In strict Retirement.
PATTERSON, n. j., Dec. 2.-Mrs. Rob
ert Garrett has concluded to follow the
physicians advice, aud will remain viii
her unfortunate husband Mt RingwooG
until spring. On Wednesday DIR. Aller
McLane Hamilton held a consultation
with DR.. Jacobs, and they concluded il
would be unwise to remove Mr.. Garrett

shows signs OF improvement. His daily

occupies n suit OF three rooms, the win
dows OF which are barred with iron
Three nurses are with him day and
night, and these, with the doctors, are
the only persons allowed to sec him.
When the weather is mild he is taken
out for a drive, and upon these occasions
lie is allowed a few minutes converse
ton with his wife. When shut up fol
days he asks to see her, but he is told
that she has gone away. He then has
paper and envelopes brought to him
and for hours he writes letters and tele'
grains to her and friends in Baltimore
and New York. Those to his wife are
Handed her in her room and she replies
by mail. The others are destroyed.
Mr.. Garrett dresses with faultless care
and spends hours over his toilet. lie
talks continually, principally on business
matters, at times nationally aud then
again in rambling, senseless manner,
When out driving he halls every one
along the road. Whenever these people
stop they are Totioned away by the at
teudants, and this has led Mr.. Garrett to
believe that all the people in Mngwood
are deaf and dumb. Occasionally he
outwits his attendants and stops the
workmen about the place. On Tuesday
he hailed "Uncle ilass," blacksmith.
The old man, becoming frightened, ran
away and was followed by Mr.. Garrett.
The latter soon ovcrhauled Hass, and
was berating him violently when the at:
tendant came up. Garrett struggled
with the man and offered to give $780,
900 to kick "Uncle Hass,"
The estublishmentrequires twenty-one
servants, and costs on an average OF
5000 month. All the supplies are
sent daily from New York by express.
There are very few visitors now, it being
the wish OF the family to be alone.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 9.-President
Cleveland's annual message will be sent
to both houses OF Congress tomorrow,
Immediately on receipt OF the usual no.
tilcation that they are ready to receive
any communication he has to make. No
delay is anticipated in the organization,
as no deaths occurred in the recess and
there are no new members to swear in.
1t is more than probable that the read
ing OF the message will consume the
first legislative day, as it is understood
to be of unusual length. The report OF
the Secretary Of the Treasury will not be
sent to Congress until Tuesday.
