "of his deci
sions. It Is a decided novelty to have a
president coino to Washington and live
in uny place but tho executive mansion
or "the president's house." as thoy used
to call It. Never boforo in the history of
the government has a president dono
such a thing and tho good (icoploof tho
capitnl are unable to understand it. Tho
truth is. thoy don't approve it. But Mr.
Clovolund has a way of doing what he
likes without much regard to criticism.
Of course Mr Cleveland may cltaugo
his mind and conclude, after all, to in
stall his household gods in tho mansion
provided for them by tho government.
But he has beon negotiating for a Ic.ibo
of the Admiral Porter houso. and it is
probablo that this mansion already
noted, will hecomo historical. Tho Por
ter house stands on H street. 1)1 blocks
from the executive mansion. It is n
large, brick structure, tho front walls of
which have been painted white. Though
it preseuts a somewhat imiosing appear
ance, it is not u very deslrablo house in
which to ntako a comfortable home. Ac
cording to tho late admiral's servants
and if you want to know what a house Is
go to the cook or the cliamlteriuaid and
not to the real estate uKcut this man-
rWbUion is barely fit to live iu. It is full of
rata, has poor plumbing, is moldy and
generally forlorn,
It is. however, n very richly furnished
houso, containing ns it does the antiques,
curios audsouveuirs gathered by Admiral
THK TAYIjOK OCTAOON.
Porter during his many voyages. Tito
wing at the left of tho picture printed
herewith is u mere entrance to the court
yard nud stables in tho rear, except that
over the entranco is u large room which
Admiral Porter used for many years Ihj
fore his death as un office, it wasa curi
ous old mnk sbon. There Were models

of an old sea dog.
Hero Admiral Porter lived, except at
mcaltimo, working, writing nnd smok
ing. Housed to smoke SO or .10 cigars in
a day and boast of his prowess in that
line as well as of his remarkable agility
and strength at nu udvtlnced age. His
writings brought him in a snug little in
come for several years and helped htm
to maintain such an expensive house.
It is a rather odd circumstance that
this house was built by u colored man
who used to boa slave. His name was
Lee, und after guining his freedom lie
set up in business ns un undertaker and
amassed quite u fortune. If I am not
mistaken, 'he onco lived in the house
himself, und it is a striking commentary
on the possibilities of free citizenship in
this blessed "Country of ours that u dwell
ing built by un emancipated slavo nm
become the home of a president aud
"the little Whito Houso."
Like nearly all tho houses in its neigh
borbood, the Porter mansion lias a his
tory. Many years ago Hamilton Fish
while senator from New York, lived in
it Then two British ministers to thi
capital, one after the other, used it us it
legation house. One was Lord Lyons
and the other Lord Napier. During the
tatter's occupancy the Princo of Wales
visited Washington und waa entertained
by the minister. To this day the resi
dent of the neighborhood tell stories of
the prince' visit Such a great throng
of people rushed to aee the heir" to the
British throne' whenever he appeared in
public that it waa found necessary to
rope off the sidewalk in front of the Por
ter house and to station policemen there
to tee that the crowd kept itself at u re
spectful distance.
Notwithstanding theso precautions the
prince und his retinue mudo their way
with some difficulty from their enrriajre
j to the housts Tho crowd cheered (dm,
and ho lifted his hat in ncknowledgmen
of the complimout, nono of which it
very important snvo fn tho eyes of tin
chappies, who still havo apartments in
tho vicinity of tho houso wbero II, It. II.
tho P. of W. wtw entertained.
Another houso which Mr. Clovolund
has taken a look nt is known ns the Bar
ber castle, standing on tho hill overlook
ing tho city about n mile nnd n half
north of tho executivo mansion. It is a
very handsome house und is surrounded
by spacious grounds. Barring tho dis
tuiico from his office, Mr. Clovolund
would find this n much more desirable
place of residence, in case ho decided to
set up n privuto establishment, than the
Porter mansion. Chief Justico Fullet
lived hero during tho first your ho was in
Washington, and if 1 remember aright
paid several thousand dollars rent. S
S. Cox lived for n time in the sumo houso
nnd converted it into a sort of Turkish
bazaar, whoro his many friends loved to
sit nbout of nu evening on oriental rugs
nnd smoko their unrgiles whilo listen
ing to Cox's stories of his experiences a.t
minister to Constantinople. Iu the iut
modinto vicinity of tho Barber houso
uro tho houses of Mrs. John A. Logan
nnd ox-Senator Henderson of Missouri,
tho latter being actually n castle, aud a
very largo nud handsome ono nt that.
Thero are now only threo houses In
Washington, besides tho executive man
sion, iu which presidents of the United
States havo lived. One is the famous
Octagon house, which now stands aban
doned and almost iu ruins in a quarter
of tho city no longer fashionable. It
was known as tho Tayloo mansion nud
for ninny years was n social center.
After tho British burned the Whito
Hutibo iu 1811 President Madison took
up his rcsidenco in tho Octagon house
nnd mado his office thero ns well, Here
ho held his New Year's levee in 1915, and
rV
RED TOP.
in the big circular room over the rn
tranco hall, now inhabited only by bats
and rats, he signod the treaty of Ghent
in February of tho same year.
In this room Dolly Madison hung the
portrait of Washington which she had
rescued from the Whito Houso before
her hasty flight before tho foe. On the
day tho British arrived in Washington
Mrs. Madison had issued invitations for
a dinner party, us it wus not bollovt-d
tho enemy would reach the city thai
evening. When it was reported that the
invaders had reached Capitol hill, sin
collected a few personal articles, cut
from its frame the famous Washington
portrait that hung iu tho east room and
fled Tito British troops found a fine
dinner awaiting them and proceeded to
do justico to it.
Tho second houso in which president
have lived is the cottage at tho soldiers
homo, S) miles from the Whito House It
is a pretty place und there n number of
presidents hnvo, with their futnihes
passed the summer season, Buchanan
was the first to use this cottage as a sum
mer resort nnd Lincoln, Grant. Hayes
nnd Arthur have followed his example
This cottage occupies the highest spot of
ground in the District of Columbia am.
affords un excellent view of the Capital
City.
The fourth houso to be mentioned ttt
this connection is tho now famous ib i
