The editor of the Baltimore Apaer

lover Of coffee, says he has recently
received two, serious checks to bis

an old traveller from the East that, his
Morcha was not Morcha, and the other

Visiting recently the Commissary

The following letter from the Presi-
dent to General Mcclellan, has made
its first appearance in print in work
relating 10 the Administration Of Pres
ident Lincoln, prepared by Mr.. Ray
mold, Editor OF the New York Times,
FoRTREss MONROE, May o, 1862.
My DEAR SIR:-l have just assisted
the Secretary Of War in forming the
part of a dispatch to you, relating to
army corps, which dispatch will have
reached you long before this will. j
wish to Say a few words to you pri-
vately ON this subject i ordered the
army corps Organization not only on
the unanimous opinion of the twelve
Generals of division, but also on the
unanimous opinion of every military
man / could get an opinion from, and
every modern military book, yourself
only excepted. I'd OF coures, L did not
on my own judgpUnt pretepd to under
stand the subject. / do not thmk it
Indispensable for you to know how
your struggle against it is received in
quarters which we cannot entirely dis
regard. II rs looked, upon, as merely
an effort to pamper one or two pets,
and to persecute and degrade their sup
posed rivals. have had no word from
Sumner, Heintzelnan or Keys. The
commanders of these corps are, Of
course, the three highest officers with
you; but an constantly told that you
have no consultation or communication
with them; that you consult or comnu-
nicate with nobody but Fitz john Por-
ter, and perhaps Gen. franklin. / do
not say these complaints are just or
true; but, at all events, it is proper you
should know of their existence. Do
the commanders Of corps disobey your
orders IN anything? -,,f. l;,,,
When you relieved Gen. Hamilton
of his command, the other day, YOU
thereby lostrthe confidence Of one Of
one of your best friends in the Senate.
And here let me say. not as applicable
to you personality that Senators and
Representatives speak Of me in their
places as,they please; without question;
and that officers of the army must
cease addressing insulting letters to
them forttaking no greater liberty with
them. But to return, are you strong
enough, even with my help, to set your
foot upon the necks of Sumner, Heint-
lehman and Reyes, all at once? This
is a practical and very serious question
for you. Yours truly, A.. LINCOLN.

When the armorer made his aperance.
with his big tongs, the boy was COM
PEELED to open his mouth, while the.
Tobacco was extracted with this rough
instrument.
There now!" said the lieutenant; ssI'm,
sure that you must feel better already.
You never have any appetite with such
stuffin your mouth. Now, captain of.
the after-ground, bring a piece of old
canvass and some sand, and clean his
teeth nicely" 81 ~ '''1 s'ii 81, ~ -

ocasioned a good deal of merriment at
the boys expense. He was, however,,
completely cured of theIhabit of tobacco

Of the apparently harsh discipline which
accomplished so desirable-a result. If
some such mesure were adopted with

o A young lady who signs herself ga
Martyr to Late Hours" offers the fol-
lowing suggestions to young men:s
Dear gentlemen between the ages of
"l8 and AS" listen to few words of
gratuitous remarks. When you make
a social call for an evening, 90 away at
a reasonable hour. Have you come at
eight o'clock, an hour and half is scer-
tainly as long as the most fascinating
of you in conversation can, or rather
ought 10 use his charms. Two hours,
indeed, can be very pleasantly spent,
with music, chess, or other games,S to
Iend variety; but, kind sirs, by no
means stay longer. Make shorter calls,
and come oftener. IA girl who is
sensible, true-hearted girl will enjoy it
better and really value your acquaint-
ance more. Just conceive the agony
of girl who, well knowing the feel
ings of father and mother upon the
subject, hears the clock strike ten, and
yet must sit on the edge of her chair,
in mortal terror lest papa should put
his oft-repeated threat into execution;
that Of coming down and inviting the
gentleman to breakfast. And we girls
understand it all by experience. and
know what it is to dread the prognos-
tic of displeasure. In such cases a
sigh of relief generally accompanies
the closing of the door behind the gal
liant, and one don't get over the feeling
of trouble till safe in the arms of Nor
pheus. Even then sometimes the
dreams are troubled with some
phantom of an angry father and
distressed mother, and all because a
young man will make a longer call than
he ought to. Now, young gentlemen
friends, I'll tell you what the girls viii
do. For an hour and half they will
be most irresistably charming and .fls-
cinating; then; beware, monosyllabic
responses will be all you need expect,
and, when the limits haye been passed,
if you hear startling query coming
down stairs: 6 Isn't it time to close up?,'
you must consider it righteous pun
ishment, and taking your: hat, nleekiy
depart, sadder, and it is Hoped wi
ser man. DO not get angry, but the
next time you come be careful to keep
within just bounds. We want to rise
early these pleasant mornings, and i'm
prove the "shining hours" but when
forced to be up at such unreasonable
hours at night, exhausted nature will
speak, and as natural consequence,
with the utmost speed in dressing, we
can barely get down to breakfast III
time to escape reprimand from papa,
who don't believe in beaux-as though
he never was young-and a mild, re-
proving glance from one who nnder.
stands a little better her poor idaugh-
ter's feelings, but must disapprove out
wardly, to keep up appearances. And
now, young men, think about these
things, and don't for PHYS sake, don't
throw away your paper with a''pshaw''
but remember the safe side of ten.

