LITTLE BAREFOOT.

MAGGIE MITCHELL is performing, with
muck applause, in Brooklyn. The Her
aid says Little Barefoot" as rendered
the piquant little Western star, Miss
MAGGIE MITCHELL, is a very moral, and,
at the same time, tolerably interesting
domestic drama. To Judge from the APP
plause received by Miss MITCHELL, and
the fact that she received two calls be-
fore the curtain, it would seem that the
rather critical audience were well pleased
with her share in the performance.

EUROPEAN WAR.

On the first page of this paper will be
found letter from Florence to the New
York Tribune. We ask those of our
readers who feel an interest in the sub
ject, to read this clear and startling state
ment of the condition of Europe at this
time. The imminence of war that will
hardly fail to involve the entire continent
is not, or should not be, without its effect
in this country. If the course of our
Congress means one thing more than an
other, II is that we are not at peace our
selves. That body does not appear to be
in the slightest degree affected by the
complexion of matters on the other side
of the Atlantic. Its thoughts, So far as
the country can perceive, are fixed ex-
clusively upon the South But we are
not now disposed TO discuss the bearings
of European war upon political status
So great war as that now threatened,
would affect the finance, the commerce
and the prosperity Of the world. While
this is admitted, let us see how near
complications have approached hostiii-
ties. The Philadelphia Ledger in a
lucid review of the situation, observes
that affairs in Germany continue-and
it is stated that Prussia has declined to
have any further negotiations with Aus
tria on the matters in dispute. France
begins to show her hand, and has pro-
tested against the Austrian ornaments
on the Italian frontier, to which Austria
has replied that they were intended for
defence only. In Italy the war fever
against Austria still RACES, and the indi-
cations are that when war begins It will
be between Austria and Italy. The in
dications also are that France is gradu-
ally taking the side of Prussia in the war
which all think is approaching. 1t is
not to be supposed, however, that the
French Emperor is backed in his course
in fomenting war by the unanimous
wishes ofihe French people. In recent
debate in the French Chambers, NJ. EMILE
OLIVIER announced that he wished on
a subsequent day to ask some questions,
with view to ascertain, if possible,
what course the Government proposed
topursue in the present state Of affairs
but NJ RoUHER, the Minister of State, re
piled that he did not know whether it
would be possible in the present state Of
negotiations for the Government to per
nit such a debate. 1t seems that the
French Emperor has reconstructed the
map of Italy and has appropriated two
Italian States as his share, in spite of the
treaty made after the late war between
France and Austria But when reforms
Of the German Confederation are pro-
posed, he gives the German States notice
that the treaty of the European Congress
of 1915 is still in force, and that the
assent of a similar Congress will be
necessary TO the reform. The meaning
of all which is, that no change is TO be
made, either in boundaries or govern
ment in any part of Europe, unless the
French Emperor has his hand in and
gets share of territory.

DEATH OF REV. THEODORE cLAPP.

This able theologan and eminent d.
vine, says the Louisville Courier, of
Saturday, died on Thursday morning at
his residence in this city Worn out
physically, his mental faculties became
impaired as be approached final DISCO
linton. He was native Of Massaehu-
sets, and had received fine classical
education, which, added TO the faculties
of mind vigorous and analytical, ena-
bled him to rank among the first pulpit
orators of his day His long career Of
usefulness and honor began in New Or
leans, where thousands have heard his
profound discourses, and sat spell-bound
under the influence of his matchless elo-
quence. he was no less distinguished
for esrnestness and ability as a divine
than for his benevolence and devotion as
& man. His services during the pre-
vslence of a fatal pestilence in New Or
leans win never be forgotten by the
thousands who received his untiring en-
ergies in their behalf His whole life
had been enc Of usefulness. Mr. c. was
seveniy-three years of age when he died,
universally esteemed and lamented.

Special to the st. Louis Democrat.
NASHVILLE, May 2l.-The Senate has
been engaged all day on private bill of
little importance.
The House has Rad a number of bills
under consideration, and several impor-
tant amendments to the clause relating
to the tax of per cent on invoices OF
goods into the State, passed as they came
to the House The same tax on broker 5
license of Sl25 passed. The one per
cent on the capital of regular banks was
amended by an additional tax of 800 to
the school fund. Insurance companies
to pay license of $500, and three per
cent on all premiums of $50 license, and
two per cent on prices established by
the Senate.
These, with other amendments of local
importance, will probably create much
opposition when returned to the Senate
for concurrence, and will doubtless be
debated No other business of import
ance was transacted, and it will be hardly
possible to get quorum together longer
than this week
The appointments for Police Commits
sioners for Memphis viii be sent to the
Senate tomorrow. 1t is understood that
s, B. Beaumont, A. p Burdett and Chan
ming Richards have received the appoint
ments from Governor Brownlow.
