CARE OF THE FEET.-Persons living
in the country are generally too
careless about their feet. and bodily
health aud comfort are iniuriouslv
affected by the neglect. On this
subject the Scientific American saws
the people who are careless about
their feet do not consider that the
largest pores in the body are situated
in the bottom of tho feet, and the
most offensive matter is discharged
through these pores. When stock
ings are worn, without change, from
the beginning to the end of the week,
they become completely saturated
with the offensive matter. Ill-health
is generated by such treatment of
the feet. The pores are not repel-
lants but absorbents, aud the fetid
matter, to a greater or less extent, is
taken back into the system. The
feet should be washed every day
with pure water, and also the arm
pits, from which an offensive odor is
also emitted, unless daily ablution is
practiced. Stockings should not be
worn more than o day or two at q
time. They may be worn one day
and then dried and summed, and worn
another day, If necessary.

SAVING THE CHILDREN "A mother
approaching the need of personal in
struction to guard children against
the vice that will certainly assail
them, wisely counsels parents-and
mothers particularly-as below;
You must be o companion TO your
children, both sons and daugsters-
Talk with them about evils 70 which
they are exposed, and impress upon
them with all the power of which
you arc capable the fearful consequent
ces of violation OF the seventh COM
mandment, making it reach, as the
Savior does, to the Utmost thoughts
Of the heart, and by right associations
and pure literature, aid them in
keeping the thought pure. Then, too,
the mother may essentially aid her
children in this regard by proper at
tention to their physiological habits.
See that they have wholesome, un--
stimulating diet, with a liberal
amount of exercise, and regularity in
All their habits. With proper use
of all these means, and an earnest
seeking Of the SPIRITS guidance, we
may reasonably hope to save our
children.
Bat for the benefit OF gang moth
ers / must make another suggestion.
You know how very early there is
developed in most children, certain
kind Of curiosity-a disposition to
question you upon subjects which
you always feel inclined TO evade,
and often Do evade even TO classifying
the truth. oh, what a fatal mis-
take
Just there, mother, is the begin
Of your opportunity, for it is much
harder to begin with grown up chill
dren. Ifyou cannot at once answer
your child truthfully and properly,
you can say to him, "My deer, ma
ma cannot tell you now, you are
not old enough to understand, by and
by mama will tell you about it,
promise; pray over it and watch
your time. A delicate mind will find
3 delicate and proper way Of doing
81 these things, and as your children
mature, you will be surprised to find
Whist bond OF union is thus created
between yourself and them in0tead
Of seeking the desired information
from tho impure and vulgar, thoy
will como TO you at all times. You,
mother, will become tho confident of
your children OF both sexes. Into
your esr thoy viii whisper their loves
and Joys; or upon your bosom pour
out their dsappointments and sor-
rows and, oh, the power you have
gained for good, no tongue can tell.
And while the careless, or the timid
and unfaithful mother will gr0an
in sleepIess agony over her lost or

Mn. EDITOR: In the issue Of
your very valuable paper Of the
10Th inst. an article appeared
which to my mind, If properly
acted upon, was calculated TO sub.
serve q most important interest to
our city as well as prove a source
Of handsome remuneration to
those who might enlist in it. /
refer, Of course, to your sugges-
ton respecting the formation ola
stock company for the purpose of
obtaining or erecting an hotel upon
q Metropolitan plan. tits obvious
that Vicksburg just at this time,
when she has everything to gain
by a little enterprise and much to
loose from the want oft, is sadly
in need of q fine hotel, such as
would not only supply every COM
fort to the travelling public but
would also possess features Of at
traction from its external and in
ternal arrangements. Upon this
point we opine that no issue will
be joined by any one, but how is
the company to be formed and
what hopes of success may 1t
reasonably entertain in the event
of its formation are questions
which may naturally suggest them
selves to the live enterprising men
of our city, who, with a very few
honorable exceptions, comprise
our mercantile element. The
merchants are probably the
best men in the city to
form such q company, not
only on account of their superior
energies and enterprise, but be-
cause of their numbers and infu-
ence. There are at least $50 mer-
chants in Vicksburg who would
take three shares of sl25, payable
in one, two and three years, which
by o little calculation will be read
lily seen, would aggregate in the
handsome sum Of S56,250, an6
this amount would secure q suit
able building and furnish it. The
dividends would be large, and By
the third year ought to pay np tbs
last share of each subscriber Ar
Hotel properly conaActed, ough
to pay q profit OGat least S15,0O'
per annum, which it is though
would be the result II the aid ant
influence of our commercial mel
were given to the scheme. You
unfaltering devotion to the dC
. velopment of Vicksburg's best ir
terests, should be rewarded by tn
donation of at least three share
in the company If 1t is ever estab
lished for the many important an,
remunerative schemes you hav
= suggested to our people. l Ibeliev
, you have been overlooked, and i
general principles we think it ma
be safely said that Capt. Spears an