The Late Gen. WadsWOrth.

The editor of the New York EUe-

worth in camp a few weeks ago, and
relates the following rs characteristic
of the Generals pains-taking to make
hismen all comfortable: ar eQt i9nm

country extremely rugged and stony,
and saw not only men but officers

They replied, in a gruff way, that they

barefooted. They replied that they

: Not one person in fifty who has
reached the age of forty years Is free
from corns.anSome persons lives are
rendered utterly miserable by them.A
They are produced by friction or pres
sure If men went barefoot they
might not have corns; but if. they were
TO stand on rock or floor, they would
have corns ON the bottoms of their feet
in abundance. This is on the same
principle that callouscd punches form
ON the hooks of oxen and other animals
at the points where they touch the floor
while they lie down. Commonly corns
are produced by tight shoes, not neces1
sarily hard oneg cloth shoes, if tight
enough to press the toes against one
another, will make corns between them.
But corns are frequently made on the
outside of the foot and little toe, by
boots that are amply large; but the in
dividual inclines 70 tread his boots over,
and on sidewalks especially the outside
of the heel becomes worn off, and this
has a tendency to throw the weight of
of the person against the outer side of
the boot, which chafes the foot and pro-
duces inflammation and corns. To obvi-
ate this difficulty, persons who tread
their boots over should have the heels
built, not as they commonly are, pared
under on each side, nor even straight,
but built out at the bottom on the out
side so that they shall stand bracing in
ward, and the outer part of the heel
should be filed with hardened steel
nails, while the inner part of the heel
should be simply pegged. If this
method does not carry the foot square,
the heel of the boot should bereIaired,
if need be, two or three times oftener
than the sole wears ont Persons gen
eraly think that the heel need not be
aepaired oftener than the boots need
half-soling; but this is amistake. Some
men tread on tho inside of their foot
and run their boots over inwardly.-
Such persons will have corns on the
balls and great toe but none oniltho
outer side. ,,.cf o,f, w ,ea,I IA.
We think, that the sole OF the boot OF
shoe should be quite as wide as the
bottom oftbe foot when the weight is
bornes,pon it with thee shoe off. 70 The
custom is "a to make slim, nHrow-soled

ing ladies' shoes. For The sake of 'hav-
ing what is calleda .sgenteel foot,' hun
drcbsyof men andgwomen are made
semi-cripDles. and compelled to hobble
instead Of walking with gracefulness
and ease during the last part of their
lives, as a peralty for hating gratiiied
a silly ambition for a small foot when
young. Shoes should always be made
sufficiently roony not to cripple the
wearer, and the heels kept square at the
bottom, so that the foot shall not be
rolled over on its side in the shoe, =.

Fashionable Vices in New York.

7 u T H L.
The New York correspondent of the
Providence Journal writes:
In tbs midst of this patriotic over
flow of heart and pocket for the Sani-
tary Fair, there is alsoSaf seetlling cur
rent of extravagant folly setting madly,
it would seem, toward ruin. Too much
cannot be said or written of this insane
mania among us. Where it will end
Heaven only knows. During the sea-
son of private concerts and tableaux
vivants, given for. the benefit of the
Fair, one of our fashionable ladies'
formerly famous Boston Belle-threw
open her house on Madison Square for
a masquerade party, not in aid of the
Sanitary Fair, but in sheer love of sem
sation and reckless expenditure. No
end to money was lavished. The cos
tunes were unique, dazzling, gorgeous.
Some Of them, it is said, were diagrace-
fully wanting in modest grace and wo-
manly fitness; but when one is masked,
he can be oblivious to such effects, ]
suppose. t.s ~ t..f ID ~ 4fsd Ilrs

to her hoop skirt, was a small gasome.

between the elaborate braids to her back
hair, secured the brilliant triumphs, at
the risk Of the wearer's life! If you
are troubled to believe this story,I can
only say, "'Tis pity tits true" What
