Therefore Mademolaello Rachel was highly ploased Lu tho Summer of 1862, aha received an invlta to act the court at Potsdam, whore the Emperor Nicholas waa Just then staying aa tho Ktug of Prussia' guest. The famous actress had been desired recite several scents from French pray, but neither costume uor In company of other actors, fine there I arrived attired iu black, tho moat cosily laca cjv her beBullIul arina and shouldcra bus lbs gentleman who, by the King's orders, was at tho ta to reooivo her, expressed his doubts whether tho and imperial party would not object to so nielau and ui 'tirnf ill an apparel; and on reaching tho palace, the artist waj kindly invited by thj Jnlo Cnarles (sister to tbo Emprota Augusta, aud wife tho Emperor's brother) to wear a few gayer looking things of hor own.

Mrs. Msdiaon carried in her hani une lace uuk protlncod from her pocket a servicoably large bandaa na siylng, "ThiB, Mr. Clay, is for rough work," at the same tima applying it to hor nose, "and this," meaning her lace handkerohlof, "la my polisher." Bo droll was manner and so amazed was her elegant esoort that oompany about them roarod with laughter. Mr. Madison was a silent, grave man, whoso natnio relieved by a vein of quiot good humor, which In momenta of relaxation gave an inaiprossiblo charm his prosonco.

A statiaman, lull ol occupation and mighty cares, he could not alwaya descend to the graceful littio aocompilBhments which were attractive to gonerally, and honce ho waa not so universally admired by women as his charming wife was by gon tloinan but nothing gave him more pleasant Batiatac than to feel that Mrs. Madison could do credit to in the drawing room, and ho was willing to be banished to his Cabinet. Mr3. Madison was thirty seven yoara of age whon became lady of tho Whito House, and was extremely youthful in appearance. She had but one child, a by a former marriage.and was blessed with wealth, and domestio felicity.

With all her appreciation tho beautiful sho was not oxtravagaut. Like most Virginians, sho dclightol iu company, and her houso the most hospilablo abode in Washington during years that hor huaband lived there as Mftnbor ol Congress, and later as Secretary of Btaio under President Johnson. Hor table was her pride, and the BUporabundance of dishes and their size was a subjeot rldiculo to a foreign minister during Jafferson's Administration, who obsnrvod, "that it was more like a harvost homo supper than tho entertainment of a Secretary of State." Sho board of this audalmilar remarks, only observed with a "that she thought abundance was preforable to olegance; that circumstances formed ous.toma and oastoms formed tastes! as tho profusion bo repugnant to foreign ouatoma from tbo happy circumstance of the superabundance and prosperily of our country, she did not hesitate to sacrifice tho delicacy of F.urnpcan tasto for tho elegant but mora Ilboral fashion of Virginia." Mr. Madison was elected President in 1810, and in June. 1812.

war was declared with Great Britain. Wash ington waa attacked and fell into the hands of the British, and tho President and official, and a large number of residents of tho Capital rotlred to George first and then to Virginia. Geueral BoaJ, who commandod tho British troops, pernilttei many depredations to be committed, among others the setting Are tho Whito Busi. Just as Bbc was leaving the Wbito House Mrs. Madison remembered that the large portrait of Washington, painted by Stuart in part, and completed by in danger of destruction determined to save it.

The servants or the houso broke with an ax tho heavy gilt frame, and it was takou' down unharmed and Bout by a trusty servant across' Potomac Entering her carriage which was waiting, she was drivon rapidly to Georgeiowo, and from thonce aha wont to Virginia, where sha joined Mr. Madison and tha mombors of the Cabinet who wore there. The White House waa ransacked by aoldlors from collar to garret, aftt which tho torch was applied, and furniture, winea, stores and family treasures were destroyed. The building, being of stone, could not bo burned, but the interior was ruined. The return of Prosidout and his wile to Washington followed after retreat of the British, aud they lived in a house called "the Octagon," situated on the noitheast oornor Now York avonuo and Eightoonth stroat, until the Whito was repairod.

Afru. Alsdisoa was utten in Washington alter the death of hnr husband, and aa late as tho time of Mr. Polk's Administration attended rocoptions at the Whito Houso. Sho died in that city in 1849. MRS.

JAMES MONBOE. Laura O. Holloway in her book, "The Ladles of tha Whito House," from which (ho facto narrated in this article aro culled, rclatas an incident connected with Monroe'3 life wbicl had not been published pra viously. Hor husband was appolntol Minister to France at tho time that Lafayette was languishing in Austrian priBon. His ostatos had beon conflscatoJ, he was watting away Irom tho rigors of a connoe mont remarkable lor its brutal severity.

