Mrs. of Danville, was a constant sufferer of headache and nervousness. She was sent to me for glasses by her physician, who failed to relieve her with drugs.

Bristow, fourth assistant postmaster general, will proceed to Havana tomorrow to take charge of the postal affairs of the Island of Cuba. The postmaster general declined to say whether or not Director General of Posts Rathhone would be suspended. It is said, however, that the fact that Gen. Bristow will assume these duties does not necessarily indicate that Mr.

Rathbone will be relieved of all connection with the service. Gen. Bristow outranks the director of posts, and the latter might operate as a substitute, though on this point no statement is vouchsafed. Mr. Bristow will remain in Cuba during the pending investigation, and probably, until the service is reorganized.
