OF New YORK.
ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE
INTERIOR.

Cyrus Bussey was born in Hub
bard, Trumbull county, Ohio, on Oc-
tOber 5, 1888. His father was a Meth
odist minister. He began business life
at Dupont, Indiana, and started on
his own account at sixteen years of
age. In 1858 he was elected to the
Indiana legislature as a democrat, and
in the same year was a delegate to the
Baltimore convention that nominated
Stephen A. Douglas for president. At
the outbreak of the war he was ap-
pointed by Governor S. II. Kirkwood, ,
Of Iowa, to the command OF the
militia in the southwestern part of
the state, with the rank of lieutenant
colonel. He gained promotion by
hard service and was made brig
adler general of volunteers on
January 5, 1864, for especial
gallantry.n Shortly afterward he
was given command of western
Arkansas and Indian Territory, with
the third division of the seventh
corps. He was made brevet major
general of volunteers on March 13,
1866, and was mustered out on August
"a, 1865. Mr.. Bussey resumed bust
ness as a commission merchant, first
in ST. Louis and then in New Orleans.
He was delegate to the republican
national convention in 1868, was for
six years president of the New Orleans
Chamber of Commerce and was chair
man of a committee of that body
which obtained from congress the ap-
preparation for the Eads jetties. In
1881 he engaged in business in New
York city. He took an active part in
the canvass for Mr.. Blaine, and spoke
almost every night in the campaign
of last year.

OF the younger generation Of Tudor
place as follows: When Mrs. Cleveland was
house hunting she visited many OF the old
places about Georgetown before Oak View was
chosen. Old places had great charms for her.
By accident or design she called at the Tudor
mansion with that for her excuse There she
met . little girl whose childish wisdom 80
pleased her that she invited the little maid to
come and take lunch with her ION Tuesday at
the White House." The invitation was acce pied
and the little girl and her brother as an escort
set on In their dog cart at the appointed time.
The sweetness and kindness Of Mrs Cleveland
at this lunch 10 stored away in the mind Of this
lad and lass az the event OF Q lifetime. This
friendship, 30 happily begun, lasted as long a.
Mrs. Cleveland remained mistress Of the White
House.