Later hl wife imprisoned and the two youngest of their children shared her onfluement. Tho Manjuis do Ltfaytto adored by AmsrioanB, and tho lu dignities helped upon bis heroic wifo could not ba borne In patijnee by Amoricaj Minister aud his wifo. They felt that death of a martyr would follow the Imprisonment MadJuio Lafayolto, aud they dotermlnoi to rescue her. The popltton America had Just assumed anion v. nations of tbo earth, and tbo respect engen lero her auccosa, rendered her ministers iu foivigu countries objects of special attontion and rogir.l.

When Mr. Monroe decided to ris'x by sending his wife to see Madanio Lafayetto, ho appreciated tho decided effect it would havo for good or evil, no well know that either it would meet with signal success and hoof bouoflt tahia unfortunate friend, or render her slight claim to ciomency yet moro desperate. Talisicd his feelings were, ho determined to riak the die, and Mrs. Monroo was connultei lu rogard to the pi in. Sue concurred in hor husband's plan and undertook tho difficult mission.

Tho story is laid as follows by Mrs. Holloway Aa the carriage of tho American minister, adorned with all tho outward emblems of rank, halted before the oolranco to tho prison, the ktoper advanced to tho object of the visit. Mrs. Monroe, with firm etep and steady voico alighted and made known her bustiio'is, and, to hor surprUo, was mductod to the re ception room, while tno otuciai reureu io u'aao nuunu her requeBt. Her hoan beat loudly as ahoal nu llstoued the tread of th jailur as ho id liio iieavy door and pasBei down the long hall whloh aopara tho cells Alter a lapse of time, which to ono in har nervous state Bouwed au ago, sbo lizard ths footst 'ps returning, and boou the opening of thj ponderous door discovered to her astonished the pre3euc3 of tho emaciated prisoner, aaiisied bv her guard.

Tho emotion of tho Marcblonoss was touching in the extromc, and alio sank at tho jet of lira. Haaros, unablo to hor Joy. All day ehe had beou expecllug tho sumruona to prepare for her execution, and whon the silence of ho" cell was disturbed by the approach of tho oens d'aruM, hor last hope waa fast dnparting. of lb cruel aunouueomant the assurance that a visitor awaited her primes in the receiving room of tho prison, and on finding in that visitor the American Ambassadress, tha representative of her husband's adopted homo, her loug pant feelings found relief in 60UJ. Tho reaction was su bleu, aud the shock moro than her feeble frame couli bear.

Tho presenco of tha sentinils rrocluded all efforts at conversation, and both hesitate to peril the frail chaDCO ol life, or to abilBe tho uuhoarl of privilege of an interview. After a painful Btay or abort dor.it.ou Mrs. Sfonroo roue to rcitr. hor file. id a voic audiblo to hor listeners, fc whom it was intended, that sbo would call the following and hastened to relievo the anxiety ol her liu3liiud.

Madame Lafayette's loug dolaved execution had unnn. and that vorv afternoon was to have lwhoade.1, but the unexpected "sit the iniuisier's wife altered the minds of the oflioials, and ijreatly to Ii ah'i u.is rt'J a Iho nt it morn ing aftor an iniprUonm ut of twenty two months.

They re not niimiciirul or the feelings with which Ibe people of the United St.ites looked upon her the Maniniu Do Lafayette.

Mr. Monroe was recalled shortly ailei this event and returned to Now York. While the American pople indorsed has cjurso abroad, ho American Oovcrnmeat was not mcluieJ to needlessly offend the that wore," and he was stiper.soe.lc I.

JOHN QUINCi ADAMS. Mrs. At'am was tho sixth in tho succession of ocen patite of the Exeoutivo mansion of the nation, and ahe was the last of the woulon of the iiovoiuuon wuu ueiu that high place A now generation had sprung up in the forty nine years of independence, an 1 alter her retirement youugor aspirants claimed Iho honors. Mrs. Adams was a daughter of Mr.

Johnson, cf Maryland, who at tho breaking out of the Revolution, was living In England. He was a firm patriot and removed with hia family to Nantes, in France, when war TTfOij declared. After the war he was Consular Agent for the United States at Loudon, and there in 1707 bin daughter Louisa waa married to John Quincy Adams. Whan her husband was appointed by President Malison Miuialor to Russia Mrs. Adams, who was then a America, accompaniod him.

