ORIGINAL POETRY.
For the COLCuaiAN.
"BLUEJ3ELLS."
Twas tho last I entwined in tho golden hair
Ot a dear llttlo sister so kind and fain
And It's long I'll remember a sweet llttlo smllo
As I answered her kindly, "She'll bo homo In a
while."
"Hut my brother," she said,"! am hungry and cold,
And our mother Is gono a long time from tho fold
Where her dear llttlo Will and her sweet little
I less
Aro alone In tho dark, but wo'll wait I guess,
'Tin we hear tho foot-fall of her weary tread
llrluglng her children their morsel ot bread."
"She Is kind to us Will-mother dear I Don't you
know
How she labored and tugged through last Winter's
snows
How sho washed and sho scrubbed working hard
all tho day,
And given small wages as tho whole ot her pay t
And nt times when mother thought I was asleep
She'd sit for an hour at a time and sho'd weep.
(), dear brother Willi thcao aro sad things to mo
When I think ot the time when vro cannot mother
see.
And then only you and I hero alone
To livo tor each other and live In ono homo."
No more did sho say, but soon feel asleep,
And closed her eyes no more sha 1 1 they weep.
If sho dreamed that her dear good mother would
come,
The prayer was answered and not very long
From tho time little lless woat to Bleep
Cold and hungry, wlthout;u morsel to cat.
Hut I saw not tho mother when shecamo to receive
Her darling, her daughtcr-herson she must leaTC.
For tho angels had carried hcroff to tho sky
Far from tho haunts of a cruel eye,
still alone I hero wander where nono can console,
Tho longings that upward nrlso la my soul.
As I think ot my youth while now I'm alono
For mother and sister have left me they're gone.
No ono shares cdmfort, and only with theso
Tho pretty Blue Bells that aro blown In tho
brecezo,
As companions and friends, I must wander alone,
Looking toward Heaven as tho place of my home,
Whero my mother and sister in dazzling light
Now hoer In pcaco from their earthly night,
L. J.
For the Colombian.
PIOTUBE TAPES.
, BY JOUN SCTTON.
In tho twilight I was musing,
Thinking of tho years gono by,
When a picture came before me,
That was pleasing to tho eye,
'Twas tho picture ot tho faces.
Of tho friends I uied to know,
Who long ago departed.
To tho land where all must go.
I could see each form and feature,
As tho group came Into v lew,
I could rccognlzo them easily,
Each, Just In life I knew.
I could hear their pleasant greeting,
I could seo each pleasant smile,
I could feel again their presence,
As It with me nil tho while.
Soino were old, and wan, and wasted,
Framed In locks of whlto and gray, ,
Yet they seemed to me as plcaa.uit,
As before they passed away.
Others In the strength of manhood.
Flushed with health, and bright with Joy,
Yet like blasted oaks, they perished
By diseases that destroy.
Others still, bore marks ot beauty,
Faces fair to look upon.
But they withered In their blooming,
Faded early, and were gone.
Thus the picture Hood before me.
And Its deep Impressions mode,
Teaching life Is full ot changes,
Full of sunshine and of shade.
Each ot all theso picture faces,
In my memory has a place,
And I think ot them with pleasure,
As their friendship still I trace.

LITE AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
ITS IKON-CLAD ETIQUETTE AND RIGID
BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS.
Tho present occupant of tho White
House, Mr. Cleveland, is a plain, bluet
business man. Ho pel forms his share
in the entertainment of guoots and will
do all that ollieial duties require of him
in entertaining tho people of Washing
ton. Society wilh him, however, is a
mero incident. Ho is as regular in his
habits as a machine. He has perfect
health, a strong ptns'uiuo and an enor
mous capacity for work. If there is
any fault to bo found with his method
ot doing business it is that ho
is too conscientious and gives too
much attention to detail. Ho gives
his personal attention to tho pa
pers of every applicant lor a Presi
dential appointment. He works stead
ily in his oflice from 9 o'clock, with fow
breaks, until midnight. Ho receives
general callers upon all days of tho
week except Saturdays or Sundays.
