Nor ENuxERATED!-Mr. Horace Penfisld and
family, OF the Second Ward, have not been snu-
merated in the census of st. Paul, ~ yet.
None OF the regular boarders at the Central
House have been counted BY the Sherif's deputy,
comprising large number of the young business
men Of ST. Paul.
Mr.. Richard Marvin and family; Mr.. Wood
and family, and sundry others in the First Ward
have not been taken.
Come, Mr.. Brown, "stir your stumps" You
know you have requested rs TO point out any
omissions you may have made, and here are few
Of them.-Mi1nesotian s-e>
eV Yes, and we can point ont several more
We do not know Mr.. Brown. nor do we know but
he will perform his duty faithfully, but if he does
not, he may rest assured that both he and his
"boss" shall have the full benefit Of our columns.
All We ask is fairness, and that We determined
to have notwithstanding tho legerdemain qualif-
cations Of the eminent Sheriffof Ramsey County.
P. S.-Mr. Brown has called upon Us, and fully
convinced US that the Minnesotian is mistake.
concerning the names to which the editor al.udcs
as having been omitted. Mr.. Brown has the names
of Mr.. Pen6eld, MIR. Wood, and Mr.. Marvin upon
bis book in regular order. He informs US that
his method of taking the census is to call upon
the heads of families, and to ascertain the num-
Der in those families, and the number Of regular
boarders at the hotels whether they sleep there
in other parts of the city. He expresses viii
lingness to have the correctness Of his enumera-
ton tested, and if there are any omissions, be is
willing to abide the issue. Although Mr.. Brown
may be perfectly correct, yet we can sec no inn
propriety in having the matter testedit is better
for him, and will give satisfaction to the people
of this city.
CAH IT BE PossIBLE2-The Minnesotian,
speaking Of Mr.. Brown, the Census talser, re.
marks:
"Your boss cracks his whip about our ears
in the last number Of the St. Anthony paper of
which he is proprietor-the Express-and virtu-
ally tells the people OF St. Paul that he will take
the census in manner TO suit himself, and that
they may seek remedy as best they can. This
is no new thing, and we were entirely aware OF
it before the Sheriff promulgated his edict
through the columns of the Express The Min
nesotian is posted upon the subject of Chemung
Canal politics, and SO are sundry other persens-
in St. Paul"
Last winter, when the TINES took occasion
to expose some Of the tricks of Sheriff Fridley,
relative to the County and other matters, the
Minnesotian could not find language sufficient
ly bitter to apply to us for the course we were
pursuing. Then the amiable Sheriff and the
"Senior" of the Internal were "cheek by iowl,"
now, a ''change has come DER the spirit cf
their Dreams" and there are evidences of a col.
lision." Who was right last winters The Min.
nesotian or the TrMEss Old Father Time will
| answer.

ET Who is the Belle of St. Pauls We
know. But we have too great regard for our
personal comfort and safety to "speak out in
meetin" about her.. Isn't she divine, though?
And so good; not bit Of fllrt; she knows bet
ter how to live than to strive to be butterfly
for the poor pleasure Of trying to dazzle others
by the brief splendor of her wings. The little
feminine tricks of common beauties she guilt
less of. She does not, with affected modesty,
put down her veil on passing gentlemen i'll the
street. Not she. She has the stamp Of the
true metal. She is the Belle.

WELL DosE.-The federal government Of Swift
the United States at Berne (Mr. Fay,)a note ex.
pressing his regret that In some cantons the au-
thorides appeared to flavor the emigration to
America Of persons completely destitute, and even
Of criminals" These abuses, the American Envoy
observes, have been the object Of strong remon-
strances in the bosom even Of the Legislature, and
Congress was busy with the preparation Of law,
the object of which was put an end to the evils
by preventing the United States from
becoming the Botany Bay Of Europe.

LITTLE THoRNs.-The sweetest the most cling
ing affection is often shaken by the slightest breath
of unkindness the delicate tendrils of the vine
are agitated by the faintest air that blows in sum-
mer. An unkind word from one beloved, often
draws the blood from many a heart which would
defy the battle axe Of hatred Or the keenest edge
Of vindictive satire. Nay, the shade, the gloom
of the face, familiar and dear, awakens grief and
men of rougher form make their way throug them
without feeling much, extremely incommode per-
sons Of more refined turn, in their journey through
life, and make their travelling irksome and un-
pleasant.

The Printer the Master Of all Trades.-He
beats the farmer with his fast Hoe, the car
penter with his rules, and the mason in setting
up tall columns, he surpasses the lawyer and
doctor in attending to his case, and beats the
parson in his management of the "Deva!''
True Progress.-Subscriptio in advance!
Old Fogyism-Owing printers bill
Our Revolutionary Fathers.-Like good pria-
ters they locked UP the forms Of the Tories, and
double leaded the British columns!

European News-Telegraphic.

The steamship Washington, from Bremen uio
Southampton, arrived at New York, on Thursday
evening, the 18th inst Her dates from the latter
port are to the 2sth of March, being four days later
than those received by the Baltic, the last arrival
from Liverpool.
The reports from the Vienna Conference are
very vague and unsatisfactory The most reliable
reports are to the effect that the Allies do no not
insist on the demolition of Seeastopol. They pro.
pose, however, other conditions, said to be equally
disagreabe to the Russians.
From the Crimea the news is important. The
Russians are reported to have attacked the whole
Of the Allies before sebastopo on the 18th Of March,
and to have been defeated and driven back with
great loss
