THE FIRST LADY OF THE LAND The I'rcnldcnl'M Bnlnrjr How the Mnjnrltjr of Our Chief Magistrates Have HtriiKRleii With Poverty 1'ubllo Mfc. [ tl'rltletior Uic Omaha i'midiy Ht ] In thu midst of a park between the trunsiir.y and the building containing the war , stnto and navy departments , with tlio rivurus its rear vlow , Lafayette park , in which General Jackson In bronze sits upon an impassible horse , facing it stands the white house. It is 170 feet long , 80 feet wide , and three stories high. The Hrat or basement story U devoted to thu culinary and laundry departments. The second story contains a vast vestibule , Hanked on cither side by waiting rooms , oucuing respectively into the cast room , tlin green room , the red room , and the state und private din ing rooms. In the third story are lifteen rooms , devoted to olllces and private chambers for the president and his family. Overhead is an attic , surmounted by u copper roof which continually leaks. Sail up the Hudson on a summer day , ami you may count twenty houses on its bunks of liner architectural beauty than the whitu house , fifty better furnished. Vet the path to this house is strewed with many disappointed hopes anil ambitions , and a broken heart or two. Kesurreet and verify the skele tons of Webster and Cl.ty , of Urrcken- ridge and Douglns , of Grecley and Han- rock , and ask tlium what it is to have run and lost the race for the white house goal , ami they svill tell you it is to suffer pairi , the smart of which burns for life. To be n four years' tenant of this house , rent free , is to bo the head of 50,003,000 people , and the only qualilications for the tenancy asked by the constitution are American birth and an ago of thirty-live years , fourteen of which must bo actual resilience of the country. To reacli this august personauo. to stand in his pres ence , to grasp Ins hand , but little cere mony is required. Through the open iron gates on I'KNNSt I.VANIA A VKXl'tt and up the semi-circular Hugging , by blooming bhrub and llowcr pusses the plain American cltl/.on in quest of the president. Under the pil lared porch and into the vestibule hall with a pointed Jellerson quill in hand at one end , lie walks unchallenged by any sentinel gun in hand , unmolested by any policeman. The loreigner no tices the absence of these functionaries , the American citizen never looks for their presence. His card is requested by an attendant in better clothes and with easier manners than the ordinary door servant , who disappears requesting the visitor to wait until the president is made aware of his presence , and so irracious is the attendant that the visitor feels at homo und during the waiting interval peeps in at the east room , charmed with the grand glass , chandeliers , the heavy nlato mirrors and the life si/.ii picture of Mrs. Washington , "dear P.itsey. " as tier husband's letters always called her. The attendant returns to inform thu visitor that the president at that particular hour is engaged ; the attendent knew he would bo engaged and disappeared simply as a mutter of form , for if the president were at the disposal of ovnryon'o who called to see him us a curiosity arithmetical calcu lation will dumnnstratu his leisure mo ments during the presidency. To balance the deprivation the plain American citi zen is .shown through the various colored rooms and emboldened by the liberty granted , he requests to see the bedrooms of the president's private family , which request is politely denied. The plain American citizen may como with other plain American citizens in a body , called a delegation , from a dis tant state , to urge the claims of some oilier eiti/en for an appointment as post master of a country town. At a given hour , definitely appointed by previous arrangement , the delegation , attired in new clothes bought for the occasion , for the event will forever bo a marked page in their life history , seek the white house , and are ushered into the private olllce of the president. A mutual introduction is given by the president's private secre tary , with a word of explunution-for the interview. There stands the riCKSIUKNT OP TIIK UN1TKU STATES. not half as pompous as the chief of a de partment , not a bit better drowsed , worse than thousands of men scnn at any hour on Pennsylvania avenue , ordinarily with nothing extraordinary in grace or person to distinguish him from an bumble citi- 7on. Then thu spokesman of the delega tion begins his c.irofidly-propured speech , the work ot days ; if from Vnginia or Kentucky , it In long and solemn , with nothing loft understood , as the noniinu- tive sometimes in a sentence ; if from the north or west , it is crisp and business like. If , during its recital , the speaker , abashed , hesitates , the president could