1t IS ABOUT twenty years since one of
the members Of the present Cabinet was
a Member Of Congress from q dista 1t
Western State. He had the usual right
of desi grating single candidate for ad :
mission ito the West Point Military
Academy. The applications made to
him for vacancy which then existed
were not many, but among them was a
letter from boy of sixteen or seven
teen years Of aye, who, without any ac-
companylDg recommendations or refer
enres, asRed the appointment for him
se'f. Tie member dismissed the appeal
from hisiM.nd, with perhaps passing
thoug the forwardness and impu-
+deuce ofthe. stripping who could aspire
to such place on no Other grounds
than his own desire to get good educa-
ton at the public expense.
But, happening short time afterward
to be i'll the little village whence the lie It.

to his memory, and he thought he
would begu'le The few hours of leisure

Of much inquiry, to small tailor sshop
on the outskirts of the town; and when
he was admitted at the door he found a
lad sitting cross legged upon the tailor
tench, mendiny ii rent in an old pair of
pantalouns. But this lad had another
occupation besides his manuel toll
Near by, ON a small block ofwood, rested
book of abtruse science, to which he
turned his eyes whenever they could be
transferred from the work in his hands.
The member accosted him by the name
given in the letter. and the lad replied:
Il am the person" You wish. then.
TO be appointed cadet at West Point?"
Il do, he rejoined "Why?' asked
the Congressman Because. answered
the tailor youth, IL feel that was born
for something better than mending old

with him, and was so pleased with his

THE "LADIEs' MAN"

By his air and gait. the ultra fashion
ablesstyles Of Els clothing, the killing
curl Of his moustache, the look and
die expression of his simpering face
his stream of small talk, and sundry
"therisigns and tokens Of a plethora of
vanity, and lark Of soul and brain, you

marr,es one of these futteries is to be

TMPORTAN Mt FROM FREDERICK, MD

CORRESPONDENCE Of the Washington Chronicle
BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. 30-Passengers who
arrived here tonight from Frederick, Mary
land, report that rumor was current there and
believed, that Steuart,s cavalry, numbering
twelve hundred men, were crossing the Poto-
mac last night and this morning, ten or twelve
miles this side of the Point Of Rocks.
At the time the train started it was not
known how many had got over, or how tar
they had advanced into this State: 1t is be-
ieved that they intend destroying the bridge
over the Monocacy, four miles this side OF
Frederick, and then dash into the latter city,
DESTROY all the stores accumulated there, and
then move to other points in the western part
of the State, and after repeating the same OPP
eration recross into Virginia.
It is confidently stated in Baltimore, that II
they venture far enough into the INTERIOR the
whole party will be captured. 1t IS raining
rapidly and the Potomac river is swelling.

Hospital will long remember, with gratitude,
the kindness of the ladies and officers in

The Dinner was served in the dining
hall, ats P NJ; and although the arrange
ment of the tables lacked the touch Of ','wo-
mans hand, it was as near ''the thing as
one could wish, being arranged by the cooks
s. w. t. Cook, and E. A. Fisk, who, by the
way, are thoroughly versed in the cuisine de-
partment of the kitchen. The "Dinner'' was
complete in quantity and quality, consisting of
roast turkey, chickens, oysters, various kinds
of vegetables, pies cal es, and other articles of
pastry. The whole whole affair wasa complete
Success, all being entirely satisfied. This Hos
pital is under the direction Of DR.. Sylvester
Upson, an attentive and efficient Surgeon
Edward Coe is acting Steward, and John G.
Chubb, Ward Master; both agreeable and at
tentive to their duties. The corps of atten-
dants are kind and attentive to every want Of

general good management, it. is surpassed by
none. "A PATIENT.

Col. Ludlow, agent on the part or the U. 3
government for the exchange Of prisoners, has
arrived here, and is preparing for another ex-
tensiye exchange.
It had been nearly arranged for an entire ex~

lamation Of President Davis, which is "a direct
violation of the cartel, has changed the ac~
ton.
The first impulse Of the Administration was
to let the cartel go, but they have formerly
telcgraphed to all points to retain all commls-
stoned officers until it is determined what IS
meant by President Davis's proclamation
against Butler. The exchange will, therefore,
