Hour do tbey loot itk'rdo? isaaacsttoa jnstnov and what w C bi t entirely asted about - . cera acd their numerous assistant?. w coune the portraits of a eocd nany of tbeza taye teen published, but tbey do not show in all cases the charftc'.erislirs of the men as they sit at their desks and wrestle with their rewdaths. It is a carious and interesting fact that the longer the. man has been la public life the cesier ha is to reacx If yon want to see ths Secretary cf State yen have little trouble in ding bo. He occupies a large rcon in the csnter of the State Department bonding, well furnished, fcnt not marked by any special signs of extravagance. If you waat to S3e him giye your card to the slender, Elia whiskered darkey who sits at a djak onteid? hi3 door, and you will to likely to get an opportunity to state your case in a few minutes. "When you do meet him you find a man with a frank, intelligent . fa:e, a quiet but rather pleasant manner, easy to approach, and rot half so frigid in his manner as you had expected to find the man of highest rank after the President. The Secretary of State is charged, under direction of the President, with the duties appertaining to correspondence with the public Ministers end Consols cf the United States and with the repretentatives of foreign powers ac credited to the United SLate9, and to negotiatiozs of whatever character relating to the foreign affairs of the United States. Hi is abothe median cf correspondence between the President and toe Chief Executive of tke ceveral Slates of the United States. The Assistant Secretary, Governor Porter, of Tennessee, Las fcr hla epes!al duties tee im mediate supervision ol all correspondence with diplomatic and consular otli:ersof the United States in France, Germany and Great Britain, and farther duty of acting J Secretary cf S.ate in the absence of ths Secretary Liinself. Governor Port you find, ween you have occasion to call on him, a tall, slender man cf fifty, with grey chin. whiskers and mustache, easily apprcacbeJ, bright std Intelligent upon the dalles of Lis position. To iee Secretary Manning is more l'fücult than to sjc the Secretary of Slate. He is newer in the business, and ba?id?3 has xcary more caller?. His room is overran at all litres with politicians who want favors in the appointment of this or that man to petition. lie has two large rooms in tha pleasant tt part of the Treasury, the earner omlctking Pennsylvan'a avenus. He xcakes his first room a general reception rccru for all callers; here he receives everybody, and when te waats to talk privately to any one he retreats to the Inner room, leaving the crowd of others who are always in the room waiting e1 wondering what that fellow is coin to pet. With Irs portrait you are familiar. His dutiee are to have charge of the National finance. He digests and prepares placs fcr tne improvement and management cf tue revenue tad sarport of the public credit; he superintends the collection cf revenue, and prescribes the forms of keeping and ran daring all public acconnts,'and making returns; grants all warrants for money to bs Issued from the Treasury in pursuance of appropriations by law; makes reports and gives -information to either brancü of CocgrtM as may be requited, respecting all matters referred to him by the Senate or House of Representatives, and generally performs all such services relative to the finances as he is directed to perform ; controls the erection of public buildings, the coinage and printing of money, the collection of commercial statictics, the marine hospitals, tbs revenue cutter service and the life saving service. "Wiihtheftce of one of the most important of the Treasury officials the public is not ao familiar. That one is tke new Comptroller cf the Treasury, Hon. Milton J. Durham He is a typical Kentncklan, standing six feet in his stockings, with broad shoulders, a kindly and agreeatle face, pleasant manner, and the air cf a man who has made a dese study of his profession, and is tbes entitled to the honors paid him In his selection for this very important place. And it ia a most important one: more eo than many people suppess. The Third Comptroller countersigns all warrants isaed by the Secretary of the Treasury covering the public revenues into the Treasury, and ntboiLzlng all payments therefrom. All accounts examined by the first Auditor, except thrjee which go to the Commisdonsr of Customs, and all erimited by the Fifth Auditor, and accounts of Hrgiaters and ..Receivers of Land Ofiiees examined br the Ccmmicsioam of tha General Land Oilics, are re-examined and revised in the First Comptroller's cfiice. Here, also, are exaonited and reported ca the drafts for salaries and expenses drawn by Ministers and Con anls abroad, and the requisitions for adxaEces drawn by Marshals, Collectors cf Interral Revenue, Secretaries of tha Territories, and other disbursing officers. Powers of attorney for tbs collection of drafts on the Treasury are examined, and many other daties having reference to the adjustment cf claims against the United Siatej psrtaining to the orSce. but are of too varied a character to be enumerated. Of course everybody knows how tha head of the Department of Justice, Mr. Garland, 1ocp. A sxoDth-faced man with rither thin hair a face that is net especially striking. Ha is one o the most easily