PRESIDENTIAL AUTOGRAPHS
Haw tlx TrMldenti of the I'nlted States
feigned tliolr Kainea.
We reproduce below in fac simile the sig
natumi of all the presidents. They are takeu
from historical documents in the possession
of Mr. Ud. W. Bolt, of Brooklyn, N. Y.
GEORGI WASHINGTON.
What firmness and dignity ia expressed In
the signature of Washington. His writing,
like everything else he did, was eiec-ited with
rare deliberateness and ability.
JOHN ADAMS.
The above autogragh is taken from a letter
of John Adams while he was vice-president,
He was precise and methodical in his letters, as
he was shrewd and sagacious in business.
THOMAS JEKFERSOIf.
Thomas Jefferson's hand was just such a
one as a young man acquires in collego, where
little attention Is usually paid to penmanship.
His signature was graceful and digniQod com
pared to his other writing.
JAMKS MADISOif.
Madison was another college graduate, but
his "list" was Urm and plain,
JAMES MONROE.
Monroe was a busy man nnd did not waste
much time on bis autograph.
JOHN Ql'ISCT ADAMS.
John Quiuey Adams' chirogrnphy was as
graceful and formal as copper-plato script
2 t eft- -cSZeyert i .
ANDREW JACKSON.
Andrew Jackson subscribed himself as if,
'Bv the Eternal." he meant it. He bore so
bard on the paper as to force the ink
through.
MARTIN VAN BCREN.
The above signature of Martin Van Buren's
was written a few mouths before his death,
in 1802, at the ae of 80.
WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON.
Harrison wrote in a crampod, ungainly
hand. His education had been neglected, for
at the age of 19 he was engaged in an Indian
war.
JOHN TVLER.
Tyler wrote but little, and judging from his
autograph It was tiara woricw accoiupusu
that which he did.
21
JAMES K. POLK.
James Knox Folk considered that a few
characteristic flourishes would add impressive-
ness to bis signature.
r
ZACHART TAYLOR.
Stern and bold like its author is the chirog-
raphy of Zachary Taylor.
MILLARD FILLMORE.
One year before his death in 1874 ex-President
Fillmore indited the above. He was
born In 1800, so that his hand had lost much
of its early grace.
FRANKLIN PIERCE.
Pierce wrote In an old-fashioned, dignified
way. He did not spore papor. He would
scrawl a few words over a whole sheet.
JAMES BUCHANAN.
Staid and formal was the writing of bache
lor Buchanan.
ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Honesty and homeliness characterized the
baud writing of Abraham Lincoln. He wasted
little timo on his signature
ivntifw .iniiNSON.
Painfully labored was Johnson's jientnan
ship. For a mah who was apprenticed to a
tailor at the age of 10 it is all that could be
expect eJ.
V. 8. GRANT.
Gen. Grant writes in a bold, firm, decisive,
rapid way. As a boy he wrote it U. H. Grant.
RUTHERFORD B. HATTS.
Like the scratches of his favorit j hens does
Rutherford's pen make tracks over the paper,
He is saving of both ink and paper.
JAMES A. GARFIELD.
A clear, bold, business-like writer was Gar
field. He was a rapid writer, attending per
sonally to much of the voluminous correspon
dence which accompanied his busy life.
tlibni&n r.iuvi
Ex-President Arthur writes rapidly. From
the start to tho finish of his signature his pen
never lets go of the paper even to cross the
"ts."
GROVEB CLEVELAND.
The President's manuscript is positively
painful to decipher. The style Is sharp and
incisive. He writes with lightning rapidity
lad with little regard for the reauar.

FIXINQ UP A "FRAUD,"
An rirphant Is lie Ins Itlrarlird for
Exhibition a "Sumple."
New York News.)
Professor de Spotte undertook to explain
the bleaching process. "The that difliruity
to be overcome," laid he, "was to get the
black bide perfoctly clean of dirt and scales.
This was done by a peculiar treattueut.
which is my secret The hide having been pre
pared, I took a quantity of this lotion,"
showing a basin of liquid as pure as distilled
water. "I then mixed with it a quantity of
pure spirits of ammonia, thus," and suiting
the action to the word, he poured some am
monia into the basin. "Now, when I put my
finger iu it, and hold that finger there for a
short time, the finger becomes pure white,"
and as be said this the professor put his fin
ger iu the basin, and in a few minutes it was
covered with a white precipitate.
This preparation is not poison, for
I can swallow it," and he drank
a small quantity. "It only bleaches. I have
made the application two or three times a
day on the elephant, and you see the result
The skin is soft, all of the wounds are healed,
and the old fellow really appears to enjoy
the distinction. Iu a couple of weeks I will
even have his black toe nails bleached. The
preparation bleaches the elephant's tusks.
and bones can be rendered perfectly white
with it I can use it as a deutrince, and
whiten the most discolored teeth. It cauter
izes wounds, and as for bleaching hair white,
it is wonderful. Look at these boys' hands,
and he called up two strapping fellows who
are his assistants. "When we commenced they
had hard and horny hands, covered with
black hair. Now their bands are soft and
white as a woman's and the hair on them is
white. The sponges which we used are all as
white as snow, as you can see. For some
reason, however, it rots them, while it hat
no such effect upon other substances."
