A CURIosIrY.-The other day, party of
gentlemen from our city, while searching
for a pair of runaway horses, in the vicinity
of the Rice Lakes, saw in marsh at a
short distance, a veritable sand-lill Crane,
sitting in it's nest AS it rose slowly, it dis
covered pair of supporters that put all
Shanghae productions entirely into the
shade, and stretching out its neck, stood
some six or seven feet high. None of the
party having gun at hand, it could aOt
te secured, and flew leisurely away Curl
Osity induced Mr. THEODORE FRENCH, one
OF the party. to GO to the nest and for
that purpose he was obliged to construct Il
sort of bridge distance of some twenty
feet. He found il to be large, circular
structure, very firmly and neatly made, and
topped with moss In it were two eggs, of
large dimensions and of very singular shape
Oneis inches in circumference lengthwise
and nearly the same the shortest way, it be-
ing slightly oval in shape The difficulty in
the matter now, is,--how is it to be Matched?
The help of live goose is proposed for that
purpose, but geese are scarce article !;
and what is worse, there is no Eccaleo-
bion," or patent egg incubator, in St. Paul
1t is pity the specimen can't be raised.

The WlnnebagOes.

Our city had the honor yesterday of a
visit from several hundred Wirnebagoes,
with their squawS; and during the day they
paraded the streets in all the gaudy linery,
which is the sure token that they have re-
Gently been in the receipt Of government
annuities Most. Of the chiefs and braves,
with Little Hill at their head, were in the
party, and during the afternoon grand
dance took place in front Of the capitol. -
Quite number of ladies graced the official
realms of the Governor and Secretary with
their presence, in order to obtain view of
the proceedings, the Capitol steps were
crowded, and the lawn in front was thickly
covered with Indians, some of whom were
in their gayest dress, and Others, and not
few Of them, as nearly naked as they could
be. The dancers, about fifty in number, oc-
cupied the centre space Of the lawn around
them ring of braves were seated, and be-
hind them circle Of squaws papooses, &C.
Two Indian and one American flags, were
stuck in line, at proper distances in front Of
the Capitol, and before them safe the band,
which thumped drums and blew whistles
with unceasing energy. The dance was
protracted for nearly or quite two hours,
and formed wild and exciting scene which
can hardly be described. 1t must have been
pleasant one to those engaged in it for at
the termination Of each dance, they returned
to their places laughing with right good will
Little Hill had talk" with the Cover
nor, and after receiving an order Tor bull
locks, he intimated that it was his intention
to depart for his new home Immediately.
Such sights as this used to be familiar to
the older citizens of st. Paul. They are
growing less and less frequent and this,
the latest and one of the most brilliant of
them oil, may not inaptly be regarded as
the last flicker of the candle-the Indian
has passed away, and, to us is no more.

eaters, the extremists. The French Ja-
collins, during their short, short reign, con-
trived to do more mischief to the popu-
lar cause, than all the monarchs of Eu-
rope and all their minions could have
effected in life time. The observation
holds good on this side Of the Atlantic.
AS one instance, / defy any cool unpreju-
diced man to read the proceedings Of the
late Ohio constitutional convention, with
out being convinced to demonstration
that every Objectionable provision, in the
new constitution, was the work Of the
6re-eaters, against the determined and
strenuous efforts of the orthodox and
moderate democrats. Poor wretches, they
had no language sufficiently foul to bestow
on the men, who were determined to tax
the Banks as heavily, and only as hesvily
as the people. They were determined to
do more, and in consequence of their
doings, the Banks pay hone, the people
pay all, and the Democratic party is Wis
tied with undeserved defeat and disgracs.

For the skies are bright, and the world is fair,
There's music quivering in the air,
Ny heart still clings to idols of clay,
s4S Not yet not yet!
o, take me not yet from the world away.
Bid me not part from my dear ones now,
Ny lips have Just breathed loves holiest vow;
They circle me round, and 1 cannot depart,
And lessen their hold on my trembling heart
My hopes are still fixed on this beautiful dream;

o, bid me not float on a boundless sea,
While this beautiful world is so lovely 70 me;
For the wine of life gushes redly up,
Bright flowers are twining its crystal cup,
My loved ones hands are holding me back;
Not yet! not yeti
For my spirit shrinks from that gloomy track
Forgive me, Q Father, my selfish fears,
This clinging. to. earth and these bitter tears;

And my lips shall BREATHE as new strength is