reached of the Cabinet officers. Thero is not the delay and red tare that there was in reaching his predecessor. Mr. Garland, who signalized his entrance into the departxent by the sale of all the derartment horses and carriages, still clings 1o the gorgeous curtains that his predecessor bad put up in the large and tandfomely furniehed room that serves for an ciSce for the head of the Law Department of the United States Government. He is the head of the depariiECEt, and tLe chief Jaw officer of the Government Hs reprfScnta the United States in matters involving legal questions; he gives his advice and opinion on questions of law when tbey are required by the President cr by the fceais of the other executive departments on questions of law arising upon the administration o! their respective departments; he exercises a general superintendence rnd direction over United States attorreys ana marshals in all jadic'al districts in the States and territories; and he provides special counsel for the United Elates wherever required by any department cf the Government. The beads of the War and Navy Dapartmenta ere, of course, rather hard to reach. They are supposed to maintain the dignity of the United Stes Government, and being new in the business make a speciality of the cUgnity feature. They have gorgeous roons, both of them, the handsomest ot all the Cabinet officers, with arched ceiling?, handsome frescoes, polished floors, finely carved desks, walls lined with pictures, attendant that are trained to move I with military precision, and to spring at the sound cf the electric belL If yoa have occasion to cal upon them yen must be very polite, not only to thsmaelves, but to their as3istants, else you may find yourself promptly refused or steraly annate J. This la particularly the case in regard to the War Department, where the s-b-ordirates are a let of snobs with neither intelligence nor good breeding. If Mr. Eadlcott wants to earn the gratitude of the Nation let him get rid of the long list of snobs in the War Department, or elje teach them some lessen in decency and politeness. But he won't. The Secretary of the Navy performs tnch duties as the President of the United States, who is Comminder-in Chief, may assign him. and has the general nperintecdance of construct!!), manning armament, equipment and employ man t ol

He is required to provide foi the taking of meteorological observations at the military stations in the interior of the Continent and at other points in the States and Territories: arranges the course of tactics at the Military Academy; submits to Congress all estimates for improvements cf rlver3 and harbors, and performs other similar duties. With the personal appearance of the Saore'r.ry cf the Interior the pnbhc is preity familiar. With those of his assistant who is charged with a good many importint dutie?, they are not so much eo. Here he is, Mr. Henry LcwndesMuliro w. He has been S3 ASSISTANT SECaETAKY MVLDROTV. eight years in Congress and as a result is pretty well fitted for the duties of his position. He is an ex Confederate, a lawyer, a quiet uc assuming sort of a roan, and is entering upon his dmies as though ho was an eld band at it. Loth Mr. MuM.-ot? and his chief, Mr. Lamar, are very approicbable men, net ata!l ''duck up," and gitc promise of an excellent management cf tas Interior Department. The Secretary of tha Interior Department is charged with the supervision of public business relating to patents for inventions, pension and bounty funds, the public lands, including mines, the Indians, educition. rsilrcads, tbe public surveys, the c?nsus when directed by law, the custody and distribution of public documents, and certain hospitals and eleemosynary icstitutiocs in the District of Columbia. He also exercises certain powers ard dut'ei In relation to the Territories of the United States. The Assistant Secretary of the Interior performs such duties as ere prescribed by the Secretary cr required by Jaw. aiding in the general administration cf the affairs of the department. In the absence ot the Secretary he acts as tho head cf the department. The Postmaster General is one of the most difficult men ts reach in the Cabinet, and the most business-like and frank when yoa do reach him. He has strict cast-iron rules, and has the misfortune to have inherited a Chief Clerk when he took possession who appears to be better fitted for hoing corn io Indiana than in his present position. He was brought here by Postmaster General Gresham, probably because ha resembled Greehara a pcod deal, for eo far &s can bs dis covered this is his chief merit. If the Post master General does not want to get himself forever disliked he had better et rid cf his Chief C'erk or else pive h'm a few private leisons. Of course everybody know3 what the duties cf the Postmaster General are. He has the direction end management of the Postofhce Department. He appoints all ofacers and employes nf the department exesptthe three Assistant Postmaster General, who are ar rointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate; appoints en xosimssiers wuere compensation does not exceed $1,000; makes postal treaties with foreign governments by and with the advice and cOLsent of the President; awards and executes contracts and directs the man agement of the domestic and foreign mail Service.

