O?E WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, Nov. 23, 1885. The adage that a calm precedes a storm is as true in the political world as elsewhere, and its truth is plainfully apparent just now to all newspaper correspondents in Washington. The members of Congress who were here two weeks ago have left, some to run back home for a few days and others over to New York to see about stock speculations in which they sometimes invest a portion of their hard-earned $5,000 a year. In a few weeks more, however, the winds will fairly howl with spicy news, and then you may look for newsy letters. Speaker Carlisle arrived on Thursday and ever since has been confined to his room at the Biggs by serious indisposi? tion. He is improving, however, and expects soon to be well enough to receive his many callers. The Second Comptroller has just disallowed two items in the account of a Naval director?one for the purchase of postage stamps and the other for photo? graphing anatomical specimens, on the ground that an investigation shows that the payments were really for two por? traits of Surgeon General Wales?one for the office and the other for his house. Portraits of living officials made to grat? ify their vanity are not the kind of ana? tomical specimens contemplated by law in appropriation bills for the advance? ment of scieucc. The President expects a fight to be 5 made against some of his appointments, but believes that there will be no general opposition to them, and that the majority of Republican Senators will oppose all attempts to defeat confirmation except where animpeached facts are presented. If there is one thing more than another that the President is sensitive about it is the. criticism made of his selection, of persons to fill the offices within his gift. To avoid giving grounds for harsh criti? cism he moves cautiously, but expects in due time to have all the best offices filled with hard shell Democrats.- That'riia^ be good news to the Democrats, yet at the same time it is uo disappointment to Republicans. Business in'the Treasury Department U disposed of with greater dispatch now than at any time before in the memory of any of its employees. Clerks are not only checked and reported to the chief clerk by tho watchman whin they come late but are also reported by detectives if found engaged in social talk in the halls daring office hours. The new order is business during business hours and gossip afterwards. There is neither smoking e ? pipes or cigars nor reading of newspapers to be seen anywhere iu the building,and any employee found indulging iu these luxuries may not be surprised if he receives a yellow envelope from Secretary Manning containing, an indefinite far lough. In some of the other Departments, however, more freedom becoming to gentlemen of leisure may be found. In the State Department, for instance, everything is nigh toned, and if a clerk comes late or has occasion to leave early no questions are asked. He is regarded as the very soul of honor and it is "assum? ed that he has a good reason for-every? thing he does, and as he is not one of the sons of toil there is no reason why he should be a slave of time. Time is made for slaves, not for Secretary Ba'-prd's diplomats.. In the Department of Justics the employees are hard worked, but they work spasmodically as do most lawyers. There is not much regularity about their coming and going. If they happen to come before eight in the morning they are just as apt to leave by twelve or one o'clock noon, and as likely to come late in the day and stay till late at night? Attorney General Garland himseif always gets to the office earlier than any one else ia the department, usually before eight a. m., and he requires his private: secre? tary -to be there on time to meet him to make an early start on the day's business. . Secretary Lamar of the Interior js the first to come and the last to leave his department, and while kind and consider? ate to all who aro under him, requires them to work faithfully from nine till roar. In order that the work of the department requiring correspondence aod examinations of records to its discharge may be expedited ho has ordered that no persons shall be admitted to the building after two o'clbck. From nine till two every person calling is accorded a cour? teous interview and respectful hearing, but after two o'clock the Secretary mast have time to himself in which to consider and act upon matters prepared in the meanwhile and submitted by chiefs of the bureaus for his final decision. This often keeps him at his desk till the shades of the evening are low, bat the Secretary is an' indomitable worker and cares not for hoars when duty requires hi* attention, and he is determined that the; business of his department shall be disposed of with all dispatch passible consistent with the good of the pablic service. In the office of the Postmaster General everything moves on with the regularity and promptness of the coming and going of the mails, and any person' having business before the department knows that it will be taken up and disposed of in its regular order without any postpone? ment or deiay. General Viias. says to his clerks: You mast be up and doing. The Departments of War and Navy movo slowly but with the decision characteristic of Secretaries Eudipott and Whitney when action is necessary. ?It is hard to get the chieis of divisions in these two department j to realize that they should act except when and in tho manner that thoir own judgment tell? them is right aud proper. Each seems to think that he alone is responsible in a great measure for the manner in which an order is executed, and therefore objects to dictation from a civilian. The chiefs! of the different bureau are supposed by. reason of their special training to be peculiarly well qualified to judge of the cecds cf their respective charges, and for - that reason the two Secretaries rely.; so much upon their bureau chiefs for advice in planning and executing for the good of those two depr- -tineats of the govern .ment. . H. ? He who can suppress a moment's anger may prevent a day of sorrow. ? A tract of laDd in Pickens which had been assessed at ?400 was sold at pablic auction last saleday for $1,750. ? The verdict of the Coroner's jury on the dead base ball umpire was, "He tried to please both nines." It covered the ground. ? It is estimated that in 18S2 the num? ber of passengers carried by all the rail? roads in all parts of the world was 2,400, 000,000, or on an average 6,500,000 daily. ? Ohio has no less than fifteen cows that are stamping around on wooden logs. They get used to the novelty after a bit aud the quantity of milk rather increases. ?

It Is a notable fact that the people of Atlanta and elsewhere are beginning to be thoroughly confinced that worthless compounds become "shaky" at all new innovations, while an honest preparation aover fears opposition. We do -not propose to "wipe out" others, as the field for ope? ration is large, and we accord to one and all the some privileges we enjoy. We are not so far lost to business principles as to [denounce any other. remedy as a fraud, or imitation, or as containing a vegetable poison, the effects of which are horri? ble to contemplate. The alarm need not be '.sounded, for there is ample room for all decliuing anti-potash, pine-top, slop-water compounds. If one bottle of B. B. B. is more valuable In effects than half a dozen of any other preparation, wo won't got mal about it. If ten bottles of B. B. B. cures a case of blood poison which others could not cure at all, it. only proves that E. B. B. is far the best medicine." 20,000 Bottles of B. B. B- hare been sold to parties living -inside the corporation of Atlanta since it was started two years ago! Why this wonderful sale of a new remedy in- so shorts time with so little advertising? It must be confessed that it is because B. B. B has proved itself to possess merit in the cure of blood, skin and kidney diseases. Hundreds.of home ertificates attest the fact of our claim that in Atlanta and many other points B. B. B. "are on top," and will stay there. Many persons desire to know how the B. B. B. acts ou the system. By entering the circulation, it modifies the Titrated blood globules, increases the red corpuscles, an? tagonizes all poison, vitalizes and regenerates the flagging forces, furnishes tho pabulum for rich, new blood, eliminates all poison through these; cretlons, and increases the appetite,' whllo, by Its wonderful action upon the pores of the skin, the kidneys, liver and glandular system, all effete and Impure matter is speedily .conducted from the body, leaving the blood pure* fresh and healthy. By its magical alterative powers, B. B. B. unloads the blood of alii impurities, unlocks the liver, arouses all secretions, restores nature to its 'nor* mal condition, ira clouds the troubled brain, clears and beautifies the.complexion, cheers the despon? dent, strengthens the feeble, claims the disturbed nerves, and Induces quiet and peaceful slumbers. It has been in use over twenty-five years as a pri? vate prescription in tho South.