Tuesdays and Thursdays ho spends the
uroater part of tho afuruoon with his
Cabinet associates. Ho is very accos
sible. It is easier to seo tho President
than it is to see tho majority of his.
Cabinet associates. Mr. Cleveland ac
cepts no invitations to go out. Gen.
Grant was the first President who over
accepted an invitation to any of tho so
cial entertainments in Washington, and
ho wcut out vary little. Ho only vis
ited his personal friends. Mr. Clovo
land's policy of not going out at all is
much more in keeping with tho dignity
of tho oflice, and in tho end will cer
tainly giyo moro general satisfaction.
Mr. Cleveland reads only tho news
papers. Ho has no timo for anything
else. lie reads but fow of theso pa
pers. IIo generally glances through
the New York papers beioro retiring.
Ho sleeps from seven to eight hours. I
once asked him if ho over carried his
work to bed with him, as many men of
a nervous organization would do. "No,"
said he. "I generally fall asleep with
out any ditliculty. I generally am
asleep as soon as 1 am fairly in bed and
nover wako until morning. ' This fact
is enoughto show that Mr. Cloveland
will not break down, no matter how
hard may bo tho strain of his oflicial
cares. A man who can sleep seven or
eight hours every night can work as
ho ploases during tho remainder of his
timo. IIo is very nbrupt and direct in
his treatment of all his callers. Ho is
thoroughly polite to every ono, but ho
permits no ono to wasto his time. IIo
stands up while ho receives his general
oallcrs, and each man's busiuess is fin
ished as quickly as possible, Tho man
on duty at tho frotit door of tho Whito
Houso does moro to render the Presi
dent's life peaceful than any other ono
tiersou. IIo has held tho post for a
long time, and is an expert on the sub
ject of cranks. Ho can tell a crank as
far as lie can see. Ilia enliro life is a

study of this species of human freak,
and it is a dull day when ho can
not pounce upon ono of them and turn
him away from tho President's homo.
Scrgt. Dinsmoro looks moro like a
clergyman than a crank-hunter.
HIS SALARY AND HIS EXPENSE8.
Tho President is the only prominent
oflicial under tho Government who has
a salary large enough to permit him to
meet tho expenses of his position. Tho
obligations of entertainments eat up
tho average salary, so that private for
tune is necessary to tho maintenance of
prominent ollieial position at Washing
ton. Tho President's salary of S50,-
000 a year is further augmented by a
number of allowances. In the first
ilnce, his houso costs him nothing. It
is heated and lighted at tho expenso of
tho Government. IIo lias also a retintio
of servants to look after tho house in
tho shape of doorkeepers and ushers.
Tho cook and tho houso servants pro
per aro paid by him. These nro few
in number and aro no more than would
bo found in tho average houso of n man
of moderato means. Nearly every Pre
sident is able to take away with him a
handaomo sum left from his salary.
President Hayes was tho most econ
omical of them nil. It is said that ho
saved in tho neighborhood of SlSO.OOO
out of his four years' salary. This is
probably an exaggeration." He took
away certainly 100,000. Grant, in
his eight years of service, it is said,
saved 80,000 ; but ho lost a good deal
of money in his various business ven
tures during his Presidential term.
mil Cleveland's rkceitions.
Tho oflicial entertainments at tho
Whito House do not begin before the
1st of January. They begin with what
is known as tho New Year's reception.
This is ono of the most marked events
of the Washington social season. Every
body of any prominence in oflicial or
private social circles at tho capital goes
to tho Whito House on that day. Try
as ono will it is next to impossible to
keep nininblo idiots from s6mo of the
public receptions. At a recent recep
tion a Simon Puro down Easter from
Maine, that lived on tho samo stieet
with Mr. Maine, grasped tho Presi
dent's hand and holding him off at a
distance exclaimed: "Stand off Grover,
right there, and let mo take a good look
at you. I helped put you in hero and
1 want to gazo on my work." He was
gently passed along the line and tho
current (lowed smoothly as before.