TUE LLADEIiS OP THE USIOX ARxXT. During a recent visit to Washington I was reimittcd to inspect in the cfUcs of the Adutant Generafcf th8 United States a mag;i Scent collection of pbotcgraphs of the general omcors commissioned by the President of the United States including Brigade Commanders not actually commissioned during the eventful period which beginning early in 1SG1 terminated in April 136.") by the burrenaer of tne armies ot the so-caliel uonderate States cf America. This collection has been arranged for prestntstlon in the archives cf the War Department in such a manner as to exhibit tie Kaders of the sc vera brigades. divisions, Army Corps and armies of tbe Lni'.ei States in the great contest lit tna supremacy of the Union. - Tte thorght occurred to me, that while it is proper that such a collection should es a great original or combination of originals remain in the War Department, yet the peo ple ol tte country (thoro rho co not live at Wahineton or can not go there) are entitled to a chance to view theie heroes. Cong res can afford to authorize the reproduction of the pictures by the heliotype cr other similar process. To each picture a short statement of the military srrvicea cf the officer could be prefixed, tha3 formiDg a valuable illustrated appendix to the omcial publication of tbe war. To say nothing of the pleasure a Horded tothe people, it would prove a most v&lubla publication from a purely historical point of view. Mr. Ralph 11. Tnalr the chief clerk in the Adiununt Geneial's Department has devoted much time and attention to the procurement of these valubie pictures. And indeed they are very valubie even now. The visitor loots at Grant and bnerman and Sheridan, B3 they were twenty years ago, and he exclaims, "Alps, how changed now from the freshness and vigor cf mauhood!" Theee horsemen and their compatriots were not injured by the shot and shell of the hostile batteries cor by the insidious diseases wh:ch bait upon the warrior; they escaptd all these, lint tine, alo'y. surely creepir-g atorg, has left h'.8 mark upon them. As I write these lines one of them, the great est and Etubbornest of all, is suffering de feat at tbe hands of that unconquerable ene my, ceatb. And soon they will a!i bs gone, to live only in the remembrance of posterity end on tbe pages of history. A hundred year3 hence,. and the co'lsction will be a hundred times mora valuable than it is now. I turnexi over the pages acd there I found our gallant Indiana warriors. There was Craft, with whom I spent a delightful day at the Terre Haute en campment when the regiment was being organized. And here ae Harrison, Gresham, Wallace, Ecribner, Hovev, Meredith Sandereon, Anthony, and other gallant leadsrs, eorre living and some now dead, but all of whom deserve well of their country. . Here on this page is the face and form of one who wa3 the soldu-r's friend, cut off In bis- prime. He had nevertheless done enough to earn the gratitude of a sorrowing nation. When Janie I. McPhersoa fell great soldier died. It wa3 my good fortune to know him inlimatelv. I never shall forget that bright day in Jane, 1S5G, when at his invitation, 1 went with a gy party to p:cnia with him at Fort Delaware. Ha was then a Lieutenant in tbe regular army stationed at the Fort which was built on an island in the middle ot the Dalawore nearly opposite Delaware City. As we reclined on the grass late in the afternoon, tired and waiting for the boats to come and take na across the xiver, I looked up at the huge gun which had just been mounted on theEonthcrn side of the Fort, and which was then pointed southward threateningly over our heads, and eaid to him jocularly: "This 13 a gocd piece for the birds to build their nests." "Yes", ha said. ' No one will d'starb them here very soon. Here I am, a poor Lieutenant, destined to stay here or in some other out of the way place all my life, with little chance for promotion. I hate this life of inactivity. The Government is foohVa to go to any expenss for these forts, for we shall be always or for a long time -at least at pence with every nation. We must be crowded close together bafore we have any ware." How little we know of the immediate future. The war cloud was then gathering in the bouth. It was at first perhaps, no larger than a man's hand, bat It increased slowly and surely. And when John Drrovrn's raid came, that cloud waa ready to burst ia fury over ns. And in a few years, the Southern land was wrecked, as Webster phrased it, with paternal blood. We can not do enough to honor f-ur brave and patriotic defenders, leaders and soldiers. Long may they be with us to repeat their adventures before their camp fires and to the wondering children, and may they return late into heaven. New Aleasy.

