to the observation to this performance. Nonsense
says one Beautiful adds another. Horrible, splen-

Surely that man is poet who gains such praise and
such abuse And verify we believe Evans and
did write poetry. There were parts of this Poem
which appeared as pure and gorgeous poetry for in
stance, TIE allusion to the American Bird III connex-
ion with Poland Campbell himself has not done
better, &c..
From The Globe.
The following brief aluson to Poland is from
Evans's Poem on Love and Patriotism, production
which is very highly praised &C.
From, the .llerdndria Gazette.
Mr.. Richard S. Evans is gentleman who has

as they did give our State Banks in 1912!
Their puny efforts at searching investi.
cations" for frauds which did not exist,
and which they knew had existed only as
the phantasmagoria Of their own prolific
hraigs--the rldicule and contempt so ca

their feeble scrutiny into Bank accounts,
which not one Of the committee could un-
derstand; the responsibility even of max