New Year's is tho ono reception on
that day whero ladies go. Tho win
dows of tho Whito House aro darken
ed, tho interior is lighted with gas, so
thas the general effect is that of an
evening reception. Tho members of
tho Diplomatic Corps, who are receiv
ed first upon that day, always wear
their full-dress court uniform. The
army and navy oflicers who call aro
obliged to appear in full dress. Tlie
fact that these threo important classes
of officials wear full dress has influen
ced a number of civilians to appear in
full dress upon that day. There nover
has been any established rnlo upon the
subject. Gen. Grant used to always
wear evening dress upon tho occasion
of tho New Year's receptions. Ho held
that the diplomatic and army and navy
people paid him tho honor of appearing
in full dress bofofo him, and that ho
could not do less than to put on full
dress to ro-civo them. Hayes wore
full dress. There was quito a contro
vei'sj betwoen him and tho Secretary
of Slate. Mr. Evarts, upon this subject.
Mr. Evarts insisted that there was no
occasion in life which warranted the
putting on of a dress suit in the day
time. So ho used to appear upon theso
occasions in a closely buttoned frock
coat. Tho Cabinet all followed Mr.
Evarts with tho exception of tho one
already named. When Arthur camo
to direct the ceremonies of that day ho
adopted tho regulation frockcoat morn
ing dress. Tho majority of his Cabi
net peoplo followed his habit. There
wa9 for the first timo something like
uniformity in tho rulo of dress at tho
Whito House. The neccsarv conse
quence wai that tho majority of tho ci
vilian caners soonconiormed tottio rule
of morning dress.
THE LADIES.
The ladies who called wore, as a
rule, visiting costuines.although a num
ber of tho wives of the diplomatic peo
ple and ladies who were going to ro
coivo at homo would appear in full
drcts. There was no rule, however, in
tins republican court. J hero was noth
ing to have prevented any ladv fiom
coming in tho plainest ot street walk
ing drosses without being specially re
marked. Theso receptions nre trener-
ally described as somethinir verv bril
liant. That is hardly tho word to ap
ply. They aro very agrcoablo and pleas
ant, however. They becin a little too
early in tho morning for brilliancy. Tho
diplomatic people aro received at 10.30.
Tho privileged callers aro all received
by 12.30. Vtom thei. on until 2 it is
an indiscriminate crowd, made up of all
colors and conditions.
Tho old colored man vou seo in tho
hall has boen present at all these recep
tions over since tho war. His onlv
name, or at least tho only name that
any ono miows, is Arthur. His ollieial
positiou is to stand in front of Col. La.
mont's door and keep tho oflicious
throng from worrying tho President's
private secretary to death. Ho has
turned away men that tried to seo Lin
coin, and can do it so gracefully that
mo visitor iceis uetier tnau It ins wish
had been cratitod. Tho Marino Hand
is always stationed in tho ante-room
during theso receptions. Tho visitors
pass along in regular order from this
ante-room, whero they leave their
wraps, to mo ued l'arlor.a liigh.squaro
room, and thou into tho Hluo Parlor,
an oval-dhaped room, whero tho Presi
dent Btands. There is an absurd cus
tom at tho White II01190 of having a
long line of ladies to assist the Presi.
dent in receiving. It can hardly be
said that thoy assist him. Tho ladies
invited by tho rresidcnt aro nlaccd in
lino according to the official portion of
their husbands. There thoy stand in a
solemn, stiff row. Sometjmes tho visi

higher officials remain back of tho Pre
sident with tho ladies of their families
Thcro is an absence of thufoinialitv of

is tho samo as at an ordinary reception.

IMS REL10ION AND IIA'.IITS.
President Cloveland is not what
might be called a religious man, al
though ho is n decendant of a line of
clergymen. IIo is the first President
for n number of yeats who doesn't re
gularly attend church. Ho only goes
occasionally. Ho lias a great resptct
for religion, however, and will never
do anything to shock religious preju
dice. His sister, Miss Cleveland, is an
intelligent lady whoso tastes arc moro
literary than social. Yet sho is very
scrupulous in comforming to all the so
cial requirements of her position and is
very careiui to respect nil of tho con
vi-ntiouatitics. She is au easy talker,
and is noaily as accessible ns her broth
er. Tho President has no familiars.