Mr. Adams was cue ot the Commissioners at Giant, in 1814, and Mrs. Adams waa left in St. Petersburg, the condition of Europo was such at that time li.at.it waa deemed wisest for har to remain there, having lived thora Are years, and fueling at home. The (top son of President Madison, Payne Todd, was connected with tho American Legation and sbo was not wholly unprotected.

Her husband wont from Ghent to Paris and there she waa permitted to Join wuiuu sho did, reaching ihere on tho evening of theiletof March, 1815, immediately after that of tho memoraDle arrival of Napoleon and the flight of tho Bpurbons. She wia an.eyo wllneea of the events of the hundred daya, and lived In tho midst of great ehanges. Bho saw Napoleon leave Parti with his great army, the idol of the paoplo, and, remained in Pane until after hu defeat at Waterloo. Bho then went to, London with her husband who bad received (he appointment of Minister to England. In 1825 Adams became Prceidout, and during his administration Lafayette vlsltod America.

Mrs. Adams, pcrhspa moro than any other woman of the Revolution not excepting ths first Mrs. Adams lived a career aUke remarkable and unusual. Her husband waa mo most jenrncu man who has so far occupied the Presidential chair, and no American woman had. enjoyed groater advantages the way of trwel and social position.

worldly pleasures, and her stay in the White Houso waa marked by a modest avoidance of all save the most formal and unavoidable entertainments. She lived in Washington fifteen years after her retirement from the While House, while her hustaod. waa in Congress, making her home In a pleassnt house owned by them on I street, BACMTEZ, JJL.CZBOH.

Mrs. Washington, being first who in Araorica hold the high post she fltieJ for olght yoara, is always mentioned first in any Bkotoh or conversation relating to her Bucooasors. But ecciinlcsUr speaking sbo was never a "Lady of tho Whito House," for tlio White Houbo was not thousbt cl when she oama to Now York as tho wife of the first Prosldont, and all tho acquaintance whicb aho had with that place wsa of a dUajroaable forest through which shopaased going to Alexandria. The flrat year of Washington's Administration the scat of government waa removed to Philadelphia, and there, in a house on Market atroet, bauvoon Fiftn aod Sixth, owned by Mr. Robort Morria, Mr.

aud Mrs. Washington commoncod housekeeping. Tha house was plainly not gorgeronsly furnished, for those dajB democratic principles ware Beveroly ad hered to, and nothing that savored of Eugllsn arutoc waa toiorateu in ojuciais, Mrs. wasmngiou muveu lurniture from Now York, and what did service io mnnnlnn the President's house No. 3) was counted altogether aultable lor their homo, When Mrs.

Washinglon bad returned from a hasty to Mount Vernon she found the Congress in session tho city was full of people who expooled to enjoy a season. The first lovee was hold in November, 1789, constantly thereafter during tlio aoason tho President's house was oponod for a public reception of guests. Tho imposing dlguity of Washington made social gatherings so atlfl and formal as to render them anything but pleasant. Tho novelty ot the position was 'enough of ltBaf to render peoplo constrained, and Mr. and Mrn.

Washington were boats' to help guests overcome awkwardness. At her receptions Mm. Washington always sat, and the guests wero arrangod in a oircle, round which the Prcaidont passed, speaking kindly to one. It may well b3 imagined that thora were fewer vleitors on suoh oooasions than attond the Presidential receptions nowadays. Mrs.

Waahioglon did taw of her aucoasBorB have found it poBsiblo to returned calls, and every third day she would set on her rounds. She would always go in her largo oarnago, with a footman standing on the Utah seat at baok, holding on by strapB fastenod in tho roof of vehicle. When she roached a house where she wished to call the footman would climb down from his high place and knbek lonuly on tho door, announcing "Mrs. Washington." Then when tho door was opened her he would return, let down tbo stops of the carriage and assist her to the entranco ot tbo hall. No cards wore used in those days.

Mrs. Washington was this time 63 years old, but her healthful, rational habllB, and her exceptionally pleasant cxiatanca had enabled her to maintain her youthful aotivily, nsofulnoa9 cheerfulness. She looked somewhat older than norntiBband, but she was not, they were b. ru in tho oamo year. She was extremely simplo in her dress, waB aa unpretontious in her household affairs.

