For the last time | seat myself to write you
from this camp
We dre blessed with most delightful wealth
er. a pleasant thing for the agriculturist as
it enables him 10 SOW his seed in good season
Tonight we had a pleasant incident at the
Post Hospital. The sick and employees un-
der those efficient, popular and genJlemanly
Surgeons. Longwell and Carothers, presented
the former with a military hat and trimmings,
also fur tippet; the latter with esame and
in addition pair of buckskin gloves. The
presentation speech was made by j. W Steele,
a private soldier of Company K, of the 8Sth.
He IS one of the rising men Of the West, and
performed his part in a capital manner. DR..
Carothers responded in a short, but beautiful
speech, which was well received. After this
came magnificent Oyster Supper. graced wi tn
the presence of several smiling ladies of both
siates-married and single. The whole was
concluded with some delightful singing. and
playing on the melodeon by the Misses Susie
and Myra Allen, daughters o! Captain Allen.
Co. [ of this regiment A Temperance So
ciety has been organized here and is well al
tended.
Not long since two of the confined chivalry

''GOT.''

The word got is often used superfuously
and incorrectly in familiar expressions. When,
in reply to "Lend me a shilling" you say,
"Tve got no money, you simply say what you
mean. Omit the got, and your meaning is
rightly conveyed. 1--WE got bad cold" is
not bad English, if you mean to convey the
idea that you have procured or contracted a
cold somewhere; but if you merely wish to
say as you probably do, that you are suffering
under a cold, al have cold is the proper ex-
preston. "She has got a fair compile xien. "
Here got is an interloper, for you do not mean
to say she has procured fair complexion, but
simply that she has one. "Ive got to go c
town tomorrow" Here got is redundant and
incorrect Il have to CO." expresses the idea

''0NGE A CLERK, ALWAYS A CLERK ]"

Ben. F. Taylor, the Washington cores
pondent of the Chicago Journal, writes as
follows
Perhaps have told before that there ought
to be a Washington proverb, "once clerk,
always clerk" and here is an illustration
A young man Of ambition aud talent finished
his studies as physician, one day, and with a
diploma and an oyster knife IL bis pocket

about him for a place to begin But then, be
wanted few silver steel knives and hooks and
crooks, possibly little scammony aud gam
boge, and a cerkship seemed 10 offer the
surest means of equipment. So be obtained
a position in one Of the Departments Of the
city.
The young Doctor was seen 10 enter mar
BILE hall, and he has never come forth never
made his country rounds at a Canterbury gal
lop; never felt a city patients pulse in gloves;
never decspitated any body aud cried $50
much for Buckingham :" The young man of
the FURNISHED locks entered that ball thirty
nine years ago, and there is middle aged man
there now. who has made siIver-he has
threads of it in his hair-and who is said 10
be the missing member of the tribe of Escu
lapius
A department is a spices of enchanted
land man wears grooves in his soul, and
his thoughts are apt to grow narrow and run in

them he continues the books as be finds them;
he is very much as if the Sexton had him
