PROPOSED NEW SrArE.-The Legisla.
ture of Wisconsin are deliberating upon a
memorial to Congress for a Territory COM
prislng that portion of Wisconsin lying
north of the forty-ffth degree of north lati-
tude, and that, portion Of Michigan living
west of Lake Michigan. This territory, It
is alleged is very much isolated from the
States to which it is attached, and has sep
arate and individual interests peculiarly its
own, which under the present organization,
do not receive the fostering care of its sew
eral Governments, which the best interests
of the country require: The separation 6f
that territory, il is thought would result IN
no disadvantage to the States from which
it is proposed to detach it, which would hot
be more than compensated by the augment
ed commercial and political advantages of
adding another State to the Northwest.

The Battle FIELD IL New ORLEANS
The surface of the country in the vicinity
of Jacksoil's lines, on the 9Th of January,
1915, has undergone less change, says the
Delta, than the scene of any battle field in
the United States. 1t is true, there is great
tpohotory III the features of the whole mar
row strip of land on the left bank of the
Mississippi, below the city. The fields are
all laid off in the same direction-the ditch
es run the same way-the lands are cult.
waited to the same distance towards the
swamp-the houses are built and the gar.
dens orn amented in the same style. But
little change has passed over this country
since 1915. It produced as much then as
it does now; sugar was the chief product
then, as It Is now. The bulwark, thrown
up by the British on the 28th of January,
1874, was made chiefly with sugar barrels,
full Of, sugar, which were taken from the
sugar-hoGse of Mr.. Chalmette. and others
planters. The place where the battle .wss
fought can be easily designated, The old
chateau, in which Jackson had his quarters,
still remains. The ditch, a paliry affair;
which any good jumper could leap over III
1915, may be clearly traced. fhe spot
where Packenham fell, can be pointed out:
Near it is pecan tree, under which, II is
said, he breathed his last-wh6se fruit if is
an old Creole superstition, has been red
ever since. There, too, are the ghafled old
live oaks in the centre of the field, still
Scared and marked with the prints Of can
non balls and shells. And there, too, in
the neighborhood, you may find many an
old negro, who can amuss you by the hour,
with his "reminiscences Of the battle, and at
the close of his story drive profitable uade
with you, in sundry rusty musket balls
peradventure, in some of La6tte's alias Do

TOO POOR TO PAY.

From the New York Tribune.
TOO POOR TO PAY.
We we're so poor when baby died,
Ana mothe, stitched his shroud,
The others in their hunger CRED,
With SORROW wild and loud;
We were so poor we could not pay
The man 10 carry him away.
see Il still before my eyes;-
j, lies upon the bed,
And mother whispers through her slghs,--
''The little boy is dead"
A little box Of common pine
His coffin was-and may be mine!
They laid our little brother out,
And wrapped bis form in white,
And as tLey turned his head about,
We saw he solemn sight,
And wept as lille children weep,
And kissed the dead one in his sleep!
We looked our last upon his face.
And said cur last good bye,"
While mother laid him in the place
Where those are laid who die:
The sexton showed the box away.
Because we were too poor TO pay!
We were too poor 10 hire hearse,
And couldn't get pail;
Ard when we drove him TO the grave
A wagon held US all:
'Tw1s who drove the horse, and
Who told my mother not TO cry.
We rode along the crowded town,
And felt so lone and drear,
And oft our tears came trlckling down,
Because no friends were neat,
The folks were strangers, selfish men,
Who hadn't lost a baby then!
We reached the grave. and laid him there,
With all the doad around:
There was no priest TO say prayer
And bless the holy ground.
So home we went in grief and pain,
But home was never hcme again!
And there he sleeps, withou, stone
To mark the sacred spot:
But though, to all the world unknown,
BY US tits ue'cr forgot.
We mean to raise stone some day,
But now we are tUo poor 10 pay!
