sad IN 3 IEdGiged IN lew OF the IoAes
and frivokties OF public men, there has
been withal ktreak Of youth in him, and
he used to tell stores and appear consld'
erably younger than he does today, "hen
saw him yesterday morning ne began 10
talk business from the very moment met
him snd never said word about any Of
his private affairs, or any OF the current
light talk. Daring our conversation re-
marked that be seemed TO look very Teii,
Dat believed malrimony had weighed
pretty heavily on hin, to which Mr.. C!eVe'
land replied, smilingly, 1t brings man
down 10 serious affairs" No more refer
epcs was made to his marriage, snd we
transacted more business IN thirty minutes
than we used TO in double that time. You
ace | have known Mr.. Cleveland ior q
great many years, and we have been In the
habit OF talking more or less about SOCIAL
matters and about old times in the State.
This is not the only man who has OBJ
served the serious character OF the Presl-
dent. The crowd of newspaper core
soondents who fingered around the White
House on Tuesday evening, when Mr..
Cleveland and his bride returned from
Deer Park, exclaimed with one voice that
the Chief Executive looked very sober, aud
looked as though he was in doubt whether
it was a good thing to be married Mrs
Cleveland, however, looked IS clipper and
happy Ss q school girl. She is real sen.
sible looking lady, and inpressas one with
a good deal of loneliness. The writers oil
agreed that che wss amisbie and would do
her best to make the old gentle
man happy, but that she knew, as
wellias he, when to put her foot down and
refuse to take another step She looks
Young but Is not the girlish woman which
The newspapers have described i'll num-
Der OF instances. She is tell and slender.
Her form is not so plump as one would
think from a view of her face through the
pictures, and she would probably not
weigh over 100 pounds Her age may be
definitely settled at between Il aud u,
nearer the latter figures than the former.
She hiss large forehead, and her large
ewes are se! far enough apart TO indicate
a considerable sweep OF intellect and
reason. i venture that there is nothing OF
peevishusss about her end, If Mr.. Cieve-
land becomes surly or glum and wants
TO complsia, that she viii laugh
him out Of it. Her complexion ia fair and
smooth; her teeth little large; mouth
clearly cut and medium size, with prom
iuent Grecisn nose, long ears and wealth
of dark brown hair. Mrs. Cleveland is
evidently endowed with great energy aud
not q little pride and ambition. 1t was no
uced that when the President and Mrs.
Cleveland arrived at the White House that
the latter did not wait 10 have the door OF
the carriage opened, but pushed 1t ont her
self and Jumped upon the steps leading to
the entrance, looking back over her ahonl-
der to see if her husband had alighted.
She then cast smiling gleuces at the sur
rounding crowd and rushed into her future
home. Her movements indicated that she
YVES able to take care of herself, Mr..
Cleveland rather crawled out dropping
one leg first and pulling the
other after him, and without looking to
either side, walked slowly into his house.
He looked bored and the surrounding crowd
was unable to tell whether it was on &C.
couut Of having female attendant, or
whether he was sorry for some act he had
committed. 1t is hardly presumable, how
ever, that the President regrets his mar
riage.
When the president goes away on snoth'
or trip. the country will be apt TO know all
about il before his departure The severe
criticism of the press on his having sneak
ed out at the back door to go to Deer Park
hns caused him to VOW that his movements
shall he we'll known in the future. lie de-
miss that he intended to keep his move
meuts a secret but his actions seem to
speak harder than his works. When Con-
gress gets away and the desks are clear at
the White House, the Chief Executive
and his wife intend to HE away TO tie
Adiondacks in New York, and spend a
few weeks ia the woods Then they will

tanned by some friends, and in Nassschu-
sstts Will linger around the old homesteads
of Mr.. Cleveland's ancestors.
The cruel report was started the other
day that the President had already had a
litlle worry over his motherin-Isw 1t was
said that Mrs. Folsom was very unwilling
to leave her daughter, saying that they had
always lived together aud that she did not
know how it would be possible for them to
s parate. The hint was that she would not
refuse an invitation to make her home at
the White Housa. The President did not
seem to relish tkst kind Of thing. and said
that be had purchased pretty bone out
in the country, few miles away
from the Executive Msnsion, whittier

that it would be real nice if abe could live
out there with cousin Ben. There wers
knowing looks between members OF the
Cleveland and Folsom families, but little

leading TO desire TO reside at the White
House, but j. Is understood Mrs Cleveland
cut the thing short by telling her mother
that If she vent back to Folsomdsle to take
up the old home that she, Mrs. Cleveland,
would visit her often, and that she would
always be glad TO see her mo her come

Secretary Manning, the gossips cay, was

Department 8 month before he wished he

Mr.. Manning, l ana told by al intimate
friend, expected to have little of real diff
cult work TO perform. The Treasury port
folio has been painted as one with great
honors and but little labor. 1t may possess
great honor. but it surely carries with it
very great and difficult work. A

country which had duties so wesrying Rs
