In a conversation with Gov. Fowle yesterday he expressed his regret that he would not be able i to witness the game of foot-ball between the University and Wake Forest boys on Monday in consequence of his arrangement to leave for New Berne on that day. Said the Governor: "If there is one thing that I care most for and get the least of, it is foot-ball-'' The Governor is very fond of the noble game and greatly regrets that he is not able to be present, lie may possibly return, however, iu time for the Trinity-Wake Forest game on the 23d. poet but rather bleak In winter. The climate In Chicago is as delightful in the hot season as it Is rugged in winter.

The many handsome residences near by will afford the officers and their families pleasant society, and in the summer season the fort will doulit-iess prove very attractive to visitors. Boats may be run from Chicago in about an hour and a half, and It will be a pleasant trip for Chicagoans to go down to the fort for dress parade and return the same evening. The Chicago and Northwestern railroad skirts the shore, so that communication withthe city is easy by this means. Evanston, the educational and literary suburb of Chicago, and to Chicago what Cambridge is to Boston, is twelve miles distant. There tho people of the fort whose tastes run in that direction may find cultured society, with colleges ami an astronomical observatory.

On the whole, Fort Sheridan will doubtless be considered as desirable a station a any in tlie United States. Officers of the United States army in time of peace have but light duties, and aro usually socially inclined. No city in the United States is gayer In winter than Chicago, with its balls and parties, its theatres and iieras in full blast, while there are more buildings especially built for club houses than in any other American city. An officer ho would object to being ordered to Fort Sheridan would certainly be regarded with nsUxiishment by tho war depart incut. IT IS 600N TO BE BUILT NEAR CHICAGO.

A new United States fort is to be built near Chicago, and is to be called Fort Sheridan, for the late Gen. Philip H. Sheridan. The location Is twenty-six miles north of the city, at a suburban station called Ilighwood.

The lake shore, extending north from Chicago, rises gradually, until at Highwood there in quite a bluff The shore Is cut by ravine running perpendicular with the lake shore; the country round about is wooded, and from the bluff there is a view of the lake surface. Lake Michigan is about fifty miles wide; hence the east- rORT 8HKK1DAK. FLAN or roRT IUEKJOA POST, BIOUWOOO, ILLS. i Riding Hall and Gym 0 Chapel. nasluni 1 Commandant's Quarters.

The term "Fort" is perhaps a misnomer, for Fort Sheridan is to Iw simply a collection of oflireis' and soldiers' quarters, with the attendant buildings. In all there will be thirty-five structures. These will surround a parade ground 1,000 feet long by 1,000 feet wide. A tower will rise to a height of 210 feet.

There will be a station containing machinery for pumping and for lighting the post by electricity, there being a number of electric lights on the top of the tower. A wharf will extend 1.000 feet into the lake. a a Tho handsomest building, of course, will be that of the commanding officer. It is to be two stories high, with a basement and an attic. There will be a stone Kirch in front, and another ou the north side of the house.

A broad hall will run through tho house. On the south side of tho hall are the parlor and sitting room and dining room, connected by sliding doors so that they may be all thrown into one. In the northeast corner is the library. Tho second floor Is divided into six sleeping rooms, witb bath rooms. The bouse will be heated by steam, though there will be fireplaces in many of the rooms.

This house is to cost Tho commandant of the post will doubtless need all the room, for, living so near Chicago, he will have many entertainments to return to the inhabitants of that hospitable city. The Held officers' houses will each be two stories high, with Ave rooms on each floor, and with basement and attic. They are to cost Uncle Sam $0,000 each. Those for the company officers TUB QKUAT TOWEtt. are to cost $,000 each.

Then there Is to bo an officers' mess building, 223 by 45, two stories and attic. The west end of this structure will be used for an officers' club ruoui.

The stables are to be two for Ute quartermaster and four fur the cavalry. The guard house is G5 by 85 feet, and will contain eljrht steel cells.

The hospital will be three stories high and will cost $38,000. There is to be a dead house near the hospital. The chapel is situated on the west of the parade ground, and will seat 800 people und cost $18,000.

Joe Person's Remedy ahead of anything I have ever seen; we try it for everything, on man and beast, and like a good friend, it is always ready to help us. I was a frequent sufferer from severe attacks of colic; at such times I would take a big dose, a wineglass and a half full, which always gave me immediate relief, and its continued use has entirely cured me of the trouble. Being a fanner, I frequently have accidents among my stock. On occasion I poured some of the Wash on a hog which had been badly bitten and torn by dogs, and the places were alive with vermin; as soon as the Wash touched the affected parts the vermin would leave and there was no further trouble. I have saved two valuable head of stock by an application of the Wash, and, unlike other things usually used, it is perfectly painless.

1 think -all farmers who own Mock should try th's great remedy in such rases. It hi worth its weight in gold. If all knew the worth of your Remedy and Wash, I do not think you could supptv the demand. ARCH. J.
