WASHINGTON. Nov. 27.-The administra-
ton of President Cleveland is essentially
secretya 1t has no out-runners who get
adyices in advance from kitchen cabinet,
or from the droppings of the sanctuary.
The president lives within himself, having
no condolences or confidants. No one can
discount what he may or may not do. When
he is ready 10 act he makes his determine
ton public. and the public knows where he
stands Just as soon as his cabinet The
official family, while il may enjoy the pres
ident's confidence. is certainly not asked to
share it.
The daily life of the president must be
one of monotony. 1t is the same humdrum,
day after day. 1t is even worse since the
celebrated order driving democrats out of
the White House. All who call upon him
make their business brief. Between one

strange request. Then the mother closed
her eyes and tried to sing. Her voice was
tremulous at first, but by mighty effort
she expelled from her mind every thought
save the remembrance Of her love for her
wounded child and she was soon able to
sing to him almost as sweetly and softly as
ifin her own quiet home. The boys arms
gradually relaxed and helay back again
quietly upon the blood,stained bed, with
his head resting half upon his pillow and
half upon his mothers lap. His eyes
were closed, and his pallid face had lost
something Of the roundness and tulness
which marked Il In the morning. The
mother was bending over him with one Of
his hands In hers. On the other side OF
the bed sat Berry Pierson tanning Char
ley's face. At the foot stood the surgeon
and the steward. Clustered around the
room were half dozen neighbors looking
on with sympathetic, awe.sTicken faces.
X When the mother began to softly sing
the song she know he loved, there was a
solemn hush in the room, and every eye
was filed with tears. Even tho rough,
old surgeon, as he cut away the bloody
bandages, was seen 10 turn away Ills head
and hastily draw his sleeve across his
eyes number Of times; and the steward
was hardly able to distinguish his instru.
ments. Under the soothing effect Of his
mothers voice the boy allowed the wound
70 be dressed aud the cruel stitches to be
taken. Later in the day he dropped
asleep aud awoke considerably refreshed.
He was uncomplaining through 1t all;'
and the fortitude with which he bore his
suaerings excited the admiration OF every
one.
