CORSETS.

A Philadelphia physician, in a letter
to a lady on the deleterious effect of
wearing corsets, has the following re-
marks: 81 anticipate the happy period
when the fairest portion of the fair Gre.
alton will step forth uLincumbered
with slabs Of walnut and tiers of whale
bone. The constitution of our females
must be excellent, to withstand, in any
tolerable degree, the terrible infections
of the corset eight long hours every
day. No other animal could survive
it. Take the honest OK, and enclose
his sides with hooppoles, put an oaken
plank beneath him, and grid the whole
with bed cord, and demand Of him
labor. He would labor, indeed, but it
would be for breath"

The following interesting letter we cop
from the National Intelligencer Of yesterday
Il is communication from DR.. DRAKE, o
Lexington, Kentucky, to the editors-ant
satisfactorily supports the declaration made b!
Mr.. CLAY in his address, that he informed DR.
Drake, and other gentlemen. before he lief
the state, Of his intention TO vote for Mr.
ADAMS IN preference to General Jackson.
Ls1ington, Ken. March 81, 1895.
GENTLEMEN AT different times
before Mr.. CLAY left this place for
Washington, last Fall, I had converse.
tons with him on the subject Of the
choice Of President by the House OF
Representatives. In all Of them, he
expressed himself a. having, long be-
fore, decided in favor Of Mr.. ADAMS
in case the contest should lie between
that gentleman and General JACKSON
NV last interview with him was,
think, the day before his departure,
when he was still more explicit, as it
was then certain that the election would
be transferred to that tribunal, and
highly probable that he would not be
among the number returned. In the
course of this conversation, took oc-
casion to express my sentiments with
respect to the delicate and difficult cir
eumstances under which he would be
placed-on which he remarked, that /
could not more fully apprehend them
than he did himself, but that nothing
should deter him from the duty Of CIV
ing his vote, and that no state Of things
could arise, that would Justify him in
preferring General JACKSON to Mr..
ADAMS, or induce him to support the
former. So decisive. indeed, were his
declarations on this subject, that had
he voted otherwise than he did, /
should have been compelled TO regard
him as deserving that species of GEN.
sure which has been cast upon him for
consistently adhering to an early and
deliberate resolution.
When the suggestion Of sinister
vote on his part first reached us, ! felt
disposed to offer; without delay, the

Their to be unjusuy accused Of a crimi-
nal offence but, presuming that the
result Of the inquiry instituted in the
House of Representatives would pre-.
vent a reiterauion Of the imputations
cast upon him, | thought it unnecessa-
~ to obtrude my humble testimony
upon the public. Finding this, howe
yer, not to be the case, and regarding
the character of the nation, as well as
tina, Of two distinguished individuals,
to be involved in the unceasing repe-
tition Of charges which have been
kept alive and disseminated merely by
repetition, I consider it my duty to OPP
pose to their further diffusion the state
ments which have mrde, and, without
hesitation, shall leave it with the i'm
partial and intelligent people of the
United States to appreciate my mo-
tives, and the value of the evidence
which have, spontaneously, offered to
their consid Grafton.

RIOTOUS PROCEEDINGS.

Nc,D- Fork, March 2l.-An Irish shll-
lelah frolic took place this morning in
the neighborhood Of the marble build
ings. Several hundreds of the sons OF
Erin assembled on the occasion, and a
regular pitched battle took place, head
ed on the one side by paddy up stairs,
and on the otherby Paddy down stairs.
Joseph L. Hays and Holman were soon
among them; but the combatants were
not to be disappointed. Homan was
soon levelled, with three large cuts on
the head, bestowed by the nervous arm
of a son of Erin. Hays escaped almost
certain death from large shillelah,
by movement vulgarly called dodg-
ing. About ten of the ringleaders
were taken into custody, and fully
committed. The disturbance, we un
derstand, commenced about rattle,
on Monday last. Several skirmishes
took place in the intermediate time, and
this morning a general battle was
fought. american.

the place where it was written, with
some other circumstances which you
mention, render the allusion probable;
But, for whomsoever it was meant, l

| say pleasure, because your brief and
simple picture of the life and demeanor
of the excellent person whom trust
