he will do tomorrow only as he predetermines
what he will do or by the order Of a superior,
and that God does not know what will come
to pass in his dominions only as he foreplsns
(Presbyteriens say foreorda'ns) or by intor-
nation from some superior being. But this
last supposition is incompatible with the ma
ture of God; therefore God does foreplan or

The Blair Matter.

The Cincinnati; Commercial! takes this
sensible view of the Frank Blair matter:
The President disclairns any intention Of
indorsing BARS hostility to Chase, by
sending the former to the army. 1t has,
pre- badly, been generally observed that the
President is not sens tlye on matters of per-
scnal dignity regarding himself, and it is not
surprising that he should be found wanting
in appreciation of the sentiment of others in
that regard. He has an off hand, often odd
way, of doing things, and it is not ineom-
patiblc with his character to presume that
his idea in returning Blair his Major General
commission was that he might b. transfer ed
from position in which he was making
mischief, to one in which he would be out Of
the way and Of service to the country. 1t is
matter of history that General Blair was a
brave and efficient officer in the field, and
has, during the winter, made b mself rather
disagrecable member of Congress. So
we may presume the President meant ex-
actly what he said when he disclaimed any
intention of treating the Secretary of the
Treasury with disrespect In the disposition
made of General Blair. The Secretary will,
we are certain, upon mature reflection, take
this view Of the case.

respectfully say to our brother editor that he

fers her dress to draggle the pavements, but
,astefully loops them over her snowy-petti'

a lowed to touch the ground, but only reach
to the ankle. This fashion is demanded not
only by neatness and comfort, but health
itself, while in the larger cities it is almost a
necessity, if one would reach home with a
whole dress, as the crowded STATE of their
thoroughiares renders it impossible for a
lady to walk with train, there not being
space for her to keep it free from the rushing
feet behind. So ladies buy "a page" as the
vendors call the convenient elastic strap, and
if one of them cannot be found in our. Me-
tropols, buy yard of elastic and put hook
and eye on it. 1t will save you deal Of wear
and tear. and then, too, you'll be in the
"height of the fashion"

DEAR SIR-Among the benevolent associa-

have frequently been brought to the notice
of this department. 1t is not only pleasure,
but regard it as an official duty, to COM
mend the Christian Commission to public
confidence and respect, as an institution
whose labours cannot fail to contribute
greatly to tho welfa e of our armies.
Yours truly, E NJ. STANTON,

BACKED OuT.-A spirited young lady Of
this city accepted the offer of a situation
that of driving a one horse wagon, used in
delivering goods to customers,-banteringly
offered her by q young man, yesterday, on
condition that he would enlist. Much TO his
surprise, she jumped into the wagon, seized
the reins, and drove to Bitzer's recruiting
headquarters at the Eichelberger's Hotel
Here the young mans courage failed him
and he made square back out, That young
man would hardly do for soldier.
