A VIcrrN OF TELEGRAPl,c DISPATCHES
Thursday, the case Of John Ersklnc was
called. A tall man with short whiskers and
care.worn features and peculiar express
ion of countenance-a sort Of staring on
vacancy responded.
Charged with being drunk and disturb
ing the peace" roared the marshal. ...
"Tts all mistake, Mr.. Chairman-I beg
your pardon, your honor" said Mr.. Erskine.
II was not drunk. sir; repeat, sir. I was
not drunk. (Mr Erskine spoke vccy res
pectfully, and gesticulatel in most approx
cd style. 1t was manifest that he was not
unaccuStom"d to public spcaking.) twill
admit. sir" continued Mr.. Erskine, "that
may have acted strangely. But great hcav-
ems, sir - said Mr.. Erskine. in very ex-
cited manner, 'has your honor read the
latest telegraphic dispatches? Had any
body in this room read the latest telegraphic
dispatches ?" Mr.. Erskine paused: A
general sensation was manifest among the
spectators.
Il have read the latest telegraphic des-
patches" continued Mr.. Erskine deliber.
atcly, "and my brain is muddled, fuddlcd,
may say added, twisted, turned and inex-
tricably snarled. Ipresums acted strange
ly, but wasn't drunk, sir. am victim
Of the latest telegraphic despatches-thats
all, your honor"
The recorder, after this doleful statement,
regarded Mr.. Erskine with look Of the
utmost compassion. and, after consultation
with the policeman who caused his arrest,
intimidated he would consider his case by
and by.-&. Louis Republican,.

The New CoMEr.-An exchange says !:
The comet may be readily seen by means
Of night glass Of two and half inch
aperture, at about IS degrees altitude, in
the Northeast, at 3 o'clock, making an apex
an equiateral triangle, at the cxtremities
Of whose base are two bright stars pointed
to by the two brightest stars in the little
bear and just below them. An object glass
Of five inch aperture brings out the nucleus
surrounded by coma or hair, but developes
no tail The astronomers at Cambridge
will soon inform US whether it is new
comet or the return Of an old old one. The
Goth asteroid is within couple of degrees
Of the second bright star above Spica in the
direction OF the ecliptic, but inasmuch as it
is Of the thirteenth magnitude, and among
many small stars, it would be difficult
task, even now, for an ordinary observer to
detect it and could not be seen with an
object glass of less aperture than five
inches

ALEX. HAMILTON OF THE CONSTITUTION OF
THE UNITED SrArEs.-The following pro-
phetic language was held by Alexander
Hamilton, on his resignation Of the office ol
the Secretary Of the Treasury in 1905
Holding in his hand small book, contain.
ing copy Of the Federal Constitution, he
said:
Now, mark my words! So long as we
are young and virtuous people this instru.
ment will bind us together in mutual inter.
est, mutual welfare, and mutual happiness
but when We bScomc Old and corrupt it will
bind US no longer.

WINoNA, April II, 1851.

"lNoNA, Aprll II, 1851.
Col. Richardson--Sir: Having roamed
somcways from home, thought would
write down and see if you are still in the
Union" National affairs seem to have
come to rather critical condition; our
only hold on the South given up, we have
not where we can 60 in the sunny land
and have our claims recognized. 80 tens-
porW o Wores!" The war has actually be-
gun, and time only can develop the fatal
consequences. But amid the scenes of car.
mage and strife that the telegraph reports
as transpiring, south Minnesota still goes
steadily on with plenty of men to do her
service in war, and sufficient to provide for
home affairs.
After leaving McGrcgor, our boat pur-
sued its meandering way along over the
bosom OF the mighty river, while, in silent
grandeur, on either side, the towering bluffs
lose with their crown of evergreen, making
he scene one Of imposing beauty. The
title hamlets set along the rocky cliffs
showed signs Of life, while ever and anon
vas seen clustered in some quiet nook
Western City" Passing along, we ar
lived at the city of La Crosse, famous for
"Brick." There quite laughable scene oc-
;urred. A gentleman, having donkey
,hoard for that point, was striving to land
lirn, but it was mo go;" he then threw
blanket over his head (cars and all,) when
ne made no more resistance. A wag stand.
,ng by, remarked to "Republican" friend,
''he goes some as your administration does;
rather blind" The joke took, but was
soon stopped by the animal, who commence
ed braying
About three o'clock, the same day We
made this port, and least anchor for a
time. This is one Of the finest cities in
the West, excelling in beauty Of location
Great taste has been used in laying out the
streets, and in building. 1t is on . plain
similar to your ncighbor over the way, but
much nicer. The citizens are very encr
getic, and seem to pride themselves on their
young and prosperous town. As to its
business, il drives along brisk. There are
no very heavy dealers in merchandise, there
being no call from the country for whole
sailing; but as q produce market it claims
to lead the van. How this is am not able
to say, but this know, it deals very heavy,
as its streets show now, while they are
shipping. But there is one thing Winona
will excel in, and that is ladies'. You would
think sometimes there was nothing but wo-
men here. The streets from ono end to the
other, is but one sea of these angels of
earth. Some poet Of fame ought to remove
here, that he might immortalize himself on
these themes Of pocsy. Since my stay
here, thy eyes have been gladdened by the
appearance on our streets of q delegation
from McGregor. who, after short call,
bade our city adieu, and went on their way
with steamboat. We would advise you,
If you have no young men to lose, to keep
them at home, Has McGr.gor lost you!--
EDS. for as sure as they come here they
are "gone up" Wishing the Times pros
pcrity, lam yours, truly.