suggest the supplying word , like the prompter at the footlights , the cue , tor the president has heard the self sumo spo3ch a hundro i times before. If the delegation imagine that the lurking smiles of the president's countenance means conviction of the reasons deduced by the speaker and con strue it into a committal favorable to the result of their errand , it is because the delegation tire novices in seeking presi dential patronage. Ho may bo thinking of a thousand things other than the sub ject before him and the bmilo is stereo typed , only indicative of the desire to make things pleasant all around. At the conclusion of the speech the president receives the voluminous pupors.potitions and endorsements , enough to paper the grenn room , bows the delegation out amid their hourly good wishes for his health and thu success of his administra tion and then reads the voluminous papers ? No ; lie quietly sends them to the postmaster general , and that ollicer in dun time gives the matter attention. And so go all communications addressed to the president soliciting otlico. to the secretary of the department in which the ollico is sought. On stated days , on certain hours , in order to exhibit himself , to the thousands of strangers attracted to Washington , thereby satisfying "American curiosity and democracy as well as economizing time , the president appears in the east room and submits to the greatest of Amer ican burdens , hand shaking. One by one he grasps the hands of the crowd assem bled , and to the idle looker-on at the show , the scone is a pantomino illustrat ing the declaration , "All men are born free and equal. " To these informal hand-shakings no initiation is necessary , the general public is welcome ; cleanly dre.ss and good behavior are the only re quisites for admission. Democracy was strained to its utmost on one of these hand-shaking occasions lone ago , by the appearance of a cartman in overalls , with checkered jumper , and muddy boots , who grr.sped the president's hand in Ids own honest but dirty palm before the doorkeeper could overtake him. Dur ing the congressional season from six tea a dozen nightly receptions culled levees are given at the white house , the number depending on the length of the session. From llvehundrod to three thousandpcoplo attend these levees , which , like the hand shaking reception to-day , are informal , the invitation being general. Each ona is presented to the president , und his wife assisted'by a low mvlted friends , by the marshal ! ol the district of Columbia. After TUB HAKD SHAKING t'EllFOHMANCK , Rucsta are frco to wander at will through tlio spacious drawing rooms , their prom enade being cnllrencd bv the red coated Marino band , wafting on their strains , mournful memories of Gnetnno Canlsc. the Musis and the Surdos and a score of other Italian musicians who were brought over to America's capital in the early part of the century to found musi cal art in the organization of a national band , and then thrown penniless on the world with rhnjurninj ? discords of broken promises in their ears instead of music , because no appropriation was made to cstabllsn musical art at the capital. Thu Washingtotnun is conspicuously absent from tbcso lovces unless he have friends from a distance visiting him , to whom ho desires to show the sights of the town. The crowds are usually strangers and in their far-away homos for months after wards they delight listening ears , telling the wonders of n presidential levee , and how they shook hands wit lithe president. Formerly at these lovces refreshments were distributed to the guests , but the hospitality proved ruinous to carpets worn out by crumbs pulverl/.ed under foot and upholster stained with spilled wine and the custom was abolished , stopping quite a leak in the president's household expenses. New Year's day is open house day at the president's. In regular turns , ollicially announced , the supreme court judges , the army and ollicers in full uniform , the foreign lega tions in court costume , senators find members , and the great American public call upon the president und his household and to thu musio of the marine band always on hand.wisli him joy and happiness to the accompani ment of the usual hand shako. These New Year calls were introduced by Mrs. Dolly Mncfison , and have never been omitted from her day to this. The siirht of the foreign ministers dressed in the full court costumes appropriate to Mm respective nations which they represent , at these gatherings , is picturwine. On January 1 , 1830 , the Kus > < tn ntl trench ministers with their legations declined attending the presidental reception on account of the promiscuous crowd as sembled , and addressed Henry Clay.tlien secretary of state , requesting him to ask the president to name another day on which they might call to renew the friendship of the governments which they represented towards the United States. John Quinoy Adams , then president , de clined tiie request as unreasonable , which expression translated into linn diplomatic English infant , impertinent. Thus America has survived without Rus sian and French assurances of friendship offered on New Year's day 1820. For the performance of these multi plied byA A HUNIIKKD OTIIKU DUTIES , the principal of which is the veto or ap proval of the laws wheil passed by both douses , the American public up to March ! 