CoRN.CoB AND CHICKEN BoSE ETIouETTE
The great question, or one of them, now
agltatlnS fashionable society at the waters
ing places Is, us 1t proper to eat green corn
from the cob and take chicken. bones in the
fingers ?" Ladies' who are accustomed to
answer this question in the natural and
common sense way at home often seem to
suppose that company manners" require
them to convey all food to the mouth by
the aid Of knife aud fork when away, and
deny themselves the luxury of taking things
in their fingers, greatly to their discomfort,
if not positive injury for every one knows
that there is juiciness, a sweetness, q sue
cuence, satisfaction about corn gnawed
from the ear and chicken sucked from the
bone not obtainable any other way. Some
hotel proprietors solve the question very
satisfactorily Ito tbemselves) by not provi-
ding any green corn or chickens excusing
themselves on the ground that they are mot
able to get enough to go around" But
this is shameful way Of getting around
social problem, instead of solving it, and we,
consequently, confne our remarks to the
guests of those hotels which do provide
chicken and also corn. We are very glad
to be able to say there is very high authority
for the finger process that the ladies love so
well, and which, we are sure, cannot be un-
pleasant to the corn and chickens. This
authority is no less than Brillat Savarin, II
gentleman, courtier and philosopher, who,
in lectures to his cook, writes as follows:
Remember, my dear professor, | am to
have ladies to dinner to-day. You have not
forgotten, hope, my former instructions to
you on the subject of dishes. AL
ways have a variety of little side dishes,
chops small birds, wings of fowls. things
with bones in the them things they can
take in their fingers. 10 short, pickings;
for observe that ladies apply themselves
with delight 70 things they can pick.-And
| observe, too, that they never look so
charming as when extracting the delicate
juices of bones which yield themselves only
to the caressing of lips; except, perhaps,
when they are wiping their lips and fingers
on their napkir, which they will do tro.
| quently."
If green corn had been French instead
of Yankee dish, Savarin would undoubt-
! edly have included it in his list of dishes
and with this high authority no lady need
be afraid to follow the dictates Of common
sense and her own taste, and handle corn
cob and chicken bone at her own sweet will,
especially when we add that our opinion

ADVICE TO AMERICAN WoMEN.-Dr. Hall,
speaking of the fral health and early fading
Of American women, especially in cities and
large towns. says they live too luxuriously,
and their habits of eatiu ne and sleeping are
too artificial and irregular. Our young wo-
men are often trained in female boarding
schools, which, with rare exceptions, are
academies of mental, moral and physical
deprivations while novel reading in secret
and smattering of everything in public
with thorough practical knowledge Of moth
ing, is the order of the day. From the time
they leave school to marriage, nothing is
done to establish the constitutional to make
firm the health-no instructions given as to
how that may he preserved; no active teach
ing as to household duties, no irvigorating
morning walks, no wholesome, elegant, and
graceful exercise on horseback. The days
are spent in eating, in easy lounging, in
ceremonial viStings, in luxurious dreamngs
over sentimental tctions their nights in
heated rooms or crowded assemblies of hot
andspoisoned, if not putrid, air. No won.
der that. with educations like these, the
girls of our cities and large towns fade away
into the grave long before they reach the
maturity OF womanhood.

THE Two GENERALS THOMAS. s.-The
reader must not confound the Gen.
Thomas appointed to the War De-
partment in the place of Stanton,
with Gen. Thomas of Chattanooga
and Nashville. The former, Lorenzo
Thomas, now quite an old man, was
formerly Adjutant-General of the
army. and latterly, we believe, the
general superintendent or inspector
of the national cemeteries, and still
later restored to the post of Adju-
tant- General in the War Office. The
latter, Gen. George H. Thomas, now
in command of the Department of
the Cumberland, (Kentucky and Ten
nessee,) is in the prime of life.

A CHOICE LIBRARY OF Music. The
United States Musical Reuie,o, pub
lished by j. l.. Peters, 200 Broad
way, New York, is before us, and
merits the attention of all lovers of
music. 1t is a mammoth monthly
magazine, sheet-music size, con tain
ing over seventeen pages of musical
news, reviews and art items, every
line of which is readable and really
almost invaluable to all musicians.
The publishers, however, do not stop
here, for, in addition to the above,
each number contains four pieces of
choice new music by the best writers
in America--thus giving a select
library of new music at such a low
rate that even the poorest may in
dulge in what has hitherto. been con-
sidered luxury. The music in the
ReoieW is most excellent, as the fol-
lowing select list will testify, all of
which has appeared within its pages
during the last six months; "Nora
O'Neal, you've been Friend to
Me-" and "Kiss Me Goodbye,
Darling" all by Will. 8. Hays;
"Good-bye. but Come Again." and
"Do You Think the Moon could have
Seen Us?" by J. r. Thomas; "Ally
Ray" and Little Brown Church, "
by William 8. Pitts; "Maribell," by
Danks; "Let the Dead and the Beau
tiful Rest, Break, Break, o Sea, -
etc. Also, Kinkel's Heavenly
Thoughts" and "Maiden's Blush
Schottishe," Mack's ..'Damask Rose"
and "White Rose March," and seve-
raj other choice pieces, amounting in
ell to 80 at retail prices. The Unite1
States Musical Reuie,O is published at
81 per year; single copies, 2Oc. No
musical family should be without it.

