Col. Bakers Position.

The election of Col. Baker to the q. s..
Senate, from Oregon, has been commented
on very generally by the press, and in
Oregon it appears that the Democratic
papers (both wipgs) have generally de-
nounced the coalition by which one Repub-
lican Senator was elected. Thishss brought
out an address from the fifteen Douglas
members of the Legislature, who united
with the Republicans, in which they excuse
themselves as follows, in voting for Col.
Baker:
"We were influenced to some extent by
his position upon the slavery question in
the Territories position differing but
little from that OF our own party. Although
acting with the Republicans, Col. Baker,
in the canvass of this State last Spring,
openly declared himself in favor of practi-
cal on-lntervention, and allowing the Terri
tories, as well as the States, to settle their
domestic affairs in their own way: His
often repeated declaration upon the stump
in California in the State canvass last year,
while his private professions, more recently
made, leave US no room to doubt his sim
certify. In voting for him, therefore, our
sacrifice of principles seems to be more in
name than in substance. Aside from parti-
zan politics, we are satisfied that Col. Baker
will prove wise, able and prudent Seua-
tor, and will reflect credit upon the State
which has entrusted him with the position,
which is more than can be said, with truth,
of our Senators hitherto"

The Emperor Napoleon and tho
American Minister.

The Paris correspondent of the New
York Times writes that the American
Minister to Paris (Mr. Faulkner) was re-
Gently summoned to the palace of st. Cloud
to deliver into the hands of His Majesty
the letter of recall of the Couut de Sar-
tiges as Minister at Washington. This
ceremony, where ministers only are con.
cerned, is usually performed with the Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs; but the Emperor
desired, no doubt, to show special atten-
tention on this occasion to the agent of the
United States. In this interview Mr..
Faulkner was retained long time in friend
Iy conversation with His Majesty, in which
the latter displayed that wonderful general
knowledge of affairs all over the world, for
which be is remarkable, and recalled in all
its details, with many expressions of delight,
his visit to the United States. He spoke of
his astonishment at the wonderful activity
of New York after arriving from sluggish
Europe. He referred at length to the war
fears of England, and denounced those fears
as the greatest absurdity. He had not now
and never had thought of provoking a
war with England. His pride and ambi-
tion was to elevate France to high position
of commercial and agricultural prosperity,
and he could best accomplish this by re-
naming the friend and ally of England.
To suppose that he would 60 to war with
England for revenge was small compli-
ment to his craftsmanship. The Emperor
was warm in his expressions Of friendship
to the people Of the United States, and
promised bis good will in the conclusion of
a new commercial treaty.

BY o. ". HOLMES.

We count the broken Tyres that rest,
Where the sweet wailing singers slumber,
But DER their silent sisters breast
The wild flowers who will stop to number,
A few can touch the magic string,
And noisy fame is proud to win them;
Alas for those that never sing
But die with all their music in them.
Nay, grieve not for the dead alone,
Whose song has told their hearts sad story
Weep for the voiceless who have known
The cross without the crown of glory!
Not where Leucadian breezes sweep
Ger Sappho's memory.haunted pillow,
But where the glistening night dews weep
Ger nameless sorrows churchyard pillow.
o, hearts that break and give no sign
Save whitening lips and fading tresses,
Till death pours out his cordial wine,
Slow.dropped from misery's crushing
presses
If singing breath or ech0ing chord
To every hidden pang were given,
What endless melodies were poured,
As sad as earth, as sweet as Heaven!

The Esquimaux Dog.

The Esquimaux dog is character-his
disposition riddle. He has wicked eye
and treacherous physiognomy, yet be sell
dom attempts violence to man. A stickor
q stone will drive him away instantly,
should his proximity prove unpleasant.
With bis fellows he is apt to be quarrel
some. If one be worsted in the struggle,
the whole gang fall upon him, and then bis
life is not worth farthing unless his mas.
ter comes to the rescue. In like manner
they all rush upon man, should he chance
to fall and fail to spring to his feet before
they can reach him. When harnessed to
the kommetiks or sleds. if the sled be sud.
den ly checked. by an obstruction, they in.
stantly pitch into each other indiscriminate-
", and the fight is only stopped by Wig.
orous application Of the whip. This whip
is q curiosity-the handle not more than q
foot in length, and the lash often as long as
nine fath0ms. An expert will use it with
wonderful dexterity, hitting the smallest
object its length from him. This imple.
ment is as essential to dog driving as steam
is to locomotive, but its constant use is
severe tax to the muscles of the arm.
When two persons are riding together,
they relieve each other at frequent inter-
walls. The dogs are attached to the
sledge each by single trace Of seal hide,
the traces Of different lengths, and are driven
abreast, spreading out like a fan, as they run.
The tracks upon the snow are like those
left by drove of wolves passing. The
sledge is from three to sixteen feet in length
with low runners shod with whalebone or
iron, and lashed to their cross-pieces Of
wood by strong strips Of seal hide. To the
Esquimaux the dog is almost indispensable.
Last winter, they, as well as the whites, lost
nearly all by hydrophobis. But five or six
were left in the whole Bay and vicinity.
The disease was wholly confined to the ma
tive dogs, and did not affect the Newfound-
landers and other breeds. The coming win.
ter will find the people in great straits.

