1t was regretted on all hands that the War Ea-
gle was too far ahead at the time to participate
in this grand ovation to that portion of the Mis-
sissippi where its rights and supremacy are
fully asserted.
Quite an amusing scene took place at our
landing on board the Sparhawk OH Thursday
evening. Some of the wags from Yankee Land
got up burlcsquc upon the general "doings''
along the route in the way Of official receptions.
The gentleman who officiated as mayor acquit-
ted himself with great credit, and Mr.. Kimball,
formerly of the Boston Museum. in the charac-
ter of the travelling candidate for the Presi-
dency, made some most happy hits in the course
of his remarks. Had reporter of Punch been
present, he could have collected material of the
first merit sufficient to last him month.
Thus endcth the great event of the summer
Of 1854. Its fruits will be many, and will speed
lily begin to develope themselves. 1t is hard to
calculate their extent and Importance.

What makes Q Lady.
NY HAL HARKMAYs

Not empty vaunings Of high-bon race;
Not wealth, however won not tinsel show,
Nor polish, such as boarding schools bestowj
Not drtfuI artlessness, nor studied grace
Nor wit sarcastic, that, to gain Its end,
Would wound the helpless or estrange a friend,
Nor ballroom conquest, such as leave a trace
OF that dead heartedncss TO which they tend.
All these may dazzle, yes, may Charm awhile,
But cannot long a Dorthy heart beguile.
What makes a lady ? A most upright mind;
A heart most loving, disposition kind
And gentle as the west winds softest play;
But 1rm to tread when duty points the way;
An honest love OF truth that will not bend
To Islander rivals. or to praise a friend
dignity ON noble purpose based,
That uingles gladness in the mourncr's cup,
Restraints the proud, but lifts the humble up;
And purity of thought that may be traced,
In every act and word-these make the lady.

The papers ofthat city state that officers Pratt,
Amsden and Mayhem, arrested drunken and
turbulent Irishman belonging to the steamer
Penobscot. While they were moving him to-
wards the watch house party of Irishmen
amounting to some three hundred, collected to
effect a rescue. fight ensued between the Of
hscrs and the rescuers, in which the man was
rescued, and the officers nearly killed by such
weapons as an Irish mob know how to use. The
papers say there is spirit abroad in Bangor
which admits of no timidity Of action.

Looking Back,

Looking Back.
Upon the silver sand
OF life's sad changing strand,
Alone with care stand,
Looking back.
Far back o'er mcm'ry's plain
Where, thick as April rain,
Or sheaves of ripened grain,
Gathered friends.
Like viOlcts in June,
Some withered in their noon,
Some. like broken tune,
Died away.
Some, up the dizzy height,
On golden wings took flight,
And wrapped in pride and might,
Look US down.
Those numbered on life's page,
Whom strife and toll engage,
Are, with time-honOrcd age,
Growing old.
Still, like sweet tendril vines,
OLD FRIENDSHIP intertwineS,
And ever, EVER shines
To the last.

WEST BRANCH.-The rains of the present
week, it is hoped, will be sufficient to bring
down the logs on the West Branch. There arc
estimated to be about 5000, 900 feet still back,
those on the East Branch having all come down
Hitherto, the water on the West Branch has
been highest, and on which the logs have been
first secured, but the contrary has occurred the
present season. 1t is little singular that
there should be such difference in streams SO
near together, the principal logging operations
on the two streams not being more than from
six to twenty miles distant.

business would yield large profit, as it has
been demonstrated that the rock in the imme

any rock above Lake Pepin.

to declare, in five of the seven wards that
Towers, Wing, Qhe candidate of the Know
Nothings,'') has between 400 and 500 majority.
The Board and Council are also Wing. The
election derived peculiar interest from the fact
that the Administration has openly exerted its
influence for Maury, and is understood to have
threatened the clerks with removal if they did
not vote for him and prominent administration
Senators and members threatened that the APP
preparations for the city would be denied if
Maury was not elected.
The result is considered decided rebuke to
the Administ alton. y large procession with
a band of music is now passing through this

Inducements
An intelligent correspondent of the W''i''d"a-
ontie Medium, a Connecticut paper, writing
from St. Anthony under date Of May 10, 1854,
holds out the following inducements to his
friends in the East, to come and locate in the
Sev-England of the West. Good judges will
not consider the description overwrought. He
says:
fthe farmers Of New England could but sec
this country once, they would soon bid adieu
to the rocks and hills Of their old homestead,
and with their wives and children would locate
mon some of the broad prairies of the New
England of the West. One general objection
that is raised against coming to a new country,
is the scarcity and bad quality of the water;
but this cannot be said Of this Territory; for a
better watered country never saw. Springs,
brooks and small lakes are scattered all over
its surface. You can scarcely find single 160
acres but what is we'll watered. Fish Of the
finest quality abound in the lakes and rivers
Another objection to Minnesota in particular, ii
that it is too far north. There you are mistaken
again; for everything that can be raised in the
New England of the East can be raised in the
New England of the West. Wheat does well
producing from 30 to 40 bushels per acre; oat.
from 40 to so, potatoes 200. In fact, vegeta
bles grow almost spontaneously. Fruit of al
kinds will undoubtedly do well. We arc
hardly apt to consider that for every two
degrees we go west, it grows one degree
warmer. Minnesota must become-it canno
be otherwise, possessing all the advantages she
does, Of climate, soil. and location-an import
ant member of the Union. These advantages
are being appreciated, and immigrants by thou
sands are constantly coming in, to people hel
vast domain. One year from now she will
without doubt, be State. The neighing of the
Iron horse will soon be heard calling into use
energies that have lain dormant since the crea-
ton. The telegraph will soon be extended here
and then distance will be annihilated, and we
shall be within speaking distance of each other
The thunders of Niagara will then send their
echoes here, and we can send back the pleas
ant ha ha of our own beautiful waterfalls.
