FACTS AND FANCIES.


a colored Autograph of ST Paul, from Max Stro-
bells correct and spirited sketch thereof taken
from the opposite bluff. 1t embraces a view of
three miles along the river comprising eonsid
erabiy more than the whole front Of our CITY,
Mr.. Richie deserves commentator for carrying
out this enterprise, and we hope our citizens
will not allow him to fail i'll being well reward
ed.
PHILADELPHIA ART UNIoN.-We have an agent
of this institution among us. Mr.. Joseph Nc
Cloud, young Philadelphia artist, has located
here, and may be found at his rooms in the Rice
House. The Philadelphia Art Union will this
year distribute at least fifty elegant oil paint
ings let the subscription be what it may-the
artists themselves having resolved for the sake
of keeping up the institution to sustain all los
SEES. should there be any. The subscription is
five dollars, which entities the subscriber to a
fine steel engraving, at least worth the money,
aside from his chance of drawing picture
Those subscribing can either take choice be-
tween the engraving of last year or the one to
be furnished for this. Last years engraving
was uOul CclcUutcu ulStOTlCdl
painting of Patrick Henry delivering his fam
Gus speech in the Virginia House of Burgesses
1t is a most superbly executed line engraving
by Alfred Observation-Disclosures by eighteen in
ches. We sincerely hope Mr.. McCloud will sue
coed in procuring large number of subscrib-
ers in st. Paul. We are now getting some hand
some residences in our city. and We want hand
some pictures to decorate the parlors.
| VOTE EARLY.-As there will be heavy vote
polled, and necessarily considerable excitement
aud crowding at the polls, we would suggest to
all pcaccable and orderly disposed persons to
he on hand early and vote.
THE LEGISLATIVE TlcKEr.-B. W. Brunson, J.
X. Humphrey, NJ. S. Wilkinson T. Mccormick,
J. ii. DAY. j. Marshall and Alden Bryant COM
pose the Wing Legislative ticket for the Sec
ond Council District. This is what the Mime
sotan calls "a ticket of brains!' Most of
these gentlemen are persons who, during the
late administration have fattcd upon the public
spois until their voracity has become such, that
they now stoop to beg and plead for Democrat
ic vOtcs.-Dtm0crat.
1t is no wonder to us, that the editor of the
Democrat-who goes about whining and howl
ing among the independent Democrats. and
making the matter of electing his ticket ques
ton of bread and butter with himself-should
become desperate about these days. The editor
knew very well he was stating bare-Eccd
falsehood when he uttered the above. Mr.. Brun-
son, to begin with, never held an Office of profit
in his life. He was twice in the Legislature
and during that time it is conceded on all
hands. that he rendered more substantial serv-
ice to st. Paul, than she can ever repay him for
if he should be kept in the most protitablc Office
all his life. Mr.. Humphrey, it is true, held
merely living Office directly at the hands of the
administration, and he is the only man on the
ticket who has regularly held Office of this char
actcr. Mr.. Wilkinson has an Office at the hands
of the people, no thanks to the 'late admins
tration.' Mr.. Bryant was deputy marshal a few
months, but didn't receive sufficient fees to pay
his house rent mean time. This is all ne has
ever had. The other gentlemen on our ticket.
DR.. Day and Mcssrs. Mccormick and Marshall.
have never held office OF any kind. What then
becomes of the assertion that most of our can
didates are gentlemen who have fattened upon
the public spoils?'
From PEMBINA.-AIr f. A. c. Hatch. Of St
Paul, rcturcd home from Pembina on Saturday
last. He was present at the election in Pemb!-
ma county, which took place the second Tues
day of September. The following are the re-
turns as we find them published in the Demo
crat. They are 10 doubt correct. 1t will be
seen our old friends Kittson and Rolettc are re-
turned TO the Legislative Assembly. Mr.. Nor
rison, the new member Of the House. who takes
} the place Of Mr.. Gingras, we are but slightly
, acquainted with. but he is represented as a gen
. tleman of good abilities and competent cluca
