The Head Of II. P. Willis.

The New York Tribune, or one of its
correspondents, among other tales about
the President, lately said:
The President is fond of display, and
is rather foppish in his tastes and style of
dress. For instance, he has his hair oiled
and curled after the fashion of y. p.
Willis"
This allusion has provoked the following
reply from Mr.. Willis:
Now, may not only rescue the water
of 1dlewild from the reproach Of setting
an example to the Chief Magistrate which
is any way artificial or efieminate, but it
may also furnish Mir. Bancroft with an
historical item as to the economy and
simplicity Of republican models. if
record these facts. First this humble
head which his Excelcncy the President
is thus authentically declared to have Sc
lected for his imitation, has hitherto
known no external culture or cmbcllsh-
ment beyond daily souse in cold water
never, to my knowledge, having been
touched by oil, pomatum, curling fluid,
curling tongs, or other unguent art of
emollicnt. Second. it has never known
even the luxury of hair-dreSser or bar
Der, having been cut, from boyhood till
now, whenever and wherever it was in
conveniently long, by scissors in my own
hands. Third, its daily offication mod
el for the President, Though | was VI hol-
ly unaware. hitherto, Of having ever been
seen by his Excellency) is performed
without crest, plume or livery, it beng
known to the friends and neighbors bv
the covering of a straw hat-which straw
hat, may add, is now near the close of
it's wear for second summer, and was
bought in the village Of Newburg for
eighteen cents.
Dear friend of the Tribune Up. S.
should like to be believed to grow old.
! Willing to serve my country in any way,

the President. though would rather it

ply as the truth compels me to distlll."
