A new portrs't wa hunjr In the
Green Room this week, 'addinjr one
one more to the number of portraits
of mistress of the White House
lira. "YVashlnjrron, Mrs. Polk, Mrs.
Tyler,' Mrs. Hayes, and last, Mrs.
Angelina Van Bureru Mrs. Van Bu
ren was the wlfo of President Van
Buren's son. She was Angelina
Elnjrleton, of South Carolina, and
was married to Major Van Buren In
November, IfHW. Her first appear
ance at the White House was on the
following New Year's Day. at the
President's levee, when, as the mis
tress of the White House, she re
ceived with the President, and was
assisted by the wives of his Cabinet
officers. The portrait of Mrs. Van
Buret) was bee ueathed to the White
House by the will of her son. Travis
C Van Buren. It was received at
the Capitol about a fortnight afro by
Senator Evarts, who, as Chairman
'oj the Library Committee, was au
thorised to take charore of it There
. was also'a'marble bust of President
Van Buren with the portrait and
that is to be placed in the private
corridor of th White House, where
aire hong tho portraits of Presidents.
Mrs. Van Buren's portrait was paint
ed by Inman, the well known artist
of that day. It Is a half length n-r-hre,
and In evening- dress. The whit
, gowft has the decollete point bodice,
uite like the present fashion.
;' Beports received at the War De
partment for the nine months be
ginning with July 1, 1889, show that
. there have been 1,678 desertions from
the regular army d urine: that period.

. tlons a reduction this year of over
10 per cent. The percentage of de
sertions to the enlisted strength of
the 'army has been for this period
o 1-10 per cent, and for the same
period last year it was 7 6-10 per cent
, Secretary Proctor has taken an ac
' tlve personal-interest in this subject,
and has labored diligently to reduce
this evil, with some success, as the
' figures show. In his annal report he
showed that it was only partly a
question of administration ; but that
there ; was also legislation needed.
The House has already passed bills
. In the line of the Secretary's sugges
tions, and he believes that if the
same pass the Senate and become
laws, they will enable him to accom
plish much more in this direction.
" Not only Is the prevalence of deser
tion In the regular army demoraliz
ing to the army itself, but the ex
pense which It makes the Govern
ment in the recruiting and transpor
tation of new men is very large.
- The proposition now pending be
fore the House Judiciary Committee
, to amend the Constitution and elect
United States Senators by popular
. vote, originated with Hon. John S,
. Henderson, of North Carolina, and
not with John B. Henderson, of
Iowa, as erroneously printed. The
North Carolina Henderson is a dis
' tingulsbed member of the Judiciary
Committee, and his bill, or one in
volving the aame principle, will, he
' thinks, be favorably reported to the
Hduse. There is no good reason, he
Suggests, why the aristocratioway of
electing Senators by State legisla
