The only trouble with the young man IN

The only trouble with the young man IN
question was that he had been drinking too
much liquor. He has been fully informed
Of the reason for his retention in office, and
Is he is a young gentleman OF naturally
high character his reform is complete and
it is believed permanent. This true story
illustrates the kindly disposition OF tho
present Secretary, and 1t is safe TO presume
that even those who are altogether strangers
10 him will be kindly and charitably dealt
with In all such cases. Secretary Noble is
q very hard working man indeed, and in
this respect he is not unlike his predecessor,
Colonel Villas. The department hours arc
from nine o'clock in the morning until four
o'clock in the afternoon. Secretary Noble
arrives at eight o'clock and sometimes at
half-past seven in the morning and remains
until six in the evening, frequently return
ing after supper to work in his office until
nearly midnight.
In common with the other Cabinet OFF,
GERS the time of the Secretary of the In
terror is so occupied by callers who throng
his office during tie day, except on Cabinet
days, that it is almost impossible for hiuL
to transact the current business OF tho
department during office hours. Therefore
it seems to be necessary for him to return
at night, when, all being quiet around him,
he can examine cases and append his sig-
nature to the hundred or more Of letters
before him. He is stout, robust man with
iron-gray beard and almost totally gray
hair. His locks are silken and rivaled In
beauty alone by the suit of hair which
crowns the head of Senator ingalls,, Of Kan
sas. His face is strongly marked, but his
skin Is soft and pink and beautiful as that
Of a babe. That he is strong man IS
amply known to a caller by the hearty
clasp of his hand. He has beautiful, large,
expressive eyes, and his voice is as soft
and winsome as ever came from the lips
Of man. This may seem like fulsome fiat
terry of the Secretary, but it is merely the
| re-echolng, not of my own views, but OF
/ the opinions expressed by all who have had
the pleasure of coming in contact with this
remarkable gentleman.

general public and never apparently grow
weary of their troubles and trials the Secre.
tary must be polished gentleman.
The presentincumbent Of the Office, Gener-
al John W. Noble, comes up to every require.
ment of the position and is equal to every
occasion. He Is a very handsome man and
his smile IS one Of those contagious evil
dences not only of good humor but of CON-
radeship that puts his visitor at ease i'm
mediately. The heads of bureaus of the
great department all speak OF him in the
highest terms as man eminently well
qualified for his position, who grasps the
ideas presented to him upon every case of
every kind and reaches a speedy conclu.
sion concerning both the law and facts be-
fore him. With the general public, especial.
y with the representative men of the day,
General Noble has became very popular.
Ihave seen his room so thronged with
people that it was almost impossible for
him to turn around from one to another to
grasp their hands and hear their story; yet
he was enabled to send them all from the
room one by one with the belief that each
one had gained his especial favor; andprob-
ably all Of them were correct Secretary
Noble is always careful to make a note Of
promises made by him so that he is remind
ed of such promises and he never fails to
keep them. A very peculiar case was pre-,
sented to him few weeks ago, and as it
illustrates the character and innate good
ness of the man it may as well be related
here without violating any confidence.
A young man in the Interior Department
was recommended for discharge by the
head of the bureau in which he was en-
ployed. Under ordinary circumstances the
recommendation of a head Of O bureau re-
,eives the approval of the Secretary. But
| when this case came before General Noble
the name seemed familiar to him, and before
| taking action upon it he made inquiry
| After obtaining full information upon the
subject concerning the young man, he wrote
| a letter to the head Of the bureau in which
he said:
"While recognize the fact that you have
| right to urge favorable action upon youl
recommendation for the discharge Of thi,
| young man, you will understand my hesi
fancy when 1 say to you that many year
ago when I went to Keokuk. Ia, as q younl
lawyer, one Of the prominent men Of tina
thriving Western city was especially m,
friend and did me many acts Of kindness
which enabled me to make a successful
start in life as young lawyer I can neve
forget his kindness, and could no
enumerate the many good things that
did for me- The young man whom yo
have recommended for dismissal Is a grand
son of that good friend Of my young man
hood. With these vivid recollections Of tn
goodness Of that man toward me you ca
readily understand that the discharge q
his grandson from this department woul
come with an Il grace from me. Therefor,
recognizing the fact that you have a rigt
to demand the dismissal Of the young mar
according to your recommendation, hav
to request as personal favor to mysel
that you will withdraw that recommend
ton and give the young man anoths