Very often on Sunday evenings she would hove an old friend to supper and would charm her guests by mak tea and ODffeo herself. Tho suppers were alwiys simple dry toast, bread and butter and sliced tongno cold meatoi Borne kind, Ko hot melt was ever offered, neither biscuits, which the average Som'icrnor tho old time considered absolutely ossential for supper as well as bre.vUfaat. Tho life in Philadelphia was pleasant to Mrs. Washington, though she greatly preferred Mount Vernon and longed to return to it. In letter to a friend written about this time of which mention 1b made, aho says With respect to myself, I comcliuws think tho a rangcniont is not quito as it ought to have bejn; that who had much rather be at b.UK occupy a place with winch a great many younger nml gayer women would bo pleased.

Aa my grandchildren and domestic connection make up a groat rtiou or the folicitv which I lookod for in this world, I shall hardly able to And any substitute that will indemnity me for the loss of such endearing socioty. I do not say this beoause I feel dissatisflsd with my present station, for everybody and everything conspire to make ino as oontonted as possible in it; yet I have learned too much of tho vanity of human affairs to expect felicity from the scenes of public life. Iam still determined be choerfnl and happy in whatever situation I may for I have also learned from oxperiencs tnat mo creator part ol our happiooBs or misery depends on our Wo carrv tho soodB of tho one or tho other about with us In our minds wherever wo go. Mr Washlnuton lived soveral years alter her retire ment from tho plain official position ehe hold, and ur vivod her husband three years. Sho died in tao Spring 1801 in the Hat year her of age.

Her grave is beside hor husband's in the vaultat Mount ABIGAIL ADAMS. From Mnrsachusetts came tbo Booond "Lady of tho White House," the wife of. John Adams, the seoond President, and tha mother of John Quinoy Adams, tbo sixth President of the United States. Sho waa a strong character, tho daughter of a miniver, and oarly trained iu religious ways. She went to Washington in 1800, and tho Wh.te Houso than waa not finished.

In a letter to her daughter, Rho sayB of it: Tho bouse is made habitable, but there is not a single apartmom finished, and all in the inside, except the ulaatering, has been dona siuce BrioBler (uer man Berrant) came.

Six ohambera are uiuae coin fortable two ara ocoupicd by tho President and Mrs.

Shaw two lower rooms, one a common parlor and ouo for a levee room. Upstairs there is the oval room, which ia designed for tho drawingroom. and has tho crimson furniture in it. Mrs. Adams felt the irkiom337i of returning calls even more than Mrs.

Washington did, or tho wilder, ness city was much harder to got about iu. Soma of her visitors came ou horseback from long distances. Others livads far away as Georgetown or in soattcred partBof tho city to or throo miles dtstauoj. It is singular to ruaJ what Washington wis in th. days.

The nniv atrcct was the old Georgetown road which ran throueh tho place. Pennsylvania avouue, leading, as laid down on papor, from tha Capitol to tho 1 raai dentlal mansion, waa thou nearly tho who! distauuo a deep, morass, covered with alder bUDh'eB. THF, riftST NEW TEAft'a BECEPTION. The first Now Year's reception at tho White Htmre was held by President Adams in 1301, Tue Homo was only partially furnished, and Mrs. Adflmsused tho oval room upstairs, now the library, as a drawing room.

The formal etiduetto cstabliehud by Mrs Washington York and Philadelphia kept iu. the silder il ess city by MrB. Adams. The cllmato of Washington was not healthy, Mrs. Adams early suffered from the malaria incidental to lae condition of things whon she want Sho had intermitteut fever, aud was therof.ro raucuAway from tho Capitol tho last year of her huabaniU Presidency.

Sho was never handsome, lice was remarkable for ita intelligent expression. Bho had excellent judgment was a worthy lady, and a person of Roman fortitude. She was 74 years of age al tao lime ol her death, which event occurred in 1818. MARTHA JEFFERSON BANDOtPIl. Thoniai JeilerBou'B wife had baou.

Sho waa a.well educated lady, endowed naturally with great glftB and possessed ol clear, oomprehonBive mind.

Sho marriod when very young her cousin, a ward of her father's, Thomaai Mann Randolph, andlivod at Mpnticdlo, a great por tion of tho time of pit father's absence in Tho unhealthy coneition of Washington at that its low and marshy condition engendering disease, rendered it an nnflt plaoe for her with her little and she only paiAjtwo viBita to It. once with hor cister and again after tho doath ot that aister, and during. tho second Administration ol Jefferaon.

Montioello is but a wreck of the past, and the graveyard thcra ia as much neglected and forsaken aa tiough It had no memories connected, with it, Americans who revero tho name and fame of Jefferson are amazed that tbo Government does not put some proper monument over bis grave, but It la hardly tn wm done, and tha old place ajill amain tha aa apectacle It now la.
