Savannah, Ga.

From the Chicago Elite Netus, Dec. 2,
Capt. Harnett, of the Harnett house.
Savannah, Ga, believes in advertising.
Probably there is no hotel of its size in the
United States that has been so thoroughly
advertised as the old Harnett house, and it
always has been and is now one of the most
satisfactory hotels in the south. Within
the past month Capt. Harnett has also as
sumed the management of the Marshall, in
the same city, which means a restoration of
its old prestige. The Marshall house was
never conducted better than now.

Having been a patient at the Retreat for

much benefited by the treatment 1 have re-

by all of The children, as well as others. On ac-
| count OF her kind and gentle manner, she is
we'll qualified for the position. and is an intel
| ligent and refined lady. The Oldest girl in the
| ward Ia called Lizzie. She could neither walk
Or talk when brought here but thanks to our
| talented and good DR.. John R. Wheat (who is
much beloved by all OF the patients) she can do
both now, and walks TO Sunday scht oil and

slider that they suffer good deal.
John Lee, nephew of our Governor, has
lately had severe operation performed on

Our President. Mrs. Jenkins, devotes almost
the whole OF her time in managing affairs,
and visits all of the patients every day. She
is always present when the operations are per-

Mrs. Jenkins assistant, rather book
keeper, Is very efficient, and a lady in every
sense of the word.
Our pretty and attentive little housekeeper,
Miss Ida P.--supplies the table with the

renders herself very popular by her gentle
and sweet ways. and is very efficient in her
position.
The two resident physicians are Drs. WiDfree
and Stone. DR.. Winfree is the physician il
charge and has been since July last His
ability as a physician, and his hIgh-toned
morals have endeared him to ali connected
with the Institution. DR.. Stone too, is highly
thought of.
The charges here are very moderate, and
hope our people will look into the merits of
the Retreat and come to 1t whenever their
health requires such treatment. fol I am sure
they cannot fail to be benefited and pleased.
They will have every attention from the
nurses. who are all ladies, and always have
kind words for their patients, as well as being
very attentive to their wants.

About week ago Samuel W. Lincoln,
son OIL our worthy countyman, Mr.. Abra-
hom Lincoln, was arrested in Baltimore,
where he had goue to engage IN business,
on charge of receiving letter belonging
to another party taking from it a money
order for $25, and collecting the money on
the order at the City Post-ofice.
On Saturday last the case was heard by
United States Commissioner Rogers, and
young Lincoln was hUnorably discharged;
ihe Commissioner holding that the evidences
Showed that it was o case of mistaken iden-
i,y; that the letter was not delivered to
Lincoln, for he was at different place
rom where the delivery was made at the
ina.
We make this statement upon the author.
tty of Colouei OFerrall, who, when in.
formed of the arrest, went Immediately to
Baltimore, investigated the matter and ap.
,Jsafed before the Commissioner as tbs
friend and attorney of young Lincoln.
We hear, further, that the detective sup