day last: y
Mr.. Stanto On said ia Cen. Thomas,
What our business ID this Officer
-; { = rgpIIed That he was
sthereSby virtue of his. Office as Secre-
,tary OF War adj igtsrizn.. ~. ..,,.,-.-.
Mr.. Stanton then ordered him to
his office, as Adjuta1t-G General. Gen.
Thomas refused; said he was Secre-
tary of War, by virtue of the order
from the President ~
Mr.. Stanton inquired who had ap-
pointed him Secretary of War. The
General replied, "The President of
the United States" Mr.. Stanton
rejoined, "I do not recognize any
such authority, and will not obey
any orders from him."
Mr.. Stanton then repeated the
order several times, and to ell the
orders Gen. Thomas paid no heed.
Mr.. Stanton then issued an order
to all the employees of the War De
partment not to obey Gen. Thomas
as Secretary of War, and Gen.
Thomas countermanded the order.
Gen. Thomas then said he would
continue to act as Secretary of War,
and would not recognize Mr.. Stanton.
The latter reiterated that he would
do the same.
The War Office was occupied Fri
day night by Mr.. Stanton, who had
| his supper sent to him and all the
offices locked and the keys brought
him. His son remained with him,
and he was visited at intervals by
large numbers of members of Con-
gress. Having passed the night in
possession, the Department was kept
closed Saturday morning in pursu-
ance Of the order issued on Friday.
Gems. Pelouze and Vincent were in
attendance, but sentry stationed at
the door excluded all corners, even
those clerks who had been SO unfortu.
nate as to leave their over-coats in
their room, and no one was admitted
without first sending in his card.
Mr.. Stanton's breakfast was sent
him, and during the course of the
morning number of gentlemen
called and had interviews with him.
Mr.. Stanton had q protracted in
terview with Mr.. Carpenter, of Iowa
who acts as his legal adviser, and
who is recognized as one of the
ablest members of the profession in
the Mississippi valley. This is the
gentleman who has been associated
with Senator Trumbull in the re-
construction cases. During the night
letters we're sent to him from The
Capitol, urging him to maintain hi
position.
The excitement in Washington i,
intense, and the War Department il
surrounded by guard.

We extract the following sninmary of
ttAsS proceedings 0f the thirty third
day from the Charleston Nssss: !
|. The following ordinance was re-
ported by B. F. Randolph, from the
Committee. on Miaaallnnenns Prov
sioiis of' the Constitution, and made
a.speeial fort5aturday: .a,,a,yay::
Be IL lordaiaaed, &c., That equity
and Justice demand for the children
Of this State, in all cases where real
estate was transferred, either at pub
ic sale or otherwise, for. Conf federate
securities or currency during the war,
said transfer, no matter by whom
made. shall be absolutely null and
void, wherever based upon such Be-
curity; and the original owners and
guardians may enter upon and take
possession of such real estate in be-
half of said minor children, unless
the same is paid for in the currency
of the United States.
A. @. Richmond presented q peti-
tion praying the Convention to arrest
Cho OASouelOA VI 1uS SoutcuCo VI
death upon Benjamin Hogan, a
colored mans convicted of arson at
the last Court of General Sessions in
Charleston. The petition was refer
red to the Committee on Petitions.
B. F. Randolph presented the Pc
tition of Thomas Owings, convicted
of felony in Laurens District, asking
the Convention to recommend the
removal of his political disabilities.
Referred to the Committee on Peti-
tions.
E. w. NJ. Mackey offered resolu-
tion, which was adopted, to appoint
q special committee of nine to draft
an ordinance prescribing the mode
and providing for the election of
State officers.
The Convention then proceeded to
discuss the first and second clauses
of the executive article of the Con-
stitution. A long and animated de-
bate TODD place on the proposition to
strike ont the provision requiring
four years residence as q qualifica-
ton for the Governor, and to insert
two years, the object, as It was
averred, being to afford an opportu-
nifty TO any Northern man who might
be nominated to run for the Office.
The purpose Of putting United
States officer in nomination was
strongly limited at in the course of
the debate, and there is no doubt
that some political combinations are
on foot to bring out additional can
didates. s1e s.f
The Convention adjourned without
disposing of all the amendments to
the Section offered, so that the consi-
deration of the subject will be re-
sumed this morning.