WooINc OF SIR ISAAC NswroN.--It is
said that Sir Isaac Newton did once in his
life 60 woong, and as he was expected,
had the greatest indulgence paid to his little
peculiar,tics which ever accompany great
geniuses. Knowing he was fond Of smok.
ing, the lady assidiously provides him with
a pipe, and they seated as il to open the
business of Cupid. Sir Isaac smoked a
few whiffs- seemed at loss for something,
whitfield again and at last drew his chair to
the lady-a pause, for some minutes en-
sucd-Sir Isaac seemed still more uneasy
oh, the timidity Of some, thought the lady
when, 10! Sir Isaac had got hold Of her
hand. Now the palpitation began he will
kiss it, no doubt, thought she, and then the
matter is settled. Sir Isaac whitfield with
redoubled fury, and drew the captive hand
near his head; already the expected salute
vibrated from the hand to the heart, when.
pity the da,nsel, gentle reader, Sir Isaac
only raised tn fair hand to make the fore
finger what he much nccded-a tobacco
stopper!

T0o DOE 200 hor Faw0& So
The Knickcrbockcr is graccd with this
picture of the home Of the doe and her
iawns. 1t is from "A day at Long Lake :"
Let the reader watch with US at this COW.
Witnessed scene like this. We shall not
have time to wait her egrcss long. Hark'
she is coming even now. Tho trailing fr.
trips out, half proudly and half timidly.-
She stops short and qnickly turns her largo
facile ears, now forward, now backward, TO-
ing A long time she stands with one fore
foot slightly lifted, and her liquid eyes rovc
into every nook in the glen. She Is gaunt
motherly cares and alarms have wrought
severely upon the gentle creature. Her
long scrutiny, it seems, is satisfactory, and
she trots few steps away from the cover,
but ouly to halt at few rods distance, and
turn fond look back upon the spot tbas
conceals her treasures and her cares. Fl
nally persuaded that the coast is indeed
clear, she starts off down the glen at
quicker, more decided trot, and is out Of
sight. She is gone to the brook, eighty
rods away, to crop the wild water -grass,--
One who has seen this will hardly again
draw trigger upon SO ,nothcrly creature.
Now that the doe is away, perhaps We
might steal hasty peep at those loved,
torturing treasures of hers. II so, VIC must
be quick and silent about it, for she is like.
ly not to be away long, and the most tri..
fling whim getting into her brain would send
her back any moment. Let US creep to the
far side of her retreat. and there wind our
way on the ground, under the heavy spruce
branches. This should he spot, the centre
Of the thickct; but where is her bed -
You don't see il; a careless eye could not
detect it in that stray handful Of moss
But our guide tells us to peer closely, and
surely there is the slightest Of palpitations
under that bl"nket somewhere; it rises and
sinks, as If to the faint breathing of somc-
thing. Carey lifts the moss blanket, and
ah there they are ! two Of the tinicst Of
satin.coated, vclvetspottcd ncstlings hud-
died up together, The little hoofs that
hardly would cover ten cent bit shine like
polished ebony. What look of guileless
wonder is in the large tame eyes. They do
not start or shrink with fear for they know
NJ enemies. This one raises it's head to lick
your hands, anil rub its velvet nose against
your palm, and appears to like your caress-
es. But they shiver the damp, raw air Of
the spruce thicket is too chill; and we must
hurry away from this sanctiticd precinct OF
maternal solicitude; so replac, the moss,
warm and downy. and we will shy away.

Oh say, can you see ny the dawn's early light.

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the per-

streaming;
And the rockets red glare the bombs bursting In air.
Gave proof through the night that our dag still
Oh say does the star-spans,ed banner still, wave,
Ocr the land OF tn iree aud the home Of the brsvef
On the shore, dimly through the mist ofthe deep
Where the toes naughty host In dread silence re-

What Is that, which the breeze DER the towering
Asr Gtfuily blows, half conceals, hair disclosesi
Now catches the CLEAN OF the mornings first beam,
In full glery reflected shines the st, cam;
'Tis the star-spang'ed banner, long may il wave,
Ger the land Of tile free, and the home of the brave
And where IL the band that so vauntingly swore
That the havoc OF war, and the battles confusion
home ana country should leave u no morci
Their blood has washd out their ioul footsteps pol

No refuge could save the hireling and slave,
From the terror fignt or the gloom OF the grave
And the star-spaDgled banner in triumph doth wave,
Ger the lane Of the free, aud he home Of the brave