1 , 187H , allowed the president a salary of $25,000 a year. In round figures that sum is $2.0Si.ii : : ; ) a month or $08.4 ! ) and a tnllo over three mills a day. A goodly salary , say you , from which the president must save enough to die noli. Listen ! How can ho ? At a cost unknown to the public , he maintains the domestic part of the white house , paying from his salary the retinue of servants from the chief in the kitchen to the chambermaid on the stairs. The equal of kings and emperors , ho is expected to maintain the greatness of the American people as their representative , by the entertain ment of the foreign legations stationed at the capital. State dinners form the medium of this entertainment , about a do/an of which are given a season. No small affairs , these state dinners for the palate of your foreign ministers is a household god fed over on nectar and ambrosia. The wines must bo the choicest , all real , no imitation ; the dishes filled with courses of culinary excellence and tln > service unexceptionable. From ? rii)0 ) to $1,000 , according to the number of g'lests invited and the generosity of tlm host , each of these dinners costs , this bills ot which are paid from the president's salary. Any stint in these state enter tainments or indeed in any item of his household expenses , while enabling the the president so economizing to save a portion of his salary lias likewise sub jected him to the reproach of the people for meanness. Call the roll of presidents and count the names of those dying lieli on the presidential salary saved. The public SKKVICKS OK WASHINGTON to his country , both as commander-in- ehief and president , entailed only loss , but ho died with $530,000. How ? His marriage to the rich widow , Mrs. ( Justus , nugumonted his own wealth in 1759 , $100.000 , which carefully invested in Ohio lands and employed as capital in tobacco planting enabled him to die in 1709 the richest of all the presidents. The elder and younger Adams , thanks to Yankee economy , did save something from the white houso. On the very Fourth of July upon which Jefferson died , Governor Harbour , at a public celebration , solicited subscriptions to relieve his poverty , and Mr. Hush , in the house , called attention to his needs. Madison sought his estate , Montpelier , and the sale of a tr.ict or two of its land with accompanying .slaves , as the occasion required , relieved his most pressing needs tor life , but want over took his widow. Monroe .just escaped a debtor's prison in Virginia , and lived the balance of his life and humble pen- bioner on his son-in-law , Sam ( louver- nour , in New York. Jackson exhausted his salary and drew largely upon hispri- vato means while president , and his sub sequent life at the Hermitage was a struggle against debts contracted for himself and others According to Clay , Van Huron dispensed "in the noble man sion , one worthy the residence of the chief magistrate ot u great peoplea gen erous und liberal hospitality. " Ho was shrewder tliyn Jackson in Ins estimate of expenditures , and managed to die in comfortable circumstances on his own estate at Kindcrhook. Neither Harrison nor Taylor lived long enough to earn the full presidential salary of $100,000 , but of their successors , Tyler's carlv investment in western lands which doubled in value , was his main financial stay after his re tirement , and Killmoro was just u little crumped. Polk and Pierce were com pelled to Tt'KNIO HAIII ) WOHIC for maintenance after their four voars" 8'juson in the white house , and Huch- anan , well , tip one has over inquired about him , while Lincoln's complications are best told in the pitiful tale of distress in his widow's jettor begging a pension. Healiz'.ng ' the inadequacy of $25,000 a year for the sup port of the president , congress doubled the salary on March ! i , 1ST ! ! , dating its commencement from noon ot the follow ing day. This nicety in date was a rnso to avoid the constitutional requirement , forbidding the increase or diminution of the president's salary during the period of hisclcction. Ho had been re-elected , and the increase was really of his own salary , but his friends