THE BooT AND Shoe TRApE.-This trade,
as well as the dry goods, hardware, hat, and
other trades, has been extraordinarily active
permitted to make the following extract from
letter of house in Boston to house in
this city, both largely engaged in the boot
and shoe trade. 1t will be seen that con-
siderable advance has been establish lately.
This is worthy the consideration of buyers.
Our Jobbers made their purchases before this
advance, and hence are enable to sell cheap
ser than they can be bought at present at Bos-
toni Lou. Jour.
BosIoS, March 9.
Regarding the state Of the boot and shoe
market we have to say that since you made
your purchases prices have advanced from
five to ten per cent. on nearly all the heavier
style, kip boots excepted, and for some kinds
even higher prices have been obtained. Du-
ring The present month large business has
been done, both by manufacturers aud job
bers. Present prices pay little or no profit,
and the result is that all manu- acturers are
reducing their work-some have stopped al
together. The stock of kip boots is large
and they are selling at prices less than cost
but there seems to be no surplus of any other
kinds. Leather cannot decline much for
seine months to come. We have no doubl
that prices will range still much higher
Stocks will thus become reduced, and
they will not be replenisheJ unless the ar.
tlcles can be made to pay profit. There
has been no time since you made your pur.
cIases We could have replaced them at the
same COST

Pierce, Douglas Y Co.

The following notices of the above gentle
men, taken from our exchanges in different
parts of the country, show how the author
and hackers of the Nebraska fraud are grow
ing into the affections of the people
To be forced into extr emes by the least va
riations in popular sentiment : to have no
wcll-defined and well-settled principles Of po-
litcal action to lack the power Of adhering
to Il given course without regard TO personal
consequences to be incompetent to take
broad grounds of natl onal or official policy
to overrate his own abilities and the preroga-
tives of his Office, and to underrate the indie
pendence and sound Judgment of the people.
seem TO be natural defects in the President $
public character, which promise. an unsettled,
unsatisfactory administration of public af-
fairs. and an inglorious conclusion to his
Presidency Y. Commercial Advertiser
Among all the harlequins in the Presiden-
tal arena, Douglas exces No characteris-
tie but impudcnce recommends this map
BUT his impudence is sublime No speech,
no effort, no stroke of policy marks this man
AS anything above mediocrity. lie is every
way an adyenturer. He pretends to be cit
izen of Chicago, Illinois, yet he is rarely seen
there. He has no domicil there. lie has a
tenement ON the Lake shore, where he keeps
tenant. His plantation and his negroes are
IN Mississippi. His overseer gave barbecue
| to his negroes which was trumpeted over the
country while ago We helped to blow
that trumpet, and gave him the benefit OF
our columns to bring him tho fame Of which
he is SO coyetous, If any of his friends want
us to give him lift TO the Presidency, we
will publish the barbecue story again, free,
gratis, fol nothing. Judging from some de-
monstrations we should judge his home ant
heart were where his plantation and his
'nggers are.-Toledo Blade.
There was, perhaps there is now, a thelog
ical school holding to the doctrine that n(
man could be saved till he had brought hi
mind to n willingness to be eternally damneC
for the glory of God. So it is with a certain
school Of politics, which hold that no maj
can he tit for office until he is willing to be 1
nigger and work on plantation ii it vii
further the interests of slavery. Mr., Seward
never brought himself to that condition Their
are some others who have not, and the numbe
is not likely to be diminished by the cours
which the Nebraska iniquity is taking. -

MISCELl. ANY.
ONE LITTLE FAVOR.
A TRUE STORY

Little Pierre sat humming by the bedside
of his sick mother. There was no bread in
the closet, and for the whole day he had not
tasted food. Yet he sat humming to keep
up his spirits. Still at times he thought of
his loneliness and hunger, and he could
scarcely keep the tears from his eyes, for he
knew nothing would be grateful to his
poor mother good orange, and yet he had
not single penny in the world
The little song he was singing was his own
--one he composed with the air and words ;
for the child was genius, icrvent wor-
shipper at the shrine OF music.
As the tears rolled down his cheeks, and
his voice would faltcr at his sad, sad thoughts,
he did not dare to let his mother see, but
hastily rising, hurried to the window, and
there watched Il man putting up II great bill
with red and blue letters, announcing that
Madame Malibran, then a iavorite cantatrice,
would sing that nj ght ut the Temple.
"Oh if could only co. thought little
Pierre and then pausing moment, he
clasped his hands, his eyes lighted with an
unwonted fire, and running to u little stand
tie smoothed down his golden curls, and taking
from box some old stained paper, gave one
eager glance ut his mother, who slert, and
ran speedily from the house.
"Who did you say was waiting for me ~