There is no Kitchen Cabinet undor the
Cleveland Administration. It was
thought at tho otilset of tho Adminis
nation that some of Mr Cleveland's old
llnffnlo friends might come on
and establish a little ring about him.
Nearly every President has had near
him a staff of personal Iriends holding
no oflicial position of special impor
tance, but yet influencing and controll
ing his actions in very important mat
.tcrs. Mr. 15isoll, tho President's for-
mer law partner in liuftalo. on I Daniel
i.ockwood, who ban put Mr. Cleveland
in nomination for all of tho offices he
has ever held, visited Washington dur
ing thy spring. It was thought that
theso two men would remain at tho cap
ital and that they would ba tho leaders
ot tlie Kitchen Cabinet. Whatevor
may havu been their intentions, this re
sult was not reached.
Uio only confidant that tho Presi-
dent has outside of his Cabinet advis
ors is Col. Lamont, his private secre
tary. This gentleman is a very (lis
creet young man, with wido political
experience in Now York State affairs
and with a very good training in tho
Tilden school of national politics. He
is one of the,most reserved of men and
has excellent judgment. For tho fust
timo in many years tho position of pii
vato secretary to tho President is held
by a man who is on something of a
confidential equality with tho Presi
dent. Whenever tho President leaves
the White Houso Col. Lamont has to
go with him. He is his constant com
panion in his daily rides and is con
suited as treqtien.ly as any of tho Cab
inet oflicers. He is one of tho fow pri
vate secretaries who is thoroughly con
versant, wiin wnat is going on in tlie
White House. Tho salary of the pri
vate secretary is only $3,3,"0 a yelr. It
is insufficient for tho place. It has
been at several times proposed to raiso
tho salary of this position to 80.000 or
$8,000 a year, so that tho President
could offer tho placo to somo ono who
could act as his daily adviser nnd con
fidant. It is not every day that a man
of Col. Lamont's ability would consent
to sacrihco his personal interests to
servo a President in this position.
Col. Lamont is not very tall himself
so ho Hits in an immenso arm-chair that
ho screws up lo tho top liko a piano-
stool. His visitor sits In a low otto
man liko chair, so that no matter how
tall tho caller may bo Col. Lamont can
look carelessly down upon him from
tho elevated seat. The Colonel still
sticks to his old Albany habit of call
ing Mr. Cleveland "Governor" when
they aro close together, and the Presi
dent familiarly calls his private secre
tary "jjan.
TUB SOCIAL SEASON.
After tho regular Now Year's recep
tion the President gives from timo to
timo several evening receptions. Tho
Hi-si aro generally card receptions, to
which aro invited tho prominent offi
cials of tho capital. Ono or two recep
tions aro generally given to tho public,
but as thu bonis for theso receptions
aro limited irom eight to ten, and only
a certain number of guests aro admit
ted at a time, the White House itself
is nover uncomfortably crowded. Thn
discomfort in such cases is found in tho
strugglo to bo admitted. Upon such
reception nights tho officials and friends
of the President aro admitted to the
White House through a rear cntranco
whero thoy can como in without any
discomfort. The lady of tho Whito
House, after Jan. 1, receives formally
after 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Sat
urdays. Sho is always assisted by a
immber of ladies selected from her per
sonal friends and tho families of tho
officials. Thcao receptions continue, un
til 5 o'clock. Tho ladies who assist arc
invited to remain to lunch with the
hostess. It is also customary for the
President to give several sta"tcd din
ners during tho winter. Tho Presi
dent must give a dinner to the Diplo
matic Corps, and this dinner includes
the chairman of tho Foreign Affairs
committees in both Houses of Congress.
IIo also entertains tho Supremo Court
and tho chairman of tho Judiciary com
mittees. After ho lias gotten by this
point ho is expected to givo dinners to
tho loading Senators and Members.
Gen. Grant is tho only President of
modern times who has" during a term
of Congress entertained every individ
ual member of it and his wife 'it ho had
ono.