claimed that the period of his second term ot ollieo did not begin until after his inauguration , and the increase was for another term tlnin the one ho was serving. Analyticul minds reason clo soly ; veryclo oy ) 'hero ; just twnnty-four hours in ti'o measure of time. Whether American presidents for the next hundred vcars may grow richen on fifty thousand u year , let the tale of the historian tell. Certainly in the past , life in the white house has not proved money making. The wife of tiio president is the most important personage of his household , and by courtesy is called TIIK KIlbTI.AT > Y OK TIIK LAND. She is the social queen of thu country , and her sway is despotic. She is in power a feinalu Jove , whose nuJ is ' 'tho stamp of Into" to many a scheme seeking presidential sanction through the medium of her influence , and many n costly present ncoonip.inied by a letter full of rounded sentences from some political aspirant , delicately telling her how beau tiful and how worthy of her station she Is , finds its way to nor presence , and in reciprocation she is expected to toll her husband how sadly the country needs the services of the.sender. If she have wis dom with her understanding , she soon learns to grow suspicious of presents and declines thorn , like Kncs fearing the gift-bearing Greeks. An invitation from her is a command of obedience , taking precedenceof nil others , and being i suf- llccnt causa ( to break any engage ment of a social nature previously made. Decline attendance at a card party at the house of the chief justice , when invited , if your ! Inclination * suggest , send your regrets to the wife of the secretary of state , stating your Inability to bo pres ent , as requested , at her dinner , and so ciety will forgive you ; but adopt a like course in return to an invitation from the first lady of the land and you commit a sin unpardonable in the social heaven. Another evidence of her power i ? her ex emption from returning any call made upon her. Day by day during the season , from the windows of tiio white house thu president's wife may see carriages rolling along , containing the wives of supreme court justices , cabinet bllieors , congress men and foreign ministers , engaged in the duty of distributing cards , in ac knowledgement of like favors showered upon them , and , laughing in her jleovo , she thanks the social law relieving her from such dreary drudgery. Hut for these and a hundred other social Immu nities the first lady is yiAjeeted to counterbalancing annoyances. She has no pnvacj in her household , for the , white house Is lint a hotel , with < American public as its guests , nut } she is but the figure be hind the tootlight for a stare through the oi : ra glass. How she talks , walks , dresses , and eats , her incomings , anil outgoings , her slightest look or gesture , all become gossip spread in the journals throughout the land , and what reality lucks in making the article sensational , invention supplies Woo unto her if she blunders in the slightest form of social etiquette , for then the press in opposition to her husband's administration , deride him through her , while the ladies of the reigning cabinet ridicule her among themselves , envious of her position , su perior to theirs. On the authority of Justice Miller of the supreme court.most ot the presidents have been men of me diocrity. Their biographers say that most of them M'liur.r.i.r.n WITH I'ovr.iirv in their early youth , llappiiv foi the country , such a condition of things was so , for the hturdiness of character ac quired in the struggle , developed an independence both of thought and char- actor. Their wives were their help mates in their early manhood and learned liftlo ol the forms of court eti quette to lit them for their future sphere. Hence the mistakes of the first ladies of the land have caused foreign ombassa- dors used to court polish , to howl witli indignation. The Martha Wnslungtnna , Dolly Madisons and Harriet Lanes have been rare stars in the white house lir- mamcnt. Single ladjcs listen ! If covetous of tiio honor of being mistress of the white house , /iiscouutonance matrimonial intentions on the part of the average man to await a president's proposal , let us say to you in1 all sincerity , don't. A four years , at host an eight years reign is brief ; your crown surrendered to your successor , you pass into the world unno ticed , and into history unknown but in name , unions by extraordinary talents yon have mudo yourself famous , and hhoilld your ox-president husband die in later life and leave you nothing , the in- lluenco of your former position may se cure you a government clerkship , noth ing more. _ ItlCIjJOIOUS.