AT Norfolk, Virginia, on Wednesday
evening last, Mr.. Jesse T. Newell took q
pistol from the hands of bis little son, and
while examining it, it was accidentally dis
charged. Laura, (Mr. Newell's daughter,)
a beautiful and interesting little girl Of nine
summers, was seated on the steps getting
her lesson when the pistol went of, and in
stantly jumped up, she exclaimed, "Oh! pa
you have killed mel" As she said this, the
blood burst from her nose and mouth She
fell forward and instantly expired. The un-
happy father, in q moment of frenzy, at.
temnted to take bis own life.

ROCK ME TO SLEEP.

The subjoined poem-we know not who
wrote it's one of the most beautiful Of its
kind we have ever seen. We do not envy the
heart which does not thrill to its wild and ten.
der music:
Backward. turn backward. oh, Time in your
fight
Make me child again, just for tonight!
Mother, come back from the echoless shore,
Take me again to your heart as of yore-
Kiss from my forehead the furrOws of care,
Sooth the few silvery threads out of my hair
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep
Rock me to sleep, mother; rock me to sleep!
Backward. flow backward, oh, tide of years!
l am so weary of tolls and of tears;
Tolls without recompense tears all in vain;
Take them and give me my childhood again!
have grown weary of dust and decay,
Weary of linging my soul.wealth away!
Weary of sowing for others to reap;
Rock me to sleep, neither rock me to sleep!
Tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue,
Mother, oh, mother, my heart calls for you!
Many Summer the grass has grown green,
Blossomed and faded; our faces between;
Yet with strong yearning and passionate pain,
Long to night for your presence again:
Come from the silence so long and so deep!
Rock me to sleep, mOther--rock me to sleep!
Over my heart in days that are flown,
No love like mother.love ever has shone
No other worship abides and endures,
Faithful, unselfish and patient, like yours.
None like mother can charm away pain,
From the sick soul and the world weary brain;
Slumber's soft calm o'er my heavy lids creep !!
Rock me to sleep, mother; rock me to sleep!
Come let your brown hair, just lighted with
gold
Fall on your shoulders again as of old
Let it fall over my forehead to night,
Shading my faint eyes away from the light;
For with its sunny. edged shadows once more,
Hap'ly will throng the sweet visions of yOre,
Lovingly, softly, its bright pillows sweep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!
Mother, dear mother! the years have been
long
Since last hushed to your lullaby song:
Sing them and unto my soul it shall seem
Womanhoed's years have been but dream;
Clasp to your arms in loving embrace,
With your light lashes just sweeping my face,
Never hereafter to make or to weep
Rock me to sleep, mother-rock me to sleep!

THE SHADOWS.

The following remarkable story by Leon

nardin ST. Pierre's Three Strange Visitors" /"

Last winter Twas in the habit of going
every Wednesday evening to reunion in
the " Maris," over which lady, belonging
to an old legal family, presided with exqui-
site grace. had consulted rather my
tastes and quiet habits, than my age, in
seeking an introduction amongst the grave
spirits and solemn characters which COM
posed this society. You meet there very
few young people of the world rarely any
females who had not accomplished their
forty years. If accident brought thither
one of less certain date, they never returned
q second time. They carried away with
them the recollection of long yellow candles,
shedding yellow light over yellow fguers;
of sofas, on the backs of which the hands
of Justice were embroidered in black and
white silks; of tapestry of "Aubussion," /"
apple green, and upon which might be dis
tinguished, in faint-marked squares, first
the fatal duel of the Bourbon de BoutevilIe
with the Marquis de Bouveron, in the
center of the Place Royale. Further on,
you saw the Baron de Bouteville arrested
by the Provost and his officers at Vitry-le-
Brule. Further still, upon square which

execution upon the Place de Greve.

windows; the pictures, out of all proper.

portraits of Judges, and Presidents a
Mortier," all surmounted by wigs Of size
which gave them the appearance of black
lions growing beneath their mighty names.
After few months, however, you began
to grow familiar with these terrors. Grad.
ually I dared to look upon the portrait oil
the great ancestor of the family, standing
upright in his frame, which was at least q
foot thick, and dressed in the costume of a
Judge of the "Chambe Ardente." even
dared to touch it.
The mistress Of the mansion had described
to me the characters and habits of the few
persons who made up her Wednesday even
ings. They were the remains of old fami
lies, who were unreproached by even the
slightest condescension toward the Empire
with all it's seductions, and who had de
manded of the restoration nothing more thar
the innocent privilege of resuming thei
early habits.
Madame de Hacqueville permitted me II
come early, in order to introduce me one b,

with their presence.
