Are you tired Of being sick?

We want to say word to the men, wo-
men and girls who work in stores, offices
and factories. There are hundreds OF thou
sands of you in the country. Very few of
you are we'll. You are shut up too much
and exercise too little. In this way you get
sick. Your blood is bad, your digestion
poor, your head often aches, you don't feel
feel like work. Your liver, stomach and
kidneys are out of order. Parker's Tonic
has cured hundreds of such cases. 1t is
pure, sure and pleasant.

In the immediate vicinity of the houss
occupied by Senator Hale Is the famous
block in which once lived James G. Blaine,
Gen. Sherman. Senator West, Of Louisiana;
Gen. Van Vliet, Of the army, and Fernando
Wood. This in its time was one Of the most
noted blocks in Washington. West. who Is
now one Of the district commissioners, alone
occupies his house. Gen. Sherman has
moved to ST. Louis and his house Is rented.
Van Vliet is on the retired list and his house
is rented. Mr.. Blaine sold his house for less
than he gave for it (he having purchased 1t
when real estate in that locality was at its
highest, to a broker, William II. Travsrs,
of New York, whose daughter and son-in-
law, Representative Wadsworth, Of New
York, now occupy itduring the winters. The
Fernando Wood house and the one adjacent
to it are occupied by the famous John
Chamberlain as restaurant. Immediately
across the street to the west towards the
Arlington, is the famous Gov. Morgan
house. This was occupied by Gov. Morgan
when he was in the senate, and subsequently
was the residence Of Hamilton Fish during
his entire administration of the state de-
partment. This house was the center Of so.

pay almost the entire salary as secretary Of
state, $1,000, for the furnished house owned
by Mr.. Hutchinson, of the Alaska Fur

Evarts is said to still boast that of his entire
salary as secretary Of state there was exactly

rent. On street, to the north Of the Cham.

tice Waite has recently bought and the
much larger house Of Mr.. William L. Chan

town, and gave up house in which he had

Waite's is o large double Louise owned by

IBy telegraph to the Dispatch.I
WASHINGTON, ID. c., January 70.
A controversy has been carried on re-
Gently in the columns Of the National
Republican, Of this city, between DIR.
A. Y. =. Garrett. who was Jefferson
Dayis's physician during the war, and
Mr.. Hidell, who, during the same pc
Rod. held the Office Of private secretary
to Alexander II. Stephens, touching the
adherence or non-sdherenee OF Davis
during the war TO the doctrine Of States
rights. Hidell stated in communlca-
ton to the Republican that all OF DAVIS s
Cabinet officers, as well as Vice-Presi-
dent Stephens. distrusted the sincerity
of Dayis's adherence TO the doctrine OF
States rights. and were fully of the be-
lief that he Davis aimed at the SUI
preme dictatorship Of the Coniederacy.
DR.. Garnett replied, denying the state
ments of Hidell. and finally announced
his intention of writing Davis on the
matter. He did write Davis, and now
furnishes the Republican with an auto
graph letter on the subject from that
gentleman, of which the following is
copy:
BEAUvoIR, MISS, Jan. %, 1888.
DR.. A. y. j. Garrett:
NY Dear Sif,-Yours Of the 18th IN
slant has this day been received, and to
your inquiry | reply that though 1t is
not in my power to recite the language
employed in response to you and
others who urged me to send Con-
federate troops into Kentucky to
prevent the Federal Government
from intimidating the Legislature
and the people Of that State by military
occupation, and thus to prevent Ken
lucky from passing an ordinance OF Sc
cession. | do well remember that to
YOU. as to others. answered substan-
tially that would not do such violence
TO the rights Of the State. No one
could have felt deeper interest or
more afTectiOnate regard for Kentucky
than did, and it may well be
that | did not believe the people
of Kentucky-a State especially
distinguished in the early period of her
history for the assertion of State rights
and State remedies-cOuld be driven
from the maintenance of creed which
had ever been her point of pride. My
answer. as correctly stated by you,
shows that my decision asnot based on
expediency, andhowever reluctant may
have been to reject the advice ofyourself
and other friends, in whose judgment
and sincerity had implicit confidence
| would not for all the considerations
involved disregard the limitations OF
our Constitution and violate the cardi-
nal principle which had been the guiding
star of my political life.
With grateful remembrance OF your
kindness in years gone by and admlra-
ton for your manly fidelity in the times
of seyercst trials, ! am. ever truly your
friend, JEFFERSON DAVIS.

ANXIETY FOR STEWART.
His Fate still UncertaiD-GrneraI WoiseleY
Not AnxIous About Him.

Ivy cabic 10 the DlNpat'u'I
LONDON. January 2G.-IntenSe anx-
iety is felt for the fate of General Stew
art. and officials make 10 effort to con-
ceal their deepening disappointment. as
tidngS still fail to come. Alarming
rumors are flying about the city con-
corning the fate Of the brave fellows
who fought at Abu-Klea Wells. and
then disappeared in the desert beyond.
The apprehension that serious disaster
has occurred is gaining ground.
The transport Deccan has been or
dered to be in readiness to convey a
regiment to Malta. and from there to
Egypt, if occasion requires. a dis
patch from Alexandria to the Exchange
Telegraph Company says General
Wolseley has sent reinforcements from
Korti to General Stewart, and that he
himself is about to press forward.
At 2:30 =. NJ. the War Office made
public the contents of dispatch re-
ceiyed this afternoon from General
Wolseley at Korti. He says he has
not received any further news from
Stewart. He assures the Government
that, in his opinion, there is no cause for
anxiety in this long absence of intclli-
ecnce. The first news Of the bat
tie at Abu Klca, the dispatch
says, which was received at korti
four days after the fight, was
brought in by Bashi Bazouks.
the last of those who were following
Stewards army left in the little band
that carried the story of the fight across
the desert. No information but that
brought by these Arabs has yet reached
Korti. Whatever additional reports
Stewart may have dispatched, Wolseley
says, must come by camel courierS, with
an ordinary British escort.

The Weather in Richmond yesterday
rds clear and cold.
The Hitch I'm the Illinois Legislature.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. January 90
Both branches of the General Assem-
bly, met this evening. No quorum was
present, and an adjournment was taken
until tomorrow. The delay in making
the official canvass of the vote
for State officers consequent upon
the failure of the House to or
ganize has kept Governor 0gleSby
and other oflicials-elect, who are not
their own successors, out Of their re-
spectiye positions for two weeks. At
the outset the matter was only the
source Of little vexation, but
it has now become expensive. The
men who they are to succeed are
not only in possession of the offices, but
of salaries as we'll. These newly-elected
officers want to compromise this trouble
to an extent at least that will permit
them to get into their positions and their
names on the payroll. During the re-
cess Of the Legislature they have fixed
up proposition which their friends will
submit when the two houses assemble.
They propose that resolution be passed
recognizing the House as being under
temporary organization only, yet invi'
ting the Senate to meet with the pur-
pose of conducting the canvass.