Mr. Dawey remains weih A FORTY DAYS' FAST, An Extraordinary Case at Stamford, Conn. Sadie Xtussell'a Remarkable Expert ence. New York Tribune. George Russell lives with his wife and three children in a two etory frame house at Main and Ann streets, in Algiers, as one section of the town of Stamford, Coon,, is called. On January 27 his daughter S3die, who Is in her sixth year, after she came from school in the afternoon, was seized with a violent chill. Every effort was made to break it, without calling for professional aid, by the use of warm drinks and cloths, but it continued until the child was completely exhausted, lasting about three hours. The chill was followed immediately by an Intense fever, that wss accompanied by a slight delirium. Bs ccmlne alarmed at her condition, Mr. Kuscell called Dr, Hogers to see the child. There

was such a variety of symptoms at first tht it was difficult todeternine the nature of ths diceeee, but after tbe conditions bca-n somewhat settled the d'seasS was diagnosed as meningitis. The child's face was a tlr!gh icarlet, bat without rash. The pulsation of the arteries in the neck was increased to such an extent that each throb couli be distinctly seen, and when ft It by the fingers the blood C3ü!d bs distJcguIihed running ttrjaja the swollen vessels. There was a great disturbance in ths organs of respiration. The tieatb, t times, was taten ia short, quiet catps. which would bs followed by a period in which the respiration was greatly prolonged, and taken eo easily ts to be hardly noticeable. Another peculiar condition was an increased sensitiveness ot the entire surface of the body. The skin was exceedingly hot to the toncb, and when slightly pressed seemed to produce distress The body could not bear the slightest weight, and even a sheet that covered tne child induced discomfort. In tbe early progress c f the disease the patient was attacked by spasms of tho most violent character. It teemed during their continuance as if the whole muscular system was involved. Tbe lead was drawn backward so that it stood at nearly a right angle with the body; the chest and abdominal region were drawn op into knotty protuberances, and the muscles in ths legs were fall of bunches and were twisted out of shaps. The agony that the child Buffered could not be told in words. She cried piteously, and in the height ot the paroxysms her voice could be heard in the neighboring houses, and persons passing frequently etopmdte learn the catiee of the heartrending waüs. After the first attack there were no chilis noticed. A raging fever acd frequent spasmodic muscular attacks continuel for about three weeks. The child tossed in bed and threw herself from one end to the other ot it, acd in apparent attempts to get away irom the terrible paroxysms. She could not b '.and the bedclothes upon her body, end it required a constant watcher at the bedside to keep her from beinjr. uncovered. She was wildly delirious duiiDg this period, and exhibited a wonderful degree of strength, equal at times to an adulL As her mind wandered she talked about the ordinary incidents at school, went through her spelling lessons, and worked out examples upon a slate that in her mind she held in front ot her. At iecees the played with, the girls, laughed at their merry pranks, and called them by name. She also had ether forms of delusion. Her great difficulty, as indicated by her actions, seemed to be in her head. Her hsncs, when unhampered, flew at once toter head, and she pressed upon her temples and pulled at her hair. About four weeks ago the fever subsided, the spasmodic contractions ceased, and Ehe sank into a comatose state. The trouble in her head remained, however, for she frequently and involuntarily threw up her hands and streck her head a sharp blow.

After she eank into the stupor she still exhibited great restlismess, that seemed to alternate with a quiescent ccniition, in which breathing was hardly perceptible, and the functions of the vital organs were per fenced elowly and weakly. The case was puzzling to Dr. Hogers, and he cal'ed a consultation, at which Drs. Birch, Hunperford, and Geib were present. The treatment that Dr. Hogers had given the child was approved by the consulting physicians, but they expressed surprise at the woncerful tenacity cf the disease. Taey were unanimous in the opinion that tbe patient had hardly one cbance in a hundred to live. Two weeks ago the physicians cave the child up and told her parents that it was uselefs to gwe her any more medicines: that nothing could be done for her relief. Ths little girl still remained in the comatose state, and the day after the physicians had given her up her parents thought that sbe was dead. There were no signs of breathing, and her father prepared to lay her out. She gave evidence before this was done thai she was alive by breathing slowly. She lit gercd in this condition, at one time appearing as if she were dead, after remaining In this state for eome time apparently coming bacs: to life. This hanging between life and death continued until last Friday, when a change for the better took pit ce. The girl's breath came more natural Jy, and the gave evidence of returning consciousness by calling her sister Mamie, and after a few hours recognized her mother who had icarcely left her bedside sines the child was taken tick, eeven weeks ago. According to tbs statements of the parente, the sick child has not taken any food from tbe time she was taken sick until last Friday, when ehe ate a little milk and beef tea, teing a period of forty-five days. The child was unable to swallow, either from tne effects cf paroxysms or from physical inability to perform the act. In the early part of heriiltcssshe was able to take a little water, but seemed to have a dislike for food. Her lips were kept moist by repeated applications cf a wet cloth to them. Fjr some time prior to her rerurn to cansciousness the fac'al muscles and tbs right arm were partially paralyzed.