TIE decision we speak Of else
where whereby Judge Burwell re-
fuses appeal from his judgments
when rendered, for q violation Of
the city ordinances, Is perhaps
equalled by a similar decision to
the following effect:
That where a party is arrested
upon a written statement, purport-
ing upon its face not to have been
sworn to, and is tried and convicted
under the same without having OBJ
jected to the want of such oath to
the truth of the statement, he can
not urge it upon a motion for q
new trial or if he does, the plain.
tiff may then show oral proof that
1t was sworn to though not signed
by the officer taking said oath. This
is a queer decision II seems to us.
In the first place, no officer had
any authority to issue a warrant
for the arrest of the individual
charged in such unswOrn to state
ment, even II the facts should SUB
sequenty show that 1t had actually
been sworn to orally, though not
in writing and upon the document
As we conceive, it is not the
mere oral statement Of facts, even
when sworn to, upon which a par
ty Is arrested q aOritteR statement
Of the facts, and sworn to in writ
ing, signed by the proper judicia
, officer, is the only document which
can legally bring such offender

If not legally brought into th'
Q Court, the whole proceeding, db
! tAttto al tHJlnttuaa, Is null and void
and q party convicted under sue

JUDGE BURwELL, of the City
Court, decided yesterday that no
appeal could be taken from his
Court to the Board of Aldermen
or to any higher Court (as we un-
derstood it) when the judgment was
rendered under a provision of the
City Ordinances, and not under the
statutes of the State.
This decision may be strictly in
accordance with The law, but it
makes the Court Of Judge Burwell
the most arbitrary tribunal Of law
In this country.
The Charter confers on him the
same criminal jurisdiction of a JUS
tice of the Peace, also iurisdic-
ton under the City Ordinances.
This latter jurisdiction is that
from which, when judgment is rem
dcrcd, there can be no appeal, ac-
cording to the decision Of Judge
Burwell. Mr.. Burwell is a pro-
found lawyer and thinker, and has
achieved a high reputation at the
bar; but with all that we are forced
to differ from him OH this point,
not so much in q strictly legal view
as in a reasonable view of the sub
ject, and yet the conclusion we ar
rive at we think legal one.
The City Judge is the legal sue.
cessor, under the new Charter, Of
the Mayor, as the city's official ad.
ministrator of the laws and The Or
dinanceS, with some additions oil
exceptions of power, of which lat
ter, the authority to grant appeals il
not one.
There is no question but tina
, an appeal could be taken from I
judgment of the Mayor when rem
dered under a city ordinance, eithe
\ to the Council or to higher court
r why should Mr.. Burwell, standing
D in the place of Mayor, as regard
. his jurisdiction of crimes and mis-
demeanors, refuse to accord tn
b rights that his legal predecessor wa
0 bound to grant2
1t seems to us that as havin
, succeeded to the Mayors law
power, 1t Is incumbent upon him I
: allow such appeals, unless he ca
. show something in tho New Char
ter which expressly takes from hi'
D. that power which the Mayor had.
d. IfJudge Burwell is right in hI
E' opinion then some course should b