An invitation to tho White Houso is
supposed to override all others. It is
not considered polito to decline nny in
vitation of tho President unless for rea
sons of illness or somo other equally
good causo. A register is kept at tho
white House of all invitations sent out
by tho Prdsident dining his term. This
record is a part of tho papers of tho of
fice which each President tnkes away
with him. Tho Presidontof the United
States is not expected to accept nny in
vitations. Tho lady of the While
Houso is not required to return any of
tho calls made ujion her. She fre
quently accepts invitations to go out,
but her so doing involves no social ob
ligation of a return entertainment.
HIS DAILY I.1FK.
It is absolutely necessary that tho
President have sonic tjmo to attend to

door with orders to allow no ono to

knows just when it is safe lo interrupt
the woikers inside. President Cleve
land's daily life is n systematic one.
IIo is verv phlegmatic in his disposi
tion. Ho is not at all nervous.
Methodical ways are a second imttiro
to him, IIu always rises at 7 o'clock.
Ho drespcs very leisurqly and glances
over the morning papers after ho is
dressed. He breakfasts at 8. Thcro
is hardly ever anv one with him at
breakfast except his sister, Mies Cleve
land, unless there nre special gues'.s in
tho house. From his breakfast-room
he goes directly lo tho library. This
Is his favorite room. It Is a long oval
chamber, plainly furnished wilh red
leather sofas, chairs and other library
ftirniitire. There aro in this room a
pimi'-er of tho portraits of ex-Presi-donU.
The President's desk is of light
wood nnd nt tho t-otit i i end of the
room. Tha windows back of him aro
wide and high and take in a very com
prehensive view, reaching wny over be
yond tho Smithsonian Institute at tho
loll, down the Polomao to Alexsndria
directly south, and over to Arlington
at his right. It was out of this.win
dow that Lincoln through a glass,' saw
tho Confederate llag flying over Alex
andria, when Col. Ellsworth, of Chi
cago, was calling upon him. Mr. Lin
coln's remark that the Confcdcrato
flag ought at least to bo out of sight
of the capital undoubtedly stimulated
Ellsworth to the act of tearing down
that flag, which act cost him his lite.
Upon tho right of this room is another
while tho Cabinet meets. This is
whero Mr. H.-tyej used to receive his
visitors. Tho library room is tho
place where tho smgeons who attend
ed upon Garfield used lo meet to make
reports to the Cabinet.
The President, when ho comes into
tho library in tho morning, finds a
bundle of papers upon his desk.
These aro selections made from the
mail by Col. Limont, his private sec
retary, and the documents in such
special cases as tho President has ex
pressed a desiri) to consider. A stcno-graplit-r
comes and takes his eat at
the President's right, Col. Lamont
joins him and, from 9 until 10, tho
PreMilunt disposes of theso cases.
Aftpr 10 o'clock ho sees his regular
callers, tho Senators, members and
leading polilicaus from out of town
who come to talk to him ujion tho sub
ject of offices. Straggling through
this crowd there will occasionally bo a
caller who has como for tho purpose of
paying his respect.-. This latter class
is very few in number. The Presi
dent's reception continues until 1
o'clock, except upon iho two Cabinet
days of iho week. He then receives
only until 12 o'clock, or when thero is
a largo delegation at tho Whito Houso
lo seo him ho generally comes down
to tho East Konm aud holds a recep
tion there. IIo lunches at 2 and
then goes back to his work. Ho
keeps at that steadily until ,j, unless ho
is interrupted by somo very prominent
caller who cannot be put off. He
leaves the White House at that hour
anil drives with his private secretary
until " o'clock, lie then returns homo
and dines. His dinner is always a
plain one. Ho gets back to his work
again nt 8.30. Ho works until mid
night before ho retires. There is littlo
change in tho loulino of his daily life.
Upon Saturdays when ho does not seo
general o tilers" ho 6imply devotes tho
time ho gains thereby to the endless
papers which aio always accumulat
ing upon his desk. He goes out for
longer drives Sundays, and occasion
ally upon that dav takes a walk. I5ut
even a portion of that day is devoted
to uio consideration ot public business.
Thero never was a harder working
