A distinguished member Of the Bar in this

with P. Barton Key, Esq who has just end

Tended with great warmth the opinion that
women were naturally incon,tant, ard could

to the last man who would address them
with requisite batteries and appliances. tie
parted from his friend by pleasantly hoping
that he might never practically realize the
unsoundness Of his own opinions, and by
saying that he would send to him little
poem he had translated from the Spanish,
which embodied his own sentiments on the
subject.
One eve Of beauty. when the sun
Was on the stream Of tiuapalquivcr,
To gold converting. one by one,
The ripplcs OF that mighty river.
Beside me on Ike bank was seated
~ Seville girl with auhn,n hair,
And eyes that might the world have cheated =
\ bright, wild, wickod diamond rair.
She stopped and wrote upon the sand,
Just as the loving sun was goi"v.
With such small. white. shining hand,
You would have sworn twas silver flowing
Her words were three and not one moro;
What could Diara's motto bc2
The syren wrote upon the shore
Death-no inco,,sta,,cy.'
. And then she turned her lan.nei eyes
So full on mine that Devil take me,
] sat the mir on fire with signs.
And WIS the fool sho chose to make me.
St. Francis might hav. been creived
With such an eye and such hand;
Yet one week mo e and believed
AS much the woman as the sand.

The ID: mocral;c Nominees for Congress.

Inc II: Mocfat;C n 1minec for Congress.
There seems to be no limit to the extra,i-
gance Of the puffs our members Of the las,
House of Representatives are receiving from
the Democratic Prcss-evdently for the
purpose offorcing the denomination of At least
one Of them upon the Democratic State
Convention-an attempt to excite Juror in
their favor-to make the people believe tina:
they have done wonders-and that the case
o: Minnesota will be desperate, unless at
least one Of them is reelected. We have
seen enough Of this kind Of management
and enough Of Mr.: Cavanaugh-wo recollec.
the manner in which his former nomination
; ":; brought about-which was by the be-
traying on his part Of his very best friend,
whom he went into the convention instruct
ed and pledged to support, with all his
ability. That's the first feather in his cap
In Congress we cannot learn chat he has ac-
complished any thing or exerted any intlu-
ence beneficial to the State. He has attemp-
ed to make three or four spread eagle
speeches, which with himself fell fiat upon
the house, and as published in the papers
were very weak. We can't see what posi-
BILE claims he has for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
we believe that the interest Of the party de-
mand better man-not to say the people
The Democratic party with good ticket
GIN carry the next election. But it will be
of no use to attempt to carry it by gas and
humbug. What we want are good sound
men--men Of character and ability--known
to be such by the people-such men they
will vote for. We see in the Winona DEM
|ocrat the name Of VIM. Ashley Jones sug-
|gested as one Of the candidates. That name
strikes US very favorably. He is known
throughout the State as true Democrat
and gentleman. One, who if elected. would
1T once take leading position in Congress,
and exert all his energies and talent, which
are Of the first order for the best interests of
the State and nation. We would oe glad to
see him nominated. ~ . r,......., 81
In this connection another name is brought
to our lnind-which we believe has not I've.
fore been suggested by the press. It is
Christopher Graham, of the Henderson Land
Office: u man who is known to everybody
and that is loved and respected by every one
who knows him. A man not only qualified
to make brilliant show in Congress, but
what is better in the minds Of a great many
who can make brilliant run before the
people, whose equal is not to be found in the
State as stump speaker, because his words
and his sentiments come from the heart.
There are also plenty Of others we'll quail
itied, and who deserve the position. With
saeh an array Of men we sincerely trust that
real merit and desert viii! not be- neglected
for those who only excel IN tricks.

Mrs. sicklcs' Wedding Ring.


WAsH1NGroN, March Sd.
AS much speculation has been INDUCED
in regard to the return by Mr.. Sickles to
his wife of the wedding ring. the following
.ieta may possess interest. 1t appears that
Mr.. S;ckles was called upon by the clergy
man and informed that Mrs. Sicklcs was in
great mental agony, and that if such st.te
OF feeling continued long to exist, it would
probably end in mental alteration, or perhaps
self destruction. 1t was under such circum-
stances that the appeal was made to him to
restore to Mrs. Sickles the wedding ring,
which he had taken from her hand on the
DAY Of the tragedy. Mr.. Sickles in response,
that under these circumstances he conld not
resist the appea; in behalf of one he had So
long cherished with snch deep affection, and
that while be was willing to return the en-.
b'em of their former love and union, he re.
turned the ring br,k n, never to be united.
he had sundered the bonds SO typif1ed, too
ettectually ever to be repaired and while
he harbored no feelings Of resentment, he
was unalterably determined never to see her
more.