TBE TEMPTATIONS OF GIRLS , Ella Wheolcr on the Dangers That Threaten Young Women. THE VARIOUS ALLUREMENTS. Towns AVlckcd , Hut the Country Not Altogether Moral Whnra 1'arenta Make Mlstnkot How Young Women Are Tempted. H'l Uttn for the Sunday lift by Fllii H'liccltr 1HI- cor. Copy ) IflMftf . All my life girls have mndo mo their confidante. When I was myself a girl , they sought mo for sympathy and consolation. Since my marriage they have como to me for advice and assistance. It will bo impossible in this article to more than touch upon the various phases of temptations ( o which girls are sub jected in tide bad hut jolly old world. In fiction and in journalism , the country is always represented us a pluco morally and physically healthful for girls. Tlio city alone is supposed to teem with temptation for the innocent and ignorant. Without doubt the town oll'erj more opportunities for folly and wrongdoing. Yet human nature is the same , in its varying moods , its passions , and its weaknesses the world over ; and there are phases of and causes for temptations in the rural regions unknown to the city- bred girl. Youth is youth wherever yon find it. Young blood llow.s swift and warm through pulsing veins. Young hearts long for companionship , young bruins indulge in vague sweet dreams of pleas ures yet to como. A healthful young girl can no more be content with prosaic duties , without one day of pleasure to brighten her life , than a meadow lark can bo content in a cage. To attend faithfully to the most commonplace tasks all day , to hear no word of praise for her labors ; and to retire at 8 o'clock on a moonlight evening , is ii'.tlo less than a tnrtnre to a girl full of sentiment und undefined longings. Yet this is the existence of hundreds of country girls. The parents regard an hour .spent in pleasure us so much lost timo. They ex act industry and obedience from their olispring , invite no confidences , and ob ject to late hours or merrymakings. The young heart soothes in silent rebellion , and learns to hate its lot , and lives in hope that something will happen to give color to lifo. If the city idler , or the am- orus farm hand , or thu married seducer happens to Imd her in that rebellions mood , why then wo road in the news papers an item about the "Strange Disappearance " "Unaccountable Mesal appearance , or liance , " or "Shocking Depravity" of a hitherto respectable young girl. Thu heart-broken parents are crushed with shame and sorrow. They cannot understand why their beloved daughter should go astray. Ah ! if tiiey hail only shown her demonstrations of their love , they had only sought to know her secret thoughts and longings , if they made an etlort once a month to give her n few hours of pleasure , she need not have gone ust ray. are never satisfied with the love which only bestows food and bodily covering , and linds no tender expression. They crave something more than "good cure. " Thu Haltering praises of an unworthy admirer elton win a foolish girl's heart , which starves in the atmosphere of un demonstrative parental uli'oetion. I personally knew u case which illus trates this point , A young lady of relinemcnt , but born with that passionate love of music , color , and perfume which is so dangerous to its possessor , was compelled to live the most prosaic of lives. Her mother was a de vout Christian , whoso only command was that her daughter should attend church Sundays. Her father was a domestic tyrant who desired the lights out at 0 o'clock , and objected to Ins daughters entertaining company. One superb summer evening which the full moon rendered a pallid day she walked down the quiet street to talk with a young lady friend over the gate. "I have been in the kitchen all day , " she suid , "and I am just crazy for a drive in this moonlight. I teased father to take me , but ho went off to bed , and told mo that was where I'd better go. 1 know I couldn't sleep , so I stole off to see yon. " Scarcely had she ceased speaking , when u handsome stranger passed , driving a line equipage. "Oh " her friend "there , whispered , is that handsome commercial man ug.iin. I saw him down at the store to-day. Ho tried to flirt with mo. " "I wi.sh ho would usk mo to take a drive , " said our desperate young lady. "J would go in a minute. " THKJIANhTAKKD at the young ladies with bold , admiring eyes. There was something in the ex cited , passionate face of one which gave him courage to speak. Ho lifted his hat and suid politely : "A lovely evening for a drive. I wish you young ladies- uould take pity on a lonely follow , and accompany mo. " The calmer of the two girls turned away without replying. The other hes itated ; the man saw his advantage , pressed his invitation , und despite her friend's urgent entreaties she drove oft" with the stranger. She returned in half an hour declaring sl.i , hud done a terri