as faithfully, as though that piper
the fair ones. But now this objection is
removed, The hoops are made II gutta

the least fear Of Recommending either party.
Notwithstanding what has beer said against
This way Of wearing the dress, the fashion

Of the fair sex II is fare thing TO see
lady without them at present, here or In
New Yoik. And we hope that we shall
soon hear that the hoop.ma MA is alarming.
" On The increase In Baton Rouge
business has been remarkably hull here
for some time past. Quite panc has been
going on In the money market Banks and
firms have been breaking and hard times
has been the principal topic Of conversation
We do not know whether II Is our extern
sive acquaintance among the PRIMERS which
makes us think SO. but we must give IL az
our candid conviction that no community
has suffered SO much from no work. az
the typographical Tie bursting Of several
newspaper firms Of this city recently, has
not tended to lighter these evil prospects
First the Saturday Messenger, some time
since then The Firesde Visitor, The satur.
day Courier, Friends 1niellgeneer and we
understand that The Saturday Mail and
American Banner are desd--or might a.
well be. Many Others are dragging through
wfetehed existence. We are ever will.
ing tosseond the efforts Of en.erpfising men
but the injury which the Msssrs Harper
will do to the periodical family press will
be insurportably destructive. Many fam.
lily papers published here and else whefe, |
however, deserve no better fate. In sub. |
scribiug for Harper's Weekly, one knows
that he will get what he bargains for. One
gets paper which he can lay on the par
lor table without a fear Of bis children
seeing anything in ii that would bias them
TO immorslity
The Typhoid and Scarlet Fevers have
been very prevalent here during the past
season; and the mortality caused by the
latter has been extensive.
The warmth Of the election passed off
with that of the weather, and everybody
has made up his mind TO put up with Mr..
Buchanan. Mr.. Cass seems to think him
self too old for the arduous duties Of Secrs-
tsry Of State. Let US hope that Mr.. Cass
will be kept out Of IL, for with him a war
with England would be inevitable, provi-
ied that country did not have her hands
full with other i,ations.
We would announce to all Of the Comet
readers that we wish them the happiest
" Christmassss and ask them to excuse
heir humble correspondent until New
Year, In order that he may have his share
If the good things. And for You. dear
Comet, We would express the hope that
he friends OF literature, morality aud the
American cause will give you their patron
'ge and support--snd we may add the let.
or list. Yours, &C., OBSERVER.