"Oh, ves, we are now prepared to take
unlimited orders for bleached elephants. If
any of your friends have any elephants run
ning loose which they desire to hae made
white, just give thein our card, and tell
them to send their orders right along. First
come, first served."
During the afternoon many scientific and
professional men dropped in to look at tho
"fraud," and said they were astonished at the
wonderful results obtained. A9 a matter of
coui-se, as the process is continued, the ele
phant will become whiter uutil the driven
snow will be as within to it. "As white as
a white elephant" will then be tho acme of
whiteness. The bleaching agent used is jwr
oxydoof hydrogen.
Parisian C hildren,
Loudon Times.
After watching the endless "march past"
of the children on the Champs Elysees, day
after day, for half a year, 1 am convinced
that no civilized couutry cau muster a liner
host. Their forms are as chubby, their
cheeks as rosy, their eyes as bright, their
teeth as pearly, their locks as thick and
glossy as those of any children I have ever
seen; in this last respect they excel their lit
tle island neighbors. The calves of their legs
may not always be so robust as tfce little
Britons', but they frisk and caper upon thorn
to such a degree that they must wear off the
snjierfluous flesh. Their spirits are inex
haustible; they seem filled with quicksilver
to the tips of their fingers and toes. They
never look tired, or cross, or dirty; never
quarrelsome, never naughty. They are cap
tivating little creatures, never shy nor
bold, caressing and vivacious, restrained in
their romps only by obedience and preco
cious politenees the on ly precocity I can de
tect in them. They are graceful aud gestic
ulating; their play is like a perpetual Lilipu
tian pantomime or ballet
But faris is almost childless. Tradesmen
wish their wives to help them in the shop,
and in order that the wives may be free to
do this, the children are put out to nurse in
the country. The same custom is general
among all working pioplo. More than 50
H-r cent, of the children born iu Paris die in
the baby farmer's hands, a correspondent de
clares, liefore they have reached their second
year. Forty creches have been established
in the city, but the counter-influence of these
has been trifling. A nurse of whom no
questions are asked charges 25 francs a month
for tha keep of a baby, hut those who are
registered and overlooked demand 53 francs
or more. They find their customers among
the prosperous middle classos, but the work
ing people cannot alrjrd to go to tuein.
The Wheelbarrow Tramp,
"Mentor" in Chicago Herald.)
As an old man stopped cautiously from the
train at Elgin a passenger remarked:
"There goes tho great original tramp. No,
I don't moan that he is a tramp now; on the
contrary, he is worth 50,000 or $(50,000. But
he was the first man that ever made a biz of
tramping In this country. He it a German,
you notice; he came to this country when he
was 20 years oi l, with several thousand dol
lars. He settled in New England, but got to
trading farms and horses with the Yankees
so that in 1820 he found himself with
one old horso and wagou, a wife and
five children, and no farm. So he started
west, but the old horse died, and
theu he traded the wagon for a wheelbarrow,
loiided the small children in. the rest walked
and tuev continued the journey. Well, that
old horse dying mulo his fortune. Tho sight
of a man wheeling his family west in a
wheelbarrow worked on jieople's sympathies
so they took up collections for him at every
villago and settlement, besides housing and
feeding tho family free every nijht Money
ii.t rnllwl in- there was no exuense. and so
the German found himself in a profitable
business. The result was that Itetweeu l&JG
and l!ti5 he made four triw from Newbury
port, Mass., to New Orleans, with a wheel
barrow. On his last trip be stopped in Illi
nois, bought laud, and is now rich. Some of
Hmu philili pn that made the trios in a wheel-
l.ormw with the oriirinal American trauin
can put on more style than anybody else iu
the state.
Life of Steel Hall.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
There is little meaning to be attached to
the expression. "The average life of a rail,
because so much depends upon the amount of
use to which it is subjected. Some of the
light rails first laid by Mr. Vanderbilt on the
New York Central are still in use, and others
were taken up after fourteen years' constant
use on parts of the road where the war was
very great Railroad men state, however,
that the rails to be obtained now are not as
good as they were when first introduced.
Superintendent Toucey, of the New York
Central, thinks the average life of a steel rail
may be placed at fifteen years; of here say it
is not more than seven to ten ye .rs.
A Discreet Derision,
Exchange.
A merchant in Berlin, having fallen in love
with an opera singer, purchased two dresses
and sent tbem to ber to make her choice, say
ing he would call ft know ber decision.
Shortly, however, before the hour he had in
tended to set out on bis errand, the merchant
received from bis beloved a billet doux to the
following effect: "Of the dresses you hare
sent I like one quite as well as the other. I
will, in fact, keep both, so that you have no
need to call."