ble rash thing , but that .sho hud brokojH the monotony of lifo at least , and ' u one need over know. " But it was found out , of course ; the stranger boasted of his conquest , and the girl's reputation was tarnished forever. Parents , in the country especially , are too much afraid of praising their chil dren. 1 believe it is butter to lisk spoii- ing a child than to starve it to death. I have noticed that children who uro freely praised for every task well performed und for ovorv dutiful act seldom bring sorrow into their parents' lives. Mothers are too reticent with daughters on subjects of vital importance to our sex. Curiosity to investigate the mys terious , causes many girls to read unhealthful - healthful books , or converse with un worthy people who excite their imugina- tiona and tarnish the purity of their minds. In the country , children ramble homo from school together promiscuously , and over creative Natnro reveals many of her mysteries to wide open young eyes. If mothers would satisfy the natural curi osity of young girls regarding uU those mysteries , and touch them to regard the wonders of nature witli reverence , the temptation to personal investigation would bo removed. City streets teem witli cheap opportun > ities for Ilirlutinns with unknown men who designate themselves as "nmshors. " Only the silliest or most depraved of our sex risk lives and reputations uy .respond ing to them. A lady is seldom accosted or troubled by these men in tlio day-lit streets of New } ork. A humUomo young girl who earns her living by newspaper work , which culls her into all sorts of business ollices , recently told mo that she hud never received an insinuating or cmbar- rasing word or look in all her career. TIIK rUOKUSsION OK AX ACTUKSs is supposed to bo more fraught with temptations than other avocations , but I no not know this to bo true.

"Well , you know what some girls do to improve tboir situations , " ho said , and left her to consider ins words. Without doubt the managers of some theatres do abuse and misuse their power. Two pitiful cases have been recited tome mo personally within two years. ONi : I'KKITY VOUNU WOMAN" , who had been deserted by bcr good-for- notbing dissolute husband , resolved to make her really line voice a moans of support. After much bard study and months of constant appearance in a small part , she bogged her munugor to give her a trial in n more ambitious role. He answered her that .she w.is capable of better things , but he refused to advance her unless .she sacrificed her self-respect to him. She is still appearing in tier un important role. Another more recent case was that of a young girl scarcely out of short dresses. She was almost born on tlio stage , and has played youthful parts from her child hood. She is pure as a lily bud , und has blossomed into a lovely young woman who is anxious to make a success of her profession. When she asked u well- known manager to give Itor his inllucnco IK ; promised to do so on condition that she gave him her honor in return. Surely no hell fire could be too hot for such men. The girl is an orphan , and obliged to earn her living by the profes sion in winch she was reared. The most dangerous of all temptations is that which comes through lovo. I know personally one ease where u young man carefully and delicately won the confidence and gratitndo and love of a working girl by thn most gorilla of ac tions and a repetition of thoughtful kindnesses. Then , when ho had made himself necessary to her lifo , ho gave her the alternative ot sharing his unlawful companionship or never seeing his face again. The girl hud the strength to send him away , but she never recovered from thn shock to mind and body. Men tempt women through their vanity and affections. Women tempt men through their emotions or their ambitions. A clever young woman was desirous of living in luxury and respectability. She worked night and day to improve herself , and became a brilliant musician und linguist Then she threw herself in the way of a man who possessed money , but whoso social ambitions were balked by and ex ceedingly commonplace and uneducated wife. The man made comparisons , and finally fell into tlio snare. The wife was divorced , and the scheming youg woman shortly filled the vacant position. I do not bolit'vn that thu Creator made man any more wicked than woman. Jtoth sexes Invo thu same impulses and emo tions. Women are compelled to fight against their own weaknesses , and to combat thoio of men. Where ten women are tempted , two only full. Where ten men are tempted , two only htand : Ami yet wo uro called the weaker sex If the penalties for folly were as severe for men as for women , and if the world demanded us high morality from them , they would bo us good us wo are.
