It ii a curious lacd that all tho cabi

and curriigei nt government expmse,
but that tho p.roilent is not. If tha
president wants any of thoso thing! ho
must supp'y them himself. Thero is a
stablo near tho whito homo, built dur
ing Grant's time, with plenty of room
for horses, but every president who
comos finds it emp'y. Aud, of course,
it costs hi:n lots of money lo till it.

Of course tho president must havo
threo or four carriagei an 1 several
horses. Whether Ooaernl Harrison will
brin any wdth him or buy them is not
known. Trobibly ho will buy new car
riages, and, of course, a president's
horses must bo thoroughbred1. And ho
rood not expect much of tlnm after h)
