fought his way in a few years to the front.
! heard good story of him the other day.
In his younger days he was a school
teacher down in Georgia. A big, strap
ping fellow he was too. One day he
found Unnecessary to punish one of the
lads, and he punished him in good rural
fashion. The boy went home and told
his father and his big brothers, and the
old man and the big boys, to the number
of three, went to the schoolhouse and
the teacher. Nothing daunt-
ed, that energetic individual turned in
and gave his visitors a good thrashing-
old man, eldest son, next of age and all.
This incident gave Hoke Smith the So
briquet of s.the fighting schoolteacher, :"
and he has been fighting ever since as
lawyer, editor and politician.
Of the advisers selected by Mr.. Cleve-
land Messrs. Gresham, Carlisle and La

for the portfolios assigned to them, and

qualifications.

If this were history Of cabineUs, some
curious and to many people startling
facts might be given. One is the gen
orally admitted fact that Franklin
Pierce, probably the most obscure man
ever nominated for, the presidency, had
the greatest success with his cabinet.
Other presidents have of course sustained
as pleasant relations with theirs, and
some have made more brilliant records,
but President Pierce not only lived on
terms of cordial, almost afectionate, as
ISOLATION with his secretaries, but re-
tanned their warmest regards till death
separated them, and some of them be-
came quite famous. In truth, President
Pierce's personal attachment to Secre-
tary Davis caused him no little trouble.
The fact that Jefferson Davis after
ward organized an 'unpleasantness"
must not make us forget that he was a
remarkable success as secretary of war.
James Guthrie was equally successful in
the treasury, and William l.. Marcy's
fame as secretary of state is fixed for all
time. Martin Van Buren, and Willard
Fillmore also lived in very pleasant rela-
tions with their cabinets, but both were
men with whom any gentleman could
live pleasantly. Andrew Jackson's po-
litical household, on the other hand, was
a continuing storm center. 1t is a very
curious history this of cabinet relations.

called "Gresham's law" in finance. The
family scattered, of course, in America,

early life, studied law. was elected to the
legislature in 1850, and in August, 1851,
was commissioned lieutenant colonel of
the Thirty-eighth Indiana. He won the
rank of brevet major general by good
service and returned to the law.
His career as judge, postmaster gen
eral and for few days secretary Of the
treasury in Arthur's cabinet, then as
judge again and finally as candidate for
the Republican nomination for the presi-
dency are familiar to all Americans.
Hamilton, Gallatin, Walker, Guthrie,
Chase. McCulloch, Sherman, Window
and Manning have confessed1y been our
great secretaries of the treasury, and
John Griffin Carlisle will have to meet
difficulties little if any less than most Of
them encountered. It is a very encour-
aging fact that all parties express great
confidence in his ability to meet them.
It is funny fact that though the Sec
rotary of the treasury has far more pat
ronage, measured by money values, than
any other cabinet official, and despite re-
peated warnings patronage is still held
as the stepping stone thereto, no secre-
tary of the treasury has ever become
president.

presidents, and very much more might
be said of the disappointments-for it is
an interesting fact that more expecta-
tions have been frustrated and more
prophecies falsified as to this than as to
any other part of our political machin-
cry.
The student of history will tell you
how Grant had the greatest number Of
cabinet members-25 in all-and John
Quincy Adams the fewest-seven; how
jackson had the most trouble with his
cabinets and Pierce probably the least;
how the members Of Folks cabine' were
singularly fortunate in their personal
and political careers and those of Tyler's
most unfortunate, so overwhelmed in

believed to pursue and destroy certain

were instantly killed by the explosion of

there areno precedents to Justify them.

little volume, published by Silver, Burdett
& Co.. Boston, contains the music rendered
last year at the Oriental concert given under
Mrs Nason's direction. There has been SO
many calls for this programme, many of them
from other states, that in order to supply
them Mrs. Mason has compiled and arranged
this little voumn. 1t includes some very
pleasing Japanese and Chinese melodies, a
typical Hindustan Bhajan, and a number of
Persian and Arabian Glazals notable for
their unexpected yet beautiful modulations,
and which were transcribed from the sing
ing of native musicians by Mrs. Emma
Moore Scott Of Muttra, india: also several
original songs and spirited Roundeiay,
called a Thousand And One
Nights, composed by Mrs. Mason.
1t is book which will be dcci led acquis-

For eight or ten years Senator Morrill, of
Vermont has been striving to make the ma
ton see the necessity for complete separ-
alton of the private and official portions of
the executive mansion. Mrs. Harrison ex-
erted her ability in trying to overcome the
objections of the people who protested that
IL woull not he wise to have two distinct
buildings by drawing plans to put two wings
ticslly under one roof, there should be two
well defined parts. But thus far nothing
has been gained in the direction of any
change. The late condition of affairs ut
the White House, when it was under quaran-
tine on account of scarlet fever in the Pres
dents family, was stronger argument in
favor of the proposed changes than any
thing which has yet been put forward. for
during that time the Chief Executive was
practically quarantincd by scarlet fever IN
building owned by the nation and which
should be open to all its citizens. While
the Offices arc separa- ed from the residence
portion of the house. it is only by Railways
and doors, and it is unreasonable to assume
that those who have business with the Pres
i,ient should see him only in house which
has the contagion of scarlet fever in its at
mosphere. 1t is likely that the result will
be the adoption of some such plan for a
disposition of the public and private parts
of the White House. As has so long been
urged by Senator Morrill,
