Hymn OF the Marsellaisc, ,

The Marsellaise was inspired by genius.
patriotism, beauty, youth and champagne.
Robert de Lisle was an officer Of the gsrri-
son at Strasbourg, and . native Of Mt.
Jura, was an unknown poet and composer.
lie had pleasant friend, named Deitrick,
whose wife and daughter were the only
critics and admirers Of the soldier poets
songs. One night he was at supper with
his friends family ard they had only coarse
bread and slices of ham. D,itrick, looking
sorrowfal at De Lisle said 0' "9
Plenty is not our feast, but we have
the courage OF the soldiers heart I have
still one bottle left in the cellar-bring it
my daughter, and let VI drink to liberty
and our country" gr5aHes ~.
Tho young girl brought the bottle; il was
soon exhausted, and Dc Iisle went staeeer-

but his heart was warm and full Of the beat.

then burst forth into a cry of enthusiasm (!
II was the song Of the nation and Of terror.
Two months afterwards De;trick went to
the scafold, listening to the selc.same music
composed under his own roof and by the
inspiration Of his last hottie of wine. The
people sang it everywhere it few from city
to city; to every public orchestra. Mar.
sellaise adopted the song at the. opening and
close Of its clubs-hence the name (" Hymn
Of the Marsellaise;" thence it spread Ill over
France. They sung it in their houses. in
public assemblies, and in the stormy street
convocation. De Lisle's mother heard il
and said to her SON: 'Esti issS'i@'is ~

There is no national dir that will COM

The Chatfield Election Frauds-Reo
Question before the Court.

Tho st. Paul TIN 8 published an article
. short time since, in which it was assumed
that the Supreme Court had decided who
were elected Senators from Fillmore county,
and theEeupon. ssys the Court exceeded its
jurisdiction, because the Sena'e is the ex.
elusive judges Of that matter; and then in 4
very wishy' washy way, pretends to partial.
ly excuse the Court, because the counsel

and the Court, as the Minnesot:as only
would This is a very pretty "skir,nisb,' :,
we'll calculated to misiead and deceive their
readers as to the real state. of the case.
The fact =, tho l,,n,iises Of the Times and
llinnfsotian are entirely false. '4
The point decided BY the .Cour: was not
who was elected p but " who is entitled to

turns entirely upon the question, 4whether
the Board Of fCanvasss,s lad right to go b.
hind the returns Of the precinct officers, to
ascertain if tho election was fair onerr

only point decided BY the Court. "The coun-

above, the court did not decide any such

that Judge Wilson, Of the third district, has

In festive waltz athwart the glass.
