APiea for Going Barefoot.

The London Review says: .Shall We
go barefoot? or, at least, shall we make
our children do so? The question may
seem a strange one;. but the Comtesse de
Noailles has been gravely recommending
the custom in a letter addressed to the
Ladies' Sanitary Association. She thinks
it far more healthy aud cleanly than the
present plan, and therefore hopes that
her aristocratic fellow sanitarians will set
an ex lmple by allowing their own child
rem to go barefoot in the parks: The
Medical Times and Gazette thinks the
suggestion SO rational that it only re-
1uires to be set going, but proposes a
slight compromise, in the shape of a sole
fastened to the otherwise naked foot by
sandals, after the manner of the antique.
In these days of eccentricity in dress, or
no dress ,,tAere is no knowing what we
may come to. Ladies now walk about
the streets almost bareheaded; they may
possibly be inclined to make a trial in the
other diteation, like the lady who ap-
pcared, s~iew veaEs back, ,sandallcd and
somewhat lightly clothed, at a masked

The Concert.

The Concert.
The Mary Sharp College entertained
the public with q concert on Thursday
night.
Music on the piano by Prof. Gull
forG-singing by abouta dozen young
ladies'.
The piece was a Cantsta, or Christ
mas song, in eight or nine parts, com,
posed by Mrs. A. c. Graves and set to
music by Prof. Guilford.
The Cantata is a beautiful poem
and the musical performance was high
" creditablc to all parties.
The preface, or history ofthe Can
tata, read by Mrs. Graves, was an ell.
oouent tribute to the memory of de.
parted friends who deserve every thing
that was said of them and the reading
by Mrs. Graves was the highest order
of clocution. We have never heard
lady, nor even a gentleman, read as
well as Mrs. Graves does.
We suppose we will give no offence
by saying that the young ladies no
only sang well, but they looked nell.
We have no idea of forgetting tn
inimitablc violinist-Richard was him
self again.
An a%ppreciativc community will no
soon forget this and the many othe'
instructive entertainments for which j
is indebted to the President Of the Ma
ry Sharp and his accomplished lady.

The Cause of the StagnatiOn o.
Business and Dull Times.

'.Dull times; )" "nothing doing;'
"business at a stand still y "indnstry
not remunerativc; :" such are the obser-
vations hourly made everywhere, and
the question is, why SO? The circu,
lating currency is near ono thousand
million Of dollars. three times greater
than before the war, and no obligation
requiring those who furnish it to re-
deem it in coin on presentation. TIE
depressed business condition Of the
country can not, therefore, be laid to
Il want Of money, tor there is a super.
abundance of it somewhere in the
country. The aus of the dull times
is not in the want of money to carry
on with ease and facility the business
of the country, but in the oppressive
burdens all branches of business are
compelled to sustain in the shape OF
taxes. That is the mill stone that is
hanging to the neck Of labor, industry,
trade and commerce.. Profits are nearly
all taken by the tax gatherer, and every
thing consumed is thereby rendered so
high as to compel everybody to do
with as little as possible.
Under such a condition of things
there can be no stimulus to industry,
except up to the point required simply
for self eservation-to keep the mill
from %ceasing work altogether-and to
prevent production from lanouishing
into complete indifference. Prosperity
is out Of the question, when Il large
part of the results of labor are eaten
up by taxes. Encouragement takes
the place of cheerful hopefulness, and
diminished consumption makes trade
dull, times hard, business stagnant.
Economy in public expenditures, the
raising by taxation no more money
than is absolutely required for ar
economical ADMINISTRATION of the gov
eminent, and the payment of the pub
lie interest should be rigidly insisted
on by the people. They should demand
of Congress and of the executive de
partments of the Government a cur
tailment of expenses, aid the abolish
ment of all useless expenditures. There
is no doubt that the expenses of thu
Federal government a be reduced Sc
that not more than one.half the taxes
now raised need be levied. That woul(
be q great relief, and under it bushes:
would again revive, and prosperit,
receive a fresh start. Let it be tried

NApoLEoN's RETREAr.--The UAHa
CaA0lica. of Rome, of Nov. 9th, con-
tains IN article entitled, "The Fall of
the First and Second Empire" from
which the following is an extract !:
s'Since the Steele and the Temps, of
Paris, speak openly of the downfall of
the Popes, we may speak q little of the
second empire. Napoleon the third
has fallen back; he is lost. He has
retreated from Poland from fear of
Russia; he has retreated from Ger
many from fear of the needle gun; he
has rctreated from Mexico from fear of
the United States he has retreated
from Rome from fear of Orsina and
Massini." The clerical journal prints
two columns in the same strain, and
concludes by saying, that it sends the
article in print to the Emperor ut Cam
piegne, to Gen. Fleury, to NJ. de Nal
eret, and to M. de Sartiges, in order
that they may put it in their Archives,
and take it down for perusal when the
proper time shall have come.

POLITICS AND THE MINISTRY
A Methodist Preacher Electcd't0
the United States Senate, ana
Protest AGAINST His ACCEPTANCE.

FNt
The Arkansas Legislature, a few days
since, elected Rev. ANDREW HUNTER, a
Methodist minister, to the United
States Senate. Rev. w. c. JOHNSON,
editor of the Memphis CArishan AduO-
cate, thus refers to the fact and protests
against his acceptance:
The Little Rock Gazens speaks in
high praise Of DR.. Hunter, and deser'
vedly so, as a travelling preacher Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South
who has been well known through his
labors in Arkansas for more than a
quarter of a century; and likewise
says that it was the wish Of the entire
people of the State that he would acc
cept the position to which he has been
elected by the Legislature.
Conceding that DR.. Hunter possesses in
q high degree the intellectual and moral
qualities becoming in u United States
Senator, we do most earnestly hope
that he will respectfully decline this
Office. This is our hope, because al
ready he holds, and should fill a higher
and better Office, the duties of which
are imperitive on him and most impor
tant to be performed, in view of TIN
welfare of the Church and of societ,
in his State. Legislators and Congress
men certainly ought to be Clristial
men, but not Christian ministers. Thes'
ought not to come down from the pul
pit to occupy even the highest station
Of earthly honor and responsibility.
Besides, even if it were allowable
the work of the church at this tim
ought not to suffer loss by the absenc
of one of her chief ministers, when
is notprobable that he would he Above
to take his seat in the Senate, even
his State were recognized by it.
SO we hope, in view Of principle an
policy, that the State Of Arkansas wi
excuse DR.. Hunter. The church car
not spare him for work which could b
we'll performed by some other II {
her worthy citizens.
