THE health OF Mrs. Garfield is so
much impaired the approach of car
riages to the Width House is pre-
vented, AS soon IS she is suffi-
GENTLY recovered she will leave for
her home in Ohio. The President
will stay at the soldiers Home, just
beyond the city limits. This sick
ness of Mrs. Garfield is sure to re-
vive interest in an old project for
building a new residence for the
President and his family. The To-
cation of the White House is quite
unhealthy, and its construction is
faulty in many respects.

The Governors Mansion was
taken by storm a few nights ago, by
a party of New Workers. The Gov
ernor and wife were equal to the
occasion, and at II o'clock invited
THEFT guests into their spacious

a fine supper. A friend suggests
that this is but a prelude of the

Among the names of several persons
mentioned by you some days ago as
connected with the star route jobbers,
we found to our surprise, that of Hon.
Il. D. Money, of Mississippi. We took
the earliest opportunity to ask Post
master General James concerning the
matter. We have Mr.. James authority
to say to you that he knows there is not
the least trace in the records of his de-
partment, or in any facts that have
come to his knowledge, of anything in
any way dishonorably connecting him
with the star route business. We res
speotfnlly ask you to publish this note
as an act of justice to him-who is now
absent in Mexico-and whom, from q
long and intimate acquaintance with
him since his boyhood, we know to be
one of the purcst and most honorable
of men. Respectfully,
J. 2. GEORGE.

Mr.. Davis ON StOnew all Jackson.
At the dedication OF the monument
to "Stonewalr' jackson, IN New Or
leans, on Tuesday last, after the ad,
dress by Gen. F~itzhugh Lee, Hon. JEFF,
ferson Davis was long and continuous
" called for. Mr.. Davis in o short ad-
dress said:
Friends, Countrymen, Ladies and
Gentlemen: l am thrice unfortunate
in thus being called upon to speak to
you. First because Of the address you
have lust listened to leave nothing fur
Their to be eaid. Second, because that
address was made by n who figured
40 prominently in the war; by m h
followed old Stuart 50 CALAMITY, and
who was equal in prowess and bravery
TO his commander. And yet again it is
difficult for me to speak, since our
thoughts are now turned toward the
hero whose memory we to-day are cele.
brating. The character and d OF
| Stonewall Jackson 80 sounded his glory
that an enconium can neither enlarge
or adorn his fame. 1t was complete IN
itself. 1t would be but idleness to at
tempt O eulogy of him now. 10 That
man whose image stands there, be all
honor and glory. 1t is we'll for Louis
lana that the statue was made, Tor IN
the war there was nothing we needed SO
much as artillery, and the Washington
| Artillery came to the rescue of the
country. Aye, it is well that Louis
lana should rear the statue, for In the
campaigns where he stood alone, driv-
ing the divisions of the enemy before
him. Louisiana's men stood beside him
like a stone wall.
A story has been told by Dick Taylor
illustrating the piety and christianity
of ,Jackson's character. Says Taylor,
while jackson was at Fort Republic, it
was found to be absolutely necessary to
climb the fortress, an hazardous enter
prise. just previous to the undertake.
ing jackson was found sitting alone,
while the roar OF guns was heard ana
while shells we're bursting on every side
he was found in deep prayer.
He was true to his country and he
did all that man could, trusting to God
to sustain the right. But ii would be
unjust to you, friends, to continue
speaking about the story Of Jackson.
From the time be left the Military In
stitute he battled necessarily for State
rights, self government and constitu'
tional liberty. No one expected that he
would become the great hero of our
war and stand in the minds of the Eu-
ropeans as the mightiest ch1eftain the
Confederacy ever saw. This quiet pro-
lessor rose like q meteor over the Con-
federate strife, ana like a meteor his
career was short, but it shone on until
its close.
He llyed TO, his country, never for
one moment doubling that its cause was
righteous. :,
HE died feeling as I do to-day
with great emphasis, rising on his tip
toe aud bringing down his appraised
arm vehemently) "that the cause was
founded in truth and justice. He gave
his whole heart to the cause. and the
country gave its heart to Jackson. You
men on whom he leaned honor your
selves in honoring him."

The Secretary of the Treasury
surprised every one with his ''call"
of Thursday for the principal por-
ton of the five per cent bonds. He
is much encouraged by what he
heard from New York, and in fact
from all parts of the country, that
he has no doubt but all the ives
will be continued by their owners
at three and one half per cent. The
three and a half per cents already
issued are at a premium of two and

will be no difficulty in floating 6

Congress.

THE vulgar term sweeny Is applied to a
real or imaginary wasting of the muscles
OF the extremities, and mostly referred to
as being located IN the shoulder or about
the crupper. 1t is commonly regarded as a
special evil, and ali sorts of cruel practices
and nostrums are resorted to for its cure.
The cause or causes of a generally negative
result of the treatment applied is simply
this, that sweeny, or more properly speak
ing, wasting or atrophy of the muscles of
the horses limb is, in the plurality of cases
merely one of the results of chronic disease
of some part of the limb, such as painful
corn, navicular disease and contracted
feet, or ringbone, SPAWN, &c. If cure OF
these ailments is possible the so-called
sweeny will either gradually disappear in
the course of time or will yield To treat
ment; otherwise the cure of sweeny will
prove failure. In young horses, sweeny,
or Wasting of the muscles Of the shoulder,
is often consequence OF unsteady pulling
with an Ill-tilting collar. In such u case,
relieve the animal from work, and apply
for some time, once or twice day, por-
ton of equal parts OF tincture of cantha-
rides and oil OF turpentine. The contents
of the bottle should be shaken while
applying the same. Liberty outdoors, on
pasture, will be of additional benefit.
Subsequently, give only light work in
breast harness or in sOt' padded, well MT
ting collar, until the animal becomes used
10 pulling.
